Tape Recorded: Reel 85-C73, Side 1, 279 -End, Side 2, All; Reel 85-C76, Side T—I2.4 Civil Defense Reel 85-C73, Side 1 Johnson County Civil Defense Director Pat McCarney explained that Johnson County is a host county shelter because Johnson County is part of a host risk area as it relates to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's certification of the Duane Arnold plant. There are seven surrounding counties that are classified as host areas. McCarney noted that the Duane Arnold facility has hired a consultant to write guidelines. McCarney stated an in service training will be held for Johnson County on October 24 and he will meet with federal inspectors October 28. Representatives from the Iowa City Fire Department, Police Department, Red Cross, Johnson County Sheriff's Office, social welfare departments and amateur radio organizations plan to attend the in service training. McCarney explained that if the Duane Arnold plant has a disaster, Duane Arnold would first notify the State Disaster Service, the State Disaster Service would then notify the Civil Defense Coordinator and the Governor would declare an emergency to enable the National Guard's participation. Iowa City's City Manager, Assistant City Manager and Legal Department would be involved with the Civil Defense Board in making disaster f decisions. McCarney reviewed civil defense operations in Johnson County. He stated that Johnson County does not have the storages of resources and the federal government will not offer assistance until all resources within Johnson County are depleted. Iowa City does have a package disaster hospital including medical equipment and 250 folding cots in storage at the Johnson County secondary roads facility. McCarney stated that there are problems with obtaining enough toilet facili- ties during a major disaster. McCarney stated a report is being prepared about local building locations and toilet facilities within Johnson County. McCarney stated that utility companies are responsible and insured for costs associated from disasters created by the utility company but a method for payment of bills still needs to be worked out. McCarney said that there no longer is a contingency fund to help with disaster bill payments. In response to McDonald, McCarney stated that the County has not passed an ordinance requiring reimbursement for disaster expenses. McCarney reported that the civil defense depends upon volunteer and profes- sional help within the community including local fire department, police department, sheriff's department, university, university helicopter, Johnson S 36 2 County ambulance, amateur radio group, Salvation Army, Red Cross and area volunteer firemen. A major concern is that the county provides somebody to protect areas that would need to be evacuated and provide transportation to hospitals. Mc Carney explained that food preparation during a disaster would be done by the school system. McCarney said the Johnson County Civil Defense obtained funds to purchase a rescue van and that there exist seven rescue boats in Johnson County. Personnel Study Reel 85-C73, Side 2 Berlin stated the personnel study compared the City administrative and confidential employee fringe benefits and salaries with other Iowa cities, the University of Iowa and private businesses. Results of the study deter- mined Iowa City was, overall, consistent with the comparisons. Berlin noted that some comparisons were difficult to make because some of the other city department functions were not similar to Iowa City's and information was only used in areas where there could be meaningful comparisons. In response to Zuber, Carroll stated that the number of police officers per capita statistics did not include the University of Iowa security. Berlin explained that the University of Iowa security was not included because the number of residents in Iowa City only includes those students that legally reside in Iowa City. Zuber raised concerns about the accuracy of the population figure. Berlin stated that there are always statistical problems in these types of studies. Berlin stated that Iowa City does compete with other cities in the mid -west when the City employs people. Zuber inquired about the confidential and administrative City employee comparisons with the University. Berlin said the survey on fringe benefits for administrative employees was used because there are only seven confiden- tial employees and 70 administrative employees employed by Iowa City. Berlin noted that Iowa City has a policy to bring confidential and clerical employee salaries up to fair pay for work the people are doing. Zuber said that life insurance comparisons, disability health and employee assistance information should be checked for accuracy. Berlin stated that staff will review that specific information. Baker stated that the personnel study should include actual figures, i.e. the number of employees, salary range, etc., not just percentages. In response to Baker, Berlin stated the City em loys 440 people. Baker asked about salary disadvantages. Berlin stated that the Parks and Recreation Department and Fire Chief are examples of problems with competing as it relates to salaries. Carroll said there is a problem with hiring administrative employees at the mid -point range because the new employees are hired at higher salaries than other current employees. Z -3d; 3 y; .
