To provide some background, bed and breakfast inns is a rapidly spreading concept of providing short-term lodging to guests in a more personalized "home -style" environment. Usually the inns resemble residences or are converted resi- dences within a country or residential setting. Integral to this concept is providing guests with the comforts of home with guests usually staying in bedrooms and sharing meals in a kitchen or dining room. The Zoning Ordinance does not specifically recognize bed and breakfast inns which resulted in a matter recently being referred to the Zoning Code Interpretation Panel (ZCIP) for a determination. By memo dated August 2, 1985 hotel (as tdefined by thePanel Zoningound that Ordinance and thee would be Iowa State Code,considered Chapter 170B.2(4) and that bed and breakfast establishments are not permitted in residential zones." The Panel's determination was based on the fact that the property in question would not have been owner -occupied. The Panel did not attempt to clarify how bed and breakfast inns under other circum- stances would have been classified. According to this determination, bed and breakfast inns will need to be licensed by the state and located only in those zones accommodating ho- tels; CB -2, CB -10, CH -1 and ORP. If the Council wishes to permit Bed and Breakfast Inns in residential zones an ordinance amendment will be re- quired. tp4/3 i %4 City of Iowa City' MEMORANDUM = Date: August 2, 1985 To: File From: Zoning Code Interpretation Panel Re: Bed and Breakfast Establishments In response to an inquiry from Sherri Patterson filed August 2, 1985 regard- ing bed and breakfast establishments, the Panel found that this use would be considered a hotel as defined by the Zoning Ordinance and the Iowa State Code, Chapter 170B.2(4) and that bed and breakfast establishments are not permitted in residential zones. The decision rested on the fact that the occupants of bed and breakfast inns are transient. The panel considered the inclusion of bed and breakfast establishments under the category of home occupation, rooming house and hotel. In the specific instance before the Panel, the property would not have been owner -occupied; the category of home occupation was, therefore, eliminated. A rooming house is defined as a dwelling.in which space is let to thisour or situationewasopossible,tit was -recognized that utheit was users agreed b behat d breakfast inns are more transient than roamers and often a bed and breakfast establishment could have fewer than four people on the premises. The definition of hotel, Section 36-4(h)(4), refers to a place of lodging for guests. A guest is defined as "an individual who shares a .dwelling in a non -permanent status for not more than 30 days." This term, in the opinion of the panel, more aptly describes the user of a bed and breakfast inn. Further, the definition of hotel in the Zoning Ordinance includes reference to a State license. In reviewing Chapter 170B.2(4) of the Iowa Code, Iowa Hotel Sanitation Code, the Panel found the definition of hotel stated there to be applicable to bed and breakfast establishments since it refers to "any...place where sleeping accommodations are furnished transient guests for hire." These establishments would require a State license. bj3/10 F a L E 0 SEP 13 19As MARIAN K.

City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: March 13, 1906 To: Mayor and City Council From: Terrence L. Timmins, City Attorney Re: Detailed Status Report on City Council Referrals to Legal Department Introduction: At the conclusion of my evaluation by the City Council in late February, I requested that the Council establish for me, and for the Legal Department, the major objectives that the Council wishes to see accomplished by the Department during this coming year. In this context, I suggested to Council that a good starting point would be their examination of the list of pending issues and referrals in an effort to determine priorities and set deadlines for the Legal Department. In recent weeks, a number of issues which appear on the Legal Department's referral list have come up for discussion by the City Council. In some of these discussions, dissatisfaction has been expressed regarding the priority which has been assigned to certain of these issues or projects, and our progress in dealing with them. As a consequence of both of these developments, time has been set aside during the informal Council session of March 24 for discussion of the Legal thartment's list of discussion I illeinithissn memo update the Councilinrmoretdetaillasa tto the status of individual projects and issues, particularly those which appear on the City Council's referral list. Discussion: In general, when organizing my work and the work of the Legal Department, I attempt to set priorities with two competing concepts iwould press those competing concepts as n mind. I woex- follows: How im ortant is it and/or uld how ressin is it? Some matters deserve high priority'simply because of their importance, even though there may be no particular deadline for completion. Other matters receive high priority, not because of their importance, but because they must be dealt with or completed within a short period of time. The Iowa -Illinois franchise issue falls into the first category and receives priority treatment because of its importance, although the Council certainly wants it dealt with as quickly as possible. The recently completed acquisi- tion phase of the Dubuque Street Improvement Project fell into the second category and received high priority treatment because we were trying to meet a state -imposed deadline for FAUS funding for that project. Thus, it often M ��\volar t� ova ataa Ma:.\avv .taf v.na.t.ay.