Com[( December 26, 1985 The Honorable John McDonald Mayor of Iowa City 410 East Washington Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mayor McDonald and Council Members: At the December 17 public hearing on proposed changes to transit services you heard the plea of many citizens, most of whom are active users of this city's fine transit system. Several of the speakers were current or former clients of Goodwill Industries and I am so pleased that they had enough confidence and courage, not to mention the sense of citizenship, to address you themselves. Only a few years ago a less credible and less adequate spokesperson, such as myself, would have appeared there in their stead. Thank you for hearing them and taking their needs and views into consideration in your decision. making. A week or two prior to the hearing I discussed the proposed changes and other service alternatives with all our clients at a regularly scheduled "client/ management meeting". I thought you might like to know their collective views in addition to the individual views expressed at the hearing. 1. There was no vocal opposition to paying 25a on Saturdaysand non -peak hours. Several people said this would not be an undue hardship and that it was fair for everyone to pay something for bus service. However, it should be noted that most of our clients are commuters and purchase (at regular price) monthly bus passes. 2. There was also no opposition to the change to hourly service on Saturdays and non -peak hours. However, again it should be pointed out that almost all our clients are at work during non -peak weekday hours and use the bus on Saturdays for shopping, visiting, etc. Hourly service would present problems for those who work in the community. Many of these worFers have jobs with evening and weekend hours. 3. There was definite opposition to curtailing the hours of service during the evening, including Saturday evening. The vast majority of our clients, current and former, are dependent on transit for all their needs, including work, visiting, shopping, meetings, recreation, etc. Loss of evening bus service would render them virtually homebound in the evenings - a significant restriction on their freedom to exercise their rights as citizens and a considerable diminution of the quality of their lives. 1F9sO 90Rn.�•.., Co OUR- BUSINESS WORKS, SO PEOPLE CAN. yv` 57 S The Honorable John McDonald Page Two 4. There was definite opposition to an increase in bus fares. Since most have little disposable income, a 20% increase in transit fees was felt to be too great. 5. Since some of our clients live in trailer parks served by the Wardway and North Dubuque routes, there was some concern expressed about the possible elimination of these two routes. I wholeheartedly commend you for the course of action you decided upon. Your decision tells me that you not only acted with compassion for and consideration of Iowa Citians who do not use automobiles, but also with an understanding that transit is not a city service, such as cemetary plots, that "benefits" only its users. Nor is there an affordable and reasonable alternative to bus services for most users. Your decision also clearly, and rightly, linked the automobile to the bus. The two systems are related in so many ways that one cannot tinker with one system without considering the inevitable impact on the other. The solutions you have adopted are temporary. In considering more long term steps in the coming months, please keep in mind these points: 1) A phased increase in the transit levy from 18Q to 54Q was planned to replace lost or lowered Federal Revenue Sharing Funds used for transit (Five Year Projection, December 12, 1984). Since loss of those funds is imminent, the increase to 54Q should not wait until FY90. 2) According to the Kyte report, Iowa City is getting significantly more bang for the buck than the vast majority of city transit services, most of which are already at or near a 54t levy. Although improvements can always be made, it is an effective and cost efficient operation. 3) Reduction in service will save short term dollars, but will lead to reductions in ridership, which in turn will have a negative impact on efficiency ratios and indicators, which will make the system appear more costly, which will lead to further reductions in service, which will lower ridership more, etc. until we have another run-of-the-mill inadequate and inefficient municipal bus system, more congestion and parking problems, loss of clientele in the downtown business district and so on. I sincerely believe that the overall costs of a poor bus system far outweigh the costs of keeping a good system healthy. Best wishes for a prosperous and productive New Year. JW/vk Sincerely, John Watson Executive Director AECEIVEDDEC 261985 I Dec. 18, 1985 Iowa City Council 410 E. Washington St. Iowa City, IA 52240 1 Council Members: 1 1 We urge the council to reject any proposal for balancing the budget of the ' Iowa City Transit Service by reducing service to one hour or eliminating j routes. If such plans were put into effect, it would so restrict our i mobility and waste our time that we would be forced to consider other modes of transportation. Moreover, it would place a burden on those least able to bear it --the poor, the handicapped, the young and the elderly. We request that you consider ways of reducing costs or raising revenue that would not restrict service. We will vote for council members who protect essential public services and insure a high quality of life in Iowa City. I Sincerely, i .

A part of said project lies within the City of Iowa City and extends from the City's west to east corporation lines. The work will be done in accord with the current form 810034 "Agreement for Primary Road Extension Maintenance and Operation." Project costs will be paid from the Primary Road Fund and no charges will be made against the City. The project is proposed for construction during 1986. Resident Engineer Richard E. Kautz of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, telephone number 319/366-6818, will advise you of the contractor's proposed schedule when the information is available. We would appreciate this project notification being included on your next City Council meeting agenda as a matter of information for the Council members.

