At that time the plans were reviewed for compliance with the. Tree Ordinance and a parking design was provided. On June 12, 1978, a Certificate of Occupancy was issued to this structure accompanied by a letter of violation dated June 23, 1978, indicating that the struc- ture had met the Building Code however the Tree Ordinance had not yet been complied with. This letter of violation indicated he had until July 1, 1979, to provide the tree plantings. Attached to this memo- randum you will find a plot plan showing Lot 3 where Kirwin's has been erected and also showing the parking area for that building. As of this date the tree islands and trees have not yet been provided. On July 1, 1979, this property will be reinspected and this office will expect to see islands and trees as proposed in their parking layout.

Seydel, Housing Coordinator RE: HUD Allocation Plan Attached information provided for your information. Please note that the state has been divided into two major advertising areas, Metro and Non -Metro Counties. The allocation plan and advertising schedule reflect the number of units by program that Iowa City might seek. Those recommnded by the staff are as follows: 1. Section 8 Existing - Regular - This could be an extension of the present program. it is recommended that the Housing Authority submit an Application for 50 units. 10 one -bedroom, 35 two- bedroom, and 5 three-bedroom (45 family and 5 large family). The solicitation for Application for this program has been published and a copy is attached. Deadline for submission is March 1, 1979. A Resolution for your consideration will be submitted for consi- deration at the regular meeting scheduled for January 30, 1979. 2. Traditional Public Housing - New. This is the same program under which we are attempting to produce 48 units. Scheduled for adver- tising February 19, 1979, it is recanrnnded by the staff that the Housing Authority submit an application for 30 units. This appli- cation would be supportive of the Small Cities Grant now being con- sidered. it could be located within the same area and be utilized as a relocation resource. The application should contain provisions for 1, 2 & 3 bedroom units with a preponderance of l and 2. A Reso- lution authorizing the application will be submitted at the appro- priate time. 3. Traditional Public Housing - Rehab. A relatively new program. See brief description included. The process will be similar to #2 above and encompass purchase and rehabilitation of existing structures. The staff recommends submission of an application for 10 units in this program. Structures should be single-family hrnmes containing 3 or more bedrooms. Special meeting of Housing Commission scheduled for Thursday, January 18, is canceled due to lack of quorum. Housing Commission recanrendations will be forwarded when available.

This area includes all counties EXCEPT Black Hawk, Dubuque, Linn, Polk, Warren, Pottawattamie, Scott, and VZUry. Applications may be submitted by any State, county, municipality, or other guvernmental entity or public body (or agency or instrumentality thereof) which is authorized to engage or assist in the development or operation of housing for low-income families. The total number of units may not exceed 442 units at gross rents at or below the Fair Market Rents in the published schedule of Existing Housing Fair Market Rents. A project of 50 units has been determined to be the minimum size acceptable, unless it can be demon- strated a smaller project will be economically feasible and administratively efficient. An administrative fee calculated at 86 of the two-bedroom non -elevator existing Fair Market Rent or $15 per unit per month, whichever is greater, is allowed for each unit under Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) Contract. In addition, preliminary expenses are allowed for the cost of establishing the program and bringing into it the total number of families to be assisted. Applications must be received by 4:00 P.M. on March 1, 1979. Upon request, we will be pleased to provide you with copies of Form HUD - 52515, Application of Existing Housing, and the applicable program regula- tions, and also, to meet with you to assist in the preparation of your application. You may be aware that localities participating in the Commu- nity Development Block Grant Program are required to prepare Housing Assist- ance Plans with goals for laver -income housing assistance. A locality's goals must be related to identified housing conditions and needs, and must set forth a program of action to implement goals. The Housing Assistance Plans for the allocation area for which this invitation is issued specify the use of Section 8 Existing lousing to meet housing goals. Sincerely, Abn= C.

