However, because of a potential additional six percent cut as a result of the Grann-Rudman-Hollings Balanced Budget bill, our current 1986 CDBG allocation is only $509,480. Because of anticipated income and the funds from the Miller/Orchard Park project, we should be in reasonably good shape with our approved COBB budget as shown below.

FA Including the Human Services Coordinator's salary, the allocation for Public Services is 14.85% of the budget. HUD regulations permit a total expenditure of up to 15% of the budget on public services. We do not anticipate final word from HUD regarding our CDBG allocation until approximately March 1, 1986. However, we can start to encumber funds for the 1986 projects up to $999,580,as soon as the Grant Agreement is completed.

Actions that could trigger revesting title in the City include the redeveloper's default in its obliga- tions with respect to construction of improvements, abandonment or suspension of construction work, failure to pay real estate taxes or assessments on the property, as well as violation of other contract provisions. The contract for Parcel 65-2b is the standard one for conveyance of urban renewal parcels. It contains many safeguards for the public agency and spells out the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved. bj3/6 3os -�+:.4NaatavaG.aa.\..........t.aa .t�aw.v��.v.............

Also present were Charles Case and Jay Cayner, Chairpersons of the United Way Planning and Allocations Divisions; Mary Anne Yolm, Director of United Way; Carol Thompson, Director of the County Department of Human Services; Riley Grimes, County Administrative Coordinator; and Marge Penney. Staff recommendations for Human Service Agency funding for FY87 were pre- sented and discussed. City Council representatives agreed to accept the staff proposal as the Committee's recommendation with one modification: City funding of $1,000. was added for the Red Cross in recognition of its contribu- tions to our community. The final committee recommendations for both City and County are attached; These will be presented to the Council for full review at your February 10, 1986 meeting. In addition to its discussion of specific funding levels, the Committee dealt at'length with the desirability of combining agencies. Whether the result would be multiple agencies in a shared facility, several semi-independent agencies sharing equipment, facilities and staff, or a fully combined entity, some degree of fusion was seen as desirable both for the enhanced services to be provided and the economies to be realized. It was agreed that this pro- ject should be approached carefully and thoroughly, and that the possibility of success would be increased by focusing on a single group of Human Service Agencies. The youth -serving agencies, which are already providing high qual- ity services and which have a history of cooperation, seemed particularly appropriate. It was directed that, once the current funding/budgeting work is complete, staff of the City, County and United Way prepare a summary of the proposed project for discussion by the City Council, Board of Supervi- sors, and the United .Jay Board of Directors. It was also hoped that Council, at its meeting on February 10, 1986, would indicate whether this project should be pursued.

The information provided in this memo indicates that the ordinance is meeting those objectives. During the past few months the staff has found that the inoperable/obsolete vehicle ordinance is an effective enforcement tool. This ordinance has streamlined the enforcement process concerning abandoned vehicles by provid- ing an abatement procedure which allows the City to tow vehicles after they are declared a nuisance. Prior to the adoption of the inoperable/obsolete vehicle ordinance, the City had not been successful through litigation in causing the removal of any abandoned vehicles. Since July, 25 properties have been reported as having storage of -inoperable/obsolete vehicles, 16 of which were brought into compliance, 5 were considered not to be in violation and 4 still have action pending. In bringing these properties into compli- ance with the inoperable obsolete vehicle ordinance, it was necessary for the City to tow vehicles from only three properties (this involved four vehi- cles). The City has also collected its enforcement costs from one property owner to date. The enforcement record of the inoperable/obsolete vehicle ordinance from July 24 to the present follows. 1. Number of complaints 2. Status of complaints PA a. Number in compliance (vehicle removed) 16 b. Number not justified (vehicles not considered inoperable) 5 c. Number unresolved (action pending) 4 Total number of complaints 2� 3. Status of unresolved complaints a. On appeal 1 b. Vehicles being removed 1 c. New complaints 2 Total 4 4.