�f_... i s a+a .aa happens that important matters have to give way to less important but more pressing matters. As a final comment, I would only observe that this system for prioritizing is fairly loose and leaves a lot of room for debate. What I want, to do in the remainder of this memo is to give the Council a more detailed status report on certain issues and projects which the Council has referred to the Legal Department, indicating what priority has been assigned those items and why. The first and foremost item on the Legal Department referral list from the City Council is the gas and electric franchise issue. That item has received my most direct and immediate attention since late July of last year. The City Council finalized its position on many franchise issues late last year and its position on those issues was communicated to Iowa -Illinois in early January. On February 19, I met with Iowa -Illinois Vice President and General Counsel Ed Hartman. At that meeting, Mr. Hartman presented the Company's point -by -point response to many of the issues raised by the franchise ordi- nances and the utility regulatory ordinance. Another meeting has been sched- uled for March 21. After that meeting, 1 will by memo detail outstanding issues wherein agreement has not been reached. At this point, there are several disagreements on rather major policy issues. If these cannot be resolved at the next meeting, I will point them out in the memo and ask for policy direction. The second and third items on the referral list, self-insurance and risk management, are closely related and represent items which the staff believes are of major importance. They appear on the Legal Department referral list because of my involvement in arriving at a staff position on both issues. They have been assigned a high priority both because of their importance and because of the need to resolve them prior to the July 1 renewal dates for City liability insurance coverages. The Risk Management Team will make a recommendation as to whether to insure or self -insure, and it is anticipated that this recommendation will be forthcoming in May. The Team will also present a proposal for a Risk Management Program to Council in either April or May. The fifth item on the referral list involves the power pole at West Benton and Mormon Trek. The Council referred this matter to me last fall in re- sponse to concerns over safety. The item was placed high on the list because of the intensity of the Council's concern. Most of the background and re- search has been completed, but I have not yet prepared a response to the Council. My reason for not responding is as follows. At present, the City is negotiating two franchises with Iowa -Illinois and we are pursuing the Benton Street Bridge Project which will necessitate a rather major relocation of the Benton Street power line at the point that it crosses the Iowa River. It is my recommendation that we let the West Benton Street/Mormon Trek power pole issue "ride" until these other more important issues are resolved with Iowa -Illinois. Item six on the Council referral list is the Newspaper Vending Ordinance. It was given this priority because of the intensity and long standing nature of the City Council's concern on this issue. Item 10 on that list is the so called "Kegger Ordinance" and item 11 is the Sidewalk Cafes Ordinance. Gener= ally, unless other direction is given by Council, I will do ordinance draft- ing or revision projects on a "first in/first out - last in/last out" basis. .j" •�VMHttt aav(.ay.ta v.+vi .t-♦ 3 The ordinance projects listed above were prioritized on that basis because I did not perceive that the Council had any particular deadline in mind for any of those projects. Due to the press of other business, including work on higher priority items, I have not had an opportunity to complete my review of the Newspaper Vending Ordinance or of the Kegger Ordinance, nor have I had an opportunity to commence work drafting an ordinance on Sidewalk Cafes. As to items eight and nine, which are closely related, Mr. Boyle is working with the Planning Commission on the entire question of fees, particularly as regards "impact fees' for new development. His report on that matter will be made in conjunction with that of the Planning Commission, unless otherwise directed by Council. Another item which has been of concern to the Council since early last fall is the ACE Salvage/Russell Trucking parcel. Since that item involves annexa- tion, zoning and use issues, and since Council referred it to both the Legal Department and the Planning Department for resolution, it was placed on the referral list for the Department of Planning and Program Development. The status of this item is somewhat confused at this time. In my original dis- cussion of. that matter with the City Council, I indicated that instead of attempting to obtain compliance by the present owners with the original covenants as they were recorded in 1974, the City .should re-examine those covenants to determine their appropriateness at this time. I suggested that once the City had itself determined what was necessary under the circum- stances as they exist today and had determined what should be done out there, I would then approach the property owners in an attempt to obtain voluntary compliance. The present owners might very well find an updated set of re- quirements to be more acceptable than those contained in the original cove- nants. The key to this proposal is an updated recommendation from the Planning Department as to what is necessary on the site today, and which, if any, of the original covenants the City could forego at this time. I will work with the Planning Department to formulate such a recommendation. I will not approach the present owners to discuss voluntary compliance until that reconnendation is finalized. Conclusion: Although the Legal Department's Pending Issues and Referral List has been scheduled for discussion by the City Council at the March 24 informal ses- sion, I want to encourage Council members to discuss that matter with me, or any individual item on that list for that matter, at any time that a question or concern arises. I often find myself setting my priorities in a vacuum, based on rather shaky perceptions of Council priorities. I will welcome inpuypy Councilmembers A any time. errence L.

