The existing City ordinance pertaining to refuse pick-up should be amended now that condominiums and various other development schemes are becoming a reality. The existing ordinance provides that the City shall collect all solid waste resulting from the operation and maintenance of four or fewer dwelling units. Therefore, as an example, a five-plex owned and operated by a single entity does not receive City solid waste collection service, whereas, a five unit condominium building does. Public Works recommends that the City not pick up refuse from any aggregation of more than four apartment, townhouse, condominium, or cooperative dwelling units on one lot, or on contiguous lots. The reason for this is that it is much cleaner and easier to pick up refuse from multi -unit facilities by mechanical means than by hand. The ordinance revision also prohibits the placement of commercial solid waste containers (e.g. dumpsters) in front of a building or within 50 feet of a street right-of-way. bdwl/3 4075- n RECEIVE 5 . _.i Z 1934 CITY CLERIC 2431 Crestview Ave. Iowa City, IA 52240 October 19, 1984 City Council Civic Center 410 C. Washington St. Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Sirs: In view of the decisions surrounding the Iowa City airport, I would strongly urge the City Council to consider the following as the most critical issue: the noise problem. While there are many private interests at stake concerning the airport, it seems to me that the City Council's main responsibility is to the entire community and to the public interest. The present noise level and frequency of airplanes flying over my house is disturbing. Give years ago I was not even aware that Iowa City had an airport; now I cannot sleep with my windows open if I don't want to be awakened by low-flying planes. Especially frustrating is the fact that this noise cannot be escaped; it can be heard anywhere in the city. Iowa City is a wonderful place to live --it is clean, quiet, relatively crime -free, and has many cultural opportunities. Yet I fear that one of these important qualities is in danger of erosion, and I can only trust that the City Council will continue to dedicate itself to preserving Iowa City's quality of life. Sincerely, ao�� 1 1512 Derwen Qrive Iowa City, Iowa 52240 October 22, 1984 Honorable Mayor, City Manager and Members of the City Council 410 East Washington Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Ladies and Gentlemen: May we once again take the liberty to present our concern for the rezoning of our property at 209 Myrtle Avenue for your justifiable consider- ation. ' First, we would like to express our gratitude to you and your staff of the Department of Planning and Program Development for showing concern in our situation. We appreciate the suggestion of rezoning our property to be a transitional zone as a compromise. However, the rejection of our second i application recommended by the Zoning Commission really shocked us. We are very much afraid that discrimination and negligence of human rights might be intensified through special privileges of certain groups for their satisfac- tion. our second application, in fact, was revised in an extremely compromis- ing manner. Instead of requesting for the rezoning of RM -44 which was granted to all our adjacent neighbors at their requests, we only applied for a RM -22 permit. We had earnestly hoped that the drastic reduction of building units from the original request will earn an approval to somewhat compensate our great losses. We just cannot understand why the Zoning Commission acted as such towards us. In the first place, they should consider the devaluation of a valuable property when they rezoned the property to the.east and south sides of our lots. If it is absolutely necessary to develop this area into a high density dwelling for the purpose of solving the local housing problem, we would not complain by ail means. But our property is in the same parcel with those of our neighbors granted with multiple apartment complex, and not with those of the west side. Why was our property singled out? Even for a transitional zone was denied and let the valuable land qualified for multiple apartment complex wasted. If the rejection is because the Commission considered the interest of our neighbors, then why don't they consider ours as well? The Commission members should be aware of the situation of this area. The value of their property will not be decreased if our lot is rezoned. The property of our northwest is a vacant lot and any type of structure can be built there. The properties to our southwest are adjacent to an RM -44 multiple complex zone which has been rezoned from a RiB. We wonder how could this area has been rezoned while our requeste was denied. Page i October 22, 1964 Our property has been greatly devalued because the South and the east sides adjacent to our lots were rezoned. On the east side, a big narrow apartment complex was built less than 10 feet immediately adjacent to our property with a row of air conditioners along our lot cousing a continous nuisance to the people there. On the south side of our property, digging was allowed into our yard for the construction of a multiple complex. This resulted a change of the elevation of this entire area and isolation of our second lot. Thus, our property is t.o longer suitable even for a six-plex dwelling. If denial of our application is due to the consideration of the problem of heavy traffic, we wonder why twe commission rezoned such a large area around our property? There has been a great number of apartments built next to our home and the' will be more apartments built because there are still so many lots available there. We do not think that an addition of nine units in a transitional zone would contribute to the traffic problem which already exists. In view of the fact, we have to come to the conclusion that this discrepancy might be due to discrimination which should not be encourged. As professors of the University of Iowa and long time residents of Iowa City, we have been attached to the city. We want to see it growing and developing into a model city with modern facilities and traditional good cultures, We respect the administrators of our city and would like to cooperate with the citys policies. Sometimes,we even overlook our own right for the benefit of the city and its comimnity. we are very proud of the great contributions made by the Planning and Zoning staff. However, we have heard many stories concerned with the Rezoning Commission. We feel our case may reflect all others which need your attention. We appreciate the funds granted by our federal government for the development of Iowa City but we dont think that it is the federal government intention to create more discriminatory cases.

We live at 1104 Brookwood Dr. Our houses face Hwy. 6 from the the north, we are located on the north side of Brookwood Dr. and across street is city property and a ditch. Over the past few years the traffic has seemed to increase and the noise problem with it. The traffic coming from Taylor Drive has increased due to the substantial housing growth in that area, and more people are squealing tires coming up Taylor onto Hwy. 6. Also we feel that the housing growth on the southeast side of Iowa City •�i has caused a large increase in traffic along Hwy. 6. It is to the point that we can't really be comfortable with our windows open because of the ear that an accident noise and each time we hear tires squeal we have the f has just occured. We cannot hear the T.V. or radio and even worse the traffic is affecting our ability to get a defcent nights sleep if we have our windows open.

While I am sure that such noise is disruptive, the only effective sound barrier would be large barrier walls. I am doubtful that this solution would be acceptable to either the City or your neighbors. Plantings provide only slight relief.

Dear Council Members: I am enclosing some photographs of the landscaping in front of our build- ing at 335 South Clinton Street. Since this berm and trees have been installed, the area has been a constant source of problems for us. Trash collects daily in the tall plants. The vegetation grows out over the sidewalks, narrowing it and making it difficult to clear the snow. The trees have sucker growth that is allowed to accumulate. In general, the whole area looks unkept. I have complained and on occasion the City will send someone over to clean up the mess. It then quickly reverts to the unkept look again. I request that the City remove the berm and sod the area so that we can properly maintain it as we did previously. ag Cin Strect n Iowa City, Iowa 52240 u OCT 3 01984 MARIAN K.

