Washington St. Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mayor McDonald: As a resident of the northeast side of Iowa City I am aware that the Press -Citizen is attempting to rezone part of Don Gatens land to research park. My land ajoins the Don Gatens tract as well as A.C.T.'s land. 1 am not opposed to this development. I think it is a natural progression for this area. In addition, I would appreciate being advised by your staff how my land will best fit into your long term zoning plans. Sincerely, ...rs.

When the transaction was over, the cashier asked her to sign the petition asking that the CU be -allowed to expand. Since she knew the story, she refused; at that point she was subjected to a 'selling speech' by the cash- ier. When she still refused, she got a dirty look for her trouble. She informs me that the other cashiers were also involved in trying to get their customers to sign the petition. Since Fred Krause will undoubtedly present the petition to you, with many,many names attached, I thought you might like to know how they were gotten. In- cidentally, the signees, if they are like my student, will not be part of the neighborhood affected, and will not have been told anything about the reasons for the present zoning law, the fact that, with only one excep- tion, the people of the neigborhood who came to the various meetings are totally opposed to the change requested by the CU, or anything else except the fact that the CU wants to expand. (The one 'neighbor' who spoke for the change has a sizeable financial interest in having that happen.) When you see all of the names on the petition, I hope you will consider all of the above, and take the petition with a grain of salt. Incidentally, when Mr Krause was before the Zoning Committee he was full of his love for older homes and was promising to move them and not destroy them if he could have his parking lot. I noticed that he didn't bother with that line when speaking with you. I wonder if that is because he doesn't think you would care, or because he fully in- tends to raze them if he wins, and didn't want to get caught by you in a lie. Sincerely, ,e;in �dw --- K. K.

DEPARTMENT We are the residents of 1710 North Dodge Street in Iowa City and have recently been approached by the Publisher of the Iowa City Press Citizen about a proposed site for their new printing facility that would be located directly accross the highway from our property that is currently owned by Gatens Cattle company, 2041 Dubuque Road. After reviewing the plans that the publisher showed us, we have some reservations about allowing this site to be used for this purpose. One of our greatest concerns is that of the increased traffic problems. This area is already a highly hazardous traffic area. The Press Citizen representative stated the current employee count to be at 75 and further stated that this should pose no further traffic hazards due to the fact that employee traffic is so sporadic throughout the twenty-four hour work cycle, that they would go unnoticed. The problem here, is gaining access to and from the highway. The traffic that consumes this highway does not observe the 45 MPH speed limit and during the hours of 8 A.M. and 4 P.M. is especially deadly in this area when attempting to gain access to and from the highway, We know, we fight the situation every day and eventually, someone is going to get killed on this highway. They dart out in front of oncoming traffic from Dubuque Road, which is very close to this proposed site as well as our property. In addition to this, the proposed entrance to this site is directlty accross from our entrance, Both parties will be competing for access to the highway and any night activity at this entrance will disturb our sleep with headlights shinning in our bedroom windows. We are also concerned about the proposed rezoning issue. What is this going to do to our property value should any of this take place? Is anybody going to buy our house with all of the congestion that will be in their front yard? Are you going to condemn a portion of our property to build a four lane freeway to accomodate these intrusions into this area? If so, will you still charge us $1600,00 per year in property taxes for this worthless property? Please take a moment to think about these issues because we certainly have and they are frightening to us property owners residing along this stretch of highway. Luckily, most of us do riot have many small children to worry about. We decided in 1973 to live in this area because of the "country" setting present in this area. The setting has been diminished somewhat in the last few years due to the traffic situation, but is still much better than living in town. Taking the setting into consideration, our oppinion of building a printing facility, or any building in this area, would contribute more harm to the "country " atmosphere and totally destroy the overall aesthetic value of this area of which there are so few left in Iowa City. We i therefore recomend that this area remain in it's natural state. I Please note further that we were informed by this representative that they have purchased approximately twenty six acres of land for this venture and we are worried about the future. What will - become of the unused acres of land that the Press Citizen owns but does not occupy? Who will Press Citizen sell to? We feel there are too many Quick i Trips, Seven Elevens, Gas Stations and Pizza Parlors in this city as it is. We certainly don't need them out here. We have one final observation/concern which deals with the possible i installation of a traffic light at the intersection of Dodge Street and Dubuque Road. All this will do is back the traffic up from the intersection and block the driveways of the property , owners in the area which could cause a potential emergency disaster should an Ambulance or Fire Truck need to access one of these houses during this traffic buildup. Please give these concerns your careful consideration when this issue is presented to you on Tuesday. We will be monitoring the progress of this matter and are prepared to exercise our rights with legal counsel to oppose this matter should it appear that Press Citizen gets a rezoning approval.

DEPARTMENT Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Mr. Scott: We have learned that Gannet Newspapers and the Iowa City Press Citizen are proposing to build a large printing and distribution plant on Highway I northeast of Iowa City and they have requested a change in zoning. As long-time residents of that area, we wish to record some of our concerns relating to this project. Highway I between Howard Johnson's and Iowa City is one of the last entrances to the city that is still relatively unspoiled and preserved in its naturally wooded state. A few years ago the Environmental Commission recommended that this area remain as a buffer zone. We fear that changing the zonine to office park could lead to further rezoning and even spot zoning and eventually to the development of yet another commercial strip. In that event we project a depreciation in the value residential property in the area. Therefore we believe that the developers should assure and guarantee that the natural beauty of the area will be maintained and we look to the Planning and Zonir.g Committee to make this a serious consideration in their discussion. Our second major concern is safety on the highway. The Press Citizen has 80 permanent and 40 part- time employees. Together with customers visiting the Press Citizen offices, they will add considerably to the volume of traffic on Highway I. Only those who live on the highway appreciate the current heavy traffic from American College Testing and National Computer Systems at certain times of the day. Residents with children will be particularly concerned with safety as will those residents who must make turns against the flow of traffic. We have been "rear-ended" on two occasions already and cannot take this matter lightly. Any proposal for rezoning should, in our opinion, be preceded by a satisfactory study and plan to deal with the expected increase in traffic generated by the Press Citizen. This plan might include turning lanes or traffic lights. Our last concern is that increased traffic may lead to enlarging the highway to four lanes. Previous widenings made access to our property more difficult and further widening can only compound our problem. We ask that our concerns be considered by the Planning and Zoning Committee in their deliberations on this rezoning proposal. Yours sincerely, John Claancyncy,, MM. �LJo wr•,� .D.

DEPARTMENT We would like to voice our concerns to you regarding the proposed rezoning of property located immediately north of our residence for purposes of building a new Press Citizen building. Our main concern regarding this proposed building site is the traffic problem it will create in our area. The traffic is already a problem on this stretch of roadway which runs from the Hilltop DX Station/HyVee and Drugtown stores to the Westinghouse Corporation north of the interstate. This traffic is heavy day and night, and the addition of what we were told to be 60 Press Citizen employees (which we assume will be increased due to a larger operation made possible by a larger building, and which will be multiplied by at least two trips per car) is more than the residents of our neighborhood and motorists passing thru this area can safely negotiate. (This figure also does not take into account the numerous delivery vehicles, customers, etc. who will need to make use of this sight.) We believe a 24 hour traffic count should be taken on this stretch of roadway with a study made to determine whether the current speed limit should be lowered to accommodate all the traffic pulling in and out of the existing businesses and side streets. There are near accidents almost daily and brakes squealing at all times. If you will drive out on North Dodge Street, you will see the abrupt turns into the proposed area. And the traffic when ACT and Westinghouse employees change their shifts is unbelievable! Adding 60 plus cars to this massive commuter rush will only add to the hazard we all now face. There are commercial sites near the Highlander that may be more suitable to this type of need and which have a direct access to Interstate 80. We would like to request a copy of your staff report on this discussion when it is available, and we would also like to give you permission to park in our driveway whenever you wish in order to observe the traffic flow in this area. We are certain you will find that there is a definite traffic problem at this point in time, and allowing the Press Citizen, or any commercial business of any type to operate from this area would be a hazard to our entire community. Thank you for giving your time and consideration to our thoughts on this matter. Sincerely, �/v✓�o�� v v�'L < William D. and Dorothe Connell 1655 N.

Our endorsement is based on the following factors: I. Staff recommendation that the proposed Office, Research, and Development Zone Amendment is consistent with the current Comprehensive Plan update process. 2. The Chamber believes that because of current utilization, accessibility to a transportation infrastructure system and desirable environmental conditions, the future develop- ment of the Highway I corridor is best served by a Office, Research Development Center Classification. 3. Convincing evidence that the development restrictions of a RUP Zone will maintain environmental integrity while encouraging future growth consistent with the City's economic development strategies. 4. Staff recommendation that traffic flow an Highway 1 would not be negatively impacted in the near future by re- zoning and any subsequent development on the site in question. 5. Support for the Iowa City Press -Citizen and their proposed relocation project. The Chamber believes the Press -Citizen project will be beneficinl to the community as whole. A $7.8 million dollar expansion of a major existing industry, with a commitment to contract locally is enthusiastically supported. This project shows a commitment by both the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce P.O. Box 2358 Iowa City, Iowa 52244 319.337-9637 a J do Page 2. Planning and Zoning Commission Press -Citizen and the Gannett Corporation to invest in our community and to improve a significant local resource. It is also clear to us that the Press -Citizen has pledged a project that protects environmental integrity, and compared to any other potential use of that property including residential, it provides the greatest potential return to the community with the least negative environmental impact. From every thing we have reviewed the Press -Citizen is going beyond the requirements of the RDP zone to protect current property owners. The public scrutiny reserved for the local paper may ultimately provide the best protection for the future development of the entire 37 acres purchased by the Press - Citizen. We would welcome the opportunity to respond to any questions the commission might have. Thank you for your consideration.

JOHNSON ST IOWA CITY, IOWA 167? 2150 Dubuque Road Iowa City, Iowa 52240 October 3 1988 i i i Planning and Zoning Commission i Iowa City Iowa Ladies and Gentlemen: - E Once again the Planning and Zoning Commission is being asked to rezone 1 residential property on North Dodge Street to commercial use, disguised in 4 this instance as Research & Development Park Zone. - i t I When the intersection of Highway 1 and Interstate 80 was-rezoned—commercial residents _ of the area were assured that the highway into Iowa City would not become another strip such as exists in Coralville and another similar strip along Muscatine east of First Avenue. Shortly after that the ACT was allowed i to develop residential property to the south of their initial plant. 4 This was a big mistake and ACT should have been asked to extend their . premises to the east adjacent to Interstate 80. Later the HYVEE requested a change of z4ng to build its store which the Planning and Zoning Commission wisely denied only to have a stupid City Council override the t- decision even though the residents of the area were 99% j ^ against the rezoning. �J �. As I drive to downtown Iowa City daily I am always struck by the beauty of this entrance into town -- gentle hills with walls of lovely trees j on both sides somewhat resembling a forested area. The Planning and Zoning f$ Commission should consider carefully allowing any further commercial zoning along this road. A Research and Development Park Zone is certainly better ' - than a supermarket , but a residential area is residential. The west side j of the road is all single dwelling housing and the east side should be its counterpart. I am impressed by the Press Citizen's desire to preserve all of the beauty of the road and believe it probably {. could be accomplished but certainly strict guidelines would have to be set and adhered to to maintain the quiet atmosphere of this district. The HYVEE has increased traffic a great deal and while the Press Citizen would not add greatly to traffic already on this road, it would appear as just another step to make a a four lane road necessary. Isn't any property safe from business interests? With all the landisurrounding.Iowa City and other commercial areas developed, there should be other choices for building a printing plant than taking residential areas. If the Press Citizen sticks to the proposed landscaping, etc, I am i not really opposed to the move, but there has to be a stop sometime. 1 Very truly yours, IVC OCT 18 19888 P,H.,. .-PARTMENT i /679 I City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: October 28, 1988 To: Planning & Zoning Commission From: Barry Beagle, Associate Planner Re: Z-8811. Iowa City Press -Citizen Rezoning The Planning & Zoning Commission raised a number of questions regarding the Press -Citizen rezoning proposal and has requested staff input. This memorandum is in response to those questions. Enclosed are revised Development Standards dated October 24, 1988, as. submitted by the applicant. The revised standards clarify a number of issues identified by staff and Commission, and specifically address the berm adjacent to the highway, the orientation of external lights, and clarifies the proposed building height. Section 4.20(1) has been revised to indicate that the natural grade adjacent to the highway, upon final grading of the site, will be retained to create a berm as reflected on the Site -Section Plan. Section 8.20(2) indicates that external lighting shall be downward directed to minimize glare off-site; and Section 9.30 has been revised to reflect that the building height shall be in accordance with the Building Elevation Plan. The building is to be constructed to an approximate height of 24 -feet with the exception of a small gable roof portion at an approximate height of 35 -feet. The gable roof portion is intended to accommodate the height of the new offset press. The Commission questioned whether all utility lines are to be installed underground. The Master Plan identifies the approximate location of electric, cable, gas and telephone lines and indicates that they shall be placed underground. Article XI of the Development Standards also indicates that utility installations are to be underground. The Public Works Department was asked to determine if the design of the proposed access drive onto Highway 1 North would adequately accommodate truck turning movements. For a 36 -foot wide drive with turning tapers, the Public Works Department found the proposed drive to be acceptable mrovided tmedian ovements with utrunningnoverw heaisland (see attached memorandum nand diagram from Joyce DeLong). Public Works also suggested widening the outbound lane of the drive if it is intended to serve as two outbound lanes. The northern (outbound) lane measures approximately 18 -feet wide which is wider than the southern (inbound) lane which is approximately 12 - feet wide. If the northern lane is intended to accommodate two outbound lanes, the Public Works Department indicates that it should be a minimum of 24 -feet wide for a total drive width of 42 -feet. A concern was raised regarding the safety of the proposed access drive onto Highway 1 North. The Traffic Engineer was asked to evaluate the necessity of acceleration/deceleration lanes at the entrance and the 14 feasibility of a left turn lane on the highway to facilitate turning movements into the site. Based upon criteria used by the Iowa Department of Transportation to determine if such improvements are required for new access points on State highways, it was determined that neither type of improvement was warranted at this location at this time. The Resident Maintenance Engineer for IDOT also indicated that anticipated turning movements into the site are too low to warrant a turning lane in the highway. Generally, turning lanes are considered for high traffic generating development such as shopping malls. It needs to be remembered that Highway 1 North is experiencing relatively free flow conditions. Even during peak periods, all highway movements, including thru and turning traffic, are operating with little or no delay. This means that passenger cars or trucks waiting to make a left (cross -lane) turn into the site will be able to do so rather quickly without impeding the flow of traffic on the highway. The access drive possesses excellent sight distance capabilities, in both directions, for ingress and egress movements which minimizes the need for intersection improvements. None of this information would indicate a problem with the proposed access onto the highway. The Commission also requested an evaluation of Dubuque Road as an i alternative access point. The Dubuque Road intersection with the highway does not possess the sight distance capabilities of the proposed access, especially to the south. Shifting access to Dubuque Road will have no effect on the traffic on the highway since all the traffic associated with the Press -Citizen facility will be using Highway 1 in the short run. The site has approximately 367 feet of frontage on Dubuque Road, with much of this frontage along a curve limiting sight distance at any access point on Dubuque Road. In addition, depending upon the access point selected, there could be insufficient stacking capability for cars pulling out onto Dubuque Road which could lead to traffic congestion at the intersection. Another problem associated with a Dubuque Road access concerns the steep draw which separates the site into two portions. The draw measures in excess of 200 feet wide at the top with side slopes in excess of 25 percent. To establish a roadway connecting the proposed building with Dubuque Road would require extensive filling. The roadway would diminish some of the natural character and integrity of the site along this major entryway into the city. i In summation, the proposed access would provide a safe and reasonable entry onto the highway without the need for intersection improvements. The access represents a much better alternative to the Dubuque Road access with limited sight distance capabilities, limited stacking capabilities and diminish a prominent natural feature of the site. The Public Works Department endorses the request that a sanitary sewer be extended north along the alignment of the proposed 20 -foot utility easement to the highway. The sewer is needed to facilitate residential development north of the highway and west of Dubuque Road. The Legal Department has determined that the City may require the extension of the sewer as a condition of the rezoning. As a condition of the rezoning, it must be agreed to by the applicant. A memorandum addressing this issue will be submitted by Dick Boyle. 3 Terry Trueblood, Parks & Recreation Director, indicates that his department has evaluated the proposed development in relation to Hickory Hill Park, and has no objections. The section of the park adjacent to the site is remote, with the proposed development located far from any activity areas.

[lEtSNr TMENT Dear Members: I was present at the last hearing of the Planning and Zoning Commission for the proposed rezoning of land along Highway 1, and was impressed by the careful study the city planners had made of the proposal which not only considered the present beauty of the area, neighborhood impact, and zoning restrictions, but traffic concerns as well. I do believe the rezoning should be approved to allow the Press Citizen to build the attractive plant it has in mind. It is true that this present farmland-will sooner or later lose.its status as farm area and of the two -alternatives mentioned'='office•'park-or'single family dwellings -- certainly the office park concept will preserve better this entry into Iowa City in its rather peaceful state now more than the construction of a mass of single dwelling units which would require more streets and possible entries onto Highway 1. I drive Highway 1 into and out of the city daily at various times and find little entry problems onto the highway except at 7:45 in the morning and once a day at 4:00 o'clock or so when ACT traffic is leaving and is at its peak. The same type of traffic delay occurs daily on Burlington Street across the river. ACT probably has two to three times the number of employess the Press Citizen has and no alarm has been sounded about that. The Press Citizen gave a good indication of the traffic its business would generate which wasn't all that great and would only be slightly significant at one time a day and not at all at night. Housing units would increase traffic at all hours of day and night. Traffic moves along Highway 1 at 45 miles per hour from Interstate 80 to the beginning of Dubuque Road but I have often thought the 45 mile limit should actually start at the intersection of Dubuque road which goes east and west, and perhaps all of the way into town from Interstate 80 which would be a good thing all around. After much though I recommend that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the rezoning to Office Park. Very truly yours, Charles L. Rble 4 ,t? Very truly yours, Charles L.

However, as a person who has been employed in the downtown area, I have experienced difficulty finding adequate parking in this area of town. I have felt for a long time that this Is partly due to the restricted parking around the present Credit Union building, obviously meant to make the grounds around the building more "esthetically pleasing." Perhaps some of the parking crunch which the Credit Union Is concerned with could be alleviated If parking in these spaces and similar ones around other buildings In the area would be reestablished. 1 also would encourage you to consider trying to preserve some of the older neighborhoods in the city.

They are asking to rezone three properties on Iowa Ave. t o expand the drive -up, and parking. I am not in favor of this rezoning. I feel that the Credit Union should think of relocating if they are growing to that extent. They are now prohibiting parking all around their building, and would probable take away more on street parking, and I think we need all of the street parking that is there. I also feel that the existing neighbors need to have the support of the residental climate that now is there. I don't rant to see any more commercial property in our near north (near downtown) area. Residental property is a rare commodity in that neighborhood. Something that needs to be protected. Please vote against rezoning the properties at 15 N. Johnson St., 528 and 530 Iowa Ave. Thank you.

Many fa-milios with children live in this area and have demonstrated coumiit- ment to maintaining the dignity of the neighborhoods.

The desirability of the eastside as a residential area is determined by the ambiance of its major streets. The more older houses that can be maintained the better off the community. There must be other solutions to the Credit Union's parking problems. Decentralization comes to mind as one possibility. There are large areas on the outskirts of the city designed for commercial establishments. This town needs Iowa Avenue as a place where people can live, where there are houses left to be renovated. If the older homes and buildings are removed, they can never be replaced. Please keep this in mind as you make your decision. "rrh1ank yy^oou.,\ for your on . deration Mrty loniat, �,L 1147 E.

More employees might ease their expansion woes rather than additional parking. Many of their petitioners do not live in the neighborhood. Moving three houses to Sand Road does not in any way preserve my neighborhood. It merely saves three buildings.

McCloskey Iowa City, Iowa November 15, 1988 Dear Concerned, This is an open letter to the Iowa City City Council to register my opposition to the proposed expansion of the University of Iowa Credit Union, to include demolition of two houses adjacent to the Credit Union, and construction of a parking lot on the vacant site. I have lived on Iowa Avenue for over a year, and in Woodlawn for one year. I have come to value and appreciate the residential flavor of Iowa Avenue. The removal of the two homes and replacement with a parking lot will forever denigrate the important residential aspect of Iowa Avenue. I fear that in future years, more encroachment will occur, with the Credit Union expansion used as a precedent. Furthermore, a Credit Union expansion will run directly counter to the historical intent of Iowa Avenue, which was to providea residential lane between Woodlawn and the Old Canitol. I hope this letter will help persuade the City Council to vote against the expansion of the Credit Union, and thus preserve the residential integrity of Iowa Avenue.

Dodge St. Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear John: I am writing to you today about an issue that will be acted upon on Nov. 15th concerning the University of Iowa Credit Union. They are asking to rezone three properties on Iowa Ave. t o expand the drive -up, and parking. I am not in favor of this rezoning. I feel that the Credit Union should think of relocating if they are growing to that extent. They are now prohibiting parking all around their building, and would probable take away more on street parking, and I think we need all of the street parking that is there. I also feel that the existing neighbors need to have the support of the residental climate that now is there. I don't want to see any more commercial property in our near north (near downtown) area. Residental property is a rare commodity in that neighborhood. Something that needs to be protected. Please vote against rezoning the properties at 15 N. Johnson St., 528 and 530 Iowa Ave. Thank you.

MAYNARD, AICP, ASLA PLANNING AND DESIGN CONSULTANT 1909 WINSTON DRIVE IOWA CITY, IOWA 52245 November 10, 1988 The Honorable John McDonald, Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Iowa City, Iowa Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Re: Rezoning Request, University of Iowa Community Credit Union Dear Mayor McDonald and Members of the Council: Itisnot oftenthatIfeel compelled to contact you regarding issues _before the City Council. The discussions to date regarding the UICCU rezoning request, however, have caused me to be concerned about the effect the decision in this case may have on the image and long term interests of our community.Before you decide on how you will vote on this very important issue, I encourage you to consider the following:' I. Your vote will be a major determinate of the image the Iowa Avenue approach to the CBD conveys as we enter the 21st century. Before you vote, drive Iowa Avenue slowly from Governor to Gilbert. Look carefully at the wood frame structures along both sides of the street. Is it likely these structures will ever be restored to their original quality and appearance as single family dwellings? Do you want to encourage the continued fragmentation of the frontage in small parcels, minimal expense modifications for multi -person occupancy and marginal maintenance? Can these structures contribute to the image,of_ , Iowa City as a vital, dynamic community in the 21st century? Consider then the new commercial structures in this general area such as the University of Iowa Community Credit Union, the Iowa City Cancer Treatment Center, the offices of Pediatric Associates, and building housing Edward D. Jones & Co, at 480 Iowa Avenue. There will be many more proposals for similar investments and improvements in this area, along Iowa Avenue and north to Market Street. Do they not project the image, through good design, site development, construction and maintenance, that should be encouraged along Iowa Avenue? 2. The area is clearly in transition to Commercial use and has been permitted to evolve beyond the point of return. Between Gilbert and Dodge Streets, are the Iowa Historical Society Building, IDS offices at 422 Iowa Avenue, Legal Services of Iowa and Edward D. Jones & Co. at 480 Iowa Avenue, The UICCU, the Iowa Avenue Building, the Dental Office at 15 N. Van Buren, the James Berry Real Estate Offices, and the Maid -Rite Restaurant. Along Jefferson and Market to the north are several Apartment Structures and several Medical and Dental Offices. The differences between encouraging new, well designed commercial construction and perpetuating piecemeal modification of old frame structures are obvious. The land use trend 14 of/ November 10, 1988 RE: UICCU Rezoning, Page 2 in the area would be difficult to reverse and it is not necessarily desireable for the long term best interests of the community to do so. 4. The situation and condition of the remaining five wood frame residential structures in the 500 block makes them undesireable for continued individual or multi -person occupancy. The lots are too small, the structures are showing signs of deferred maintenance, off street parking is inadequate, their environment is dominated by the two large structures in the block. There is no benefit to the occupants or the community in encouraging the continued residential use of these structures in this location.' 5. When the UICCU was permitted to build its present facility, it was not on the premise that the UICCU would be a stagnant or marginal operation, never requiring additional space. Rather, the expectation was that the UICCU would be a successful, growing organization that would enhance the commercial center of the city. It was and it has. The Community ought not now say: "We don't want you to be successful anymore. If you are going to grow, you will - have to move out!" That is not the way to build a viable, dynamic business contcr and encourage 'lie vital economic development we need now and in the future. 6. The development of the entire north side frontage of Iowa Avenue from Van Buren to Johnson as a unified whole, built to the design, site development and maintenance standards exhibited by the present UICCU facility, is the most preferred and the highest and best use that the community could expect or want and is consistant with the image of vitality and quality the community must project as it enters the 21st century. All of the prior considerations aside, this final point is primary reason to grant the UICCU request and rezone the properties at 528 and 530 Iowa Avenue and at 15 North Johnson to permit expansion of their facilities. You have the opportunity to rezone the properties for a known quantity and standard of quality. The expanded facilities will enhance the appearance of the area. The increased number of employees and the members patronizing the expanded facility will contribute to the vitality of the commercial center of the city. This alternative is far better than fragmented development of the block and piecemeal modification of existing wood structures. The community would be fortunate to achieve similar unified improvements along the other block frontages of Iowa Avenue. I hope you will give these points your most serious and careful �-ccnsideraAion.

When this building was built the city council should have taken into i mind that some day this business was going to grow and would need to expand its facilities. i As a permanent resident of Iowa City, I encourage you to vote yes for rezoning the above properties. 9atri rely,,cia Passmore 1 F 1701 Hwy 1 West SSS Iowa City, Iowa 52246 ! i i 1 V Dear Darrel: I Invest in the future of the community with respect to University -City relationships!

Such rezoning would enable the Credit Union to exercise bids on the properties and expand their services and parking for their present facilities. Since Johnson Street currently acts as a dividing line for rezoning north of the alley, it is reasonable that this rezoning request would keep the division consistent in the block.

While we are not residents of the neighborhood involved, we are members of the Credit Union and wholeheartedly endorse their effort to improve and expand their present facilities. We have watched the Council Meetings and have listened to arguments from citizens against this rezoning request and quite frankly cannot say that we agree with many of the arguments offered. No need to reiterate the arguments, however, some of them include: the Credit Union operates with rules and regulations something different then those governing banks, the safety factor of school children, and then of course the biggie , the historic preservation of the neighborhood. The rules and regulations governing banks as opposed to Credit Unions, in our opinion, offers little or no merit to making a decision on the request. The safety factor to all citizens is a paramount consideration -- keep in mind banking type institutions are not race tracks and likely not much of a threat to anyone's safety. These days, it seems that when all logic fails, bring into the argument some vague ecological or historic preservation argument and certainly someone might have to listen. From the Credit Union East to the end of Iowa Avenue, there are but few single family dwellings and if you really want to preserve the value of the neighborhood, I urge you to cast your vote favorable to the Credit Union's request. DK/mg rely, Y. A�— .David and Su Dear Council Members I am writing in regard to the rezoning of the 500 block of Iowa Avenue. I fully support the University of Iowa Community Credit Union's plan. I feel that they willdo a better service to the property than the renters who have lived at those residences and others in the area. There has been many times that come Sunday and Monday morning there is trash left all over the area from the weekend parties. I can only imagine how they treat the insides of those homes. Alsot the houses do not provide adequate parking for their tenants. Therefore they park at the Credit Unionp limiting parking for the members. For these reasons and more I would hope you would support the rezoning plan. Thank youp Jeri Knipfer 4214 Lakeside Iowa Cityt IA 52240 November 10, 1988 Dear Mr. Courtney: I am writing to you today, about the issue of rezoning the three properties east of the University of Iowa Community Credit Union. This rezoning issue is critical if the credit union would need to expand its drive -up, administrative and parking accommodations. Immediately north of the alley bordering the credit union's property, Johnson St. acts as the dividing line between three different land use zones. To the east however, the zoning line bisects the 500 block of Iowa Avenue. I feel that Johnson St. provides a more logical boundary between commercial and residential zones. Any favorable action on the rezoning of these properties to a commercial zone, would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, ,��C�,Pw Paul D.

F: MAIN OFFICE. 500 IOWA AVENUE, IOWA CITY, IOWA BRANCH OFFICE: 504 FIFTH STRE_i, CORALVILLE, IOWA PUBLIC NOTICE On Tuesday, November 15, 1988, at 7:30 P.M., the Iowa City Council will hold a public hearing on the draft objectives and budget for the use of Community Development Block Grant (COBG) funds in 1989. The City Council will make a final decision on funding at the Council meeting on November 29, 1988. The Committee on Community Needs (CCN) has reviewed all the 1989 requests for CDBG funds and has made a recommendation to the Iowa City Council on the use of those funds. CCN feels that the objectives and budget listed below will best serve Iowa City's community development and housing needs, benefit low and moderate income persons and help to eliminate or prevent slums and blight. STATEMENT.OF OBJECTIVES 1. To preserve, rehabilitate, weatherize and make accessible to elderly, physically disabled and chronically mentally ill persons, older rental and owner -occupied housing units through grants, low interest loans and forgivable loans. 2. To assist physically disabled persons through improved accessibility by installing curb ramps and repairing sidewalks in the City's older neighborhoods, and providing a ramp and playground equipment for handicapped school children. 3. To reduce blight and to provide for the physical, mental and emotion- al well-being of low-income disadvantaged youths and adults through constructive employment in renovating a Youth Services Facility and in targeted riverbank and creekbank conservation efforts. 4. To enhance the physical, mental, educational and emotional well-being of the City's low to moderate income residents by assisting human service agencies in the delivery of supportive services, and by assisting in the development of a daycare and preschool center for economically disadvantaged children. 5. To dispose of City property acquired for Lower Ralston Creek Improve- ments. 6. To efficiently plan for and administer all CDBG activities with special attention to increasing participation of Women and Minority Business Enterprises in the CDBG program.

These regulations implement changes made to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 by congressional amendments in 1978, Development Act of 1987. with 1988 the most regulations ent areHformulated to and Community allow communities to carry out the intent of the act in a manner whichnot only results in the most efficient expenditure of federal funds, but also, in an effective achievement of local goals.

I. NATIONAL OBJECTIVES Although communities may develop their own programs and funding priorit- ies one of the following national objectives must be met. 1. Benefit law and ioderate income fasilies. At least 51% of those benefiting from the CDBG projects must have an annual income at 80% or below the area's median income.

