Date: December 21, 1984

From: Assistant City Manager
Re: Issues of Concern for 1985 Legislative Session
The following list of issues can serve as a basis for your meeting with area
legislators on December 31, 1984. It will be mailed to them along with an
agenda for that meeting.
1. Local option taxes - This would involve enabling legislation to allow
municipalities more flexibility in implementing local taxes, generally
with citizen approval.
2. Fair play/mandated costs - This requires the legislature to carefully
examine the financial impact on governmental subdivisions of each piece
of legislation and, where necessary, to provide financial resources for
meeting new expenses incurred as a result of the enactment of such
legislation.
3. Municipal assistance - We should encourage the legislature to continue
this program.
4. Scope of collective bargaining - We should continue in our strict
opposition to any legislation which would broaden the scope of mandatory
subjects for bargaining.
5. Security for City funds deposited in banks/savings and loan associations
- We should support either restoration of the sinking fund concept or
corrective legislation which would make the system for pledging of assets
by banks and savings and loans more workable for both cities and finan-
cial institutions.
6. Open meetings law - We should support further modification to allow for
closed sessions to discuss strategies in all negotiations (such as local
franchise negotiations) and not just labor negotiations.
7. Liquor/beer promotional specials - We should raise this as an issue of
concern in our discussions with area legislators.
8. Civil Service reform - We should take a position in support of revising
or repealing the current antiquated Civil Service statute and encourage
substitute legislation more compatible with modern personnel practices
and collective bargaining mandates.
9. World Trade Center - We should discuss with area legislators the poten--
tial funding sources for this project.
�T
i
a
10. Expansion of tax abatement eligibility criteria - Such expansion could be
in the area of tax abatement considerations for certain commercial devel-
opment which is currently ineligible.
11. Increased local control over granting of tax abatement incentives - We
support a tax abatement policy which allows local government to offer
this incentive on a more selective basis if such selectivity is deemed
desirable locally.
12. Public records law - This would involve the exclusion as public records
of certain working documents or of written materials provided for the
purpose of discussion in executive session, as well as written documents
relating to matters which involve a citizen's right to privacy such as
civil rights complaints and investigations, job applications, etc.
13. Mobile homes/manufactured housing - This 1984 legislation should be
modified to allow restriction of the placement of mobile homes through
zoning regulations.
14. Veterans' preference - We should support the removal of absolute veter-
ans' preference and its replacement with a limited preference considera-
tion such as a point system.
15. Wastewater treatment requirements - We should stress to our legislators
the dilemma we face in having lost our funding eligibility until 1988 or
1989 while still being required by the Water, Air, and Waste Management
Commission to meet its previously established 1988 effluent standards.
These standards should be relaxed or extension for compliance should be
granted.
Please contact me if you have other questions or concerns regarding this
matter.

Mr. David Wooldrick, President
Iowa City Community School District
R.R. 5
P.O. Box 37
Iowa City, Iowa 52244
Dear Dave:
The purpose of this letter is to bring to your attention an opportunity
which I fear may have been overshadowed in recent communications between
the City and the School District. The City continues to take a very
active interest in promoting the utilization of local access potential
which exists as a part of the Iowa City cable television system.
Recently connunications initiated by Mr. Terry to Dr. Cronin, and later
correspondence from Mr. Terry to you, were both for the purpose of
bringing to the attention of the Iowa City Community School District the
possibility of having West High School wired for cable service at a
fraction of the previously stated cost. Heritage Cablevision is
prepared to provide service to West High at a hookup cost of approxi-
mately $70. The previous estimate was $1500. West High is one of those
facilities included in the original franchise agreement as a priority
for cable service. Mr. Shaffer's and Mr. Terry's communications,
initiated on behalf of the Broadband Telecommunications Commission, were
for the purpose of bringing this opportunity to your attention, and
surely not to create any furor or friction between the City and the
School District.
I am confident that we share a common interest regarding the potential
benefits to be derived from the use of local access facilities. Mr.
Terry has contributed a great deal to the City through his involvement
with the Broadband Telecommunications Comnission as well as his personal
commitment to local access and quality cable service. I regard his past
and present contributions as invaluable and I recognize his personal
commitment to strive for further achievements in this area. The entire
Commission is committed to this concept and would like to see the school
district take advantage of this service at West High. However, we all
realize that this decision rests solely with the School District.

I hope that this letter provides some additional clarification regarding
the City's concerns and intentions for the promotion of local access, as
well as the role of the Broadband Telecommunications Commission in
advocating for such use by various community institutions. It is my
understanding that representatives from Heritage Cablevision will be
contacting you regarding this matter. Please be assured that the City
is prepared to assist you, if possible, if you choose to pursue this
matter further.

Dear Chamber Member:
Our bus trip to Des Moines is coming January 30th for
"Iowa City Night"... (It's not just a Pretty Place).
We plan to leave Iowa City at 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon
of the 30th from the north end of the K -Mart parking
lot on Hollywood Blvd. You may leave your car there
for our return before midnight.

the Johnson County Landmark Jazz Band will be with us
for some background entertainment in Des Moines. In fact,
they may join us on the bus as well.
The Public Relations and Legislative committees will be
holding a briefing in January for all those planning to
make the trip. We will outline the issues and the items
of interest td the Iowa City area at that time. In this
way, you can have something to talk about once we get face
to face with the legislators.
To make your reservations for this trip you must call the
Chamber office (337-9637) and tell them to bill you for
$25.00. That will cover everything outlined above. We

Re: Storm Water Runoff from Law Building Site
The excess water from the Law Building site which recently caused ice on
Grand Avenue and Riverside Drive was caused by the contractor's pumping out
the basement of the law building onto Grand Avenue. The inlet on the south
side of Grand Avenue was plugged as a result of the contractor's work thus
forcing the water onto Riverside Drive. The inlet on Grand Avenue has since
been cleaned out by the contractor.
The roof drains, basement drains and parking lot inlets around the law
building are designed to flow into an internal storm sewer system which is
connected to the existing storm sewer system on Grand Avenue. The Law
Building site drainage system was connected to the existing storm sewer
system on Grand Avenue this week and should not cause further problems.

Dear ..Alar, K+.uFilYO bars, i {'>aint personal,
On Jame 29, 1984, Sloan, Iowa received notice by the lowi Defurtiment
of Water, Air, and Waste Mwagoett, that we had 6 months to prepare
a Plan of Action to meet wastewater effluent. Our Plan is now aoeg sw.
It camas a $233,000.00 price tag. It will be submitted as a rehab-
ilative plan. As us all know, theca preparations are subject to
appcwal or rejection by to ONW.
The Sloan City Cbancil is in agreement. with the Federal Clean Water
Act wherein higher effluent levels have been sat and grants have been
made available to ao®mities on a psicritiee basis. However, the
DMFM's recent method of achieving this is methical and unacceptable.
Sloan is situated in Woodbury Camty. hbodbm}y County is the third
largest county in the State of Iowa. Slomn has the highest water and
sewer hills in this county. Mile most of the mmicipalities arauld
have been failing, we an vary pccud we haw been slowly grmdng. The
impact of am steeper sear rates could adversely affect this.
We feel that if the DWNi4 is allowed to farce this issue, each City
which has employed a Plan of Action should be given the very highest
priority for all Federal and,Sttte Grants to accomplish Hair effluent
upgrading.
We =go each and every City who have the same oxxam to contact your
legislator as scan as possible.

RE: Approval of the Iowa Code Ordinance 427B
Dear Mr. Berlin:
I want to thank you and the City Council for the prompt and professional
attention you've given our request to pass the Iowa Code Ordinance 427B.
As one of the newest members to the Iowa City Business Community it really
helps to know that one can get prompt action on a request when needed.
I also wanted to mention again in writing that any type of "Business Edge"
Iowa City is able to provide for any local company is extremely important
today. Whether we are looking at last months profit and loss statement,
projecting next years expenses or soliciting new business for our plant,
every penny of todays operational expenses must be considered. In our
business, as is true in most, a few incentives today can make the difference
in multi-million dollar decisions for years to come.
Millard Warehouse is very pleased to be a part of the Iowa City Community.
Today the advantages of doing business in our community are many, and that
is what we sell to our customers. How we maintain that competitive busi-
ness edge for tomorrow is all of our responsibilities.
Thank you again, for your time and cooperation in this matter.

AMES (AP) — The first step to
achieving an Ames -Des Moines
business corridor was approved
Thursday by the State Board of
Regents.
Officials from Iowa State Univer-
dty, Des Moines and Ankeny have
been discussing the Idea of a
ZZmpemtive venture on university
since early spring. The plan is
to develop the Ankeny Research
Farm into an Industrialcommemial
The research farm has about
1,600 acres and was donated to ISU
in 1917. Four hundred acres are
wed by the Des Moines Area
Community College and the ret Is
used for agricultural resew&
proved
7bu d
sgr, the • regents .p
proved a plan that would allow a
Des Moimea-Ankeny corporation to
work with ISU to develop a core•
mercW-Industrial park on the land.
A Des Moines Chamber of Com -
memo representative said the park
would provide a long-awaited link
between two of Iowa's most Impor•
tent dues.
We have been talking about this
corridor Idea for years," said Mark
Threlkeld of Des Moine. "This will
allow us to combine agricultural.
Industrial and economic reeuurrxe
for the good of all."
THE LAND had been discussed
e a possible site for a food center to
complement the World Trade Can•
ter proposed !or Dee Moines.
Reid Crewfmrd, L'sf t to the
president at ISU, said the develop-
ment proposal would not Interfere
with that plan. Crawford said ■
consultant would not have recom-
mendations for the land until after
the meat legislative session, so
lawmakers could still negotiate for
the land during that session U they
wished.
After the land Is divided into
tracts for We, the university would
receive at least the appraised value
of the land. A Des Molnes•Ankeny
corporation would negotiate uses
for the land, but the board would
have to approve all the Wes.
The board also approved a re -
quart by ISU officials to acquire and
renovate the Alumni Rall on the
Ames campus, u ■ cost of fit
million.
ISU received permission to ac-
quire the building and hire an
architectural firm to develop plans
to use It for student services, and
possible computerized student reg-
istration.
A BUILDING program for 1999•
1995 also was approved by the
regents. Total cost of the proposals
would be 5339,399,000.
The most ambitious program Is at
Iowa State University, where 11
new construction projects are
Tamed for the nart decade. Those
Include buildings for home econom-
ics, genetics, animal research, swine
nutrition, management research.
computer and mathematic science.
blotechnolgy, engineering research,,
town englteering, College of De-
sign, and fare service education.
The University of Iowa wants new
engineering and business adminis-
tration buildings and an addition to
the pharmacy building. The Univer-
sity of Northern Iowa is proposing ■
new classroom-offim building; a
museum; a library addition; and a
health, physical education and rec-
reation addition.
The proposals will be presented
to the Legislature in January, when
funding is decided.
The Legislature also will be urged
to introduce legislation that will
keep applications for ppblic employ-
ment out of public records.
The regents are pushing the idea
knowing that ISU president W.
Robert Parks will reach mandatory
retirement age of 70 in June 1916. A
regents' memo said the law would.
reduce "the chances of withdrawal
or other embarrassment" to candi-
dates for state Jobs.

EXECUTIVE SWIARY
This report presents the results of the empirical analyses conducted
for Phase II of the North Side Street Lighting Project. Phase I
included the assessment of baseline data from a community survey and
police complaints for the period prior to the installation of the street
lights (January 1981 -April 1982). Phase II includes a followup
community survey and additional police complaint data for the period
subsequent to the installation of the street lights (May 1982 -June
1983).
Three areas were included in the study: the North Area, the Central
Area, and the South Area. The North and Central Areas received
additional street lighting and may be regarded as "experimental" areas.
The South Area did not receive additional street lighting and may be
regarded as a "control" area.
This Executive Summary contains summaries of the findings from the
data analyses and conclusions drawn from those findings. In addition,
the conclusions from the Phase I report are briefly restated. The body
of the report contains a description of the methodology, results of the
data analyses, and summaries of the findings.
Phase I Conclusions
The results of the first community survey conducted during June 1982
clearly showed a strong relationship between the improvements in street
lighting and citizen's attitudes toward street lighting. Residents of
the South Area, where the street lighting was not improved, consistently
held more negative attitudes toward the adequacy of street lighting in
their neighborhood and felt that improved street lighting would result
in greater safety and police effectiveness. Respondents' feelings
concerning street lighting were not related to perceptions of crime or
fear for personal safety. Attitudes concerning these topics did not
differ by area of residence. The data did indicate, however, that
residents of the South Area were less likely to walk when they go out at
night, Respondents' self -reports of victimization, knowing victims, or
perceived frequency of various types of incidents did not show strong
variation across the three areas.
The Phase I analyses also indicated that whatever may have been the
relative inadequacy of street lighting in the North Area, it was not
related to strong differences in the frequency of different types of
incidents. The community survey and the police complaint data both
reflected a high degree of similarity between the North and South Areas
otS
in terms of residents' perceptions of incidents as well as those
reported to the police. This result held true for the relative
frequency of different types of incidents, the time of occurrence, and
the location of occurrence (inside versus outside).
Summary of Results: The 1982-83 Community Surveys
1. The characteristics of the respondents to the 1983 survey were
very similar to those of the 1982 respondents. This suggests
that the survey sample procedure obtained respondents from the
same population in 1982 and 1983.
About one fourth of the respondents, regardless of their area of
residence, felt that their neighborhood had a higher crime rate
than other areas of Iowa City. However, residents of the North
Area were more likely to disagree with this statement and less
likely to have no opinion than the residents of the Central and
South Areas. In addition, residents of the North Area were less
likely to feel that the crime rate was increasing in their
neighborhood than the residents of the other two areas. With
regard to questions concerning feelings of personal safety, there
were no statistically significant differences by area of
residence. About two fifths of all respondents said they were
afraid to walk alone on the street, about one fourth felt that a
woman is safe alone after dark on the streets of their
neighborhood, about three fourths would seek help from their
neighbors if attacked an the street, and approximately three
fourths feel that people in their neighborhood are safe in their
houses at night.
3. Residents of the North Area were less likely to feel that the
crime rate was increasing in their neighborhood in 1983 than in
1982. They were also more likely to feel that people in their
neighborhood were safe in their houses at night. Thus, there is
some evidence that the perceptions of the residents of the North
Area had become more favorable during the year following the
installation of the street lights. However, there was a
significant degree of change in the attitudes of the residents of
the South Area also. There were no statistically significant
changes in the attitudes of Central Area residents between 1982
and 1983. In short, the data suggest that while North Area
residents felt there was less crime in their neighborhood,
residents of the South Area felt safer in their neighborhood in
1983 than in 1982.
4. In general, residents of the North and Central areas were more
likely than South Area residents to feel that their street
lighting was adequate. Thus, the effect of the street lighting
program on the attitudes of area residents was clearly evident
one year later. However, residents of the South Area were less
likely to feel that their street lighting should be improved or
as
thatimprovedstreet lighting would improve safety in 1983 than
in 1982.
Residents of the North Area were less likely to report being
victims of robbery than the residents of the Central and South
Area. However, residents of the North and Central Areas were
more likely to report being victims of window peeking than
residents of the South Area. In addition there was very little
change between 1982 and 1983 in the levels of self-reported
victimization. Central Area residents were more likely to report
being victims of theft in 1983 than in 1982. Overall, the
patterns of self-reported victimization do not provide strong
evidence for an effect of the street lighting program on the
types of incidents included in the survey questionnaire.
6. In the 1983 survey, residents of the North Area were less likely
than others to report knowing victims of property damage
incidents or harassment. In addition, they were less likely to
! - report knowing victims of burglary, robbery, and window peeking
in 1983 than in 1982. Among residents of the Central Area, there
I was a 13% increase in the proportion who said they knew a victim
of theft. Among residents of the South Area, there was a 12%
idecrease in the proportion who said they knew a victim of
burglary. In general, the responses concerning knowledge of
! victims supports the view that the street lighting program had an
affect on certain types of incidents (harassment, property
damage, window peeking) in the North Area but not in the Central
Area.
i
7. The responses to a question concerning the frequency of certain
types of incidents provide virtually no support for an effect of
the street lighting improvements. In the 1983 survey, the only
statistically significant difference was for the frequency of
auto accidents; residents of the South Area were less likely to
say that auto accidents were a frequent problem in their
neighborhood. However, residents of the North Area were less
likely to say that window peeking was a frequent problem in 1983
than in 1982.
B. There were no statistically significant differences'among the
residents of the three areas in terms of the frequency of going
out at night or the mode of transportation used. Thus, even
though residents of the South Area were more likely than others
to express negative attitudes concerning their street lighting,
this apparently does not influence their behavior as measured by
the survey. This finding is consistent with the fact that
residents of the South Area also were not more likely than others
the express concern for their personal safety in their
neighborhood.

Summary of Results: ICPD Complaints
Examination of month-to-month changes in the number of complaints
received by the ICPD revealed a sharp decline in all three areas
immediately after the installation of the street lights. Since
this decline was evident in the South Area, where no additional
street lights were installed, it seems unlikely that it was
related to the street lighting program. However, the monthly
level of incidents in the North Area remained relatively low
during subsequent months, This latter finding suggests that the
street lighting may have had a moderate effect on incidents
within the North Area only.
2. The patterns found for three-month moving averages for each area
further support the findings discussed above. These data show
that levels of incidents in the Central Area tended to remain
high during the months following the street light installation
although there was a substantial decrease in the fall of 1982.
It is also clear that the number of incidents in all areas
increased toward the end of the study period (June 1983). This
suggests that the effect of the street lights in the North Area
may have been short term in nature. However, even though the
level of incidents in the North Area increased during the spring
of 1983, it remained substantially below the level which occurred
just prior to the installation of the street lights.
Regression analyses of the pre- and post -installation linear
trends in the three areas were also undertaken. These analyses
showed that complaints in the North Area exhibited a moderate
upward trend before April 1982 and a moderate downward trend
subsequently. Complaints in the Central Area showed a moderate
upward trend which was followed by a weak downward trend. In the
Central Area, there was a moderate upward trend followed by a
strong upward trend. Thus, these data also support the inference
that the effects of the street lighting were moderate in strength
and were restricted primarily to the North Area.
4. Analyses of trends for particular types of incidents suggested
that the street lighting may have affected burglaries, suspicious
activities, and, to a lesser extent, thefts. In the North and
South Area, burglaries exhibited a generally donward trend after
April 1982. In the South Area, there was an increase in
burglaries which was not apparent in the other two area.
However, the downward trend in the North and Central Areas was
apparent prior to April 1982 and is based on a small number of
incidents. Thus, the trends for burglary do not provide strong
evidence for an effect of street lighting.
5. Complaints concerning suspicious activities in the North and
Central Areas declined during the post -installation period. In
the North Area, however, there was an increase in the second
quarter of 1983 to pre -installation levels. Suspicious activity
complaints also decreased in the South Area so the evidence for
an effect of street lighting is not clearcut.
V?��
With regard to thefts, the number of incidents in the North and
Central Areas was very high about the time that the street lights
were installed. However, thefts declined substantially during
the latter months of 1982 and tended to remain low thereafter.
In the South Area, the number of thefts was more or less constant
during the study period. Altough thefts in the North Area
increased during the second quarter of 1983, the trends for theft
provide the clearest support for a possible effect of the street
lighting program.
7. The trends for offenses against persons, property damage, and
public disorder offenses did not exhibit trends which would
indicate an effect of street lighting. Although public disorder
offenses declined sharply in all areas just after the
installation of the street lights, they rose to relatively high
levels again in the second quarter of 1983. Since a majority of
public disorder incidents involve complaints about loud parties,
it is unlikely that this type of incident would be affected by
street lighting.
Phase II Conclusions
The results of the 1983 community survey showed that the street
lighting program had a strong effect on citizens' feelings about the
adequacy of street lighting in their neighborhoods one year after the
lights were installed. In addition, residents of the North Area were
less likely to feel that their neighborhood had a high crime rate or
that crime was increasing in their neighborhood. While there was no
difference in feelings of personal safety across the study areas,
residents of the South Area, where no additional street lights were
installed, clearly felt more secure in their neighborhoods in 1983 than
in 1982.
Citizens' experiences with crime in their neighborhoods generally did
not appear to be greatly affected by the street lighting program.
However, residents of the North Area were less likely than others to
know victims of vandalism and harassment in their neighborhoods. In
addition, there was a 12% decline between 1982 and 1983 in the
proportion of North Area residents who knew victims of window peeking.
This suggests that the street lighting may have had a moderate effect on
certain types of incidents within the North Area.
In summary, the street lighting program had a clear, positive effect
on citizens' feelings concerning the quality of lighting in their
neighborhoods. In addition, there may have been a moderate reduction in
certain types of incidents (vandalism, harassment, window peeking) which
occurred only in the North Area based on responses to the 1983 survey.
Examination of trends for 5,373 complaints received by the ICPD
during the 30 -month study period suggested that the effect of the street
lighting program on crime and other incidents was moderate in strength,
as
was restricted primarily to the North Area, and may have been short term
in nature. After the installation of the street lights in April 1982,
complaints in the North Area declined until early 1983 when they began
an upward trend. By the end of the study period, however, the level of
complaints in the North Area remained below the peak level which was
attained at the time the lights were installed. In the Central Area,
complaints declined immediately after the lights were installed, but
increased to their highest levels shortly thereafter. In the South
Area, complaints also declined during the latter part of 1982 but
increased substantially during early 1983.
Trends in the levels of complaints differed considerably for various
types of incidents. The trends for theft and suspicious activities
showed the clearest evidence for a possible effect of street lighting.
In the North Area, thefts declined substantially after the second
quarter of 1982 although the overall levels remained high when compared
to the pre -installation period. In the North and Central Areas,
complaints concerning suspicious activities declined substantially
during the post -installation period and generally remained at Low levels
despite some increases in 1983. Complaints concerning burglary also
declined in the North and South Areas during the post -installation
period. Although a pattern of decreasing burglaries was evident prior
to April 1982 in all three areas, the level of complaints continued to
decrease only in the North and Central Areas while it increased in the
South Area.
The results of this study lead to two major conclusions which have
implications for public policy. First, it is clear that the most
important effect of the street lighting program was in the area of the
,,quality of life." While it can not be said that feelings of personal
safety were strongly influenced, it is clear that other perceptions
concerning crime and street lighting were changed in a positive manner
by the street lighting program. In this sense, the street lighting
program enhanced the quality of life for residents of the North and
Central Areas.
Second, an impact of the street lighting program on "objective"
levels of incidents which result in complaints to the police was not
strongly supported. Nevertheless, the trends observed in this study
suggest that there may have been a moderate, short-term reduction in
particular types of incidents, especially in the North Area. The
general implication is that a public policy designed to produce
substantial reductions in crime by improving street lighting may not
meet this objective. However, a program designed to meet this single
objective would overlook other possible benefits such as the enhancement
of the quality of life in the community.