CITY (319) 356-5000 the berm at 335 and acknowledged of November 6, The City is in the process of appointing a committee to review the current method and level of maintenance of all areas which are a part of the City's streetscape program. My intent is to determine the effectiveness of the current program and to ultimately make recommendations to Council for improving the quality of maintenance. I am sensitive to your situation and I agree that this berm, as well as some other streetscaped areas, can be better maintained. If it is your desire that the berm be removed, regardless of the level of maintenance, there may be other options. For example, the City has worked with property owners and representatives from Project GREEN to determine suitable alternatives to existing landscape conditions. The City has removed landscape features which have then been replaced by other landscaping by Project GREEN in a manner suitable to the property owner. The property owner has made a contribution to Project GREEN to pay for the new landscaping. Through this process the adjacent property owner develops a long-term commitment to the improvement. This alternative may be more consistent with your needs. The City and Project GREEN would be pleased to cooperate with you in this endeavor. In any event, I assure you that my intention is to maintenance, a program which would result in more improved appearance of the area in question.

Recognition of communication problems of the handi- capped, particularly the deaf, has.been long overdue. Therefore, I congratulate you for taking this corrective action. While the use of theca telephones will be limited at first, there will be great comfort to the Deaf Community in knowdng they are available. I am sure that the hearing augmentation system and other side for the handicapped will be put to good use also. The old Capitol Kiwanis Club of Iowa City (of which I am a member) recently purchased a T1DD for the Crisis Center to serve as a message center for the Deaf Com- munity. We are now exploring ways to furnish a pri- vate telephone line to that devise in conjunction with some other service clubs. I am particularly gratified to know that the TDD at the Police Station is installed on a private line and will thus avoid some of the problems that have ocoured at the Crisis Center. Making our community a better place to live is an ongoing task, and Kiwanis is glad to help. 4cnlyd yours , iCapi`�o'1\1TIclKiwaxnis Club 83 Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Im 6) ;1Y AW / IA �/wn C —# October 29, 1984 501h if iwwiw...o,p,�ccamlvcr 13. 1970 RECEIVED OCT 3 1 1984 Mayor John McDonald and City of Iowa City Civic Center 410 East Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mayor McDonald: 9, 0.

Those of us who have been involved with ICCT over the years have con- sistently viewed it very much as a community institution, drawing its support and participation from every sector of the community. Not only that, but the Theatre has developed a loyal clientele from surrounding communities. Recently our shows have been viewed annually by over 20,000 persons and over 90% of our annual budget of approximately $150,000 is spent in this community. In the past several years, however, we have begun to face problems similar to those of other volunteer organizations. While there continues to be an ample pool of talented persons who wish to act in and direct our shows, we have been faced with a reduction in the number of volunteers who are available to provide the many technical and support services required to produce quality theatre. To meet these needs the Board currently employs one full-time and three part-time staff persons (very modest in comparison to other community theatres in the area). However, this added burden is creating budget difficulties for us. I am writing to ask if it would be possible for me and some of nV col- leagues to meet with appropriate City officials to see if there is a possibility for the City to provide some modest financial support to ICCT. While we have managed without outside support for 29 years, it is extremely doubtful that we can continue without it for another 29 years. It is my conviction that the community would lose an important asset if ICCT should be forced to close its doors. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, D.

IOWA CITY, IOWA 52240 (319)3,56-500D November 2, 1984 Terry Powell, Chair University of Iowa Human Rights Committee 210 Iowa Memorial Union University of Iowa Iowa City, Iowa 52242 Dear Mr. Powell: At our regularly scheduled meeting held October 29, 1984, it was brought to our attention that the current University of Iowa human rights policy does not specifically list sexual preference as a protected class and that you now have a complaint requesting its inclusion in the policy. As a sister commission with goals and concerns similar to yours, we urge you to make this change. The Iowa City's non-discrimination ordinance has included sexual orientation as a protected class for a number of years in the areas of employment, public accommo- dations and credit. This protection was recently extended to the area of housing as well. This change was a step forward in recognizing that without explicit protection in the ordinance gay men and lesbians do not have adequate legal recourse if they are discriminated against. The staff for the Iowa City Human Rights Commission has received calls from individuals who feel they have been discriminated against because of their sexual orientation. These individuals are assisted either with filing a complaint or the complaint is informally resolved. University employees and residents are outside the Commission's jurisdiction and if their complaint has to do with sexual orientation, they are not covered by University policy, and therefore these individuals are totally unprotected from discrimination in this area. Civil rights is a constantly evolving domain and we need to continue to adapt our definitions and responses as our awareness of civil rights changes. In the interest of providing a unified and forward -thinking body of policies that will offer adequate protection to all of Iowa City's citizens, we strongly urge you to adapt a change in the University of Iowa human rights policy which will include sexual preference as a specific protected class.

The Council selected to refer this item to the Commission at their October 8 meeting. The memo provides background information on the roomers provision of the Zoning Ordinance and an analysis of three alterna- tives to respond to the church's request.