It is hoped that the information enclosed will enhance your review of those funding requests by providing you with additional background regarding the quality of the agencies involved as well as the need for the current proposals. This report contains two sections: (1) the United Way Planning Division's agency rankings from the Joint Coralville/Iowa City/Johnson County/United Way Budget Hearings and (2) a brief narrative concerning each agency and the project for which funding is requested. The United Way Planning Division, which includes both City and County representatives, scored each of the thirty-one presenting agencies on a scale from 1 to 5 (with 5 being best) in three areas: the importance of the services provided, the quality of those services, and the agency's fiscal management. The rankings were based on a 30 minute hearing as well as 20+ pages of budgetary and programmatic information. The attached list is in ranked order based upon a composite of each agency's standing for all aspects of its operation; the agency with the best overall ranking is N1. The agencies' scores for each of the three ranking factors are also shown. The rankings of the four agencies which have submitted proposals for CDBG funding were: Willow Creek Neighborhood Center - first, Elderly Services Agency - sixth, Hillcrest Family Services - twelfth, and Mayor's Youth Employment Program - sixteenth. It is important to remember that the ranking for Hillcrest Family Services was based primarily upon its Iowa City Residence and Supervised Apartment Living Programs rather than the proposed Boarding House Program. For your information, I have attached a copy of the Agency Evaluation Form which was completed by each Planning Division member for each agency. In the narrative section, I have addressed the need for the proposed projects and have also outlined the current position of each agency as a whole, understanding that CCN needs to know the strength of the entire agency in order to judge its ability to carry out the proposal. Willow Creek Neighborhood Center, Elderly Services Agency, Hillcrest Family Services, and Mayor's Youth Employment Program are long-term providers of high-quality care. I have found no reason, either admini- strative or programmatic, for recommending the denial of any of these proposals. Each project would enable an already strong agency to better serve the Iowa City community. 14 7A i of PRECEDING DOCUMENT I J City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: October 28, 1988 To: City Council From: Mary Nuge , Associate Planner Re: HUD Guidelines for Recommending CDBG Projects The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published new regulations for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs on September 6, 1988. These regulations implement changes made to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 by congressional amendments in 1978, 1980, 1981, 1983, and finally, with the most recent Housing and Community Development Act of 1987. The 1988 regulations are formulated to allow communities to carry out the intent of the act in a manner whichnot only results in the most efficient expenditure of federal funds, but also, in an effective achievement of local goals. The following outline is intended to serve as a guide for reviewing the Committee on Community Needs and the CDBG staff's recommendations as well as any of the City Council's preferences for the use of the 1989 CDOG funds.

An activity designed for job creation or retention must involve employment of predominantly low and moderate income persons. 2. Aid in the prevention of slums and blight in designated redevelop- ment or urban renewal areas. The area and activities must meet specific conditions defined by the State or local government. 3. Meet the community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community or other financial resources are not available to meet such needs. II. ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES Activities that can be carried out with CDBG funds include, but are not limited to the following: acquisition of real property; disposition; i clearance and demolition; relocation assistance; rehabilitation of residential and non-residential structures; construction of public `; ', facilities and improvements, such as water and sewer facilities, streets and neighborhood agencies; the provision of public services with in a limit of 15% of the total allocation; energy conservation; historic - preservation; economic development activities; planning and consultant activities and program administration. AT1 must serve a opblic purpose and again meet one of the above national obi ctiv III. INELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES ~ The types of activities that are generally ineligible include: build- ings for general conduct of government; expenses required to carry out the regular responsibilities of the local government, e.g. street maintenance; political activities; income payments, such as housing allowances and mortgage subsidies; new housing construction, except for residential facilities providing shelter for persons with special needs (homeless shelters, convalescent homes, spouse abuse shelters, halfway houses, group homes for mentally retarded); purchase of construction equipment, office equipment, fixtures, motor vehicles, furnishings or other personal property lot an integral structural fixture, is generally ineligible. If the Council has any questions regarding the above HUD requirements or has questions regarding specific projects or programs do not hesitate to call me at 356-5248 or any of the CDBG staff. tp3-4 — 0 w ` A Johnson County Council of Governments _ f ff 4I0E.Mbshirgtcn5.

Each project would enable an already strong agency to better serve the Iowa City community. i /r �� E This year, CCN is again being asked to recommend using 15% (the maximum allowable) of Iowa City's 1989 entitlement funding to support the City of Iowa City's Aid -to -Agencies program. Until FY87, Aid -to -Agencies funding came entirely from General Revenue Sharing. When General Revenue Sharing monies were not available for FY88, Iowa City followed CCN's recommenda- tion and used $93,150 of CDBG funding to replace a portion of the $195,509 Aid -to -Agencies shortfall. This year 15% of CDBG funding ($87,600) is again being used for that purpose. In order to minimize monitoring requirements, CDBG funds are expended for only three agencies. But, CDBG support actually impacts all agencies which are funded through the Aid -to - Agencies Program: Big Brothers/Big Sisters Crisis Intervention Center and Food Bank Domestic Violence Project Elderly Services Agency HACAP Headstart MECCA Mayor's Youth Employment Program Rape Victim Advocacy Program Red Cross United Action for Youth Willow Creek/Mark IV Neighborhood Center Continuation of CDBG funding for the Aid -to -Agencies Program is imperative to enable these agencies to continue to provide their important services to the people of Iowa City. /pct I i/9C AGENCY RANKINGS UNITED NAY PLANNING DIVISION JANUARY 28, 1988 RANKINGS AGENCIES IMPORTANCE QUALITY IN ORDER BY RANKING OF OF FINANCIAL RANKING COMPOSITE COMPOSITE SERVICES SERVICES ISSUES 1.

Elderly Services Agency Request - $6,000 Small Repairs to the Homes of Low/Moderate Income Elderly and Handicaooed Persons The Elderly Services Agency (ESA) has been operating since 1980. It has four programs: I) Chore and Respite Care, 2) Information and Referral/Outreach and Advocacy, 3) Shared Housing/Frail Elderly Program and 4) Housing Repair. ESA has maintained the goal of helping people 60 years of age and older in Johnson County to stay in their own homes as long as possible. During FY88, ESA served a total of 821 Iowa City residents (unduplicated count) through these programs. ESA's funding sources include Iowa City, Johnson County, Coralville, United Nay, State Eldercare, and Title IIIB. The clients of the Housing Repair Program have been primarily low- income, fragile elderly. Moderate -income, extremely fragile elderly persons and non -elderly handicapped individuals have also par- ticipated. In 1988, through September, this program has provided 4 _ clients with housing repair services which included: roof repairs; plumbing and carpentry repairs; repairs to basement walls, chimneys and windows; installation of handrails; and concrete work. All of this was accomplished at a total cost of $1,334.42. Plans are already — finalized for projects which will assist 10 more clients during 1988 and which will expend the $2,665.58 funding still available. ESA is requesting a continuation of this program with funding of $6,000. _ This money will again be used to ensure that elderly and handicapped individuals in Iowa City will be able to live in their own homes free of health hazards. The increased funding requested would enable ESA to do a greater number of small repairs; it is estimated that 20 to 30 households will be served in 1989. The goal of this program is to help elderly and handicapped people maintain their independence in a safe environment. ESA ensures that all housing repairs are low cost — yet adequate to resolve the problem. 2. Hillcrest Family Services Request - $25.000 Remodeling a Boarding House for the Chronically Mentally Ill Hillcrest Family Services is a family service agency which has served eastern Iowa for more than 70 years. Hillcrest's programs include: group homes and supervised apartment living for adults with chronic _ mental illness, counseling, adolescent residential treatment, adoption, family planning, chemical dependency services, and in-home family treatment. The programs offered by Hillcrest in Johnson County serve individuals with chronic mental illness. In 1976, Hillcrest established the Iowa City Residence, a seven bed group home for women with chronic mental illness. In 1983, that facility was _ expanded to fourteen beds and began admitting both women and men. Since 1985, Hillcrest has also operated a Supervised Apartment Living program in Iowa City. This service provides visiting counselors who work with chronically mentally ill individuals who live on their own — ■ 2 in the community. While Hillcrest receives United Way funding for its Johnson County services, the primary support for those programs is purchase -of -service funding through the Department of Human Services. The two basic goals of programs which provide services to persons with chronic mental illness in Iowa City are: 1) to enable those individuals to live successfully in the least restrictive environment and 2) to avoid hospitalization. As community groups have studied the needs of this population in relationship to those goals, problems related to housing are often identified. The most consistently identified housing issue is the lack of different types of housing options. When individuals are served in the hospital or at the Iowa i City residence, they receive 24 hour per day supervision and care. When they are ready to leave those agencies, the only available option for most individuals is to live alone in independent housing with periodic support from a Supervised Apartment Living counselor. However, this transition is too severe for many individuals and often leads to rehospitalization, a serious setback for the clients' iprogress toward independent living. The boarding house in this proposal, with its live-in staff and daily contact with other j J residents, would be an important bridge for many of these clients as they move gradually from receiving 24 hour care to living indepen- dently in the community. 3. Mayor's Youth Employment Program I I Riverfront/Creek Clean-Uo Request - $8,478 Youth Serving Facility Exterior Maintenance Reauest - $7.675 The Mayor's Youth Employment Program (MYEP) was begun in 1968 to Provide employment opportunities to disadvantaged youth in Iowa City and surrounding communities within Johnson County. In FY88, MYEP served 172 Iowa City residents. MYEP's funders include Iowa City, Coralville, Johnson County, United Way, the Iowa City Community School District, the University of Iowa, and the State of Iowa Department of Economic Development. I — In 1983, MYEP expanded its program to include the Iowa Youth Corps Conservation Project, in which youth aged 15 to 18 are randomly selected by the State of Iowa to work on conservation -related _-, projects during six weeks of the summer. Since 1987, MYEP has also included the Iowa Conservation Corps Young Adult Program. MYEP is requesting funds for two Iowa Conservation Corps projects. The Riverfront/Creek Clean -Up Project includes a comprehensive clean-up of Ralston Creek and the Iowa riverbanks at sites selected by the Riverfront Commission. The Youth Serving Facility Exterior Main- tenance Project will enhance the handicapped accessibility at the — building which houses United Action for Youth, the Mayor's Youth /al19i2— glazing Employment gwindowsProgram n ,andconst uction It of includes la impporg- tant ` aspect agencyclients f in this improvingcthiect is buthe ildiirng.

Community Development Block Grant funds will be used for the purchase of materials for these projects, and to match funds provided by the State of Iowa Department of Economic Development for staff wages. The salaries of the young people involved will be paid by the Iowa Youth Corps Conservation Project grant. 4. Willow Creek Neighborhood Center Reaues_ t - $125,000 Cedarwood Neighborhood Center/Headstart In 1973 a group of residents and management from Mark IV apartments approached the University of Iowa's School of Social Work to organize a program to help alleviate problems they were experiencing in the neighborhood. Conditions in that low income neighborhood were poor. Vandalism, juvenile delinquency, disputes among neighbors, and a high incidence of child abuse and police reports contributed to a MarkrIVlDrop-IniCenter waslestablished to enhanof life at the cer then quality of life in the neighborhood t sstes, connecting lowincome ypersons ptogservices, hand encouraging ra sensemof community. During the past 15 years the Center, renamed the Willow Creek Neighborhood Center, has worked to achieve those goals, and conditions at Pheasant Ridge (formerly Mark IV) have improved significantly. Services to the Pheasant Ridge neighborhood include recreational and educational programs for adults and children. The Center distributes food, provides transportation, offers informal counselin vides emer- gencyassistance, visitslpeople omn theire homes,,s�andgdistributes lunches to approximately 150 children during the summer months. The Willow Creek Neighborhood Center is supported by funding from Iowa City, Johnson County, and United Way. In July of 1988, the Willow Creek Neighborhood Center utilized additional Iowa City, Johnson County and United Way funding to initiate a program at the Cedarwood Apartments. Conditions today at the Cedarwood apartment complex resemble the problems at Willow Creek 15 years ago. Child abuse reports and police reports are very high. Both City atment and the Johnson County of Human Iowa Sericesspendadisproportionateamountmeat _ Cedarwood. From 10/1/86 to 9/30/87, 8.3% of all child abuse com- plaints registered in Johnson County were for residents of the 64 units at Cedarwood. Ninety-five percent of the households at Cedarwood are headed by single mothers, and all of the residents are — 14 0*•Z 4 low-income. Many of the women living in the complex have been or are currently victims of abuse. Two neighborhood -based programs have been established at Cedarwood: an Outreach Program and an Abuse Prevention Program. An Outreach _ Worker visits residents in their homes, offers informal counseling and support, refers them to community resources, and plans self- esteem building activities for both children and adults. The Outreach Worker also strives to foster a sense of community in the neighborhood. The Abuse Prevention Program provides support to single mothers by improving their skills as parents and decreasing social isolation. Activities include a parenting support group, a Respite Child Care Cooperative, parenting workshops, and therapeutic workshops for preschool children. The Abuse Prevention Program is funded through grants from the Gannett Foundation and the Iowa Chapter of the National Committee on the Prevention of Child Abuse. The proposed facility would enhance the existing programs by provid- ing a base of operation and would allow the introduction of addi- tional support services. The Neighborhood Center would also serve iother low-income families in that area of Iowa City where there is a high concentration of low-income people who are currently under- served. i J The proposed Neighborhood Center is also planned to house two Headstart classes. Headstart provides both full and part -day developmental care to low-income, handicapped, and protective care 1 children whose parents are working or in training. The attached United Way Planning Division rankings of human service agencies show the HACAP Headstart Program ranked 28th of 31 agencies. A major factor in that low ranking was the decline in ancillary services for HACAP families caused by decreases in federal funding. One service reduction was the elimination of transportation. Until the spring of 1986, HACAP transported children to and from the Headstart Program. When the transportation service had to be eliminated, the difficul- ties faced by low income parents in getting their 3 to 5 year old children to Headstart, their younger children to other daycare facilities, their older children to school, and themselves to work were often insurmountable. It has become clear that the best solution to this problem is to decentralize Headstart by having separate Headstart classrooms in different neighborhoods throughout Iowa City and Coralville. The proposed Center would enable the placement of Headstart classrooms in a neighborhood with many children who are in need of those services. The Willow Creek Neighborhood Center is the local agency with the background and experience to tackle the problems of the Cedarwood Neighborhood. It is very exciting that the agency is willing to accept this challenge. 14 0*•Z City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: October 12, 1988 To: CCN From: �j�,Marianne Milkman, CDBG Program Coordinator Re: Recommendations for 1989 CDBG Funding Attached are the staff recommendations for 1989 CDBG funding. I suspect that they contain no big surprises, but here are our comments and rationale regarding i the allocations. Comments on Staff Recommendations Staff reviewed all projects with an eye to maximizing low -moderate income (LMI) benefit, loans, and the overall benefit to the City. A. Proiects Recommended for Funding 1. Cedarwood Neighborhood Center/Headstart The southeast area of Iowa city (south of Highway 6) has mostly newer multi and single family housing, and is not part of the "403" _ Neighborhood Improvement Area in which CDBG funds have been concentrated J during the past 13 years. As a result few CDBG funds have been allocated to this part of town. However, there is a concentration of LMI households in certain parts of this southeast area, and it is appropriate to provide some assistance with CDBG funds. - Over the past few years attempts have been made to provide neighborhood - based programs for the many single -parent families and Headstart - eligible families in the area. The existing programs, run by the Willow _ Creek Neighborhood Center, need a home. Since CDBG funds are limited, and the proposed Center will also house the Headstart program, staff suggests that $50,000 be allocated on condition that the remainder of the funds can be raised by July 1, 1989. A life lien of $50,000 on the J property is recommended, so that if the property is sold for another _ use, the funds would revert to the City's CDBG or equivalent program. (See Marge Penney's memo which is also in your packet.) Late breaking news: The City is considering a possible land swap of some City -owned land for the project site; land which the City would donate. This will reduce the total CDBG funds recommended for funding this project. 2. Disposition Two Lower Ralston Creek parcels remain to be disposed of. Funds will be used to obtain or update appraisals, prepare abstracts and market the properties. I 9 V1 2 r 3. Housing Rehabilitation This program continues to be the single most successful program in terms of the number of LMI households benefitting directly, as well as the overall impact on the City in improving and maintaining the housing stock. The funds also leverage an additional $93,000 in rental rehab funds, at least $100,000 in private housing rehab monies and between $100,000 and $150,000 in Section 312 housing rehab funds. 4. Elderly Services Agency/Small Repair Program This program, now in its fifth year, fulfills an important function in helping elderly persons remain in their own homes. The increase from $4,000 in 1988 to $6,000 in 1989 is warranted by the waiting list and an ever increasing number of requests for emergency repair that we receive. 5. Hillcrest Family Services Rehabilitation of 728 Bowery St. This is the only case to date where a policy of including residential facilities under our regular comprehensive rehab program has not worked. The conversion of this property to a residential facility for the chronically mentally ill, costs more than the $22,000 maximum permitted — under the rehab program. Some additional funds are available from the Gannett Foundation. Hillcrest plans to raise the other $25,000 needed to complete the project, and is requesting a short-term, no -interest loan of $25,000 from the CDBG program. This housing is desperately needed, and a short-term loan will mean the money will be coming back for reuse in less than five years. (The $22,000 comprehensive rehab loan is in the form of an $11,000, 3%, 15 year loan and an $11,000 life — lien.) 6. MYEP - Completion Exterior Rehab at 410 Iowa Ave. (Youth Works) — Last year $6,800 in CDBG funds was used by the MYEP to scrape and paint the outside of the facility, and to put in some steps and sidewalk. Completion of the project includes glazing and painting of the windows, _ and construction of a sidewalk ramp to improve accessibility. Staff is checking on whether parking lot improvements are eligible items for this project. 7. Curb Ramps and Sidewalks We have combined the ongoing curb ramp project with a specific request for curb ramp and sidewalk improvements on North Dodge Street, 8. Rec. Center Accessibility to Potter's Studio We are recommending funding for just one facility at this time. (Joyce Carroll indicated the potter's studio had top priority,) We would like to see how many of the handicapped population will actually make use of this opportunity prior to funding the whole thing. However, this project will help move the City forward in its goal to make all public facilities accessible to the handicapped, J I 3 9. Hoover School Playground Equipment for the Handicapped We recommended funding only the equipment requested, with monies for constructing a ramp being raised by the PTA. Ramp construction could then perhaps be handled, in part, by volunteer labor, which is something that cannot be done if federal funds are used. B. Projects Not Recommended for Funding 1. MYEP Riverfront/Creek Clean -Up MYEP teenagers can work only on projects on public property. Most of the public portions of the Iowa River and Ralston Creek are in reasonably good shape, however, a proposal for a specific area which is within the "403" area boundaries might change our minds regarding higherfundingpriority enerth nalt'hose elimin tects iing recslums mseandiblightLMI persons have 2. Miller/Orchard Park Acquisition This project is not far enough along for fund allocation at this time. 3. City Park Restroom and Terrell Mill Park Trail A new restroom is obviously needed in lower City Park, however, neither it nor the handicapped trail have a high priority for funding with CDBG funds at this time, especially since we are already recommending three "barrier removal" projects for funding. 4. Jobs Plus Unlimited This project which could potentially assist LMI persons in getting jobs, is not eligible for funding under the new CDBG regulations. 5. Before and After School Program This program is a public service and as such falls under the 15% fund limit which Council allocates for "Aid to Agencies". The project would also require considerable LMI documentation prior to funding. MH/sp /G fZ N /G 7Z N q 10/7/88 i STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 1989 CDBG FUNDS ;i ro'ects Estimated Cost 1.

Kubby noted there are also administrative costs. Kubby reviewed the time schedule for the 1989 CDBG Program Statement preparation. Milkman stated that CCN makes recommendations to City Council; however, the City Council makes the final decisions regarding the CDBG allocations. Kubby explained that CCN members will individually rate the proposals with a high, medium or low priority, a numerical value is established for each level of priority, and overall priority rankings are compiled. Kubby said there are more applications for funds and fewer dollars available for applications. 14 PO2. I MINUTES COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY NEEDS — TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1988 - 3:00 P.M.

I MINUTES " COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY NEEDS SEPTEMBER 27, 1988 PAGE 2 HOOVER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HANDICAPPED PLAYGROUND $5,600: Guerrin Thompson and Judy Cilek represented Hoover Elementary School. Thompson asked CCN to consider the Hoover Elementary School proposal. Thompson said 393 children attend Hoover Elementary School, there are four classes of handicapped students, and Hoover Elementary School was not designed for handicapped students. Thompson stated the two-level playground presents a problem for children that are not totally ambulatory. The easily accessible upper area has only blacktop and most of the play equipment is located on the lower level. Thompson requested funding for a ramp,a wheelchair glider swing, and a slide built on a hill. Thompson said that School District funds are being spent on programs and money is being solicited from PTA and other organizations for playground equipment. Thompson explained Mike and Judy Cilek, parent - representatives of the Handicapped Hoover Playground Committee, have prepared a letter requesting community contributions and support for the — project. Thompson said he could report to CCN at their October 18th meeting regarding how much money has been received in contributions for the project. In response to Patrick, Thompson said all playground equipment was moved to the lower level of the playground. Cooper asked what professional services were provided by Ann Riley. Thompson said Ann Riley provided an — estimated $50 of in-kind consultation on the types of equipment needed. Ruff asked if the disabled population will increase. Thompson stated that the handicapped equipment will make the playground a more attractive place to play and other handicapped children in the area would make use of the facility. Cilek noted three Systems homes are located in the area. - Thompson said it is impossible to predict the number of handicapped students that will use the equipment in the future. Kubby asked Ruff to research if curb ramps existed in the area. Milkman inquired about the estimated 275 people to benefit by the project. Thompson stated non - handicapped children are also going to use the handicapped equipment. - Starr asked if a special surface will be needed around the swing area. Thompson said currently the surface is dirt and the PTA will be asked to work on resurfacing. Becker asked how many handicapped children will use the equipment. Thompson and Cilek reported there are 25 handicapped Hoover children, two handicapped neighborhood kids and 16 Systems — residents, some of whom are children. In response to Kubby, Thompson said building only the ramp would still be helpful even if the equipment were not immediately available. Becker asked what the Iowa City Community School District will contribute. Thompson said the Iowa City Community School District will furnish labor for installation of the ramp and equipment. ELDERLY SERVICES AGENCY SMALL REPAIR PROJECT $6,000: Jean Snow presented information about the ESA's Small Repair Project. _ Snow stated this program is for small repairs, the program is highly successful, and a construction consultant has been hired to size up what repairs need to be done. Snow stated Doris Walden, a 67 year old woman with 40 years construction experience, was hired as the construction consultant. Snow said Walden has been able to contact small contractors to get work done. Snow said primary criterion of the program is safety. �G9x,,,..., MINUTES COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY NEEDS SEPTEMBER 27, 1988 PAGE 3 Kubby asked if there is a waiting list for repairs to be done. Snow said yes. Cooper asked if there is an emphasis to hire women and minority contractors. Snow said ESA is sensitive to finding women and minority contractors. Phyllis Kilpatrick said there have been difficulties in _ obtaining the lowest bids from minority contractors. NORTH DODGE STREET ACCESSIBILITY PROJECT - NO AMOUNT DESIGNATED: _ Carol Thompson and Evert Connor presented information regarding funding requests for sidewalk and curb cut repairs. Connor stated he met with City staff to show them places on North Dodge Street where sidewalks and curb ramps are not acceptable to wheelchairs. Thompson said there are people who drive their wheelchairs on the street because sidewalks are not suitable for wheelchairs. Connor asked that people associated with Systems houses check their areas for wheelchair suitability. Tom Ziskosky explained he cannot take his wheelchair on many of the sidewalks between Ecumenical Towers (where he lives) and Eagle's Grocery. Thompson said there are many curb cuts that are badly designed. Thompson noted a curb located on the corner of Prairie du Chien and Dodge Street owangles wheelchairs ners re responsible t fortheir sidewao the lks. Thompson asked CCN imembersrtoy repairconsider subsidizing sand to inspect dectcurb cusidewalk ts. Connor for homeowners askedwhoho cannot afford the is responsible for alley repairs. Milkman said the City Public works handles alley repairs. Thompson noted that subsidized funds are available for a job for Connor. Thompson recommended that the City hire Connor to be a sidewalk inspector. Nugent said not only the City, but private contractors and utility companies install curb cuts. Rockwell explained there is a committee that _i prioritizes areas for curb cuts and someone is needed to inspect sidewalks and curb ramps in the 403 (neighborhood improvement) area. Milkman said the areasity for has been curb cuts�oncCCNrmembnrsnaccess and stafftdiscussedarks ntheuneed forublic icuro cut inspection. Ruff noted a new curb cut was recently installed at Old Capitol. Starr stated bushes sometimes also make it difficult for j sidewalk passage by wheelchair. MOUSING REHABILITATION - $300,000: Pam Barnes stated that the City of Iowa City has had an ongoing housing _ rehabilitation program since 1973; currently the program involves depreciating liens, life liens, and loans, and $300,000 is being requesterams. arnes referredd. Barnes to Exhibit Adistributed fu dingbrochures requestabout pplication rad explained that the weatherization loan was increased and the paint program reduced because of expected needs. Kubby referred to Milkman's September 21, 1988, memo regarding 1989 CDBG fund allocations and asked if the $39,000 for the rental rehab administration is included in the request. Milkman explained the $39,000 was a typographical error and it should read $93,000. Milkman explained that administrative expenses that come out of the $300,000 allocated to housing rehabilitation, are used to administer CDBG monies, $93,000 of rental rehab funds, and $136,000 of Section 312 Rehabilitation funds. In response to Kubby, Milkman stated that /v 0"F12, MINUTES COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY NEEDS SEPTEMBER 27, 1988 PAGE 4 approximately 200 people directly benefitted from last year's Housing Rehab Program. �CC�nT..l.... ._. Phyllis Kilpatrick stated that the request is for $2,500ufor library supplies, recruiting, workshops, and extra training for low-income minority/women contractors. In response to Becker, Kilpatrick stated that three people received assistance in obtaining insurance and from the program. She explained that the City sponsored three workshops during the last year. One of these workshops was very well attended, the others had lower attendance. CCN members and staff discussed the need recruitment and scheduling of workshops. for _ CURB RAMP INSTA ATIO4 ca rnn.

Milkman further explained that the rule related to anything that is federally funded shoud not discriminate against handicapped persons. In response to Rawland, Rockwell stated $5,500 would need to be increased to include sidewalk repair. Rockwell stated there needs to be a map demonstrating where curb ramps are located within Iowa City. Milkman asked CCN members to consider the issue of having an expanded sidewalk program. Milkman noted that staff has in the past studied a sidewalk program that would provide that households who cannot afford to pay the assessment for sidewalk repairs could be subsidized, and found such a program cost prohibitive because of the amount of staff time that would be needed to verify incomes and other paperwork. Kubby asked that Hulse staff prepare information about the total cost for the sidewalk repairs.

In response to Starr, Barnes stated repair of sidewalks could be done in In with other rehabilitation programs through the Housing Rehabilitation program. MAYOR'S YOUTH EMPi OYMENT PRnr1iaMion1rorn,,.,. . _....._ Peg McElroy presented information regarding riverfront clean-up funding requests. McElroy said the best project done by Mayor's Youth Employment _ has been the Ralston Creek project which was funded last year, and a labor intensive project is important to the overall success of the Iowa Conservation Corps. McElroy said creek clean-up and riverfront clean-up is proposed involving priority areas established by the Riverfront Commission; this proposal would involve Teenage Conservation Corps; and the Iowa Conservation Corps Praject would be used in conjunction with CDBG _ /b 9.2 MINUTES COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY NEEDS SEPTEMBER 27, 1988 PAGE 5 funds. Patrick asked if more work is planned for the Ralston Creek Project. McElroy said the final phase of planting is being finished, bank stabilization work will continue, and weeding and overall maintenance will continue. Patrick urged that the entire Ralston Creek be cleaned. McElroy said Mayor's Youth Employment work is restricted to working on public lands. Cooper asked how the $8,438 budget figure was formulated. McElroy said that amount would serve as a match to the State Conservation Corps Grant. MAYOR'S YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM/"YOUTH WORKS" PROJECT $7,675: McElroy stated that the proposed project involves the Young Adult Conservation Corps which uses youth during the summer. The project will complete exterior maintenance or renovation on the 410 Iowa Avenue Youth Works facility. The Phase II Project will focus on landscaping and completing the ramp and sidewalk projects. Unless Federal approval comes through the for a designated Trainee Program, only 18 year olds will be used for Phase II. Committee members complimented Mayor's Youth on the work frm the Department of Instruct Instructional Design, and Patti tWestercamp, from, r mKristKissel�theoCity's Graphic Design Department, worked to select the color scheme.

In response to Milkman, McElroy said that this proposal proposes to modify the existing handicapped accessibility to make it more convenient. Milkman said that new CDBG regulations have just come out and some of the eligibility requirements have changed. The landscaping in the Phase II Project may not be eligible under the new regulations. CCN will receive information on the exact eligibility. McElroy thanked CCN members and staff members for their assistance in the past. PARKS AND RECREATION PROJECT/REC CENTER DARK ROOM AND POTTER'S STUDIO - 13 650: Joyce Carroll explained the funding proposal is similar to last year's unfilled funding request for handicapped accessibility for the Rec Centers potters studio and dark room. In response to Hulse, Carroll said that the Special Populations Involvement Program supervisor estimates that about 300 people in her program might use the modified facilities, including both wheelchair and non -wheelchair participants. In response to Kubby, Carroll said that the potter's studio is requested more than the dark room. Carroll said she will provide separate figures on the cost for the dark room and the potter's studio project. In response to Cooper, Carroll said the wheelchairs cannot get into the rooms and the absence of electric potter's wheels make the studio unusable by many of the physically disabled. Milkman said the CDBG regulations state that funds cannot be used for mobile equipment because it could be too easily relocated. Milkman said that possibly a waiver could be requested since special populations will require mobile equipment to meet their needs. Carroll explained that the potter's studio work will cost $6,500-57,000 plus about $1,000 per wheel. If CCN would fund the cost of widening the doorways, the Rec Department could seek other funding sources for the wheels. MINUTES COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY NEEDS SEPTEMBER 27, 1988 PAGE 6 - PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT/MILLER ORCHARD PARK ACQUISITION PROJECT- $50,000: ROJECT- — 55 0,000: Terry Trueblood said that the proposed park site is currently being _ appraised. The project is still a priority for the Parks & Recreation Commission. The Parkland Acquisition Fund is a possible source for assisted funding with City Council approval. Trueblood said that a reasonable estimate for the CDBG portion of the funding is $50,000 with — another $50,000 from the City. In response to Rawland, Trueblood said that the estimated funds probably would only buy a portion of the parcel. Karen Hradek, Chair of the Miller/Orchard Neighborhood Committee, stated _ that the area served by the proposed park has a population of approximately 670 people and 320 homes. That area includes elderly, handicapped, single parent families and families starting with their first home, with average income in the low to moderate range. Hradek explained — that four to five years ago, a survey of homes showed that a top priority, withoutexception, was a park for the area. In response to Becker, Hradek said that City Manager Steve Atkins is planning to negotiate with Charlie Ruppert, the owner of the property proposed for the park. She also noted that some State laws have changed that should help with acquisition. Milkman said that a new appraisal might be more favorable and that the adjacent commercial land affected the last appraisal. In response to — Hulse, Milkman said the land is currently zoned RS -8. Milkman said that if only a portion is taken for the park, the remainder would still be usable. In response to Hulse, Hradek said that once the land is acquired, the City would develop it into a park with the neighborhood possibly donating equipment or money. - PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT PROJECT/CITY PARK RESTROOM - $63,000: Trueblood stated that he was presenting the same request as last year. In response to Patrick, Trueblood said the $63,000 would provide an additional restroom, centrally located among the shelters. In response to Becker, Trueblood said that the new restroom would be handicapped accessible. The only park restrooms currently handicapped accessible are in upper City Park. PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT PROJECT/TERRILL MILL PARK ACCESSIBILITY TRAIL - 53.500: Trueblood stated that this was also a repeat of last year's request. In response to Milkman, Trueblood said that he doesn't have usage figures for Terrill Mill Park. When the project started two years ago, it was going to be a Mayor's Youth project. The Riverfront Commission also supports the project. Trueblood stated that it is estimated that the handicapped access trail would be used about 6,500 times each summer by elderly, disabled and other residents of the area.