INTRODUCTION
Overview
In May 1981, the City Council of Iowa City approved a proposal
submitted by a citizen's group known as CLASS (Citizens for Lighting and
Safe Streets) which requested the installation of additional street
lights in the area known as the North Side. For the purposes of this
evaluation study, the North Side was divided into two areas: the North
Area and the Central Area. The proposal set forth a research design for
evaluating the impact of additional street lighting on the occurrence of
crime and the attitudes of North Side residents. In April 1982, the
installation of 109 street lights In the North and Central Areas was
completed.
The evaluation of the street lighting was undertaken in two phases.
Phase I included the collection and analysis of data for the period
prior to the installation of the street lights (January 1981 -April
1982). This analysis described differences among the study areas to
establish "baseline" data for comparison with data from the
post -installation period. Phase II is a follow-up analysis for a period
of approximately one year after installation (May 1982 -June 1983). This
report presents the results of the research activities undertaken during
Phase II.
Two types of data were examined for the evaluation:
1. a questionnaire survey of residents of the designated study areas
(described below), and
complaints received by the Iowa City Police Department (ICPD) for
incidents occurring within the study areas.
At the inception of the evaluation project, three areas of Iowa City
were designated for inclusion in the study. The North and Central Areas
are analogues to "experimental" areas since they were the only areas to
receive additional street lighting during the project. The North Area
is bounded on the north by Brown Street, on the south by Market Street,
on the west by Clinton Street from Market to Church and Dubuque Street
from Church to Brown, and on the east by Governor Street. The Central
Area is bounded by Market Street on the north and Burlington Street on
the south. The South Area is bounded by Burlington Street on the north
and Benton and Page Streets on the south. The west and east boundaries
of the Central and South Areas are Clinton Street and Governor Street,
respectively. The Central Area is kept distinct from the North Area
because a large portion of it constitutes the downtown area. Figure 1
presents a map of the three areas.

The South Area may be thought of as a "control" area since it did not
receive additional street lighting. This area is important because it
permits a more rigorous test of the effects of the street lighting
improvements than would be possible without its inclusion in the study.
If crime declined in the North and Central Areas but not in the South
Area during the post -installation period, this would suggest that the
street lighting improvements were responsible. Without data from the
South Area, however, it would not be possible to determine whether the
decline was part of a more generalized decrease in crime or not.
Methodology
The Community Survey
In June 1982, a questionnaire was mailed to a sample of 50: of the
residents of the three areas. The sample was obtained from the Iowa
City telephone directory by using a random starting number and then
selecting every other name. It had been determined beforehand that a
50% sample would yield a sufficient number of respondents from the three
areas to permit a reliable statistical analysis. 2,431 questionnaires
were mailed which yielded 649 useable questionnaires for a response rate
of 27%. Approximately one year later, during the summer of 1983, a
followup survey was conducted. The questionnaire for this survey was
the same as the one used for the first survey. 2,682 questionnaires
were mailed to a second random sample of residents; 521 useable
questionnaires were returned for a response rate of 19:.
A copy of the questionnaire is included in the appendix. The
questionnaire included questions covering the following topics:
1. respondent characteristics and behaviors,
2. perceptions of crime and the effectiveness of street lighting in
the area of residence, and,
3. for selected types of incidents, respondent victimization,
knowledge of victims, and perceived frequency in the area of
residence.
The questions concerning victimization, knowledge of victims, and the
frequency of crime referred to incidents which may have occurred in the
respondent's neighborhood during the year prior to the survey. For the
survey conducted in 1982, this time period corresponds approximately to
the year prior to the installation of the street lights. For the 1983
o survey, this time period corresponds to the year following the
installation of the street lights.
It should be noted that the sampling procedure was not designed to
obtain the same respondents for both surveys. Although some individuals
may have been included in both surveys, this would be a chance
occurrence. _Repeated sampling from a population is appropriate when the
as
,
10
purpose of the survey is to examine trends in attitudes of members of
the population over time.
ICPD Complaint Data
Data were collected for 2,556 complaints received by the Iowa City
Police Department during the period of January, 1981, through April,
1982 when the installation of the street lights was completed. An
additional 2,817 complaints for the post -installation period were coded
bringing the total number of complaints used for this study to 5,373.
To collect these data, research assistants were provided code sheets
and a coding manual to record various characteristics of incidents
reported to the police. The code sheet and coding manual are included
in the appendix. The characteristics which were coded include the type
of incident (e.g., burglary, theft), the time of day when the incident
occurred, and where the incident occurred (e.g., inside residence,
outside). The data were obtained from copies of complaint reports kept
on file at the ICPD which are available to news media personnel and
others.
For certain types of complaints, particularly theft, it was not
possible to determine the exact time of day when the incident occurred.
However, it was generally possible to determine whether or not the
incident occurred during the nighttime or daytime. For example, thefts
reported as occurring "overnight" were coded as occurring at night. All
complaint code sheets were edited by the research consultant and were
coded for the area in which the incident occurred.
It should be emphasized that the incidents included in this report
are not necessarily representative of all incidents occurring in Iowa
City. Only those incidents which occurred within the boundaries of the
study areas were included. In addition, incidents reported to the
police do not represent arrests and; in some cases, may not represent a
criminal offense. However, the frequency and nature of incidents
reported to the police should be correlated with the underlying "true"
crime rate and do reflect citizens' perceptions of incidents which may
be criminal offenses.
Certain types of incidents are not included in this study. Offenses
such as shoplifting and embezzlement were excluded because they would
not be affected by changes in street lighting. Although automobile
accidents may be affected by street lighting, they were excluded since
the primary focus of the study is on potentially criminal activity, the
large number of accidents would have significantly increased the
resources required for the study, and assessment of changes in
automobile accidents would have required a more technically
sophisticated research design (e.g., the measurement of the relationship
between lighting intensity, drivers' ability to see objects, and
stopping distances). Respondents to the community survey, however, were
asked about their experiences with automobile accidents.
as
RESULTS: THE 1982-83 COMMUNITY SURVEYS
In this section, the results of the analyses of the community survey
data are presented. Two types of analyses were undertaken. First,
responses to the 1983 questionnaire items were crosstabulated by area of
residence. This analysis permits an examination of the extent to which
there were differences in attitudes and perceptions across the three
areas approximately one year after the street lights had been in place.
Second, the percent change in responses to the questionnaire items
between the 1982 and 1983 surveys was calculated and tested for
statistical significance. This analysis permits an examination of the
extent to which attitudes and perceptions changed in the three areas
during the year after the installation of the street lights.
The characteristics of the respondents to the community surveys are
presented in Table 1. In both 1982 and 1983, about 45% of the
respondents lived in the North Area, about one fourth lived in the
Central Area, and about one third lived in the South Area. A majority
were female (approximately 60%). The respondents to the 1983 survey
appear to be somewhat older than the 1982 respondents. About 46% were
less than 30 years old as compared to 57% in 1982. However, the most
noteworthy aspect of these data is that none of these differences were
statistically significant. In other wprds, the samples in each year
were quite similar in terms of their background characteristics. This
suggests that the survey sample procedure resulted in samples which
represented the same population each year.
Table 2 presents responses to questions about crime and safety in
respondents' neighborhoods for the 1983 survey. The responses to two
questions differed by area of residence. Residents of the North Area
were more likely to disagree with the question concerning a higher crime
rate in their neighborhood. However, the extent of agreement with this
question was quite similar across areas. The difference was in the
proportion of respondents who had no opinion. In short, respondents in
all areas were about equally likely to agree that the the crime rate was
higher in their neighborhoods but residents of the North Area appear to
have been more certain of this opinion and were more likely to feel that
their neighborhood did not have a higher crime rate than other areas of
Iowa City.
Responses to the question concerning an increase in the neighborhood
crime rate also differed by area of residence. Residents of the North
Area were less likely to agree with this question and more likely to
disagree than residents of other areas.
Differences in responses to other questions were not statistically
significant. With regard to the total sample, about one half were not

iI

i
The percent changes in the responses to the questions concerning
crime and safety are shown in Table 3. These data indicate that the
responses to four questions changed significantly between 1982 and 1983.
First, there was a 9% decrease in the percent of residents of the North
Area who felt that the crime rate is increasing in their neighborhood.
Second, among residents of the South Area, 13% fewer respondents said
that they were afraid to walk alone on the streets of their neighborhood
after dark. Third, the percent of residents of the South Area who would
seek help from their neighbors increased by 11%. Fourth, 9% more in the
North Area and 10% more in the South Area felt that people are safe in
their houses in 1983 than in 1982. Thus, these data indicate that
although there was some change in the attitudes of North Area residents,
there was more change in the attitudes of residents of the South Area
where no street lighting was installed. Although residents of the North
Area were less likely to feel that the crime rate was high or increasing
in their neighborhood, there clearly was a trend toward greater feelings
of personal safety among residents of the South Area.
Table 4 presents the 1983 responses to questions concerning street
lighting. As in the previous survey, residents of the North and Central
Areas generally expressed more positive attitudes toward street lighting
in their neighborhoods than residents of the South Area. For example,
57: of the South Area residents said that the street lighting on their
street should be improved as constrasted with 46% and 49"; of the
residents of the North and South Areas. The area differences in the
responses to one question were not statistically significant. This
question concerned the possible influence of improved street lighting on
police effectiveness. Even in this case, however, a higher proportion
of South Area residents indicated a need for improved street lighting.
Table 5 shows the percent change in the responses to the questions
concerning street lighting. The responses to two questions changed
significantly between 1982 and 1983. First, 17% fewer residents of the
South Area felt that their street lighting should be improved. Second,

* The differences by area of residence were statistically significant
at the .05 level or less.
12% less in the South Area said that improved street lighting would make
their street safer. These changes parallel those found for the
questions concerning crime and personal safety. While there was little
change among residents of the North and Central Areas, residents of the
South Area clearly had more positive perceptions concerning the street
lighting in their area in 1983 than in 1982. However, they still were
less likely then the residents of the other areas to feel that their
street lighting was adequate.
The percent who said that they had been victims of various incidents
is reported in Table 6. These data indicate that the most frequent
incidents were pranks by juveniles, property damage, harassment, and
theft. However, none of the differences in victimization differed by
area of residence. This finding replicates the pattern for the 1982
survey: none of the area differences in victimization were
statistically significant. The percent change between 1982 and 1983 in
victimization is presented in Table 7. These data indicate that only
one significant change occurred; residents of the Central Area were 11%
more likely to report being victims of theft. Thus, it is clear that
the installation of the street lights was not reflected in the
victimization rates as measured by this survey. In addition, it is
interesting to observe that there were some decreases among residents of
the South Area in terms of burglary (-S;), verbal threats or harassment
(-6°;), and window peeking (-5°;) which could account for the more
favorable attitudes of these respondents toward personal safety and
crime which were discussed previously.

' * The differenbes by area of residence were statistically significant
at the .05 level or less.
The proportion of respondents who reported knowing a victim of
various incidents in their neighborhood is presented in Table B. The
pattern of responses differed significantly for two types of incidents:
and harassment. Residents of the South Area were most
property damage
likely (44%) to know victims of property damage incidents while
residents of the North Area were least likely. With regard to
harassment, Central Area residents were most likely to report knowing
victims (4M) when contrasted with residents of the North Area (21%) and
the South Area (32%). Thus, these data suggest that while victimization
does not differ much by area,. knowledge of individuals being victimized
does differ somewhat. In the 1982 survey, the only significant
difference was related to window peeking. North Area residents were
' more likely than others to report knowing victims of window peeking.
Table 9 shows the 1982-83 change in the percent of respondents who
knew victims of incidents in their neighborhoods during the previous
year. Statistically significant changes were observed for four types of
incidents: theft, burglary, robbery, and window peeking. With regard to
theft, there was a 13% increase in the number of Central Area residents
who knew victims of theft in the neighborhood. The trend for burglary
showed 9% and 12% decreases in the percentage of North and South area
residents who knew burglary victims. Among North Area residents only,
there was a 6% decrease in respondents who knew robbery victims and a
14% decrease in respondents who knew window peeking victims. These data
suggest that the installation of additional street lighting may be
associated with a decrease in burglaries, robbery, and window peeking.
However, this observation should be tempered by the finding that there

The proportion of respondents who said that various types of
incidents have been frequent problems in their neighborhoods is shown in
Table 10. The only statistically significant difference by area of
residence was concerned with auto accidents. Twenty-two percent of the
Central Area residents felt that auto accidents were a frequent problem
of the North Area residents and 11% of the South
as compared with IB
Area residents. In addition, a higher proportion of Central Area

residents said that harassment was a frequent problem but the areal
difference was not statistically significant. The overall lack of
significant differences for the areas is not surprising given the
general absence of substantial differences in victimization. However,
these data suggest that the additional street lighting was not
associated with differences in the perceived frequency of various types
of incidents. In the 1982 survey, a very similar pattern was found for
the responses concerning auto accidents. However, significant
differences were also found for window peeking and "other sex offenses"
with Central Area residents being most likely to see these types of
incidents as frequent problems.
The percent change for those who said incidents were a frequent
problem in their neighborhood is presented in Table 11. Only one
statistically significant change was apparent: 6% fewer respondents in
the North Area felt that window peeking was a frequent problem.
Overall, however, these data indicate that there was little change among
residents of the three areas in the perceived frequency of various
incidents between 1982 and 1983.
Table 12 presents the frequency of going out at night broken down by
area of residence. The finding was that the frequency of going out did
not differ significantly by area. About one fourth to one third of the
respondents indicated that they go out 3 or 4 nights a week. Thus, it
appears that the additional street lighting did not result in a greater
frequency of nighttime activities among residents of the North and
Central Areas. In addition, there was no statistically significant
change between 1982 and 1983 in the proportions of respondents reporting
different frequencies of going out (data not shown).
The areal differences in the usual mode of transportation used when
going out at night are displayed in Table 13. Approximately 604% of the
respondents in all three areas used a car and the small differences by
area were not statistically significant. However, there were some
changes between 1982 and 1983 in the modes of transportation used (data
not shown). Among residents of the South Area, there was a 10% increase
in the number who said they usually use a car and a 9% decrease in the
number who use a bus. This trend was statistically significant at the
.05 level. Among residents of the North Area, there was an 8% increase
in the percent who use a car and a 6% decrease in the percent who walk
but this trend was not statistically significant. Since there was an
increase in the proportion who used a car in both the South and North
Areas, these data do not provide support for an effect of street
lighting on the mode of transportation used at night.

Summary of Results
1. The characteristics of the respondents to the 1983 survey were
i very similar to those of the 1982 respondents. This suggests
that the survey sample procedure obtained respondents from the
same population in 1982 and 1983. -
2. About one fourth of the respondents, regardless of their area of
residence, felt that their neighborhood had a higher crime rate
than other areas of Iowa City. However, residents of the North
Area were more likely to disagree with this statement and less
j likely to have no opinion than the residents of the Central and
South Areas. In addition, residents of the North Area were less
likely to feel that the crime rate was increasing in their
neighborhood than the residents of the other two areas. With
regard to questions concerning feelings of personal safety, there
were no statistically significant differences by area of
"<. residence. About two fifths of all respondents said they were
afraid to walk alone on the street, about one fourth felt that a
j woman is safe alone after dark on the streets of their
neighborhood, about three fourths would seek help from their
neighbors if attacked on the street, and approximately three
fourths feel that people in their neighborhood are safe in their
houses at night.

3. Residents of the North Area were less likely to feel that the
crime rate was increasing in their neighborhood in 1983 than in
1982. They were also more likely to feel that people in their
neighborhood were safe in their houses at night. Thus, there is
some evidence that the perceptions of the residents of the North
Area had become more favorable during the year following the
installation of the street lights. However, there was a
significant degree of change in the attitudes of the residents of
the South Area also. There were no statistically significant
changes in the attitudes of Central Area residents between 1982
and 1983. In short, the data suggest that while North Area
residents felt there was less crime in their neighborhood,
residents of the South Area felt safer in their neighborhood in
1983 than in 1982.
4. In general, residents of the North and Central areas were more
likely than South Area residents to feel that their street
lighting was adequate. Thus, the effect of the street lighting
program on the attitudes of area residents was clearly evident
one year later. However, residents of the South Area were less
likely to feel that their street lighting should be improved or
that improved street lighting would improve safety in 1983 than
in 1982.
Residents of the North Area were less likely to report being
victims of robbery than the residents of the Central and South
Area. However, residents of the North and Central Areas were
more likely to report being victims of window peeking than
residents of the South Area. In addition there was very little
change between 1982 and 1983 in the levels of self-reported
victimization. Central Area residents were more likely to report
being victims of theft in 1983 than in 1982. Overall, the
patterns of self-reported victimization do not provide strong
evidence for an effect of the street lighting program on the
types of incidents included in the survey questionnaire.
In the 1983 survey, residents of the North Area were less likely
than others to report knowing victims of property damage
incidents or harassment. In addition, they were less likely to
report knowing victims burglary, robbery, and window peeking in
1983 than in 1982. Among residents of the Central Area, there
was a 13% increase in the proportion who said they knew a victim
of theft. Among residents of the South Area, there was a 12%
decrease in the proportion who said they knew a victim of
burglary. In general, the responses concerning knowledge of
victims supports the view that the street lightin program had an
effect on certain types of incidents (harassment, property
damage, window peeking) in the North Area but not in the Central
Area.
The responses to a question concerning the frequency of certain
types of incidents provide virtually no support for an effect of
the street lighting improvements. In the 1983 survey, the only
t?5

statistically significant difference was for the frequency of
auto accidents; residents of the South Area were less likely to
say that auto accidents were a frequent problem in their
neighborhood. However, residents of the North Area were less
likely to say that window peeking was a frequent problem in 1983
than in 1982.
8. There were no statistically significant differences among the
residents of the three areas in terms of the frequency of going
out at night or the mode of transportation used. Thus, even
though residents of the South Area were more likely than others
to express negative attitudes concerning their street lighting,
this apparently does not influence their behavior as measured by
the survey. This finding is consistent with the fact that
residents of the South Area also were not more likely than others
the express concern for their personal safety in their
neighborhood.

RESULTS: ICPD COMPLAINT DATA
This section presents the results of analyses of complaints received
by the Iowa City Police Department during the study period (January
1981 -June 1983). Tables 14-16 present descriptive information
concerning the nature of the complaint data set and certain differences
in complaints across the three areas. Tables 17-30 and Figures 2-12
present analyses of trends during the period of the study,
These complaints represent only selected types of incidents and are
concerned only with incidents which ocurred within one of the three
study areas. Accordingly, these complaints do not represent all types
of complaints received by the police department and may not be
representative of incidents which occurred on a city-wide basis.
The frequency distribution for the complaint data by type of incident
is shown in Table 14. This table indicates how diferent types of
incidents were combined to create the categories which were used in the
analyses. The detailed categories used by the ICPD generally do not
contain a sufficient number of cases for reliable statistical analysis.
Further information on how the types of incidents were coded may be
found in the appendix.
i
The categories used to classify the types of incidents are similar to
those used in criminological research to classify criminal offenses. In
general, these categories were not designed to accomodate the reporting
needs of police departments. The primary purpose of the classification
scheme used in this study was to permit examination of incidents which
may be affected by changes in the level of street lighting.
Turning to Table 14, 15% of the 5,373 incidents were classified as
offenses against persons. Fifty-eight percent of these offenses against
persons were nonaggravated assaults, 24% were serious assaults, and 18A
were sex offenses. Offenses against property made up 40% of the total
number of incidents. Of these, 440% were thefts, 41% were incidents
involving property damage, and 15% were burglaries. A large number of
the property damage incidents occurred in the Central Area (downtown)
and involved vandalism against commercial establishments. Public
disorder offenses make up 340: of the total. Eighty percent of these
incidents were classified as "disturbing the peace." A large number of
these incidents involved reports of loud parties in the North and South
Areas and therefore are not likely to be affected by improvements in
street lighting.
Table 15 shows the distribution of types of incidents broken down by
area. These data indicate that public disorder offenses were much more
common in the North and South Areas than in the Central Area. This type

' of incident represents 43% of all incidents in the North and South Areas
t but only 25% of the total in the Central Area. The reason for this
finding is that many of these incidents involve loud parties as
discussed above. Table 15 also shows that property damage was more
frequent in the Central Area than in the other two areas. Other
differences by area were not large although thefts were slightly more
frequent in the North and Central Areas than in the South Area.
Table 16 presents a breakdown of the time of day when incidents
occurred by study area. The upper panel of the table shows this
breakdown when the time of day was classified as "day" or "night." The
finding is that there was a nearly identical distribution of incidents
across the three areas when this typology is used. Slightly over three
fourths of the incidents occured at night (6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.) in
all three areas.
The lower panel of Table 16 shows the distribution of incidents by
four categories based on the hour when the incident occurred. Although
incidents occurring between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. were
more frequent in the Central Area than in the other two areas, the
differences were not large enough to be statistically significant. In
general, however, it is clear that a large proportion of incidents,
regardless of area, occurred during the night.