City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: March 4, 1986 To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Terrence L. Timmins, City Attorney Re: Proposal for City Subsidization of the Park 'n Shop Program -Legal Ramifications Introduction: In reflecting on the proposal recently outlined for the City to subsidize the Park 'n Shop Program at the downtown ramps, it initially appeared to me that there may be a legal problem with the concept. Although I have conducted research on the subject, I have not been able to come up with any case law that is entirely on point. However, based on the research I have conducted, it is my conclusion that a legitimate rationale may exist to justify and support the proposal, and that it could be upheld on that basis. In this memo, I will first outline my concerns with the proposal. I will then review what relevant case law I have found, and its bearing on the issues presented in our situation. Discussion: Generally speaking, when the City engages in any enterprise activity, such as the provision of parking services, transit services, sewer and water utility service, it must make that service available to the public on a fair and equal basis. In setting rates and in charging fees for the provision of such services, the City must treat similarly situated indi- viduals, in a fair and equal manner. When a municipality, establishes a rate structure, for instance, for the provision of sewer and water serv- ices, it must do so without discriminating. against particular individuals or classes of individuals. Generally, the body of case law regarding public utility rate making applies to municipal rate making. In the field of public utility rate making, it is recognized that the utility may charge a different rateas between residential and commercial/industrial users. However, in those instances the public utility has the burden of demonstrating that there is a rational basis for the discrimination, and that it supports a legitimate interest. In that context, public utilities have argued that it is rational to provide a given unit of service at a lower rate to high volume users, such as commercial/industrial user, since their cost of providing that service to the high volume user is marginally less than it is than providing that same unit of service to a low volume user, such as a homeowner. This rationale has generally been upheld. In the context of a municipal parking ramp, much the same thing takes place when the City sells a monthly parking permit for less than what the per hour fee would be for use during that same period of time. Again, the City can argue that there is a marginal savings to the City in the case of monthly parking permit because there is less expense involved in admini- stering a monthly parking permit than there is in collecting fees from SV -7 hourly parkers. So the fact that one user pays less for a given unit of "service" does not necessarily mean that the City is impermissably dis- criminating between users. The Downtown Association recently proposed, in response to the parking rate increase, that the City increase its participation in the Park 'n Shop Program which has been in effect for a number of years. In order to flesh out the potential problem with that proposal, it will be necessary j for me to review with you how the Park 'n Shop Program has worked in the past. Essentially, if a parker in one of the ramps did business with a participating merchant, and purchased the requisite dollar value of goods, that merchant applied a stamp to the parker's ticket. Each stamp applied to the ticket entitled that parker to an hour's worth of parking "credit." Thus, if a parker who had been in the ramp two hours presented a ticket i with one stamp on it, the parker was only charged for the second hour. Under the former rate structure, the first hour's parking was 35 cents, and the second hour and succeeding hours were at 30 cents per hour. Under our hypothetical, the parker would have owed a parking fee of 65 cents. However, because the ticket had one stamp on it, the first hour fee - 35 cents - was not be charged to the parker, and he would have been allowed to leave the ramp upon payment of 30 cents. The 35 cent charge for the first hour was then charged back to the merchant who stamped the ticket. Under that system, it was the merchant who subsidized the parker. The City realized the entire value of epar Rent services rendered - 30 cents from the parker and 35 cents from the merchant who stamped the parker's ticket. When the hotel opened in the fall of 1984, it was pointed out that this system was inequitable to certain merchant participants in that when two merchants stamped the same ticket, one was charged 351 and the other 309. Also, it was recognized that some parkers obtained two or more stamps, but stayed less than an hour in the ramp, in which case the City realized more parking revenue than it was really entitled to. In order to adjust these inequities from a bookkeeping perspective, the City agreed to charge back only 301 to merchants on the first hour of parking, instead of the full first hour rate of 359. Thus, a merchant who stamped a parking ticket was charged only 301, no matter how many other merchants, if any, stamped the ticket. This is the procedure that was in effect until