CLEMENTS STREET DESIGNATION: Paul Kavanaugh asked CCN members to recommend that City Council designate St. Clements Street as a Rental Rehab Program target area. Kavanaugh surveyed the neighborhood and found that 14 of the 17 households fit into guidelines for lower income families. Kubby asked if money is available from the Rental Rehab Program. Milkman explained that St. Clements Street is in the City's 403 area, an area targeted for CDBG renewal and rehab. Milkman said St. Clements Street is not eligible for rental rehab because the Rental Rehab Program designates area by using census tract data and over 51% of the residents in the census tract have to be low- to moderate - income. Milkman said St. Clements Street is within a large census tract that includes many higher income residents. Milkman said a survey can be done of the residents on St. Clements Street. In response to Kubby, Kavanaugh said St. Clements Street is isolated. Moved by Becker, seconded by Kuhn, to recommend to City Council that St. Clements Street he unanimously.

Vandenberg presented a plan of the proposed building. The proposed building would include two classrooms, three offices, a meeting room, work room and kitchen and would be handicapped accessible. Kuhn asked if Headstart would be able to fund part of the project. Lloyd Gehring stated that Headstart guidelines provide that rent or mortgage cannot be paid, but ongoing costs such as maintenance and utilities could be shared. In response to Patrick, Vandenberg said Willowcreek Neighborhood Center and HACAP/Headstart would use the proposed facility Jointly. Vandenberg said the Pheasant Ridge Center would remain open. Nugent inquired about staffing the proposed facility. Vandenberg said Cedarwood programs utilizes one part-time outreach worker, one part-time Abuse Prevention Program Coordinator, two child advocates, and volunteers. Vandenberg said additional staff needs would depend upon how many new people would use the facility. Gehring reviewed the needs of the _ Headstart Program. Gehring emphasized the need for a facility for an extended hour care. Ruff asked if any other sources of revenues have been investigated. Vandenberg said she has been in contact with labor union locals and will seek in-kind donations. Vandenberg said the Ecumenical Council has made the Cedarwood program a priority. Kubby inquired about the special exception request to the Board of Adjustment. Vandenberg said the property they have in mind would need to be rezoned. Milkman asked if Headstart or the Neighborhood Center would be able to repay a loan. Vandenberg said she would need to request funds from City, County or United Way to repay a loan.

Milkman said if CCN recommended $40,000-$50,000 for the proposed facility, there would need to be commitments from other sources to complete the project. Hanick noted that the United Action for Youth building is an example of how CDBG funds — used with private funds benefit the community. MINUTES COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY NEEDS _ SEPTEMBER 28, 1988 PAGE 3 JOBS PLUS UNLIMITED $16,290: Rick Collins and Sanetta Jackson presented information about their funding request. Collins said funds are being requested for a transition careers assistance program to assist law- and moderate -income persons in their career and job searches.

BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM RESOURCES (GASP RESOURCES) tin o00• CCN reviewed an application received from Mary Richards for the BASP - Resources. Richards said the program serves school -aged children with more than 51% of the children from low- to moderate -income families. Richards stated the grant proposalcom bines resources from Community Coordinated Child Care Services (4 -C's) and the BASP Resources. These programs are independent programs operated by parent boards and are not run or supported by the Iowa City School District. Richards reported the Department of Economic Development (DED) gives only 20 state child care grants and 4 -C's and GASP Resources received a successful application from the DED. Richards reviewed information outlined in the funding request. Richards stated BASP Resources serves as a major child care resource in the Iowa City Community Schools, but there are still four schools without a child care program. Richards stated the proposal is to increase the program that exists. Richards said although she was a hired as a quarter - time administrator, she works an average of 8.4 hours per day on the program. Becker asked who was eligible to use the program. Richards said children ages kindergarten to sixth grade of any income can use the program and pay tuition for the program. Richards said an increase in tuition would be difficult for some parents. Kubby asked if all children are considered 100 percent eligible for CDBG funding. Milkman said no, wouldfamilies explained that, naccording etol census data igini the Hori ce iMann Districts MINUTES — COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY NEEDS SEPTEMBER 28, 1988 PAGE 4 — 75.84% of the families meet low- to moderate -income guidelines; in the Shimek School District, 57%, and Roosevelt, 66.69%.. Richards reported _ some of the requested funds are to equip the school -aged component of the toy lending library. The toy lending library currently serves student families, low-income families, daycare providers, daycare enters, preschools and the child care project at CEC. Kubby inquired about the — amount budgeted for professional services. Richards explained the budget breakdown includes start-up costs for three programs - three administrative positions x $800 - $2,400 that would be held in reserve to _ start up those programs. Kubby asked what happens in future years if the programs are funded. Richards said BASP Resources can apply twice more to the Department of Economic Development and support can be sought from employer sponsorship, grants, DHS, Children's Agenda Committee, various — community resources, and annual enrollment fees. Richards said she pays _ $85 tuition per child to use BASP Resources. Marge Penney inquired about a sliding fee scale and the availability to handicapped children. Richards said she only knows about one school utilizing a sliding fee scale and programs are staffed on a 1 to 15 ratio which is not sufficient - to serve handicapped children. HILLCREST RENOVATION - $25.000: CCN reviewed funding requests. Milkman said this funding request resulted _ from a change made last year that provided that any human service agency residential facility would be considered a regular housing rehab project, and the maximum funding would be $22,000. This has been fine in every case except this one. Craig Mosher proposed remodeling a boarding house for chronically mentally ill persons. A Gannett Foundation Grant allowed Hillcrest Family Services to purchase a house and increase support staff. Mosher said funds are needed to complete remodeling of the house. Mosher explained this facility would serve as an intermediate facility between the group home experience and apartment living. The house will be occupied by chronically mentally ill persons who will pay their own room _ and board costs and will be supervised by a councilor living in the house. Mosher reviewed remodeling costs as outlined in the funding request _ application. In response to questions, Mosher said it will costs persons an estimated $250 per month for room and board. Mosher said the house is a four -level building with a three-bedroom apartment in the basement and nine people will live in the house. — LANNING AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT - $12.000: Nugent explained next year's work will include a rental survey and analysis and development of a program to assist first-time low- to moderate -income homeowners entering the homeownership market. The rental _ survey is utilized by HUD, the Housing Assistance Plan, and rental assistance program. Kubby asked what the other contracted services are. Nugent said the amount includes contracting the services of the Department of Political Science to assist with carrying out the rental survey and analysis. A software program has been designed whereby respondents' information is directly entered into a computer, thus eliminating a lot of manual calculations. She added that staff would prepare a report from the data analysis. 9Z MINUTES COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY NEEDS SEPTEMBER 28, 1988 PAGE 5 DISPOSITION - $3.000: Milkman said one parcel of Lower Ralston Creek has been sold, but two parcels remain to be sold. Milkman said Benjamin Chait's project with Regina Elementary School has fallen through. In response to Kubby, Milkman said the appraisals need to be done again and access to Parcel C needs to be studied. Milkman said all of the budgeted $3,000 might not be needed. Milkman said a number of the parcels were combined, some of the parcels were used to widen the creek and now a new abstract is needed for each new combined parcel. Kubby asked if disposition money left over from last year was included the $50,000 of carryover. Milkman said yes. Rawland asked which parcel is being held until use of Regina Elementary School has been decided upon. Milkman said the Linn/Harrison Street corner. GENERAL PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION - $105,250: Milkman said there is a five percent increase from the last two years. Kubby asked what percentage of the overall CDBG funds is used for administrative budget. Milkman said the administrative budget includes planning and program development and is less than 20 percent of the overall CDBG funds. Milkman said the maximum allowable for administration Is approximately $130,000. Milkman noted there were changes in staffing and director's time is budgeted at 20 percent. Kubby said David Leshtz asked what the Director does for the program. Milkman stated Schmeiser meets with her one and a half hours each week, discusses program activities with the City Manager, reviews and signs all check requests larger than $1,000, and, as department head, oversees the whole CDBG Division. Kubby said Leshtz suggested Schmeiser be invited to attend CCN meetings and public hearings. Kubby inquired about staffing changes. Rockwell said she is working on the Low -Income Housing Program, organizing data from the exterior housing and first-time home -buyers surveys, etc. Rockwell said some of her time has shifted from project work to planning work. Milkman said the Low -Income Housing programs take a lot of time and research. Milkman said projects seem to be more complicated and time- consuming these days, partly due to added Federal regulations. Kubby reminded CCN members that the next meeting is scheduled for October 18, 1988, at 3:00 p.m. Staff and CCN members briefly discussed the rating process.

QUESTIONS/DISCUSSIONS. CCN members reviewed each of the proposals as follows: — CEDARWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER/HEADSTART. Cooper asked if the land for the building had been purchased. VandenBerg stated the land had not been purchased and the estimated cost of the land is approximately $36,000. Kubby asked if money is available from Headstart for capital expenditures. Lloyd Gehring stated HACAP can only commit to operating funds. Kubby requested updates regarding land acquisition. Milkman stated there is a possibility for the City to trade City -awned property for property owned by Mace Braverman, then donating that property for the Cedarwood project. Milkman asked VandenBerg if additional sources of funding have been found. VandenBerg said she has identified seven foundations that have funds available for buildings such as the proposed project. Milkman asked what the increased operational cost for Wiliowcreek would be. VandenBerg explained $2,000 extra is needed for utilities and she is applying for State grant monies to fund staffing needs. VandenBerg reported that HUD rejected the proposal to allow Cedarwood to utilize one apartment for a neighborhood center. HUD stated that Section 8 monies cannot be used to subsidize uses other than rental housing. VandenBerg said that an option is that an apartment could be obtained if they pay $5,000 per year rent. MILLER/ORCHARD PARK. Cooper asked what the land would cost. Schmeiser explained the appraisal is close to completion and the appraisal will be more than originally anticipated. Milkman said the land will be appraised at greater than $100,000. Kubby asked if the project could be completed this year if funds became available. Schmeiser said timing of the project would depend upon if the property would need to be condemned. DISPOSITION. No questions. RIVERFRONT/RALSTON CREEK CLEAN-UP - MAYOR'S YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM. In response to Milkman, McElroy stated a Riverfront Commission subcommittee has been formed to identify areas for clean-up. Milkman asked if there are enough public areas that would require clean-up.

Ruff recommended to combine the Curb Ramp proposal with the North Dodge — Street sidewalk proposal and that $6,000 be used for curb ramp installation and $1,000 be used for sidewalk repair. Rockwell suggested that a person be hired to prepare a map demonstrating where all the existing curb ramps are located. Rockwell also noted that $1,000 would pay for 20 squares of sidewalk to be replaced. Kubby raised concerns that $1,000 would not be enough for sidewalk repair.

Include time schedule, amount of volunteer or staff time needed, and other pertinent data about the activities. Indicate if L the Project will require the cooperation of other City departments and, if so, whether they have been contacted. Housing Rehabilitation has been a continuing CDBG project since 1976. There are five programs which will be available for low-income, single family, owner occupied homes in need of repair. Two additional programs (Item 6 & 7) are also ad- L ministered by the CDBG staff. The rehabilitation staff consists of 2 housing rehabili- tation officers (construction specialists) and a half-time financial specialist. 1. Comprehensive Rehab. - Various loan terms available, or depreciating lien/life lien.'I — This can be a second mortgage where homeowners can borrow up to $22,000.00. 2. Weatherization Pro ram - This loan is secured by a Life Lien or Promissory Note L where one can borrow 2,500.00 for 5 years. 3. Painting/Siding Loan Program - Loan terms are based on income. Loan amount based on size of house. Maximum amount is $5,000.00. 4. Residential Accessibility Grant Program - Maximum amount of Grant is $5,000.00. I, Grant provides assistance in making homes barrier free for a special population. 5. Emergency Repair - This involves correction of a major violation of the housing (- code which would make the structure uninhabitable. If amount needed is less than $1,000, then it is a direct grant. If over $1,000 to $3,000 maximum, a life lien is used. `I 6. Administration of Rental Rehab. Program - The current program provides up to 50% of the cost of rehab. in the form of a deferred payment loan. The City's grant for 1988 is $93,000. Maximum loan per unit ranges from $5,000.00 for an efficiency to $8,500.00 for a 3 -bedroom or larger unit. 7. Administration of Section 312 Loans - These are funds that are available from the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development to homeowners in the form of low-interest loans. The City acts as escrow agent and supervises the construction. In 1988 we have processed $136,000 of construction. :I .I, T T 1 Qcheck if continued on additional page(s) and attach /G fo:L ------------------------- 17.

List Other Groups and Organizations Which Were Asked to Contribute to or Fund Project- Aging Studies, Social Work and Newman Center students act as volunteers to provide links to elderly clients for this project. The "Senior Center Post" provides media coverage (reaching 7000 elderly). -14. why is this Project Needed? to help elderly people remain safe and comfortable in their homes. 40% of the people in nursing homes are there not because they need that level of care, but because they couldn't solve the problems of remaining independent in their homes. One of those problems is home maintenance, particularly since elderly people tend to live in homes that are 0lder 150% live in structures built before 1939). Older people sometimes do not hav -i the energy, physical agility, financial resources or the know -how necessary to cope with the kinds of problems associated with maintaining the safety of a home. Our program is meant to be a back-up for the things that the Residential Accessibility, Housing Rehabilitation and ESA chore program cannot do for low/moderate income elderly/handicapped. The proposed prograry employs low/moderate income workers. The professional construction consultant is over 65 _ and very low income, and the contractors tendto be people just getting started in the busines or without steady work who therefanhcVeclo/modeconcatuednonmaaditional page(s) and attach 15.

(2) Identify competent, reliable low/moderate income construction workers who will make low-cost repairs of good quality. (3) Hire a Construction Consultant with a proven record of work in Johnson County who will draw up the specifications, screen the applicants for the construction work, monitor their performance, check the quality of the work J at the end of the job and keep the necessary records accordin0 to the manual published by the CDOG Program administration. •^ w 1 16 Explain how goals will be accomplished.

They make low-cost repairs of good quality in part because ofpthe-time supervision and assessment of our Construction Consultant, whom they must satisfy in order to be paid. She will begin work in January. Goal 3: We have had Doris Walden as our Construction Consultant for the last two years, and she has agreed to continue her work. Her wage is $8.50 an hour and she works between 75 and I 1Do hours on this project. She inspects the job to be done, draws up detailed specifications I= for the work, solicits bids from area constractors, screens the bids, contacts the homeowner with the name of the successful bidder, arranges for the work to be done, monitors the work and inspects it upon completion to be sure it filled the original specifications. The program time -line begins in the early spring, as soon as the project has been approved. t Bidders for the construction work will be required to file an application, to have their _ qualifyces forcemployment, to have an provideinterview h if the Construction for personal injury/loss/damages, etc.. All elderly/handicapped applicants for home repair will be required to furnish proof of ownership of their home and a certified statement of earnings or a copy of a bank statement from recent months. Relevant city departments have been contacted. Examples of the kinds of jobs this program completed during the last year include: small roof repairs, repairs to basement walls, chimneys, sidewalks, steps and railings, soffits, j shower enclosures, rotten window frames and broken windows, and installing screens. 0 check if continued on additional page(s) and attach r 17. Will Project Be Continued After Community Developmen_ Block Grant Funding? •. :� 1f Yes, what source(s) Of fundingdo you propose to use. The Johnson County Subsidized Chore Program, which is administered through ESA, is the one place where we could find funding to do small home repairs for elderly/handicapped people. The only problem with this program is that it must cover all other subsidized chores before money can be released for repairs. However, every year, the Johnson County Health Department accepts our proposal to provide subsidized services to the low-income elderly (earning up to $900 a month) on a sliding scale (so that people with less than $400 a month get the services free and those between $401 and $900 pay about 50t for every $50). If we can show that the elderly/handicapped person is incapable of performing the necessary repairs, qualifies financially, and has no one available to perform the task, then we can use this mane., to pay for the labor required for the job. The cost of materials would be sought from either private donations.to ESA, through the churches, or through money donated to United Way. In. critical cases, the Emergency Repair fund through the CDBG programs might provide dollars as well.

The lack of curb ramps at street and sidewalk intersections makes it difficult for individuals with physical disabilities to gain access to many of the City's public and private facilities. During the past three years, the CCN Curb Ramp Committee has identified a network of curb ramp sites to increase accessability to parks and shopping facilities, and 53 curb ramps have been constructed. This request for funds is to continue the 1986 - 1988 projects to install approximately 12 additional curb ramps throughout the City as recommended by the CCN Curb Ramp Committee. 0 check if continued on additional page(s) and attach 15.

However, ramps do not exist in older neighborhoods within the City. Additional CDBG assistance is requested to aid in the effort to link sidewalks within those neighborhoods with the network of accessible walks in the newer areas of the City. This project is envisioned as one phase in an effort to make the City's network of sidewalks more accessible to all our community's residents. n.

Concerning the 1989 application, there has been a difference of opinion as to whether the request for funds should remain at $5,000 or be increased to $6,000. As a consequence, I have entered a requested amount of $5,500 on the - application. Please feel free to state your funding level preference at the CCN meeting at the end of this month. Frank Farmer, City Engineer, has expressed the continued support of the City — Public Works Department for the curb ramp project. However, Farmer strongly recommends that the entire project be contracted out rather than splitting the construction of the curb ramps between a private contractor and the City — Streets Division.

The following are the deficiencies we observed in that pedestrian route: 905 N. Dodge - Sidewalk replacement needed. 831 N. Dodge - Driveway eroded, caving in. 827 & 829 N. Dodge - Sidewalk replacement needed. 821 N. Dodge - Three sections of sidewalk need replacement. 815 N. Dodge - Removal of rock and mud build-up on sidewalk is needed. Intersection: Brown & Dodge - Curb ramps at southwest and northwest corners - approaches need smoothing, drops are too abrupt. Alley: From N. Dodge to Johnson, between Brown and Ronalds (west side) - needs smoothing, replacement of rough, cracked asphalt overlay. Intersection: Ronalds & Dodge - NW curb ramp - hard bump, needs smoother entry. 631 Dodge - Sidewalk replacement on SE part of lot (20 sections). Concerning a pedestrian route between the Systems Home and the N. Dodge Hy -Vee, Evert Conner pointed out that curb cuts at Prairie du Chien and N.

DEPARTMENT September 1, 1988 PHONE NUMBER 319 F356-6050 TERRY E.BRANSTAD GOVERNOR Michael V. Reagan. Pi Z) Commissioner I am writing in support of Evert Conner's request that CDBG funds be used for sidewalk repairs. Every disabled person I know seems to have an example of needed sidewalk repairs. I have come to believe that Evert is correct in his statement that we provide a better surface for cars to travel on than we provide for wheelchairs and pedestrians. Smooth sidewalks are not only important to those in wheelchairs but to blind and elderly people who have to be careful of tripping. Mr. Conner's specific need is for a better surface between the Eagle store and Hy Vee - Drugtown on North Dodge Street. His household consists of five people in wheelchairs at 919 North Dodge, several of whom would appreciate being able to shop independently. Recently, I walked with Mr. Conner from his home to the Hy Vee store. The surface is rough, with many potholes and broken places. The curb -cut at the southwest corner of Dodge and Prairie du Chien is especially dangerous. If a wheelchair driver were unable to stop there, the incline would project him/her into the traffic lane on North Dodge --going the wrong way! Mr. Conner chooses to detour rather than take the risk. I know the homeowners are assessed for sidewalk repairs and that some of the property owners on North Dodge Street might object to the cost. Could CDBG funds be used to make the repairs or to subsidize the cost for low-income homeowners? Mr. Conner and I would appreciate a chance to discuss our concerns with your committee if you will schedule your meeting when the SEATS buses are running so he can get there. Sincerely, �!

The South East quadrant of Iowa City has the largest number of Headstart eligible families. Completion of this project would provide a permanent facility for providing Headstart services at a location which would eliminate or reduce transportation difficulties faced by a majority of the participants.

Many of the women have been or are currently in abusive relationships. The Iowa City Police Department receives a disproportionate number of calls from the — complex, particularly reports of offenses against the family, assaults and missing persons. From October 1, 1986 to September 30, 1987, close to ten per cent of all child abuse reports made in Johnson county came from the sixty-four units at Cedarwood. The Willow Creek Neighborhood Center received funds to initiate neighborhood based-' programs.The Johnson County -United Way, the City of.Iowa City, Johnson County, the Gannett Foundation, First Christian Church and the Iowa Chapter of the National . Committee for the Prevention of Child Abuse have all allocated funds to the project. However, the neighborhood center has not yet been successful in securing a space to house the programs. If adequate space was available for programs, the'neighborhood center would extend its services to other low-income families living in the area, I particularly those living in. the apartment complexes on Broadway Street (18 public housing units, and subsidized units in the Coronet Apartments and the Broadway Condominiums). r HACAP/Headstart and the Willow Creek Neighborhood Center have joined forces to secure a joint -use facility'in.the South East quadrant of Iowa City.

Last year we became concerned about the lack of community support for the families iving in the low-income housing complex known as Cedarwood. ilagy of these residents are in need of more advocay, resources, and positive alternatives, both recreational and instructional, to help improve the quality of their and their children's lives. After receiving organizatioput from n sponsoredsa°els agencies, and concerned citizens, our local ° P grant to the Iowa Chapter -M FCA in hopes of reversing the conditions in this area. The Iowa Chapter a the Governor's Advisory Board on Child Abuse Prevention were so impressed by the combination of obvious need and effective programming solutions, that they granted our organization over 49,900, viewing this program as a model project in the state of Iowa. Combined with the generous support from the Gannett Foundation, the City of Iowa City, and the Johnson County Beard of Supervisors, the Iillowcreek Neighborhood Center has been able to provide the badly needed services since July, 1988- They've started by offering lunch programs, educational groups, access to resources, and providing positive recreational and instructional alternatives to both parents & children. In the short time the neighborhood center has been functioning, a positive shift in the atmosphere and morale of its residents has already been seen. /G flat A Johnson County ACCAN (Area Council on Child Abuse & Neglect) P.O.

Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 — Members of the Department of Planning and Program Developments We are writing in support of the grant proposal being submitted by _ Willowcreek and the HACAP Head Start Program. We recognize that our community does have a large number of low j income people, most of whom include families with young children. _ Many of these families are headed by young single mothers. There is an especially high concentration of these families in the Cedarwood -, area. Many low income families with young children have no transportation. There are .limited child care resources available in this part of town that are reasonably accessible to the families in the Cedarwood area. That is why 4 -Cs supports the construction of a permanent facility which combines a neighborhood center and child care services close to Cedarwood. This facility would go a long way in addressing the needs of low income families in this area. ` We are pleased with the cooperation demonstrated by Willowcreek and HACAP in this project. We hope you give your consideration to funding this proposal.

This could house, in addition to the Neighborhood Center and its services, a i -- Licensed Respite Care Program and a room for HACAP/HEAD START Classroom. I concur with the applicant that the community as a whole will work together to make r whatever minor improvements are needed in the facility. In fact, I think this type of community involvement Is important. The First Christian Church has contributed $500 to fund Willowcreek Services. In addition, we have worked with the Ecumenical Consultation to form a Children's Committee and have enlisted the support and interest of other congregations in this project and others that address the needs of children In our community. I do not feel that I need to document the need for the services that could be housed in ` this facility. I believe these have been well documented.

Need for such a facility has been well-documented by a number of human service agencies, and such a center would significantly serve the low-income, mostly single -parent families in that neighborhood. The congregation of which I am pastor is in communication with Joan Vandenberg of Willowcreek, and we will continue to support her efforts to establish a center that will offer important social and educational opportunities for neighborhood persons.

We at MECCA are aware of the problems, including substance abuse, which exist at the. Cedarwood Apartments and support the neighborhood center's efforts in at- tempting to alleviate them. Like several other human service agencies, we are interested in offering our assistance to the program, but without a permanent faci- lity, services would be inconsistent and difficult to coordinate. Currently prevention workers from our agency have been going to the Pheasant Ridge Apartments to work with a group of high-risk children. The neighborhood center there has been a valuable connecting point for us to reach these children. It was our intention to provide this same service to the children of Cedarwood, how- ever without a space this has not been feasible. A facility in the Cedarwood neigh- borhood is needed for us to provide needed substance abuse prevention service to the people there. Please give the Willow Creek Neighborhood Center's proposal your consideration. Again, we stongly support this application for CDBG funds. Thank you for your assistance and support in this.

The Cedarwood apartment complex presents numerous social problems to our community and I have supported community development efforts there in the past. However I am J aware that other community development needs exist in that part of town and I believe the idea of a neighborhood center will draw participants from other homes besides Cedarwood. A wider range of users for the Center will help provide the diversity which has been such a positive force at Willowcreek. Coupling the Center with a childcare facility is a fine idea and will demonstrate, in a practical way, the need to provide an early chance for kids. We look forward to working with the Center and we will provide referrals and funding for the childcare.

Carol Thompson, Johnson County Director, Department of Human Services r Mary Anne Volm, Executive Director, United Way ri L F 14. Why is this project needed? (continued) One of the most pressing needs In the Iowa City area is for services for the chronically mentally ill (CMA. Several agencies presently serve this population with a variety of programs. The general goal of all these programs Is to provide necessary support services so the CMI can live in the least restrictive (most normal) situation possible and avoid -- hospitalization. There is a significant gap in the continuum of services available to serve the CMI in the Iowa City area which this project seeks to address. When people leave the hospital after receiving acute care or Hillcrest's Iowa City Residence (ICR), after a year of residential treatment under the care of 24 hour a day staff, they must find independent housing and live on their own in the community. They have the assistance of a Visiting Counselor from Hillcrest's Supervised Apartment Living (SAL) program and other _ programs In the community. - Some are not yet ready to live independently and need a more supportive environment such as a boarding house with a live-in staff member to assist with teaching daily living skills, Job -finding and keeping skills, and personal support. Without this support people often return to _ the hospital during periods of crisis. Such hospitalizations represent not - only a large expense but also a significant set -back for the person's progress toward Independent living in the community. A Hillcrest study In 1985 of people leaving the ICR found that 55X of them immediately experienced isolation, anxiety, and lack of confidance in their ability to manage on their own in the community. Their biggest problems were: isolation, non-compliance with medication, and failure to j follow through with day programming. These problems can all be directly j — affected by providing a supportive living environment such as the boarding 7 house. According to Department of Human Services statistics, Johnson County had thirty-three people hospitalized at the Mental Health Institute in FY1986 at a cost to the County of $378,167. The provision of adequate support services can reduce the overall number and duration of hospitalizations — therby cutting the cost to the county. — The University of Iowa Hospital recorded an average of forty-two psychiatric emergency room visits per month during the past year, Just during day -time business hours. Many of these were from the foWa City area. Some of these visits could be eliminated by providing adequate support services, r ,• The Crisis Center's 24 hour telephone crisis line received 1110 calls during FY1987 which fell into categories which might well Involve some the chronically mentally 111. While not all of these calls were from the CMI — they do give some indication of a need for this service. The breakdown by category follows: Psychiatric 171 _ Suicide 241 Depression 236 Counseling246 — Alcohol/drug 216 Total 1110 The Iowa City Police Chief estimated that his officers respond to approximately thirty calls per month for assistance in dealing with situations Involving the CMI. The ICR and SAL programs are operated by Hillcrest Family Services — which Is a multi -program family service agency, affiliated with the Methodist and Presbyterian churches, which has been serving eastern Iowans for over seventy years with a variety of services. These Include: counseling, group homes and supervised apartment living programs for adults with chronic mental illness, adolescent residential treatment, adoption, nutrition and family planning, chemical dependency services, and in-home family treatment. ` In 1976 Hillcrest established the Iowa City Residence (ICR), a seven bed group home for CMI women in Iowa City. Two years earlier Hillcrest had opened the Y -Crest Residence In Cedar Rapids to serve the same population. Both facilities were expanded to fourteen beds and began admiting both men and women in 1983. Both now also operate Supervised Apartment Living (SAL) programs providing Visiting Counselors who have twice weekly _ contacts with the CMI living on their own in the community. The Iowa City SAL program operates out of an office at 916 Malden Lane with a staff of four. This office will operate the boarding house. Hillcrest's experience operating residential programs for the CMI will help in Implementing this new project In an efficient and effective manner. 16. General Description of Activities: (continued) The house at 728 Bowery was purchased in March 1988 with funds from the Gannett Foundation grant and is owned, free and clear, by Hillcrest Family Services. The house requires complete remodeling of kitchens and bathrooms, a new half bath on the first floor, mostly flew appliances and furniture, removal of some partitions, Insulation and new wall covering In the basement apartment, miscelaneous repairs and new Interior paint and floor coverings. The CDBG Inspector's list of needed work was ten pages long. We expect to begin construction by mid-October and complete it In four months time so that people should be able to move in by February or March, 1989. Funds for the remodeling will come from the Gannett Foundation grant and a $22,000 CDBG housing rehabilitation depreciating lien and loan which was approved by the housing commission September 13, 1988. Even with these funds we are $25,000 short of the amount needed. Four bids were obtained through a public bidding process for the consideration of the Housing Commission. The bids did not Include $1200 for regrading the lawn to correct basement water seepage problems. They were as follows: 1. $64,809 2. $74,023 3. $83,710 4. $90,773 The low bidder had a financial statement which the City Controller felt was unsatisfactory and was unable to obtain a performance bond as required by the Hillcrest Board of Trustees, Therefore, we are working with the second bidder, Jose Otero of Iowa City, to reach agreement on terms for a contract for the work. If we had to borrow the needed $25,000 from a bank It would cost $342 per month in payments ($25,000 at 1176 over 10 years). This would represent a $42 per month Increase in the amount that would have to be paid by residents for room and board, Were a CDBG no -interest loan over fifteen years to be available It would require only $17 per month per resident In additional costs. The higher figure needed to pay off a bank loan would price the house out of the hands of the very people we are trying to serve. In addition, we hope to conduct a capital fund raising campaign next year to repay this loan as quickly as possible so as to reduce costs to residents of the house, Zoning approval has been obtained from the City as there was no change in the usage of the house. The building Inspector has been through _. the house. CDBG staff have inspected the house and submitted their list of requirements to the architect, Pierce King and Associates of Iowa City who - has completed working drawings and specifications. Hillcrest staff Involved Include Craig Mosher, Regional Director and Anne Armknecht, SAL Program Coordinator (She will be responsible for operating the house from her office at 916 Maiden Lane, Iowa City). In addition, Jack Newman, Mary Stier, Jean McCarty, and other Iowa City Hillcrest board members are putting time In on the project. a CITY OF IOWA CITY COMMUNITY DE'T'LOPSSF.:7T BLOC{ GRANT k UNDIAG REQUEST 1.

