Iowa City, Iowa 52244
Dear Reverend Welsh:
Thank you for your letter of September 12, 1986, to the City Council
regarding the Homecoming Parade. I certainly applaud your past efforts .
to provide special assistance to the elderly and handicapped during the
parade.
Historically, the City has not been involved in the planning of Univer-
sity of Iowa Homecoming activities including the Homecoming Parade. The
City's role has characteristically been to approve the use of streets
and public grounds for those activities for which alternate accomnoda-
tions can be made for mass transit, vehicular traffic and other citizen
uses of the public right-of-way.
The City shares your concern for persons who are elderly and handicapped
and I recognize your service over the past 15 years as a very valuable
one in that regard. Should you plan to provide this service at an
altwayertewe can oc If youhshtion tis ouldrbewableuto arranges forleaedto assist in whtever
acco odationsasome-
where in the area of the Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center, that
facility can be kept open so that the elderly and handicapped will have
access to the restroons on the ground floor. Please contact Bette
Meisel, if you desire the assistance of the Senior Center.
I am sure many of our senior volunteers would be happy to help.
Sincerely yo s,
Stephen J. Atkins

ALL BELIEVERS IN CHRIST
The Iowa City City Council
Civic Center
Iowa' City, IA 52240
Dear Friends:
September 12, 1986
I have just learned of the proposed change in the route of the Homecomiparade a
am contacting you and the Homecoming Council. ng nd
Handicapped children from the Hospital School and Systems Unlimited and the elderly
from the County Home, Daknoll and the community at large have been able to attend
the parade because of the service that First Christian Church has provided for over 15
years. The services have included: chairs[ a place to park vans, refreshments (coffee
and hot chocolate), and rest room facilities.
The change in route would mean that we could no longer provide these services.
I would trust that the city In cooperation with the Homecoming Council would do one
Of two things
Provide the above mentioned services for elderly and handicapped persons
or
return to using the 200 block on Iowa Avenue, in which case we would again
Provide the community service we have In the past that has been so helpful and so
appreciated by a part of the community.
I can this to your attention because I know of your concrn for persons who are elderly
or handicapped.
I would emphasize that I do not believe It is important that First Christian provide
these services. I do believe It is important that these services be provided and trust
YOU will take action to assure that these persons can continue to enjoy "the parade."
Sincerely,

From: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance ` wPM4._)
Re: Park & Shop Program and Bus & Shop Program
Both the Bus & Shop program and the Park & Shop program have been in exis-
tence since 1974. The Bus & Shop program has always has a low usage rate,
but the Park & Shop program has shown a tremendous growth in usage over the
past five years.
The oldest records we have on Park & Shop date back to FY77 when the annual
revenue from the program was $677. Usage of the program grew substantially
after the parking ramps were built and by FY81 annual program revenue had
increased to $17,215. Downtown merchants then further increased their sup-
port and promotion of the Park & Shop program and in FY82 annual revenue
increased to $37,317. In FY86, program revenue amounted to $105,456 or about
11% of total parking ramp revenue.
The Bus & Shop program has had less merchant support than the Park & Shop
program. In addition, Bus & Shop is often not as convenient since many
merchants require the shopper to go to a specific location in the store to
pick up a Bus & Shop coupon; this differs from Park & Shop where most clerks
or cashiers can validate the ramp ticket on the spot. Another deterrent to
usage is the fact that many bus riders have monthly passes and for them the
Bus & Shop coupon is useless. The annual revenue from Bus & Shop has ranged
from $273 in FY77 to $4,900 in FY81 and $11,328 in FY86.
The Park & Shop program initially was used for parking in the municipal
surfaced lot which covered the entire block now occupied by the Dubuque
Street Parking Ramp and the hotel. The program converted to parking ramp
usage upon construction of the downtown parking ramps in 1980.
In past years, Park & Shop was charged at the regular hourly rate which was
being charged in the municipal lot or in the ramps. Beginning October, 1984,
participating merchants were charged for parking under Park & Shop at the
rate of 301 per hour. At that time, parking ramp actual rates were 351 for
the first hour and 301 for each additional hour. Parking ramps hourly rates
were increased in February, 1986, to the current rate of 401 per hour and the
City agreed to continue to charge Park & Shop participating merchants 301 per
hour except for ramp tickets with 'three or more stamps from the same merchant
which are charged at the rate of 401 per hour. Those tickets with three or
more stamps are typically merchant employee parking and it was agreed that
they should be charged at the regular Fate.
E
This reduced rate for the Park & Shop program (305 versus the regular rate of
401) has cost the Parking System an average of $2,097 per month in reduced
revenues from February, 1986, through August, 1986, or a seventh month total
of $14,676. In that seven month period, 25,504 hours of Park & Shop usage
have been charged at the full rate of 401 while 146,760 hours were charged at
the rate of 301.
The participating merchants have always paid the full transit fare for the
Bus & Shop program. Currently each Bus & Shop coupon is charged to the
merchants at 501 apiece.

