Adjustments were also made in the property taxes upon deleting a Police Sergeant position. This decreased the total tax dollars by $496 but maintains the same total levy of 10.620. The revised property tax receipts are $75,935 less than the originally estimated amount of $11,345,727; revised tax askings total $11,269,792. .! FT' ,41 :.

A few Expanded Service Level (ESL) requests were approved for funding by the City Manager. Council approved two additional ESL's, one is for a computer terminal and printer requested by Animal Control, and the other is an increase to the electricity budget for street lights that will be installed in FY86. Most are one-time expenditures for capital outlay or are being funded within the current service level budget. Only the street light electricity is an ongoing expenditure. 10. The FY87 budget includes a receipt of Federal Revenue Sharing (FRS) monies of only $129,890 in FY87 as FRS is being eliminated early in the fiscal year. In the past, the City has received approximately $570,000 annually. The FY87 FRS entitlement and the FY86 ending fund balance will be used to fund the City's 1 contribution to the Human Service Agencies. $417,000 of past FRS monies was originally allocated for the remodeling of the Civic Center in conjunction with a new building addition; that project has been deferred and those funds have been reallocated for capital projects that will be started in FY86. Should the proposed property tax freeze materialize, these monies will be appropriated for the General Fund instead 1 of capital projects. I 11. Transit revenue includes funding from the Parking Systems ($430,500) which will result from increases in parking rates that were effective February 1, 1986. 12. The vacant positions eliminated in FY86 are reestablished in the FY87 budget excluding the Police Sergeant position. Although funding is provided, all other positions will be reviewed before they are reestablished. 13. The General Fund unreserved year-end balance has been increased to $1.4 million by the end of FY87. The preparation of the budget focused on increasing the balance while maintaining the current level of service. The larger fund balance will better meet cash flow requirements while establishing an emergency cash reserve. This emergency cash reserve will provide the City some funding flexibility should budget cutbacks be necessary due to a property tax freeze or further reductions in federal or state revenues. ,1 i L+v..XA..vvv.t..a.a.r'a.av-.a.cv:..tvv..:n........:..rrrr.v..............-A-.'..................w.......v w..n........w... BUDGET OVERVIEW Consistent with the practice of previous years, all revenue estimates are conservative. The uncertainty of Federal and State revenues continues to require a conservative approach. In budget preparation it is impor- tant to ensure that the level of revenue projected will actually materialize. Department budget requests were made for the same service level as was provided in FY86. Council made some reductions to the service level of the General Fund in FY86. Some of those have been reinstated in the FY87 budget proposals. GENERAL GOVERNMENTAL OPERATIONS General Governmental Operations consist of the General Fund, the Debt Service Fund, the Trust & Agency Fund, the Equipment Maintenance Fund and the Special Revenue Funds. A. PROPERTY TAX The City's property tax request of $11,269,792 for FY87 will be levied as follows: General Trust & Agency Subtotal Tort Liability Debt Service Transit Subtotal Ag.

Total assessed valuation in Iowa City increased from $1,174,427,158 to $1,249,041,753 as of January 1, 1985, or an increase of 6.4%. The majority of the increase, 4.1%, resulted from revaluation of real property (property was revalued in 1984 for the January 1, 1985, assessment). There was 2.8% growth in real property (new construction). There is a .5% decrease from various changes to valuations of commer- cial equipment, industrial machinery and personal property. The taxable valuation is computed by applying the State's rollback factor to the total assessed valuation. The rollback factor is designed to limit taxable valuation for the State, as a whole, to a 4% annual increase. The County Auditor makes adjustments to property valuations and applies the rollback factors, and property credits to arrive at the taxable valuations. Iowa City's taxable valuation was $959,316,614 at January 1, 1984. The taxable valuation at January 1, 1985 is $1,055,768,250 for all levies except debt service. or the debt se levy, property ts oincrement financing districts added backto the aluationTe totacedisfor TIFdistrictsare $2,945986, makingthetaxable valuation for the debt service levy $1,058,714,236. In preparing this operating budget, property taxes were held to a 6% increase for the average residential property owner, over FY86 taxes. The increase in taxable valuation for residential property was 8.6%. This is due to both the revaluation of property and also the rollback factor rising by 4% from FY86. The following chart shows how property taxes for the average residential property will be affected by the property tax levy recommended in the proposed budget. The average residential assessed valuation used in this chart is based on information obtained from the City Assessor.