Why is this Project Needed? Four classes of handicapped students share the school facilities as part of a student body of 393 children. We continually seek ways to encourage integrative activities between handicapped and regular students. The play equipment is very limited in this regard due to small capacity and one-at-a_ time nature. Some is unsafe for use by handicapped students without direct help or supervision. The school district, in constant financial shortfall, does not see playgrounds as a place that will ever get funds for equipment. Some schools are adjacent to city parks but Hoover is not. Hoover is not the "home" school for nearly all of the 25 handicapped students. They come by bus from all around the Iowa City area and from neighboring school districts. Several are part of the free lunch program with limited home resources. Disabled ® check if continued on additional pages) and attach 15. List Goal(s) of Project: A. Ramp provides safe access for appropriate, self -initiated use of the playground. B. The swing and slide provide opportunities for safe, integrative play for all Hoover students.

Some children _ are unable to use the swings with a single strap as seat. The swing and slide requested would provide integrative play opportunities for all the children and be safer than present equipment. The swing would have a space for wheel - chairs across from a bench seat that would allow swinging together. The slide would follow the contours of the hill, avoiding a high climb on ladder -like steps. It would not provide any height for a fall to the ground. We believe that the request provides safety, integration between the handicapped and other Hoover children, and opportunity for trunk control, balance, judgment. Currently, Hoover provides evening use of the school (twice a week) for aerobics for the older handicapped children and adults. There are also three Systems homes serving 16 residents, in the Hoover neighborhood district, within walking distance of the playground. In addition, there are other students served by _ Grant Wood AEA who live in the Hoover district but attend special education programs at other schools. We feel a mission to cooperate with all these groups due to our relationship with children in our handicapped classes. They are a part of usl I 16.

A slide built on the hili, low to the ground, so that no steps are necessary to reach it. — 3. A concrete ramp with railings for accessibi Iity to both levels of the playground. — One of the Grant requirements Is that we ask for contributions and/or support from community organizations and businesses such as yours. We will present our funding proposal for the amount of $5,600 to the Committee on Community Needs at a public hearing on September 27, 1988, with the funding awarded after January 1 , 1989. We would then begin the process of letting bids and ordering the equipment in the spring, with installation and completion of the — project targeted for summer, 1989, after the dismissal of school for the summer. If possible, we would appreciate a financial donation and/or written letter of support and _ approval from your service club, business or organization, which we know has always been active in supporting worthwhile community projects.

This project is entitled "Exterior Maintenance Project Phase Wand compliments our initial project the is nearing completion at this time. This project would only be completed by eighteen year olds as it I believe it would be entitled a "construction project" by HUD standards and we are uncertain if the Iowa Conservation Corps will qualify as a federal "trainee" project by summer of 1989, thereby, excluding 16 & 17 year olds from CDBG funded projects that involve construction. This issue is being currently discussed by the State of Iowa Conservation Corps Association throughthe Department of Economic Development. To this end, we intend to include young people from the Young Adult Conservation Corps in this project. I have spoken with Jim Swaim, Executive Director, United Action for Youth and under separate cover, a letter of support will be sent to the Committee on Community Need■ regarding endorsement of the project. In addition, Bill McCarty, Executive Director of Youth Homes, Inc. will send a letter of support. Thank you for consideration of this proposal.

The focus of our project is a clean-up. We have not submitted a request for construction related projects as we are uncertain if the Iowa Conservation Corps will qualify as a federal "trainee" project by summer of 1989, thereby, excluding 16 k 17 year olds from CDBG funded projects that involve construction. This issue is being currently discussed by the State of Iowa Conservation Corps Association through the Department of Economic Development.

Following the meeting with the commission. Laura will forward acopy of the information for attachment to the proposal. This meeting in scheduled for Wednesday, September 28, 1988 at 5:00 P.M.

It should be noted that the report will be presented to the Riverfront Commission for discussion at its meeting to be held November 16, 1988, therefore, it is subject to modification based on the overall reaction of the y commission. Melody Rockwell suggested that I speak with commission member Al Stroh, since "No Man's Land" appeared to be one of the primary sites for consideration. Several additional points were discussed regarding this area and it is clear that if Mayor's Youth would concentrate its efforts in this location next summer, several tasks iwould need to be accomplished. Our work projects would likely include improvement of access through step construction, riprap installation and brush and poison ivy removal. The Crandic - Railroad would need to be contacted concerning a possible railroad track crossing, therefore, I have forwarded a copy of the report to Al Courtney in Cedar Rapids, IA. Of course, city staff and city � council would need to a p q _.. approve this concept and a more thorough design plan would be necessary. We would hope to solicit assistance from city staff in this endeavor. - I understand that one of our Iowa City residents, Merle Neubauer, is very interested in this area, therefore, I have sent a copy of the report to him. If the Riverfront Commission wishes to target this area for consideration, I will request that Mr. Neubauer provide additional input on this project. Riverfront sub- committee members Bob Wachal and Douglas Jones have agreed to act as resource persons for all of the 1989 MYEP projects. Letter to Karen Kubby Continued -2- I trust that this information will be helpful in up -dating the committee on potential projects for summer of 1989. If I can provide any further information, do not hesitate to contact me. I will forward the conclusions of the Riverfront Commission following the meeting on the 18th of November. Sincerely,. Peg McElroy Executive Director Enclosure (1) cc: Jacque McClure, President, MYEP Board Mary Nugent, CDBG Administration Planner Melody Rockwell, CDBG Planner Riverfront Commission Members Al Courtney, Crandic Railroad Merle Neubauer id/11/88 I - IOWA CITY RIVERFRONT COMMISSION RIVER AND CREEK CLEAN -IIP SOB -COMMITTEE MAYOR'S YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM -- IOWA CONSERVATION CORPS 1989 PROJECTS The group met to explore areas within the city limits for consideration as possible work projects for the Iowa Conservation Corps next summer. The following sites were visited and discussed: Ralston Creek (Van Buren and Washington Sts.) The Ralston Creek project completed by Mayor's Youth during the summers of 1986 and 1987, was inspected. It was thought that an additional layer of gabions on the southern portion of the embankment would be beneficial. The slope of the embankment is far too steep and will continue to erode in the future. i Ralston Creek (Court and Muscatine Sts.) Neighbors near this site have complained of erosion of their yards. The bridge was examined along with the embankment and it — was discovered that the stream flow is being directed towards the east embankment. It was thought that this project would perhaps be too difficult for MYEP students to complete. Heavy equipment would be needed to accomplish the necessary changes to avoid further erosion. Sturgis Ferry (Northern and southern Portions) An immediate recommendation in the parking lot area (north) was to install parking lot barriers (cement logs) in order to clearly define areas for parking. Several individuals have been driving on the grassy areas in order to park closer to the shelters. In addition, selective tree removal with chain saws was _ recommended along with a general clean-up. This was also true of the southern portion of Sturgis Ferry. No Man's Land (Front street between Prentiss and Harrison sts.) This area is well known by those that fish. It is not fully _ clear who owns this land along the Iowa River, however, it is _ likely public land, owned by the City of Iowa City and the river bank is owned by the State of Iowa. There are a number of tasks to accomplish in this area. Trees will need to be thinned. The number of stems of a large maple tree located in the area will need to be removed to foster a healthy tree. Riprap is needed by the culvert and several large chunks of concrete need to be broken up and placed strategically to prevent further erosion. Paths could be constructed that provide appropriate access to the river. It was suggested to either use some of the materials present or to purchase railroad ties. A sidewalk connecting the area to Harrison ;s Riverfront Commission Report Continued -2- No Man's Land Continued Street across the railroad tracks would be beneficial and would need to be negotiated with the Crandic Railroad. A stone retaining wall would be helpful. Logs should be removed from the river and could perhaps be used to construct some of the paths. - City Park Floating Pier and Canoe Access The site was visited to discuss some modifications in the anchoring of the canoe dock. Doug suggested that a tower of riprap be built to support the anchor wires. This will be completed when the dock is put back in the water in spring. Crandic Park Along the Crandic Park embankment it was noted that existing ` slabs of rock should be broken up into smaller pieces and repositioned to provide good bank stabilization. — Committee Recommendations: Overall, the area along the Iowa River located between Harrison and Prentiss Streets seemed to be the most beneficial _ project. It was thought that the Sturgis Ferry area and the Crandic area could also be addressed during the summer months. r Report submitted by committee members: Bob Wachal, Douglas Jones — and Peg McElroy. It should be noted that this report is submitted without final input from Douglas Jones. 6 E The Committee on Community Needs, in its recommendation for public services funding, assumes that the City Council wishes to reserve 15% of the City's 1989 entitlement to distribute among the Human Services Agencies formerly funded with General Revenue Sharing funds i CITY OF IOWA CITY i i — i i 'I i v II COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOC- GRANT O FUNDING REQUEST 1.

FUhDI1,G I I_ Our neighborhood, the Miller/Orchard ares, currently has no -- neighborhood park. We request CDBG funding for the acquisition j — of 5 acres of land fronting on the west side of Miller Avenue. After several neighborhood meetings and in cooperation with the CDBG staff, a questionnaire was sent to all 670 residents _ and resulted in a comprehensive study. The resulting It 1 priority I _I is a neighborhood park. While this is the top priority of the Miller/Orchard Neighborhood, it will also benefit the nearly 'J 29000 additional Iowa City residents living within one half mile of the proposed park. Most of these residents reside in one of the two l--rgcst F.M44 High Density Multi Family Zones, as in- dicated on the proposed zoning•map for Iowa City. Our area is a newly designated area of need and we meet the J CDBG funding criteria. We have a substantial number of low and moderate income persons and many elderly. This park would meet J an urgent community need. And the project could be completed in one year. We're asking for CDBG funding of $90,000 for acquisition of this land. It is the last green space/undeveloped land in the neighborhood and is a natural for an active park. I i - MILLER/ORCHARD NEIGHBORHOOD COMMITTEE K'UtEN Y-HRADEK, CHAIRPERSON Alt� LLL ...........

Eligibility: Data obtained from 4 C's indicates that users of the Toy Lending Library fall heavily into the income eligibility guidelines for CDBG funding including 9 of the 10 day care centers and the child care program at the ICCDs•s (alternative high school). CECThree of the currently existing BASP Programs operate in neighborhoods which fall into eligible _ guidelines; they are: Horace Mann, Shimek and Roosevelt. Unserved schools in the ICCSD include Grant Wood in Iowa city. _ The following are major conclusions drawn from study of Before and After School Program (HASP) child care offered in the Iowa City public schools and from results of the Child Care Survey administered in the Iowa City community School District _ cooperat tingEcumenieNeeds calConsultationmemberscand iother community leaders) and community Coordinated Child Care (4 C's): I. Before and After School programs (on-site childcare) is a major provider of child care in Iowa City. The time has come for the community to recognize the very significant role these programs play in the supervision of school age children. The programs, which are located in 10 of the Iowa City community School District's 14 elementary schools are not sponsored or financially supported by the ICCSD. They are provided use of the schools, physical facilities rent free, as well as such in-kind services as custodial services and printing at cost. Each program, which is licensed by the Department of Human on Services, anbeducationalndirector board dsupp is run - staff according to the DHS regulations for ratio. support programs care for an average of 30 children each. Most of the schools have waiting lists. -. I The Child Care Survey, as well as data from 4 C's indicates a lack of childcare in existing day care centers and family day care homes, as well as a lack of private child care providers, to meet the needs of elementary age children. — 1I.

WHY IS THIS PROJECT NEEDED? (Continued -page 2) Department of Human Services licensing consultant -Protection of children served who do not leave the school campus unsupervised in order to travel to another site for daycare in inclement weather III. Before and After School child care programs face numerous problems and challenges. -Considerable staff instability and turnover, which suggests a need for increased wages and benefits; continuing education and for directors, opportunities to acquire increased financial and personal management skills. -A lack of quality curriculum and program resource materials at affordable cost and an acute need for materials designed for school-age childcare programs. -A lack of quality resources of supplies and toys for use in programs and corresponding lack of storage space at some schools for such materials -A lack of suitable professional development opportunities which would fulfill DHS requirements for continuing education and appropriate for those who work with elementary -age children -A sense of isolation of educational directors from colleagues and issues, and a need for mechanisms for them to be in contact with each other and with other child care advocacy organizations. -Vulnerability to fluctuations in ability to fund programs due to inexperienced, already -busy working parents and part- time staff, producing financial planning and management difficulties. -A frequently expressed need for a variety of technical assistance services related to needs assessment, financing, insurance, curriculum needs, recreation leadership, licensing and general management of programs -A need for central coordination of a qualified substitute pool and resource pool -Need for a central administrative support services vehicle of information dissemination, communication with the public and advocacy at all levels -A need for centralized grantswriting and fundraising -In some instances, a need for incentives and capacity to improve the quality of care provided -A lack of effective agreements with schools regarding use of space and equipment -A need for assistance in development of BASPs in one or more of the 4 unserved elementary schools. IV. The greatest need for start-up funds are threefold. 1 - Salary and administrative budget for a city-wide Before and After School Programs Coordinator. While the Coordinator (and writer of this application) has been hired, effective /!� fox.- 14. WHY IS THIS PROJECT NEEDED? (Continued -page 3) September 1, 1988, and has assumed duties responsive to the above listed problems, she is averaging 8.4 hours per day in pursuittheir solutions, despite the fact that she has the use of excellent office equipment (in-kind), and much experience in the fields of project grants and management, education, and child care. The Department of Economic Development Child Care Grant (shown as match) which contributed the seed money for the Position, provides only a quarter -time, $4,576 salary (no benefits), which covers 9 hours per week. The Coordinator is charged with locating additional funds to cover the costs of her salary. Further, it provided only $250 for administrative expenses for the 10 month project period, much of which was needed in the effort to recruit a adequate, qualified substitute pool. 2 - Funding for program supplies appropriate for elementary age children, to be located in the Toy Lending Library at the 4 C's office. Toys, curriculum and supplies may be checked out from the Toy Lending Library by members of that 4 C's project, which includes BASPs as well as student and low income families, home day care providers, day care centers and preschools. Data obtained from 4 C's indicates that users of the Library fall heavily into the income eligibility guidelines for CDBG funding including 9 of the 10 day care centers and the child care program at the ICCDS's CEC (alternative high school). Three of the currently existing BASPs operate in neighborhoods which fall into eligible guidelines; they are: Horace Mann, Shimek and Roosevelt. 3 - Funding to defray start up costs and first month salary of programs.to be developed in unserved schools before collection of tuition has begun. This includes liability insurance payment, filing fees for incorporation and tax exempt status, printing, advertising, postage, etc. Plans will be developed this year to develop new sites. The coordinator will locate funds this year to provide scholarships for a percentage of the spots in the new programs, which will fall into the income guidelines of the CDBG. V. The Before and After School Resources Project exists to implement this project, which is responsive to the acute and long-range needs of the BASPs. The Before and After School Program Resources with the assistance of 4 C's is in place and has commenced operations consistent with remediation of the problems and challenges listed in III. It has received one $10,000 DED grant and is eligible to reapply twice more for funding. The project joins the resources and expertise of 4 C's with the skills of an experienced educator/administrator who has a deep commitment to strengthening and stabilizing BASP programs in Iowa City. r II 15. GOALS OF THE PROTECT Overall goals are to provide for the strengthening and stabilization of the Before and After School Programs which operate in the Iowa City public schools. Expanded services of the District -wide coordinator would include, but would not be limited to: - plan for and purchase program/age-appropriate materials for the Toy Lending Library at 4 C's - provide technical assistance to boards and directors - develop resource pools of substitute teachers and community resources - assist in the development of new before/after programs in unserved schools for 1989-9o. - communicate with agencies and organizations in the community regarding needs of the programs (ie: attend meetings, fundraising and grants writing) - assist in the development and collection of school-age appropriate curriculum and materials for the programs - serve as BASP liaison to the ICCDS - plan schedule and recruit speakers for staff development opportunities - assume the role of advocate at all levels for before/after programs - form a formal alliance or consortium of the independent programs to assist in planning for their mutual needs and interests - administer the grants Explain how goals will be accomplished.

We would recommend that the City of Iowa City approve this project for COBB funding in 1987. We are very much in favor of making all of our parks accessible. Ile were concerned about the newly - placed park benches along the Iowa River bank this summer, which are virtually unusable by a person in a wheelchair; a person who has difficulty walking across grass and/or rough terrain; and even a person with poor eyesight or who is blind.

Z JOBSplus Unlimited, Inc. 400 South Clinton Street — Suite 238 - Federal Building Iowa City, Iowa 52240 — IDENTIFIED NEED: Lack of adequate resources in the Iowa City community ito address the needs of unemployed, underemployed, and ._.. displaced workers desirous of finding suitable employment is apparent. This recognized insufficiency is not limited — tothe student population, but also includes the local j communities in and around Iowa City. Since opening the doors of JOBSplus Unlimited, we have experienced many local residents in need of and interested — in taking part in our personalized services. However, they were unable to afford them. -' What separates our services from existing services is _ the individualized and customized approach we employ to assist each client, based on the specialized needs of each person. JOBSplus teaches each client how to market — him/her(self) in today's job market. JOBSplus considers the present perceptions employers have of the existing labor force. JOBSplus attempts to tailor its services to meet the demands and needs of both the - prospective employer and employee. JOBSplus endeavors to provide the best quality service possible in attempting to minimize down-time and start-up difficulties usually associated with new hires. The ultimate impact will be to equip job applicants with the skills necessary to become fully marketable and employable, thus producing a more productive member of society. JOBSplus realizes that these present difficulties are not — simple, but very complex when it comes to lack of skills and/or understanding a fickled job market. The problems _ experienced by unemployed, lqw-income, and minority persons are further complicated by the acceptance and competence factor. , I —, There seems always to be a question of competence when employers are considering a member of the above mentioned groups for employment. Can a single parent handle irregularities in working hours and conditions? Can a minority applicant fully understand and appreciate — the level of difficulty contained in a particular position? With adequate training, these traditionally affected groups .J can gain the required confidence to adequately overcome the adverse nature of the interviewing and marketing processes. PROBLEMS ADDRESSED: JOBSplus will address the absence of sufficient resources available in the Iowa City area to deal with the problems of the difficult to employ, whether they are low income, unemployed, underemployed, or minority. PURPOSE: The overall purpose of JOBSplus is to provide a service where none presently exists in the private sector. Exposure and practical training will be provided to enhance _ the skills of communicating and marketing in the workplace. JOBSplus will establish a concerted and coordinated mechanism for expediting the efforts of persons desirous of attaining access to suitable and meaningful employment. JOBSplus also endeavors to provide applicants with realistic views of the employment and. interviewing processes. nn �I TARGETED POPULATION: •J The target population will include those low and moderate income persons who are unemployed or underemployed residing _ in Iowa City. Client referrals will be solicited from the Department of Human Services, United Way Agencies, and other qualified sources. Income eligibility will be verfied. METHODOLOGY: JOBSplus Unlimited, is a minority—owned career development consulting firm. Its founders have 25 combined years of experience in the fields of human resource development, sales, marketing, placement, and higher education. These hard driving professionals will rely on expertise, established professional contacts and linkage building to continually develop new means of addressing the problems and concerns of the clientele. PROGRAM COMPONENTS: The program components for the pilot project "Transition Career Assistance", are counseling, marketing and career development activities. N IIA GOALS AND JOBSplus is an on-going business concern at the 1 TIMETABLES present time and seeks funding in order to provide specialized career assistance to low and moderate income persons. — i JOBSplus' service contract renders to the client two - additional job searches within the calendar year of _ hie/her initial contract date. These two additional job searches will be conducted at the request of the -- client, by geographic location (local or nation-wide), for no additional fee. j foa I, +INDrI'I NM N I I I VING, INC. 26ras1Mako1Shoo)•Invmt Ily,brva 1!:77•111•(JI7);1:111 J11/II September 28. 1988 Ms. Marianne Milkman Committee on Community Needs Iowa City. Iowa Dear Community Block Grant Members: Independent Living Inc. has reviewed the Transitional Career Assistance Project Proposal and believe it would develop services for low and moderately income, underemployed, and minority applicants and other individuals who could benefit from employment services through the private sector. Providing services that prepare written resumes, evaluation analysis. career kits, follow tip services, and locating job sites are accountable and comprehensive in nature. Many individuals of low or moderate income are not eligible or do not wish to formally receive services in existing non-profit agencies for a variety of reasons. This proposal is a viable alternative that would be flexible and realistic in promoting independent living skills regarding competitive employment in today's job market. In addition, I am aware of the work that Ms. Jackson has done with adult education programs in the community: and her professional expertise and personal integrity are well respected, 1 would support this proposal and believe that it would be in the communities best interest. Very sincerely, � U Jesse Bromsen.Independent Living Coordinator I p A United Way Agency September 23, 1988 Committee on Community Needs Marianne Milkman 410 East Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Committee Members: As individuals prosper, so prospers the community. Yet, there are many individuals in our community whose opportun- ity for prosperity is diminished as they lack the tools necessary for obtaining or improving their employment status. Unfortunately, those most in need of assistance are often those least able to afford developmental services. The Transition Career Assistance program can provide such individuals not with jobs, but with something far more _ valuable -- the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary for them to secure, maintain, and improve their employment istatus. Many of us were fortunate enough to have acquired these tools either through training or observations for those not so fortunate, an enabling program such as that proposed may be the only opportunity they will have for developing, such tools. There are three primary factors that, in my opinion, favor funding of .this porposed program. First, the program pro- vides the types of services needed for those most in need of assistance. Second, funding of this program would be L an investment in the future of the participating individuals and of the community that could assure long-range returns. Finally, the program has been conceived and will be imple- mented by Rick Collins and Sanetta George Jackson, who have the ability, conviction, and compassion necessary to assure .success. I i The Transition Career Assistance Program offers the very real potential for increasing individual and community prosperity. I strongly support the use of public monies _ for such a program and encourage the committee to provide the necessary funding. Thank you for the opportunity to express my opinion. on this matter.

Karr, C ty Clerkot t e City of Iowa City, Iowa -10- 1761 EXHIBIT "A" MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT THIS MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT is between the City of Iowa City, Iowa, party of the first part (the "Issuer"), and Michael Development, a Hinnesota General Partnership, party of the second part (the "Borrower"). i 1. Preliminary Statement. Among the matters of mutual inducement which have resulted in the execution of this Agreement are the following: f (a) The Issuer is an municipal corporation of the State of Iowa, authorized and empowered by the provisions of Chapter 419 of the Code of Iowa (the "Act"), to issue Industrial Development Revenue Bonds for'the purpose of defraying all or a j portion of the cost of acquiring and improving land, buildings lVj and equipment suitable for industrial projects as defined therein; and (b) In order to provide for industrial development and employment opportunities for the inhabitants of the Issuer and to add to the welfare and prosperity of the Issuer and of such r inhabitants, the Issuer proposes to issue its Industrial I Development Revenue Bonds (the "Bonds") and to loan to the Borrower the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds to enable the Borrower to finance the cost of acquiring land and constructing a facility thereon to be leased for use in the manufacture of seamless cans (the "Project"); and i (c) It is considered essential that acquisition and construction related to the Project commence at the earliest practicable date, and that orders be placed for acquiring the necessary improvements and equipment. However, before commencing the Project, the Borrower desires satisfactory assurances from the Issuer that the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds of the Issuer will be made available in an amount sufficient to finance all or a portion of the cost of the Project, which cost, including the expenses related to the issuance of the Bonds, is presently estimated not to exceed $3,000,000. (d) Representatives of the Issuer have indicated the willingness of the Issuer to proceed with and effect such t financing as an inducement to the Borrower to expand and locate the Project in the Issuer and the Issuer has advised the Borrower that, subject to due compliance with all requirements of law and the obtaining of all necessary consents and approvals and to the happening of all acts, conditions and f 1 i S _1_ things required to exist, happen and be performed precedent to and in connection with such financing in due time, form and manner as required by law, the Issuer, by virtue of such statutory authority as may now exist or may hereafter be conferred, will issue and sell its Bonds in an amount sufficient to finance all or a portion of the cost of the Project. (e) The Issuer considers that the undertaking of the Project will promote industrial development of the Issuer, provide employment opportunities for the inhabitants of the Issuer, enhance the tax base of the Issuer and overlapping taxing jurisdictions, increase the Issuer's commerce and add to the welfare and prosperity of the Issuer and that of its inhabitants. 2. Undertakinas on the Part of the Issuer. The Issuer agrees as follows: (a) That it will authorize, or cause to be authorized, the issuance and sale of an issue of its Bonds, pursuant to the terms of the Act as then in force, in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to finance all or a portion of the cost of the Project, which cost, including the expenses related to the issuance of the Bonds, is presently estimated not to exceed $3,000,000. (b) That it will cooperate with Borrower to sell the Bonds upon mutually agreeable terms, and it will adopt, or cause to ibe adopted, such proceedings and authorize the execution of such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the authorization, issuance and sale of the Bonds and the financing of the Project as aforesaid, and the entering into a Loan Agreement with the Borrower with respect to the Project, all as j shall be authorized by law and mutually satisfactory to the Issuer and the Borrower. (c) That the aggregate basic payments (i.e. the payments to be used to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds) payable under the Loan Agreement shall be such sums as shall be sufficient to pay the principal of, interest and redemption premium, if any, on the Bonds as and when the same shall become due and payable. (d) That it will take or cause to be taken such other acts and adopt such further proceedings as may be required to implement the aforesaid undertakings or as it may deem appro- priate in pursuance thereof. -2- 1701 3. Undertakin es s on the Part of the Borrower. The Borrower s a covenantnd agreas o lows: (a) That it will cooperate with the Issuer to sell the Bonds in an aggregate principal amount as above stated; provided, however, that the terms of the Bonds and of the sale and delivery thereof shall be mutually satisfactory to the Issuer and the Borrower. (b) That it has not, prior to the execution of this agree- ment and the taking of "official action" toward the issuance of the Bonds by the Issuer, acquired or commenced construction of the Project, or any part thereof, and has not entered into any contracts or paid or incurred any costs related thereto, which will be paid or reimbursed from the proceeds of the Bonds, when and if issued. The Borrower does, however, represent that it now intends to enter into a contract or contracts for the acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of the Project and take, with reasonable diligence, the other necessary steps toward the realization of the Project. (c) That contemporaneously with the sale of the Bonds it will execute a Loan Agreement with the Issuer under the terms of which the Borrower will obligate itself to pay to the Issuer sums sufficient in the aggregate to pay the principal of, interest and redemption premium, if any, on the Bonds as and when the same shall become due and payable, such instrument to contain other provisions required by law and such other provisions as shall be mutually acceptable to the Issuer and the Borrower. (d) That it will take such further action and adopt such further proceedings as may be required to implement its aforesaid undertakings or as it may deem appropriate in pursuance thereof. q. General Provisions. (a) All commitments of the Issuer under paragraph 2 hereof and of the Borrower under paragraph 3 hereof are subject to the condition that on or before December 311 1989 (or such other date as shall be mutually satisfactory to the Issuer and the Borrower), the Issuer and the Borrower shall have agreed to mutually acceptable terms for the Bonds and of the sale and delivery thereof, and mutually acceptable terms and conditions of the din documents referred to in 2 and paragraph 3 and the proceedings ref -3- /70/ (b) Whether or not the events set forth in (a) of this paragraph take place within the time set forth or any extension thereof, the Borrower agrees that it will reimburse the Issuer for all reasonable and necessary direct out-of-pocket expenses which the Issuer may incur, including but not limited to, legal fees, printing and publication costs and filing fees arising from the execution of this Agreement and the performance, or preparation to perform by the Issuer of its obligations here- under, or done at the request of the Borrower. (c) All commitments of the issuer hereof are further subject to the conditions that the Issuer, and its elected and appointed officials, shall in no event incur any liability for any act or omission hereunder, and that the Bonds described herein shall not constitute an indebtedness of the Issuer within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision and shall not constitute nor give rise to a pecuniary liability of the Issuer or a charge against its general credit or taxing powers. (d) It is expressly understood by both parties to this Memorandum of Agreement that its execution by the Issuer is intended both as an expression of the Issuer's current intention to proceed with the issuance of the Bonds and to constitute "some other similar official action" for purposes of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The execution of this Memorandum of Agreement by the Issuer is not intended to nor does it create a binding commitment of the Issuer to proceed with the issuance of the Bonds. It is further understood that the issuance of the Bonds are subject to further review by the City Council of the Issuer and is conditioned upon, among other things, full compliance of all provisions of the Industrial Revenue Bond Policy and Procedures -4- IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have entered into this Agreement by their officers thereunto duly authorized as of the 15th day of November , 1988.