RE:
Gilbert Street Bridge at Ralston Creek
The Bridge Deck Repair Project (Phase I) was let and
awarded to Cramer Brothers Construction Co. in August of
this year. The project involves the deck repair and
other miscellaneous repairs to three (3) bridges: the
Dodge Street bridge spanning the Heartland Rail Corp.
tracks, the Gilbert Street bridge spanning Ralston Creek,
and the Burlington Street bridge spanning Ralston Creek.
The specifications require work on the Dodge Street
bridge to be completed this year (September 2 -October 17)
and work on the Gilbert and Burlington Street bridges to
be completed next year (April 1 -July 10). Weather
permitting, it appears that the repairs to the Dodge
Street bridge will be completed and the bridge opened to
traffic by late September/early October of this year.
The contractor has requested permission to proceed with
some of the repair work on the Gilbert Street bridge
after work on the Dodge Street bridge is completed and
the structure is opened to traffic. The repair work
requested to be completed this year is the correction of
the erosion problem adjacent to and under the south
abutment. In order to complete this work, the west lane
and west sidewalk on and adjacent to the bridge must be
closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic respectively.
Weather permitting, this work is anticipated to. be
completed within 2-3 weeks. Public Works/Engineering
recommends this portion of the repair work be completed
this year. Permission will be granted to the contractor
to complete said repair work unless City Council desires
to delay it until next spring.

Subject: Sunset and Benton Street Traffic Light Installation
Dear Jim:
The installation of the traffic light at the subject
location vill require a substantial rebuild of Iowa -Illinois
Gas and .:iectric Company facilities. The 13 Kv vertical
circuit must be rebuilt to horizontal so as to provide
proper clearance between the conductors and the traffic
light standards. Estimated length of the project is five
weeks. Funds of approximately $40,000 allocated for the.
project have been budgeted for 1987, however they have yet
to be approved.
The project will require careful coordination with the City
of Iowa City and Iowa -Illinois as a portion of the same
circuit must be relocated in conjunction with the Benton
Street Bridge project. No construction will occur between
April 1 and October 1 as we are constrained by weather and
other already scheduled construction on our transmission
system.
If you have any questions or comments, please call me. My
number is 338-9781, extension 66.

Dear Michael:
The Administrative Code of Iowa City (Section 2-100) states that the
chairperson of a board or commission must inform the City Council if a
member of the board has three consecutive unexcused or unexplained ab-
sences from regular meetings and that this may be cause for removal. The
last meeting which you attended was May 28, 1986. (At the meeting of July
9, 1986, you appeared at the end of the meeting after all action had been
taken.)
Since the Board has only five members, the lack of attendance by any one
member places an unfair burden on the others and a quorum is sometimes
difficult to achieve. If your other commitments make it difficult for you
to serve on the Board, it may be best for you to resign from your position
on the Board. The staff has attempted to reach you by phone but has been
unable to obtain a current number; therefore I am sending this letter.
Please let me know as soon as possible how you wish to deal with this
problem.
Sincerely yours,
P4.

RE: Miscellaneous
1. Rezone - S. E. Corner Washington and First. Attached memorandum.
2. Goodwill Industries - Traffic analysis at First and Mall. The Traffic
Engineer has advised me that the traffic counts and other review work
was completed last week. He is currently reviewing the information
and will prepare a report.
3. Waste to Energy. We have received the Waste to Energy Feasibility
Study Update prepared by Stanley Consultants. While we have not had
an opportunity to do any extensive review, it basically states that
incineration would cost $10.50 to $12.50 per ton, assuming favorable
negotiations with a purchaser of the energy. Our landfill costs are
now approximately $7.75 per ton. It will be some time before we can
do any extensive work, but I wanted to let you know that the report
has been received and a copy can be made available if you so desire.
4. State ROPERA
ht to Know Mandates. Attached memorandum. I generally agree
wit�e Donner, and we intend to request from the State a more realis-
tic timetable. We intend to fully comply; however, the law does not
provide any reasonable latitude in compliance and we suspect that some-
where a State official is "waiting in the weeds" to issue citations
for non-compliance. I have asked the staff to develop other alterna-
tives and hopefully we can sell the State on these other means to
achieve compliance.