PETER HAYEK IOWA CITY. IOWA 52240 C. JOSEPH HOLLAND January 12, 1979 Senator Arthur Small, Jr. The Senate, State of Iowa State IIouse Des Moines, Iowa 50319 Dear Art: Thank you for your letter concerning cable television. Essentially, my feeling is that the state statutory framework for handling cable television is satisfactory, particularly given the ruling that I was able to obtain from the Iowa Supreme Court in Eastern Iowa Cable Vision vs. City of Iowa City. However, due to the fact that cable television is still relatively new in the state of Iowa there may be other problems that may come up from time to time. If the courts interpret the home rule powers of municipalities broadly enough to permit the municipalities to properly regulate cable television, I see no problems. If, on the other hand, a more restrictive view is taken then I would think that corrective legis- lation would be necessary. I have always felt that cities and towns in Iowa need to fight to expand municipal home rule powers through the courts as much as possible. I also think that there is a risk that requesting aid from the state legislature to legislatively alleviate problems that should not exist given broad home rule powers can have the unintended effect of eroding municipal home rule. Your offer to look at legislation in this area is very kind, Art, and I would certainly enjoy talking with you further about this whole business. however, as I indicated, I do not feel right now that there is any pressing need for additional legislation. I am taking the liberty of sending a copy of this letter to the Iowa City Council so that the T o I � M JAN i ; 1979 ABBIE STOLFUS, CMC CITY CLERK (3) 169 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110IIIES rdQ Council will be aware of your interest in this matter.

College 1 Iowa City, Iowa 52240 AGU1= 6iOLFUSCNIIC Dear Mary and Clemens: CITY CLERK (2) Since you were not able to attend the City Council budget session on January 10th and thus were not present for the Legal Department budget discussion, I am taking the liberty of sending you this letter summarizing my comments to the City Council concerning the budget. The following text is a summary of those comments. The budget submitted to you for the Legal Department is not my budget. It is the City Managers budget prepared, as I understand it, along Council guidelines. There are many areas in the budget in which I am in full agreement with the Manager. However, I believe very firmly that the salaries stated in the budget for the assistant city attorneys are very inadequate. In July of 1977, Bob Bowlin and Tony Kushnir were being paid $18,360. From July, 1977, to July, 1978, the dollar diminished in value 7.7 percent. They, Bob and Tony, would have needed $19,774 just to maintain the same buying power in July of 1978 that they enjoyed in July of 1977. The salary budgeted for them for July, 1978 was and is $19,464 - less than the amount needed to maintain only the same buying power as received in July of 1977. If we assume inflation at the same rate (7.7 percent) from July, 1978 to July, 1979 - the beginning of fiscal year 1980 - (a conservative estimate of inflation I believe) Bob Bowlin would need $21,296 to maintain the same buying power that he had in July of 1977. The City Manager, at your instruction, has budgeted him for a salary of $20,450 - $846 less than that needed to simply maintain the July, 1977 salary in real dollar terms. i I cannot recommend this to you, particularly with Bob's productivity being considerably better after two more years of legal experience. i i Ir MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIDEs 170 Mrs. Mary Neuhauser, Councilperson S Mr. Clemens Erdahl, Councilperson January 12, 1979 Page 2 I I Angela Ryan's situation is even less satisfactory.

I believe that Bob Bowlin should be paid beginning fiscal annual salary of $21,500 and that Angela Ryan should be same point an annual salaryYear 1980 an of $20,500. Paid at that The problem that I have outlined above is not limited to Legal Department employees. According to a memorandum entitled Compensation Trends" prepared by the Finance Director and dated January 10, 1979 (I do not believe a copy of this memorandum has been distributed to the Council Yet) the Consumer Price index increased 15 percent from July 1, July 1, 1978. During this same two year period in which the dol1976 to diminshed in value by 15 percent the folar llowing occurred with respect to increases of salaries of City employees by category: Employee Category Two Year AFSCME Employees Police Bargaining Unit Employees Fire Bargaining Unit Employees Administrative Employees Police Management Employees Fire Management Employees 17-23 percent 20-35 percent 23 percent 13-15 percent 13-16 percent 13 percent MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140IRES t Mrs. Mary Neuhauser, Councilperson Mr. Clemens Erdahl, Councilperson January 12, I979 Page 3 Among other things, I believe that two very significant observations can be made about the above figures: I. Many management employees' salaries have not kept up with inflation. They are being paid less in real terms after two years than they were at the beginning of that two year period. 2. The differential between management and line employees is diminishing significantly. Although one can argue from a public policy standpoint that the difference between management and line employees should be diminishing, I do not believe that this has occurred as a result of conscious design by the Council. Rather, I believe that what has happened is that the City Council has found it all too easy to take care of the unionized employees (the wheel that squeaks principle) and not your middle and upper level management people. I am very concerned about this as it relates to the impact on the City generally and on the Legal Department in particular. I have attempted to build a professional and highly competent service oriented legal department. We need this type of legal department to handle the significant responsibilities placed upon us. It takes years to replace the experience and competence lost when we lose an experienced attorney. The same is no doubt also true of experienced management people. Unless Angela, Bob or any other employee for the City of Iowa City can see a chance for advancement and receive reasonable increases in compen- sation, they will leave, or at least the good ones will. We will then be compelled to handle the public's business with a young and inexperienced staff suffering constantly from high turnover. I beliuve that you need to give these matters your attention and to do it soon. I am hese timvaknatcomments sh"tlrlieitisowiert'sbudge.HoweerImalso notafraidtoelk"thespect to other City employees. Management employees should not be penalized because they are not represented by a union. No one has asked me to make these comments to you. I have made this "speech" without seeking the approval of the City Manager or anyone else in the administration.