The data show a predictable pattern of increases ass

increases and decreases may appear to be exceptionally large, these
should not be given too much weight. A small number of complaints can
result in a large percent increase (or decrease) on a month-to-month
basis and may not represent a meaningful trend. These data are
presented primarily to provide an idea of the number of incidents which
occurred during each month. In essence, these incidents consitute the

during the entire period. The number of complaints in the North Area
also increased in September but the level was less than in some previous
months. During this same period, complaints in the South Area followed
a similar pattern thus suggesting a more general trend which was not
associated with the street lighting. Nevertheless, the level of

!, complaints in the North Area tended to remain low during subsequent
months with an increase in the latter part of the period (March -June,
1983). It may be proposed that incidents in the North Area are most
likely to be affected by street lighting since most of the incidents in
the Central Area occur in the downtown area and are not likely to be
affected by lighting.
Figure 3 presents the monthly trend for nighttime incidents. These
data show a pattern similar to that found for all incidents. That is,
there was a marked increase in the number of nighttime incidents in the
North and Central Areas just prior to the installation of the street

These data again suggest that there may have been a short-term effect of
street lighting on nighttime incidents which may have persisted somewhat
longer in the North Area.

of nighttime incidents in the South Area during December, 1982, the
ratio of nighttime incidents to total incidents remained rather stable
during the 30 -month period. Thus, the ratio of nighttime incidents to
total incidents does not appear to have been influenced by the street
lighting program.
As discussed above, the number of incidents within an area fluctuates
a great deal from month to month. While it is possible to see some
trends, data presented in this manner make it difficult to arrive at
firm conclusions. One method for "smoothing" time series data to lessen
the effects of periodic fluctuations is to compute moving averages for
the series. For the purposes of this analysis, three-month moving
averages were calculated for the monthly number of complaints. This
method removes some, but not all, of the seasonal variation in the data
and facilitates the examination of trends. The three-month moving
average is calculated as the sum of the number of complaints for three
sequential months divided by three. Since there is no data point
preceding January, 1981, and none following June, 1983, the three-month
moving average cannot be calculated for these months.
The three-month moving averages for the total number of incidents by
month and area are presented in Table 19. In addition, the moving
average is expressed as a percent of the average number of complaints
per month for the entire period to permit assessment of the magnitude of
fluctuations in the moving average over time. Figure 5 presents a
graphical display of the three-month moving averages. These data
present a clearer picture of the trends which were discussed above. In
the North and Central Areas, there was a substantial increase in the
number of complaints just prior to the completion of the installation of
the street lighting in April, 1982. During the folowing summer, there
was a downturn in the number of complaints in both areas. However, the
level of complaints in both areas remained high when compared with the
entire year of 1981. In the fall of 1982, there was another substantial
increase in complaints in the Central Area. Although complaints also
increased in the North Area, the change was less marked than in the
Central Area. Following the increase in September, 1982, complaints in
the North and Central Areas declined until February, 1983, and then
increased again.
What is interesting about these trends is that the trend in the South
Area showed a continued decline in the number of complaints during the
months after the installation of the street lights. In early 1983,
however, the number of complaints began to increase again. Thus, the
pattern observed for the South Area is more consistent with a possible
effect of street lighting than the trends which occurred in the North
and Central Areas. Nevertheless, the data suggest that the additional
street lighting may have had a modest, short-term effect in the North
Area. This inference is based on the decreases in the number of
complaints in the North Area which begain in June, 1982, and continued
until February1983, in addition, although complaints in the ,Forth
Area began to increase in early 1983, they remained substantially below
the levels which occurred during April and May of 1982. For example, in
April, 1982, the three-month moving average for the North Area was 88.3

complaints which was 179% of the mean for the entire period. In April,
1983, the comparable statistics were 51.3 and 104%. In short, if the
additional street lighting had an effect on the total number of
complaints, the effect was probably limited to the North Area, was
modest in strength, and did not prevent an upturn in complaints during
early 1983.
Table 20 and Figure 6 present similar trends for nighttime incidents
only. These data show a pattern very similar to that found for the
total number of complaints and therefore do not require further
discussion. The trends for nighttime incidents also suggest that any
effect of street lighting was confined to the North Area, was modest in
strength, and possibly short-term in nature.
The complaint data examined thus far exhibit clear seasonal
fluctuations. The use of three-month moving averages removes some, but
not all, of the seasonal influence. To permit a better comparison of
trends for comparable periods in different years, the annualep rcent
chane in the number of complaints by month and quarter are presented in
Tables 21-23. These data allow comparison of the level of complaints
for the same month (or quarter) prior to and after the installation of
the additional street lighting.
The large increases in the monthly number of complaints which
coincided with the installation of the additional street lighting are
evident in Table 21. For example, in April, 1982, the number of
complaints in the North Area was 884; higher than the preceding April.
Also, there was a 97% increase in May over the previous year's number of
complaints. Thus, it is clear that the installation of the additional
street lighting did not have an immediate impact on the level of
complaints in the North Area. In the Central Area, the increase in
complaints peaked somewhat earlier than in the North Area. For example,

TABLE 20 (Continued)
North Area Central Area South Area
Mean Number

Total Number

The three-month moving average expressed as a percent of the mean
number of complaints per month for the total period (January, 1981
to June, 1983).
' The installation of the street lights was completed in April, 1982.
' Mean number of complaints per month for the total period.
the largest increase was an 87% increase in March, 1982, over the
previous March. In May, there was a 26% increase and in June, a 24%
! decrease. The year-to-year change in number of complaints peaked even
earlier in the South Area and decreased substantially in May (-40%) and
June C-87%).
It is also evident from Table 21 that many of the 1982-83 changes by
month differed sharply from the 1981-82 changes. In the North Area, for
instance, there was a 35% decrease in complaints during April between
1982 and 1983 while the 1981-82 comparison showed an increase of 88%.
This would suggest that the street lighting had an immediate and
dramatic impact on the level of incidents. However, the pattern of some
changes suggests that the effect, if any, of the street lighting was
short-term in nature. In the North Area, there was a 480' decrease in
complaints during May between 1982.83 which was followed by a 41%
increase in June. In the Central Area, the corresponding changes were
an 18% decrease and 85% increase. In short, the data indicate that
while there were some substantial decreases in the monthly number of
complaints between 1982 and 1983 in the ,forth and Central Areas, there
also were some increases toward the end of the study period.
The annual change in the number of nighttime incidents is shown in
Table 22. In general, the trends found in these data are consistent
with the trends for total incidents. In some instances, however, the
percent changes are larger. The 1981.82 change in May in the North Area
i was an 131% increase which was followed by a 47% decrease in 1982-83.
j Overall, however, the trend for nighttime incidents again suggests that
the effects of the street lighting may have been short-term.
f As mentioned previously, month-to-month changes in numbers of
complaints should be viewed with some caution since a small number of
complaints may result in a large percent decrease or increase. The

instability of the number of complaints on a monthly basis may also hold
true for year-to-year changes. To obtain a larger number of complaints
as the basis for comparison and remove some of the seasonal fluctuation,
the complaints were aggregated by quarter. The 1981-82 and 1982-83
changes in the number of nighttime incidents are shown in Table 23. In
the North Area, there was no change in the number of complaints in the
first quarters of 1981 and 1982. However, the first quarter of 1983
showed a 29e decrease from 1982. The second quarter changes included an
86" increase between 1981 and 1982 and a 28% decrease between 1982 and
1983. The third and fourth quarter changes between 1981 and 1982, which
spans the period when the street lights were installed, shows moderate
increases in the number of complaints (17% and 22;). While the
magnitude and timing of the pattern in the Central Area differs

somewhat, these trends would again lead to the conclusion that the
effects of the street lighting program, if any, were apparent only for
the short-term. However, it should also be pointed out that some the
largest decreases in the number of complaints occurred after a period of
increases during the Fall of 1982 as was previously noted.
Yet another method for examining trends involves the fitting of trend
lines to time series data. In the graphs displayed in this report, the

descriptive purposes, it is often difficult to determine more general
trends.

The annual percent change for 1982-83 cannot be computed since
complaint data were not obtained subsequent to June, 1983.
The method of linear regression fits a straight line to a series of
data points. In essence, this means that a straight line is plotted
through a series of data points and a regression coefficient is obtained
which reflects the average increase (or decrease) in the level of the
series over time. The linear regression method is useful for describing
time series data with a simple model, that is, a straight line.
However, a straight line may not provide a meaningful fit to data which
vary up and down on a seasonal basis. For that reason, linear
regression analysis was conducted for three different time series: the
total study period, the pre -installation period, and the
post -installation period.
The results of the linear regression analyses of total and nighttime
incidents by period are presented in Table 24. In the North Area, there
was a modest upward linear trend in the number of complaints during the
total period for both total and nighttime incidents. As indicated by
the trend coefficient, there was an average change per month of .352
complaints during the 30 -month period assuming that a straight line
adequately describes the trend. In addition, the relationship between
time and the number of complaints was weak since the linear correlation
was only .136 (.146 for nighttime incidents). However, when the
analysis was conducted separately for the pre- and post -installation
periods, a different pattern was found. There was a positive linear
trend during the pre -installation period (1.075 complaints per month)
which was followed by a negative linear trend during the
post -installation period (-2.490). Although neither of these
coefficients attained statistical significance due to the small number
of cases (months), it seems fair to conclude that the trends in the

The annual percent change for 1982-83 cannot be computed since
complaint data were not obtained subsequent to June, 1983.
The method of linear regression fits a straight line to a series of
data points. In essence, this means that a straight line is plotted
through a series of data points and a regression coefficient is obtained
which reflects the average increase (or decrease) in the level of the
series over time. The linear regression method is useful for describing
time series data with a simple model, that is, a straight line.
However, a straight line may not provide a meaningful fit to data which
vary up and down on a seasonal basis. For that reason, linear
regression analysis was conducted for three different time series: the
total study period, the pre -installation period, and the
post -installation period.
The results of the linear regression analyses of total and nighttime
incidents by period are presented in Table 24. In the North Area, there
was a modest upward linear trend in the number of complaints during the
total period for both total and nighttime incidents. As indicated by
the trend coefficient, there was an average change per month of .352
complaints during the 30 -month period assuming that a straight line
adequately describes the trend. In addition, the relationship between
time and the number of complaints was weak since the linear correlation
was only .136 (.146 for nighttime incidents). However, when the
analysis was conducted separately for the pre- and post -installation
periods, a different pattern was found. There was a positive linear
trend during the pre -installation period (1.075 complaints per month)
which was followed by a negative linear trend during the
post -installation period (-2.490). Although neither of these
coefficients attained statistical significance due to the small number
of cases (months), it seems fair to conclude that the trends in the
North Area did differ between the pre- and post -installation period. In
0;?S
51
addition, the linear correlations (.250 and -.413) indicate that the
linear trend provided a moderately good fit to the data.
The middle panel of Table 24 shows the results for the Central Area.
There was a statistically significant upward linear trend (1.056) over
the entire period and the linear correlation was .372. As in the North
Area, however, the pattern differed markedly for the pre- and
I post -installation periods, Prior to the installation of the street
lights, there was a moderately strong upward trend in the Central Area
(1.950) which was followed by a weak downward trend during the
post -installation period (-.543). The corresponding linear correlations
were .425 and -.087 which indicates that the linear trend provides a
reasonably good description of the data during the pre -installation
SII period but not during the post -installation period. A similar pattern
' was found for nighttime incidents.
In the South Area, a very different pattern was found. For the
entire period, there appeared to be essentially no linear trend (linear
correlation = -.087). However, there was a moderate upward trend during
the pre -installation period followed by a strong upward trend during the
post -installation period. The average linear change per month during
the pre -installation period was .788 complaints per month; during the
post -installation period it was 3.0 complaints per month. The
corresponding linear correlations were .261 and .649 (the latter was
statistically significant) indicating moderate and strong relationships,
i
respectively.
In sum, the regression analyses provided clear support for the
conclusion that, on the average, complaints were increasing prior to the
installation of the street lights and decreased during the subsequent
months in the North and Central Areas. In contrast, there was a marked
upward trend in complaints in the South Area during the
post -installation period. These linear trends should be interpreted
with caution since they represent a simple (linear) model of the trends
which were previously discussed. Nevertheless, the regression analyses
are consistent with the view that there was some decrease in complaints
in the North and South Areas following the installation of the street
lights.
Tables 25.30 and Figures 7-12 present data concerning trends for
particular types of incidents. Since many of the breakdowns involve
small number of complaints, the data were aggregated by quarter to
improve the statistical reliability of the results.
The trend for incidents involving offenses against persons is
displayed in Table 25 and Figure 7. The number of incidents per quarter
in Table 25 is shown as a percent of all incidents during the period
within a given study area. This permits an assessment of tendencies for
incidents of a particular type to occur early or late in the period.
With regard to offenses against persons, differences in the time trend
across areas were statistically significant. The pattern indicated that
there tended to be proportionately fewer incidents of this type in the
North Area during the last two quarters than in the Central and South

Areas. For example, 5% of the incidents involving offenses against
persons during the 30 -month period in the North Area occurred during the
first quarter of 1983. This may be compared with 8% for the Central
Area and 12% for the South Area. In short, the data suggest that there
may have been a moderate decline in offenses against persons in the
North Area. Although such incidents also declined in the South Area
during the latter months of 1982, they increased in early 1983. The
number of incidents of this type in the Central Area has remained more
or less constant since the installation of the street lights.
The trends for burglary (Table 26 and Figure 8) showed a clear
pattern of a decreasing number of complaints during the
post -installation period with one exception. There was an upturn in the
number of complaints in the South Area during the last two quarters of
the period (January -June, 1983). However, there are three
qualifications to this finding. First, the downward trend in burglaries
was apparent as early as the third quarter of 1981, well before the
installation of the street lights. Second, there was a sharp increase
in burglaries in the North and South Areas during the third quarter of
1982, after the street lights were installed, and then the downward
trend resumed. Third, the differences in the trends across areas were
not large enough to be statistically significant. In short, although
there has been a decrease in burglaries since the street lights were
installed, it is not clear that this trend was associated with the
street lighting p01 se.
The quarterly trends for theft are displayed in Table 21 and Figure
9. The most striking aspect of these trends is the marked increase in
thefts in the North and Central Areas during the second and third
quarters of 1982 which were followed by substantial decreases. The
level of thefts in the South Area remained more less constant during the
30 -month period with some seasonal fluctuation. Also, the differences
in the trends by area were statistically significant. These data
clearly suggest that there was not a short-term effect of street
lighting on thefts, especially in the Central Area. However, the street
_ lighting may have contributed to the decline in thefts which occurred in
the latter part of 1983 into early 1984. In short, the evidence for an
effect of the street lighting program on thefts is somewhat mixed.
The trends for property damage incidents clearly do not provide
support for an effect of street lighting. In the first place, none of
the areal differences in the trends were statistically significant.
Second, there was an increase in property damage incidents in the North
and Central Areas during the post -installation period.
CPS-
54
The trends for public disorder offenses (Table 29 and Figure 11)
differed significantly by area. In the North Area, there was a
substantial increase in such incidents just prior to the installation of
the street lights during the second quarter of 1982. This was followed
by equally substantial decreases during the following months. Public
disorder incidents in the Central Area also increased substantially but
peaked later than in the North Area. All three areas showed large
increases in this type of incident during the second quarter of 1983.
Although it possible that the additional street lighting had a temporary
impact on public disorder offenses in the North Area, this was probably
not the case. In the North and South Area, many, if not most, of these
incidents involve complaints concerning loud parties. It is unlikely
that street lighting would have an impact on this type of problem.
Table 30 and Figure 12 show the trends for suspicious activities.
There was a substantial decrease in the number of such complaints in the
' Central Area during the period immediately following the installation of
! i the street lights. This was followed by a moderate pattern of increases
and decreases. The North Area also experienced a decrease in suspicious
activities during the immediate post -installation period but the general
trend for this area suggests a more or less constant level of complaints
over time. In addition, the number of complaints of this type
originating in the South Area decreased consistently during the
-� post -installation period. Thus, with the exception of the Central Area,
! the trends for incidents involving suspicious activities do not provide
much support for an effect attributable to the additional street
lighting.

Summary of Results
Examination of month-to-month changes in the number of complaints
received by the ICPD revealed a sharp decline in all three areas
immediately after the installation of the street lights. Since
this decline was evident in the South Area, where no additional
street lights were installed, it seems unlikely that it was
related to the street lighting program. However, the monthly
level of incidents in the North Area remained relatively low
during subsequent months, This latter finding suggests that the
street lighting may have had a moderate effect on incidents
within the North Area only.
2, The patterns found for three-month moving averages for each area
further support the findings discussed above. These data show
that levels of incidents in the Central Area tended to remain
high during the months following the street light installation
although there was a substantial decrease in the fall of 1982.
It is also clear that the number of incidents in all areas
increased toward the end of the study period (June 1983). This
suggests that the effect of the street lights in the North Area
may have been short term in nature. However, even though the
level of incidents in the North Area increased during the spring
, it remained substantia
of 1983lly below the level which occurred
just prior to the installation of the street lights.
lyses of

areasewere also undertaken. Thieslinear
These analyses
showed that complaints in the North Area exhibited a moderate
upward trend before April 1982 and a moderate downward trend
subsequently. Complaints in the Central Area showed a moderate
upward trend which was followed by a weak downward trend. In the
n
Central Area, there was a moderate upward trend followed by a
strong upward trend. Thus, these data also support the inference
that the effects of the street lighting were moderate in strength
and were restricted primarily to the North Area.
4. Analyses of trends for particular types of incidents suggested
that the street lighting may have affected burglaries, suspicious
activities, and, to a lesser extent, thefts. In the North and
South Area, burglaries exhibited a generally donward trend after
April 1982. In the South Area, there was an increase in
burglaries which was not apparent in the other two area.
However, the downward trend in the North and Central Areas was
apparent prior to April 1982 and is based on a small number of
incidents. Thus, the trends for burglary do not provide strong
evidence for an effect of street lighting.
Complaints concerning suspicious activities in the North and
Central Areas declined during the post -installation period. In
the North Area, however, there was an increase in the second
quarter of 1983 to preinstallation levels, Suspicious activity
complaints also decreased in the South Area so the evidence for
an effect of street lighting is not clearcut.

6. With regard to thefts, the number of incidents in the North and
Central Areas was very high about the time that the street lights
were installed. However, thefts declined substantially during
the latter months of 1982 and tended to remain low thereafter.
In the South Area, the number of thefts was more or less constant
during the study period. Altough thefts in the North Area
increased during the second quarter of 1983, the trends for theft
provide the clearest support for a possible effect of the street
lighting program.
7. ilia trends for offenses against persons, property damage, and
public disorder offenses did not exhibit trends which would
indicate an effect of street lighting. Although public disorder
offenses declined sharply in all areas just after the
installation of the street lights, they rose to relatively high
levels again in the second quarter of 1983. Since a majority of
public disorder incidents involve complaints about loud parties,
it is unlikely that this type of incident would be affected by
street lighting.

RESULTS: RVAP ➢ATA
The annual trends for different types of crisis calls received by the
Rape Victim Advocacy Program (RVAP) are presented in Table 31. These
data show that calls concerning rape decreased in the year prior to the
installation of the street lights but increased thereafter. However,
calls concerning assault and harassment decreased during the
post -installation period. The decrease in harassment is consistent with
some of the findings based on the community survey data.
The RVAP data should be taken as only a general indication that the
street lighting program may have affected such incidents since the data
are not disaggregated by area of occurrence.

Re: Gas/Electric Franchise -- Legality of Franchise
or Rental Fee
Dear Mayor McDonald and Members of the Council:
AREA CODE 319
351.1058
I have been asked to comment on a memorandum concerning the
legality of franchise or rental fees submitted to us by Iowa -
Illinois Gas & Electric Company. The proposed franchise for both
electricity and gas provides for a rental fee for the use of the
public streets and ways based upon a percentage of the collected
gross revenues derived by the Company from the distribution and
sale of electricity and gas to customers within the corporate
limits of the city. The rental fees shall be surcharged to all
customers receiving electricity and gas service within the city.
Iowa -Illinois has also submitted a provision that if the rental
fees are held to be invalid or void, the City shall indemnify and
hold the Company harmless for any rental fee monies required to
be repaid to the customers.
Essentially, Iowa -Illinois argues that a city may not impose
any franchise fee or charge any rental fee for the use of city
streets without express statutory authority. Under home rule
legislation, Chapter 364, Code of Iowa 1983, certain limitations
are imposed upon the powers oF cities notwithstanding the home
rule grant. Sub -section 364.3(4) thereunder states that "A city
may not levy a tax unless specifically authorized by a state
law". Iowa -Illinois claims that a franchise fee is a tax and
therefore there is no express authority in the state law
authorizing such a tax.
.2G
Honorable Mayor and City Council
January 3, 1985
Page 2
In addition, Iowa -Illinois maintains that a fee for the use
of the streets and public ways, whether it is denominated as a
franchise fee or as a rental fee, similarly cannot be imposed ab-
sent express legislative authority to do so relying on the case
of City of Des Moines v. Iowa Telephone Company, 181 Iowa 1282,
162 NW 323 (1917).
Finally, Iowa -Illinois contends that even if a franchise fee
or rental fee is negotiated and agreed upon in the franchise
agreement itself, that portion of the franchise agreement is
unenforcible as being beyond the legal power of a city to
enforce.
Iowa-Ilinois does, however, concede that a license fee to
conduct its business in the City of Iowa City may be imposed 'so
long as the fee is not used to produce general revenues for the
City and is limited to the direct and indirect costs concerned
therewith.
POWER TO IMPOSE A RENTAL FEE
In my opinion, Iowa -Illinois may be incorrect in its asser-
tion that a franchise fee denominated as a rental fee for the use
of the streets by the utility would probably be invalid on the
basis that express statutory authority therefor is lacking. It
should be noted that the grant of home rule contained in Section
364.1 (Code of Iowa) 1983 does contain the following language:
"A city may, except as expressly limited by the Constitution, and
if not inconsistent with the laws of the general assembly, exer-
cise any power and perform any function it deems appropriate to
protect an preserve the rights, privileges, and property of tt e
cit or its residents, and to preserve and improve the power,
sa ety, health, welfare, comfort and convenience of its resi-
dents" (Emphasis supplied). I believe that an argument can be
made that this statutory language authorizes a rental fee for the
use of the streets in that the income therefrom can be used to
help defray the cost to the City for wear and tear to the streets
occasioned by utility's operations. From the power granted to
protect city property the power to impose a rental fee to defray
the costs of that protection may necessarily be implied
therefrom. It must, however, be emphasized that this interpreta-
tion has not been tested in or decided by the Iowa Supreme Court.
Cases from other states are not particularly helpful since each
Honorable Mayor and City Council
January 3, 1985
Page 3
state's laws are different and peculiar to that state.
WHEN DOES A FEE BECOME A TAX?
Iowa -Illinois appears to equate a franchise fee with a tax
and therefore the fee cannot be imposed or agreed to in the fran-
chise agreement since cities do not have authority to levy a tax
without express state authorization. Section 364.3(4) Code of
Iowa 1983.
Taxes are enforced proportional contributions from persons
and property levied by the State by virtue of its sovereignty for
the support of the government and for all public needs. 16
McQuillin "Municipal Corporations" (3rd Ed.) Section 44.02 at 6.
A tax is a charge to pay the costs of government without regard
to the special benefits conferred. Newman v. City of Indianola,
232 NW2d. 568, 573 (Iowa 1975). MunicipZ Faxes are t ose im—
posed by a municipality under constitutional or statutory
authority delegated to it by the state, to support the local
government and pay its debts. 16 McQuillin, Section 44.02.
The question then arises as to when the City is allowed to
charge a fee and in what manner the fee will be assessed, so as
not to be an unconstitutional tax. Fees are distinquishable from
property taxes. A fee is usually imposed for some specific
purpose, it does not create a lien on the property and may be
enforced personally against the person or entity owing the fee.
C��.-tYY of Fairmont v. Pitrolo Pontiac -Cadillac Co., 308 SE2d 527,
V (77 Va. TM) . X`F5`xor roar y creates alien and is not
enforcible against the taxpayer personally. Id. at 529.
A fee is charged in exchange for a particular government
service benefiting the party paying the fee in a manner not
shared by the whole of society. (Providing the use of the public
streets and ways). The fees imposed are not used to raise
revenue, but to compensate the government for providing a
particular service. Fees cannot be used to produce general
revenues for the city, and cannot be so large as to exceed the
direct and indirect costs concerned therewith. Merrelli v. St.
Clair's Shoes, 96 NW2d 144 (Mich. 1959). This distinguishes fees
r� om taxes wiich are used to raise general revenue for the city
and are compelled. The general rule is that fees and taxes must
be reasonable. Ottumwa V. Zeekind, 64 NW 646, 648 (Iowa 1885).