I would like to outline a seguential set of actions which will provide information determining the profitability of the rink. The first measure I Would like to propose is flooding the parking lot East of the Holiday Inn. This will have the effect of determining how many people would use an ice rink. The real cost of such a rink will involve the minimal amount of water, labor (already hired to care for city park), and the foregone parking fees. The immediate benefits are an increase in the consumer traffic during a traditionally low demand period and a valuable source of information. A temporary rink such as this would only last four to six weeks, depending upon the weather. This period is suitable to find accurate information on the behavior pat- terns of permanent Iowa City residents without the student body being present. It will also increase the amount of traffic into the downtown area, the traditionally post Christmas season when retail sales are usually flat. (Aero Rental informed me that on a sunny weekend they rent up to 200 pairs of ice skates.) The second measure is a demand survey. Members of the Ice Hawks (University of Iowa Ice Hockey Club) solicited over 41600.00, to fund a demand survey. The survey will ' encompass a 45 mile radius around Iowa city, and 20,000 homes. We ask that the committee consider the findings of the study when completed in March. The remaining elements of the proposal can be enacted after an assessment of the information provided by the previous two steps. During the summer a pole building could be built with proper flooring for an ice rink. Meetings, concerts, the arts fair, roller skating, basketball and other events could be scheduled in the building for entry fees or for free. During the fall the remainder of the ice rink equipment could be installed and an artificial ice rink could be available to Iowa City during the late fall of 1986. Clearly the pole building would be an investment undertaken entirely by the City or in some joint effort. I The building will remain untill the Town Council determines the proper use of that parcel of land. Except for the pole structure remaining elements of the ice rink could be reused at some other site. I would like to make clear that I seek the construction of a profitable ice rink and not a tax shelter. I would also like to inform you that presently most of the internal eguiment for an artificial ice rink is available for $75,000.00 The equipment available are 500 pairs of rental skates, a skate sharpener, refrigeration unit, zamboni (ice clearing machine), and glass for boards. The Ice Hawks have come very close in the past to having a set of boards donated to the club from other cities replacing old boards. Presently we are asking Cedar Falls for an old set of boards. The club would gladly provide those boards for use in a city facility. The final step would take place when the council saw fit. A permanent ice rink could be built downtown or per- haps in another location. The benefits for such a projcet are numerous. The city could earn revenue from out of town businesses who have previously signed letters of intent to rent ice time. The city could draw income form the Uaiver- sity of Iowa through rental of Physical Education class time and their hockey programs. More importantly, parents, chil- dren, and the elderly would have a recreational purpose for going downtown, making Plaza Center One not only a place to shop but a place to relax. our fiures show that after the football season the num- ber of patrons in Plaza Center One fall off significantly. I can foresee three (possibly four) ice hockey seasons which will expand the use of downtown Iowa City into March. The first is the already established college club league (Mid- west Collegiate Hockey Association). Iowa City has already been named the "capital city" of the league. The Ice Hawks would play all their home games here as well as the pos- sibility of a permanent home for the playoffs, this entails 50 or more games. In addtion the Ice Hawks could eventually become an intercollegiate sport. Unlike soccer all of the Big Ten varsity hockey programs support themselves. In addition three of at least five Big Ten Hockey programs out- draw their Basketball programs, total profit levels are not available to me. The second season would be a youth league. It is currently impossible to set up this league until a rink is built in Iowa City. However, the Ice Hawks do hold figure skating and hockey lessons for the cub Scouts and the Brow- nies. The final season would involve out of town high school students. My associates currently own the franchise rights to the United States Hockey League (USHL). This is a league of 16 to 18 year old students who move to a USHL city and are housed with a family in that city. The youths hope to play collegiate hockey. currently the Dubugue Fighting Saints of the USHL have 25 members and draw 2,500 fans per game. It is possible to bring one of these teams to Iowa City. As you can see I am not asking the city to put a large sum of money into a risky endeavor. I am asking the city to cautiously assess the information and increase its invest- ment into a rink as the information dictates. I'd enjoy getting together with you to discuss this project. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your patience in reading this exposition. Sincerely, U Silly vigdor 3 i r �'wvavvavaaaaa.t aa va. CITY OF IOWA CITY CNIC CENTER 410 E. WASHNGTON ST.

Vigdor 220 North Lucas i Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mr. Vigdor: At its regular meeting of January 14, 1986, the City Council received and placed on file your letter requesting support for the construction of an ice rink in Iowa City. It is obvious that you have given much thought and time to your plan, and this is something that the City may consider at some time in the future. However, at the present time, budget constraints preclude any immediate plans. With declining federal and state support and with the Governor's proposed lid on property tax, the City's efforts are being focused on maintaining the current level of services. The first step of your plan would involve the flooding of the parking lot adjacent to.the Holiday Inn. With the continuing shortage of parking in the central business district, it is nec- essary that this lot be used for parking until a final development plan is proposed. As you know, there has been some discussion about incorporating a skating rink in the final development project. Thank you for your letter. si�nceylyly yours, .�.. Neal G.