Copies to: Don Sehr Aeal Berlin James Stehbens Mich Michael Kattchee Richard Gibson 6 I .The Iowa City -Johnson County area needs some immediate help and advice from Your office relative to our long standing effort to be designated as a Stan- dard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA). Our need stems from recent proposed changes in criteria for defining SMSA's for use in the 1980 Census. The cri- teria were published in the Federal Register of November 29, 1978 and were developed by the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards of the U. S. Department of Commerce. The attached chart prepared by our staff summarizes the existing and the pro- posed criteria. Our major concern is with the proposal to increase the county (or total SMSA) minimum population from 75,000 to 100,000. Johnson County population, as of the 1974 Special Census, was 75,025. We estimate that it Will be approximately 80,000 by 1980- It will be many years, if ever, before the 100,000 figure is reached. The change is particularly frustrating for our area in that we now feel that the chances of obtaining SMSA status after the 1980 census under the existing criteria are very good by using Option (a) Central City, or Option (b) Ur- banized Area. Iowa City's population in 1974 was 47,744, however, the city in preparing its new Comprehensive Plan estimated its population at approximately 51,000. In addition, by using Option (b) Urbanized Area the Iowa City and Uni- v0r::ity Heights population could Le combined and bhuuld exceed the 50,000 population standard (their 1974 combined population was 48,925). We obviously would like to see the proposed criteria changed to keep the county or total SMSA population requirement at 75,000. It appears that there has not been much opposition to the proposed criteria to date. A public hearing was held in Washington on December 15, 1978 at which there was apparently no signifi- cant opposition. Another hearing is scheduled for January 26, 1979, after which time the Department of Commerce will likely move to adopt the new criteria. We believe that there are arguments to be made against the criteria as proposed and we are preparing a letter on this matter. It is our understanding, in talking MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 2 with Ms. Suzann Evinger of the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, that the new criteria would not actually be put into effect until the 1980 U. S. Census is initiated. In other words, the existing criteria j would still be in effect during 1979. This appears to leave open an oppor- tunity for our area to obtain designation during 1979. It is also our under- standing that if an area has obtained designation as an SMSA it will continue Census. to retain that status even if it fails to meet the new criteria after the 1980 It appears that there may be two possible routes we could explore, which are: (1) Conduct a Special Census. Mr. George Hurn of the Office of Special Census, U.S. Census Bureau, advises that a census could be conducted this year but would need to be completed by July 1. A contract must be executed by March 1, 1979. The cost must be born by the local area. 0 a. Will a Special Census, if the minimum population is obtained, achieve SMSA designation for our area? We would need written confirmation from the appropriate federal official on this point. b. If we are designated, would the area retain the designation after the 1980 Census? If so, how long? It is our understand- ing that once designation is achieved it continues on. C- Would the entire county need to be surveyed in the Census or Just the urbanized area? d. What is the cost of a Special Census? (Z) A second option that may be available concerns the deannexation of some rural land by one of the communities in the urbanized area. The Iowa City area would have achieved designation after the 1974 Special Census except for the fact that one of the communities had a population density of less than 1,000 per square mile. (The actual Population of Wiv urhani.zej :trna in 1974 was 55,530.) a a. Would the area be certified as an SMSA if land was deannexed, thus fulfilling the population density requirement? b. Would a Special Census be required along with deannexation pro- cedures? If required, could it be limited to the affected community? MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES t10IRES 3. I believe this briefly summarizes our concerns and interests. We would like to have the proposed criteria changed to keep the 75,000 minimum population figure for the total SMSA. If that is not possible, however, then we want to explore the feasibility of the other two options (Special Census and deannexa- tion) but we need some answers and assurances from federal. officials as soon j as possible before we can proceed. Any help your office can provide will be greatly appreciated. I Representatives from the area would be available to attend meetings in Washington to discuss these items in more detail should that be necessary. Please let me know if you have any questions on the preceding or if you have 1 need of additional information.