Based on the foregoing, it is my opinion that the franchise
fee is not a tax. As stated previously the fee for the grant of
the franchise will be denominated as a rental fee rather than as
a franchise fee. The two terms should be kept separate.
However, the discussion as to whether the fee is a tax or not
seems to be to be equally applicable to either type of fee.
Accordingly, the uses to which the revenue can be put will be
limited, in the case of a rental fee, to help defray the costs
occasioned by wear and tear and damage to the streets and public
ways as a result of Iowa -Illinois operations and the
administrative costs connected with the administration of the
franchise and the regulatory ordinances. As originally
envisioned (in whichever form), the revenues produced by the fee
would be used to cover the administrative costs of the ordinances
and in some cases to provide subsidies to property owners who
undertake energy-saving measures. This latter use would probably
not now be permitted in order to escape the onus of a tax rather
than a fee. There are undoubtedly a number of uses to which the
revenues could be put that could be justified as part of the
direct and indirect costs of administering the franchise and com-
pensation for the use of the public streets, but I will not
attempt to outline them here.
FRANCHISE FEE AS A LICENSE FEE
As previously mentioned, Iowa -Illinois has conceded that a
license fee to conduct its business in the City of Iowa City may
be imposed as part of the franchise so long as the fee is not
used to produce general revenues for the City and is limited to
cover the direct and indirect costs concerned therewith. As part
of the franchise the City is allowed to charge a fee for issuing
a license to Iowa -Illinois to conduct its operations in the City.
The principles applicable in the previous section of this opinion
are also applicable in the case of a license. The restrictions
on the use of the revenue would be even more restrictive and
would relate mainly to the administrative costs of issuing the
license, keeping the record, etc. which would be a relatively
small cost in proportion to the revenues expected to be generated
if the fee is treated as a rental for the use of the public
streets and ways.
Iowa -Illinois has pointed out in its memorandum that the
o?b
Honorable Mayor and City Council
January 3, 1985
Page 5
Legislature, in 1983, added a new sub -paragraph to Section
364.2(4)(f) which provides that, "if a city franchise fee is
assessed to customers of a franchise, the fee shall not be
assessed to the city as a customer". This amendment does indeed
recognize that some cities in Iowa have imposed franchise fees on
utilities and that these fees are then passed on the utility's
customers. Iowa -Illinois indicates that it does not believe that
such language constitutes the "specific authority" to levy a tax
contemplated by Section 364.3(4), nor is it the "express legisla-
tive authority" to do so as required for the imposition of rental
fees for the use of streets. I would agree with that conclusion.
This opinion has attempted to point out and distinguish the
types of franchise fees that can be involved in the pending fran-
chise. The primary concern is not whether or not Iowa -Illinois
would challenge the validity of the fee since it appears that
this will be agreed to, but rather the challenge by third parties
that could be mounted. Obviously, I cannot predict how the
courts would interpret the fee as to whether or not it is a tax
or whether there is authority to assert it. However, it is my
judgment that the best basis for success would be categorize the
fee as a rental for the use of the public streets as is
contemplated in the proposed franchises.
I would be glad to answer any questions that the members of
the Council may have concerning this opinion.
very truly yours,

MEMORANDUM ON THE LEGALITY OF FRANCHISE FEES IN IOWA
The question of whether a city may impose a
franchise fee or a rental fee for the use of the city
streets has arisen in the context of the Company's
obtaining franchisesin Iowa City. This issue was
previously researched by our office. A copy of
Bill Waterman's Memorandum of July 14, 1965, is
attached.
We have determined that the cases cited in the
1965 Memorandum still appear to represent the judicial
climate in Iowa.
The Iowa legislature, in Section 364.3 Code of Iowa
1983, provides for certain limitations upon the powers of
a city. Subsection 364.3(4) states:
A city may not levy a tax unless
specifically authorized by a state
law.
It would appear, then, that a city may not charge
any franchise fee and may not charge any rental fee
for the use of the city streets without specific
legislative authority. License fees may be imposed
but only if limited to the reasonable cost of enforcement.
The legislature, in 1983, added a new subparagraph
to Section 364.2(4)(f), which provides:
If a city franchise fee is
assessed to customers of a franchise,
the fee shall not be assessed to the
city as a customer.
While the statutory provision obviously recognizes
some cities have imposed franchise fees on utilities
and that these fees are passed on to the utility's
customers, we believe such language would not constitute
the "specific authority" to levy a tax contemplated by
Section 364.3(4), or the "express legislative authority"
to do so as required by the Iowa Supreme Court for the
imposition of rental fees for the use of streets.

Dear Mr. Clark:

CITY
(,i 19) 5 G ';l f 'l. ;
Thank you for your letter of December 13, 1984 and your concerns about the
Iowa City Airport. The following information was prepared by Mr. Fred
Zehr, Airport Manager. Virtually all of the information herein previously
has been available as public information. However, your letter and this
response will be included in the City Council packet so that the informa-
tion is available to the news media.
There have not been any agreements reached with any of the property
owners surrounding the airport regarding the purchase of land. land
acquisition is eligible for reimbursement under the FAA's Airport
Improvements Program, on a 90/10 basis. Because of the strict
requirements in the federal land acquisition program, certain proce-
dures must be followed to assure eligibility for reimbursement. At
the present time, we are entering into contracts for appraisals of the
properties after which time negotiations will start with the landown-
ers. The airport has nonessential land that may be able to be used to
trade for the farm ground needed, thus reducing considerably the costs
of this acquisition.
The value of the Iowa City Airport is its location. It is a downtown
airport which is surrounded by major four lane highways (see attached
memo regarding the Iowa City Airport). The Iowa City Airport gener-
ates approximately 50% of its operating budget from users of the
airport through leases on rented buildings and hangars, fuel flowage
fees, and farming nonessential property. The other 50% is provided by
City Council from the General Fund. The Airport Commission is
currently developing additional hangar projects that will reduce the
General Fund obligations in the future.
3. Currently the priority for funding of a new general aviation facility
is very low. A new facility would cost in the neighborhood of $10
million. The funds allocated for all of the general aviation airports
in Iowa under the Airport Improvements Program is only $2 million.
These funds are spread among approximately 100 airports in Iowa. The
FAA has directed its efforts toward maintaining present facilities
rather than developing new ones.

The improvements planned for the airport should continue to i -grove
the safety record of the Iowa City Airport.
4. The City Council has allocated approximately $793,000 to extend runway
24, 355 feet to the southwest as part of the project to regain funding
status. This includes all the required land, easements and engineer-
ing to complete the project. Council is also appraising undeveloped
land in the other clear zones surrounding the airport for possible
acquisition. Preliminary estimates are approximately $250,000, of
which 90% may be eligible for reimbursement from the FAA. Your concern
about a new facility was answered in item 3, above.
5. The new development corporation has been working closely with the
airport to make industries aware of the potential of the Iowa City
Airport. Members of the development corporation have indicated that
the Iowa City Airport has some very unique land to offer industries.
It is one of the few airports in Iowa that has so much accessible
industrial land. We believe that there is a good opportunity for
developing an industrial park at the airport that will help the tax
base of Iowa City.
6. The Iowa City Airport is a major benefit for Iowa City as well as
Johnson County, Coralville and the surrounding communities. It would
be very helpful to have the support of the surrounding communities in
the operations of the Iowa City Airport.
Thank you for your inquiries regarding the Iowa City Airport and for your
comments regarding its operations.
Sincerely yours,
XJ 4Z��

Re: Consideration of buying land around airport.
Honorable Mayor:
Even though I am a Coralville resident and business person, I would
like to request your informing the general public about:
(1) whether there is any agreements with the property owners in
question, that will allow the City of Iowa City to purchase their
properties for preservation of the clear zones at the appraised values;
or will they need to be condemned. If condemnation is needed, it may
take years and closer to a million dollars to acquire the land needed;
(2) who or what companies or enities feel we have to have an airport
here instead of a regional airport at Cedar Rapids, and how is the
airport financially supported;
(3) Is there F.A.A. funding for acquiring a new facility. If so,
would the City of Iowa City area be better off financially and legally,
since you are always going to be faced with acquiring the current
existing commercial properties already in the clear zones; plus I will
always wonder about the potential liability the City faces if a major
crash occured with say Colonial Lanes and a number of lives were lost;
(4) Since the City of Iowa City is considering spending $1,100,000.00
on runway expansion and possibly ten per cent of acquiring more land;
if the F.A.A. would pay a major portion of a new facility, you may be
able to have a new ten million dollar facility for no less expenditure
than being considered presently, and we would not have the problem of
future acquisitions in the clear zones, etc.;
(5) Have you asked for information and assistance from the new
development corporation that the City helped fund for attempting to
entice new industry into Iowa City; and
(6) If a new facility and/or major updating is justified, you may
want to consider the possibility of sharing the costs on a regional
basis; i.e., allocation to the City of Coralville, Johnson County, etc..
Thank you for/ your consideration!

Re: Lower Ralston Creek Parcels
Background
The Lower Ralston Creek Improvement Project was begun in 1979 and completed
in 1982. It involved the acquisition of land, relocation of residents and
businesses, demolition and clearance of vacated buildings, and the construc-
tion of flood control improvements. The improvements are shown on Attachment
1.
One of the stated objectives of the Lower Ralston Creek project was "to
promote more rational land use by assembling and selling parcels vacated for
the project and not used for public improvements or facilities for redevelop-
ment in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan of Iowa City." In order to
accomplish this objective, the City -had planned to sell some of the vacant
parcels which remained after the project was completed. An attempt was made
to sell five of these parcels (Parcels A-1, A-2, A-3, 8 and C on Attachment
2) in early 1983. However, due to problems created by the City's outdated
floodplain maps, it was decided to delay the sale until the floodplain maps
were updated.
Current Status
Last year, an engineering study was commissioned by the City to determine the
impact of all Ralston Creek improvements on the floodplain. As a result, the
official floodplain maps have been revised, and the City's Floodplain
Ordinance has been amended to reflect all changes certified by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. For the Lower'Ralston Creek area in particular,
significant improvements were made: Parcels A-1, A-2, A-3,, B and C are no
longer subject to the 100 -year flood, and Parcel D would only require
approximately 1/2-1 foot of fill to raise it above the 100 -year floodplain.
In the past two years, the City Council and staff have received several
inquiries from potential buyers of the Lower Ralston Creek parcels. Since we
are now in a position to reconsider the sale of these parcels, the City
Council is asked to review the following information about the parcels and
consider the staff's recommendations.

Discussion
Parcel A-1 is separated from the other vacant City -owned parcels by an alley.
It has limited utility because of its size but is suitable for site assembly
and development with adjoining privately owned properties. The owners of
adjacent properties have expressed interest in buying this parcel.
Parcel A-2 is adjacent to Ralston Creek and has a nominal 65 foot frontage on
Benton Street. The parcel has limited utility because of its size and
narrow, elongated shape. In the past, there have been discussions about the
desirability of maintaining an open space buffer in this location along the
creek.
Parcel A-3 is adjacent to Ralston Creek and has a 180 foot frontage on South
Dubuque Street. This parcel could be developed alone or in conjunction with
an adjoining privately owned property. It has been mentioned as an off-site
parking area for the new Johnson County office building.
Parcel 8 is adjacent to Ralston Creek and has a nominal 50 foot frontage on
Benton Street. The parcel has very limited utility because of its size.
Like Parcel A-2, it has been considered in discussions about an open space
buffer.
Parcel C is adjacent to the creek and has a nominal 90 foot frontage on
Lafayette Street. The parcel has limited utility due to its access but could
be developed alone. It has been considered in discussions about an open
space buffer.
Parcel 0 is adjacent to Ralston Creek and has frontage on Harrison and Linn
Streets. This parcel was originally designated in the Lower Ralston Creek
Plan as a site for assisted housing. Several inquiries have been made to the
City about its sale.
Recommendations
jConsidering the above information, the staff recommends the following actions
be taken with regard to the six Lower Ralston Creek parcels:
Parcel A-1 should be sold.
Parcel A-2 should be retained by the City as an open space buffer.
Parcel A-3 should be retained by the City until such time as the future
parking requirements for the new county office building are known.
Parcel B should be retained by the City as an open space buffer.
Parcel C should be retained by the City as an open space buffer until such
time as an interest is expressed in private redevelopment for at least part
of it.
M"
3
Parcel D should be retained by the City as an open space buffer until such
time as further interest is expressed in private redevelopment. Since the
parcel was once designated for assisted housing, the City Council could
consider redevelopment for a public purpose.
Staff will be present at the January 8 informal Council meeting to discuss
this matter with the Council.

Re: Riverside Court
Riverside Court is a 17 foot wide unimproved alley platted in 1908 as
part of Crowley's Riverview Addition. Until this year the alley served
the University of Iowa and one property owner who had four homes located
on Lot L along said alley. The University of Iowa has purchased all of
the property adjacent to this alley except that parcel as shown on the
attached plat. Except for the house located at the intersection of
Riverside Drive and Riverside Court, the University has removed all of the
homes and regraded the property. During football games, this area was
used for parking purposes and the University had difficulty establishing
grass cover. Therefore, with permission granted by the Public Works
Department and consent from the adjacent property owner, the University
constructed a temporary fence across the alley at the adjacent property
owner's west property line to keep people from parking on their property
and to keep the adjacent property owner from storing equipment on that
property.
The University of Iowa has, as of this memo, removed the fence from across
the alley.

Re: Exercise Rooms - Civic Center and Transit Facility
Recently employee exercise rooms were opened in both the Civic Center and
Transit Facility. Councilmembers are invited to tour and/or use these
facilities at your convenience. Equipment for the facilities was purchased
through some employees designating for this purpose the $25 per employee in
wellness funds appropriated by Council for FY85. Additionally, some of the
Civic Center equipment is made available through the Police/Fire wellness
program and was moved from its previous location in the Central Fire Station.
The Civic Center facility is located directly off the employee break room in
the previous records retention room (records were moved to a new location at
the Rec Center). The Transit Facility exercise room is now located in the
unused paint room but will be relocated in the future if that room is
scheduled for use. Both locations contain an exercise bicycle, rowing
machine, exercise mat, free weights and bench, and the Civic Center location
also includes a Universal type weight machine and an extra exercise bicycle.
Additional equipment may be purchased in the future if funds continue to be
designated by employees this fiscal year for that purpose. Classes on the
use of weight equipment have been conducted.
Use of the facilities is for City employees only and each user must sign a
waiver of liability. Use is permitted during the lunch hour or before/after
working hours only. The facilities are available during the open hours of
each building: Civic Center 6:00 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Monday -Friday, Transit

MEMORANDUM
Iowa City Public Library
Date: January 2, 1985
To: City Council
From: Lolly Eggers, Library Director
Re: Library -generated Revenues
At the request of Carolyn Cavitt, President of the Library Board of Trustees,
I am sending you information about the increase in revenues generated by the
library since FY80 and some projections for the future. She thought this
would be a useful supplement to the recent report on five year financial
projections for Iowa City prepared for you by the Finance Department.
As the attached chart shows, although the library's annual budget (Line 8)
has increased substantially since FY80, the share provided by non -library
generated revenue (primarily property tax) has declined from 88.1% in FY80 to
85.5 in FY85. [See line 9.] Thus the library has been able to increase its
revenues at a faster rate than its annual operating budget.
In addition to the general operating budget, the library is generating about
$35,000 per year in other revenue, primarily from gifts and sales [see lines
10-14].
The library has three other major sources of "revenue" not reflected in this
chart. The volunteer program and in-kind gifts of library materials enhance
current operations and the Foundation's endowment fund accumulates capital
to provide future income.
Each of the nine major sources of library income and its potential for the
next few years is discussed below.
1. Johnson Count Contract. Income from this source has increased from
x,060 n FY o $109,000 in FY85, a 160% incredse. An on-going
contract with the City now guarantees that the County will pay 10% of the
library's operating budget as approved by the City Council. Thus
automatic increases are built in and a contract change would be needed
only if the County's share of use changes substantially.
2. Non -Resident Fee Cards. This fee has gone from $30 per family in FY79 to
0 Per family in FY85. The fee is reviewed annually and set at an
amount approximately three times the annual per capita cost for library
services to Iowa City taxpayers. It will increase, then, at the same
rate as library expenditures. At about 90 cards a year (this number is
increasing slowly), it currently produces about $6,300 a year.
3. Library Fines. Income from fines has tripled since the computer system
was nsta a in late FY79 ($11,996 in FY79; $36,400 in FY84) and is
continuing to increase at a rate of about 10% in FY85. All increases so
33
PAGE 2
far have been from improved reporting and collecting procedures due to
the computer and from the large increase in library use. The Board is
currently considering a major increase to the fine rate which should
double the current income in two to three years and be close to $90,000
by FY90.
4. Reserves. Since 1980 the library has charged .50f to reserve an item not
currently available. Use of this 'service dropped drastically when the
fee was first installed but has begun to increase in the last few years.
It now generates about $1,000 per year.
5. Miscellaneous Sales and Commissions. Income from public telephones and
vending machine commissions and the sale of withdrawn library materials,
photocopies, the newspaper index and bookbags has increased substantially
since FY80 and now generates about $15,000 per year. The income from
photocopies and the newspaper index are in a revolving fund which support
these functions within the library. Without them an additional $5-$6,000
per year in operating budget would be required to pay for internal
copying and indexing of the newspaper. (These figures do not include
items sold at FRIENDS booksales.)
Contributions to the Giftsand Be uest Fund. Receipts into this fund
have ncrease rom n F to 00 in FY84, an increase of
705. Income is from two small trust funds, memorial and other gifts
given the library by individuals and local organizations, a major annual
gift from the FRIENDS (at least $10,000 per year since FY82) plus annual
interest an the on-going balance of $20,000. (This fund does not include
any money raised by the Foundation nor does it include all monies raised
by the FRIENDS.) Income into this fund will increase slightly as FRIENDS
increase their membership and activities and thus the size of their
annual gift. On the other hand, some miscellaneous gifts which used to
come to Gifts and Bequests are now being given to the Foundation.
7. Grants. The library received $65,600 in grant money during the FY80-84
pepeerte. The possibilities of more grant money are not bright because 1)
sources of federal and state grants are diminishing, and 2) the library
is now too under -staffed to research and write grant applications.
8. ICPL Foundation. Now in its third year, the Foundation is raising
approximately 35,000 a year through its annual fund drive. In FY86 it
is planning a major capital drive to build an endowment fund which could
provide from $50,000 to $100,000 per year in annual income by FY1996.
Foundation money is not included in the attached chart.
9. Gifts In -Kind. While it is difficult to put a hard dollar value on
va unteers and gifts in-kind of library materials, their impact on the
library operation is so important they cannot be ignored. Volunteer
hours have increased from 450 in 1979 to 5,770 in FY84. At minimum wage,
5,770 hours has a value of $23,500 per year. The current number of
volunteer hours will not increase substantially until supervisory staff
can be increased.
In-kind gifts account for about 15-20 percent of all materials added to
the library's collections. In FY80 this was 970 items valued at $6,300;
in FY84 it was 2,418 items valued at $21,500. The number of gifts
received has increased steadily, but future growth will depend on the
33
PAGE 3
prosperity of the community, the number of University of Iowa students
and the ability of the staff to review and process an increased number of
items.
Summary:
Since about FY1978, the Library Board has taken a very active interest in
increasing the resources available to the library. They have managed to
increase the library's share of total revenue despite major increases to the
operating costs for the library. They have monitored their fees and charges
regularly, increasing them whenever it seemed justified. They have developed
two support groups to enhance revenues and provide other kinds of resources.
They have created a volunteer corps and a major gift book operation. In FY85
the library will generate nearly $200,000 in revenue plus $35,000 in new
Foundation funds and in-kind resources valued at $45,000. They are currently
planning to increase revenues in the short-term by increasing current fines
and fees and in the long-term by building an endowment fund to generate
increased annual income.

Re: Increase in monthly billing fran $28.40 to $30.85
The story told by your sales representatives when we contracted for
hookup with your cable service was that increased usage with greater
numbers of subscribers would result in greaten' efficiency of operation
with subsequent rate reduction.
Your billing this month was an increase of $2.45, an increase of 8.636,
with no explanation other than "Increased programing and operating
costs m8ke it necessary.... For a service I already consider
emrbi.tantly priced, this explanation is hardly sufficient. Have your
costs of providing the service increased by 8.636? It seem to me as
a person possessing only layman's knowledge about the net profit to be
made in this business, franchised by our local city government, that an annual.
$370.20 Pei. household is one heck of.a piece of change to be making
once you pay for your initial installation, even with equignent up -date,
maintenance, and other associated costs of operation.
In sumary, I believe a little more detailed information needs to be
passed on to your censuners about where this money is going. it would
also be nice if we knew about it before the price hike was made instead
of after. Only then can we make an informed decision about discontinuing
the service or continuing to pay the price.
Very„tnuly yours,
Iar D. Fblmtain

DISTINGUISHED BUDGET PRESENTATION AWARD
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented an Award for
Distinguished Budget Presentation to the City of Iowa City, Iowa, for its annual budget for the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 1984. In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document
that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan and as a
communications medium. The City of Iowa City was one of the first nineteen organizations to have received
the award on a national basis.
The award is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current budget continues to conform to
program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award.

