In particular, I am interested in the alley paving project between Dodge and Johnson Streets south of Bowery. I represent James and Loretta Clark who own a multi -family residential building which uses this alley as access to its parking lot. For many, many months we have been interested in and working toward having the alley hard surfaced. This alley is lined with multi -family residential housing. Most of these properties have their only access to the parking lots from this alley. The fashion in which they were constructed prohibits access off of either Johnson or Dodge Streets. This alley becomes nearly impassable in times of wet weather and chuckholes a foot deep, five feet wide and five feet long are not at all uncommon. This presents a major inconvenience and problem for the tenants. The bulk of this alley is a type of no man's land. Around the turn of the century, deeds to properties in the area began leaving a twenty -foot no man's land in the center of the block. This was apparently a crude attempt to create a public alley. There has never been a dedication or formal conveyance to the city of most of the alley. 9 j 4 I Mayor and City Council January 23, 1966 Page 2 While this area was comprised of single-family residences, the alley was not as heavily used and not subject to the extreme rutting which is now a problem. The multi -family uses have dramatically increased the vehicular traffic and caused problems for both owners and tenants. Personally, and on behalf of the Clarks, applaud the city's efforts to pave this alley. The Clarks are more than willing to make a contribution through a special assessment to having the alley paved. I have personally spoken with a number of other owners along the alley who are similarly willing to accept a special assessment to improve the entire area. I also know that there are several owners in this area which will give quit claims to the city to help in the creation of a truly public alley. In the past, I have spoken with Frank Farmer, City Engineer, and Assistant City Attorney Richard Boyle regarding this alley. I have volunteered my services to help the city understand the legal status of the alley and to negotiate with adjoining owners to obtain conveyances to the city. I have communicated with all of the owners in this area in the past and am willing to continue to do so if I may be of help to the city in furthering this project. I urge you to give favorable consideration to pursuing this paving project as speedily as possible. If I may do anything to help the city engineer or city attorney in expediting this project, please have them contact me at their conven;enro_ Vex C../ CJH/niw cc: William J.

Box 217 640 Marion Boulevard Marion, Iowa 52302 Dear Mr. Hames: At its regular meeting of February 11, 1986, the City Council received and placed on file your letter requesting bus service to Sunrise Mobile Home Village. At the present time we cannot extend service to your area. Sunrise Mobile Home Village is outside the city limits, and sufficient funding is not available even for expansion of services within the city limits. The lingering possibility of transit service reductions within the City would preclude any expansion to service unincorporated areas at this time. To extend the route beyond Bon Aire would require adding at least one bus. At this time there is not enough time on the Lakeside/Mark IV route to allow for additional service area coverage. This would mean an increase in operating costs which would not be offset by increased ridership. We will keep your request on file should funds become available to expand the transit system.

This is next to 601 Granada Court, the property of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Breazeale. Over the years we have been painfully aware of the severe problems of drainage of storm water and trash in this area. The problem has been most severe in the property of our neighbors but has also affected US. Not only is there a most unsightly flooding of the lower lying properties, but there is considerable damage to lawns, public sidewalks and ice build-up during winter. The tatter brings an attending increased risk for the public, for the property owners and even for the city. My neighbors have called attention to this problem on numerous times and we were gratified to see that the city recognized the issue and commissioned an appropriate study. Let me urge you to consider seriously the best possible recommendation from that study, and to do so with such a priority that it will be indeed possible to remediate this problem. I thank you in advance for your attention to this matter. With best wishes. ARD/jmc cc: William Ambrisco, Mayor Mr, and Mrs. Richard Breazeale Sincerely, Antonio R.