The Cedarwood apartment complex, a neighborhood of particular concern in our community, is located in this area of Iowa City. Conditions is this HUD project are not typical of our community. The incidence of child abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse and criminal activity is disproportionate to Johnson County/Iowa City. Recognizing the need for intervention at the Cedarwood Apartments, the City of Iowa City, Johnson County and the United Way -all allocated funds for fiscal year 1989 to initiate an outreach program. In addition to local funds, the Gannett Foundation and the Iowa Chapter on the National Committee in the Prevention of Child Abuse allocated funds for an abuse prevention program. The two programs at Cedarwood have been successful in establishing relationships with the people of the neighborhood and some improvements have been noted. However, it is obvious that more intensive work with the single parent families is needed, especially for those who become parents at a young age and do not have adequate skills or training. Our community values the services of the Willow Creek Neighborhood Center, their comprehensive, neighborhood -based programs have proven to be effective in assisting low-income people. Conditions at Pheasant Ridge, the HUD project where the neighborhood center began in 1973, have improved significantly over the past 15 years. Police and child abuse reports have decreased dramatically, a better sense of community and peer support exists in the neighborhood. CIVIC CENTER • 410 EAST WASHINGTON STREET • IOWA CITY. IOWA 5::40 • (SIS) IS6.;000 Bureau of Community Services Division of Community Action Agencies October 27, 1988 Page 2 Our community believes that by using the same neighborhood -based model as at Pheasant Ridge, conditions at Cedarwood can be improved. It is our hope that the Family Development and Self -Sufficiency Council will join our community in supporting the Willow Creek Neighborhood Center's efforts to assist low-income families in the Cedarwood apartment complex and surrounding area. Please give their proposal your highest consideration.

A City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: October 28, 1988 To: City Council From: City Manager Re: Chamber of Commerce Attached are copies of legislative proposals that are being considered by the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. The Chamber has chosen to become more actively involved in legislative matters and these position papers indicate the opinion of various Chamber committees. cc: Dale Helling bJ/pc2 7 i j I i Draft Position 4 University Subcommittee Recommended by Legislative Council October 20, 1988 UNIVERSITY COMPETITION WITH PRIVATE ENTERPRISE Policy in Brief Support the new state law prohibiting state agencies from competing with private business, and work with The University of Iowa to seek long-term solutions. Background For many years, Chamber members have expressed concern that The University of Iowa was competing unfairly with private business in the sale of goods and services. In recent years, these concerns have intensified. Furthermore, this trend has not been limited to Iowa City or the state of Iowa. Recent articles point to the national nature of the problem. In The Chronicle of Higher Education of June 29, 1988, Burton A. Weisbrod writes about the growing commercialism of universities: "Private businesses are complaining that campus commercial activities represent unfair competition and that universities are using their tax-exempt status to undercut prices charged by tax -paying companies...." Weisbrod, a professor of economics at the University of Wisconsin, goes on to say that the financial bind which was causing universities to become more commercial was also causing other nonprofit and state and local organizations to do likewise. While admittedly offering no magical solutions, he emphasized that the "growing commercialization of universities is endangering both their integrity and their support from the business sector." He concludes that alternative funding sources will be necessary If universities are to reduce or eliminate their commercial ventures. In Iowa, the competition controversy clearly has caught the attention of the state legislature. Specifically, the 1988 Session of the 72nd General Assembly passed House File 529 prohibiting state agencies, including Regent institutions, from engaging In activities which compete with private enterprise. An important feature of HF 529 is that it exempts certain Regent Institution activities if they are an integral part of a school's mission. included in these are residence halls, transportation and souvenirs. in addition, the Board of Regents may exempt other activities which upon review are determined to be closely related to a school's educational mission. As part of the initial implementation of the new law, the Board of Regents took the following actions in July 1988: (1) adopted emergency rules in order to comply with HF 529; and (2) authorized an interinstitutional committee to develop and refine the final administrative rules of compliance for Board action in January 1989. Perhaps the most important feature of all the recent actions is the Board of Regents' emergency rule providing for an appeal process to resolve complaints of unlawful competition with private enterprise. Presumably this appeal process will carry forward into the Board's permanent rules and serve as a vehicle to resolve future competition disputes. /7of1 Draft Position 1 Education Subcommittee Recommended by Legislative Council October 20, 1988 EDUCATION Position in Brief Support for legislation that will enhance educational opportunities in Iowa, including: 1. Improvement in the quality of teaching, teachers and administration. 2. Adequate funding to enhance and strengthen the quality of education for all students. 3. An increase in community control of curriculum and funding. 4. Funding to schools based on a pupil -driven foundation formula. Background Iowa is nationally recognized for its excellent educational system at all lcvcls. it is imperative that the quality of education in Iowa be maintained. Superior educational systems and programs add to the state's economy by attracting business to our community, improving the quality of our lives and increasing the educational capacity of our youth. Education must continue to be a priority of the state, and this commitment must be reflected In high standards, accountability and adequate funding. The Chamber Position: School Standards The Chamber favors legislation that supports the State Board of Education's amended standards that include minimum requirements for curricula. Additional programs mandated by the state should allow for additional funding from the state to Implement these programs. The Chamber Position: Teacher Standards The Chamber encourages and supports legislation that strengthens teacher education programs. We favor efforts to enhance the role of master teachers to serve as cooperating teachers for teacher education. in addition, we support efforts to provide for additional pre -service programs. The Chamber also supports programs that would provide for additional staff development. N Education - Page 3 Incentives should be provided to districts that are staffed efficiently and provide opportunities for local districts to meet the needs of students. The Department of Education should work to establish guidelines for staffing ratios to be used in the state funding process. Changes in the formula should allow for Increased state funding if additional standards are mandated. The Chamber favors the expansion of funding sources beyond the present state aid and property taxes. This increase in funding sources should insure financial support and provide a more equitable approach to spreading the payment of taxes among a broader group of taxpayers. Local districts should be given the freedom and opportunity to meet local needs and expectations. DEJ:ccpol-edl i Draft Position 4 Local Government Subcommittee Recommended by Legislative Council October 20, 1988 UNFUNDED LEGISLATIVE MANDATES Position in Brief Action to oppose unfunded legislative mandates on local governments. Background In recent years, the Iowa legislature has imposed upon city and county governments and school boards a number of additional burdens without providing sufficient financing to cover the cost to local governments of the new requirements. Some local jurisdictions have had to go into debt to pay for the mandated programs; others have been forced to increase available revenues through local sales taxes, vehicle taxes, user fees or property taxes, or by cutting other services. Following are just three examples that illustrate the problem: 1. License rates under the new liquor control law are set by the state government, yet the policing and administration of this program is the responsibility of the local government. The income generated bears no relationship to the cost of enforcement and administration, and local governments cannot adjust fees accordingly. 2. The State of Iowa in 1986 extended its Hazardous Chemicals Risks Right -to - Know Act to include public schools. The statute requires local school systems to communicate all of the law's provisions to their employees, to advise employees of the chemical hazards to which they are exposed while at work, and to establish a management guide for compliance. These tasks have consumed an extraordinary number of hours, all without additional funding. Further, ongoing monitoring is required with no related funding. 3. The state has proposed new social welfare rules changing standards of county services and assistance to people with chronic mental health problems, mental retardation and developmental disabilities. It is estimated that this will cost Johnson County about $50,000, but no state funding is expected. Also, the Iowa legislature last year passed two bills increasing human services programs, with a substantial increase in demands on local administration, but no financing was provided. The Chamber Position As a general rule, the Chamber believes that new government programs or additional requirements in existing government programs should not be enacted without the funding to pay for them. Further, the Chamber opposes any action by state or federal governments that would Impose additional statutory requirements on cities, counties or schools boards unless reasonable funding also Is appropriated to avoid adding to existing financial burdens at the local level. aaa DEJ:ccpol-194 /7af Draft Position 1 Transportation Subcommittee Recommended by Legislative Council October 20, 1988 ROAD USE TAX ALLOCATION FORMULA Position in Brief Action to revise the current Road Use Tax Allocation Formula. Background The present distribution allocation formula of 45 percent to the primary road fund, 37 percent to counties (farm -to -market and secondary roads), and 18 percent to city street funds was first passed by the 1978 legislature. The continuing shift of Iowa's population from rural to urban and the increased urban employment of many rural residents demands that a higher portion of the road use tax (RUT) funds be allocated to cities and towns to more equitably recognize the current street and highway needs in and around the cities and larger towns of the state. i Off -the -top allocations from road use tax funds totaled nearly $90 million in fiscal year 1987 and continue to grow with each legislative session, further diluting the RUT monies available for distribution. The Chamber Position The Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce believes that the Road Use Allocation Formula should be revised to distribute a more equitable share of the available funds to cities and metropolitan area counties. Further, the Chamber opposes any further diversion of road use tax funds to non -highway uses. M It N DEJ:ccpol-trl / MC Draft Position 2 Transportation Subcommittee Recommended by Legislative Council October 20, 1988 AVENUE OF THE SAINTS Position in Brief Action to support construction of the Avenue of the Saints along the I-380 corridor. Background Transportation officials and the traveling public have long recognized the need for a freeway -quality highway directly linking St. Louis, Missouri, and St. Paul, Minnesota. Recognizing the need for such a facility, Congress has appropriated monies for a feasibility and route location study. With the completion of Interstate 380 from Interstate 80 to Waterloo, a 75 -mile segment on the direct St. Louis -to -St. Paul route is in place. Further, Highway 218 south of Interstate 80 provides another 20 miles of four -lane, freeway -quality highway. A similar quality facility already exists from Rochester, Minnesota, to St. Paul. The current interstate highway system provides only a very indirect route between St. Louis and Minneapolis -St. Paul, via Kansas City or Chicago. The Chamber Position The Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce believes the Mt. Pleasant - Cedar Rapids - Waterloo corridor for the Avenue of the Saints will provide maximum economic development potential to Eastern Iowa, while taking advantage of existing highway facilities.

Background Three separate studies of the higher education system in Iowa are currently under way or will be conducted over the next year under the auspices of the State Board of Regents, the Governor and the General Assembly. The Board of Regents has been conducting an extensive review (often referred to as an "audit") of the three universities and the two special schools. The audit is intended to highlight strengths and weaknesses, identify needs, point out inefficiencies, and justify the Regents' request for additional funding. The initial phase of the audit is scheduled to be completed in November 1988, while phase two is to be completed in November 1989. The consulting firm of Peat Marwick & Main has a $1,300,000 contract to conduct the study in cooperation with institutional and board office staff. A study of higher education in Iowa initiated by Governor Terry Branstad is also being conducted by Peat Marwick dt Main under a $200,000 contract. The completion date is January 1989. Regents President Marvin Pomerantz is a member of the steering committee, and David Vernon, UI acting vice president for academic affairs, serves on the advisory group. In addition, a Legislative Study Committee has been formed to take a look at the higher education system in the state. It is to complete its work before the 1990 legislative session. Senators Richard Vern of Solon and Dale Tieden of Elkader and Representatives Johnie Hammond of Ames and J. Brent Siegrist of Council Bluffs are the legislative members. There are five citizen members, including former Lieutenant Governor and former Regent Arthur Neu of Carroll and former Regent Harry Slife of Cedar Falls. The co-chairs are Roxanne Conlin and Edgar H. Bittle of Des Moines. The Chamber Position The Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce believes that the processes of self -study and external review can be helpful in determining whether The University of Iowa, the State Board of Regents, and all higher education in Iowa are utilizing tax dollars wisely and are operating efficiently. Therefore, the Chamber supports these studies and looks forward to reviewing the results and recommendations as they are made public. In addition, the work and progress of these three study groups should be carefully monitored, and the Chamber should be Informed of any impact the recommendations would have on the greater Iowa City community. Finally, the Chamber should be prepared to communicate Its Interest and concerns to Iowa City area legislators. # # DEJ;ccpol-u2 City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: October 31, 1988 To: City Council From: City Manager Re: Max Yocum - Showers Addition On Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, with a court order, City crews undertook a cleanup of the Yocum property in the Showers Addition. As a result of the two-day clean up, 61 dump truck loads of debris weighing 110 tons were removed from his property. Mr. Yocum will be billed for this work. In order to provide some additional evidence with respect to our cleanup efforts, the Department of Housing and Inspection Services videotaped the removal. cc: Doug Boothroy bj/pc2 i City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: October 31, 1988 To: City Council From: City Manager Re: Marilyn Bennett Grievance Arbitration We have received the opinion and award concerning this grievance.

In order to begin laying the groundwork for the development of some type of economic development policy with respect to the airport, the attached questions will need attention before a policy decision can be developed. Many of the questions involve the gathering of technical information while others involve the Commission expressing its policy preferences. Hopefuliy, upon review of the following questions as well as generating any additional questions or concerns, representatives of City staff can meet with you to compile the information and prepare an economic develop- ment policy recommendation. Please review the questions and wherever practical assemble the information that you think would be helpful. The support and assistance of the City staff will be provided. cc: Patt Cain Don Schmeiser Chuck Schmadeke City Council bj/pc2 �v� 9 AIRPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT QUESTIONS 1. What are the exact dimensions and areas of the parcels of land that could be developed? 2. Are there any legal restrictions to leasing the land? (it is assumed the airport cannot sell the land but would be undertaking lease arrangements.) 3. How and what necessary public services would need to be provided to the parcels identified? Estimated cost? Any limitations on the type of development due to the service constraints? 4. How would the service extensions be financed? a 5. Are there any other such developments at other general aviation airports in Iowa? Surrounding states? What types of development were attracted there? How was the development managed? 6. Are there particular industries/firms that might be attracted both to an airport location and to the Iowa City area? Those types of businesses with University linkages or linkages to existing in our area? 7. What types of development would the Airport Commission like to encourage on the land? What kinds of restrictions on development would be necessary (height, use of hazardous materials, use of technologies that may interfere with communications)? These restrictions may vary from parcel to parcel. /707 DRAFT 10/31/88 PAGE 2 B. What are the steps to achieving developable able parcels?

What are the political ramifications of allowing airport land development? Can it be structured so as to not unduly compete with private land? (I feel there is room for a variety of development opportunities, as long as the public agency is not seen as trying to undercut the private sector.) /707 City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: October 26, 1988 To: Terry Timmins, City Attorney From: Dale Helling, Assistant City Manager Re: Recruitment for Assistant City Attorney Based on your discussion with the City Council on October 18, 1988, and thenstatusuofethenrecruitmentnforith thethe Personnel above-referencediposition, Iethought it might be helpful to restate the process the Human Relations Department utilizes for normal recruitment efforts for professional positions. This may assist you in determining how we can help facilitate the process for you. In addition, I would also like to share my concern regarding the direct recruitment process if conducted the way I understand is your intent as you related it to the City Council. The normal process for recruitment is as follows: 1. A Position Vacancy Notice is submitted and approved by the Human Relations Department and the City Manager. A job announcement is prepared by the Human Relations Department and is posted for internal applicants or for internal and external applicants simultaneously. Notice is also sent to those minority organizations which are on our current mailing list as well as to any other individuals or organizations whose names are provided by the hiring authority. Newspaper ads are placed as agreed upon with the hiring authority. Completed applications are returned to the Human Relations Depart- ment. Resumes received in the mail are acknowledged and an applica- tion form is sent to the submitting party with a request that it be returned if the hiring authority wishes to have an application for each individual. 4. Following the deadline applications/resumes are screened by the Human Relations staff. The hiring authority is given all applications (grouped together in batches following a 'rough screen") or is given a limited group of applications screened in detail based on the job requirements and preference. 5. The hiring authority then schedules interviews and proceeds with the hiring process once the deadline for applications has passed and all applications have been reviewed and screened. It is my understanding that numbers one and two above have been completed and position recruitment ads have been placed in the Des Moines Register, The Ouad City Times, and the Omaha World Herald, with all ads and postings requesting that applications be forwarded to the Human Relations Depart- ment. It is also my understanding that, thus far, it has not been '001f determined what role the Human Relations Department will have in the screening process. Human Relations staff is available to further assist you in any way we can. I am concerned about the direct recruitment process only if it serves to 'undermine our normal recruitment processes which, in my opinion, are necessary to ensure our affirmative action efforts and our practices as an equal employment opportunity employer are preserved. I certainly have no problem with recruiting individuals who are known to be qualified for the position and encouraging them to make application in the approved manner and within the posted time frames. However, it is my understanding that you intend to reserve as an option the hiring of an individual who is directly recruited without completing the normal recruitment process. I do not believe that filling this position through direct recruitment without the benefit of the normal recruiting process will meet our Affirmative Action and EEO requirements. You indicated during the Council meeting that the Human Relations Department is responsible for Affirmative Action and EEO efforts. We cannot assume that responsibility if the accepted procedures are not followed. I realize that the final determination involves a legal question and any challenge to this process would necessarily be your responsibility to defend. I simply raise this issue as a concern which I believe should be considered very seriously before proceeding to hire anybody in the absence of completion of the normal recruiting process. tp3-2 cc: City Manager iPersonnel Administrator I City of Iowa city MEMORANDUM Date: November 3, 1988 To: City Council From: John McDonald, Mayor Re: Goal -Setting Session With the holidays and other time constraints, it appears that another goal session cannot be conveniently scheduled for the near future. I feel it would be in our interest to schedule the next session after the January election and include the new Councilmember. I will be in touch. SJA/sp/PC-3 cc: City Clerk City Manager /Z , City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM _ i Date: November 3, 1988 To: City Council I From: City Manager Re: Substance Abuse FOver the last several months I have read with interest media accounts of community concern about the issue of substance abuse. Of particular concern for Sheriff's candidates has been their desire to attack the drug problem. Not to diminish the value of the political debate that can often prod the community into addressing a concern, I believe that if we are to undertake any type of expanded community effort in dealing with drug related issues, it needs to be done in a thoughtful and reflective manner and not under the pressure of a political campaign to provide instant solutions. Cooperation of numerous agencies and a commitment by those i agencies to address the issue and sustain the attention to the problem for a long period of time is necessary. The Community Relations Officer that the City is planning to initiate, the School District's drug intervention policy, discussion concerning regulations to reduce excessive drinking, etc. are all issues pertinent to dealing with substance abuse. Again, not to diminish the necessity to deal with this matter, if we are to plan an expanded effort, and I understand the County Board is likely to raise this issue with you at your upcoming joint meeting, it must be done in a fashion to assure a sustained initiative. As this matter continues to unfold, and assuming that it will continue to receive community interest, I would suggest at the very least, that the law enforcement agencies in the community undertake some type of a joint review whereby each can review their current program, how it has succeeded and/or failed, and then jointly discuss these matters amongst themselves and determine what methodologies would be necessary for a more effective use of personnel in attacking our communities' substance abuse problems. Assistance and advice from State law enforcement agencies may also be helpful. 1710 I ■ Page 2 As the law enforcement agencies review their tactics, the numerous drug education and support agencies in the community also could undertake a similar review. I believe that until such time that not only law enforce- ment agencies, but all agencies supporting and promoting efforts to eliminate the problems of drug abuse undertake a review, we will continue to see the competition for resources and separate strategies for dealing with this community concern. At this point I do not have a suggestion as to where we can focus this particular issue other than I believe an assignment of Police personnel, such as an individual to act as a coor- dinating authority, would be helpful to this discussion process. Through this review, we will hopefully set aside personal and turf issues and, at the very least, all parties concerned will understand the efforts and initiatives of the other. Hopefully, we can discuss this matter at a future informal meeting and possibly the City Council could share its interest in this matter with the Johnson County Board, the Coralville City Council, and other agencies following further discussion. bcI-I cc: Chief of Police City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: November 3, 1988 To: Steve Atkins, City Manager n From: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of FinanceV�� Re: Items of Concern on University's Sewer Rate Proposal The University's most recent proposal on a possible payment schedule would permit their annual sewer fee payments to be reduced from last year's payment level down to the payment level proposed by their own contracted rate study. I must first point out that a decision has not been made by the City to accept the revised rate for the University as proposed by their rate study. The following comments are not addressed to that issue. Instead, I am critiquing their proposed payment plan. This payment plan is intended to provide for a reduction of their annual payment and rates over a period of several years rather than an immediate full rate reduction. The recent proposal dated October 21, 1g88, includes two exhibits. Exhibit I is based on the scenario that additional financing would not need to be sold for the current Wastewater Treatment Project. Exhibit II follows basically the same assumptions, however, it has been adjusted to include a financing of $10 million dollars for the Wastewater Treatment Project. I have highlighted below the primary areas of concern I have with each exhibit and the proposed payment schedules. EXHIBIT I PAYMENT ALTERNATIVE I. The assumption is made that income from other customers grows at a rate of 3% per year. Actual historical data indicates a growth rate of up to 1% per year. Based upon projected population increases in future years, I would anticipate that natural growth to the system would occur at a slower rate than demonstrated in past years. In all likelihood this would mean annual growth rates of less than 1% per year. 2. The University's cover letter indicates that the payment schedule would not require "any increase of current rates for other users." If the City does not experience sufficient growth in population or industry to generate a growth in sewer usage of 3% a year, it will be necessary to increase the user rates for other customers under this scenario. Over the full 25 year period this could mean that other users rates would increase by between 58% to 103%, based upon actual growth, while the University rate decrease 30%. 3. The University's proposal is to leave their "contribution" at the 1987-88 payment level for three years and then to reduce it over a 14 year period until they have paid no more than an average rate of $1,030,000 each year for the 17 year period. This would require that the City slowly increase rates for all other customers to offset the annual rate decrease for the University. Their computed annual payment is $1,030,000 but their annual contribution drops as low as $600,000 in year 2004. The problem with this proposal is that for eight years the University pays less than its computed share and other customers must generate additional revenue to make up the difference. This causes larger rate increases than are actually necessary for other customer user rates. This is further illustrated by the way the current income (fund balance) starts to increase in the year 2006. By the end of the 25 year period, we have accumu- lated a fund balance of almost $7 million. 4. The exhibit does not include any inflationary factor to the Univer- sity's annual payment amount. Although their letter mentions adjusting the annual payment amount if the University's load in- creases, an annual adjustment would also be needed for inflationary and increased annual operating costs. The letter mentions working out a safety net if the City experienced a cumulative deficit. This would be difficult to negotiate and could result in the City's losing control over normal operating decisions for the wastewater treatment plant. EXHIBIT II PAYMENT ALTERNATIVE Since the basic assumptions used for this exhibit are similar to those used for Exhibit I, the following comments do not repeat items listed above but only highlight additional problems pointed out as a result of including the assumption that $10 million dollars in bonds has been sold for financing needs. This scenario proposes a rate increase for all other customers be made immediately to cover the additional debt service cost. This rate increase would amount to 24% but would not impact the University immediately as they are not proposing to contribute any additional payment to the system because of this cost. The additional financing does increase their computed annual payment amount but the Univer- sity's payment is not affected for the first three years. The immediate increase of 24% in rates for other customers, mentioned above, further exacerbates the problem of rates being set too high initially and in later years generating more revenue than what is needed. The cumulative income (fund balance) starts growing at a fast clip in the year 1998 and by the end of the 25 year period, we see a fund balance of almost $16 million. The rates for other customers as evidenced by this large fund balance are exorbitantly high. Over the 25 year period the University payments decrease by 16% and, dependent upon growth, rates for other customers increase by 96% to 152%. tp3-3 The University of Iowa Iowa city, Iowa 52242 vice President for Rnar and University services October 21, 1988 The Honorable John McDonald Mayor of Iowa City Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear John: I NT I am writing to move forward our discussions regarding the financing of the Iowa City sewer system which we agreed to continue as part of the Iowa Peace Institute mediation process. In late spring I submitted to you a series of principles which the University offered to make the basis of an agreement which would settle the dispute between us regarding the University's contribution to the Iowa City sewer system. I have enclosed a copy of these principles in order to create a context for the specific proposals which I am sending you today. As you also are aware, in May we received a draft copy of an analysis of the Iowa City's Wastewater Financing System and the treatment of the University within it conducted by Black and Veatch Engineering Consulting firm. We engaged this firm because it is one that both we and the City recognize for their competence in wastewater financing. Following the receipt of Black and Veatch's draft, we gave the City an opportunity to comment on Black and Veatch's assumptions, an opportunity which the City Manager, the City Engineer and the City Clerk took advantage of. Black and Veatch's original assumptions resulted in a conclusion that the University's annual contribution to the City's sewer system should by $965,000, which is $476,000 less than the amount generated by the current rate structure. After receiving the City's comments, Black and Veatch has made final calculations. It is their judgment that the University is currently paying $411,000 more for sewer services than is justified, according to standard norms of wastewater financing systems. The two financial proposals I am sending you are based on the enclosed principles and the Black and Veatch calculation. They propose a mechanism by which we insure the City's ability to repay its bonded indebtedness and maintain the operation of the sewer system while not requiring any increase of current rates for other users. Exhibit I ignores the need to seek additional financing in January. Exhibit II recognizes that possibility and proposes one way of responding. fir Page 2 October 21, 1988 You will I am sure observe that two items included in the "Principles" referred to above are not reflected in the proposed payment schedules. The first is the need to adjust the schedule if the University's share of the system load measurably increases or decreases. We would propose that our load share be calculated annually based on the model used in the Black & Veatch study and our payment adjusted accordingly. The second item not described in the payment schedule would be the "safety net" which the University has committed itself to Provide if the City were to experience a cumulative deficit. We remain committed to providing a safety net, but would like to work out the details of how it would function in the course of negotiations leading to a final settlement of our dispute. As I indicated in our last meeting, these exhibits represent a mechanism for dealing with our dispute which is most favorable to the University, within the parameters set by the principles we have offered to guide us. I anticipate that the City may wish to propose alternative payment schedules as negotiations move forward. The University remains committed to exploring every alternative for arriving at an equitable solution to our dispute. Sincerely,,, Mary J Sf�all Associate Vice President for Finance 6 University Services 1711 9 1 GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR INCLUSION IN SEWER CONTRACT 1. The parties will enter into a contract which will set forth the University's appropriate share of capital costs and appropriate share of operation and maintenance costs over the term of the contract. The contract will include a mechanism for the periodic review, of the University's share of operational and maintenance costs to determine whether the University's share continues to reflect accurately the University's use of the wastewater treatment system. 2. In order to protect the City's ability to repay its bonded indebtedness, the University would agree to the following: a. That in the first year of the contract and for a number of years following to be mutually agreed to, the University would agree to pay an amount for sewer services which results in revenue from the University equivalent to the revenue for those years which would be generated if the University were to pay the City at the rate provided for under the City's current sewer rate ordinance. b. That in a subsequent number of years, the exact number to be mutually agreed to, the University will adjust its annual payment so that over the life of /7I/ 9 Sewer Contract Inclusions Page 2 the contract the University's payments will equal the amount determined under (4) below. i c. That the parties will agree to a maximum percentage by which the University's payments will decrease in any given year. 3. The contract would provide a mechanism whereby, if there is a shortfall in revenues from projected system growth, the University's payments may be adjusted in any given year to ensure the City's ability to meet its bond obligations, provided that during the life of the contract, the University's payments will equal the amount determined under (4) below. 4. The determination of the University's share of both capital costs and operation and maintenance costs will be arrived at by mutual agreement between the parties or with the assistance of a neutral third party, if necessary. 5. In determining the University's appropriate share of both capital costs and operation and maintenance costs, the i Sewer Contract Inclusions Page 3 University will propose that the parties consider the elements of wastewater treatment costs set forth in Financing and Charges for Wastewater Systems published by the Water Pollution Control Federation and in the Black s Veatch study requested by the University. These elements would include items such as prior contributions to system capital i costs, ownership of large and small mains in the collection i system, customer service an administrative costs, as well as costs for treatment of infiltration and inflow to the system. 6. Based upon the parties' agreement to the University's share i of capital costs and of operation and maintenance costs, with provision for periodic adjustment of the latter, the University would agree to be obligated to continue to use the j City's wastewater treatment system for the duration of the contract. The University would also agree to enter into a I long-term contract for a period sufficient to ensure that the City will be able to serve the bonded indebtedness which it has incurred, and may incur in the future, for the presently contemplated improvements to the wastewater treatment system. 7.

Based on City discussions with IDNR, extensive revision to the original Facilities Plan is not required. However, there are some differences between the currently proposed sewer projects and the original Facilities Plan. These differences are addressed in this update. r D IDNR issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI) for the original Facilities Plan. This finding was based on the environmental review contained in the original Facilities Plan. Since that review and FNSI are more than 5 Years old, IDNR requires that the Environmental Review be updated. They will issue a new FNSI if it is appropriate. The Facilities Plan Update and Environmental Review are included in this summary report. The report outlines the proposed sewer projects. SCOPE The specific scope of services for the Facilities Plan Update and Environmental Review are listed below. Facilities Plan Update Specific work tasks for the Facilities Plan Update include the following: 1. Meet with City personnel to discuss the proposed projects and to obtain available information, maps, and reports. 2. Review existing Facilities Plan reports which were completed in the 1970's. 3. Review Metcalf & Eddy (M&E) reports for information regarding the Outfall Sewer, Southeast Interceptor, Benton Street Interceptor, and Sludge Force Main. 4. Contact applicable departments within IDNR and, as required, other regulatory agencies. 5. Summarize service areas, flows, and interceptor sizing. 6. Identify the original Facilities Plan and current plan locations and sizes for the proposed projects. Identify differences between the original and current projects and discuss why changes were made. 7. Prepare a brief document that includes text, maps, and graphics to assist IDNR in review of the project and to provide information for the public hearing. This report will include the major facility plan requirements such as the following: a. Wastewater flows and characteristics b. Existing system C. Existing environmental setting d. Alternatives e. Impact assessment f. Selected plan LJ 9986 2 LJ CA30R n i I The anticipated approach will involve identifying in the existing Facilities Plan and M&E reports where information can be found in detail. A brief summary of this information will be included in the update report. Because the sludge force main was not included in the original facilities plan, the justification of this project will be obtained from the M&E reports. This will include a summary of why Iowa City is using the two plant concept instead of one plant. 8. Summarize existing cost estimates for the proposed projects and identify the grant eligible portions. 9. Develop a milestone schedule for implementation of the proposed projects. 10. Write a preliminary report including text and graphics. 11. Meet with City personnel to review the report. 12. Attend the public hearing that will be held by Iowa City. A summary of the hearing and responses to questions raised at the hearing will be made. 13. Finalize the Facilities Plan Update report and include any applicable comments from the public hearing. 14. Submit the Facilities Plan Update to IDNR for their review. 15. Respond to any comments from IDNR. A meeting with IDNR may be required to expedite their review. 16. Complete required forms for EPA Step III grant funding request and ' construction permit applications. Environmental Review The Environmental Review of the proposed projects will be incorporated into the Facilities Plan Update. The Scope of Services for the Environmental Review includes the following: 1. Review existing Facilities Plan and M&E reports for available information that is applicable to the current projects. 2.