Reverend Johnston had been denied a variance to the roomers provision of the ordinance by the Board of Adjustment on August 8. Reverend Johnston owns property on Hudson Street which he leases to four women who contract with the church to live for a period of time in a group living arrangement. The Zoning Ordinance permits only three unrelated individuals in a single family dwelling in an RS -8 zone - two unrelated individuals may constitute a family and one additional person is the permit- ted roomer. As of November 30, 1984, Reverend Johnston's leasing of the property to four unrelated individuals will be an illegal use of the prem- ises. Background: Roamers Ordinance The "roomers" ordinance was adopted in November, 1983 in response to a concern that too many unrelated people were living in homes in single family neighborhoods and that disruptions in the neighborhoods - traffic, noise, parking problems - were a result of these living arrangements. An ordinance was adopted which reduced the number of permitted roomers from two to one in the single family zones (R1A and R1B; now RS -5 and RS -8) and an additional parking space was required for a roomer. A grace period of one year was established to allow for the termination of leases. The question of enforce- ment and whether the root of the problem was the legal two roomers or the illegal "many" roomers was not addressed by the amendment. The Council's decision at that time was to attempt to control the density of use in single family neighborhoods by decreasing the number of permitted roomers. Analysis: A legislative exemption of any one group from an ordinance which is applied in all other instances to everyone else in the community requires special consideration. What is unique about the activities of the group, or the group itself, which justifies special treatment under the law? Can the group or its activities be clearly defined in the ordinance so that the intent of the legislation is not undermined or beset with ambiguities? Will the exemption result in an effect which is contrary to the original intent of the legislation? MU The activities of the Church which are being considered for an exemption are only the group residences endorsed by the Church and not the usual rituals of a religious institution. It is difficult to guarantee that four people who are residing in a single family home and are members of the Good News Bible Church will have a less negative effect on surrounding properties than any other four people residing in a house. Traffic and parking may still be a concern since those issues are a function of the number of people in a house and not necessarily a function of their association. Although the people of the Good News Bible Church may be "good neighbors" as Reverend Johnston indi- cates, other groups of four unrelated people may be "good neighbors" also. The evidence for singling out residential uses affiliated with churches and exempting those uses from the density provisions of the Zoning Ordinance is not, in the staff's opinion, sufficient to justify special treatment under the law. Further, the municipal zoning enabling legislation (Iowa Code Section 414.2) provides that zoning districts may be created and regulations or restrictions applied, but "all such regulations or restrictions shall be uniform for each class or kind of building throughout each district..." An exemption for religious institutions for the purpose of permitting a certain density of residential use may violate that uniformity requirement. To provide relief for Reverend Johnston and all other property owners with two roomers, the Council may wish to reconsider the number of roomers permitted in single family homes. The planning staff has received numerous calls from single family home owners who have had two roomers to supplement their income and who will feel the impact of the ordinance at the end of November when two roomers are no longer legal. It is questionable whether the reduction in the number of roomers from two to one in single family zones solved the problem of neighborhood disruption mentioned above. The greatest offenders -those properties which are leased or used by many unrelated individuals - are a problem related to the difficulty of enforcement, not to the legislation. The problem will exist whether the regulation permits two roomers or one roomer. If the Council should choose to provide an exemption for residential uses affiliated with churches, the use should be clearly defined to avoid problems with application of the ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance specifically defines a religious institution as "an organization having a religious purpose, which has been granted an. exemption from federal tax as a Section 501(c)(3) organization under the Internal Revenue Code,...". It is suggested that this definition apply to any group granted an exemption. Alternatives: 1. No change. The density of roomers in single family zones would remain at one per dwelling unit and an additional parking space would be required for the roomer. This does not necessarily address the problem of multiple illegal roomers. No relief is given to Reverend Johnston or people who wish to retain two roomers. a of,�z Amend the roomers provisions of the ordinance to permit two roomers in dwelling units in the RS -5 and RS -8 zones and require a parking space for each roomer. Off-street parking would be required for roomers and the density previ- ously permitted since 1962 would be reinstated. This does not necessar- ily address the problem of multiple illegal roomers. Relief is given to Reverend Johnston and other people who wish to retain two roomers, but only if the requisite parking is provided. The required parking is intended to address concerns raised previously about parking congestion in the street. 3. Exempt residential uses affiliated with religious institutions, as defined in the Zoning Ordinance, from the roomers provision and permit a maximum of two roomers per dwelling unit. Also exempt such uses from the additional regulations for religious institutions and amend the defini- tion of a religious institution to include group living situations. This alternative would permit the use of a piece of property for a group living arrangement of no more than four people in single family zones, if the use of the property were controlled by a religious institution through a lease arrangement or through ownership. The use would also be exempt from providing additional parking for any roomers. This alterna- tive could enable Reverend Johnston to lease his property to four individuals if the Good News Bible Church can meet the definition of a religious institution and it is demonstrated that the church controls the use of the property. This would not provide relief to any other single family property owners who wish to retain two roomers. Alternative 3 may present legal problems in terms of the uniform and equitable treatment of all residential issues in a given zone. For this reason, the staff has reservations about the adoption of this alternative. Grace Period Extension: The Council has discussed the possibility of extending the grace period for compliance with the roomers provision to December 31, 1984. Such an exten- sion will require an ordinance amendment also. If the Council wishes to make any amendments to the roomers provision of the Zoning Ordinance, the matter must be referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission for its review and recommendation. This item can be scheduled for the second meeting of Planning and Zoning in October upon the Council's referral. bj2/9 a9� 1City of Iowa CHI' MEMORANDUM Date: November 2, 1984 To: City Council From: Drew Shaffer D 5. Re: Council Information Regarding November 6 Rate Increase Request Public Hearing The following is a brief account of the events that have transpired to date, leading up to the public hearing set for November 6 concerning Heritage Communication's rate increase request. In addition, there is information below concerning how. circumstances have changed since the BTC's recommenda- tions of September 21 and what options are now available to the Council. As a result of the negotiated agreement between the City and Heritage Communications, several conditions were stipulated before approval of the transfer of the Iowa City franchise would be granted by the City. One of these conditions stated the City would agree to consider a rate increase request from Heritage Communications that would be equivalent to their increased costs incurred from raising the franchise fee from 3% t 5%. In return, Heritage agreed to support the City in its effort to obtain a 5% franchise fee petition waiver from the FCC by supplying a letter in support of the City's position to the FCC. Heritage has supplied such a letter. On September 21, 1984, the BTC made the following recommendations to City Council: "The BTC recommends to Council to support a rate increase equiva- lent to the proposal as per the negotiated contract. The BTC recommends to Council that the rate increase, if granted, be in the amount of 40 cents. The BTC recommends to Council that it is the consensus of the Commission that any public hearing on the proposed rate increase be held by the Council rather than the BTC in light of the City Council's past participation and prefer- ence." The City Council then set a public hearing on the rate increase request from Heritage to take place on November 6, 1984. Last week the President signed into law the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 (hereinafter Cable Act). This law does affect the matter before the Council in several ways: The matter before the Council is whether to grant Heritage Communications a 32 to 40 cent rate increase. This increase is to compensate the cable company when and only when the City's 3% franchise fee can be raised to 5%. The 5% franchise fee is to be used to cover all costs associated with the regulation, administration, facilitation and promotion of cable and access as stipulated in the ordinance, and would allow for the expansion of, among other things, local programming and regulation. While the City and Heritage entered into the contract in good faith, the Cable Act of 1984 somewhat changes the circumstances. The City originally agreed to consider a rate increase request in return for the cable company furnishing a letter in support of a franchise fee increase to the FCC. This letter of support was necessary to obtain a waiver from the FCC which would allow the City to increase the franchise fee to 5%. The Cable Act of 1984 allows any city to raise its own franchise fee to 5% Without FCC approval. In addition, the Cable Act of 1984 allows any cable operator to pass those costs on to the subscribers "unless the franchising authority demonstrates that the rate structure specified in the franchise reflects all costs of franchise fees and so notifies the cable operator in writing" (see Sec. 622(c). Since the latter is not the case in Iowa City, the cable operator could automatically pass the costs of any franchise fee increase to the subscribers (as of the date of the enactment of this bill). The matter of Council approving or not approv- ing a rate increase request may be a moot point, unless the decision is reached prior to the effective date the Cable Act, and only then if the decision were against approving a rate increase. In such a case the cable operator would have adequate justification to come back to the City at a later date for a rate increase request based in part upon the City's franchise fee increase. Therefore, the options available to the Council are as follows: A. Council may decide after the November 6 public hearing to support the 5% franchise fee and approve the cable company's rate increase request as per the negotiated contract. B. Council may decide after the November 6 public hearing to support the 5% franchise fee and not approve the cable company's rate increase request. C. Council may decide after November 6 public hearing to not support the 5% franchise fee and not approve the cable company's rate increase request. D. Council may defer any decision until after the effective date of the Cable Act and then pass an ordinance amendment to increase the franchise fee to 5%. In this situation, Council may not have any decision to make regarding a rate increase. The cable operator may then decide whether and how much cost to pass on to the subscribers (up to an amount equivalent to the cost of such a franchise fee increase). Council should be aware that the cable operator will be able to automat- ically raise basic service rates by 5% (45 cents) as of the effective date of the Cable Act. So, even if Council approves the cable company's request, the cable operator may automatically raise rates by an addi- tional 5% after approximately December 26, 1984, or the effective date of the Cable Act of 1984. There are other matters in the Cable Act which do not directl affect th matter of a rate increase request, but may will continue to analyze the Cable Act affecting the Iowa City Cable Ordinance and for timely consideration. bdw3/3 cc: David Brown Bill Terry Y e require Council action.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTION TAKEN: The Commission discussed and passed three motions dealing with the proposed rate increase request and a public hearing thereon. Commissioners discussed methods to further better communication and cooperation among cable regula- tory bodies in the Iowa City area. Sigrin suggested establishing an award on behalf of the BTC for significant contributions to telecommunications in Iowa City. MEETING CALLED TO ORDER: Meeting came to order at 8:06 a.m. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Terry said the agenda for today's special meeting would deal with three items for inrnegotiatedtcontracts withlHeritage? a(2) If approvedconside�aion: (1) Shoud the BTC prove a rate m,cinawhat amounse t? and (3) If approved, should the BTC hold a public hearing on the proposed rate increase? MINUTES l BROADBAND TELECOMMUNI,...rIONS COM14ISSION SEPTEMBER 21, 1984 PAGE 2 CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR INCREASE IN BASIC SERVICE RATES: Terry opened discussion on this item with a reminder that the proposed rate increase is tied to the five percent franchise fee waiver. Ifthe rate increase request is approved, the company will join the City in its petition to the FCC for the waiver. Terry reminded the Commissioners that the NPO also has to be approved by the FCC. Terry moved the BTC approve and support a rate increase request as per the negotiated contract with Heritage. Madsen asked what effect the BTC's approval or disapproval would have on the City Council's position. Helling said that the Council had left flexible whether a rate increase was appropriate to achieve one of the goals that was speci- fied in the points that were recommended, and that was an increase in the franchise fee from three to five percent. The only way that the company would agree to support the City to the FCC for that extra two percent, Helling said, was if the City would allow the company to raise the basic subscription rate in an amount that would cover the two percent. Helling said further, that the Council did not want to make that decision as part of that agreement but wanted some flexibility. So the agreement is written to basically say that the company will apply for a rate increase as they would for any rate increase and that it would be processed in the usual manner by the City Council and at that time a decision would be made. The agreement also stipulates, Helling said, that the if the Commission and ultimately the Council is not willing to entertain the idea of a rate increase at this time, then the City will drop the whole issue of a five percent franchise fee and no petition will be made to the FCC. _1 Terry stated a second must be obtained before any further discussion or the motion would die for lack of a second. Sigrin seconded. Madsen asked whether that meant that the Council is under obligation to accept the point of view of the BTC but that does not tie then to any action. Helling said that is correct. Johnson asked for a clarification of the chronological order in which the procedures under discussion would be carried out. Helling said the understanding would be that the Council's approval of the rate increase would be contingent upon FCC approval of the five percent. franchise fee. Johnson questioned whether there was precedence for approving a rate increase based upon a contingency; whether a conditional rate hike was consistent with the Iowa City cable franchise. Shaffer and Helling said that the and then Washington had not law firmbeen hiredsasda consultantoin thismatter legal aware of the City's plan to proceed in this manner. Johnson asked whether a vote on the first motion presumed a vote on the follow-up motion on whether the BTC would hold a public hearing. Terry said it did not. Shaffer said the City Council had decided to hold a public hearing on the rate increase request. Terry called for a vote on the motion. Secretary read the motion. Johnson Sxpresssome confuion over indiscus- ion, Terry withdrewshis motion hwith nthe agreemenguage of thet ofithe secondwand substi- tuted the following motion: That the BTC recommend to City Council to support a rate increase equivalent to the proposal as per the negotiated contract. Seconded by Sigrin. Madsen, Terry and Sigrin voted aye. Ehninger and Johnson voted nay. Motion carried. .2 /D8 MINUTES BROADBAND TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 21, 1984 PAGE 3 Based upon passage of the previous motion, the next question before the Commission was what the amount of the rate increase should be. Shaffer explained that each one percent of the franchise fee represents $25,000. Thus, the next franchise fee payment would be $75,000. In that case, the extra two percent would represent $50,000. Based on the present fee struc- ture, a .40t increase would mean $50,000, or a reimbursement to the company in the amount of the additional two percent. Terry moved that the BTC recommend to Council that the rate increase, if granted, should be in the amount of 40t. Madsen seconded. Terry, Madsen and Sigrin voted aye. Ehninger and Johnson abstained under the circumstance of having voted against the previous motion. The motion passed. Terry moved that it is the sense of the Commission that any public hearing on a proposed rate increase should be held by the Council rather than the Commission, in light of the City Council's past participation and preference. Madsen seconded. Following discussion of the language of the motion, the above -stated language was agreed upon and the vote was unanimous in favor of the motion. NEW BUSINESS: Terry asked for feedback on the problem of communicating with the contiguous communities. Terry asked what Commissioners' theories are regarding the possibility of having a member of the cable commissions of the contiguous communities sit on the Iowa City BTC. Johnson indicated he would be in favor of closer communication among the various cable commissions. Ehninger said the Riverfront Commission has members from all the communities. Helling said there could be legal difficulties with seating members from outside the city limits of Iowa City. Johnson suggested the possibility of an Eastern Iowa Cable Regulatory Commission which would encompasse Cedar Rapids as well as the Iowa City area cable bodies, in addition to representatives of access groups and communities from the entire area. Blough expressed support for better communication between cable commissions with which he has to deal, with the hope that such cooperation might increase the knowledgeability of other cable commissions with the issues. Ehninger suggested the BTC try an informal approach and issue an invitation to the cable regulatory entities to attend a meeting of the Iowa City BTC. Sigrin suggested that he would also like to see the BTC establish an award to be given once a year based upon an individual or group's contribution to telecommunications in Iowa City. Based upon input and recommendations from knowledgeable individuals and groups, Sigrin said, the BTC would once a year in a public forum, make a presentation of special recognition to a group, individual or company who in the estimation of the BTC has made a significant contribution. Johnson said this could be something like the certificate presented to Anita Steth for her efforts on behalf of access in Iowa City. Stewart reported on behalf of Access Iowa City, saying that in May she had contacted the mayor of Coralville in regard to Coralville's participation in access and found him to be interested in cable issues, though not well informed. Stewart said also that she had contacted the chair of the Coral- ville Cable Commission and invited him or a member of his Commission to attend a meeting of Access Iowa City for an update on HR4103 and the process of the cable franchise transfer, but although the invitation was accepted, no /oP MINUTES BROADBAND TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 21, 1984 PAGE 4 one from Coralville attended. It was agreed this discussion would be continued at a later date and the Commission would make efforts to engage representatives of cable regulatory bodies in the Iowa City area in informal, face-to-face dialogue.