The City also will receive revenue from taxes on agricultural buildings and land located within the City limits. As provided by State law, the tax on this property is $3.00375 per $1000 of assessed value. The assessed taxable value for agricultural property is $3,229,840 and will yield revenue of $9,702. Property taxes which fund General Fund operations include the following levies; FY86 FY87 General $7,247,084 $7,555,463 Tort Liability 355,300 882,438 Trust & Agency 664,657 438,917 Ag. Bldgs & Land 9,508 9 702 These tax askings will increase 7.4% ($609,971) in FY87. Excluding the substantial increase in the Tort Liability Levy for increased insurance costs, the tax askings increase by 1.0% ($82,833). Another source of revenue used for General Fund operation is the Monies and Credits replacement fund. Formerly a state law levied a tax on certain monies and credits and monied capital. This tax was repealed and the State established a replacement fund which provides to cities the approximate amount of revenue being received at the time the tax was repealed. In FY87, the City will receive $28,816. A Military Service Credit replacement has been established by the State which returns to cities part of the property tax lost to the Military Service Tax Credit. In FY87, this fund will return $13,800 to Iowa City for General Fund purposes. These monies are appropriated to cities by the State Treasurer in proportion to the money allocated by the State for the military service tax credit. The General Fund property tax levy is used for the support of many services, such as police, fire, library, park and recreation services. The levy cannot exceed $8.10 per $1000 of assessed valuation. The City also levies property tax for other purposes. These include Trust & Agency, Tort Liability, Transit and Debt Service. These funds can be utilized only for the purpose for which they are levied. The Trust & Agency property tax levy is used for the payment of pension and employee benefits. These include social security (FICA), the Iowa Public Employees Retirement System (IPERS), the Police and Fire Pension contributions, health insurance, life insurance, worker's compensation insurance premiums and unemployment compensation. State regulations allow cities to budget for FICA, IPERS, health insurance and life insurance under the Trust & Agency Levy only when the $8.10 maximum levy has been reached in the General Levy. In FY87, the General Levy is below the maximum levy limit, so Iowa City will be paying most 1 benefit costs out of the General Levy. Police and Fire Retirement contributions, worker's compensation insurance premiums, and unemployment compensation costs be will paid from the Trust & Agency Levy in FY87. This levy decreased substantiab i and for FY87 as a result of contributions ionsto the Police Fire Funds. The contributionsidecreased due to dicreasin s investment income on the funds. ' A special levy, Tort Liability, is provided to pay the cost of certain insurance coverage. This includes comprehensive general liability, motor vehicle liability, public official liability, errors and omissions, and false arrest insurance. The tort liability levy of $882,438 reflects the cost of insurance premiums and anticipated judgments for FY87. Insurance companies are substantially raising the premiums for business liability coverages. T Iowa City has experienced a 200% increase in premiums and is anticipating at least another 30% increase in FY87. State law permits the use of a Transit Levy for funding the operation of a municipal transit system. The levy cannot exceed $.54 $1000 per of assessed valuation. The intent of instituting the Transit Levy was to allow for the phase out of Federal Revenue Sharing for transit funding. The levy increased in FY86 from $.18 to $.36 and remains the same for FY87. Federal Revenue Sharing will not be used to fund Transit in FY87. The Debt Service levy provides funds for the payment of the principal and interest on general obligation bonds of the City. It can also be utilized - to fund the payment of any judgments against the City, unless other funding sources are provided by State law. The FY87 budget includes payments for the bond issue sold in November 1985 and a $1 million anticipated issue in FY87 for capital projects. This budget does not include debt service for swimming pool construction nor for a Civic Center addition. B. GENERAL FUND - REVENUES OTHER THAN PROPERTY TAX 1. Intergovernmental Revenue - Assistance from other governmental agencies is a major source of revenue. This includes both Federal and State assistance. Some these of funds are distributed according to population. Iowa City's population is 50,508, as reported in the 1980 Census. a. The bank franchise tax is a State tax levied on the net income of