the new rates recently went into effect. Under the new rate structure, the parking fee is a flat 401 per hour. The DTA has proposed that each stamp applied to a parking ticket continue to entitle the parker to an hour's free parking, but that the merchant who stamped the card be charged back only 301 for each stamp applied to a ticket. Thus, instead of losing only a nickel on the first hour of park- ing by Park 'n Shop parkers, the City would lose a dime on every hour parked. Also, this can no longer be seen as a bookkeeping adjustment, in that the flat rate eliminates any inequities between merchants who stamp for the first hour of parking, and those who stamp for the second and succeeding hours. The proposal to increase City participation now has to be viewed as a City subsidy for the Park 'n Shop Program. The question presented is whether or not such a subsidy constitutes impermissible discrimination against non -participating parkers and merchants or whether it is rationally directed at achieving a legitimate governmental end. 5X7 In researching the matter, I found only one case on point and it did not involve a subsidy indentical to the one now being contemplated in Iowa City. In Jarvill vs. Eugene, 289 Ore 157, 613 P.2d 1, the city initiated free ark in in s owntown, the rationale being that that would encour- age own own shopping and thus the revitalization of the downtown central business district area. The court in that case upheld the measure, saying that it served a legitimate governmental purpose. County Board of Arlin ton Count v. Richards, 434 U.S. 5, 98 S. Ct. 24, invo ve an or 1 - nonce pro iliiiing on -s ree parking in residential areas except to resi- dents thereof, to persons doing business with the residents and to some visitors, all of whom were eligible to receive free parking permits. Citing permissible social and environmental objectives, the court upheld the ordinance saying it did not deny equal protection to non-residents. In our circumstances, an effort by the City to encourage shopping in the downtown and utilization of the parking ramps by shoppers would probably be viewed as a legitimate end of government, particularly in light of the City's massive investment in its downtown and its continuing efforts to make its downtown an economically viable regional shopping facility. Indeed, the City's continued financial and economic health depend on the viability of its downtown commercial base. Not only that, but the City's indebtedness on its parking ramps can only be paid off if there is maximum utilization of them by persons shopping in the downtown. Thus, the suc- cess of the City's efforts to retire those bonds and the continued eco- nomic vitality of downtown merchants could be seen as mutually dependent. If' one accepts the legitimacy of the governmental end which the City's subsidization of the Park 'n Shop Program seeks to achieve, the only remaining issue is whether or not the means chosen to achieve that end is itself rationally directed at achieving that end. In Jarvill vs.Eu ene, the city determined that free parking for all Parkers in its own own would serve that end. Some of those parkers would have been shoppers and other would not. In that case, the means chosen was probably overinclusive, but was nonetheless upheld. In our situation, Iowa City would be utilizing a much narrower means to achieve the same end. The subsidy proposed would only go to _shoppers, and then only to shoppers spending a certain minimum amount at a atin stores. Other shoppers who nonetheless seen money n the own own, but eTfFer not enough or not with participating merchants, would not receive the subsidy. The question presented is whether the proposed subsidy would be so underinclusive as not to be rationally directed at achieving the desire ed nd-- In my view, the proposed City subsidy of the Park 'n Shop Program would probably be upheld, even though it is somewhat underinclusive. It is clear that Iowa City cannot afford a free parking program such as that reviewed in the Jarvill case. Furthermore, our program must rely to a great extent on m_e_rcFa_nT participation, both for financial reasons and for purposes of differentiating shoppers from non -shoppers. Finally a key consideration is that while all shoppers may not receive the subsidy, the program and its benefits are available to all downtown shoppers and all downtown merchants alike on a fair and equal basis. As such, even though the proposed subsidy would not benefit all downtown merchants and shop- pers, it would be available to all and would benefit substantial numbers of them. S�(7 t: LNid;tia(taat 4 Under constitutional equal protection analysis, the classification of persons to wham the proposed subsidy would apply (shoppers spending in excess of $10 at participating downtown merchants) would probably be upheld by a reviewing court, despite the underinclusiveness problem. "Under that test the classification must be sustained unless it is patently arbitrary and bears no rational relationship to a legitimate governmental interest. Id. It does not deny equal protection simply because in practice it results in some inequality; practical problems of government permit rough accommodations; and the classification will be upheld if any state of facts reasonably can be conceived to justify it."