In spirit and in fact, it very much is an island — 1,200 middle- and upper middle -in. come souls completely sur. rounded by Iowa City who have successfully resisted being an. nexed to the latter for decades, sail probably will continue tddo so well Into the future. Trouble Is; Iowa City's controllers have trouble accepting this fact, which rests upon an even simpler prem. Ise: if you've got the bucks, you don't have to rely on the good graces of others. University Heights, though lacking Industry, is to some de- gree self-sufficient because its per capita wealth is quite high. - At one time, it depended heavily on Iowa City for many services —firefighting, pol:ce protection, water supply, sanitation, and bus transportation. But when Iowa City raised the rate:; on municl. pal services to University Heights, the little community de. cided to take Its business else. where. It negotiated with Coralville for access to the latter's voluo- teerfire department and strucWa deal with a private firm for secu. rity service, complete with one shot '90"" Q,_ 19"? or two Volkswagen Rabbits as patrol cars. After learning Its In- surance rates would rise with the Coralvllle arrangement, Univer. ally Heights now plans to start its own volunteer fire depart- ment. All this riles Iowa City, with. out much It can do to change the situation. The judgment is that if University Heights wants any specific municipal service, it must buy all such services as a package deal. But of course this F'F•4 �i 7 Gazeffe editorial Is not the case. University Heights doesn't have to do any- thing it doesn't want to do, and Iowa City would be In trouble if it decided to block water and sewer lines serving the sister community. Likewise, it would be on solid legal ground but In ethical hot water If it denied University Heights access to municipal serv. Ices of any sort during an emer- gency. Iowa City's council mem. bers are aware of this. Though they recently voted not to assist University Heights during a civil MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES F401REs crisis or natural disaster, they privately conceded afterward that Iowa City would not with. hold help during an emergency. The vote was simply lip service ::o disappointment over losing University Heights as a cus- tomer. Silly? Wait, there's more: In retaliation against University Heights'declaration oflndepend- ence, Iowa City refused to let its neighbor's residents ride Iowa City buses, even though bus routes go right through the Heights. In' other words, it's OK to use University Heights prop- erty for bus lines, but not OK when the Heights wants to use Iowa City property while It's within corporate limits. University Heights subse. quently wrote to Iowa City Man. ager Neal Berlin, asking for the right to use city buses. Mr. Berlin said the matter will be discussed later this month during budget meetings. Is there any question as to what the decision should be? There may, of course, be some question as to what the decision will be. The administration might fust decide to do the sym. bolic thing — say no, but mean yes. /7y Johnson c%',- -inty regional planning commission C) J 2 %2 south dubuque street, iowo city, iowe 52240 1319) 351.8556Lobel Turner c,, 'December 27, 1978 Emil L Brandt E.ttu„w DwK City of Iowa City Civic Center Iowa City, IA 52240 ATTENTION: Neal Berlin, City Manager Dear Mr. Berlin: Enclosed for review and consideration by you and your city council members are Program and Budget materials of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission. The Budget was accepted by the Commission at its December 13, 1978 meeting for forwarding to member agencies for their information and review. The Commission will officially adopt a budget and work program this spring after local governments have had ample time to consider it. A brief informational report is included in the materials which describes the program/service areas of the Commission, the communities served by the Program, and the accomplishments that were realized during fiscal 1978. The Proposed work program for F,Y, 1980 is also included. The Proposed budget for fiscal year 1980 (July 1, 1979 - June 30, quests a six percent increase in the as1980) re- sessment total to member agencies. The impact for individual members varies from the six percent figure, how- ever, because our members were not all paying an equal per capita assessment rate. The Executive Board felt that this needed to be corrected. Also several small cities rejoined the Commission this year at an introductory charge of $200.00 which was not intended to extend beyond the initial year. The new rate reflects an equal per capita assessemni. An additional small urban assessment has been charged on a population percentage basis. The amount requested from the City of Iowa City for F.Y. 1980 is $68,195. Please let me know if you or your council have any questions on any of these items or if you would like to meet with me or Emil Brandt, our Executive Director.