KARR CITY CLERK (3) aio9 ki ,.y o access ' wa io M—Rcity 233 highland drive Iowa city, Iowa 52240 November 5, 1984 Dear Councilor: This letter is to serve as an introduction to our organization, Access Iowa City. We are a group of local residents who organized in the summer of 1981 to support local cable programming. In the past three years our membership has grown through various activities: sponsorship of two separate weeks of live programming on local access channels, as well as two spaghetti dinners and a "roast" for Drew Shaffer. Numerous smaller events have focused the attention of Iowa Citians on cable programming and legislative issues relating to cable. Access Iowa City meets monthly and has committees which meet more frequently to keep abreast of issues relating to the local situation, i.e. the transfer of the franchise from ATC to Heritage. We support the Iowa City City Council for their approval of the recommendations from the Broadband Telecommunications Commission' regarding conditions of sale. We also recognize that the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 will have local impact. We are proud of the accomplishments of community producers in a short period in this pioneering field. We are confident of solid support in Iowa City for a properly funded non-profit organization to manage local programming. One way we receive continuing education in such a rapidly developing area is attendance of regional and national National Federation of Local Cable Programmers (NFLCP) conferences. Attached you will see a brochure recently obtained that provides a basic framework on public access television. You may already be aware of us - we hope so! If you have ideas of programming you would like to see, let us know and we will let local producers hear of your ideas.