financial institutions. The State retains 55% of this tax with the remainder divided with 60% to the city and 40% to the county within which it originated. The FY87 projection of $30,000 is based upon actual receipts in past years. r b. Liquor profits are 10% of gross revenue of State liquor stores. In FY86, the estimate was based on $5.60 per capita ($282,845). In FY87 the estimate is $5.90 per capita ($297,997). In 1985, legislation (SF 395) was passed which placed a floor below which the amount distributed to cities cannot fall; FY87 will be the first year that it is effective. c. State Municipal Assistance is distributed to cities on a ratio of each city's population to total State population. This payment cannot exceed one-half of the city's property tax levy. The FY87 projection is based on $6.40 per capita ($323,251). This is $16,668 less than the amount used in ,r the FY86 budget. Both the amount and continuation of the program in FY87 will be a topic of discussion for the State Legislature in the current session. I d. The City of Iowa City is responsible for maintenance of all financial records for the Johnson County Council of Governments (JCCOG). The JCCOG budget is included in the City's budget. Total funding needed by JCCOG in FY87 amounts to $165,900 with Iowa City's share being $34,917. e. The FY87 projection for Federal Revenue Sharing is $129,890. This is based on the amount being received in the current entitlement period and assumes that the President's proposal for reduction will be approved. f. Road Use Tax collected by the State from the registration of motor vehicles, fuel tax, license fees and the use tax on motor vehicles, trailers and accessories and equipment is apportioned to each city based upon a ratio of the city's population to all Iowa cities. The per capita estimate for FY87 is $35.25 ($1,780,407). This is $63,135 more than expected in FY86. 2. Other Revenue The City establishes service charges both by contract and fee schedules. The Fire Department revenues include the fire protection contract with the University of Iowa ($372,712 to the General Fund and $90,630 to the Trust & Agency Fund for a total of $463,342) and Library services include $126,203 for services to Johnson County, 10% of the Library's operating budget. Recreation revenue of $303,858 includes admis- sions, lessons, entry fees and pool revenue. Other revenue is derived from activities such as police escort service, animal control fees, zoning and subdivision fees. In FY87, revenue from licenses and permits is budgeted at $321,275. Most of this revenue will come from r.1. building and rental permits or beer and liquor permits and licenses. Other sources of revenue are peddler's, electrician's, plumber's and animal licenses and burial permits. The FY87 budgeted revenue from fines and forfeitures of $360,093 includes $159,281 for parking fines, library fines of $71,600 assessed for overdue or damaged property, and $129,212 collected by the magis- trate's court for violation of the City or State codes such as motor vehicle violations and animal control violations. rr ra.......... u. rnuu•: rnvr....w. Use of money and property revenue comes from various sources. Interest income is projected at a 8.0% interest yield ($81,982). General -Fund miscellaneous revenues are composed of refunds, reimbursements of expenses and damages, miscellaneous sales and commissions or concessions. The commission from the cable TV franchise fee is projected to be $90,300. The remaining miscellaneous revenues total $43,585 for all 41 operating divisions, an average of $1,063 per division. C. GENERAL FUND - EXPENDITURES The proposed General Fund budget is $14,162,906 or an increase of 4.2% over the FY86 original budget. Increases in the General Fund expenditure budget were minimized as much as possible because of limited revenues in the General Fund. A comparison of percentage changes by major classification of expenditure follows: c, 1. Personal Services Personnel costs are primarily controlled by collective bargaining agreements. Employees of the City are represented by three unions: AFSCME (Local 5183), the Police Labor Relations Organization of Iowa City, and the International Association of Firefighters (Local #610). All supervisory, confidential, temporary and other employees who are excluded by law in Chapter 20 of the Code of Iowa are excluded from the units and from the terms, conditions or application of the Agreement. The majority of City employees is represented by AFSCME. This Union is comprised of two bargaining units, one composed exclusively of Library employees and the other composed of employees in all other departments. AFSCME is covered by a two year contract, ending June 30, 1987, that includes a 4% across-the-board salary increase each year.