Billed and not paid 2 The inoperable/obsolete vehicle ordinance has achieved the results intended at the time of its adoption. I recommend that the abatement procedures features of this ordinance should be considered for other types of nuisance violations, If you have any questions regarding the inoperable/obsolete vehicle ordinance, I will be happy to answer them. bj2/3 Yl........ vaaY.Ya..a.n .......�-�..\\av` POLICE DEPARIMEN'i Year-end Report; December, 1985 The number of citizen generated requests for police services in calendar year 1985 was approximately the same as in 1984. A total of 34,907 complaints were received in '85 and 34,497, an increase of approximately 1.2%. Significant differences occurred in the following offense classifications. Offense Classification 41985 01984 Larceny 2,337 1,931 MV Theft 215 186 Forgery/Counterfeiting 149 73 Fraud 174 120 Sex Offenses 197 162 Offenses; Family/Children 668 563 O.W.I. 427 335 Intoxication 694 497 Disorderly Conduct 4,070 4,118 Other Criminal Violations 553 454 Suspicion 973 803 Juvenile 678 390 Mental 171 131 Suicide 59 48 MV Accidents 2,821 2,626 • Property; Lost/Found 1,335 1,213 Stolen Property Recovered 292 213 Traffic Violations 845 736 Vehicles Towed 1,834 1,596 Other reported offense classifications remained the same or declined slightly when 1985 is compared to 1984. For example, twenty-two reports of rape were received in 1985 while thirty reports were taken in 1984. i The number of criminal arrests; citations issued and parking violation tickets also Increased significantly in 1985 as compared to the previous year. A total of 39,162 arrests were effected, citations issued or tickets posted in 1985 as compared to 32,541 in 1984. Increases were noted in the following classifications.

Towed Vehicles 1985 19841,834 1,596 Parking Tickets 28,963 24,648 *Criminal Offenses Criminal Offenses cleared by arrest or misdeamnor citation averaged 18% in 1985, down substantially from the 21+% averaged in 1984. However,;nearly 3000 more criminal offenses were reported in 1985 than for calendar 1984, perhaps reflecting the changing nature of our community and the vastly increased workload in the Police Department occasioned by investigative needs. Offenses cleared by investigation or by the arrest/citation of an individual for more than one offense of a similar nature increases the clearance of offenses by all means to nearly 30% in both 184 and '85. Problems caused by automobiles and their drivers continued in an upward trend in 1985. More than 4,000 parking tickets wre added in 1965 bringing the totl to 28,963 for the year, up from the 24,648 of the previous year. Moving traffic violations dropped slightly in 185, while a modest increase in the number of vehicles towed was noted. A total of 1,640 hours of in-service and non -departmental training was completed during the year. Training resources were better utilized in quai.ity in-service training and education than in prior years. The Iowa City Police Department, Johnson County Sheriff, University of Iowa Security and the Coralville Police Department combined some training efforts by creating M.A.T.S., the Multi -Agency Training System. The result of the formation of M.A.T.S. has been to afford more and better training to more officers than would have been possible under discrete agency undertakings. Complaints and requests for service at the Animal Control Divisions continue a slow but steady decline year by year. However, -the quantity of services delivered by the Division continues to increase because of additional public service undertakings as well as educational programs. Revenues Increased slightly in 1985 as compared to 1984. Pertinent statistical abstracts are appended. 19.85 COMPLAINTS Iowa City Police Criminal Homicide 45 ?. Rape 132 3.