FY86 BUDGET SUMMARY _
FY86 over FY85
Increase

FY84 FY85 FY86 Decrease
1. Comparison of operating budget increase
with inflation and constant dollar budget:
Actual Budget* $18,503,748 $20,038,277 $20,136,599 0.5%
Budget in Constant 1967 Dollars 6,062,827 6,389,7.57 6,174,977 (3.4x) -
'Excludes Debt Service and CDBG
2. All Funds - Total Budget $26,941,808 $29,750,542 $29,470,582 (0.9X) -
3. General Fund $11,841,824 $12,792,793 $13,344,138 4.3%
4. Total Tax Levy 11.908 10.652 10.885 2.2% -
5. Average Residential Property Taxable Valuation $38,773 $45,946 $47,661 3.7% _
6. Average Residential Property Taxes, City Share $461.71 $489.42 $518.79 _
Increase (Decrease) over prior year $27.71 $29.37
% Increase (Decrease) 6.0% 6.0% _
7. The transit fare is proposed to increase from $.40 to $.50 effective July 1, 1985. The fare was last -
increased in FY83. The recent reduction in Federal and State Transit Assistance has increased reliance
upon fare revenue and the local subsidy for funding of transit operations. Therefore, the increase is
proposed for July 1, 1985, rather than January 1, 1986, as originally planned.
B. The monthly refuse collection rate is proposed to increase from $3.50 to $4.30. This rate increase -
will make the operation 100% self-funded. Therefore, for the first time, refuse collection operations
will not require a subsidy of property tax monies from the General Fund.
9. Road Use Tax Revenues continue to lag behind the annual operating costs for Traffic Engineering and for
Streets, making it necessary again to fund a portion of these costs from property tax revenue. -
_ 10. No Expanded Service Level requests for General Fund operations were approved in the FY86 Proposed
Budget since future financial projections show a funding shortfall for the General Fund if property
taxes are held to a maximum annual increase of 6%. Additional revenues/funding sources must be found
for the General Fund before services can be expanded. The City Council has approved a study of
i additional revenue sources which is scheduled for completion during FY86.
11. The FY86 proposed budget includes personnel additions only in the Equipment Maintenance Division. Two
positions were added as a result of staffing needs for the maintenance of buses. The complexity of
repair work on the City's newer buses and the operation of the maintenance area in the new transit
facility necessitate an upgrade in the maintenance work now being provided for buses. These recommen-
dations result from a study of transit maintenance operations which was completed in FY85.
12. Projected personnel costs are preliminary estimates because contract negotiations with the City's three
bargaining units are not concluded. Settlement of the contracts may necessitate budget revisions.
13. The estimated year-end fund balance for the General Fund in FY86 is higher than the balance that the
City has tried to maintain in the past. The increase in the balance results primarily from surplus
funds from FY84. It is financially prudent to increase the year-end balance since financial projec-
tions indicate that the City is facing lean years, starting in FY86, during which the General Fund will
show an annual shortfall in revenues.
14. Iowa City was in the forefront in its adoption of a formal fiscal policy in 1973. That policy dealt
with capital expenditures. A recommendation from the recent review of Iowa City's budget for the
Distinguished Budget Presentation Award was that specific financial policies which guide the prepara-
tion of the operating budget should be stated in the budget. This has been done in the section
entitled Financial Policies for the Operating Budget. These policies are not new, but are a summation
of the policies used in past years. The two major items in the policy statement deal with the prepara-
tion of a balanced budget such that : 1) available resources and anticipated expenditures are equal,
and 2) the year-end unreserved balance is maintained at a levet which will fund cash flow requirements
in the first quarter of the following fiscal year. It is recommended that the City Council review
these policies and adopt them as part of the Operating Budget.
E
CITY OF IOWA CITY
CNIC CEN(ER 410 E. WASHNGTON ST. IOWA CiTY, IOWA 52240 (319)356-50M
January 2, 1985
City Council —
City of Iowa City
Iowa City, Iowa 52240 !�
Mayor and Councilmembers:
In compliance with the provisions of Article IV Section 4.04(9) of the Charter, this proposed FY86 Operat-
ing Budget for the City of Iowa City for the 12 month period ending June 30, 1986, is provided for your —
i consideration.
REVENUES
1. The proposed budget will result in a net increase of six percent in property taxes for the average
iresidential property owner. A more detailed description of the tax levies and their computations
appears in the Budget in Brief.
2. The FY86 budget anticipates a lower level of total receipts for Federal Transit Assistance, State
Transit Assistance and State Municipal Assistance than in FY85. Because these sources provide $533,662 _
in operating budget support, any further cutbacks by the Federal or State government in these areas
could result in a substantial revenue shortfall. This could require a reduction in expenditures or �-
increase in revenues, other than property tax, later in FY86. However, at this time no additional
reductions in these sources are anticipated.
3. The City started collecting a five percent Hotel/Motel Tax on April 1, 1983. The FY86 budget estimates
revenue of $178,428 from this tax and does include taxes from the Holiday Inn. The Hotel/Motel Tax has
been allocated using the breakdown established by the Council for the FY84 Budget. Fifty percent is
used to fund a portion of the cost of the four new police officers added in FY84. Twenty-five percent
is allocated to the Convention Bureau and 25 percent is to be transferred to a Reserve Fund for future
recreation facilities and parkland acquisition.
4. Road Use Tax revenues continue to lag behind Street Maintenance and Traffic Engineering operating
costs. in FY86 it is predicted that Road Use Tax will fund only 86 percent of these operating costs.
I The shortfall of $279,612 will be funded from property tax revenue.
I 34
5. Federal Revenue Sharing is projected at the same level as for the current entitlement period which ends 1
September 30, 1985. Federal Revenue Sharing was approved by Congress for funding at this level through
September 30, 1986.
In FY86 the proposed budget allocates Federal Revenue Sharing to Aid to Agencies ($175,290) and Transit
Operations ($67,072). This leaves $308,221 which is available for capital improvements. In accordance
with the City Council's policy, increasingly revenue sharing is being removed from general operations
so that if revenue sharing is discontinued, the operating departments of the City will not be adversely
affected. The Council previously discussed using Federal Revenue Sharing for partial funding of a
Civic Center Office Space Expansion project. No decisions have been made on such a project and the
Federal Revenue Sharing balance remains unallocated in the FY86 budget.
I
6. The transit fare is proposed to increase from 40 cents to 50 cents effective July 1, 1985. Decreasing
— J State and Federal transit operating assistance has placed more dependence upon fare revenue and the
local subsidy for funding of the annual operating costs of the Transit System. This decrease in
transit assistance and increased operating costs have necessitated an increase in both fare revenue and
i the local subsidy in FY86.
7. The refuse collection monthly rate is proposed to increase from $3.50 to $4.30 in FY86. This increase
will make refuse collection 100 percent self-funded by its user fees and will eliminate the need to
subsidize operations with property tax revenue from the General Fund.
8. All revenue projections which are based upon a per capita rate are computed using the 1980 census
population figure of 50,508.
i EXPENDITURES
1. A chart following the Budget in Brief shows the City's expenditure budget for the past five years in
7 both actual dollars and in constant dollars. The shaded area demonstrates the effect which inflation
has had on the City's expenditures while the constant dollar amount shows that the City's overall
expenditures have increased very little from year to year. Most of the City's increase in expenditures
_ has resulted from the effects of inflation.
2. The Parks Budget includes a $10,000 transfer to the Parkland Acquisition Reserve which is to be
_ utilized for future parkland purchases. This annual transfer amount was established in FY83.
I
I
I 3.
As in previous years, increased funding has been provided for Aid to Agencies. An increase of five
percent is provided. However, as the City Council makes final decisions concerning the individual
agencies, the amount included in the proposed budget is not to be construed as the City Manager's
recommendation.
4.
In FY86, all costs for employee health insurance, life insurance, social security (FICA) and the Iowa
Public Employees Retirement System (IPERS) are being paid out of the General Tax Levy. These costs may
be paid out of the Trust and Agency Levy if a City is at the $8.10 maximum for the General Tax Levy.
_
Since Iowa City's General Tax Levy is below the maximum, these costs must be paid from the General Tax
i I
Levy.
5.
A micro -computer acquisition fund of $30,000 is included in the City Manager's budget. This fund will
be allocated to departments following the review of department requests for micro -computers. The FY85
budget included a fund amounting to $50,000 which was to have been used for microcomputers for the
j
Police Department and five other departments. A re-evaluation of the Police Department's data process- _
ing needs shows that microcomputers will not be sufficient to meet their needs. The FY86 budgeted
amount will provide additional funding for the Police Department without reducing the funding available
j
for microcomputers for other departments. _
6.
The Accounting Division budget includes monies for upgrading the City's computer system. The current
computer system provides on-line data processing applications for 24 users in Finance, City Clerk,
Human Relations, Equipment Maintenance, Housing and Inspection Services and Animal Control. This is _
the maximum number of on-line users that can be supported by the computer hardware. The number of ap-
plications has grown to the point where the current computer does not have the power to support further
applications without resulting in a substantial reduction in response time whichnegatively affects the
computer's performance for the on-line users. A major data processing application yet to be developed
is a property file which will provide data on all properties for the Departments of Housing and -
Inspection Services, Public Works, Planning and Program Development and Fire. The upgrade of the
central processing unit and software is planned to occur in FY86 with funding being provided by both
the FY85 and FY86 budgets. V .,
7.
The bus maintenance function within the Equipment Maintenance Division must be upgraded due to the
complexity of repairing the City's newer buses and needed changes in operations resulting from the new
bus maintenance area located in the new transit facility. The proposed budget provides for two
additional positions and an increased training budget for bus mechanics as a preliminary proposal.
_
Although the cost of this upgrade is budgeted under the Equipment Maintenance budget, the Transit
System will eventually be responsible for paying for these increased costs through the chargebacks to
Transit from Equipment Maintenance for their services.
B. The budget for building rental expense in the Government Buildings budget includes an additional
$20,000 to cover the cost of providing additional office space for the City. Space needs in the Civic
Center require that interim measures such as leasing additional office space or purchasing temporary
buildings be undertaken within the next year. Office space needs cannot be ignored until such time as
a building expansion project has been completed.
9. During budget preparation, Departments are required to prepare their budgets based upon continuing the
level of service at which they are currently operating. Departments are also permitted to submit
requests for the funding of Expanded Service Levels (ESL). Information on ESL requests are provided
with each budget. ESL requests were approved for funding in the FY86 Budget only in the Enterprise
Funds. No ESL request which would have to be funded by the General Fund was approved due to the fact
that future financial projections show a funding shortfall in the General Fund if property taxes are to
be maintained at an annual increase of six percent or less. Although many ESL requests are justified,
they.cannot be approved until additional revenue or new revenue sources are developed for the General
I Fund.
The FY86 General Fund budget shows expenditures exceeding revenues by $123,372. This revenue shortfall can
be covered in FY86 with the available excess unreserved balance from FY84. In the future, the City must
strive to equalize annual receipts and expenditures to eliminate funding shortfalls. Therefore, service
levels and expenditures in the General Fund should not be expanded until the City has identified sufficient
revenues to avoid future funding shortfalls.
Following is a listing of the ESL requests regarded as priorities and which would have been approved for
funding had additional revenues been available in the General Fund. Should additional revenues become
available during FY86, the following items are recommended for funding:

FINANCIAL POLICIES FOR THE OPERATING BUDGET
SCOPE
The purpose of this section is to present the policies that the City of Iowa City follows in managing its
financial and budgetary affairs for the Operating Budget. The funds involved are the General fund, the
Debt Service fund, the Enterprise fund, the Trust and Agency fund - Pension and Retirement, the Intra -
governmental Services fund, and the Special Revenue fund; Most of these policies are not new, but repre-
sent long-standing principles and traditions which have guided the City in the past and have allowed the
City to maintain its financial stability.
POLICIES
I. Balanced Budget
1. The operating budget of the City of Iowa City shall be drawn so that available resources' and
anticipated expenditures are equal.
2. The City will maintain an unreserved balance at year-end at a level determined by Council to fund
cash flow requirements in the first quarter of a fiscal year.
II. Revenues
1. Property Taxes
A. General Tax Levy
The budget of the City of lana City shall be drawn so that the general tax levy does not exceed
limits established by State law.
B. Debt Service Levy
Taxes shall be levied each year under the Debt Service Levy in the amount equal to the general

the 'enterprise funds.
C. Tort Liability Levy
The City levies for the expected costs of one year's premiums on property and liability
insurance policies held by the City.
0. Trust and Agency Levy
The City shall levy under Trust and Agency for:
1. The City's share of contributions to police and fire pension and retirement systems, at
rates determined by an actuary, for current sworn officers.
2. The City's share of contributions for employee benefits budgeted under the General Fund
only if the general tax levy is equal to the maximum levy established by State law.
E. Transit Levy
Taxes levied under the transit levy shall not exceed the limit established by State law. Tax
revenues from the transit levy will be receipted into the General Fund then transferred to the
Transit Fund.
2. Fees and Charges
The City will establish fees and charges in accordance with revenue bond requirements or for
covering all or part of the related costs of providing the services.
3. Investments

investments within the limits of the State law.
4. Intergovernmental Revenue
Revenues from local, State and Federal governments will be used according to the restrictions or
intent placed on each.
5. Additional Revenue Sources

reduce operating expenses.
3. Infrastructure and Equipment
The City will continue the scheduled level of maintenance and replacement for its infrastructure
and equipment.
4. Reductions
To balance the budget, the City.will attempt to avoid reductions. If the situation arises, consid-
eration will be given first to alternatives which avoid employee layoffs, resist cuts in service
and establish user fees.
IV. Economic Development
The City will take active measures to encourage economic development of the community with the intent
of increasing jobs and the tax base.
V. Debt Service
1. Purpose of Debt

2. Debt Limit
The total general obligation debt will not exceed 5% of the total assessed value of real property.

BUDGET IN BRIEF
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.
The recommended expenditure budget for all operating funds in FY86 is $29,470,582. Many reductions were made
in departmental budget requests. In particular, departments were not allowed to budget for emergency costs. _
Because of this, budgets may need to be amended more frequently. It is deemed more appropriate to amend a
budget based on actual need rather than to allocate funding for every eventuality which, in most instances,
will not occur. _
GENERAL GOVERNMENTAL OPERATIONS
General Governmental Operations consist of the General Fund, the Debt Service Fund, the Trust 6 Agency Fund,
the Equipment Maintenance Fund, and the Special Revenue Funds.
A. PROPERTY TAX
The City's property tax request of $10,525,721 for FY86 will be levied as follows:

Preliminary estimates indicate that total assessed valuation in Iowa City increased from
$1,124,655,722 to $1,170,515,229 as of January 1, 1984, or an increase of 4.1%. The majority of the
increase resulted from real property growth (new construction). Final figures on the assessed
valuations for utilities were not available prior to the printing of the proposed budget. The Council
will be notified, during budget discussions, of any revisions in assessed valuation which will
materially affect the property tax computations.

to $962,217,089 as of January 1, 1984. This is an 8.3% increase in taxable valuation.
_4 In preparing this proposed budget, property taxes were held to a 6% increase, for the average residen-
tial property owner, over FY85 taxes. The increase in taxable valuation for residential property was
- 4%. This is due to the rollback factor rising by 4% from FY85. The following chart shows how
property taxes for the average residential property will be affected by the property tax levy. recom-
mended in the proposed budget. The average residential assessed valuation used in this chart is based
on information obtained from the City Assessor.

f Property is reassessed every two years. FY85 was a reassessment year. The taxable valuation in FY86
E ! increased 4% the amount that the rollback factor increased. It was therefore possible to increase the
tax levy by�only 2% in order to hold the increase for a homeowner's actual tax dollars to a 6%
increase over FY85 taxes.
The rollback factors are computed by the State. They are intended to equalize the total state-wide —
property values at a 4% increase each year. For FY85, the rollback was .698754 on residential
property and is .724832 for FY86. The rollback on commercial properties was .917230 for FY85 and is
.954242 for FY86. '
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 $3,227,525 and will yield revenue of
$9,695.
Property taxes which fund General Fund operations include the following levies:

—
These tax askings will increase 7.4% ($575,130) in FY86. Excluding the substantial increase in the
Tort Liability Levy for increased insurance costs, the tax askings increase by 4.8%. _
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 FY86, 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 FY86, 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 tFundhe money allocated by the State for the military service tax credit.

1. Personages
Personnel costs are primarily controlled by collective bargaining agreements. Employees of the City
are represented by three unions: AFSCNE (Local 1183), the Police Labor Relations Organization of Iowa
City, and the International Association of Firefighters (Local 1610).
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. All supervisory, confidential, temporary and other employees who are excluded by law in

_ Sworn police officers are represented by the Police Labor Relations Organization of Iowa City. The
bargaining unit is composed of all Iowa City police officers. Exempt from the unit are the police
chief, deputy chief, captains, sergeants, and other confidential, administrative, supervisory and less
than half-time employees.
A one year contract was negotiated with the Police Union and is effective July 1, 1984, through June

Employees who are administrative, supervisory or otherwise ineligible for collective bargaining are
covered by the Personnel Rules and Regulations. Some are eligible for Civil Service. Salaries and
benefits are determined by the City Council upon the recommendation of the City Manager. Guidelines
for increases are set by the City Manager, with the amount of the increase determined by the depart-
ment head, and final approval of the City Manager. A specific proposal for salary increases for these
employees will be presented to the City Council during discussions of the proposed FY86 Budget.
The percentage increase between the FY86 estimate and FY85 Budget is based upon a preliminary salary
increase projection and projected costs for fringe benefits. The salary projection includes both a
July 1st across the board increase and the salary adjustments (step increases) which are scheduled to
occur during the fiscal year. Pending contract settlements may necessitate revisions in the salary
budget amounts.

Estimated 6-30-86 Balance
;„ad=ea3��
11
The estimated 6-30-86 balance is higher than the $700,000 balance that the City has tried to maintain in
the past. For the past several years, the General Fund budget has been prepared using the assumption that
the unappropriated year end balance would be approximately $700,000. 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.
July/September July/September Shortfall
Fiscal Year Receipts , Expenditures in Receipts
FY85 $1,814,963 $3,722,020 ($1,907,057)
FY84 $1,203,122 $3,123,522 ($1,920,400)
FY83 $1,354,860 $2,694,988 ($1,340,128) _
FY82 $ 964,788 $2,402,406 ($1,437,618)
FY81 $1,398,018 $2,482,549 ($1,084,531)
The $700,000 year end balance now provides for less than 50% of the shortfall. The remainder is funded w
internally 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 balance 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 si
balance will be used for parking facility improvements.
cl
The increase in the ending balance is due primarily to an available excess unreserved balance that existed
at the end of FY84. This excess balance resulted because actual expenditures were less than budgeted and L.
actual receipts were more than budgeted. ri
The proposed rate increases in the Transit fares and in Refuse fees allow for a reduction in the operating
subsidies for Transit and Refuse which is paid from the General Fund. If these increased rates are not
approved by the City Council, the operating subsidies will need to be increased by$196,644 which will also
reduce the General Fund ending balance by the same amount to a revised balance of $882,564.
It should be noted that the FY86 proposed Budget for the General Fund still shows a shortfall in available
• revenues for the funding of budgeted expenditures. For this reason, no expanded service levels for ^
General Fund activities were approved. The approval of expanded service levels will only increase the
potential annual revenue shortfalls in future years. The City must not continue to increase its General
Fund expenditures unless additional revenue can be found. It should be the City's goal in the future to
approve a balanced budget for the General Fund in which revenues equal expenditures. In this way, the City
will be living within its means. Bond rating agencies look for signs of both current and future financial
stability in establishing a City's bond rating. Frequent annual operating deficits will have a negative.
impact on a bond rating. Such deficits indicate that annual revenues cannot support annual expenditures
and show a potential for the erosion of a City's financial stability.
The following bar chart shows how receipts have exceeded or fallen short of expenditures in the General
Fund in past years and for future years' projections. The bars above the line show receipts exceeding
expenditures while the bars below the line show a shortfall in receipts. The City is now experiencing
revenue shortfalls. The projections show excess revenues starting in FY88. The projections assume an
annual inflationary expenditure increase of between 4 and 5%, do not include the funding of any expanded
service levels and assume an annual increase in taxable assessed valuation of 8%. If expenditures
increase more than projected or if assessed valuations increase at a lower rate than projected, or if
State and or Federal revenues decrease or are discontinued, the revenue shortfalls could possibly extend
to fiscal years past FY87.

The projected ending fund balance for the General Fund for 6-30-86 is adequate based upon cash flow needs
in the fiscal year's first quarter. It should also be noted that the fund balance could be reduced if
bargaining unit negotiations result in higher salary increases than is included in the proposed budget.
Although, several expanded service level requests in FY86 are justified for funding approval, it must be
noted that the majority of those requests involve personnel costs which require on going expenditures in _
future years. Using the fund balance in FY86 to fund on-going costs will solve the funding problem for
FY86 but would only create a larger potential funding shortfall in future years. The surplus funds left
from FY84 provide an excellent opportunity for the City to now establish a healthier fund balance in
preparation for the future lean years.
E. DEBT SERVICE FUND
Fd
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. The tax levy experiences a substan-
tial increase in tax dollars in FY86. The City's last bond issue was sold in December 1982. Bonds will
be sold in 1985 to provide funding for capital improvements projects now in progress and projects sched- -1
uled for the summer of 1985. The upcoming bond issue is projected to total $5 million and will provide
funding for the following projects: Bridge Renovation Projects ($1,503,000), Clinton Street Reconstruc- YJ
tion ($171,000), Rundell/Dearborn Storm Sewer ($335,000), First Avenue Culvert ($180,000), Airport Runway
Extension ($800,000), East Side Water Storage Tank ($1,053,000, abated by Water Revenues), various Special
Assessment projects ($485,000, 50% abated by special assessment revenue), Airport T -Hangars ($220,000, c;
abated by hangar rental income), various small projects ($253,000).
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 FY86 will include only the police and
fire pension contributions, worker's compensation insurance premiums and unemployment compensation claims. ..
The City will contribute 18.915% of all sworn police officers' salaries and 30.895% of all firefighters'(_'I
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), CON (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 records for the JCCOG organization.
I
14
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
only street maintenance, traffic engineering and street construction costs. In FY86, Road Use Tax
revenues will fund only B6% of street maintenance and traffic engineering costs. Federal Revenue Sharing
accounts for monies received from Federal Revenue Sharing entitlements. The FY86 Budget proposes using
44% of available revenue sharing for funding the contributions to the human service agencies and for
transit operations. The remainder is proposed to be reserved for projects designated by the City Council,
possibly Civic Center expansion.
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.

Landfill fees will not increase in FY86. They will remain at the current rate of $7.50 per ton
throughout FY86.
Water and Pollution Control rates are currently being reviewed and will be increased during FY85 as
projected in the FY85 Budget. These funds are both self-supporting and rate increases occur in
conjunction with increased annual operating costs and/or for capital improvements.
Airport operations are funded primarily from the operating subsidy from the General Fund (52% of total
revenues) and from building rentals (39% of total revenues). Few alternatives exist for increasing
the Airport's own revenues.

In September 1984, Parking increased service in the Dubuque Street Ramp from 19-1/2 hours a day to 24
hours a day and now operates both ramps on Sundays. This increased operating costs in FY85. The FY86
budget increases because it includes the additional costs for the bonds which will be issued in FY85
to construct two additional floors on the Dubuque Street Ramp.
Pollution Control expenditures increased in FY85 as a result of budgeting for cleaning the digesters.
FY86 continues maintenance at that level.
In Water, FY84 costs were higher than usual due to increased costs for new or replaced water mains.
This resulted from the new construction in town and a larger than usual number of main breaks. The
City was reimbursed for 68% of the construction costs by contractors of subdivisions.
Refuse expenditures reflect only inflationary increases, but no changes in service.
Landfill costs vary according to capital outlay and transfers. FY85 includes a transfer of $341,000
to the Capital Projects fund for the Landfill Leachate Control project (FY86-90 CIP). In FY86, there _
is $305,000 budgeted for contracted excavation at the Landfill site every two to three years.
The Airport pays $10,000 each year for GO Bonds sold in FY83 for T -Hangars. For FY85, a $10,000
transfer was made to Debt Service that should have been made in FY84. FY86 shows an additional
$28,OD0 in the transfer to Debt Service for GO bonds that will be issued for an airport hangar to be
constructed in FY85-FY86.