DESCRIPTION OF STUDY AREA The planning area referred to in this report includes Iowa City, University Heights, and the University of Iowa. Iowa City, the county seat of Johnson County, is located in southeast Iowa along the Iowa River. Figure I-1 is a vicinity map showing the location of Iowa City and nearby communities. The University of Iowa is located in the west -central part of the City on both sides of the Iowa River. The University provides educational services for about 25,000 students and is the major employer in the Iowa City area. The University is an important factor in the social, economic and physical development of the City. The University owns and operates a comprehensive water system. However, sanitary sewers serving the University campus discharge to the Iowa City sewer system for treatment at the Iowa City Wastewater Treatment Facilities. 9986 4 CA30R ! 7!p I I U The City of University Heights is an incorporated community located in the west part of Iowa City and is bordered on all sides by Iowa City. Water and sanitary sewerage service is provided to University Heights by Iowa City. The City of Coralville adjoins Iowa City on the north and west. Coralville owns and operates its own water and sanitary sewerage systems. Coralville is not included within the scope of this study. PROJECT SUMMARY The City of Iowa City is responsible for the collection, treatment, and disposal of domestic, commercial, and industrial wastewater generated within its City limits and University Heights. Wastewater treatment is currently being provided by the existing treatment facilities located near the center of the service area. Wastewater is transported to the treatment site by a gravity flow system which utilizes several lift stations. Figure I-2 shows the general Iowa City sanitary sewer service area. To meet future needs for wastewater treatment and disposal, the City of Iowa City has undertaken engineering studies and preparation of construction documents for improvements to both the collection and treatment systems. A considerable engineering effort has been expended since the mid -1970's to assess the needs of the wastewater system and to define an appropriate capital improvements programa This work has involved the combined efforts of several engineering firms and the City engineering and planning staffs. Key elements of these work efforts include: 1. Development of comprehensive Facility Plan that presents results of an Infiltration/Inflow Analysis, Sewer System Evaluation Survey (SSES), and planning needs assessment and recommended plan of action for new wastewater collection and treatment facilities. 2. Phase I, II and III Wastewater Plan Alternative Study that re- evaluated alternatives for wastewater collection and treatment utilizing findings of the Facility Plan. 3.

LJ 9986 CA30R ■ ij SECTION II PROJECT DESCRIPTION GENERAL This Section describes each portion of the current project which is being considered for construction grants funding. The purpose, size, and location of each project sewer presented in this section represents considerable study and alternative evaluation since the mid -1970'x. Moreover, wastewater treatment plant location and process selection are crucial to final layout of trunk and interceptor sewers. Recently, treatment facility location and process selection has been finalized allowing each segment of the sewer project to be selected. The following sewer projects are included in the current proposed improvements and are described below: I. Southeast Interceptor - Snyder Creek Segment 2. Southeast Interceptor - South Ralston Creek Segment Phase 1. 3. Benton Street Interceptor. 4. Outfall Sewer. 5, Sludge Force Main. , The location of each of the above sewers is presented in Figure II -1. PROJECT SEWERS Southeast Interceptor - Snyder Creek Segment The Southeast Interceptor System is needed to bring wastewater flows from the east and southeast part of Iowa City to the South Wastewater Treatment Plant, It will remove a considerable amount of flow currently entering the existing Outfall Relief System (see Figure III -1) and convey these flows by gravity to the new South Wastewater Treatment Plant. Under this plan, the need for the existing Pine Street and Lakeside Lift Stations to convey flow has been eliminated. In concept, this layout is very similar to the recommended plan presented in the original Facility Plan. Differences occur in the current pipe route and size due to change in location of the South Wastewater Treatment Plant, differences in design flow rates, and identifying a more direct route to the wastewater treatment plant that lessens the length of new sewer. The current layout requires the continued use of two existing lift stations (Heinz and Village Green) that were to be eliminated under the original Facility Plan. 9986 9 CA30R 7 L Ls O wv "m O NIC I PAL �l I II> VO �•' C` ` $ 11 �� lpv;4 �•� SOg �ITHEASTINTERCEPT Rf: p�pb - i`� .,SNYDER CREEK SEGMENT..(, 4• v ,J t SLUDGE F.

Future Connection 12 619 Connect to Existing/Future 10 270 Connect to Existing 8 15 Connect to Existing In addition, abandonment of the Pine Street and Lakeside Lift Station is included in this project. The downstream end of this sewer is located at the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. In general, a northerly route is followed upstream from the wastewater treatment plant through undeveloped agricultural land and along the west side of Bon Aire Mobile Home Park to Highway 6. The route extends west past the Lakeside Lift Station, north along the east side of Proctor and Gamble, west along the railroad tracks and north along Sixth Avenue to Creekside Park where this project terminates. Except along Sixth Avenue, little pavement restoration work is required. The entire Snyder Creek Segment is considered eligible for construction grant funding. Southeast Interceptor - South Ralston Creek Segment Phase I This project is a regional trunk sewer extension of the Southeast Interceptor - Snyder Creek Section. Its immediate purpose is to convey excess wet weather flows currently handled by the overloaded Southeast Trunk which is along the South Branch of Ralston Creek and Friendship Street. According to the Facility Plan, surcharged conditions and basement backups will be eliminated. Anticipated future development along the east side of Iowa City will also be carried by this sewer. The sewer route parallels the South Branch of Ralston Creek and Friendship Street for its entire length. The downstream end connects to the Southeast Interceptor - Snyder Creek Segment and the upstream end of the sewer connects to the existing system at Arbor Drive. The sewer is comprised of 4,430 feet of 54 -inch, 450 feet of 48 -inch, 477 feet of 30 -inch diameter pipe and 1,515 9986 10 CA30R �1 i 0 J feet of pipe ranging in size from 12 -inch to 24 -inch in diameter. Short lengths of smaller diameter pipes are included in the project as needed to connect to the existing sanitary sewer system. Most of the route is along Ralston Creek and requires little pavement restoration. However, pavement restoration is required on the portion of the route along Friendship Street. Benton Street Interceptor The purpose and size of this sewer has not changed but the route has changed slightly since it was first proposed in the original Facility Plan. The findings of the Facility Plan showed that the existing 12 -inch diameter University Heights Trunk Sewer does not have adequate capacity to convey flow from University Heights to the East Side Trunk in Iowa City. Septic tank and sewer back-ups that occur in the area will be eliminated by installing 2,835 feet of 18 -inch and 21 -inch relief sewer along Benton Street, Giblin Drive, and the Hartland Rail Corporation railroad tracks. Upstream connection to the existing 12 -inch University Heights Trunk Sewer occurs at Greenwood Drive and the railroad tracks. Downstream connection to the 21 -inch Southwest Interceptor occurs near the Benton Street Bridge which is over the Iowa River. Two short lengths (356 feet) of 8 -inch diameter sewer are included in this project to provide connections to the existing sewers along the relief sewer route. Exact • location and design details for this project are provided in the Benton Street Interceptor Contract Drawings. The installation of the Benton Street Interceptor will be coordinated with construction of a new culvert and widening of Benton Street. The culvert and street widening project are eligible for community block grant funding. Costs associated with sanitary sewer construction that are eligible for EPA construction grants funding include the pipe, connections to the existing system, manholes, trench excavation and backfill, and surface restoration within the normal limits of sanitary sewer construction activities. A breakdown of grant eligible costs is provided in Section V. Outfall Sewer This pipe is to be used to transport effluent from the South Wastewater Treatment Plant facilities to the Iowa River where it is discharged. The location of the Outfall Sewer is dependent on the location of the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. The 1986 Wastewater Plan: Basic Project Development Report finalized the site of the treatment facilities through an alternative 9986 11 CA30R 0 L.J II site selection process. The Outfall Sewer follows the most feasible route from the South Wastewater Treatment Plant site to the discharge point on the Iowa River. Approximately 4,550 feet of 60 -inch diameter pipe is required from the South Wastewater Treatment Plant to the Iowa River. The outfall structure at the river is also part of this project. Sludge Force Main The need for this pipe was recently established when final process selection for the North and South Wastewater Treatment Plant was determined. Although sludge transfer from the North Wastewater Treatment Plant to the South Wastewater Treatment Plant was not part of the original Facility Plan recommendations, it was determined later that transfer of sludge to the South Wastewater Treatment Plant is a desirable alternative. Based on expected sludge volumes to be generated at the North Wastewater Treatment Plant and anticipated pumping capacities; it was determined that the sludge force main would be 8 inches in diameter. The location of the pipe is tentative since design activities are not complete. The proposed route, as shown on Figure II -1, is expected to parallel U.S. Highway 6 from the North Wastewater Treatment Plant to Waterfront Drive (old Sand Road); follow the old Sand Road right-of-way to Sand Road (W66); follow Sand Road (W66) south past the Iowa City corporate boundary; then east and south until it reaches the site of the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. Over 18,000 feet of 8" force main is expected as part of this project. J �J �I SECTION III PROJECT DEVELOPMENT GENERAL This section presents a summary of the engineering and planning studies conducted on the Iowa City Wastewater System Improvements Project since the mid -1970's. Key findings of these efforts are presented since the present plan for new facilities relies heavily on the results of earlier investigations. A detailed write-up of each study is provided in the referenced reports. A discussion on design flows associated with these studies is presented in Section IV. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT Facility Plan The Facility Plan was developed in the mid -1970's. Conducted in accordance with applicable EPA regulations, the Facility Plan included extensive field work to quantify flows and evaluations of alternative collection and treatment schemes. The Facility Plan is divided into three parts which are as follows: 1. Part 1 - Infiltration/Inflow Analysis. 2. Part 2 - Sewer System Evaluation Survey. 3. Part 3 - Complete Waste Treatment System Plan. Part 1 - Infiltration/Inflow Analysis - Field work and analyses included determination of infiltration/inflow (I/I), review of the existing wastewater treatment facilities, and a cost-effectiveness analysis to determine if I/I is excessive or non -excessive. These investigations lead to a preliminary plan for improvements to the wastewater system. These studies conclude: 1. Analyses of wastewater hydrographs indicate that extraneous wastewater flow into the sanitary sewer system is contributed by both infiltration and inflow. 2. Anr-lyses of flows monitored in 40 selected key manholes indicate that many of the major sewers surcharge during both dry and wet weather,periods. Surcharging of major sewers has occurred near the wastewater treatment plant due to plant back-ups and in major sewers and laterals causing basement floodings in the southeast and east part of Iowa City. 9986 13 CA30R 1 0 D 3. Principal inflow sources are catch basins, downspouts, perforated manhole covers, leaky manhole walls, and visible leaky sewers. Principal infiltration sources include footing drain tile and sewer joints. 4. A cost effectiveness analysis comparing costs of transportation and treatment versus costs of sewer system rehabilitation for removing sources of I/I, indicate that it is cost-effective to remove most sources of inflow but infiltration is less costly to transport and treat. S. The existing wastewater treatment plant is not adequate to serve the needs of the City. 6. A new tertiary treatment plant to be constructed south of Iowa City is recommended. The existing plant is to be abandoned. 7. A sewer system evaluation survey program to further define the extent of I/I is recommended. Part Sewer System Evaluation Survey (SSES) - The SSES continued the work initiated by the I/I analysis. It locates sources of infiltration/inflow and determines whether each source located should be removed by. rehabilitation. Work performed included field investigations which involved physical survey, smoke testing, dye water flooding, footing drain tile testing and civic (homeowners) survey, flow monitoring, prepdratory cleaning and television inspection. Work tasks also included infiltration/inflow determination, cost- effectiveness analysis, and development of a rehabilitation program. Key findings of this work include: 1. Infiltration/Inflow sources are estimated to contribute a total peak flow of 109 mgd in the sanitary sewer system, of this total, about 36 mgd of flow is cost-effective to remove by rehabilitation of the system. The sewer rehabilitation portion of this work was completed in 1984. 2. Principal sources of infiltration/inflow that are cost-effective to rehabilitate include removal of downspouts and catch basins and replacement of manhole covers. Footing drain tile are not cost- effective to remove from the system. Part 3 Complete Waste Treatment System Plan - Results from the I/I Analysis and SSES were incorporated into the detailed evaluation of alternatives 9986 14 CA30R iJ I� for new wastewater collection and treatment facilities. A two-step procedure was utilized to arrive at a recommended plan for improvements. The first was to identify a plan for new treatment facilities. The second included development of a plan to improve the existing trunk and interceptor sewer system and to provide needed sewers to transport wastewater to new treatment facilities. Evaluation of alternatives was consistent with grant eligibility requirements and was based on land use considerations, analysis of present worth, environmental impacts, and input from City and citizens committees and groups. Five alternatives for wastewater treatment that were developed and evaluated included: Alternative I - No action plan. Alternative II - Treatment and Discharge - Continued use of the existing plant with new tertiary facilities. Alternative III - Treatment and Discharge - Abandonment of all existing treatment facilities and construction of a new tertiary plant. Alternative IV - Treatment and Reuse. Alternative V - Treatment and Land Application. Alternative III was recommended for implementation. This plan included construction of a new 13 mgd tertiary plant about two miles south of the existing treatment plant. Associated with the selected wastewater treatment plan, an alternative development, evaluation and selection process was conducted for a recommended trunk and interceptor sewer project. Three alternative plans were developed including: Alternative 1 - No Action Plan. Alternative 2 - Interceptor Sewer Plan - includes new interceptor sewers in undeveloped areas to serve the planning area and relieve overloads. Alternative 3 - Relief Sewer Plan - Similar to Alternative 2 but includes relief sewers along existing trunk sewers in developed areas of the city. Evaluation of alternatives showed that Alternative 2 was most cost- effective and has the least impact on the environment. It was chosen as the 9986 15 CA30R !NO- I L recommended plan for implementation. Alternative 2 has many features of the current proposed sewer improvements plan being submitted for construction grants funding and includes: 1. University Heights System (Benton Street Interceptor). 2. Southeast Interceptor System. 3. Outfall System that includes the effluent outfall sewer. In addition, Alternative 2 includes the fo§lowing: 1. The River Corridor System that has subsequently been constructed utilizing construction grant funds. 2. Southwest Interceptor System that called for no near-term construction projects. 3. The Outfall Relief System including rehabilitation of certain segments of existing sewers (completed in 1984). 4. General rehabilitation of the sewer system to reduce I/I (completed in 1984). 5. A portion of the Outfall System that included a large diameter sewer to carry flow from the site of the existing wastewater treatment plant to the site of the proposed plant. A comparison of advantages and disadvantages of each of the three alternatives is presented in Table III.1. Figure III -1 shows the location of new sewers required under the recommended plan. According to the Facility Plan the development plan shown on Figure III -1 is the most feasible and cost-effective alternative for improving the sewer system in the study area. The sewers were sized to convey both existing and future flows to the treatment plant. Because of the high contribution from infiltration/inflow sources that are not cost-effective to remove, staging the construction was not recommended. Provision of larger pipe sizes now is viewed as more cost-effective than providing additional relief sewers 10 to 20 years in the future. Phase I II. and III Wastewater Plan - Alternative Study The three-phase report was developed by Metcalf & Eddy, Inc, and submitted to the City in 1985. The purpose of this study was to re-evaluate the plan for improvements recommended in the Facility Plan. Based on the foundation of the previously completed work, alternative plans for wastewater collection and 9986 16 CA30R 4 r !. '._.) \Z. 1 RIVER CORRIDOR` + . rI: SYSTEM ` .

The wastewater collection system experiences significant peak flow rates as a result of numerous sources of infiltration/inflow. 2. During storm events, large quantities of wastewater are discharged from the collection system without adequate treatment. 3. The existing treatment site has sufficient area to meet 20 -year needs. 4. A significant portion of the service area is located downstream of the existing treatment site. The study process identified 14 alternatives to satisfy several objectives. These objectives include: 1. Providing equivalent secondary treatment for all wastewater flows generated during the design storm event within the 2010 study area. 2. Meeting a 30-30 effluent standard. 3. Relieving current surcharged sewer conditions. 4. Opening new areas in the south and southeast parts of the City for residential, industrial, and commercial development. 5. Providing the City with an expandable system well beyond the twenty- year study period. The 14 alternatives include a range of wastewater collection/treatment schemes. While each of the alternatives have unique. features, there are similarities between various alternatives that result in identification of four major groups of alternatives. The groups are based on the location of wastewater treatment facilities and are as follows: Group 1 - A new treatment facility and abandonment of the existing site (Alternatives 1, 1A). This group of alternatives is very similar to the recommended plan presented in the Facility Plan. Group 2 - Satellite facilities (Alternatives 2, 6, 7, 11). Group 3 - Use of existing facilities (Alternatives 8, 9, 9A). Group 4 - Combinations of existing and new treatment facilities (Alternatives 3, 4, 5, 5A, 10). During Phase I, each alternative was described in detail, cost estimates prepared and advantages/disadvantages developed. Table III.2 presents the Phase I alternatives and key features of each. From these families of alternatives, 9986 18 CA30R Expand existing WWTP to treat dry/wet weather flows New Sand Road WWTP to treat East and SE regional flows.

One of the main reasons for selecting -Alternative 11 was its greater flexibility in responding to future changes in growth patterns or possible changes in effluent standards. Detailed description of the collection/ transportation and treatment systems associated with the recommended plan is Jprovided in Chapter VI of the Wastewater Plan - Alternative Study Phase III. Wastewater Plan; Basic Project Development Report This report studied two parts of the recommended Alternative 11 plan that v effect the concept for the p proposed sewers. They include the following: n 1. Site selection for the new South Wastewater Treatment Plant. sludge plant s 2. Evaluation of wastewater treatment y P g processing alternatives. The first part of the Basic Project Development Report was an extensive site evaluation study to determine the location of the South Wastewater r^ Treatment Plant. Consistent with the concept of Alternative 11, two sites south of Iowa City and east of Sand Road were considered. Site 1 is located in the northwest quarter of Section 26, East Lucas Township and Site 2 is located in the northeast quarter of Section 35, East Lucas Township. After considering a number of siting factors, it was determined that Site 2 should be recommended for acquisition and development of the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. Site 2 is the current location of the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. Until Site 2 was selected, location of the Southeast Interceptor sewer and Outfall Sewer routes serving the South Wastewater Treatment Plant could not be finalized. With this report, the final routing of sewers associated with the South Wastewater Treatment Plant was established. J The second part of this report investigated the sludge processing recommendations of the Phase III report in greater detail. The initial plan included mechanical dewatering on-site at the North Wastewater Treatment Plant ,.� with truck transportation to ultimate disposal. This concept was presented in the Phase III report and was based on preliminary construction costs, projected operations costs, and an initial sludge disposal plan. Further investigation ;r in 1986 considered a number of additional important selection criteria. Although construction of a dewatering facility at the North Wastewater Treatment J9986 25 CA30R 170 9 Plant was the least costly alternative, it was recommended that all sludge processing facilities be located at the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. The factors supporting this recommendation include the following: 1. Elimination of sludge processing facilities at the North Wastewater Treatment Plant would consolidate all sludge operations at one location. This would allow greater flexibility in manpower scheduling during vacations and illnesses. 2. Elimination of handling the wastewater treatment plant sludge twice. 3. Elimination of having to delay sludge processing at the South Wastewater Treatment Plant until the lagooned digested sludge consolidates. 4. Elimination of transporting wastewater treatment plant dewatered sludge through the southern portion of the City to the South Wastewater Treatment Plant'by dump trucks. This also removes the potential hazards involved with spills and potential complaints concerning odors. 5. Elimination of need for dump trucks and operators to haul dewatered sludge to the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. 6. Elimination of sludge lagoons and annual lagoon cleaning contracts at the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. 7. With the possible future abandonment of the North Wastewater Treatment Plant site, construction of dewatering facilities at the South Wastewater Treatment Plant would allow potential utilization beyond 20 years. By eliminating dewatering facilities at the North Wastewater Treatment Plant, digested sludge generated at the North Wastewater Treatment Plant must be pumped to the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. This will require construction of a pumping station, force main, and holding tank. The force main will include over 18,000 feet of 8 -inch diameter pressure pipe. Most of the route will follow the existing and old Sand Road right-of- way as shown on Figure II -1. Two 385 gpm constant speed sludge transfer pumps will be utilized. Selection of Final Sewer Routes After completion of the Basic Project Development Report, final adjustments in sewer routes and sizes were made. These refinements were made primarily to 9986 26 CA30R / 764 4.J J accommodate local conditions of available slope, physical routing constraints, and decreased costs. Contract Drawings listed in Section I show the exact location of each of the project sewers. The decisions leading to the final routing and sizes for each segment of the project sewers follow: 1. Southeast Interceptor - Snyder Creek Segment. The routing and size of the interceptor follow the concept presented in the Facility Plan. A shorter, more direct route between the South Wastewater Treatment Plant and the railroad track north of Proctor and Gamble (see Figure II -1) was selected over the proposed route in the Facility Plan (see Figure III -1). A considerable savings in construction costs results since significantly less 60 -inch interceptor sewer is required. Additional savings occur by keeping the Village Green and Heinz Lift Stations in service, thereby eliminating the need for new 15 -inch and 24 -inch gravity sewers called for in the Facility Plan. In addition to these cost savings, less disruption to area streets, businesses, and environment result from the revised newer route. 2. Southeast Interceptor - South Ralston Creek Segment Phase 1. This sewer follows the same route shown in the Facility Plan. Recent hydraulic modelling of the South Ralston Creek area sewers (see Section IV) show that extensive sewer surcharging and basement flooding occurs due to excessive I/I. This modelling was based on actual storm events and measured values. This modelling effort identified a need to extend the South Ralston Creek Segment east of the limit shown in the Facility Plan to relieve surcharging. The size of the sewer was increased to 48 inches and 54 inches to carry this wet weather flow and to carry anticipated flow from new development to the east. 3. Benton Street Interceptor. The current route is modified slightly from the route presented in the Facility Plan. During detailed design, the current route was found to be more desirable since it calls for less expensive construction by paralleling the railroad tracks on the north side instead of the south side. The current size is consistent with the size presented in the Facility Plan. 9986 27 CA30R ...... . ..... .... - ......... I n 0 9986 CA30R 4. Outfall Sewer. The Outfall Sewer follows nearly a direct route between the South Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Iowa River. The route follows the closest available easements or right-of-ways without traversing the Pleasant Valley Golf Course. This route was selected once the exact location of the South Wastewater Treatment Plant was determined in the Basic Project Development Report. The Outfall Sewer was downsized from an 84 -inch diameter pipe in the original Facility Plan to a 54 -inch diameter pipe as a result of extensive computer modelling by Metcalf & Eddy in 1988. This work showed that a 54 -inch diameter pipe has sufficient capacity to keep the dechlorination tank from overflowing during a 100 -year flood event with a plant loading of 34 mgd. The size has been increased to 60 -inch diameter based on work undertaken by the City. Generally, the 60 -inch outfall sewer can carry about one-half of the ultimate plant capacity. Eventually, there will be two 60 -inch sewers instead of one 54 -inch and one 66 -inch or 72 -inch. 5. Sludge Force Main. No further adjustment of the route or size of this pipe has occurred since the Basic Project Development Report. 28 I 'r - LJ 5' U 0 9986 CA30R 4. Outfall Sewer.

The Facility Plan identified large amounts of excess wet weather flow that enter the sanitary sewer system from various infiltration/inflow sources. The SSES flow monitoring and evaluation efforts quantified the amount of I/I entering the sanitary system. Some excess I/I reduction resulted from completed sanitary sewer rehabilitation recommended in the Facility Plan. However, it was determined that it was more cost-effective to transport and treat I/I from footing drains and leaking basements than to remove these sources of flow from the system. Wastewater flows anticipated in 2000 and 2030 were also projected in the Facility Plan. Subsequent engineering efforts by Metcalf & Eddy and by the City refined the anticipated wastewater flow rates carried by project interceptors to the two wastewater treatment plants. These refinements were made as the project evolved and as additional information became available. A number of factors that influenced projections of wastewater flow in the proposed sewers include the following: 1. Location of the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. 2. Change in expected development in fringe areas of Iowa City. 3. Computer modelling of wet weather conditions based on recent rainfall events. 4. Modified design criteria. A summary of wastewater flows as they have been developed since the mid - 1970's is presented below. The current design flow rates for each of the project sewers is provided.

Average Dry Weather (ADW) flow is the daily average flow when the J groundwater is at or near normal and runoff is not occurring. The period of measurement for this flow should extend for as long as _) favorable conditions exist up to 30 days if possible. 2. Average Wet Weather (AWW) flow is the daily average flow for the '—� wettest 30 consecutive days. 3. Maximum Wet Weather (MWW) flow is the total maximum flow received during any 24-hour period when the groundwater is high and runoff is occurring. 4. Peak Hourly Wet Weather (PHWW) flow is the total maximum flow received during one hour when the groundwater is high, runoff is occurring, and the domestic, commercial and industrial flows are at their peak.

Table IV -1 summarizes I/I flows for each service area that were previously shown on Figure I-2. This data is based on the SSES Jstudy. Table IV -2 presents the ultimate design flows by service areas that was included in the 1979 Facilities Plan report. This data was used to size j the Benton Street Interceptor. Table IV -3 shows the evolution of design flow J rates that were presented in various reports. The Facilities Plan indicates that the total estimated wastewater flow was J 121.03 mgd including 109.371 mgd from I/I sources. After rehabilitation of the sewer system, the total peak flow was estimated to be 84.994 mgd with 73.330 mgd ;J originating from I/I sources. An estimate of ultimate design flow from Table IV -2 shows that 146.81 mgd is expected in the planning area assuming that identified inflow sources are removed.

Taking into account a population increase of 14,350 people and increases in wastewater contributed from University, industrial, and governmental sources, the peak hour wet weather flow should increase from 84.994 mgd to 92.033 mgd. A slight adjustment in system -wide year 2010 design flow rate to 92.50 mgd is presented in the 1986 Basic Project Development Report. This change was prompted by a re-evaluation of domestic flow due to updated population figures and an increase in expected industrial flow. This report also presents an allocation of the year 2010 design flow between the North and South Wastewater Treatment Plant. Peak hour wet weather flow splits allocate 39.43 mgd to the South Wastewater Treatment Plant and 53.07 mgd to North Wastewater Treatment Plant. A further refinement in both the total system -wide flow rate and how the flow is allocated between the North and South Wastewater Treatment Plants is presented in the 1986/1987 Wastewater Treatment Plant Design Outlines, A total year 2010 design flow rate of 93,10 mgd is presented, The South Wastewater Treatment Plant is expected to receive 32.50 mgd and the North Wastewater Treatment Plant 60,60 mgd according to these reports. The flow numbers presented in the Design Outlines represent the final values utilized for detailed design of the wastewater collection system and treatment plant facilities. Project Sewer Design..Flow Rates The Facility Plan identifies important sanitary sewer minimum design standards adopted by the IDEQ (now IDNR). Among these are; 1, Sewer system design shall consider the estimated ultimate tributary Population except in considering parts of the system that can be readily increased in capacity. Similarly, consideration shall be given to the maximum anticipated capacity of institutions and industrial parks, etc. Laterals and submains shall be designed for estimated ultimate development. 2. The design of trunks and interceptors shall take into consideration a reasonable planning period and cost-effectiveness. When the project does not provide for the ultimate capacity, a report detailing a plan for providing the ultimate capacity shall be developed. 9986 CA30R 34 L1 7 Design flows for the sewers being considered for construction grant funding were computed based on a reasonable ultimate development scenario. A brief description of how these flows were developed is presented for each segment of the grant eligible sewers. Southeast Interceptor System Some undeveloped land within the city limits to the south and a considerable amount of undeveloped land outside the city limits to the east is included as tributary areas likely to be developed within the design life of the sewer. Although the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan Update does not recognize development east of Scott Boulevard within its long range planning forecasts (15 years), the City considers this land a potential residential development area within a 40 -year planning period. Detailed computations by the City engineering staff that route wastewater from tributary service areas into the Southeast Interceptor Sewer are presented in Appendix A. These computations show that 80.18 mgd is transported to the South Wastewater Treatment Plant by the Southeast Interceptor System during peak flows. This includes I/I and contributions from expected growth development areas. Initial, computations by the City and values shown in the South Wastewater Treatment Plant Design Outline presented a considerably larger influent flow. However, this included a contribution of flow from areas to the south and southeast outside City limits that cannot reasonably be expected to develop within the 40 -year planning period for the sewer. Design criteria used by the City for the calculations in Appendix A are derived from two sources. They include: 1. Computer modelling efforts conducted in the Ralston Creek Segment by ME in 1986. This modelling effort utilized rainfall data from two major storm events (5 and 7 year return events) to determine the resulting quantity of excess flow reaching the sanitary sewers in the area. Close agreement between modelled and actual flow measurements was accomplished. Based on the assumption that 258 of the homes in the area have footing drain tiles, 16.1 gpm enters the sewer per contributing home or 4.03 gpm/home when applied to all homes in the area. 2. Data from the Facility Plan and the City. The Facility Plan estimates footing tile flows at 7 gpm per home for about 506 of the homes and 9986 35 CA30R I I J basement leakage at 2 gpm per home for about 258 of the homes. Total excess I/I flow from these sources was estimated to be 62.76 mgd in the Facility Plan. With an estimate of 11,000± homes in Iowa City in the late 1970's „the overall average would be approximately 4 gpm or 5,760 gpm is contributed on a per home basis. An important IDNR criteria in determining the grant eligible portion of an interceptor is calculation of the point along its route where the interceptor handles 50 percent of its ultimate design flow measured at the wastewater treatment plant. Table IV -4 provides a summary of the calculations and indicates where along the interceptor route tributary flows are introduced. Table IV -4 indicates that 50 percent of the total flow criteria occurs at Sta. 24+67 of the South Ralston Creek Segment Phase I. All stationing in Table IV -4 relates to stationing found on the 1988 Contract Drawings for the Snyder Creek and South Ralston Creek Segments of the Southeast Interceptor System. Benton Street Interceptor Results of the Facility Plan provide the best available flow information for the Benton Street Interceptor (University Heights System). Flow monitoring results and estimates 'of wastewater flows after rehabilitation indicate that sewer capacity for 6.5 mgd must be provided. (See Table IV -2 for design flow in Service Area 12 and part of 11.) The existing 12 -inch diameter pipe has a capacity of 0.9 to 2.3 mgd depending on its slope. The proposed 21- and 18 -inch diameter interceptor shown on the 1988 Contract Drawings is designed to handle the remaining wastewater flow and is consistent with the recommendations presented in the Facility Plan. Outfall Sewer The 1986 South Wastewater Treatment Plant Design Outline establishes the basis for flow for the Outfall Sewer. A table in the Design Outline that presents basic design data shows an initial rate of 27.0 mgd and a year 2010 peak hour wet weather flow of 32.5 mgd. Calculations by the City that incorporate data from recent I/I computer modelling efforts show that an initial rate of 28.3 mgd is likely. The influent pump station has an installed capacity of 46 mgd with a firm capacity of 34 mgd, 9986 36 CA30R i r+ TABLE IV -4 DESIGN WASTEWATER FLOWS SOUTHEAST INTERCEPTOR SYSTEM Tributary Cumulative Percent Design Design of Total I Station(1) Segment(l) Flow Flow Design Flow (mgd) (mgd) (�) r -i 29+74 to 24+67 So.