The camera. recorder combination Is called a "Portapak". .210 Welcome to the world of public access television Believe It or not, some of your friends and neighbors living In the Nonhwest Suburbs have been and continue to make local cable television programs that are cablecast on the Public access channels. These programs in most cases are geared towards a specific au. dience. We like to refer to it as "narrowcasting". A good example of this trend is the magazine Industry. Ten or fifteen years ago it was difficult to find a magazine geared towards a very specific hobby or interest. Today the marketplace Is Inundated with many different types of magazines to meet the needs of many different types of people. Many of these magazines do not boast huge circulation numbers, but the magazine Itself fills a particular void that general purpose publications can't 1111 and therefore unsuccessful. The same holds true for local programming via access channels. Broadcast stations can not disseminate local information like cable television can. Area residents produce programs that are geared towards a select group of people living In the Northwest Suburbs. For Instance, if a local senior citizens group produces a pro• gram about seniors issues, for the most pan the audience would be local senior citizens. There still remains this tremendous void of local communication that only you can 1111. The Community Access Corporation and Storer Cable offer you the training and the necessary equipment to communicate via cable television by way of public access than. nel. Don't lel this electronic means of communication frighten you. Making local televi• sion programs is a lot easier than you think. Weare not critics orjudges of your program• ming, nor do we ever Intend to be. We want as many people as possible to utilize this local medium as much as they can. For the most part, everyone involoved with community programming have enjoyed the ex• perlencs of producing programs. The people Involved are from every age group. Their programs are cablecast Into thousands of Northwest area homes every day. They make these programs free of charge. The programs are not produced with the Intention of meeting broadcast quality standards -they are produced to communicate a message or Idea, whatever 11 maybe. There are access channels for specific purposes. It Is up to you, your blends, your neighbors, your churches, your schools and your local eity government to get Involved and slay Involved with the process of communication whether It be serious communication or entenainment. Our job Is to assist local residents to produce local cable television programming. We are the Community Access Corporation. Who's who in your area CAC "CAC" stands for the Northwest Suburban Community Access Corporation. It Is an Incor• Petaled, non-profit group made up of volunteers who are responsible for the pro. gramming policies and the operation of the access channels, II has a 14 -member board, currently appointed by the NWSCCC. Anyone living In the franchise area can become a member of the CAC. The chairman of the CAC is Ron West of Brooklyn Park. AREA ACCESS COORDINATOR/ CAC LIAISON NWSCCC "NWSCCC" stands for the Northwest Subur• Dan Cable Communications Commission.