Transit added a new tripper service in FY85. Transfers to the Capital Projects fund for the new
facility and for bus replacement skews the total expenditures. Without the transfers, FY85 expendi-
tures increase 10% over FY84 (;1,914,356/1,737,008) while FY86 rises only 4.7% ($2,004,818/1,914,356)
to maintain the tripper service added in FY85 and to upgrade bus maintenance in FY86. Bus maintenance
must be upgraded to provide additional staffing and mechanic training due to the operation of the new

EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL REQUEST
HUMAN RELATIONS 01122.0
COST: 111,812
APPROVED FOR FUNDING: No
DESCRIPTION: Half-time Personnel Generalist position.
This position would provide professional level assistance to current staff in the areas of employment,
development and maintenance of personnel systems such as performance evaluation and compensation systems,
and with programs such as Affirmative Action, in-house training, safety, wellness and employee involvement
Jefforts.
The position will assist in research and data collection for collective bargaining and for the
development of new personnel programs.
WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
This position is necessary to maintain the current level of service. Staffing levels in Human Relations
explosion both in legal
have not increased since 1974 although the department in that time has undergone an
restrictions which complicate the job and in demand for services. Within the last several years the
following programs have been added or greatly increased in function: in-house training (13-15 courses per
year), wellness (two separate programs), safety (ten active em to ee committees), employee involvement (six
monthly employee news-
I
employee committees), a functional and effective Affirmative Action program, and a
letter. All basic personnel systems have become more sophisticated in response to both legal and internal
benefit administration, labor contract administration, employee
i
demands - compensation, classification,
selection, and have emphasized cost control and reduction of litigation exposure. These services are
—
necessary to maintain the type of workforce and work environment demanded in Iowa City. Annual incremental
increases in basic services, i.e. employment, and the addition of new programs have begun to create
unacceptable delays in response time to requests for services and may impact on the quality of personnel
decisions and personnel services. The addition of a half-time position will work to remedy this situation.

TREASURY _
To provide accurate records, timely billings and reasonable collection of unpaid accounts for utility and -
parking customers; and to utilize full banking and investment services so that all cash transactions, including
investments, are secured, recorded and yield maximum income opportunities.
DIVISION GOAL:
To meet all billing and collection schedules using information which reflects the customer's status, to invest
100% of idle funds, and to generate statistical and financial reports necessary for analysis of treasury
activities.
GENERAL DIVISION OBJECTIVES:
1. Forecast major receipts and monitor the daily banking activity to maximize investment opportunities and -
investigate alternative types of investments. _
2. Schedule the billing and collection procedures for utility fees and parking fines so that all accounts are
current and to decrease uncollectible amounts. —
NEW DIVISION OBJECTIVES:
1. Review and update service card file by April 1, 1986, so that current information is available on this T
system for each utility account.
2. Research and develop by December 31, 1985, a bidding system for investments which includes: brokers,
depository banks, instruments, projected investment schedule, and yield calculations so that a reliable u"
market is available which functions within banking and state guidelines with maximum income for the City. _
3. Monitor utility uncollectable amounts to determine increase/decrease based on new procedures vs. procedures
prior to November 1983 and complete a two year comparison by November 1985. —
4. Review all customer service billing, collection and banking problems, implement procedures which will deter
future occurrences and communicate to staff.

- Cash register transactions should decrease in direct relationship to the number of Surepay (direct bank
payments) customers. A .5% growth was used to compute proposed figures for utilities. The increase in account
changes is due to increased student population and the number of rental units. The poor economic climate
accounts for the increase in hearing letters for delinquent bills and water shutoffs. Fines were based on a 2%
_ J increase. Investment income should remain stable based on the proposed rate and current long-range invest-
ments. Ending cash balances (increase/decrease) could effect this income significantly.

PROGRAM DIVISION STATEMENT
FUND: GENERAL DEPARTMENT: PARKS b RECREATION
PROGRAM: DIVISION: GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS
DIVISION PURPOSE:
The function of the Government Buildings Division is to provide cleaning, general maintenance, and light
repair services for the Civic Center (with the exception of the Fire Department) and the Davis Building. —
DIVISION GOAL:
To provide'a satisfactory and economical level of maintenance for assigned buildings.
GENERAL DIVISION OBJECTIVES:
1. Continue use of a monthly building cleaning survey. Areas will be graded Poor, Fair, Good, or Excel-
lent. Specific jobs measured will include floor maintenance, room cleaning, toilet care, wastebasket
emptying, glass cleaning, and outside litter.
2. Continue recording legitimate complaints as basis for future comparison.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS:
1. Building Survey. The overall objective for the year is to have all areas rated Good or Excellent 90 r
percent of the time. Any time any area is rated Poor or Fair, it must improve to Good or Excellent the
next month. FY84 surveys show Excellent 37:5%, Good 60.5%, Fair 2%, and Poor 0%. .y
2. Complaints. The number of legitimate complaints will be recorded each quarter. We will attempt to
reduce legitimate complaints five percent per quarter for FY85 or 20 percent for complete year. C_I
Complaints are now averaging three per month. _
DIVISION ANALYSIS:
Through instruction at workshops and new janitorial procedures and supplies, a higher level of building _
cleanliness and maintenance has resulted.

DIVISION ANALYSIS:
During FY84 0.06% of the City's total expenditures were
made with W/MBE's.
Computations
were
also made in
only the areas where there are known W/MBE's: printing,
construction,
etc. when looked at in
that manner,
_
0.56% of the City's expenditures were made with W/MBE's.
The increase
in citizen
inquiries during FY84 was
apparently the result of our expanded outreach program under the Type I
FHAP
grant.

APPROVED FOR FUNDING: No
DESCRIPTION: _
Replace 8' burlap covered room partitions constructed by PPD staff members in 1979 with new, manufactured
room dividers.
WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
Five years ago, in an effort to reduce distractions and increase privacy, PPD staff members considered it —
desirable to divide large areas shared by several people into individual office spaces. At that time.
staff constructed 8' burlap covered partitions. The need has arisen to replace these partitions. The
stability of the room dividers has deteriorated and poses a safety hazard to personnel. Desks and book- _
cases are commonly used to support these dividers. This instability diminishes their usefulness as
bulletin boards as well. These partitions are dusty and difficult to clean and coupled with the untreated
burlap, aggravate the allergic conditions of some staff members. The partitions are not fire resistant and
have been previously cited as a fire hazard in inspections by the Fire Department. The aesthetics of the
burlap partitions is also unappealing. The bulkiness of the dividers is unattractive and the incentive no
longer exists to rectify the continuously sagging burlap.

DIVISION ANALYSIS:
*
The number of callouts 1n FY84 were much greater than
previous years due
primarily to increased lamp
replacements. This trend will be studied to determine
if group replacement
is desirable.
**
Preventive maintenance hours were reduced in FY84. The increased time spent on corrective maintenance
callouts necessitated a reduction in the time spent on field preventive maintenance.
Annual controller
maintenance was completed.
Yearly fluctuation in street striping hours are due to
changes in requests from the University,
Airport,
Coralville, etc, for custom painting.
If
FY83 accident location analysis was reduced due to the
improved method for
charting the annual
accident
location map and a reduction in requests for accident
analysis. It is anticipated that this
reduction
in requests will continue in FY85 and FY86.

leaves because of windy weather FY85 leaf pickup was below normal.
#Drop sidewalks are built in conjunction with street repair work. There is not a special program for drop
sidewalk construction.
##Crack sealing work is performed during dry weather when the temperature is between 400 and 600 to prevent
tracking by vehicles. Therefore crack sealing work can vary considerably from year to year.
DIVISION ANALYSIS:
It is imperative that major preventive maintenance projects be continued to avoid major repair costs in the
future.

EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL REQUEST
STREETS /1430.0
COST: $35,150
APPROVED FOR FUNDING: No
DESCRIPTION:
1. The addition of two Maintenance Worker I positions ($34,895).
2. The addition of one vertical four -drawer legal file cabinet ($255).
WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
1. Since 1981, there have been 15 miles of new streets added to Iowa City. These have added to the
workload of the Streets Division in all programs. In order to perform leaf removal in a timely
scheduled manner, the employees are required to work overtime every day of the week, including some
Saturdays and Sundays. Snow and ice control is difficult to adequately maintain because it takes
longer to go through the routes. The snow routes should be reduced in size by splitting off another
route which could be handled by 2 new employees working alternately. With 2 or more workers, special
jobs requested would not interrupt both the maintenance of concrete, asphalt and catch basins and also
sweeping of streets.
2. Because of the increase in the various records that are required to be kept, an additional filing
cabinet is necessary.

PROGRAM DIVISION STATEMENT
FUND: GENERAL DEPARTMENT: PARKS 6 RECREATION
PROGRAM: NUMAN DEVELOPMENT DIVISION: FORESTRY
DIVISION PURPOSE:
The Forestry Division provides care of established city trees, maintains a tree planting program for city
streets and parks, monitors and advises city residents about tree and shrub planting in street rights-
of-way, plans and maintains flower beds in city parks, acts as a consultant on insect, disease, or land-
scaping problems encountered by other city divisions, and dispenses information to the public concerning
arboricultural problems.
DIVISION GOAL:
To improve the quality of tree care by practicing more efficient and thorough routine maintenance proce-
dures, and by increasing the level of preventive maintenance practices.
GENERAL DIVISION OBJECTIVES:
1. To assist citizens of the community in making better informed arboricultural and horticultural deci-
sions by developing a tree trimning brochure by March 30, 1986, and by holding a tree trimming seminar
on or before April 12, 1986, for Iowa City residents.
2. To decrease contracting of moderately difficult trimming and removal work, and to more effectively use
.city funds by increasing the division's capability to perform the work.
3. To maintain flower beds at the current level, but reduce time spent on flower beds by 5%.
4. To enlist volunteers to improve tree planting and care throughout the City.
NEW DIVISION OBJECTIVES:
1. To increase to 1,200 the number of street trees trimmed.
2. To transplant ten percent of the total number of trees available from the Scott Boulevard nursery to
City property.
3. To increase maintenance levels of specimen trees and shrubs in Hickory Hill Arboretum.

DIVISION ANALYSIS:
The number of street trees trimmed will increase as a result of additional equipment and permanent person-
nel added in FY84.
The increase in the number of trees planted in City Park by seven is directly proportioned to the number of
trees removed in FY84.
Decreasing the total time spent on flower bed maintenance will be accomplished through more efficient
watering methods, and flowers requiring lower maintenance.
Street tree maintenance levels have increased and are being maintained higher than in previous years. The
current levels are approaching the standards which are needed to ensure a sound tree resource within the
City.
The Division will continue to increase the quality of care toward the highest levels achievable with the
equipment and personnel available.

EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL REQUEST
FORESTRY 11510.0
COST: $20,000
APPROVED FOR FUNDING: No
DESCRIPTION:
Aerial lift truck (boom truck). 37' working height
WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
The Forestry Division has no aerial lift truck to use during routine trimming operations throughout' the
City. We must daily trim trees which are ten to twenty-five feet tall by climbing or roping into them.
This is a slow time-consuming process which damages the trees, as they are not large enough to handle the
weight and strain from this type of trimming.
Trimming in this size of tree increases the danger of falling from a broken branch, or slipping from
branches which are too small. This truck would also save money in areas of contracted trimming and
emergency work. Contracted trimming costs have escalated on a per tree basis from $105 per tree to $158
per tree in two years. We have turned down bids of $248 and $209 per tree. Currently, we have only three
contractors willing to submit competitive bids on this type of trimming. We spend $15,000 to $20,000
annually on emergency and contracted trinming of which 50% to 60% is on trees which would easily b handled
by a vehicle this size. Annual cost savings under current conditions would range from $10,000 maximum to
$5,000 minimum. These savings are realized simply because contractors pay their employees more than we do.
We do not feel we need a significantly larger truck than the 36' to 40' size, as the cost would be prohibi-
tive to attempt large tree emergency and routine trimming work.

DIVISION ANALYSIS:
1. Performance measurement No. 1: Trees planted will be equal or exceed the number of trees removed two
years previously.
2. Performance measurement No. 2 - The FY83 figure is low because of lighter than normal amounts of snow,
resulting in less time spent on snow removal.
3. Performance measurement No. 4 - The FY83 figure is high because the monuments repaired were easier and
less time consuming than normal, thus more could be done.
4. Performance measurement No. 6 - The FY83 figure is higher because the area chosen to be pinned was
larger than normal and the entire area was done. Figures from year to year will vary depending on size
of new areas.

PROGRAM DIVISION STATEMENT
FUND: GENERAL DEPARTMENT: POLICE
PROGRAM: COMMUNITY PROTECTION DIVISION: PATROL
DIVISION PURPOSE:
The Patrol Division provides general police services in Iowa City. These tasks include accident investiga-
tion; speed and traffic control; preliminary and some follow-up criminal investigation; general crime

DIVISION GOAL:
The Division will attempt to provide a prompt and acceptable level of response to all called for services
while reducing the number of reported auto accidents and incidents involving criminal and delinquent
behavior.
GENERAL DIVISION OBJECTIVES:
Directed patrol activities will be continued and strengthened as a substitute for random patrol. Directed
patrol will be aimed at the reduction of auto accidents and the suppression and reduction of selected
crimes and acts of delinquency occasioned by patrol needs as indicated by called for services (CFS) in the
several patrol districts.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS:
Performance will be measured by comparison of called for services (CFS) to arrests, citations and tickets
(ACT) issued; and also be an historical comparison of reported motor vehicle accidents.

PROGRAM: COMMUNITY PROTECTION DIVISION: CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION
DIVISION PURPOSE:
The Criminal Investigation Division performs initial and follow-up investigations in all felonies and most
17. serious misdemeanor cases. The Division attempts to ensure the arrest of all offenders in these crimes or
the clearance of offenses through investigative processes.
DIVISION GOAL:
To provide the level of investigative services that will optimize the probabilities for the arrest and
successful prosecution of serious offenders while assuring that critical needs of crime victims are satisfied
through the promotion of close personal and professional contacts with various helping agencies.
GENERAL DIVISION OBJECTIVES:
I 1. Provide investigative and referral services equal to the level provided in FY85.
2. To furnish "quick response", on-call investigative personnel, as needed, and to continue to improve
investigative services to other line police services including support of crime prevention/suppression
activities.
NEW DIVISION OBJECTIVES:
To establish and implement crime prevention measures in selected neighborhoods experiencing high rates of
selected crimes in cooperation with neighborhood groups expressing an interest in the establishment of a
program.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS:
—, 1. The Northside Lighting Project and accompanying crime suppression measures will be analyzed using
before/after rates of increase or decrease in reported crimes; number of called for services, etc.
Special attention will be given to increase/decrease sexual assaults and similar targeted crimes.
2. The number of cases assigned to the Division will be compared to the clearance rate as measured by arrest
and investigative clearance. These do not reflect nature or seriousness of crime.
3. Crime prevention efforts will be measured by the number of neighborhoods establishing programs and the
rate of decrease in reports of selected crimes in the targeted neighborhoods as compared to prior data in
regard to the specific area.

DIVISION ANALYSIS:
Analysis will tabularly depict the volume of complaints received and processed by the Division over the past
five years and into FY86, thus indicating crude workload measurements. Workload, -however, is not precisely
measured by this gross technique. It is only accurate as an indicator of one discrete variable.
w
Historically, crime has proven to be a random phenomenon in Iowa City. Consequently, specific data are hard f1
to collect and even more difficult to analyze.

The department continues with a very busy schedule handling 1826 fire and fire related emergencies during
FY84. In addition to this, the department responded to 415 medical emergencies during the past year. Fire

meetings and committee meetings and take and transcribe minutes of those meetings. The department has a
need for a secretary that is capable of establishing and maintaining a variety of files. There is a need
for a secretary to receive, screen and direct incoming calls in a proper manner. Also there is a need for
a person to receive and transmit radio messages. There is a need for a secretary to collect and compile

shifts and introduce the newest and latest methods of fire service training. It is crucial that one person
J be in charge of the training and just as important that that person work full time on training from 8 to 5,
Monday through Friday, so as to have equal time with each shift. This would provide consistency and
i uniformity not only in training methods but application on the scene of an emergency. It cannot effec-
tively be done by a person assigned to a 24 hour shift. There is a need for a training officer to be
responsible for training reports and records, personnel safety, implementing new programs and carrying on
the established ones. The training officer would schedule for advanced schooling and training programs.
There is a need for a training officer to be responsible for coordinating mutual aid programs and would
perform other duties as required or assigned. There is a need for a training officer to continually
upgrade all phases of training.

WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
This expanded service level should be funded so that the Fire Department can be brought up to the approxi-
mate on -duty strength it had approximately fifteen years alio. Over the same period, the on -duty strength
has suffered because of the giving of holiday time. Later, the amount of holiday time was expanded from 88
hours to 123 hours per person on shifts, an increase of 40% with no additional people. The department
implemented the First Responder program and responds to over 400 calls a year. No additional people were
added for this program. The First Responder people, once committed to a particular call, are legally
obligated to follow through until properly relieved by ambulance personnel, thus for frequent short periods
of time they are lost to the department as firefighters. Members of the Fire Department are allotted time
off the same as other City employees. However, in addition to the normal time off allowed they have been
granted 123 hours holiday time in lieu of the holiday. With consideration to all the time off that an
average person on the department has, the 48 people we have assigned to shifts in reality amounts to 41
people. This will likely continue to get worse as people through seniority gain even more annual leave per
year.
There are many times at the central station that a pumper would have to respond with two people on it and
one of these would be an officer whose primary responsibility is to direct the attack on the fire and the
other person would be a driver/pump operator. At least initially in this situation the officer has no
chance to size up the emergency situation and would have to perform as a firefighter going into the fire
alone, a very dangerous situation. Rightfully, the Pumper should never respond with less than four people
on it. If the aerial ladder were needed on the call, it would respond with a driver only. It takes a —
minimum of four people to place the aerial ladder 'in operation in an acceptable time frame. With the
present staffing, this is the way the aerial ladder responds to an emergency most of the time. Even at
best, there is never more than two on the aerial ladder when responding to calls. The nine additional
firefighters would give the Fire Department three more firefighters each day, allowing for a more accept-
able staffing level on pumpers and aerial equipment responding to fires.

3.
11 additional crystals for all portable and mobile radios - $1,650
WHY
SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
1.
Hi -rise harness packs: The hi -rise packs would enable fire personnel to
quickly and efficiently get
additional hose lines on any floor level in a multi -story building. The hi
-rise pack is a package of
50' of rolled 2-1/2" hose within a leather harness for easy transportation.
2.
Electronic arson detector: This expanded service level should be funded
because of the accuracy of
1
this tool in detecting flammable liquids in arson fires. This device
takes the guesswork out of
locating by-products of flammable liquids thus cutting down on the amount
of time now being spent on
looking for good samples by relying on smell alone. It would also help us
locate the best samples to
be sent in for testing.
—I J
3.
Additional crystals for radios: This expanded service level should be funded to provide much needed
communications between firefighters first on the scene of a medical emergency
and ambulance personnel.
At the present time there is no direct communications and alternatives of
going through a third party
are unreliable, slow and cumbersome.

EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL REQUEST
ANIMAL CONTROL /1330.0
COST: $39,402
APPROVED FOR FUNDING: No
DESCRIPTION:
Add two full-time animal control officers
WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
Present staffing levels allow animal control officers only time to manage shelter, provide care for _
impounded pets and respond to high priority calls for service. Regular patrol is impossible and open hours
have been reduced because of the lack of personnel. • As a result the proliferation of animals on the loose
and the accompanying depreciations to property and people have substantially increased.

DIVISION ANALYSIS:
Success of the federally assisted housing units (Section 8 and Public Housing), is beyond the control of
the Commission since funding by the Federal Government is a key factor to program success. It is not
anticipated that the amount of Federal new construction housing money Iowa City will receive will be —
increased during FY86. However, fourteen new certificates were approved for the Section 8 Existing

DIVISION ANALYSIS:
Iowa City residents have demonstrated overwhelming support for the library not only by their continued
Increase in the use of services (50,000 people have currently active library cards), but also by their
considerable contributions of time, money and materials to help the library grow and expand. If even a
minimum value is assigned to the non -monetary contributions and added to cash gifts, contributions and
volunteer time now account for 12% of the library's annual expenditures.
The 26.5 FTE staff is no longer able to absorb the continued growth of services plus the ever-increasing
task of coordinating huge numbers of volunteers and part-time employees on which the library now depends
for many essential tasks related to delivering basic services at the current level of use. Nor can they
continue to increase annually the number of new items added to the collection --already up 40% since FY80.
Only a 1/4 HE permanent staff position has been added since FY80. In that same period use of the library
has nearly doubled, temporary employees have doubled and volunteer hours have increased by 300%. Some
permanent staff must be added to cope with continuing growth and increasingly complex requests for person-
alized services, and to creatively utilize less costly support resources.

EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL REQUEST
LIBRARY /1630.0
COST: $40,828
APPROVED FOR FUNDING: No
DESCRIPTION:
One three-fourths time Librarian to assist users with special needs, both by phone and in person, and to
help with collection development.
One-half time Senior Library Clerk to assist with promoting services to those with special needs and to
support acquisition and receiving of 40% more new materials.
One-half time Library Clerk to help with the routines and paperwork of employing over 200 temporary and
volunteer employees.
WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
The library's growth in the last three years has just about doubled the rate of use of every service we
provide. We have used every technique we can think of to respond to this increase - to keep lines short,
staff and materials available and to continue to respond to the specific information needs of the people of
this community. We spent 18 months planning what was most important for the library to do - and not to do
- and have worked hard on all these priorities. We have improved service to the elderly, the homebound,
those who lack reading or English language skills, the disabled, children. We have limited service to
college students working on class assignments and refused to serve as babysitters for the young child. We
have done all this with the same 26 positions we have had since 1979 using these methods:
Automation: Four people were diverted to public service; by FY87 $400,000 will be saved over the cost of
Me same services delivered manually.
Temporary Employees/Volunteers: Temporary force has doubled. Volunteers have tripled. They have taken
over many routine tasks n order to leave the more skilled permanent staff available to help citizens with
specific questions and to develop collections and programs. These 200 temps and volunteers now constitute
one-third of the library's work force.
195
I
Reorganized Permanent Staff: Most now have two job assignments - two sets of job responsibilities and
duties in order to staff eight public service stations 64 hours a week with a minimum of temporary employ-
ees "out front."
Self -Help Aids: Developed publications, signage, instructional tapes and a 24-hour, seven day a week cable
channel to make it easier for people to use basic library services without staff assistance.
Gifts and Contributions: At our high rate of use, the $2 million collection would deteriorate badly if we
didn't add a -minimum number of new items each year. To close the gap between tax dollars and need, we have
increased our gift materials operations, strengthened the Friends, and established a foundation. We have
increased acquisitions by 40% in the last five years.
We continue to grow - 7% is the lowest rate of annual growth so far - and the diversity and complexity of
the public's requests are also increasing. We simply cannot stretch these 26 positions any further. We
want to sustain the quality of service Iowa City has learned to expect and for which ICPL has become
famous. To do so, we need to enlarge the permanent staff as outlined above.