January 31, 1986 Dear Neal Berlin: I The Shared Housing Program is one year old. During that time, the program has demonstrated that it offers an alternative to the elderly in Johnson County in terms of a flexible housing arrangement which Provides money and/or services from a tenant. This type of living situation promotes an environment that allows the elderly to retain their independence and stay in their own homes. 1 I have attached a copy of the 1985 Annual Report. For further information, please call me at 356-5218. Sincerely, .c:LAz Diana K. Miller Shared Housing Coordinator i I I i i 1 i — A Program of Elderly Services Agency — i a3o9 <,.,.,.....,,,...................., ....:: 28 South Linn Street • Iowa City, Iowa 52240. 356-5227 January 13, 1986 To: Jim Hencin, CDBG programs, City of Iowa City Subject: Shared Housing Program Annual Report From: Diana Hiller, Shared Housing Coordinator The Shared Housing Program is one year old. During that time, the program has demonstrated that it offers an alternative to the elderly in Johnson County in terns of a flexible housing arrangement which provides money and/or services from a tenant. This type of living situation promotes an environment that allows the elderly to retain their independence and stay in their own homes. There were 304 inquires in the first year, with 141 of them in the Past six months. The activity levels of the 2nd and 3rd quarters correspond with the two major student rental cycles. A comprehensive advertising campaign utilizing radio, newspapers, public speaking, brochures, paid advertising, and television has been used to recruit elderly homeowners and tenants. There were 26 trial matches made the first year, with 13 of them in the past six months. Nineteen of the matches have signed a lease after the 30 day trial match. The types of matches have ranged from a rental agreement, where the tenant provides no services to the homeowner, to an,extensive service exchange for room and board. Three problem areas arose which we addressed. and from which we learned. First, the needs of an elderly person who requires 24 hour supervision are too greatfor the tenants we try to attract. Second, the service exchange must be clearly defined in terms of: the number of hours a week, the time of day, and the number of days a week — A Program of Elderly Services Agency — 309 Page 2 services are to be delivered. Third, if the elderly person has a major illness, needs to be institutionalized, or dies, the household situation changes overnight. Therefore, signed leases have been important because they provide the tenants 30 days to find an alternative living arrangement. The following five program objectives have been accomplished during f the past six months: 1. Organized a new recordkeeping system. 2. Screened and matched homeowners and tenants. 3. Drew up leases with homeowners and tenants. 4. Implemented a match follow-up system. 5. Coordinated a major public education/public relations campaign. I The second year of Shared Housing will have the additional focus of elderly matched with elderly (peer -sharing). This type of living arrangement offers another housing alternative to the elderly of Johnson County. Program objectives will include public education/ public relations to recruit at least twenty-four homeowners and twenty-four tenants (this includes elderly and non -elderly tenants), screening and matching homeowners and tenants, match follow-up, and inter -agency case management. I have attached a copy of Program Outcome Measures, Homeowner/Tenant Match Information, CDBG Funding Record, Match Cost Analysis, and Goals and Objectives for 1986 - 1981. n SHARED HOUSING PROGRAM PROGRAM OUTCOME MEASURES Submitted by: Diana Miller Calendar Year 1985 Shared Housing Coordinator HOMESHARING SERVICES 1st Qtr. 2nd Qtr. 3rd Qtr. 4th Qtr.

The service exchange must be clearly defined in terms of: the number of hours a week, the time of day, and the number of days a week services are needed. 3L ""('f ffg 28 South Linn Street • Iowa City, Iowa 52240. 356-5227 January 6, 1986 1st and 2nd Quarter CDBG FUNDING RECORD STATEMENT OF BILLINGS TO DATE JULY $1,585.41 AUGUST $1,193.05 SEPTEMBER $1,286.28 OCTOBER $1,637.31 NOVEMBER $1,773.87 DECEMBER 51.649.20 TOTAL $9,125.12 STATEMENT OF PAYMENTS FROM CITY TO DATE JULY $1,647.23 AUGUST $ 853.55 SEPTEMBER $1,490.93 OCTOBER $2,946.71 NOVEMBER $1,724.87 DECEMBER $1,766.76 TOTAL $10,430.05 — A Program of Elderly Services Agency — 30? i i Elderly Services Agency I January 6, 1986 SHARED HOUSING PROGRAM COST ANALYSIS January 1, 1985 - December 31, 1985 ' Scoring: The coat analysis is based on an assessment of each homeowner's health/activities of daily living status. Depending upon whether the homeowner is judged to be at high, moderate or low risk, comparisons are made to find out what the alternative options in care would cost as opposed to the cost of the Shared Housing program arrangement. That is,'if a homeowner is judged to be at high i risk, the cost is compared to the monthly fee of the average nursing home in Johnson County ($1600), If he/she is at moderate risk, the cost is compared to the hourly wage charged by a Homemaker/Ilealth 1 Aide (who administers personal care). If he/she is at law risk, the cost is compared to the hourly charge of a chore/respite care worker from ESA. The total financial benefit is calculated by multiplying the alternative service cost savings and/or income to the homeowner by the number of ; match months. 7 f Monthly Service Hours Income from/Cost of Tenant X Alternative Coate Total Financial Benefit 1.