Re: Council Request to Rezone Property on the Southeast Corner of
Washington Street and First Avenue from P to RS -5
The Council has recently requested staff to initiate procedures to rezone
the one acre tract located on the southeast corner of the intersection of
Washington Street and First Avenue from P to RS -5. The property was
conveyed from the Iowa City Community School District to Irene Pelsang
(2026 Glendale Road) in June, 1986.
Section 36-30(g)(1) of the Zoning Ordinance specifies that it is the duty
of the buyer of property formerly owned by a public entity to submit an
application to the City for rezoning to a zone other than the Public Zone
(P). To date, a rezoning application from Mrs. Pelsang has not been
received.
Use of the property is restricted under the present zoning and the Public
zoning classification does not hinder the City from enforcing the
restricted use of the site. The owner has no immediate plans to use the
property other than to cultivate the undeveloped portion of the site for
wildflowers. A garage, located on the southwest corner of the property,
the only improvement on this tract, may only be used for storage of garden
supplies and other personal property.
The owner understands the use limitations as a result of the P zoning
classification and her obligation to request that the property be rezoned
prior to developing the tract for any purpose other than the present use.
Her intentions for the future development of the property are to construct
a single-family residence and a possible child care facility. Detached
single-family homes are permitted uses in the RS -5 zone and child care
facilities are permitted in that zone via a special exception.
Unless directed otherwise, the Planning staff will not initiate procedures
to rezone the property. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to call me at 356-5247.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Steve Atkins, City Manager
Kevin O'Malley, Asst. Finance Director
FROM: Larry Donner, Fire Chief
DATE: September 30, 1986
RE: Right to know mandates
The City has been required by the state bureau of labor to fully
comply with the "Worker Right to Know" portion of the "Hazardous
Chemicals Risks Right to Know Act" by November. Given the
requirements of the law and the resources available to meet those
requirements I do not believe the City can meet the deadline. I
estimate that it will take a minimum of three full time employees
three to six months to do an adequate job of meeting the standards
without a substantial disruption of City functions. Although
the standard can be met faster it will require the City to pull
large numbers of employees out of service for substantial periods
of time to meet mandated training requirements.
It is my concern that the City will be forced into an ineffective'
program to meet an unrealistic deadline, or that the City may be
fined and thereby reduce the resources available to complete the
necessary work.
I would suggest that the City negotiate a more realistic time
frame to come into compliance with the law. If this cannot be
done then I would recommend that the City allocate the i
the resources, including office space, necessary to do theple and
effectively. job
Specific things that need to be done to make the
program effective are:
- Standardize training for all City Employees
- Standardize one form for use as a Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) to help make this required information easily
readable
- Provision of a centralized collection area for all MSDS
information to avoid duplication in effort by City Staff
- Provision of standardized procedures for dealing with new
substances as they come into use
- Provision of a system to keep the MSDSs updated
- Provision for expert advice to answer the concerns of
employees as they become aware of haznrds involving chemicals
they currently work with
The Fire Department will to do what ever it can to assist with the
Project with the resources we have available.

RE: Swimming Pool
The.attached correspondence was received from the School District. The
memorandum outlines the basic elements of the School District's position
with respect to the cost sharing of the swimming pool project.
It appears the bottom line is that the School District feels the Pool
Committee should be reconvened and serve as an arbitrator over the cost
sharing impasse. I would like the Council's guidance with respect to
this matter, for the staff has advised me that they have made as many
concessions as possible. Please plan to consider this matter at your
informal session on Monday, October 6.

Ref: JOINT VENTURE SWIlIJ4ING POOL PROJECT
On Thursday morning, September 25, I had a phone conversation with Dale
Helling, Assistant City Manager, regarding the joint swimming pool venture
between the district and the city. The focus of our discussion was "What is
an appropriate next step relative to the apparent deadlock over the 28E
Agreement?" As a result of the conversation these were my understandings: I :.
j
1. The information relative to job descriptions for the cashier/supervisor j
and the materials.that would be purchased under the item office supply,
two of the issues that are still at a point of disagreement, apparently i
are in the mail and will be arriving in our offices soon. I promised
that we would review these materials to see if our position on these two
items would change. i !
2. The City Council will have an informal meeting next week and Terry
Trueblood, in the absence of Dale Helling, will ascertain from the City
Council their willingness to reconvene the joint committee to review the
points of disagreement between the school district and the city.
3. Should the City Council agree that the joint committee should review the
point of dispute, a meeting of the joint committee would be called. At
that meeting, the district and the city would present, from their
perspective, their argument for each of the points that are -still at
contention.
4. Folloviing the meeting of the joint committee at which the committee may
decide to offer a suggestion for resolving the problem or make a
statement, the administrative staffs of the district and city would come
together to prepare a joint statement that would be taken back to each
of the respective governmental entities.

5. This statement would include clarification of the reason for the delay
in proceeding with this project. I indicated to Dale that one of the
cwas at blame for causing a oncerns that we have results from the rumor that somehow the district
construction season. Dadelayof
le andI agreed sthat�this ais not thescaseaand
that the delays were caused by other factors, i.e., their architect's
insurance carrier needed additional time to review some insurance issues
related to this project. I suggested that it would be important to make
sure that there was some reference to these facts in the joint statement
so that if there are People in the community, City Council members,
School Board members, etc. who have had questions related to the delay,
there would be clarification.
I would expect to receive a communication from Terry Trueblood sometime next
week, after the the City Council informal meeting, and based upon the
discussion at that meeting, perhaps, the joint committee will be reconvened.
I will try to keep you posted if I hear anything in the meantime.