The representatives are appointed by their respec• five city councils. The NWSCCC was respon• sible for the franchise award to Storer Cable and Is responsible for the policing of Storer. It Is also responsible for handling citizen com- plaints that cannot be settled by Storer. In other words, the buck stops here, The chair• man of the NWSCCC is Jack Irving of Crystal. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR There is an executive director for both the NWSCCC and the CAC. He Is responsible for the day to day business aspects of the cable operation and the dally operation of the system. He works closely with Jack Irving, Ron West and Storer executives. STORER CABLEVISION Many people are confused about Storer because the company actually has two names. The official corporation is Northern Cablevision Northwest, Inc., usually known just as "Northern". It Is a whollyavmed subtr sidiary of Storer Broadcasting, Inc. of Miami. Storer Headquarters Is located at 6901 Win. netka Ave, N., Brooklyn Park, MN. 55428. Tools of the Traae! the character generator ¢ �` The character generator Is an electronic I- t ewritterthatelectronicall yp y "prints" words on t" r the screen. It also produces colors for different , backgrounds to those words and numbers. Character generators are the pieces of equip- ment that type sports scores on the screen dur- ing television sportscasts, for example. This character generator has 12"pages"of memory: that is, you can type a full screen of characters, i i-I_I_I.I I I_L_I I I I.I_. then go to a second page and the CG will "rememeber" what's on the first page -to be reconstructed for you at any time. the audio board The "voice" for the television production is the AUDIO BOARD. Inputs can handle many microphones, cassette tapes, a record player and other audio lines. Productions can be sim- ple and use only one microphone, or complex with many sources of sound to be mixed. The board also controls the overall level of the pro- ductlon's sound, and can be used to mix in music and special sound effects with voices. the portable studio A studio that can be moved (albeit with two or three people to help) Is a portable studio. It comes with two cameras, monitors, as audio board and a switcher and Is capable of doing a great many of the things a regular studio can ac- complish. The portable studio may be checked out by users following workshop training. It s main function Is in producing large and com- plex shows on the spot -covering a church pro• gram for example or perhaps producing a play. 4210 I L101", li, �,yY nriii r • a it_may. Q'S AND A'S ABOUT ACCESS C -What are access channels? A -Access channels are channels set aside by law that are available for public use. You can produce your own programs and request "airtime"(known as "cablellme" or "cablecasting", more correctly) for your program to go out on an access channel. Access television has been described as "a community talking with Itself." C -Who uses access? A -You and your neighbors. Programs are produced by civic groups, churches, labor unions, students, clubs, school districts, govern• ments, police departments and lust by people who have something to say. C -How much does It cost? A -Not a cent to the user. The access operation Is funded by a five percent franchise fee paid by Storer Cablevision. C -Where do you make these programs? A -There are live public access studios: In Brooklyn Center, New Hope, Maple Grove, Plymouth and Brooklyn Park. In addition, portable cameras and videocassette recorders ("Portapak" equipment) are available to tape programs on location -for example, to tape a civic group meeting or a high school sporting event. C -But what II 1 don't know how to use television equipment? A -Don't worry. Professional Instructors will train you In the use of the equipment. C -Are programs censored or edlted by anyone other than the producer? A -No. However, there can be no commercials or solicitations of funds. There Is no prior censorship of materials. The Community Ac. cess Corporation (CAC) believes that In a free society all Ideas must be allowed their time In the marketplace of thought. Programs In. volving advertising, lottery Information or obscene material will not however be cablecast. C -I'm Interested In producing programming for myself or my group. How can I find out more? A -You can call the CAC office at 5988369 FOUR BASIC WAYS TO PRODUCE SHOWS There are four basic ways to produce television. The first Is the studio production which lands Itself well to Interview shows, discussion shows, some types of entertainment shows and live cablecasts. It Is made with two or three studio cameras, a swllcher (which selects what camera Is on the air), an audio board, microphones and a character generator (which Is like an electronic typewriter and produces the figures and letters you see on TV broad• cast stations). The second Is the Portapak unit. The Portapak Is a portable camera, videocassette deck and microphone that Is wholly saftontalned and can be operated either on AC power or batteries. The Porlapak Is excellent for shooting meetings, doing outside work, and covering sports. The third Is the portable studio. Two cameras, a switcher, videocassette docks -Is short anything that appears In a stddlo-can be taken and set up on location. The portable studio Is used for major productions" covering a civic celebration parade, for example, or perhaps doing an extensive program on a theatre performance or a church servlco. The fourth Is the mobilo van. It carries everylhing the portable studios do and more. It loo Is used for major productions -for example covering a local college football game.