Sunday Sales Liquor Licenses and Permits This memo is to clarify what is done with the liquor profit proceeds from Sunday sales licenses and permits. A portion of these monies formerly went directly to the County's Mental Health and Institution fund for treatment of substance abuse. Now all these monies go directly to the Iowa State Beer and Liquor Control fund. The Department of Substance Abuse distributes the Sunday sales monies in grants for prevention of substance abuse programs: - one-half to counties, on a 3 to 1 match agreement, who want to have a prevention program. and the other half to agencies for innovative prevention services. Johnson County will receive $7,226 in FY86 and they are adding it to.their funding appropriation for MECCA. MECCA is also a recipient of an innovative grant in FY86; they will receive $24,000 for a program to help children of alcoholics. What this means to the City is that it seems fewer liquor -related monies are being funneled back to the community. The legislature appropriates the money in the Beer and Liquor Control fund annually. Unless those appropriations are changed, the City will continue to get requests from agencies wanting to use the City's liquor profits. Therefore, a portion of the City's liquor profit monies are currently being distributed to local agencies. The use of liquor profits is often discussed in conjunction with the funding of budget requests from human service agencies who provide substance abuse programs. bc4 i Is 0 I D -R -A -F -T �� �• iii ���I �� RISE PROGRAM: PROJECT AND FUNDING V STATUS REPORT C 1C6S ` V . ' ' C FEBRUARY •19, 1986 ��J.✓ "�' (J GENERAL INFORMATION . As of February 18, a total of 82 RISE applications had been submitted. (This total counts. each application submitted, including if separately submitted, in two program funding categories). Twenty-five were for the Immediate Opportunity part of the program, 56 for Local Develop- ment (Competitive Rating) funding and one locally initiated for Regional Development funding. The first 1986 deadline for submission of Local Development (Competitive Rating) applications was February 1. Applications submitted by that date are scheduled to be acted upon by the beginning of April. The next deadline for submission of Local Development project applications is September 1. IMMEDIATE OPPORTUNITY PROJECTS Of the 25 Immediate Opportunity applications received, eight have been authorized a total of $2.90 million in RISE funds. These :projects will aid in the creation of some 1,032 new jobs and in the investment of nearly $41 million in other capital. The largest project funded will assist the start-up of a new 600 -job, $24 million Rockwell -Collins global navigation system electronics plant to be located in Coraiville. 'The Transportation Commission decided not to fund one large Immediate Opportunity application. This project involves a new regional shopping mall proposed for Sioux City. Although the project was not' funded as an Immediate Opportunity, a parallel Local Development application will be considered by the Commission. Thirteen other Immediate Opportunity applications have been (or will be) returned to the applicants because they were not eligible for Immediate Opportunity treatment or were substantially incomplete. Five of the 13 applications were resubmitted for consideration as Local Development (Competitive Rating) projects prior to the February 1' deadline. One Immediate Opportunity project application was withdrawn by the applicant prior to Transportation Commission action. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT (COMPETITIVE RATING) PROJECTS The 56 Local Development (Competitive Rating) project applications received prior to February 1 range, in terms of RISE funding requested,' from $22,450 to $7.5 million; they range in scope from local street paving to a newAnterchange on an urban interstate highway. Many of the projects are similar in purpose and involve improving access into undeveloped industrial areas or industrial parks.