Commodities The previous chart indicates that commodity costs show a modest increase in FY87. Commodities mainly consist of office and cleaning supplies, and maintenance and repair materials for buildings, streets and equipment. Generally, supplies and materials are projected at a 3% increase over. FY86. 3. Services and Charges Services and Charges cover expenses for insurance premiums, payments to Aid to Agencies, printing, various service contracts, and gas, electricity and telephone. Overall, the budget for services and charges rises 11.7% in FY86 and another 6.2% in FY87. Insurance premiums jumped from $453,776 in FY85 to $708,062 in FY86 and then are projected to be $882,438 in FY87. Without insurance costs, the Services and Charges total $2,248,416 for FY85, $2,309,842 for FY86 and $2,322,483 for FY87. The percent increases are moderate without insurance costs: 2.7% from '85 to '86 and 0.5% from '86 to 187.

GENERAL FUND YEAR-END BALANCE The estimated General Fund year-end balance for June 30, 1987, is computed as follows: 6-30-85 Actual Balance $1,912,589 Less: 6-30-85 Encumbrances (117,541) 6-30-85 Carryovers and Amendments181 584) Adjusted 6-30-85 BalanceTFITITI FY86: Estimated Receipts $13,655,062 Estimated Expenditures 13,623,942) 31,120 6-30-86 Estimated Balance 'ITg7j FY87: Budgeted Receipts $14,506,456 Budgeted Expenditures 14,162,906) 343,550 Less Reserved Balances: Broadband Telecommunications (60,904) Parkland Acquisition Reserve (352,052) Recreation Facility Reserve (99,156) Deposits Escrow (34,000) BBT Equipment Replacement Reserve (30,500) Library Equipment Replacement Reserve' 2,539) Estimated Unreserved 6-30-87 Balance 11:!32_ —�p The estimated 6-30-87 balance is higher than the average $800,000 balance that the City has tried to maintain annually. This balance is needed to provide for cash flow in the first quarter of the new fiscal year due to the fact that property taxes are not received until October. The following chart shows cash flow needs or how expenditures have exceeded receipts in the first quarter of recent years. 1 ,^MMN....t.�.'..•\.a..ati .. vv.i..�v.+...nw v ............. .........4 .... �. ..... .:.Y .v.:.�v.m .�n. July/September July/September Shortfall Fiscal Year Receipts Expenditures in Receipts FY86 $2,098,601 $4,092,650 (51,994,049 FY84 $1,814,963 $3,722,020 ($1,907,057) FY83 $1,203,122 $3,123,522 ($1,920,400) $1,354,860 $2,694,988 ($1,340,128) FY82 $ 964,788 $2,402,406 ($1,437,618) J I The projected year end balance will provide for the majority of the shortfall. The remainder is funded iinternally by balances in other funds until property taxes are received in October. It is becoming increasingly difficult each year to fund the shortfall internally as the other available fund balances previously used to fund the shortfall continue to decrease. Three prime examples of fund balances used in the past are the Transit Replacement Reserve, the Pollution Control Operating Fund and the Parking Operating Fund. The Transit Reserve has been depleted due to its funding of the new Transit Facility. The Pollution Control Fund balance will be used for future sewer plant improvements and the Parking fund balance will be used for parking facility improvements and transit funding. In addition the higher g year-end balance will provide an emergency cash reserve. Such a reserve will I allow the flexibility to deal with a funding cutback or unexpected expenditure increases without having to i resort to immediate fee increases or budget cuts. The substantial increase in the year-end balance is due in large part to the recent decision to fund Transit from Parking revenues instead of from the General Fund. In FY86 and FY87 over $820,000 of Parking revenues will be used for Transit. If, instead, that funding would have come from General Fund, the year-end balance projected for June 30, 1987, for the General Fund would have been closer to $700,000 Potential decreases in federal and state revenues and the possibility of future property tax limitations make it critical that the City increase its fund balance now. Resources will continue to be limited in the future and the City will most likely need to continue to tighten its belt. The opportunity exists in FY87 to increase the year-end balance which will provide increased financial stability in the future. The larger year-end balance will not solve all of the projected financial problems, but it will be a step in the right direction. i E. DEBT SERVICE FUND This fund provides for the payment of the principal and interest on general obligations of the City. Funding is provided by the Debt Service Tax Levy and abatement from various Enterprise funds for their capital improvements which were funded by General Obligation Bonds. Bonds were sold in 1985 to provide i G funding for capital improvements projects now in progress or completed. 