School f CO F `,Ity of Iowa City,--,, MEMORANDUM Date: November 6, 1984 To: City Manager and Members of the City Council From::Jim Hencin, CDBG Program Coordinator Re: 1985 CDBG Funding Requests The information below is provided in response to questions about several 1985 CDBG funding requests which were brought to my attention by Council members and others. Numerical references are made to the order in which projects are listed in the recommendations by the Committee on Community Needs. 63 Housing Rehabilitation and Weatherization What is the budget for the full-time staff person? The position of the Housing Rehabilitation Officer, which is author- ized in the City's FY85 Operating Budget, is included in the request for this project. Consistent with HUD policy to include "activity delivery costs" as project costs as opposed to general program administrative costs, the salary of the Housing Rehabilitation Officer (FY85 = $24,400), benefits (approximately 16% or $3,904), and estimated direct costs for supplies, services and other charges ($5,384) for administering the various rehabilitation and weatheri- zation programs are included in the $180,000 budget. It should be noted that this also includes administration of the City's rental rehabilitation grant program which does not allow for administrative costs. B7 Consolidated Services Facility for MECCA Who is served by MECCA -- from Iowa City and Johnson County? For FY 1984, MECCA served 521 clients from Iowa City and 94 clients from Johnson County, outside of Iowa City, in its residential/halfway house and outpatient treatment programs. In its prevention service program, 2,431 Iowa City residents and 106 rural Johnson County residents were served. What is the mandate, if any, for Johnson County to fund MECCA's operating budget? As of July 1, 1984, there is no State mandate for Johnson County to provide funding to MECCA. The mandate was taken over by the State for treatment programming only and does not include costs for prevention, early intervention, and other programs. This year, MECCA requested $105,000 from Johnson County and received $103,000. The agency plans to request $103,000 from the County for next year during the upcoming hearing process. These funds are paid to MECCA from the County's Mental Health Institution Fund. allo What is the status of Johnson County and other funding for MECCA's proposed new facility? MECCA has not yet formally requested funding from Johnson County for their proposed facility. The agency will make its request to the County during the County's revenue sharing funding process in late December. MECCA plans to ask other cities in the four counties it services for additional funds (approximately $20,000). 09 Iowa City Women's Transit Authority What is the reason for the apparent jump in United Way funding for the Rape Victim Advocacy Program (RVAP) from last year to this year? Prior to 1984, the RVAP only received an emergency allocation from United Way. This year United Way changed from a January 1 to an April 1 fiscal year. Thus, when the RVAP received $3,000 from United Way last year, it was budgeted at $1,500 for the period before January 1, 1984, and $1,500 for the interim quarter, January 1 through March 31, 1984. The RVAP is now a United Way member agency and received $7,054 from United Way for FY85. It should be noted, however, that no RVAP funds are intended to be directed toward the W.T.A. project. What are the implications of funding this project from a transportation coordination and a Human Rights Ordinance point of view? Please refer to the attached memoranda regarding these issues. 512 Goodwill Industries Renovation How did the CCN arrive at the $100,000 recommended allocation for this project? Please refer to the discussion on pages 4 and 8 in the minutes of the October 23, 1984, CCN meeting. Basically, the Committee had reached a point where all remaining funds had been allocated, except for a contingency and "cushion" for anticipated funding reductions by HUD. The Committee agreed to reconsider this project for increased funding in January once the status of congregate housing was known, and the City had more information from HUD as to the level of 1985 CON funding. 013 General Program Administration What is included in the budget for administration? The budget for administration is comprised of: $82,425 for salaries $13,188 for benefits $12,396 for direct costs for supplies, services and other charges a//o -3 - The following personnel, which are authorized in the City's FY85 Operating Budget, are included in the above amounts: Director of Planning & Program Development (1/5) Administrative Secretary (1/4) CDBG Program Coordinator (full-time) Associate Planners (Two 3/4 time) 914 Contingency Is the amount recommended for contingency $25,171 or $50,000? The amount recommended to the City Council is $25,171. The higher amount ($50,000) mentioned in the October 23 CCN minutes included $25,000 from an estimated carryover of 1984 CDBG funds. For the purposes of clarification, the recommendations are reported on the basis of a $736,000 grant. General Why did the CCN place a contingency on so many recommendations? The Committee has been concerned about the slow progress of some projects in the past. The contingencies were recommended as a means of encouraging progress by placing specific benchmark completion dates. Representatives of the various human service agencies which requested CDBG funds, as well as staff and CCN members, will be present at the public hearing to address these and other questions from the City Council. bc2 ity of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: November 5, 1984 To: Jim Hencin, CDBG Program Coordinator From: Monica Moen, Associate Planner *((Bu-� Re: 1985 CDBG Projects and Transportation Coordination Rules Chapter 601J of the Code of Iowa requires recipients of state or federal transportation funds to coordinate transit services with local public transit systems. Only if an agency receiving funds can demonstrate that the existing public transit system cannot adequately provide the service, can an agency proceed with plans to become a transit provider for its clients. A purpose of this regulation is to avoid duplication of transit activities. It is anticipated that effective July 1, 1985, financial sanctions will be imposed upon agencies violating this rule. Agencies receiving state or federal funds for transportation elements of their programs must show compliance with this regulation. Those unable to do so risk a gradual withholding of the state or federal monies they receive. This applies to both DOT funds and non -DOT funds. The Committee on Community Needs has recommended that two transporta- tion -related applications for 1985 CDBG assistance, the Women's Transit Authority's application for funds to operate a nighttime ride service for women, and Handicare's request to purchase a van, be favorably considered by the Council for funding. Both of the programs, if funded, would have to comply with the elements of Chapter 601J. bcl .2//D -'ity of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: November 6, 1984 To: Jim Hencin, CDBG Coordinator From: Monica Moen, Associate Planner 1hNRVCI�_� Re: Compliance of the Women's Transit Authority 1985 COBB Application with the Human Rights Ordinance The Women's Transit Authority has requested assistance from the 1985 CDBG program to operate a nighttime ride service for women. The role of men in the service will be restricted to the extent that men will not be permit- ted to drive the cars or staff the phones, and the ride service will not be available to men. CDBG assistance is requested to install a phone line, to purchase two file cabinets and to subsidize the rides of lower income women. This proposal may violate the City's Human Rights Ordinance on two counts: Section 18-31(a) of the IowaCity Code of Ordinances makes it unlawful for any employer to refuse to hire or otherwise discriminate in employment against any other person because of several characteristics including sex. Exceptions to this rule do occur for employers which choose to offer employment to only the disabled or elderly and in certain instances where sex is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of a particular business or enterprise. The Code, however, indicates in Section 18-31(a)(5) that bona fide occupational qualification shall be interpreted narrowly. An interpretation from the City's Human Rights Specialist indicates that this proposed transit program does not meet the tests for a bona fide occupational qualification limitation. Section 18-33(a) prohibits denying any person the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges and advan- tages of any place of public accommodation based upon many qualities including sex. In addition, Section 18-33(b) makes it unlawful to advertise or publicize that patronage of persons is unwelcome because of age, color, creed, disability, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation. Public accommodations may be designed specifically for the use by the elderly and disabled. But the Code makes no provisions for limiting public accommodations to one sex. It appears, consequently, that limiting ridership in the proposed nighttime ride service would be in conflict with the human rights provisions of the City Code. bc2 cc: Phyllis Alexander a//6 A:d 0 AIL VA, VIM map I A, PROGRAM STATEMENT PROJECT RESOURCE BOOK SUBMITTED BY: COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY NEEDS Mickey Lauria, Chairperson Ruth Becker Roberta Patrick Grace Cooper Sally Smith Karen Kubby Steven L.

Becker recommended that a contingency be placed on this request that an option to buy or acquisition be in writing by June 1, 1985, or the funds revert back to CCN. City Park Accessibility Project. Smith asked if the City considered this a priority and if this project would be completed without CDBG assistance. Mintle said that the accessible restroom must be built by October, 1986, or federal funding received by the City is injeopardy. Hencin stated this project may either be funded with COBB funds or the City would have to identify another source. The vote was two ranking it high, four ranking it medium, and four ranking it low for a total of 18 points. Community Support Services Addition (Mid -Eastern Iowa Community Mental Health Center) Lauria stated everyone had received a letter regarding the — amendments to the project proposal. The vote was two ranking it high, five ranking it medium, and three ranking it low priority for a total of 19 points. A contingency was placed on the request to stipulate that the money is to be used to purchase only the piece of property identified in this proposal and if this property cannot be purchased, then the money reverts back to CCN. Consolidated Human Services Facility (United May). Leshtz stated his concerns as to the impersonal atmosphere a consolidated facility could generate. He referred to observations made at the Linn County consolidated facility. Smith said it would be nice if an individual seeking the services did not have to run all over town but rather, could go to a centralized building. Lauria pointed out that only four of the groups expected to be _ housed in a consolidated facility are located in the outlying areas and that the other agencies are all within a few blocks of each other presently. Parden is not optimistic that there will be enough room for each agency in the building being considered. Patrick said she thinks it is an appropriate concept and she can see a great advantage with the agencies sharing ideas and working together. Two ranked the project as a high priority, one regarded it a medium priority and seven ranked it a low priority. The proposal received 15 points. Consolidated Services Facility (MECCA). Hencin stated that MECCA presently serves only men but will be able to serve women also if a consolidated, expanded facility were constructed. Stinnel said he would like to see more detoxification services as the County is spending a great deal of money sending people #o Cedar Rapids, Mt. Pleasant and Independence. Smith said this facility serves a lot of people. The vote was five: high priority, four: medium and one: low priority, for a total of 24 points.