Dubuque St. Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mr. Poula: Thank you for your letter of February 27, 1986, to the City Council on behalf of the Concerned Taxpayers of Iowa City regarding the FY87 City budget. Your letter was duly noted during Council's discussion of the FY87 budget at the regular Council meeting on March 11, 1986, at which' time the budget was approved for certification. While Council did not make any further changes in the budget based upon your suggestions, I can assure you that each of your concerns is duly noted. Some of these items will be addressed again by Council during the fiscal year* and Council certainly retains the prerogative of modifying or deleting certain items from the budget at that time. In addition, the Capital Improvements Program projects scheduled for implementation after FY87 will be discussed during the next budget preparation cycle and each will be reassessed in terms of its priority at that time. The City Council welcomes the involvement of Concerned Taxpayers of Iowa City and Council members and staff are willing to meet with representa- tives from your organization at any time or to provide specific informa- tion regarding any of your concerns upon request. Many current and former Council members have expressed disappointment in the past over the fact that few if any citizens normally become involved in the budget preparation process, either during Council work sessions at which budget programs are publicly discussed or at the scheduled public hearings on each annual budget. I am pleased that this trend seems to have somewhat reversed itself this year. A small group of concerned I citizens attended the Council budget work session in January. This in- volvement, along with the formation of Concerned Taxpayers of Iowa City is very encouraging. �AUt<iLaial.a l.. a�t�\h aaatavaaaQw+(nu:•wofrh'uaa.....w.._.A...n.�.....�rwnv..vin ..vi. ,�w.v..ay.•n..aran Mr. Poula March'13, 1986 Page 2 I appreciate your concerns and 1 welcome your involvement in the budget process.

Sand Reservations.TO: City of Bloomfield City Hall Bloomfield, Iowa 52537 Phone: 515-664-2260 Number of Reservations City Signed ■ March 14, 1986 Members of the City Council and the Planning and Engineering Staff of Iowa City: We hope this will be useful to you as you plan for the completion of Scott Boulevard. I think for the first time it graphically points out the problems which several hundreds of people must face who live within 2 to 21 blocks of the planned industrial road if it is to be located along the route sketched in yellow. Lewis E. January, M.D. i March 4, 1986 Mr. Mayor and Members of the City Council: Thank you for permitting me to speak. With me is Keith Wilson, from Tulane Court. I am from Hanover Court. I will be brief and I'll file this statement with you after I've finished reading it. I speak on behalf of the 70 citizens who filed petitions with you in 1983 expressing concern about extending Scott Boulevard to Rochester Avenue along the presently unpaved section of this street. However there are many, many more people in this area of Iowa City who are concerned. Let me assure you that the citizens for whom I speak are as vitally interested as you are in the industrial and economic growth of Iowa City. We fully understand that linkage of the Industrial Park area to I-80 is an essential element for industrial growth. However we come from an area of the city, bordering on the unpaved section of Scott Boulevard, which has become a prime residential area of single family homes, duplexes, condominiums and apartment houses. Also in the immediate area is a day care school and two Systems Unlimited houses. In fact since we contacted you in 1983 six apartment complexes have been built at the junction of Washington Street and Scott Boulevard and new homes continue to be built in the immediate area. If a major truck route 1s built along unpaved Scott Boulevard it will subject an increasing number of children, elderly and handicapped to safety hazards not now existent and everyone to noise, noxious fumes, the transport of hazardous materials and to declining property values. For these reasons, we respectfully request that if present plans are to develop the unpaved portion of Scott Boulevard as this industrial link with I-80, that you consider having your planning and engineering staffs Investigate alternative routes. We recognize that any proposed alternative route likely will be met with objections from others outside the city limits but I speak for a large number of people who now live in a densely populated area which is already a part of this city. Furthermore some of us who have bought homes in this area did so under the impression that a decision had been made to adopt an alternative plan proposed in 1978. I have here a copy of this plan with me. Thank you, Lewis E. Jan ry 3324 Hanover Court Iowa City, Iowa 52240 T i i 4 1 I i Mr. Mayor and Members of the City Council Page 2 Addendum: This paragraph was added at the meeting after the above was read. Mr. Marvin Hartwig emphasized the delay for plans in completing Scott Boulevard and urged you to proceed. During this delay, the area bordering the unpaved section of the street has been built almost solidly into an attractive residential section. I can assure you that had Scott Boulevard been built as an industrial road in the 1970s as now planned many of us who live there now would not be here tonight calling your attention to the elements of safety, noise and declining property values. We would be living elsewhere. Thus I do feel that the Council should respond to our concerns as the plans for early completion proceed. The suggestion by Mr. Zuber of sound barriers needs to be studied further. Attachment: The sketch depicts the densely populated areas of Iowa City which will be most affected by developing the unpaved section of Scott Boulevard as an industrial road. *4 oe lel .._l f' r *4