(2) All sewers from this section downstream to WWTP are grant eligible. LJ The pumping facilities include adequate firm capacity to pump the incoming interceptor 20 -year peak design flows to either the wastewater treatment plant process train or the flow equalization basins. The flows to the basins will be held for processing when incoming flow rates return to less than the 12 mgd peak capacity of the plant. If incoming flow rates do not subside and the design year volumes have filled the basins, excess flows can continue to be pumped from the interceptor to the basins and the basins can overflow to the outfall sewer in accordance with the IDNR standards. The design of the Outfall Sewer is based on a theoretical hydraulic loading of 34 mgd, Detailed computer modelling by M&E shows that a 54 -inch diameter outfall pipe can handle the design flow without overflowing the dechlorination tank during a 100 -year flood event that would occur in the Iowa River. However, 9986 37 CA30R I to better accommodate future expansion of the wastewater treatment facilities, j a 60 -inch diameter outfall pipe has been recommended by the City. Sludge Force Main j The design flow rate for transfer of sludge from the North Wastewater Treatment Plant to the South Wastewater Treatment Plant is presented in the 1988 Specifications for the North Wastewater Treatment Plant. This document provides basic design data for the sludge transfer pumps. Installed capacity is 770 gpm with firm capacity of 385 gpm at 460 feet TDH. Preliminary design calls for an 8 -inch diameter force main to be installed between the two treatment plants. 9986 CA30R 38 I.i I SECTION V GRANT ELIGIBLE COSTS GENERA Costs associated with construction of grant eligible sewers are presented in this section. Costs for the gravity sewers are based on cost estimates developed as part of the detailed design of these sewers. Cost of the sludge force main is a preliminary estimate provided by the City. Detailed cost for this pipe will become available once final design is complete. The grant eligible cost breakdown is provided in this section. The amount of potential funds available to the City by appropriation of Federal and State construction grant monies is calculated based on two allocation scenarios. The effect of funding the local share of the sewer on individual homeowners sewer use charges has been estimated. Eligible Projects Table V-1 identifies which projects are eligible for construction grants funding. This table shows that the entire Southeast Interceptor - Snyder Creek Segment, the Outfall -Sewer, and the Sludge Force Main are considered eligible. Only the portion of the Southeast Interceptor - South Ralston Creek Phase I that conveys more than 508 of the design flow measured at the South Wastewater Treatment Plant is considered eligible. The Benton Street Interceptor project has three major components. They include: 1. 18-inch/21-inch diameter sanitary interceptor sewer. 2. Large diameter storm sewer culvert. 3. Benton Street widening. Construction activities associated with installation of the sanitary sewer are considered EPA grant eligible. The storm culvert and street widening projects are being considered for community block grant funding. Total project costs allocated to sanitary sewer construction along Benton Street are computed based on normal trench excavation, pipe installation, and surface restoration for this size and depth of sewer required. Pavement removal and replacement costs were determined for a width equal to the top width of the trench plus two feet. Trench width at the surface was determined by using a 1:1 sloping sidewall starting at a point one foot above the top of the pipe.

The Benton Street Interceptor project has three major components. They include: 1. 18-inch/21-inch diameter sanitary interceptor sewer. 2. Large diameter storm sewer culvert. 3. Benton Street widening. Construction activities associated with installation of the sanitary sewer are considered EPA grant eligible. The storm culvert and street widening projects are being considered for community block grant funding. Total project costs allocated to sanitary sewer construction along Benton Street are computed based on normal trench excavation, pipe installation, and surface restoration for this size and depth of sewer required. Pavement removal and replacement costs were determined for a width equal to the top width of the trench plus two feet. Trench width at the surface was determined by using a 1:1 sloping sidewall starting at a point one foot above the top of the pipe.

None of the Southeast Interceptor - South Ralston Creek Phase II sewer is i grant eligible. This sewer conveys less than 508 of the design flow measured at the South Wastewater Treatment Plant. I. Grant Eligible Funds IDNR and EPA will make a determination on the amount of grant eligible funds to be awarded to the City for construction of the sewers. The State and Federal review of the project will identify an acceptable planning period for ! calculation of reserve capacity and an approved level of grant appropriations. Two funding allocation scenarios that define the range of possible choices for this project are presented below. The include: 1. Grant eligible funds available when project costs are computed based on a 40 -year reserve sewer capacity. j 2. Computation of costs based on no reserve sewer capacity. The portion of the total project costs that are considered grant eligible based on the -two allocation scenarios is presented in Table V-1. Table V-1 shows that of the $10,380,000 total project cost, $9,160,000 is eligible under the 40 -year reserve capacity and $6,504,000 is eligible under the no reserve capacity scenarios, respectively. Grant eligibility criteria are presented in EPA Construction Grants 1985 (EPA 430/9-84-004) and IDNR procedure manuals. If EPA awarded a Step 3 grant for an interceptor segment before December 29, 1981, additional grants may be awarded for the remaining segments included - in the facilities plan with reserve capacity, as planned, up to 40 years. - Construction of the River Corridor Sewer was supported by EPA Step 3 grant i #C190830-02 prior to December 29, 1981. This interceptor was recommended for installation in the Facility Plan. It is reasonable to expect all current project gravity sewers to be considered for 40 -year reserve capacity calculations. Although each of these I sewers has changed in location or size since the Facility Plan was written, the need and concept for each gravity sewer is consistent with the findings of the Facility Plan. The concept of the sludge force main is a recent development not presented in the Facility Plan. Because operation of the sludge pumps is intermittent 9986 41 CA30R I 1 J J J at start-up and in the future, the size of force main does not need to be changed to meet future conditions. The force main size is dependent on capacity and head developed by the pumps. As the sludge load increases with time, the number of pump cycles increases. Total grant eligible project costs associated with 40 -year reserve capacity are allocated on the basis of 558 funding with Federal money (except Benton Street Interceptor which will be funded 758) and 58 State money. The remainder is funded locally. All grant eligible sewer construction costs are appropriated 558 Federal funds and 58 State funds with the difference funded locally if the no reserve capacity scenario applies. Table V-1 presents the breakdown of total project cost paid for by Federal, State and local funds for the two allocation scenarios presented above. Value Engineering (VE) Study A VE study was performed in August 1988 on design aspects of the project sewers. Recommendations for reducing the cost of the project were made as a result of the study. These recommendations are currently being evaluated by the City to determine those that will be implemented. The accuracy of the preliminary cost estimate does not warrant a change in costs presented in Table V-1 at this time. Costs may be adjusted at a later date once a program to implement VE recommendations is defined. Effect on User Charges The local share of costs associated with sewer construction will be funded through sewer revenue bonds. Revenue bonds are currently being issued for 26 years with an interest rate that varies from 7.68 to 7.88 over the bonding period. The effect of these bond conditions on cost allocations and rate structures will require considerable study. These studies should be done when sewer construction costs and amounts to be financed are more accurately determined once contracts are let. A preliminary estimate on the effect of financing the local share with sewer user rates has been made. The local share for both the 40 -year reserve capacity and no -reserve capacity scenarios are used for computing the cost to an individual user. For calculation purposes, an interest rate of 88 is used for determining the annual cost to retire the bond debt. An estimate of $20,000 was utilized 9986 42 CA30R r - 11 to represent the additional annual operation and maintenance costs expected with the new sewers. The annual cost for debt service and operation and maintenance for new sewers is as follows: . New Debt Service O&M Total 40 -year reserve capacity $440,000 $20,000 $460,000 No reserve capacity $596,000 $20,000 $616,000 Water usage at Iowa City was estimated to be 70 gallons per capita per day in the Facility Plan. Using this per capita usage and a connected population of 52,000± people, the following monthly costs would be assessed to u 11 to represent the additional annual operation and maintenance costs expected with the new sewers. The annual cost for debt service and operation and maintenance for new sewers is as follows: . New Debt Service O&M Total 40 -year reserve capacity $440,000 $20,000 $460,000 No reserve capacity $596,000 $20,000 $616,000 Water usage at Iowa City was estimated to be 70 gallons per capita per day in the Facility Plan. Using this per capita usage and a connected population of 52,000± people, the following monthly costs would be assessed to pay for the local share of costs for the new sewers: Family Size 4 3 2 40 -year reserve capacity $2.95 $2.21 $1.48 No reserve capacity $3.96 $2.97 $1.98 9986 43 CA30R I SECTION VI ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW GENERAL The environmental review presented below is for the currently proposed sewer projects. The environmental setting and the environmental impacts are briefly summarized. An environmental review was presented in the Facility Plan for the then recommended plan for improvements to the wastewater treatment and collection system. That review was written to address impacts of the construction projects originally proposed in the 1970's. In an effort by the City to secure possible grant funding for the project, that review was considered by the offices of IDEQ (now IDNR) and EPA. It was determined that the projects had no significant impact by issuing a FNSI (Finding of No Significant Impact) in 1980. Although information in the Facility Plan is more than ten years old, much of the environmental setting and impact assessment is still valid. Moreover, the current proposal for sewer projects has not significantly changed in location and/or size since the Facility Plan was submitted for approval. This environmental review will summarize the pertinent information contained in the original Facility Plan and provfde an update to that information where conditions have changed. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The environmental setting describes the existing environmental conditions in the Iowa City sewer project area. This description provides baseline data against which environmental impacts of the alternatives can be compared. While all environmental elements required by the National Environmental Policy Act should be addressed, greater in-depth discussions are provided for those elements for which impacts are expected to be the most significant. Sewer installation results primarily in temporary changes involving significant construction activity. Therefore, the environmental setting addresses those elements of the environment likely to be impacted by construction (i.e.; air quality, noise, groundwater, etc.) in greater detail than other elements. Physical Elements Climate - The climate of the study area is characterized by seasonal contrasts and highly variable weather typical of the humid continental region. 9986 44 CA30R 17 _.J in 1 J The average yearly temperature is 49.4°F. The average temperature for individual months varies from 23-F in January to 75°F in July. The variation in extremes is 132°F, from the extreme low of -23°F to the record high of 109°F. Precipitation averages about 32.7 inches annually, but the variation is great. The average seasonal snowfall is approximately 28 inches per year but is also variable. Summer winds are commonly from the southern quadrant, dominated by tropical air masses from the Gulf of Mexico. Polar air masses from the north- northwest are typical during the winter months. Noise Levels - Noise levels along the proposed sewer routes have not been measured. Urban areas of the project are subject to normal residential traffic noise with more intense noise levels along the heavily travelled portions of U.S. Highway 6 near the project site. Portions of the project through agricultural land are subject to very little background noise. Iowa City has adopted a noise oYdinance (Chapter 24.4 of Ordinance No. 82-3076) that effects any construction activities conducted within the corporate limits of the City. The ordinance exempts noise levels generated by construction activities between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Air Quality - Table VI -1 presents air quality data from various study area monitoring stations. This data shows that air quality in the Iowa City area is generally in compliance with state standards. Only an occasional violation of the standards for suspended solids and ozone have been reported. Geology - The bedrock of the study area is composed of a surface layer of sedimentary rock including limestones, dolomites and shales, underlain by older dolomites, sandstones, limestones and shales. The bedrock is generally not visible in the study area, except at the steep slopes that occur along the walls of the Iowa River valley in the north part of the City. Soils - Over the bedrock formations are materials of glacial origin from the Kansan drift. Wind blown particles or loessial materials generally cover the glacial deposits and form the parent material of the upland soils of the area. The loess deposits are generally 10 to 15 feet in depth throughout the study area. Within the floodplains of the river and its tributary streams, alluvial materials have covered or displaced the loess and glacial deposits. These materials are water deposited and consist primarily of silt, sand and gravel. 9986 45 CA30R TABLE VI -1 AIR QUALITY MONITORING LEVELS IN IOWA CITY *Insufficient data to use as annual statistic.

Source: Iowa Department of Natural Resources 9986 CA30R 46 f I° Four soil associations are predominant along the sewer routes. According to the 1983 Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey of Johnson County, these include: Fayette -Downs, Tama -Downs, Tama-Garwin-Muscatine, and Nodaway-Lawson- Waukee. A description of these associations, shown on Figure VI -1, follows: Fayette -Downs Association - This association is comprised of well drained soils formed in loess on gentle to very steep slopes. These soils are found on connected ridgetops and on sideslopes, characterized by drainageways and streams which form fingerlike networks throughout the area. Limestone outcrops in a few places, especially in those areas adjacent to major streams. Slopes range from 2 to 40 percent. The gently sloping areas are suited to row crops but the steeper slopes are subject to erosion. The steeper Fayette soils are better suited to permanent pasture or woodland. The main concerns of management are controlling water erosion and maintaining tilth and fertility. Tama -Downs Association - This association occurs on gently sloping to strongly sloping, well drained soils formed in loess. It is found on broad, upland ridgetops and on long sideslopes that are dissected by many drainageways. Slopes range from 2 to 14 percent. The gently sloping areas of Tama soils are well suited to row crops, but the more sloping areas of Tama and Downs soils are susceptible to erosion. Tama-Garwin-Muscatine Association - This association occurs on nearly level to moderately sloping, well drained, poorly drained, and somewhat poorly drained soils formed in loess. These soils can be found on broad upland ridgetops and on sideslopes. Waterways throughout this association are smooth and broad. Slopes range from 0 to 9 percent. The major soils of this association are well suited to row crops. Controlling soil erosion and providing drainage tile in the more poorly drained areas are the main management concerns. Nodaway-Lawson-Waukee Association - This association is formed in nearly level, well drained to somewhat poorly drained soils formed in silty or loamy alluvium. This association consists of silty, sandy, or loamy soils on low stream benches and bottom lands. Slopes range from 0 to 2 percent. The main concerns of management for soils in the bottom lands are the hazard of flooding, the high water table, and droughtiness in areas that are sandy. On the benches, the main concerns are droughtiness, the fluctuating water table, and maintaining soil tilth and fertility. 9986 47 CA30R Field investigations by City personnel have indicated that many sanitary sewers in the east and southeast part of Iowa City have been constructed within a sandy subsoil stratum. The approximate location of the sand stratum is shown on Figure VI -1. The sewers in the area where sandy subsoil conditions exist range in depth from 8 to 18 feet. Some sewers have been constructed in rock, particularly in the northeast part of the City. Tono¢raohv - Topography of the study area varies from hilly to steep uplands in the north, northeast and east parts of the City, to the level and - - slightly undulating bottomlands and valleys of the Iowa River and its tributaries. Most of the sewer route areas include topography that is gently rolling to rolling with slopes ranging from 2 to 13 percent. Elevations along the sewer routes vary from about 730 feet above mean sea level in the northeast to about 630 feet above mean sea level along the Iowa River in the south part of the study area. Hydrologic Elements Surface Water - The principal drainage course in the study area is the i Iowa River. The Iowa River flows in a general north -south direction through the center of Iowa City and drains approximately 3,280 square miles upstream from Iowa City. Principal streams in the study area that are tributary to the Iowa River include Ralston Creek, Snyder Creek, Rapid Creek and Clear Creek. Only Ralston i Creek and Snyder Creek are impacted by the proposed sewer project. Ralston Creek, a mostly urban watershed, drains the east part of Iowa City and includes a total drainage area of about 9 square miles. Snyder Creek, located in the southeast portion of the study area, drains a total area of about 22 square miles of mostly agricultural land. li Flows in the Iowa River are controlled b the Corps o f En Y p inters b Engineers y i operation of the Coralville Dam. Normal operating procedures call for a minimum j release rate of 100 cfs from Coralville Reservoir. However, during drought the release rate can drop to as low as 75 cfs, Normal release rates vary from j 1,000 to 10,000 cfs with bank full conditions occurring at Iowa City with a flow rate of 8,100 cfs. i Groundwater - Groundwater along the sewer line routes is generally located ; near the ground surface in the lower elevations in the south portion of the project area and along the bottomlands of the Iowa River. In higher terraces, 9986 48 CA30R groundwater is located deeper except for areas of intermittent perched water at the surface. Soil borings taken along the sewer routes in 1988 were measured for water level. Groundwater depths found during the soil boring work are summarized on Figure VI -2. According to the Facility Plan, high groundwater is causing major problems with infiltration/inflow of extraneous water into the sanitary sewer system. This problem is most apparent in the east portion of the collection system where reports of surcharged sewers occur. Water Ouality - The Iowa River is a water quality limited stream throughout most of its length, including the segment through Iowa City. The river is an effluent limited stream from its mouth to the confluence with the Cedar River. The surface water classification of the Iowa River from the mouth, upstream to the Coralville Reservoir is Class A - Primary Body Contact Recreation and Class B (warm water) - Wildlife, Aquatic Life, and Secondary Body Contact. The river is also Classified Class C - Raw Water Source for Potable Water Supply at the University and Iowa City water intake structures. The river from the confluence with Cedar River to the Johnson -Washington County line is designated Class HQR - High Quality Resource for its high level physical beauty. Suspended sediment levels in the Iowa River can vary widely with a reported range of 9 to 4,700 mg/1. -Detailed water quality data for various parameters is available in the Coralville Water Quality Studies Report available from IDNR. water quality data is not presented in this environmental review since the sewer construction project is not expected to introduce pollutants into the surface water system other than suspended solids during construction. No water quality data is available for the smaller Ralston Creek and Snyder Creek watersheds. During periods of rainfall, these streams are expected to experience a rapid rise in pollutant loads as Ralston Creek receives street runoff and Snyder Creek receives agriculture land runoff. Flood Zones - Areas subject to flooding during the 100 -year flood event according to the 1985 Flood Insurance Rate Map, FEMA, are shown on Figure VI -3. Very little change has occurred in the 100 -year flood area since the Facility Plan was originally written. Wetlands - Figure VI -3 shows the location of two wetland areas identified by IDNR. The IDNR wetland inventory identified an area in Sections 25 and 36 of East Lucas Township. This wetland is located outside of the proposed sewer 9986 49 CA30R r I 9 r—• h , .:, �, 9 e » J i FERRY C OS$ING 7 n fl iA r � N l� r l � � �} �� •'� � I t � •_.• yru mh < �f r v Y 'i hC7 ��`� '..

This wetland is estimated to cover an area 1 to 2 acres in size. It is located beyond the 200 -foot wide temporary easement associated with sewer construction activities. Cultivation for soy beans currently extends to the edge of the wetland. Biological Resources Vegetation - Vegetation along the sewer routes includes trees and grasses with some wooded areas present. The southern portion of the Southeast Interceptor -Snyder Creek segment passes through an area dominated by weeds and grasses. The nature of the vegetation and the proximity to cultivated areas and a sewage lagoon system indicate that this area has been disturbed in the recent past. Bottomland woods occur adjacent to the Iowa River. The Outfall Sewer will be constructed across this narrow band of woods to reach the point of discharge into the river. This wooded area is dominated by silver maple and hackberry with black willow and cottonwood present. Other small areas of scattered stands of trees include the northern portion of the Sludge Force Main route, along the railroad track on the Benton Street Interceptor route and along the Ralston Creek Segment of the Southeast Interceptor route. Wildlife - Wildlife in the study area and the Iowa City region include mammals, reptiles, and amphibians typically found in wooded areas and on agricultural lands. Principal game species include white-tailed deer, rabbit, squirrel, quail, and pheasant. There are a variety of birds that are native to the woodlands and agricultural lands in the region. A partial list of birds observed in the study area is included in Appendix B of the Facility Plan. Appendix B also includes a list of mammals typically found in the Iowa City area. Wildlife is predominant in the areas where vegetation is most abundant, including the upland and bottomland woods and old fields. Agricultural lands also provide a limited habitat for certain game and non -game species. Dominant fish species found in the Coralville Reservoir and Iowa River include walleye pike, northern pike, channel catfish, flathead catfish, bluegill, and bullhead. Numerous mussel beds with diverse species are present in the stretch of the river from Iowa City to Gladwin. Appendix B of the 9986 50 CA30R 9 Facility Plan provides a listing of dominant fish species found in the Iowa River and Coralville Reservoir. A biological inventory along Ralston Creek was conducted by McDonald Research, Inc. for the Ralston Creek Storm Water Management Project South Branch Detention Structures in 1978. This study found two species of fish including creek chub and shiner and several species of invertebrates including water striders, water boatmen, case caddis, damsel flies, sow bugs, and crayfish. Although no data is available for Snyder Creek, similar life forms are expected in this small stream. Rare and Endangered Species - Information from IDNR indicates that no protected species or natural features are listed in the Iowa Natural Areas Inventory data base in or near the project area. Although no mussels are currently on the endangered or threatened species list, some found in the Iowa City to Gladwin reach of the Iowa River are proposed for the list. Cultural Elements Parks And Recreation Facilities - Figure VI -4 shows the location of parks and recreation facilities in the study area. The sewer project will be constructed adjacent to several parks. They include Brookland Park (Benton Street Interceptor), Napolean Park•(Sludge Force Main), Mercer Park (Southeast Interceptor -Snyder Creek Segment located on south side of railroad tracks), Creekside Park (Southeast Interceptor -Snyder Creek Segment), and Court Hill Park (Southeast Interceptor -Ralston Creek Segment). Historical, Archaeoloeical And Cultural Elements - A cultural resource survey was conducted by the office of the State Archaeologist in conjunction with this study. This study shows that low potential for significant cultural material exist on sites along the route of proposed sewers. A copy of the State Archaeologist's report is included in Appendix B. Past studies indicate that the general Iowa City area includes a number of sites of historical and archaeological significance. These are shown on Figure VI.3. Historical sites in the area include early settlements,of the Fox and Sioux Indian tribes for trading posts, and the site of the Town of Napoleon, the first county seat of Johnson County. Iowa City was established as the territorial capital of Iowa in 1839, and later as the county seat of Johnson County. Some of the known historical sites that may be preserved in the future include the Old Capitol grounds, the Napoleon townsite, indian village sites, 9986 51 CA30R n c It, S 21 I, II k . . . . . . . . . . 24 FAIRMEA PARK L) VVIETHERBYPARK 12, A' 1, T, L t: .0 A .4 25 26'. 25 c 11 V c Jcjl j ' en Cl —11j 31 N 36 N 0 4000 PARKS AND onim Feet RECREATION FACILITIES § Figure VI - 4 Terrill Mill site, original ferry crossings, the first stage route and archaeological sites of prehistoric occupations. Economy. Population and Land Use In 1983, Iowa City Department of Planning & Program Development completed an update of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan that was originally adopted in 1978 (an update of the 1983 report is in progress). The findings of the 1978 report are summarized in the Facility Plan. The information presented in the 1983 update is similar in nature to the original work. Only those aspects of the existing situation that are significantly changed from the original work are presented below. Economy - Iowa City is dominated by one major employer, The University of Iowa and its medical complex, which employs over 17,000 full- and part-time workers (408 of the Iowa City labor force). Fifty percent of the workforce is employed in the public sector. About 88 (3,000) of the labor force are employed in manufacturing and 308 (12,000) are employed in service and retail sectors. These figures show that Iowa City has a small manufacturing base more typical of a town of about 25,000 population than one of 50,000 population. .Population - The p9pulation trend in the Iowa City study area shows slow growth over the last few years. Table VI -2 shows the population trend since 1930. The 1983 update states that population in Iowa City has been growing at a rate of roughly 500 persons/year. Population projections provide a high estimate of 68,318 people by the year 2000 and a low estimate of 57,564. Over the past few years the age distribution of Iowa City's population has changed. The number of children and teenagers has declined while the number of young adults (25-34 age group) and elderly has increased. A corresponding shift in demand from apartment dwelling to owner -occupied housing is occurring. Land Use - The Comprehensive Land Use Plan for Iowa City was adopted in 1978. This plan is presented as Figure 11 of the Facility Plan and was utilized in planning for new wastewater facilities. The long-range plan shows growth to extend beyond the corporate limits of the City on the north, south, and east sides. The 1983 Comprehensive Plan Update shows a less extensive planning area that generally coincides with the City's corporate boundary. The Department of Planning and Program Development is currently reviewing the 1983 Update. 9986 52 CA30R i7id TABLE VI -2 POPULATION 1984** --- *Special Census. **Estimated from Bureau of Census.

"Sewerable acres" is defined as land which can develop with gravity flow sewers. Therefore, approximately 338 of the City remains undeveloped, but eventually serviceable with gravity - flow sewers. Present available sewer capacity will allow about 800 acres to be sewered before construction of the proposed wastewater treatment plant. However, about 3,900 acres cannot be sewered until existing sewer capacity is expanded. The Comprehensive Plan identifies probable development during the short- term (15 years) and long-term (beyond 15 years). Although development in either time frame is shown not to extend beyond the corporate limits, city officials acknowledge that land developable with gravity sewers exists beyond the corporate boundaries. Land to the east of the city has the potential to be developed once utilities are provided. 9986 53 CA30R University Year Iowa City of Iowa (Net) 1930 15,340 5,500 1940 17,182 6,800 1950 17,712 9,500 1960 22,320 11,113 1965* 25,247 16,355 1970 26,246 20,604 1974* 27,216 20,528 1980 32,209 18,299 1984** --- *Special Census. **Estimated from Bureau of Census.

Land to the east of the city has the potential to be developed once utilities are provided. 9986 53 CA30R r-, _J Li J ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF NO ACTION ALTERNATIVE The assessment of the future environment without the project reflects a continuation of the existing environmental setting previously described. The "no action" plan for this assessment specifically relates to not implementing the sewer construction program. Since construction of the sewers is an integral part of the new wastewater treatment plant, the treatment facilities would also not be constructed under the "no action" plan. Specific impacts associated with not building the treatment plant are addressed in the Facility Plan. Physical Elements Climatic Elements - No impact is anticipated on the climate if the proposed project is not implemented. Noise Levels - The "no action" plan has no effect on noise levels in the study area. Air Quality - No direct impacts from the "no action" plan are associated with air quality. Geological and Soil Elements - Bedrock and subsoil formations in the study area will not be affected by the "no action" plan. The topsoils in the outlying areas will continue to be farmed without interruption by construction activities. Since future development will be limited with the "no action" plan much of the topsoil on otherwise developable land will remain in its present condition. Hvdroloeical Elements Surface Water - Implementing the "no action" plan will have no effect on the surface waters of the area during normal wastewater flow periods. During major storm events, the current problem of surcharging sewers will continue allowing polluted water to enter the surface waters. Basement flooding that occurs in the project area will continue causing significant inconvenience and financial loss to affected homeowners. Groundwater - Without the project, it is probable that any future development in the study area may require the use of septic tanks and leaching fields for wastewater disposal. This would increase the potential for degradation of groundwater quality. Flood Zones - The floodplain of the Iowa River will not be affected if the project is not implemented in the future. 9986 54 CA30R rr•i 11 Wetlands - The status of the wetland areas will remain the same under the "no action" plan. The small wetland in Section 24 will continue to be subject to degradation by surrounding cultivation and possible eventual loss due to development. Biological Resources Vegetation and Wildlife - Terrestrial vegetation and wildlife will be unaffected by implementing the "no action" plan. Degradation of surface water habitats will continue as overloaded sanitary sewers surcharge polluted water into drainageways. Cultural Elements Historical. Archaeological and Cultural Elements - The known cultural resources will remain unaffected without the project. Parks and Recreation Facilities - No impact is anticipated on parks and recreation facilities by implementing the "no action" plan. Economy. Population and Land Use Implementing the "no action" plan results in continuation of the surcharge conditions of sewers in many areas of Iowa City during storm events. As a result, basement flooding will continue. Basement flooding may increase in extent and frequency in the future as new services are added to existing sewers and as existing sewers deteriorate with age. While not significantly affecting the existing economy, population and land use, the "no action" plan could have a detrimental effect on the future pattern and density of urban development in the study area. The "no action". plan could also adversely affect future economic development in the community. Areas not tributary to extensions of the existing sewer system would have to rely on septic tanks and leaching fields for wastewater disposal. These areas would develop at lower densities than recommended in the City's land use plan. Industrial development may be severely limited. The principal industrial expansion areas are located south (downstream) of the existing wastewater treatment plant. To make industrial sites attractive for development, the area must be served by utility systems, including sewers. Restricted industrial development would have secondary effects on future employment levels and population growth. 9986 55 J CA30R P' Ji 0 J ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THE SELECTED ALTERNATIVE There will be both primary and secondary impacts on the environment resulting from the construction of the sewers. Primary impacts are directly related to construction activity and operation of the sewer system. Secondary impacts are related to effects of the project on land use and population growth in the study area. Primary Environmental Impacts Construction will result in temporary disruption of the ground surface. Except for the outfall structure at the Iowa River, the only portion of the project that will be visible will be manholes. Details of primary project impacts are as follows: Site Acquisition - Permanent and temporary construction easements will be acquired by the City along the sewer routes which are through privately held property. Anticipated permanent easement widths include 20 feet along parts of the Benton Street Interceptor route, 49.5 feet/50 feet along the Outfall Sewer route, and 20 feet/50 feet along the Southeast Interceptor routes. Temporary construction easement are wider and vary considerably for the various routes depending on the nature of the development along the route. Oise - Above -normal noise levels can be anticipated due to operation of heavy equipment at the project sites during construction. Construction noise produced between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. is exempt from Iowa City's noise ordinance. Temporary elevated construction noise levels may inconvenience some residents especially in Bon Aire Mobile Home Park along the Benton Street Interceptor route and in the Ralston Creek area. Air Quality - Sewer construction will require the use of heavy equipment including backhoes and trucks. Particularly during dry weather, the opportunity for air -borne dust arises. This is a temporary impact that may occur only when equipment is operating. Haul roads and City streets used by the contractor's trucks will be required to be cleaned of construction dirt to reduce the incidence of fugitive dust according to applicable City ordinances. Geology and Soils - Except for the immediate project sites, geology and soils in the planning area will generally not be affected. A short section of trench excavation on Section C of the Southeast Interceptor Sewer along Mall Drive may reach the top of the limestone bedrock layer. Only minor rock excavation may be necessary and is not expected to have a significant impact 9986 56 CA30R /?ifA U ■ on the geology of the area. Portions of the Southeast Interceptor sewer route will include construction through some sand deposits, Sewer construction will be conducted in conformance with existing Iowa City ordinances relating to erosion control. The sewer routes will be restored to a vegetated condition after construction activities are completed to control erosion and improve the appearance of the sites. Groundwater - Most sewer construction work will require trenching to a level below the water table level. Trench dewatering will be a major construction activity during sewer installation. Two impacts will result from the dewatering operation. Water pumped from the trench must be discharged to the ground surface and away from construction activities. Groundwater removed directly from the trench may be laden with silt. Siltation of natural drainageways could result if proper methods for removing the silt from the groundwater are not followed. Dewatering operations will cause localized drawdown of the groundwater table immediately along the trench. This is expected to be a temporary occurrence with groundwater level recovering to preconstruction levels once the dewatering operation is complete and the trench is backfilled. Water Quality - Impacts to surface water quality will be those associated with actual project construction. As such, they will be localized and ' temporary. Some soil runoff may occur during construction causing increased sediment loads in adjacent drainageways. Soil erosion and siltation will be minimized by utilizing control practices, such as silt fences, in the most susceptible areas. Flood Zones - Construction of the outfall sewer near the Iowa River will occur in the 100 -year flood prone area. Although a 100 -year flood would adversely impact sewer construction activities, installation of the Outfall Sewer will not affect the Iowa River floodway. Wetlands - The limits of sewer construction activity will not encroach on known wetland areas. Proper erosion control measures implemented along the construction route will minimize impact on sensitive lands. Sediment will be contained on-site before runoff enters nearby drainageways. Vegetation - Vegetation along most of the grant eligible sewer routes consist of cropland and field and roadside grasses. This vegetation will be destroyed by construction but will re-establish after construction is complete. 9986 57 CA30R / 7/fc 17 L A small band of bottomland trees in the area of the Outfall Sewer discharge structure at the Iowa River will be removed. These trees provide some aesthetic value along the shoreline as viewed from Sand Road or from the river but have little other value. Another wooded area will be disturbed at the northern portion of the Sludge Force Main route along the old Sand Road right-of-way. This stand of young trees provides some aesthetic value when viewed from Sand Road but is of little other value. The vegetation along the Benton Street Interceptor is typical curbside and urban grass and trees. Any disturbed areas will be restored with seeding and tree replacement. The final route was selected to avoid most large trees in the area. Cultivated agricultural land will continue to be used for row crops once the sewer lines have been constructed. Parks and Recreation - Grant eligible sewer construction will occur alongside Brookland Park, Napolean Park, and across the railroad tracks from Mercer Park. Only temporary inconvenience to park users is anticipated from noise and dust production. Access to these parks during construction should be maintained. Sewers are being routed through Creekside and Court Hill Parks. Use of these parks will be disrupted during construction. Normal use of the parks will resume once the sewers are installed and surface restoration is complete. Wildlife - The proposed project will have no long-term effect on wildlife in this area. Urban and rural species likely to inhabit the project area are mobile and adaptive and should only be temporarily displaced during construction activities. These animals should return once sewer routes are restored to their preconstruction condition. Rare and Endangered Species - The project will not involve a listed threatened or endangered species, its habitat, or a critical habitat. ' Historical Archaeological and Cultural Elements - The proposed project willhaveno negative impacts on known cultural resources. Secondary Environmental Impacts An immediate benefit of this project to homeowners currently experiencing basement backups due to surcharge is the elimination of this problem. Once the new sewers are operational, basement flooding and the associated physical and financial hardship will no longer exist. Affected homes should become more desirable to potential buyers thereby improving their resale value. 9986 58 CA30R I 17 The overall sewer project will have a positive impact on the density and pattern of future land use. Land use planning in Iowa City has been based on the premise that the City will have adequate sewage system facilities to meet existing and future growth demands. Currently there is inadequate sanitary sewer capacity in portions of the project area resulting in basement flooding and limits on land development. According to the 1983 Iowa City Comprehensive Plan Update, a key factor controlling how and where future development occurs is the construction of new sewer/wastewater treatment facilities. Without the project, future development in the northeast, east and south portions of the City will be hindered. The location of new facilities will encourage a phased growth plan that predictably and cost-effectively guides development in the City. Private developers will have an opportunity to anticipate the community's future growth pattern thereby encouraging orderly growth outward from developed areas and minimizing "leap -frog" development outside the City. Irreversible and Irretrievable Commitments of Resources Construction of sanitary sewers and manholes will require the use of concrete, sand, gravel and other materials which are resources that are essentially irretrievable. The land used for the project is retrievable and could be used for other purposes in the long term. The expenditure of manpower, fuel, chemicals and energy during construction of the project are irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources. Short- and Long -Term Environmental Productivity The proposed plan will provide adequate sewer facilities to meet both short- and long-term needs, to alleviate surcharge conditions and facilitate planned growth of the study area. There will be some very short-term disruption of the environment in the construction areas. 0 1 SECTION VII PERMITS AND SCHEDULE PERMITS A number of permits are required from various governmental agencies and the private sector before sewer construction may begin.