In fact residents of Johnson County have already been served. The Department of Social Services is currently assisting in funding with this agency. As this is new information which is relevant to the block grant and human service funding proposals, you may wish to review the attached memorandum from Linda Schreiber. . bdw City of Iowa CV ► - .MEMORANDUM Date: January 12, 1979 To: Neal Berlin, City Manager From: Linda Schreiber Re: Spouse Abuse The Women's Emergency Shelter, 363-2093, has been operating since November, 1978. Its funding is from two sources: a $14,000(+) grant from the State Department of Social Services and a $48,000 grant from the Hull Foundation in Linn County. The $62,000 budget will expire October of this year. There is some state legislative support for continued funding. The center has not been operating long enough to determine its capacity. Currently four women and six children are living at the Shelter. The center's grant was written to serve a six county area: Linn, Johnson, Cedar, Jones, Benton and Iowa. The center's director, Martha Gardner, stated the center has served seven persons from Johnson County in the last two and a half years. Working relationships and communications with Johnson County need to be further developed for the center to be of greater assistance to us. As of yet the State has not developed a licensing procedure, but the center has letters of support from the Department of Social Services, Mental Health Center, etc. The center is connected with the YWCA (where shelter was obtained before the center opened) so residents can use the Y's facilities. The center's five member staff includes a licensed psychologist. The Shelter is open 24 hours a day. Arrangements have been made in Linn County with law enforcement officials to transport women and children to the Shelter. Other arrangements with human service agencies have been developed to provide service to residents at the Shelter, i.e. Department of Social Services sends staff to visit Shelter for income maintenance. Women residing at the Shelter are not isolated, however, security measures are taken. Any woman of adult legal status who is abused may be temporarily admitted to the center. A complete admittance policy is being forwarded to us as well as other material. I will be happy to follow-up if you would like further information. bdw5/8-9 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES I40111ES i ® johnson ounty I regional planning commission Go@®• -q21/2 soul), dubuque street• i010 city, iowa 52240 (319)351-8556 January 19, 1979 MEMO TO: Iowa City City Council FROM: Pam Ramser, Human Services RE: Proposed Human Services Support Program FY 180 Isobel Turner cmirwa Emil L, Brandt 6eWtw M,mw The proposal for a Human Services Support Program will be presented to the Council at the Wednesday, January 24th budget hearing.

Berlin, City Manager Re: Aid to Agencies Funding The Council is scheduled to discuss agency funding January 24 at 8 P.M. Included with this packet are copies of agencies' budget requests for FY80 and funding breakdowns by funding source for FY79. Agency directors were not asked to make formal presentations at this Council meeting since presentations were made at the joint hearings held this summer. Directors have been.reminded of the meeting and will be present to answer questions that the Council might have. This fall some elected officials indicated a desire to make joint funding allocations for FY80. However, FY80 funding requests to Johnson County are not available from the Auditor's Office until after January 20. Hopefully, this information will be available for you at the meeting on January 24. Therefore, I would suggest that the Council discuss and set "tentative allocations" on January 24. This information can then be shared with the Board of Supervisors. After the Board's funding dis- cussions and allocations have been made, the Council may review the County's information and set "final allocations" before the City's budget is certified on March 15. cc: Mel Jones Rosemary Vitosh Linda Schreiber jm4/15 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES I /78 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB f EOnP PAPIns. q ..,,I If ,