The following our response to that report dated To provide some background, we purchased our house in 1970, when it was four years old. We were advised that an official city drainage ditch ran along the south side of our house and thus expected to have water flow along that ditch during heavy rains. We were not, however, prepared for what actually happened. With moderate to heavy rains we found that the flow of water was uncontrolled, flooding large parts of our back yard (after flowing through the back yards of 601 and 605 Granada Court) and continuing to flow past our house to properties on the north and west. At times, we recall that the basements at 700 Manor Drive and 601 Granada Court were flooded, and we believe that others were flooded, as well. We are unsure as to what determined when the water flowed in such a way as to flood those basements, but the flow has been variable and thus uncontrolled. Note that none of this water is in an official drainage ditch. We were advised by our attorney that any action on our part to control the flow of water could make us responsible for future damage caused by the flooding. Some time after we bought our house we learned that what, in fact, happens is the city collects water from a substantial area of Manville Heights and dumps it on a hillside to run down into Parkview Terrace. Over the years we have come to understand that the City's view is that they have no obligation to control or to correct the ensuing problems. This came as a surprise to us: it had previously been our expectation that the City acts honorably, in the sense that, if they allow an area to be developed, they ensure a competent level of city services. Instead, the position appears to be that Parkview Terrace was developed with this problem and that, therefore, the City has no responsibility. This attitude is implied in the Engineering Division's second paragraph, which states that the problem existed prior to construction of the house at 601 Granada Court. We wonder what City services would ever be provided if this attitude were implemented across the board? The Ralston Creek project is a current salient instance of the City correcting a pre-existing problem. Thus, the attitude expressed appears to be a way of ignoring the problem, rather than a statement of a consistently Implemented City policy. There are two aspects of the Engineering Division memo that require comment. First, the report is factually incorrect in stating (paragraph 2) that there has ass I �•M-w.w\\iwL\!.www \':.\1lt\\:[\v \w!\nr.n'n.t�.v ls:.v:ww\.+wwwa.nA�..n..will...�.vl..\•..w..Y.w...M'ry�.vl..v.HwwH�.' Neal Berlin January 19, 1986 Page 2 been no development in this watershed since the house was constructed at 601 Granada Court. Since we moved here in 1970 (after 601 Granada Court was constructed), we know of at least two houses constructed in the watershed. Both of these houses are located adjacent to Park Road, where the previously vacant land was available to absorb considerable ground water prior to its reaching Park Road. It was our impression that the problems with the water became more severe with this infill construction. Second, the report fails to discuss various other undesirable aspects of the uncontrolled dumping of water from Manville Heights into Parkview Terrace: I. At present, a considerable portion of the water flows between the houses at 601 and 605 Granada Court and then follows a path along the public sidewalk until it reaches the driveway at 605 Granada Court. As a result of this water flow, not only are there incredible deposits in the backyard of 601 Granada Court but the sidewalk in front of 605 Granada Court deteriorates more rapidly. 2. The drainage ditch forms a large pool of water between our property and 605 Granada Court, which has attracted children to run and jump or slide into this small pool. The drainage ditch is, in effect, an attractive nuisance, carrying a risk of injury to children. (It should be noted that sediment deposits have filled into parts of this ditch, making it shallower, broader, and less effective for its stated purpose.) 3. The City made no provision for the drainage ditch south of our house to carry water to the street--i.e., the ditch ends at the sidewalk. From here, the flow of water is uncontrolled and a portion of it runs beneath the sidewalk. The subsequent erosion of the sail beneath the sidewalk has caused the sidewalk to break and to settle unevenly. We have tried to fill this cavity beneath the sidewalk with soil but have been unable to keep up with the erosion. We have had to pay for repairs to the sidewalk. 4. As a result of the problem just described, in winter we are unable to keep the sidewalk free of ice, since a portion of the drainage water flows on top of the sidewalk during a thaw or rain. 5. We have followed trash flow from Park Road to its settling point in yards on Granada Court (especially 601's yard). This observation highlights the possibility of unsanitary and/or unhealthy deposits in yards where children play. 6. The uncontrolled flooding of our back yard deprives us of the opportunity to develop and use it as we would like. In addition to these immediate consequences of the flooding from Manville Heights, there is a related and continuing problem at the intersection of Granada Court and Manor Drive. There is a large depression in the street at this intersection which, combined with the absence of a storm sewer inlet at this point, causes standing water much of the year and a large area of rough ice in the winter. Again, we have seen children playing in this water in the summer, and it represents a hazard to drivers and pedestrians alike in the winter. Additionally, the necessity of driving through this (sometimes salty) water to reach our home promotes rust. We mention this problem because it would be eliminated by proposal 3 in the report. There is a comment in the report that solving this problem benefits only a limited number of residents: We do not see it that way. The water comes from IO.B acres in Manville Heights, involving a large number of residents, and it affects 6-12 residents in Parkview Terrace to varying degrees. It is only by ignoring the as8 q �1MfAtiv\NtaJ.vwN la\Nw\\tat\vvwCu.u.ww.v:.}ri_ rfr'.w-.wuaa+�+wwv..A.-:�..�i.e.�r.uwenvwwn.u.w.uM.v.vnw.wura+' Neal Berlin January 19, 1986 Page 3 benefits to the Manville Heights residents that the number involved is small. This brings us to the problem of distributing the costs. As we understand the politics, it would be hard to assess a small number of residents for the cost of any of the options, especially the more desirable options 2 and 3. To us, the obvious solution is to distribute this cost among all affected residents, including especially those whose water creates the problem in the first place. Our view is that option number 3 is the best and most equitable option, since it would generally improve the drainage problem in the broad area and would distribute the cost among an even larger group of residents. In the event that there are those who do not agree with us that this is a Manville Heights problem, we propose a fourth option. Close off the three water intakes at Park Road and Magowan and adapt the curb so that no water flows down the hill to Parkview Terrace but, instead, all of it flows west along the surface of Park Road. This is surely less expensive than the other options and would keep the water closer to its point of origin. Once that was done, we suspect that it would be viewed as a larger problem, not one affecting only a few residents in Parkview Terrace. To summarize our major point, the notion that the City has a controlled water flow through an official drainage ditch is a myth. The flow of water has been uncontrolled and the City has done nothing to correct the subsequent problems. In addition, there is a small but nevertheless significant risk of injury to children, icing of public sidewalks, and damage to private property from this uncontrolled flow of water for some 20 years. Given that the neighborhoods involved are affluent, it surely would work no real hardship on the residents to correct this problem. We hope, therefore, that the City will take the opportunity presented by this long overdue report to resolve the situation. cc: William Ambrisco, Mayor Sincerely, �Q.� Don C. Fowles, Ph.D. Dorothy L.