36.12% of the $4,700,000 sold is abated by Airport (3.54%), Water (19.80%) and special assessments (12.78%). Debt service for FY87 includes a $1,000,000 issue for capital projects that will be in progress in FY87. As stated in the Fiscal Policy (Capital Improvements Program FY87-91), "Debt incurred as a general obligation of the City of Iowa City shall not exceed statutory limits: presently 5% of the market value of the taxable property within the corporate limits as established by the City Assessor." This schedule shows the relation of Iowa City's allowable debt margin and the debt incurred for FY84, FY85, FY86 and FY87: Total Allowable Debt Property Margin (5% of Debt at Debt as % of Valuation Total Property Val.) July 1 Allowable Debt Margin FY87 $1,248,123,717 $62,406,186 $13,625,000 22% FY86 $1,174,927,158 $58,746,358 $10,500,000 18% FY85 $1,124,655,722 $56,232,786 $12,100,000 22% FY84 $ 960,921,776 $48,046,089 $13,400,000 28% F. TRUST AND AGENCY FUND This fund provides for the payment of pension and employee benefits. Funding is provided by the Trust and Agency tax levy. The costs covered by the Trust and Agency levy in FY87 will include only the police and fire pension contributions, worker's compensation insurance premiums and unemployment compensation claims. The City will contribute 17.686% of all sworn police officers' salaries and 29.535% of all firefighters' salaries to the respective pension/retirement systems. G. OTHER FUNDS The Equipment Maintenance Fund provides maintenance for all City vehicles and equipment and rents vehicles to other City departments from a central vehicle pool. Funding is provided from the chargeback for the maintenance services and the rentals of vehicles. The Special Revenue Funds include JCCOG (Johnson County Council of Goverments), CDBG (Community Develop- ment Block Grant), Road Use Tax and Federal Revenue Sharing. The JCCOG fund is an agency fund as the City only acts as custodian for the fund and provides accounting services for JCCOG. The CDBG Fund accounts for revenue from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant programs and is restricted in use for eligible projects as defined by Federal regulations. The Road Use Tax Fund accounts for revenue from the State which is restricted to be used for V , only street maintenance, traffic engineering and street construction costs. the FY87 budget includes $129,890 in receipts from Federal Revenue Sharing and anticipates the program to be eliminated during FY87. ENTERPRISE FUNDS The Enterprise Funds include Parking, pollution Control, Water, Refuse, Landfill, Airport and Transit. These are utilities or services supported primarily from revenues for services provided. A. Enterprise Fund Revenues Rate increases for Refuse and Transit were effectively 1, 1985. Refuse Collection is now self-supporting and receives no subsidy from the General Fund. Transit operating assistance received from the Federal and State governments has continually been cut since FY83. The City Council has decided to subsidize Transit from parking revenues. As a result, the operating subsidy from the General Fund decreases 27% (from $404,353 in FY86 to $301,900 in FY87). The FY87 budget includes Federal Section 9 Urban Mass Transit Administration funding of $115,384 for transitis from at ,26, the the as the gas tax through the Iowa DOT in FY86; this is expected to be a one-time payment. Parking rates increased February 1, 1986. Parking revenue includes $1,289,020 from the parking ramps and $652,000 from on -street and off-street meters $1,942,020 in operating revenue. Parking fines were chan�gedlots fromand $2 toi$3�J nuarya1, 1for a986. tParkinof g fines of $190,000 are receipted in the Parking