Cultural resources include archaeological, architectural, and historical sites. OSA is solely responsible for the content and accuracy of this report with respect to site location, description, interpretation, and recommendations. All records, artifacts, and specimens recovered during the survey are reposited at the OSA. PROJECT DESCRIPTION An archaeological survey was required for approximately 110 acres (45 hectares) of land adjacent to and south of the City of Iowa City (Figure 1). The survey was intended to provide cultural resource data for Stanley Consultants prior to the construction of a wastewater treatment plant facility. The proposed project includes: (1) a sludge forcemain, approximately 3.75 miles long wjth a 100 ft corridor; (2) the Snyder Creek segment interceptor line, approximately 1.5 miles long with a 100 ft corridor; (3) an outfall sewer line, approximately 1 mile long with a 50 ft corridor; (4) the wastewater treatment plant area; approximately 52 acres; (5) an access road, approximately .75 miles long with a 66 ft corridor; and (6) a power supply line approximately .4 miles long. The project area is located in T79N- R6W, as follows: NE 1/4, SW 1/4; SE 1/4, SW 1/4; SW 1/4, SE 1/4 Section 15 NW 1/4, NE 1/4; NE 1/4, NW 1/4; SE 1/4, NW 1/4; NW 1/4, SE 1/4; SW 1/4, SW 1/4 Section 24 NW 1/4, NW 1/4; SW 1/4, NW 1/4; NW 1/4, SW 1/4 Section 25 SW 1/4, NW 1/4; SE 1/4, NW 1/4; NW 1/4, SWI/4; NE 1/4, SW 1/4; SE 1/4, SW 1/4; NW 1/4, SE 1/4; SW 1/4, SE 1/4; SE 1/4, SE 1/4 Section 26 NE 1/4, NE 1/4; SE 1/4, NE 1/4; NE 1/4, SE 1/4 Section 27 NE 1/4, NW 1/4; SW 1/4, NW 1/4; SE 1/4, NW 1/4; NW 1/4, SW 1/4; NE 1/4, SW 1/4; NE 1/4, NE 1/4; NW 1/4, NE 1/4; SE 1/4, NE 1/4; SW 1/4, NE 1/4; NE 1/4, SE 1/4; SW 1/4, SE 1/4 Section 35 M -2- Approximately 2.75 miles of the sludge forcemain runs along an existing right of way. Therefore, this segment was not resurveyed. PROJECT AREA DESCRIPTION The proposed project is located in parts of two Iowa landform regions. The northern portions of the sludge forcemain and the Snyder Creek segment interceptor, the northwestern corner of the wastewater treatment plant area, and a southern portion of the sludge forcemain are located within Iowa's largest landform region, known as the Southern Iowa Drift plain (Figure 1, inset). "The topography of this area is best described as one of steeply rolling hills interspersed with areas of uniformly level upland divides and level alluvial lowlands" (Prior 1976:45). Erosional forces have created an integrated, well drained landscape that is blanketed by a moderate to thick loess cover. Pre-Illinoian glacial drift and underlying sedimentary bedrock are exposed within the deeper stream valleys (Prior 1976:45-47). The remaining portions of the proposed project are within the floodplain of the Iowa River in the landform region known as the Mississippi Alluvial Plains (Figure 1, inset). Floodplains are "characterized by relatively flat surfaces and poorly drained areas that contain marshes, backwater sloughs, and occasional stands of timber" (Prior 1976:37-38). The topography of the area is that of ridges and swales that mark earlier meanders or migrations of the river channel. This topography is developed "as the river shifts across the valley by undercutting on the outer bank. The successive ridges and Intervening swales that characterize meander scroll topography develop simultaneously" (Ritter 1979:261). The proposed project area occupies relatively level floodplain deposits with the exception of those portions of the sludge forcemain and the Snyder Creek segment interceptor which occupy gently sloping uplands. The project area is bordered on the north by Highway 6, on the east by Snyder Creek, on the south by a gravel road, and on the west by the Iowa River. The soils mapped in the project area represent 24 different series (Figure 2). They are described, in alphabetical order, as follows: Ackmore series soils (#430) consist of deep, poorly or somewhat poorly drained, moderately permeable soils formed in alluvium on flood plains and are taxonomically classified as Aeric Fluvaquents (United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (USDA, SCS] 1981:Ackmore series).

Waukee series soils (#178) consist of deep, well drained, moderately to very rapidly permeable soils formed in loamy alluvium and the underlying sandy alluvium on stream terraces and are classified as Typic.Hapludolls (USDA, SCS 1986:Waukee series). Waukegan series soils (#3506) consist of deep, well drained, moderately to rapidly permeable soils formed in a mantle of loess or silty glacial alluvium and in underlying sandy or sandy -skeletal glacial outwash on glacial outwash plains and valley trains and are classified as Typic Hapludolls (USDA, SCS 1979:Waukegan series). The proposed project area occupies cultivated, fallow, and pasture lands. Ground surface visibility for the entire project ranged from 0 to 75%. Standing structures will not be affected by this project. METHOD AND TECHNIQUES OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT Archaeological site records on file at the Office of the State Archaeologist were reviewed prior to the July 14, 19-22, and 26-27, 1988, field survey. The list of sites included in and determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places was reviewed (State Historical Society of Iowa 1988). Aerial photos were obtained from the map collection of the University of Iowa main library (USDA, SCS 1951, 1957, 1963). Soil Conservation Service soils type maps of the project area were reviewed prior to fieldwork (Schermerhorn 1983). Historical atlases and other sources were reviewed at the State Historical Society of Iowa library (Andrea 1875:56,113; History of Johnson County 1883). A number of local residents were also consulted for possible archaeological information. 7114 I I 17 M The proposed project area was surveyed by a three person archaeological crew using pedestrian transects at approximately 5 and 10 meter intervals. A geomorphological crew from the Iowa Geological Survey performed subsurface testing on a limited segment of the project to determine stratigraphy and the potential for buried cultural materials (Appendix I). Subsurface testing, by the archaeological crew, was conducted on the wastewater treatment plant area and on portions of the outfall sewer, the access road, and the Snyder Creek segment interceptor. Descriptions of the subsurface testing for each area are as follows: The wastewater treatment plant area was tested using 4 shovel tests, each approximately 50 x 50 cm by 80 cm deep on a single north -south oriented transect at 20 meter intervals. The shovel tests were placed along the crest of a small dune -like feature in the northeast corner of the 52 acre area. The outfall sewer was tested using 9 shovel tests, each approximately 50 x 50 cm by 80 cm deep. Four shovel tests were placed on the west side of Sand Road on a single east -west oriented transect, at approximately 50 meter intervals, along the center line of the right of way. Five shovel tests were placed on the east side of Sand Road on a single east -west oriented transect, at 30 meter intervals, approximately 4 meters' south of the right -of way. The Snyder Creek segment interceptor was tested using 9 shovel tests, each approximately 50 x 50 cm by 60 cm deep, located on a high terrace approximately .75 miles south of the inteceptor's junction with Highway 6. Three transects of 3 shovel tests each were placed on a north -south oriented grid pattern. The three transects and their 3 shovel tests each were placed at 15 meter intervals. The proposed access road was tested using 6 shovel tests, each approximately 50 x 50 cm by 80 cm deep, located approximately .25 miles north of the junction of the proposed access road and the existing gravel road. Four shovel tests were placed on a north -south transect 10 meters west of an existing power line. Two shovel tests were placed on a north -south transect 10 meters east of an existing power line. All soils excavated were sifted through 1/4 inch wire mesh screens. N -7- RESULTS Archaeological Context No previously recorded archaeological sites are found within the proposed project boundaries. No sites listed on or determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places exist within the project area. No standing structures will be affected by this project. However, the Iowa Site Records and other sources on file at the OSA contain abundant information on prehistoric and historic sites in the general vicinity of the proposed project. A total of 15 sites have been located with 1 mile (1.6 km) of the project boundaries.

Both surveys were performed in order to provide cultural resource information on proposed sewage projects for the City of Iowa City and both surveys yielded positive information on archaeological sites. Although these two surveys were conducted in the same general vicinity as the current project, there was no overlapping of survey areas between any of the projects. A third archaeological survey was conducted by Merry (1985) for a bridge replacement 0 project along the gravel road which forms the southern border of the current proposed project. One archaeological site, 13JH502, was identified as a result of this survey. The bridge replacement project lies to the south and east of the current proposed projects boundaries. Two historic sites are especially important to note. Around 1830 John Gilbert established the first trading house in Johnson County south and west of the current project area. In 1837 Gilbert moved his trading house approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) north. That same year Wheaton Chase built his trading house near Gilbert's (Kean 1980:4). However, archivel and literature searches as well as archaeological investigations have failed to pin -point the exact locations of either Gilberts or Chases trading houses. Two archaeological sites, 13JHSIO and 13JH511, and one find spot, 13JH512, were located as a result of this survey. They are described as follows with respect to landscape position, legal location, present condition, recovered artifacts, and potential impact. 13JH5IO This prehistoric lithic scatter is located on the crest of a gently undulating sandy dune -like formation with its western border tangent to the proposed access road's eastern right of way boundary (Figure 4). The site covers approximately 225 m2 (2,400 ft2) in the SE 1/4, NW 1/4, SE 1/4, SE 1/4 of Section 35, T79N-R6W. Artifacts recovered from 13JHSIO include four chert waste flakes and one chert flake fragent. There was no evidence of other types of cultural material or associated features at 13JHSIO. The lithic material collected does not provide enough information to determine cultural affiliation for this prehistoric site. Due to the erodible nature of the sandy dune -like formation and the limited amount and nature of material recovered, it appears that a low potential for intact, significant archaeological remains exists at 13JHSIO. 9- 13JH511 1 This prehistoric lithic scatter is located on a gently undulating sandy surface within and to the west of the proposed access road right of way (Figure 4). The site covers approximately 1,600 m2 (17,200 ft2) in the NW 1/4, NW 1/4, SE 1/4, SW 1.4 of Section 35, T79N-R6W. Artifacts recovered at 13JH511 include the following items: chert waste flakes surface collection 7 ashovel test 1 1 shovel test 2 1 shovel test 3 1 Li chert core fragment shovel test 4 1 Six shovel tests were excavated at 13JH511 (Figure 4). Shovel tests 5 and 6 were placed 10 meters east of an existing power line which forms the western boundary of the proposed access road. Both yielded negative information. Shovel tests 1-4 were placed 10 meters west of an existing power line and all yielded positive information. No evidence of subsurface features IIJJ were encountered during shovel testing. There was no evidence of other types of cultural material or associated features at 13JH511. The lithic material collected does not provide enough information to determine cultural affiliation for this prehistoric site. Due to the erodible nature of the sandy surface, the lack of subsurface information, and the limited amount and nature of material recovered it appears that a low potential for intact, significant archaeological remains exists at 13JH511. 13JH512 This prehistoric find spot is located on the crest of a sandy dune -like formation in the NE corner of the wastewater treatment plant area (Figure 5). The site covers approximately 100 m2 (1,080 ft2) in the SW 1/4, NE 1/4, NE 1/4, NE 1/4 of Section 35, T79N-R6W. JThe artifacts recovered from 13JH512 include 2 surface collected chert waste flakes. Four shovel tests were placed along the crest of the dune -like j formation and all four yielded negative information. J I I 10 - iThere was no evidence of other types of cultural material or associated features at 13JH512. The lithic material collected does not provide enough information to determine cultural affiliation for this prehistoric find spot. - Due to the erodible nature of the sandy dune -like formation, the absence of J subsurface information, and the limited amount and nature of material recovered, it appears that a low potential for intact, significant archaeological remains exists at 13JH512. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS The records check and literature search provided abundant information on cultural resources in the vicinity of the proposed project area. Local �J residents provided no information on sites located within the project area. Archaeological sites 13JHSIO and 13JH511 and find spot 13JH512 wdre located as a result of this survey. Considering the eroded nature of the 7 surfaces, the lack of subsurface context, and the small amount of cultural I material recovered from all three sites, it is apparent that a low potential for significant archaeological remains exists at 13JH510, 13JH511, and 13JH512. No further cultural resource investigations are recommended for the project area. No survey technique is totally adequate to locate all cultural materials in a given vicinity and the geomorphological study (Appendix I) indicates the possibility that deeply buried cultural material may be found in parts of the project area. Should any such materials be encountered during construction activities, the Office of the State Archaeologist must be notified immediately.

Arthur Bettis, III i i ' I i r - ' tLj L! �J APPENDIX I Geomorphological Investigations an a Segment of the Proposed Iowa City Wastewater Treatment Plant Facilities, Johnson County By E. Arthur Bettis, III IJ Geologic investigations in conjunction with the cultural resource assessment of the Iowa City Wastewater Treatment Facility were conducted on July 19, 1988. Subsurface investigations were restricted to an area along an access road on the north side of Sand Road Orchard. Crops and access denial prevented subsurface investigations in the remainder of the project area. The project area is geologically very complex and crosses an array of valley surfaces of different age and origin. The accompanying map shows the distribution of three surfaces, and serves as a guide to the potential for buried archaeological sites to occur in the area. The map was constructed from information contained in the Sof? Survey of Johnson County (Schermerhorn 1983) and Esling's Ph.D. dissertation (1984), as well as relationships and deposits observed in the field. Descriptions of two holes drilled with a hydraulic coring machine are also attached. The oldest landform in the project area is the Early Phase High Terrace (EPHT). This is a pre-Wisconsinan terrace buried by several meters of late Wisconsinan Peoria Loess. For the purpose of archaeological survey this landform is equivalent to a gently sloping, poorly to somewhat poorly drained upland. South of the project area in the NW 1/4 of Section I T78N-R6W is a small remnant of the Late Phase High Terrace (LPHT). This is a Wisconsinan terrace mantled with one to three meters of Peoria Loess. The alluvium making up this terrace is greater than 12,500 years old. Archaeological sites may be found shallowly buried within the Peoria Loess on both the EPHT and LPHT. The area shown in light grey on the accompanying map is equivalent to Esling's (1984) Low Terrace. This actually consists of several terrace levels that cannot be distinguished on topographic maps of this scale. Hole 52-2 was drilled on the western margin of the LPHT in the NW 1/4, NE 1/4, SW 1/4 of Section 35 T79N-R6W and encountered 1.12 meters of Peoria Loess grading downward to sandy alluvium. Landforms within this area are Late Wisconsinan in age and can be buried by thin deposite of Peoria Loess. The large reentrant of Low Terrace in the SW 1/4 of Section 25 T79N-R6W is very poorly drained and contained areas of intermittent standing water before it was drained for agricultural purposes. Archaeological sites may be buried in this area, especially where small tributary streams emerge from the EPHT, as well as along the escarpment separating the EPHT and Low Terrace. The area marked in dark grey on the accompanying map is the Holocene meanderbeit of the Iowa River. Deposits and landforms within this area are Holocene in age. Two distinct levels are present in this area. The highest 171Y 6 U Li and oldest is made up of sandy alluvium and is located east of Sand Road in Section 35 T79N-R6W. This level is crossed by large, shallow, filled abandoned meanders of the. Iowa River. Hole 52-1 was drilled in one of these abandoned channels and encountered more than 3 meters of loamy and sandy alluvial fill. The area west of Sand Road was not accessible but its lower elevation and pronounced ridge and swale topography suggests that it is underlain by mid-to-late Holocene -age alluvium. Archaeological sites may be deeply buried in the area marked in dark grey on the map. Dunes are present on surfaces older than late Holocene throughout this portion of the Iowa River valley. Most of these probably originated during the late Wisconsinan, but they may have been reactivated during the Holocene, especially during the middle Holocene. Buried archaeological sites are possible beneath and within the dunes in this area.

WILSON, GIRE=R Thank you for inviting our comments an the sewer system improvement project including the new sewage treatment plant for Iowa City. I have searched maps and computer records of the project area and consulted with other Bureau staff members. At this time, the Iowa Natural Areas Inventory data base contains no records of protected species or natural feature's in or near the project area. We have recently obtained a survey of mussel beds in the Iowa River below Iowa City. The stretch of the river from Iowa City to Gladwin has numerous mussel beds and a diverse list of species. No mussels are currently an the Endangered or Threatened species lists, but several, including some which are found in this stretch are proposed for the list. Of course the new sewage treatment plant will assist in protecting these species, but they should also be carefully considered while planning construction of the facility and and subsequent development. Please note that the lack of additional records from the project area does not mean that other rare species or natural communities are absent from the area. Our data are not the result of thorough field surveys and should not be considered a substitute for on-site inspection. If you have any questions about this letter or if you require further information, please contact me.

WILSON, DIRECTOR I have enlcosed the map.you sent me indicating the proposed sewer routes for Iowa City. The east route would be the one having the greatest potential impact on habitat areas. It is also the one that accessability is very limited. Upon a roadside inspection, I noted a small wetland area indicated as "1" on the map. The DNR wetland inventory I have on file also shows a larger wetland area ("2" on map) in Sections 25 and 56. I am not sure how .close this comes to the proposed line or treatment plant. These are the only two wetland sites that -I am aware of. Sincerely, Timothy A.

We were asked to comment in the form of a study questionnaire. The Director of Public Works and Director of Finance prepared the attached response which has been forwarded to the League of Iowa Municipalities. cc: Rosemary Vitosh Chuck Schmadeke bj/Pc2 IOWA RUTF STUOY QUESTIONNAIRE Some of the following questions require specific or official knowledge of the road and street development process in Iowa. Others are sore general. A re— i sponse to all questions is not necessary. I I ' 1. Identify the most important street/highway need to you, your area, your business or your industry. Please explain: Street -System Maintenance and Repair. Many streets within Iowa City's street system were constructed roa_ v d� 1 around the turn of the century and necessary costly repairs and/or replacement are becoming more and more evident. In addition. +/- 75% of Iowa City's streets were paved prior to 1950: thus recuiring yearly resurfacing proiects in an attempt to. minimize street. deterioration. Also due to public demand and the need to reduce'the risk of tort liability. Buick and complete snow removal and f reauent. sweepi no of city streets has become necessary. 2. Are there existing laws or other restraints, such as those related to lia- bility and required standards, that adversely affect your road and/or street operations? YES NO x If YES, please explain: As a matter of fact, design and construction standards used by the state apply to city work as well. Having uniform standards insures a commitment to quality by both the contracting agency and contractors. Also, the traveling public does not have to adjust to varying lane widths, surface texture and quality etc. as they travel from one government jurisdiction to another.. However, the one design standard that is difficult for cities to comply with is the 10 -foot minimum horizontal clear zone back of curb. The many above -ground utilities and the desirability of providing street trees renders this restriction excessive. /70 I ' ' Page 2 3. Should the responsibility for building and maintaining the streets and highways be shared in a different manner, (between counties and small Cities; between the state and counties for lower traveled primary roads; between public and private interests)? I , YES NO x If YES, please explain: For cities the size of Iowa Cit that have their own engineering personnel and street maintenance personnel, local control of constructing and maintaining street systems is most desirable. 4. Are current provisions for the construction, improvement, maintenance and operation of- state and county road extensions into cities satisfactory? YES NO x If NO, please explain: The state should be more consistent and ri id in enforcing regulations governing restricted and limited Access facilities within cities 5. Has the abandonment of rail, bus, barge or air service affected roads or streets in your area? I YES X NO I _— iIf YES, please explain and cite specific circumstances: The abandonment of rail and/or restriction of rail service in Iowa City has forced'the City to maintain both at -grade and separated grade crossings. Since 1980 when the Rock Island Railroad ceased operations, Iowa City has spent $209,000 maintaining railroad crossings. 170 M 41 Pege 3 6- Can the decision-making process for identifying, prioritizing and/or fund- ing road improvements be enhanced? If so, how? Iowa City is of the opinion that the current decision-making process works exceedingly well. The Johnson County Council of Governments and the Iowa Department. of Transportation continually support Iowa City's interests with i j regard to street system improvements. 7. Has overall road or street service in your area: IMPROVED DETERIORATED x or REMAINED THE SAME ? IF IMPROVED or DETERIORATED, in which ways?' street infrastructure and many arterial streets must be widened to accommodate increased traffic flows. S. Are there other road or street issues -important to you? If so, please indicate below. The Federal Aid to Urban Systems (FAUS) program has been exceedingly popular with cities and has been the impetus to improving many city arterial streets. However, the funding level has essentially remained unchanged since the program began in the early 1970s. A state -funded program similar to the FAUS program would provide much-needed assistance to necessary city street improvement programs. Name: Charles J.

Washington St. Iowa City IA 52240 RUTF,Questionnaire mg/jw/5 Coaaaents Regarding Road Use Tax Fund Distribution Forsula The RUT (Road Use Tax) fund distribution formula is currently being studied. The attached report shows actual distribution for Fiscal Year 1987 and it points out some useful comparative data. Total funding needed in Fiscal Year 1987 by the four categories amounted to $935,000,000 and 31% of that was for City Street costs. However, only 18% of total Road Use Tax monies allocated by the distribution formula were distributed to Cities based upon the current distribution formula. The chart below summarizes funding sources for each category. While the Primary Road Fund and the Farm'to Market Fund received virtually all funding from RUT monies and Federal Aid (96% and 95% respectively), local governments' cost are funded at a much lower level from the same source. Secondary Road costs are funded 55% and Cities' costs are funded only 41% from these same sources. Local governments must make up the difference from property taxes and new borrowings. And, it should be noted that the debt issued is most likely retired with property tax levies in future years. Primary Farm to Secondary City Road Fund Market Fund Road Funds Street Funds Road Use Tax $217.7 $42.0 $125.8 $ 80.9 63% 71% 51% 28Y. Federal b State Aid $116.0 $14.1 $ 9.0 $ 36.7 34% 24% 4% 13% Misc./Local Revenue $ 10.2 $ 2.9 $109.7 $170.0 45% 59% TOTAL $343.9 $244.5 $287.6 Note: Dollars in millions jis i A Page 2 The Highway Fund revenues are derived from users through the use of motor fuel tax, motor vehicle registrations, motor vehicle use tax, and driver license fees. In theory, the users pay based upon their actual usage of the road facilities. However, the RUT distribution formula does not appear equitable for the four categories using the total annual expenditures as a basis. Total expenditures in Fiscal Year 1987 for Primary Roads and Farm to Market Roads was $402,900,000 or 43% of total expenditures for roads. In comparison, they received $259,700,000 or 64% of their funding from RUT monies. Local govern- ments' (Secondary Roads and City Streets) expenditures amounted to $532,100,000 or 57% of total road expenditures. However, they were funded only 39% by RUT monies ($206,700,000). The large distribution of RUT monies to the State should be questioned. Why should direct user charges pay a larger proportional share of State road costs than local government road costs? Comparing the Counties (Secondary Roads) and Cities (Streets) shows that counties must pay 45% of their costs from local revenue sources while cities must pay 59% of their costs from local revenue sources. At least at the local government level, funding sources should be comparable in terms of local revenue funding needs. This discrepancy is an indication of an inequitable distribution of our RUT monies to the two types of local governments. It is obvious that basing the distribution formula on actual expenditures for a past year could be questioned. This method does not take into account the actual needs or what should be done in road maintenance versus what is actually being done. However, state and local governments have for years indicated that actual expenditures are very inadequate to meet actual needs. Agreeing on a definition of "actual need" would be difficult, if not impossible. Therefore, using past years' actual expenditures as a basis may be the best available data. The City of Iowa City's funding for street expenditures in Fiscal Year 1987, the same year as the attachment, shows it to have funding sources comparable to that of the City Streets category. RUT provided 28% funding while 19% came from Federal and State Aid. Local revenues were needed for 53% of total funding sources. /7/s 9 Page 3 As our road infrastructure ages, the maintenance cost becomes a burden on all governmental bodies. We applaud the study of the RUT distribution formula currently being undertaken. During that study, consideration should be given to the source of funding for expenditures (user based versus non -user based) and the relative equity as to how user -based revenues are distributed to the different government levels.

City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: November 4, 1988 To: City Council From: City Manager Re: Melrose and Grand Avenue Intersection The other evening, Council raised questions concerning the possible traffic control improvements at Melrose and Grand. I again spoke with the Traffic Engineer and he has advised that the studies he is undertaking are with the interest in possibly providing for installation of a'stop sign or signalization. As you know there have been concerns about improved pedestrian crossing of Melrose onto Grand near the new Recreation Center. To install the requested street striping would, in my judgement, create a false sense of security and it would be preferable to do work after the University has concluded its construction project. Accurate traffic counts could then be taken. We will continue to monitor that intersection and when the construction has been completed and the street right-of-way improved, the traffic control installations could then occur. cc: Jim Brachtel bj/pc2 ,7/to City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: November 7, 1988 To: City Council From: City Manager Re: Large Lot Policy/Environmental Ordinance At your recent goal setting session, the issues of a large lot policy and the possible development and adoption of an environmental zone as part of the Zoning Ordinance were directed to my attention. As an update, I convened the staff to discuss these issues. The planning staff will be discussing the issue of a large lot policy with a few local developers to determine whether there is interest and whether it would make economic sense to proceed to amend our subdivision ordinance to accommodate such development. We are reviewing such a policy with the understanding that certain accommodations may have to be initiated if we are to encourage large lot development. With respect to the environmental ordinance, the Planning Director has drafted an overlay zone which could be applied to those areas of environ- mental sensitivity. The overlay zone was drafted some time ago and Don wishes to do some additional work before submitting this matter to the City Council for your review. After we conclude the basic review of information, I will schedule these matters for an informal City Council meeting whereby we can discuss your general thinking and the proposed components of the large lot policy and the environmental overlay zone. We will keep you advised. cc: Don Schmeiser Chuck Schmadeke bj/pc2 1717 K City of Iowa city = MEMORANDUM DATE: November 7, 1988 -� TO: City Council FROM: City Manager RE: Chuck Schmadeke's father died this past Saturday in Waterloo.

We recently received a letter from the Advisory Council whereby William Ashton has submitted a report indicating that the City's action, that is, load postings are not necessary and routine inspections of the bridge would be satisfactory. As you know, we performed an extensive structural analysis and those reports indicated to the contrary. The Advisory Council has chosen to give weight to Mr. Ashton's report and thereby are requesting that we conduct further studies. This matter grows more bizarre each day and I have now become genuinely concerned that the community may lose hundreds of thousands of dollars of federal aid as this process continues. At this time I have no formal recommendations other than we are attempting to have the Advisory Council change their mind. Chuck estimates that further studies could cost the City another $30,000.