MY classroom serves seventh through twelveth grade students with behavior disablities in the Iowa City School District and many of the smaller school districts in Johnson County. Adolescents who fall within this category traditionally exhibit low self-esteem and lack many of the appropriate good -worker qualities, thus making job -seeking and/or job -keeping very difficult. But with the guidance and support provided through the Mayor's Youth Employment Program,these young people are provided the opportunity to grow into self-confident, employable adults. In the five years that I have been involved with the Mayor's Youth Employment program I have been impressed with the wide variety Of Jobs available , as well as the manner, In which the program works with the schools thus encouraging improved school attendance and improved school behaviors.

Washington i Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mayor Ambrisco and Members of the City Council: i The Committee on Community Needs (CCN) is beginning work on a three year commu- nity development plan for Iowa City for 1987 through 1989. This plan will include a summary of Iowa City's community development and housing needs, and short- and long-term community development objectives developed in accordance with the primary objective of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The primary objective of the CDBG program is the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate -income. At this time, the CCN is asking many Iowa City boards, commissions, organiza- tions and individuals to let us know what they feel are the principal community . These needs can range from the development and housing needs in Iowa City very general (for example, more parks) to the specific (for example, the condi- j tion of housing on a specific block or neighborhood). I In the past, there has been little public response to our request for input. The CCN needs your input, particularly at this time when decreased public funds are forcing us to evaluate and prioritize projects more carefully. There will be at least one public meeting in late spring to hear citizen comments regard- ing the community development plan. feel are Iowa City's most important In the meanwhile, please jot down what you the community development and housing needs, February tCDprogram information b y24,1986to rosendbjectivesindase Pr grammDevelopment, 410 East Washington Street, Iowa City, Iowa 52240.

He subsequently moved it to the 200 block of First Street and set it on the street. It has remained there since March 1985. I have repeatedly asked the building department and more recently the legal department to please have it moved. Their response has been that they cannot do anything.' Apparently Mr. Yocum has Mr. Berlin's staff completely intimidated. I£ any other private citizen had parked a building in one of the city's streets, I can assure you it would be long gone by now. The location of the building on First Street is such that it makes it impossible for the police to..patrol and check the Nagle Lumber Co. from the north. We have recently experienced some inventory shortages due to the fact the police cannot patrol adequately. The building also represents a serious fire hazard to the Nagle Lumber Co. and encourages vandalism. It is also a health hazard'in that it attracts rodents com- ing from Rolston Creek. 07�� %4 ■ MI i I f %4 I feel that in over ten months the city has had plenty of time to have this building removed, but simply has not chosen to do so. I would, therefore, request that the city remove the building from their right of way. Thank you for your prompt consideration. Sincerely, George Nagle, Presi Nagle Lumber Co.