fund to satisfy revenue requirements for Parking Revenue bonds. If the balance at year-end is adequate, those fines will be transferred to the General Fund. Landfill fees will increase April 1, 1986, as a result of a State mandate that requires 25t per ton to be paid to a State fund for cleaning up landfills to $7.75 per ton. . This will change the current rate of $7.50 per ton Water rates will be increased during FY86. A 2,000,000 gallon water storage tank has been con- structed. Water revenues will pay the general obligation bonds that were used to fund the project. Pollution Control rates will increase when a capital improvement program is approved for the system. Airport operations are funded primarily from the operating subsidy from the General Fund (48% of total revenues) and from building rentals (39% of total revenues). B. Enterprise Fund Expenditures If 1. Operating Funds Parking, sewer and water revenues fund operations and also pay the principal and interest due on their respective revenue bond issues. In FY87, $398,467 of sewer revenue, $154,554 of water revenue, and $33,000 of airport revenue will also be used to pay general obligation bond issues i which were sold to finance sewer, water and airport projects.

This did not increase the debt service. In December 1985, Council decided to subsidize Transit with parking revenues; transfers were added in both FY86 and FY87, $390,458 and $430,500, respectively. In FY87, $195,000 is budgeted for debt service costs on revenue bonds that will be issued in spring 1986 to fund the j Dubuque St. Ramp addition. Pollution Control expenditures are low for FY86 because there will be no transfer to the bond and interest sinking fund - the balance will be used to pay bonds and interest in FY86. In FY87, the expenditures include $74,791 for the sinking fund. In Water, FY86 transfers to Debt Service decreased, one bond issue has been paid off and only interest will be paid on the 1985 GO issue for a total transfer of $32,727. Also in FY86, there will be no transfer to the bond and interest sinking fund - the balance will be used to pay bonds and interest. Refuse expenditures reflect only inflationary increases, but no changes in service. 3 Landfill costs vary according to capital outlay and transfers. FY85 includes a transfer of $140,738 to the Capital projects fund for the Landfill Leachate Control project FY86, there is $200,000 budgeted for contracted excavation at the Landfill site(FY86-90 CIP). In , and $156,700 for the Capital Projects fund for a lift station to be constructed to take leachate to the wastewater treatment plant. FY87 has no capital projects planned. The Airport pays $10,000 each year for GO Bonds sold in FY83 for T -Hangars. FY87 shows an additional $23,000 in the transfer to Debt Service for GO bonds that were issued to fund airport hangar that was constructed in the fall of 1985. In Transit, bus maintenance costs were too low in FY85, so they increased by $190,077 in FY86. On the other hand, operational changes produced $125,950 in expenditure reductions in FY86. In FY87, those service cuts reduced the expenditures by $171,900 of which $72,279 is due to lower bus imaintenance costs. 2. Reserve Funds I The revenue bond ordinances require that Parking, special accounts: Pollution Control and Water set aside these a) Bond and Interest Sinking Reserves - amounts sufficient to pay current bond and interest maturities. b) Bond and Interest Reserves - balances to be maintained that are equal to the maximum amount of principle and interest due on the bonds in any succeeding fiscal year. c) Depreciation, Extension and Improvement Reserve or Renewal and Improvement Reserves - $24,000 annually for Pollution Control, $36,000 annually for Water and $601,000 annually for Parking is transferred in from each respective operations fund for the purpose of funding capital improvements. d) Operations Reserve - only water bonds are required to carry this reserve; it needs a balance Of $50,000. Bonds called early may be paid from this reserve. Landfill, Airport, and Transit have separate reserves for future capital expenditures. Landfill's reserve is provided for purchase of additional landfill land or construction of a facility that may be deemed a necessary alternative to a landfill site.