The Human Relations Director requested staff input on several proposed sec- tions of the new personnel policies dealing with consumption of alcohol, acceptance of gifts, and employee personal appearance. There was agreement among staff that it is not appropriate for any employee to consume alcoholic beverages of any type during his or her lunch hour when he or she must return to work. It was also indicated that certain blood alcohol levels would be included in the revised personnel policies to assist in determining if an employee is under the influence of alcohol. There was general agreement among staff that only very small, non -personal gifts should be accepted by employees and that these primarily would be small gifts of food for consumption on the job. This would not include a gift of a meal. There was also consensus that a policy requiring employees to maintain an acceptable level of personal appearance and grooming should take into consideration the type of work they are performing, health and safety stan- dards, degree of contact with the public, and the image projected toward all citizens. Individual standards would then be monitored within each depart- ment/division based upon these general criteria. Staff viewed a short film on historic preservation in Iowa City which was produced by the Historic Preservation Commission and City staff. Prepared by: Dale E.

Mayor Bill Ambrisco presiding. Iowa Cit Council Members Present: Ambrisco, Baker, Courtney, Dickson, cDona trait, Zuber. Johnson County Supervisors Present: Donnelly, Myers, Sehr. School Board Members Present: Gjerde. Others Present: Hudson, Berlin, Helling, Karr, Timmins Tape Recorded: Reel 86-C7, Side 2, 245 -End and Reel 86-C11, Side 1, 0-159. Mayor Ambrisco stated that a quorum was present, the School Board being represented by one member not being able to vote. The City moved to accept the minutes of the last Conference Board meeting, February 25, 1985, County seconded, and it was passed, 2/0. City Assessor Hudson presented his proposed FY 187 assessor's budget. Hudson explained the changes in the proposed budget from last year's budget. There were three major increases, the cost of assessment rolls and postage for them, the purchase of a car and a 3% increase in wages. The cost of the car is offset in part by $4,739 being transferred from the Special Appraiser's Fund. The total increase in funds to be raised by taxation is $4,822. The assessor's portion of taxes produced by new construction being taxed for the first time in FY 187 amounts to $5,675. The levy rate will go down from .18905 to .17637 for this proposed budget. Discussion was held about the purchase of the car and about the increase in salaries. The consensus on the car was that the individual employees should not be required to furnish the car and insurance for city work. The main problem being with liability and amount of coverage for this use of a car. The County is not in favor of any cost of living increases while the City was in favor of the 3% increase. Since the School had only one member present and could not vote, a stalemate existed. The County moved to accept the proposed budget for publication and to set the public hearing for the budget on February 10, 1986, at 6:30 P.M. at the Iowa City Civic Center, it was seconded by the City, Mayor Ambrisco declared the motion carried, 2/0. By making this motion, the County was not making final approval of the budget, but accepting it for publication and public hearing. The vacancy on the Board of Review has been advertised and there was one applicant. It was moved by the City, seconded by the County to appoint Keith A. Wymore to fill the Board of Review position for a six year term ending December 31, 1991. Motion carried unanimously, 2/0. The County has advertised to fill their vacancy on the Assessor's Examining Board and moved to appoint Patricia Sueppel as the County's representative on the Assessor's Examining Board for a six year term ending December, 31, 1991. The City seconded the motion which was passed unanimously, 2/0. It was moved by the County and seconded by the City to transfer the remaining $4,739 from the Special Appraiser's Fund to the Assessment Expense Fund to be expended as part of FY '87 budget. Motion carried unanimously, 2/0. There being no further business, it was moved by the City, seconded by the County, to adjourn at 7:10 P.M. Motion carried unanimously, 2/0. Dan L.