Cable TV franchise fee request in priority order.
1. $4,550 additional transfer to library part-time personnel budget.
j 2. $150 additional transfer to library supply budget.
3. $750 additional transfer to library travel budget.
4. $6,955 capital outlay for public access and Channel 20 equipment.
WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
J 1. To allow 20 additional hours per week of use of the audiovisual lab by community access producers,
particularly evenings and weekends.
2. To offset library costs for cables, adaptors and related supplies used by community producers in the
library's AV lab and of circulating production equipment.
3. To allow AV lab assistant to attend regional and national conferences of the National Federation of
Local Cable Programmers. This conference is directly and solely beneficial to cable -related activities
_ and the library has been bearing the full expense for three years. Development in technology, legisla-
tion and services change so rapidly that attendance by at least one staff member is critical.
4. Public access: To purchase an additional circulating one-half inch portable video camera, deck,
lavalier microphone, light kit and tripod. The currently owned equipment is reserved two months ahead
of time and turn downs are increasing.
Channel 20: To purchase a captioning device for the library's cable TV channel so that library
programs may be enjoyed by the hearing impaired, a portable switcher to allow inserting signer for at
least one story hour per month and improve lighting of community events cablecast from the Library
meeting roams.

EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL REQUEST
LIBRARY #1630.0
COST: $4,920
APPROVED FOR FUNDING: No
DESCRIPTION:
$4,920 in additional funds for the library materials budget.
WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
ICPL's collection of 152,000 circulating items is not large enough to adequately serve 50,000 active
borrowers and needs to be enlarged. This was one of the major reasons for building a new library. Since
FY82, through massive rebinding and increased funds for books from both public and private funds, the
library has been able to enlarge the collection despite large circulation increases. Continued circulation
growth and a leveling off of gift funds will cause problems in the future unless the library can continue
to increase its general library materials budget.
Based on studies conducted at ICPL, 35 is the average number of circulations a book receives before it must N,
be discarded or rebound. Therefore, if the ratio between annual circulation and books purchased or rebound 4
is higher than 35, the collection is deteriorating; at 35 the collection is just being maintained; if the
ratio falls below 35, the collection can grow. The Library Board is trying to lower the circula-
tion/acquisition rate one point a year in order to reach a ratio of 30 circulations per new book added by
FY1989.
To meet the Board's FY86 goal of adding one new book for each 33 circulated plus maintaining other collec-
tions, it is estimated7he library needs $159,440 for library materials in FY86. Assuming $130,750 from
the CSL budget (FY85 plus the inflation factor) and $24,000 from gift funds, the library needs $4,690 to
total $159,440. This will purchase approximately 460 books at an average FY86 cost of $10.20 each plus 509
each for processing supplies. _
This ESL is requested only if the library's first priority ESL for additional staff is approved.

Add 20 hours/week part-time temporary aides to assist public users of microcomputers.
WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
According to the Library Board's operating principle 03 from LIBRARY PRIORITIES FOR THE 80'S: 'Information
comes in all kinds of formats and will be supplied (with necessary equipment) in whatever medium best
serves the needs of the user."
A wide variety of microcomputer software is now available to provide significant learning and coordination
opportunities for preschoolers. Other software provides unique access to information and powerful advan-
tages for applying it to daily life situations, from income tax preparation and home budgeting to farm
I
management. Microcomputers are the single most revolutionary breakthrough for increasing employment
training and educational opportunities for the disabled. Some information is now available only through
j
microcomputers.
The library must begin acquiring software appropriate for out-of-school adults and pre-schoolers. The
_
service will not be useful to school or U of I students working on assignments. Access will be designed
for self-service with minimum staff impact, but some mechanical assistance may be needed, and there maybe
an increase in use of other services if new users are attracted to the library.
i
The initial equipment and software will be purchased with gift funds. The additional library aides will be
JI
available during busiest hours to assist the public in the mechanics of operating the equipment.

This ESL is requested only if the library's first priority ESL for additional permanent staff is approved.

PROGRAM DIVISION STATEMENT
FUND: GENERAL DEPARTMENT: PARKS b RECREATION
PROGRAM: HUMAN DEVELOPMENT DIVISION: ADMINISTRATION
DIVISION PURPOSE: —
Direct and coordinate operations in the Department's six divisions: Recreation, Parks, Cemetery, Forestry,
Government Buildings and Central Business District Maintenance; and provide staff liaison for the Parks and
Recreation Commission.
DIVISION GDAL:
To provide a wide variety of Parks and Recreation services and programs through the efforts of a well
motivated, efficient work force at a level of service desired by the City Council:
GENERAL DIVISION OBJECTIVES:
1. Prompt dissemination of information from the Council, City Manager, Parks and Recreation Comnission,
and other departments and divisions to appropriate division heads and divisions. F
2. Systematic monitoring of divisions to ensure that each is functioning effectively and efficiently.
3. Avoid duplication of services within City government, and attempt to avoid duplication of parks and
recreation services and facilities that are offered by other governmental units or private enterprise. 4
ri
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS:
1. Effectiveness will be reflected in how well divisions serve the public. This will be determined by the / �^
frequency of legitimate complaints.
2. Quality will be measured by results and comments on City monthly survey, on the request for service
forms available at the Recreation Center and some parks, results of eight -block area Leisure Needs
Study, and use surveys conducted at the Recreation Center. _.
3. Avoidance of duplication will be accomplished by staff meetings and with quarterly meetings with the
Library staff and Senior Center staff. We will meet as necessary with other groups, such as University
Recreation Service, Coralville Park and Recreation Department and Kirkwood to plan and schedule
programs.
DIVISION ANALYSIS:
To maintain the current level of service, it will be especially important to closely monitor each division
to assure that they are working at capacity.

Every area of the Senior Center - i.e. attendance, number of volunteers, classes, series and special events
has more than doubled since we opened three years ago. Each year the expectations of quality and quantity
of programs at the Senior Center rises. However, the staffing remains the same. If we are to meet our
stated purpose and goal we need to be continually expanding the opportunities for volunteer involvement and
elderly participatioTo do this we need to divide the position of Program Specialist into two full-time
positions of Program Coordinator and Volunteer Coordinator. If this is not possible,

through the Council of Elders. This staff person was also responsible for coordinating 106 classes, 658
programs, and 191 services. The quality and quantity of programs and opportunities at the Senior Center
has created expectations on the part of the elderly community that cannot be met with the staffing now
available.

revenue amounts
include
the rate increase
for a

months.
212 _
DIVISION ANALYSIS:
Actual FY86 figures are difficult to project at this time due to pending changes. The Dubuque Street Ramp is
^+ to be expanded, there is the pending sale of the Library Parking Lot and the final report of the Parking Study
ji being conducted by Rich 8 Associates is not complete. Replacement of some of our old meters should result in a
` decrease in trouble calls. However, a similar number of meters will need to be rebuilt each year. This
j combined with the preventive maintenance program will result in fewer defective meters. Enforcement through
ticketing and towing is expected to remain high.

PROGRAM DIVISION STATEMENT
FUND: ENTERPRISE DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS
PROGRAM: PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT DIVISION: POLLUTION CONTROL
DIVISION PURPOSE:
The Pollution Control Division operates and maintains the Pollution Control Plant, 12 lift stations,
approximately 155 miles of sanitary sewers plus the storm sewer system and the stormwater detention basins.
DIVISION GOAL:
The goal of the Pollution Control Division is to provide a comprehensive program for the collection and
treatment of wastewater that will assure a safe and healthy environment for the citizens of this area.
GENERAL DIVISION OBJECTIVES:
1. To collect and treat all of the wastewater from the community without interruption except for wet
weather flows that exceed plant capacity.
2. Clean ten miles of sanitary sewers that have recurring problems.
3. Inspect all of the 30 identified problem spots at least once each week and remove any stoppages
observed.
NEW DIVISION OBJECTIVES:
�. To work with staff and consultants to provide input to the design of a collection and treatment system
upgrade.

DIVISION ANALYSIS:
1. FY83 flow below estimate due to very dry spell last quarter of fiscal year. Flow is presently esti-
mated to average about 9.5 M.G.D.
2. We were able to clean more sewers in FY82 due to fewer major repair requirements.
3. Routine checking of known problem areas has proven to be cost effective. We detect potential stoppages
before they become severe enough to flood basements.

I( EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL REQUEST
POLLUTION CONTROL 14210.0
jCOST: $1,500
j APPROVED FOR FUNDING: Yes
j DESCRIPTION:
t Purchase of a second toxic gas meter as a back-up to our existing meter when its battery is being charged
j or when it is sent back to the supplier for recli ration or repair.
! WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED? _
When the existing toxic gas meter is out of service for any reason, we have no way of monitoring for unsafe
conditions in lift station wet -wells and manholes. Some repair and maintenance projects can't wait until
the existing meter is back in working order. It takes two to four weeks to get it recalibrated or re- _
paired.
CITY MANAGER'S COMMENT:
The risks are too high for people to work where toxic gases may be. a

CITY OF IOWA CITY
FY86 OPERATING BUDGET
EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL REQUEST
WATER 14310.0
COST: $10,000
APPROVED FOR FUNDING: Yes
DESCRIPTION:
Additional funding to permit training of a new Water Superintendent prior to the retirement of the current
!�
Superintendent.
-
WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
The current Water Superintendent anticipates retirement near January 1986. It is desirable that a new
_
Water Superintendent receive training prior to the retirement of the incumbent due to the nature of the
water operations. To accomplish this the following will be done in FY86:
1. Following the retirement of the current Assistant Water Superintendent (on or before July 1985) the
position of Assistant Superintendent will be filled by a person qualified for promotion to the position
of Water Superintendent. This will require a higher salary level than budgeted for the position of
Assistant Water Superintendent.
,
2. Following the retirement of the Water Superintendent the trainee will be moved into the position of
Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendent position will be filled normally.
3. During the trainee period, the position of Senior Treatment Plant Operator will require a temporary
= i
salary increase because this position will assume many of the duties normally performed by the Assis-
tant Superintendent and will also assist in training this person in water plant operations.
CITY MANAGER'S COMMENT:
This is the best way to work the replacement of the Water Superintendent.

EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL REQUEST
! AIRPORT 04610.0
COST: $45,000
APPROVED FOR FUNDING: No
DESCRIPTION:
Aircraft Parking Ramp.
WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNOED?
Additional aircraft parking ramp is needed on the west side of the airport terminal building to accommodate
the increased use of the airport by corporate cabin class aircraft.
Because of increased use of the airport by corporate cabin class aircraft, the ramp is becoming very
J crowded with the larger type of aircraft and it is becoming a real safety issue.

DIVISION ANALYSIS:
Changes in City Council priorities, federal regulations, and cuts in federal and state funding, may neces-
sitate major revisions in our Transit program. In addition, Transit may find it difficult to meet ridership
demands due to limited resources.
Total ridership for FY86 is projected to remain stable. The revenue/expense ratio and the passengers per
revenue mile for these fiscal years are projected to remain stable in FY86. But the revenue/expense ratio is
projected to remain above the .40 level established by the City Council. Probable causes for this stability
in ridership are a larger number of student apartments in the downtown area; a larger number of people using
the downtown parking ramps; and a number of people moving into areas not presently served by ICT. Living
downtown allows students to either walk to class or walk to the transit interchange to use CAMBIIS.
The substantial increase in the average number of missed trips during FY84 is due primarily to the harshness
of winter as compared to FY83. The acduisition of new coaches and resulting availability of additional
spares should allow for a reduction in the average number of missed trips in FY85 and beyond.

DESCRIPTION:

WHY SHOULD.THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
Iowa City Transit has purchased a pre-employment selection tape from Seattle Metro. The size of the
Seattle tape is not compatible with present City equipment. In addition, this tape will be used at the
transit facility. Thus, it would be helpful to have a unit located at our facility.
This ESL will not cause an increase in authorized positions or salary cost.

WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
Iowa City Transit is planning to develop an educational program for sixth grade students in Iowa City. Many
of these students will use the bus system for the first time when they enter junior high school. This
program will help them become familiar with Iowa City Transit. This should assist us in building a future
constituency and help make it easier for these students to ride the bus for the first time.
This ESL will not cause an increase in authorized positions or salary costs.

APPROVED FOR FINDING: No
DESCRIPTION:
One portable radio
WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
At present. Iowa City Transit has only one extra portable radio. This radio must remain in the building
for the PM Operations Supervisor. The PH Operations Supervisor is alone in the building most of his shift.
Thus, if he needs to take care of business in other parts of the building, he needs to have the mobile
radio with him in case a driver.calls. This makes it difficult for the Manager to occasionally monitor
transit activities while not at work. This radio would be utilized to allow the Manager to monitor transit
during times away from the office.
This ESL will not cause an increase in authorized positions or salary cost.

only
Based on
previous experience approximately 55% of
the leases and Housing Assistance Program contracts
will be renewed. This does not necessarily mean the family leaves the program but merely changes units
which has
an effect on the work load. The number of terminations will average approximately 24 per.month
which means
those 24 units must be replaced with
new starts, if the program is to remain full. The
allocation of 25 additional units effective November
1, 1983 and the number of
new units constructed during
the past
year enabled us to increase our numbers
substantially during the
past fiscal year. We are
averaging
56 new applications per month, but we are having difficulty converting these to leases since a
J
number of
these are single handicapped or disabled
persons requiring one -bedroom units, and one bedroom
units to
serve this clientele are difficult to find
within the allowable fair
market rent. The additional
certificates received this year will alleviate some
problems in finding family
units, but will not resolve
the shortage of one -bedroom certificates for handicapped/elderly.

DEPARTMENT: ADMINISTRATION
PROGRAM: POLICY 8 ADMINISTRATION
DIVISION: EQUIPMENT
I i
DIVISION PURPOSE:
j
The Equipment Division provides repair, preventive maintenance, and
equipment management services for all
J
major city owned vehicular equipment.
DIVISION GOAL:
To provide the best possible preventive maintenance, repair, and equipment replacement programs so the City
may continue to receive the maximum economic life from its equipment.
GENERAL DIVISION OBJECTIVES:
1. Continue to switch medium duty truck fleet to diesel power, as they become due for replacement.
2. Replace light duty truck and automobile fleets with smaller more
fuel efficient units, as they become
due for replacement.
3. Maintain hourly labor rate at lowest possible level by maintaining or increasing efficiency. (Rate is
now i20/hr.)
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT:
duty truck
1. Gasoline powered medium duty trucks now average 3.8 m.p.g., diesel
powered medium now
averages 6.2 m.p.g. Continue to monitor fuel use and replacement
schedule.
2. Standard -size, pickup trucks now average 12.3 m.p.g. and compact -size pickup trucks average 18.6 m.p.g.
Continue to monitor replacement schedule.

`$.08/mile increase due to body work and refurbishing on some trucks to increase life cycle.
_
DIVISION ANALYSIS:
1. The increase in mileage (61%)
and the increase in the life cycle (10 years vs. 7 years) will save money
^
in the long run, even though
the initial purchase price of diesel powered medium
duty trucks is a
_.
little more than the gasoline
powered counterpart.
2. Money will be saved by purchasing smaller, more fuel efficient, lower initial cost
pickup trucks and
—
automobiles that can do the same amount of work as the larger ones.
3. The labor rate will be kept as low as possible by maintaining the equipment properly
and efficiently.
4. FY84 Police vehicle fuel use
and cost decreased from FY83 due to the Police fleet
being driven less
total miles (574.600 in FY83
and 545,300 in FY84), the cost of fuel being less
($1.01 per gallon
_
average in FY83 and $.90 per
gallon in FY84), and the Police fleet getting better
average miles per
gallon (12.6 m.p.g. in FY83 and 16.4 m.p.g. in FY84): FY85 and FY86 estimates are
based on FY84 and
include the addition of two
(2) patrol cars, a 5% increase in fuel cost, an increase in total miles
driven (two additional cars),
and maintaining the Police fleet miles per gallon at 16
m.p.g.

EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL REQUEST
CITY MANAGER/EQUIPMENT DIVISION 06220
i
_ COST: $72,968
One full-time Shop Supervisor (Transit) at a first year cost of $29,630,
One permanent full-time Parts Clerk at a first year cost of $18,338.
The proposed training program will not involve additional staff, $25,000.
- APPROVED FOR FUNDING: Yes.
J DESCRIPTION:
J This expanded service level will add one Shop Supervisor and one Parts Clerk in the Equipment Maintenance
Division.
This expanded service level will provide for an additional $25,000 in this budget for mechanics' training,
primarily in the area of transit coach maintenance.
WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
This expanded service level is necessary in order to effectively respond to increased needs in maintenance
and preventive maintenance of all City equipment, especially Mass Transit equipment, The number of transit
coaches has increased by approximately 50% in the past three years. In addition, the new Transit Mainte-
nance Facility includes a parts storage facility which must be operated and maintained. We are now
stocking parts for four different kinds of coaches (until two years ago there were only two different
kinds).
The additional Shop Supervisor will be responsible for the transit maintenance operation and will report to
the Equipment Superintendent, Because of increased maintenance activity in the Transit Department, it is
now necessary to operate this function in a manner similar to the remainder of the City equipment mainte-
nance operation.
$25,000 is proposed to cover the cost of training services which cannot be provided in-house. A greater
-I variety of Transit equipment, as well as more sophisticated electronic components in all vehicular equip-
ment, necessitates a more sophisticated training program for all mechanics, especially in transit mainte-
nance.
This expanded service level is based on recommendations made as a result of the recently completed transit
maintenance study,

coaches. ($79,900) _
2. Remodel shop office/breakroom area into larger area and enclose new area. ($15,750)
WHY SHOULD THIS EXPANDED SERVICE LEVEL BE FUNDED?
1. Air conditioning systems on the 17 oldest coaches need to be updated to make them more reliable and to
provide current level of service to transit riders. Operating costs on the older coaches will continue
to rise if something isn't done to the air conditioning systems.
2. Equipment services computer terminal and fuel monitoring microcomputer are now housed in a crowded,

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM i'()
I. INTROOOCTION
_ Capital improvement programming is the planning, coordination, and scheduling of public improvements
for a community over a period of years. The scheduling is developed according to priorities based
upon need, desire and importance of such improvements to the community within the constraints of the
City's ability to finance, as well as having the staff to design and administer the projects. Essen-
tially, the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a legislative and management tool to facilitate the
scheduling, planning and execution of a series of public improvements over a five year period.
The FY85-FY89 CIP is a compilation of projects currently in the CIP and new project requests. Although
most projects were placed into the proposed five year plan, a few projects have been placed on a
pending list. Those projects generally were viewed as having a low priority for funding at this time.
One exception is the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Although it was included on the pending list, it is
considered a high priority. However, because future actions are uncertain, it is impossible, at this
_! time, to estimate the cost or timing of the project.
II. FINANCING OF PROJECTS
' The financing of the projects included in the FY85-FY89 CIP is detailed on each project sheet.
Summaries of funding by sources appear in this front section. The City strives to secure and utilize
funds other than operating revenue and general obligation bonds to the maximum extent practical and
utilize general obligation debt within the parameters of the city's fiscal policy.
The graph at the end of this front section shows General Obligation (GO) Bond issues by year and the
issues proposed for the next five years, based on this Proposed CIP. The property tax supported GO
Bonds are more equal than issues in past years. The projects have been scheduled to achieve this
level use of GO Bonds. Furthermore, other sources of revenue are used wherever possible for funding
the projects.
III. FISCAL POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
A concept of sound financial planning is critical for the success of any program whether it be public
or private. As a result, the CIP is a determination of 1) the levels of capital projects and 2) the
sources of financing those projects. While determining the scheduling of projects for completion
within the next five years, it was necessary to deal with the City's financial resources limitations;
both those that have been established by State law and those that have been adopted as policy by the
City Council as a guide to future City expenditure and indebtedness. It is the later limitation to
which the City Council addressed itself in 1973 by the formal adoption of a fiscal policy that is
aimed at controlling and regulating the property tax level for debt service on General Obligation
y Bonds used to finance capital expenditures. The 1979 revised fiscal policy provides a more comprehen-
sive method of financing the many capital projects which the City needs. Adherence to this fiscal
policy can be expected to provide the following advantages:
317
I . Investors interested in City of Iowa City bonds can refer to a fiscal policy and rely on it in
making decisions on whether to buy obligations of the City and in determining the interest rates
that they will bid. A formally approved fiscal policy has a strong bearing on the City's ability
to maintain and improve upon the factors which determine its credit rating.
2. The proposed property tax levy for debt service, on which there is no state imposed maximum limit,
can be projected and regulated to either remain relatively stable or to increase at an even
controlled rate.
3. Planning for public improvements normally takes place over a period of years. Nearly always,
funds are spent for engineering and right-of-way prior to the years in which actual construction
takes place. The fiscal policy can establish amounts of money which will be spent for several
years in the future for the best public improvements facility planning and make it possible to
concentrate time and funds on those priority projects which can be financed and constructed within
the City's financial limitations.
4. A very significant advantage of a formal fiscal policy is to demonstrate the need for additional
revenue sources in future years by matching expenditures and indebtedness permitted by such 'a
fiscal policy against a much greater need for additional public improvements.
A copy of the City's Fiscal Policy follows.