League of Women Voters of Johnson County P.O. Box 2251, Iowa City, Iowa 52244 Feb. 25, 1986 To the Iowa City Council: The League of Women Voters of Johnson County appreciates the opportunity to comment on the proposed budget for fiscal year 1987. Basic to League activities is the principle that a democratic government depends upon the informed and active participation of its citizens. This hearing, the two budget review sessions, and articles in the media have given citizens adequate notice of pro- posed actions. You are to be commended for maintaining an open government and making copies of the budget available to the public. The League believes that efficient and economical government re- quires competent personnel, the clear assignment of responsibility, adequate financing, and coordination among the different agencies and levels of government. We realize that the need for a tight budget can thwart these principles and that accountability of pub- lic funds can be threatened by the lack of city personnel. The goal of maintaining current Iowa City service levels through economic development is a welcome one, but its achievement may require additional technical expertise. For example, statistically trained personnel who can provide financial comparisons for future decisions should be part of the city staff. The League believes that responsible government promotes the con- servation and development of natural resources in the public interest. A tight budget and strategies for economic development may threaten adherence to the comprehensive land use plan. The League urges you to monitor the protection of our environment, the efficient use of land and services, and the integrity of the city's neighborhoods during this fiscal year. We also believe that the local government should share in the solution of economic and social problems which affect the general welfare. In previous testimony we recommended that you consider public trans- portation a public service; that the deficit be alleviated by encouraging bus ridership and discouraging the use of cars(except for car pools). We also urge you to consider consodidation of the various bus systems now in operation, as well as coordination of schedules with the various institutions and industries in the city to make bus ridership more useful to citizens. Thank you for this opportunity to express our views on this real- istic budget which is aimed at maintaining the current city services.

Definitions A FAMILY DAYCARE HOME provides care for up to six children at a time, including the provider's own preschool -age children, for periods of two hours or more. There may be no more than four children under the age of 2 years. Registration with the Department of Human Services Is voluntary. Registered providers may join the Child Care Food Program, to ensure good nutrition to children in day care and to receive reimbursements for meals and snacks (tel. 338.7684). A GROUP DAY CARE HOME provides care for seven to eleven children, with no more than six children under 6 years old. An assistant at least 14 years old must be present whenever more than six children are in the home for more than two hours. Group day care homes must be registered with the Department of Human Services. A PRESCHOOL is a licensed facility for more than six children, ages 3.5 years, limited to three hours or less per day, designed for the development of social, intellectual, and motor skills. A CHILD DAY CARE CENTER is a licensed facility providing care for seven or more children for periods of at least two hours, and fewer than twenly- four hours, per day per child, on a regular basis. State and local regulations A LICENSE to operate a DAY CARE CENTER or a PRESCHOOL means that the facility met minimum standards on the day it was inspected — it does not guarantee good quality. Annual inspec- tions are conducted by the Department of Human Services (351-4630), the Johnson County Health Department (351-3085), and the State Fire Marshal (356.5257). Copies of licensing standards are available from the Dept. of Human Services, and written evaluations are filed at each center as well as at the Department of Human Services District Of- fice in Cedar Rapids. REGISTRATION of FAMILY DAY CARE HOMES is voluntary, and REGISTRATION of GROUP DAY CARE HOMES is mandatory, in Iowa. Registration does not guarantee good quality, but it does require a written agreement by the provider to meet minimum standards, to allow visits by the Dept. of Human Services, and to undergo criminal records checks and child abuse checks. No day care home, whether registered or unregistered, is permit- ted to care for more than six children under 6 years old. Family day care home and group day care home standards are available from the Department of Human Services (351.0200). Iowa City zoning regulations control areas where day care facilities may or may not be established. Check with Iowa City Urban Planning Division (356.5230). Coralville requires a special use permit of all child care facilities in residential districts. Check with the Coralville City Hall (351.1266). Community Coordinated Child Care (4 -Cs) of Johnson County P.O. Box 2876 Iowa City, Iowa 52244 Dear Parent: (319) 338.7684 Below you will find an alphabetized, partial list of considerations for parents choosing child care. Feel free to add your own, if you wish. Then, prioritize these considerations to help you choose the best child care arrangement for your child. Remember that you will probably not find the perfect arrangement, and that there is need for some give and take. Decide what considerations are most important for your family, taking into account your needs and preferences, your feelings, and, most important, your child. What will be best for her/him?