Washington Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Bill, T Having just completed two terms as the chair of the Senior Center Commission I believe that I have particular insight into the role volunteers play at the Senior Center. Since I took my job very seriously I spent innumerable hours at the Senior Center - not only at scheduled meetings, but at'planning meetings, at Senior Center activities as a participant and as a representative of the advisory board at City and County functions. With all those hours I spent I was always very conscious of the difference between a volunteer and staff. I was there when it was con- venient for me and I did only that which either gave me pleasure or which I deemed important. The joy of being a volunteer is that you look at each task as an opportunity to add something to your own life whether that is a new skill, a friendship, or a chance to contribute talents and abilities you already possess. Thus I've used my administrative abilities as a Commissioner and as a member of the Nutrition Advisory Board. I've taken advantage of the chance to learn new skills as a member of the editorial board of the Senior Center POST, as a reporter and as a member of the paste-up team. And my enjoyment of serving the public in a direct one-on-one manner has been enhanced by my work as a server on the Congregate Meal food line. Only a person who does not volunteer at the Senior Center would imagine that people are slotted into jobs that are contrary to their tastes or inclination. In fact, the contrary is more to -the point. The painstaking procedure used by the Center to find a task which does'not superficially match the job just to the skill, but rather the job to the interest and need of the volunteer is truly impressive. Volunteering at the Senior Center is a highly satisfactory experience. As a volunteer at the Center I hope you will take this opportunity to approve this position of half-time Volunteer Specialist and give other elderly the chance to also be actively involved at the Center. i Sincerely, Gv i William J.

Clover FEB 51986 RE: VOLUNTEER SPECIALIST SENIOR CENTER CITY CLERK Mr. Ambrisco, Your Honor: It was my priviledge to serve on the Senior Center Com- mission Board for six years. During that time 1 watched with much satisfaction the tremendous growth that has taken place. I believe this has been due to the exceptional staff that we have been so fortunate to have serve this Center. Both the presentDirector and Program Specialist have done an excellent job, and in doing so have been able to retain the integrity of the philosophy of what a Senior Center should be. I also believe that the g,atest service the Center rend- ers is to those persons who choose to volunteer in some cap- acity. It is only as people are engaged in using their tal- ents, (and we have so many talented people in Iowa City) that they, in turn develop new skills and interests. This provides for a rich and satisfying retirement. As the Center has grown in the number of persons who daily use the facilities, and as more programs are being utilized and asked for --that if we are to continue to grow IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT A THIRD STAFF member be made available, as a volunteer Coordinator. We need a person who will recruit on an on-going basis; who will plan and implement an on-going orientation program; who would be available on a daily basis for encour- agement and assistance; who would have a corps of volunteers ready to place or replace in whatever program may be planned. THE CENTER RUNS ON ITS VOLUNTEERSI I Therefore urge the City Council to seriously examine this nedj and to also seriously find the means to adequately Pay for this help.

Washington j Iowa City, Iowa Dear Mayor: As one of the appointed members of the Senior Center Commission I have certain responsibilities to -the Council including an 'advisory role regarding needs of the Senior Center, and seeking adequate financial resources for its operation'. Our need for a part-time Volunteer Specialist has been well outlined to the Council. I understand that the subject of funds will again be discussed at your Feb. 4, meeting - and would again like to speak to our need. I fully under- stand the city's critical financial situation and we on the Center Commission are anxious to do our part. Our need is also greatandby some careful planning feel that with $69000 from the City and the offer of help from the County and a charge for parking at the Center, we can raise the necessary funds to cover a half-time person. I feel pereonallyp that after the rosey blush of our opening we had a period getting established but for the i past couple of years we have slowly fallen away, Volunteers are no longer knocking on the door and sadly enough we are having to discontinue programs which are needed by the elderly and will be needed even more as our population ages. Bad but true. Mrs Fox and I have travelled around quite a bit and I have had many opportunities to visit other Senior Centers We have probably -the finest.