FISCAL POLICY
ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENDITURES
{
1. BALANCED BUDGET:
The budget of the City of Iowa City shall be drawn so that
estimated revenues and anticipated expendi-
tures are equal. (State law requirement.)
I—
2. TAX CEILING:
^
The budget of the City of Iowa City shall be drawn so that tax revenue in the general operating fund
does not require a tax levy in excess of the limit established by State law.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
1. DEFINITION:
_
A. Capital Improvements - Capital items of a relatively
permanent nature, such as buildings, and
other attachments or improvements to land which are intended
to remain so attached such as storm
drains, sewers and streets. Capital improvements have
four characteristics:
(1) They last a long time.
2 They are relatively expensive.
(3) They usually don't recur annually.
(4) They result in fixed assets.
B. Capital Expenditures - Those expenditures for public
improvements and their preliminary studies
and the acquisitions of property or equipment for new
public improvements. Capital expenditures
are expenditures for capital improvements and shall
be financed under the provisions of this
fiscal policy and planned in terms of the five year Capital
Improvement Program. Excluded from
capital expenditures are operating expenditures; those
annual expenditures which are necessary to
the maintenance of the city, the rendering of services,
and providing for normal operation.
2. PROJECT ANALYSIS:
r.
Capital improvement projects for the five year period shall
be analyzed for the following:
�1
(1) Compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan.
319
i
(2) Revenue source - A clear distinction shall be made between tax supported and self -supported bonds
—
(G.O. versus revenue bonds). All projects supported by revenue bonds must demonstrate ability to
develop sufficient income to repay their costs and costs associated with financing. In addition,
proposed revenue sources shall be analyzed in terms of whether the revenue can be used for the
—
proposed project and the probability that the revenue will be available.
(3) Compatibility with the City Council's goals.
_
3. MAXIMUM LIMITATIONS ON GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS:
The following two maximum limitations shall apply to general obligation bonds:
A. Debt Limit:
Debt incurred as a general obligation of the City of Iowa City shall not exceed constitutional or
statutory limits: presently 5% of the market value of the taxable property within the corporate
limits as established by the City Assessor. (State law requirement.)
_
B. Borrowing Reserve:
-
A minimum of 20% borrowing reserve, or debt margin, shall be maintained to meet emergencies, and
—
if so used, the bonds shall be retired as soon as reasonably possible in accordance with the
provisions of this fiscal policy.
4. CEILING ON DEBT SERVICE:
V
Debt service charges payable from the general tax levy shall not exceed 25% of that levy in any one
fiscal year.
5. FINANCING:
As a general rule financing of capital improvements shall meet the following guidelines:
A. General property tax and operating revenues, to the extent available, shall be used for capital
project financing.
B. When general property tax and operating revenues are not available under the maximum tax rates
permitted by law or deemed advisable by the Council, financing of capital projects and replace-
_
ments may be accomplished by the use of bonds as outlined in Section 6 hereof.
—
C. Every effort shall be made to seek out state or federal grants or assistance to offset a portion
of the cost of capital projects.
320 36
6. BOND ISSUES:
A. General obligation bonds - Bonds shall be of a serial type and general obligations to the City of
Iowa City. They shall have a maximum maturity of 20 years. The maturity schedule shall provide
for level principal amortization payments insofar as practicable.
B. Revenue Bonds - Revenue bond financing shall be determined after first reviewing whether the use
of revenue bonds could be more advantageous than financing with general obligation bonds. Revenue
Bonds shall be issued in accordance with the following:
(1) Amortization of principal and interest shall require no more, including reserves, than
approved estimates will provide from next revenues to be available.
(2) Insofar as possible, debt service, after the project has been completed and in operation for
one full fiscal year, shall be level within practical constraints each year.
(3) All revenue bonds for public purposes shall be sold at public competitive bidding in accor-
dance with the requirements of Chapter 76, Code of Iowa as amended.
The first fiscal policy was adopted by motion of the City Council at its regular meeting on June 5, 1973.
This revised policy was adopted by Council motion on June 19, 1979.

BRADFORD DRIVE AND FIRST AVENUE SIGNALIZATION
REFERENCE: Map A it
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project will involve the installation of a two phase semi -actuated traffic controller with overlane
traffic indications and pedestrian indications. A traffic engineering study of the location has
revealed that the intersection meets the criteria of the Accident Experience Warrant as specified in the
Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Even though additional traffic may be attracted to Bradford
Drive from the neighborhoods east of First Avenue and motorists will experience additional delay, the
intersection will be safer.
Road Use Tax monies will fund this project.
FUTURE YEAR BUDGET IMPACTS
Electrical costs are estimated at $720 per year and maintenance costs at $300 per year.

BURLINGTON STREET PAVING REPAIR
REFERENCE: Map A /2
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project involves the removal and replacement of pavement which is extensively cracked on the block
between Capitol Street and Clinton Street. This block is a very heavily traveled street and replacement
of cracked and settled concrete pavement is required before further extensive damage occurs. If not
funded, the street will continue to deteriorate and may require more extensive repair in the future.
This project will be financed with General Obligation bonds.
FUTURE YEAR BUDGET IMPACTS
This project will reduce future maintenance costs.

RIDGE ROAD AND DUBUQUE STREET INTERSECTION
REFERENCE: Map A 13
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project involves relocating 900 feet of Dubuque Street, 20 feet west of its present alignment in
order to improve the right turn movement from Ridge Road onto Dubuque Street. This project is needed to
provide a safe turning movement for those motorists desiring to travel north from Ridge Road. If not

SCOTT BOULEVARD PAVING
REFERENCE: Map A !6
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project involves the paving of Scott Boulevard 31' in width from Court Street to Lower West Branch
Road and then to Rochester Avenue. Storm sewer facilities will also be installed. This project has
long-range benefits in providing a low -maintenance roadway from Highway 6 Bypass to Rochester Avenue.
When all the segments are intact it will provide a route significantly more attractive than the existing
facilities.
This project will be funded by General Obligation Bonds. As the project is planned, the City will pave
the road with the condition that the landowners give the rights-of-way to the City. This project would
qualify for Federal Aid to Urban Systems (FAUS) funds to partially fund it; however, this funding
requires rights-of-way to be purchased. To save time and casts of buying rights-of-way, the FAUS funds
may be put to better use on another project.
This project is included in the Comprehensive Plan and is consistent with.the trafficway design stan-
dards. It will provide a truck route and aid in moving traffic from the BDI industrial area to I-80.
FUTURE YEAR BUDGET IMPACTS
This project will reduce maintenance costs on the gravel portion of Scott Boulevard north of Court;
however, there will be increased pressure for future road improvement to I-80.

DUBUQUE STREET - IOWA AVENUE TO PARK ROAD
REFERENCE: Map A /12
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
—
This project is based upon widening the street from the current 41' to 45'. It will involve the removal
and replacement of existing pavement with portland cement concrete on Dubuque Street from Iowa Avenue to
Park Road. The storm sewer facilities will also be upgraded to meet the present standards. This
project is needed since the existing facility has deteriorated to such a degree that complete removal
I
and replacement is necessary.
j
_
Generally, Federal Aid to Urban Systems (FAUS) funding is only available for paving that is 49' wide and
won't be provided if the project is less than 45' wide. Nine trees on both sides of the street north of
the Church Street intersection would need to be removed to allow for the necessary widening of the
street. Funding is designated as FAUS 75% of construction and the rest from General Obligation Bonds.
Trafficway design standards in the Comprehensive Plan recommend pavement width between 31' and 49' on
i secondary arterials such as Dubuque Street.

high traffic areas be supplied with sidewalks. This project will be funded by CDBG monies. It was
approved by the CCN for the following locations:
7th Avenue Court - New on north side from 7th Avenue east to Creekside Park.
Muscatine Avenue - Repair/replace south side from Rundell Street east to 7th Avenue.
Muscatine Avenue - New on north side from Garden Street east to 5th Avenue.
This project is consistent with trafficways design standards of the Comprehensive Plan. This project
adheres to the policy approved by CCN and City Council of allocating CDBG funding to redevelopment
areas.
FUTURE YEAR BUDGET IMPACTS
This project will not necessitate the infusion of additional funding. The project will remedy existing
problems and postpone the need for any future funding for the next 10-15 years. It may require a
subsidy for snow removal for elderly residents.

NORTH DUBUQUE STREET SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
REFERENCE: Map B /30
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project involves the widening of the existing sidewalk located on the west side of Dubuque Street
between Kimball Road and Mayflower Apartments. The sidewalk is currently 4' wide and the proposed width
is 81. Due to the high rate of pedestrian traffic on Dubuque Street, north of Park Road which origi-
nates mainly from the Mayflower Apartments, the existing 4' wide sidewalk located on the west side of
Dubuque Street should be replaced with a wider facility.
The University of Iowa will contribute some of the construction costs; the City will fund the rest with
GO bonds.
This project is consistent with the trafficway design standards of providing sidewalks along streets.
The area served by the sidewalk is shown for development during Phase I and II of the Comprehensive plan
(1983-93).

PARCEL 065-2a (BLACKHAWK MINI -PARK REHABILITATION)
REFERENCE: Map C 033
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project is to repair and upgrade Parcel 065-2a. This site was developed to serve as a temporary
park in 1974. It is now in disrepair and is deteriorating. The quality of this site is no longer
comparable in any manner to the City Plaza. In order to link this site with the Plaza, the base soil
needs to be landscaped; in addition, water lines and sewer drains will be added. The cost also includes
adding furnishings like those in the City Plaza and constructing a stage.
Funding will be available from the sales proceeds of Parcel 64-1b and 65-2b. The proceeds from the sale
of Parcel 64-1b are sitting in CDBG funds.
Plans are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan directive to improve and maintain the downtown.
FUTURE YEAR BUDGET IMPACTS
Future maintenance, similar to the City Plaza, will be required. Improvements will provide additional
pedestrian space in the downtown.

This project involves channel widening, bank stabilization, culvert enlargement, and related interior
drainage improvements to increase stormwater carrying capacity of Ralston Creek from Court and Muscatine
to First Avenue. This project is designed to reduce flooding and the potential for loss or damage of
property in the creekside neighborhood. It implements another phase of the Ralston Creek Watershed
Management Plan.
Community Development Block Grant monies will fund land acquisition, design and 50% of construction. GO
Bonds will fund the other 50% of construction. Completion of the project is contingent upon CDBG
funding.
It is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Ralston Creek Watershed Management Plan. It implements
the Comprehensive Plan policy to 'preserve and protect stream channels and their headwaters.'
FUTURE YEAR BUDGET IMPACTS
It will require periodic maintenance by Public Works Department to ensure free-flow of creek. Long-term
benefits are in terms of stabilized property values, i.e. properties not being flood -prone.

POOL FACILITY
REFERENCE: Map C 036
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project involves replacing the existing City Park pool with a new pool facility. The existing pool
is 35 years old; the normal life of an outdoor pool is 25-30 years. At any time a major breakdown, such
as the collapse of the return pipe which is under the center of the pool or failure of the filter
system, could make it impractical to repair and reopen the pool.
FUTURE YEAR BUDGET IMPACTS
A more sophisticated pool facility would probably mean higher operating costs.

SCOTT PARK
REFERENCE: Map C f37
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The City will purchase a new neighborhood park, five acres west of Scott Boulevard, south of Village
Green South, north of the railroad tracks. This could be a dual use park. It can be used for a soccer
field and later a quiet neighborhood park.
Funding is proposed to come from the sales proceeds from Elm Grove Park and the Parkland Acquisition
Reserve. An alternative to funding is the use of mandatory park dedication which would generate 5.16
acres of neighborhood park and eliminate the need for the City to purchase the parkland.
FUTURE YEAR BUDGET IMPACTS

MERCER PARK DIAMOND MD. 4 LIGHTS
REFERENCE: Map C /38
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Replace inefficient incandescent lights with metal halide lights. The existing lights are 17 years old
and inefficient. Foot candle readings have dropped well below normal levels. The pay back in energy
costs will be approximately six years, based on the current rate (less if rates continue to go up).
FUTURE YEAR BUDGET IMPACTS
These lights cost less than the existing lights for electricity use. Mercer Park ballfield lights,
during the 1983 summer, consumed 15,680 kilowatts of electricity. During the same period in 1984 (after
the conversion to metal halide lights on Diamond fl, the consumption was 12,160 kilowatts. During the
course of that comparison year, there was an 18% increase in playing times. Despite the increase in
playing time, consumption decreased 22%.

BUS FLEET EXPANSION/REPLACEMENT
REFERENCE: Map C !39
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project provides for the acquisition and remanufacture of transit coaches to replace worn-out
equipment and to expand the fleet. The City's bus fleet currently includes 29 buses; 14 of these are
now 12 or more years old. Growing demand for transit service has meant that more buses are needed at
peak periods - additional vehicles should be acquired for this purpose.
Funding for buses is projected at 75% Federal Transit Assistance, 25% from Transit Replacement Reserve.
Currently, City policy encourages the use of mass transit, particularly for trips to the down-
town/University area. Only through a planned vehicle replacement program can we continue providing
quality service.
FUTURE YEAR BUDGET IMPACTS
As our present coaches get older, they are becoming more and more expensive to maintain. Replacing them
will reduce maintenance costs for each bus. However, buses added to the fleet will increase our total
operating costs.

Control facility located on Kirkwood Avenue is too small to humanly accommodate the number of animals
routinely housed there; it provides no isolation space for deceased animals and has inadequate facili-
ties for staff operations and public services. Some animal control activities, particularly the
impoundment of animals, may have to be curtailed or alternative facilities for housing acquired.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Space Needs Committee is working on plans to expand the Civic Center. It includes substantial
additions to the Fire Department, the Police Department and the office space. The expansion will allow
more room for the fire trucks, training space for the police officers and firefighters, and offices for
City departments that are.currently renting facilities. The project also intends to remodel the current
Civic Center. The remodeling and expansion will make the City offices totally accessible to handicapped
citizens.
General Obligation bonds can fund the project but they must be approved by citizens in an election. The
costs provide minimal purchases for office furnishings.
FUTURE YEAR BUDGET IMPACTS
A substantial increase in office space will raise the maintenance and operating costs of the Civic
Center. Expenses for the Davis Building will be zero.

MINUTES OF THE INFORMAL JOINT MEETING OF THE JOHNSON COUNTY BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS MID THE IONA CITY CITY COUNCIL, DECEMBER 20, 1904.
Ine.titute of Public Affairs Director Clayton Ringgenberg
called the joint meeting to order at 4:05 p.m. with the following
in attendance: Members of the Johnson County Board of
Supervisors: Chairperson Harold Donnelly, Betty Ockenfels, Don
Sehr, Dennis Langenberg and Dick 11yers; members of the Iowa City
City Council: Chairperson John McDonald, William Ambrisco, Ernest
tuber, George Strait, Larry Baker, and Kate Dickson. In addi-
tion, county employees in attendance were Board of Supervisors
Administrative Assistant Carol Peters, County Attorney J. Patrick
White, County Engineer O.J. Gode, Jr., and Auditor's Secretary
Edward Brunner; city employees in attendance were City Manager
Neal Berlin, Human Services Coordinator [Johnson County Council
on Governments] Cheryl Mintle, and City Clerk Marian Karr.
Ringgenberg outlined the overall purposes of this joint
meeting:
1. Update
A. On Activities of Joint Concern
B. On Joint Projects
2. Define and Discuss Issues of Joint Concern
3. Decide on S -lays to Deal with Individual Issues and Concerns
4. Get to Know Each Other Better
Ringgenberg said that past meetings had proved beneficial as per-
sons exchanged viewpoints on each others' positions. He urged
everyone to participate.
Donnelly suggested that the sign at the Senior Center in
Iowa City could more accurately read "Johnson County Iowa City
Senior Center." Berlin explained that prior to the meeting he
had tried to determine the cost of changing the sign, but he had
only received a rough estimate of several thousand dollars.
McDonald envisioned no problem in making a readjustment, espe-
cially since the Center was funded in part by the county.
McDonald asked Berlin to compile additional information for the
Council and the Supervisors.
Donnelly explained that SEATS busses had been ticketed for
parking in the loading zone at the Senior Center, and Berlin said
this problem had been resolved, adding that everyone needed to be
aware of the limited parking at the Senior Center. Dickson asked
if the problem of parking for volunteers had been resolved and
McDonald said it had been adjusted.

Donnelly inlruduced White who explained that the Handicapped
Evaluation Commillce had recommended that the Supervisors try to
establish a parking space for the handicapped in front of the
County Attorney's Office; he added that there were only four
parking spaces there presently. McDonald said he believed the
city could designate one as a parking space for the handicapped,
and Berlin said he would contact Traffic Engineer Jim Brachtel.

Gode explained that the Supervisors had been asked to make
improvements on Slothower Road, 958 of which is within city
limits, 5% of which is in the county. He added that the county
is interested in improving its segment of the road if the Council
wished to improve it also. By "improve," Gode said, he meant up-
grading to a gravel road. He noted that Secondary Roads equip-
ment could use the road as a gateway to the southwest corner of
the county. A portion of the road is oiled, and of the
unimproved segment, one-half mile is the city's, one-quarter mile
the county's. To improve the county portion would cost between
$5,000 and $7,000.
Strait asked if $15,000 to $20,000 would be the city's cost,
and Gode said that there were drainage structures also at the
city's end of the road. McDonald asked who was asking for the
improvement, and 11yers explained that travellers to and from
Rohret Road could use it to circumvent the city. McDonald asked
if the road would need widening, and Gode said right of way would
need to be acquired.
VcDonald agreed to have the council consider the project,
and Berlin said he would arrange for Public Works Director Chuck
Schmadeke to meet with Gode.
Baker raised the question of improving Local Road, and Sehr
said that plans to improve this road had at one time reached a
very late stage when the state had changed the basis of its
agreement in such a way as to require the county to take on en-
larged responsibilities for other roads, and that change had
obliged the county to withdraw from the plan. Myers pointed out
that Scott Boulevard was entirely within city limits; Baker said
that it was no use to extend Scott Boulevard if it could not be
used by trucks, and as long as Local Road remained in its present
deteriorated condition, trucks would avoid it.
nmbrisco said that the Scott Boulevard project had been un-
der discussion for twenty-five years; he said he was uncomfort-
able supporting the project unless Local Road was up to stan-
dards, and he noted that the entire extension of First Avenue
North was in effect stalemated by the poor condition of Local
Road, which he characterized as the key to all the projects.

My err said that the city has community and residential
growth planned for that area so that in the future, there was li-
able to be more of Local Road in the city. Ambrisco said the
worst chunk was from tile. city limits to the section line.
Ilyera proposed a joint delegation to the Iowa Department of

the only obstacle to the Scott Boulevard project, and Zuber said
that residents on either the west or east side of the Boulevard
would be affected once it is imwasproved, and therefore the project

as the number one stumbling block to future improvements in the
northeast of Iowa City, and he approved of Myers' suggestion for
a joint delegation to Iowa D.O.T. McDonald said that such an ap-
proach was worth a try.
Donnelly asked for the cost of the Scott Boulevard project,
and Zuber said it was not even in the budget until 1987 or 1988.
Ambrisco explained that the fears of Scott Boulevard residents
had been aroused by newspaper articles citing the amount of truck
traffic that would be funnelled through an improved Scott
Boulevard, but he noted that once I-380 was completed, at least
the west end traffic would be siphoned off in that route, and he
concluded that the figures for increased traffic had been
overestimated.
Baker asked .+'f Local Road would be improved east of the I-80
interchange, and Sehr said the county had only considered im-
provement

facilities, and Mc Donald said that the moratorium on development
there may be lifted this spring.
White suggested the alternative of placing Local Road in the
urban system and paying for its improvement with FAUS funds. He
added that the Johnson County Council on Governments can define
an urban area and decide whether to apply money from FAUS fund-
ing. Berlin said that one problem was that projects already
planned have drawn up FAUS money.
Strait raised a question about county improvements where
Sycamore crosses California, and Sehr said the county portion of
that area was in very good shape. McDonald said an underground
spring has caused the road to deteriorate.

With regard to park land, McDonald explained that the city
was still looking at alternatives, but no decision had been made,
though it was probable that in the near future some action might
be taken. Sehr asked if the new ground to protect the
Lq-

right-of-way at the airport could be used for parkland, and
Berlin said the size of this parcel would not meet recreation
I needs. Berlin added that Lhe city war interested in a good -size
piece of property because maintaining a number of facililiec was
costly.
Dickson noted that the discussion had focused on "separate"
land acquisition rather than "mutual," and Ringgenberg wondered
whether a joint city/county committee would be the best way to
investigate land acquisition. McDonald said there was nothing in
the works for the city and county to acquire park land jointly.
C. 6 Joint Permits for Oversized Loads
Langenbera explained that both the city and the county had
experienced problems with one person who moved oversized loads
within the city and the county. The county Zoning Administrator
had suggested that a dual permit system would help regulate
abuses.
Berlin said he would discuss this with the county attorney
and the city attorney. white suggested that an amendment to an
ordinance be considered; the county may ask the city not to issue
a permit unless the oversized load is being moved to property in
ian area properly zoned for it with all other necessary permits in
hand.
McDonald saw no problems at all in following through with
this proposal.
C. 7. Proppgs for Handling
Ou antina Parking Tickets
McDonald said he had talked to both the county Treasurer and
Clerk of Court, and he had visited Polk County to see the system
at work there. White asked the city for clarification: if the
county would not issue a motor vehicle registration until out-
standing parking fines in a specific amount were paid, would the
city be willing to pick up the expense of doing this?
Berlin said this project was still under discussion.
McDonald reported that Finance Director Rosemary Vitosh had said
that the city collected about 668 of their tickets, and that was
a high figure.
C Q Funding of Human Service Programse
Handling of Budget guests Ida de to the County_ and Gity
McDonald explained that neither the county nor the city had
a good handle on the budget requests of human service programs.
lie said he had discussed with Donnelly the possibility of having
the county and the city divide up the agencies for funding pur-
poses, so that some were exclusively city, others exclusively
county.

Ambrisco said that when businessmen were faced with shrink-
ing dollars, the strategy was not to look for alternate sources
of funding but to make the machinery more efficient; he noted
that governing through 99 counties was not a particularly effi-
cient way of operating.
Myers said that the presentations by human service agencies
had markedly improved over the years, but this may only indicate
that their directors had become more adept at making presenta-
tions. Dickson observed that the agencies had all been program-
med to approve of the other agencies, and she said that the city
and the county needed to combine forces and find shortcuts.
McDonald asked members to discuss the future of combining
human services in one facility; since a supporting grant had
failed to materialize, McDonald wanted to know if there was still
an active commitment to combine services. In answer to a ques-
tion from Donnelly, Mintle said that an examination of the point
breakdown for this grant had indicated that this project was un-
likely to be funded in the future.
McDonald said that at one time $250,000 had been committed
for this project, and while he did not view the facility as a
money -saving project, he noted that administrative costs keep in-
creasing. The benefit, he said, may not be saving dollars now
but a better handle on controlling administrative costs four or
five years from now.
Zuber said he wanted to see the cost of the joint facility
compared to possible savings. He predicted that no supervisor in
an agency would be willing to give up his or her job, even though
it was not necessary to have separate agencies for all services.
Ambrisco pointed out that all the agencies involved in the joint
facility had requested the same amount of space, or more space,
and lie pr,!dicted that not only would no money be saved by moving
into the joint facility but expansion would be encouraged.
Myers noted that some agencies were beginning to discuss
consolidation among themselves.
Strait said that without outside help, neither the city nor
the county could afford to build a joint facility. Donnelly

Sehr approved of avoiding the cost of rental, and he ap-

joint facility, but without outside dollars, he felt the project
was impossible. lie also noted that the bvllding had been projec-
ted to cost $1 millions how could it be built now for half that
cost?

McDonald expected it would be in June.