Variety of experiences Written agreement/policy statement/contract i Other: Choosing the right child care situation for your child involves careful thought, planning, and a bit of time and effort. Try to make a choice that will last for your family. Each family is different and has different needs, just as each child care provider is different, and provides child care in her own special style. Seek a provider with whom you can form a partnership, to share the.important job of helping your child grow and develop. Prepared by 4 -Cs of Johnson County, September IM i We ask only a monent of your time to hear our veiw point on the issue of financially supporting the Community Coordinated Child Care and Resource Center. There are several issues to deal i with here and we will address only the surface, with the hopes of curing some misconceptions. Our concern is that you are moving a little too quickly. If an educated decision can be made, it will be one which will benefit the community by insuring the continued I work of 4 -C's. i f; J We have been told that your main reason for not financially supporting 4 -C's is because they do not do home checks or require home day care providers using their referral to be registered with the Department of Human Services. The Council should realize I that registration of Day Care Providers with 6 or less children is optional. Only about 1 in 4 register. There are 93 registered homes in Johnson County and D.H.S. only inspects or checks about Ll of these homes each year, 95% go uninspected. Alas, state or county supervision of home daycare is very limited. They rely primarily on the parents of those children to insure their safety and well-being. As a result, the present minimal registration requirements provide a false sense of security to parents as well as yourselves. Registration does not draw a line between the competent and incompetent. We are currently lobbying through the Iowa Family Day Care Assoc. for a stronger law. 4 -C's is an organization whose goal is to educate both parents and providers and to facilitate more professional daycare. 4 -C's is not a policing body - it does not have the resources. It leaves that job to the state and to the parents, just as the state does. I As of the 1980 census, there were 5,311 children in Johnson County under the age of 5 and another 4,503 children between the age of 5 and 9. 4 -C's services are potentially of benefit to all of them. Personally I can tell you I have been doing home day care for the past 5 years. Y an not a registered home. I feel there is no benefit t9 being registered. It was also mentioned that T parents preferred registered homes. It is a question I have been asked only twice by parents and I signed up those children, anyway. I am full when I want to be and have turned down at least 6 children since August. I've received many calls from parents in need of day care through 4 -C's referral service. Just last week I worked 5 days for a couple from Peoria, Ill. with a two year old, who had to come to Iowa City because the father needed to have surgery. The mother mentioned as she was leaving that had the University Hospital not been able to refer thea to 4 -C's, a stressful time for them would have been more worrisome. 4 -C's offers a training course in cooperation with Kirkwood Comm. College which I have attended in the past and found valuable. It is the most extensive information course to be offered in our area. They have toys in their library that are essential to the growth and development of young children, that I could not afford to purchase. The library system allows me to offer the children ' a great variety. Fulfilling 4 -C's funding request will help ensure that Johnson County has the most nuturing child care in the state, and maintain a lifeline which extends to literally thousands of young children. i 14v.:atiaa� ar\aaa\Na\'.aa\t\aatn++wnwN..:: Yt:vattaa�an..A�.�nfi:.'ervr\+w.v.v«.w..�.wa�l.v.Vnwiww�.�r� (3) 1980 cencus - 5,311 children under the age of 5 4.503 children between 5 and 9 9,814 total National Figure - 60 to 80 percent of all child care is done in the home. % from i census total c ry, % 5/under 50% - 2655 i 14v.:atiaa� ar\aaa\Na\'.aa\t\aatn++wnwN..:: Yt:vattaa�an..A�.�nfi:.'ervr\+w.v.v«.w..�.wa�l.v.Vnwiww�.�r� (3) 1980 cencus - 5,311 children under the age of 5 4.503 children between 5 and 9 9,814 total National Figure - 60 to 80 percent of all child care is done in the home.