The vote was four high priority, four medium priority and two low priority for a total point value of 22. Longfellow Playground Equipment. Williams asked why the PTA wanted the play- ground equipment if the school would not commit to maintaining the equipment. Patrick said this request is for playground equipment for younger children to play on. She stated that presently the equipment that is there is usable for only the older children. Parden reviewed portions of the Parks & Recreation Department's budget. She felt the Parks & Recreation Commission should start to put some of their money into parks. Patrick stated that the public should attend the Parks and Recreation meetings and make requests known to them. The vote went one high prioroity, five medium priority, four low priority for a total of 17 points. Miller/Orchard Park Development. Stimmel said he felt that this proposal should be funded by the Parks and Recreation Commission. He also felt that it is unlikely that the park will be developed this year and that it would not be sensible to tie up CDBG funds. Cooper said if the neighborhood doesn't have a park there is no need for money to develop it as of yet. Lauria said if 1985 CDBG monies are not allocated for the project, the proposal can be submitted for '86 dollars. He would .like to have it made known that CCN considers this an important project. One person ranked it high, three people ranked it medium and five people gave it a low ranking. Williams abstained. The total came to 15.6 points. Minority Committee Request. Cooper referred to the health risks involved with whirlpools. Mona McElderry stated that 75-80 people are in Systems homes and there are others in the community that would benefit by this proposal. She said that most likely someone from Visiting Nurses or another companion would assist those using the whirlpool. The vote went four medium and six low priority for a total of 14 points. North Market Square Handicapped Play Area. Dr. William Dull, Horace Mann PTO President, stated the group considered it desirable to have equipment for handicapped people. He stated there are five Systems homes around the area and that handicapped children do attend Horace Mann School. He stated that the Horace Mann PTO has already raised $2,000 for this project. The vote was eight high rankings and two medium rankings for a total of 28 points. a//0 MINUTES COMMITTEE ON CC ;NITY NEEDS OCTOBER 23, 1984 PAGE 6 Property Acquisition and Clearance. Parden said she feels the City should buy creek land as it becomes available. Stimnel agreed and added that the Ralston Creek project should be finished. The vote was two high ratings, - three medium ratings and five low ratings for a total of 17 points. Ralston Creek Improvements-Creekside. Stimmel again reiterated his concerns _ about Ralston Creek and how he would like to see the targeted areas along Ralston Creek finished. Parden stated that this could be a real advantage instead of a disadvantage. Williams said he feels it is time the City accepts its responsibilities. The vote was four high rankings, one medium ranking and five low rankings for a total vote of 19. Ralston Creek Park. Kubby said the people who would benefit from this are those who do have alternative recreation opportunities elsewhere. Lauria said it would be pleasant to have green space in this area. The vote was one high priority and nine low priority votes for a total of 12 points. School House Park. Patrick feels that the school district and the Parks and Recreation Committee should negotiate on this item. Becker stated that she feels this high traffic area is not advantageous for a park. Horowitz explained that this came to the attention of the Planning and Zoning Commission last ,spring. She stated that P&Z would work with the Historic Preservation Commission when preparing plans for the school building. She stated there is just no other space to acquire a park in this neighborhood. The vote was ten low priority rankings for a total of 10 points. Shared Housing, Kubby stated she feels this is an important project and it should be given a chance to work; consequently, she would like to see the support continued. Williams stated he would like.an April 1, 1985 deadline to contract with a private agency included in the recommendation. Nine gave it a high rating and one gave it a medium rating for a total of 29 points. Spruce Street Storm Sewer Project. Stimnel said he feels this is a very needed project, but it should be completed with City funds and not CDBG dollars. Smith said the inadequate storm sewer condition is due to develop- ment of the neighborhood and the City should handle these inadequacies. The vote was one medium ranking and nine low rankings for a total of 11 points. Transportation Van (Handicare). Parden asked if a vehicle can be purchased under the guidelines for CDBG funding. Hencin said normally this is not an eligible activity but that HUD did allow this type of purchase last year. Hencin suggested, and the Committee approved, the contingency that the monies will be allocated upon Handicare's move to Iowa City by April of 1985. Five gave it a high ranking, four gave it a medium ranking and one gave it a low ranking for a total of 24 points. General Program Administration.

GOODWILL INDUSTRIES RENOVATION Clients Served: Currently Goodwill Industries is serving 140 clients per Tear from their Iowa City Center, averaging 65-70 persons in training at the Center daily. Client diagnoses are as follows: 55% mental retarda- tion, 25% psychiatric disorders, 15% other developmental disabilities, and 5% physical disabilities including hearing and vision impairments, _ etc. They estimate that 15 clients in a year a non-ambulatory and would have difficulty with the unsurfaced parking lot during their several month period at Goodwill. _ Pro ect Need: Completion of Phases I and II would allow Goodwill to handle larger contracts for companies and therefore serve 5-10 more clients Per day. It is feared that some bids are currently lost due to _ Goodwill s limited space, with companies preferring to have work done in larger quantities. There are eight clients now on a waiting list for the program. Client discomfort is a factor in the winter when the warehouse area cannot read heats of over 50 degrees and clients must wear coats indoors to work. Energy conservation is another reason for completing the _ project, saving energy and program dollars. Finally, fire and safety problems exist in office and cafeteria areas with the need for another exit for staff and clients. 2. HOUSING MODIFICATION FOR LOW/MODERATE INCOME FRAGILE ELDERLY Clients Served: The Elderly Services Agency (ESA) served 364 seniors last quarter with chore services, 380 in outreach services and received 567 information and referral calls. In addition, 439 different seniors received cheese and butter through their food distribution last quarter. ESA has significant contacts with seniors needing help. Pro.iect Need: Last year's project for $1,000 served seven seniors with elevdiffer en ent jobs done to their homes. The $2,500 requested for 1985 will serve 24-25 seniors at approximately $100 per project. ESA is asking for this modest amount of funds to help with projects for the very needy so that they do not overload their program by trying to provide a large rehab program along with all of their other services. 3. IMPROVED HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBILITY TO MARK IV/WILLOWCREEK NEIGHBORHOOD. Clients Served: Approximately 30 s reside in the Mark IV housing project, of the 30 handicapped individuals five frequently use the Willowcreek Center fopurposes r s of its lowaograms ~ or volunteer work within the Center. Approximately City residents use the services or come to the center one time a week. Out of a��o the five handicapped individuals who use the center, one does not use the center on a regular basis because of the inability to maneuver a wheel- chair when weather conditions are inclement (i.e. muddy entry way, snow). Project Need: Of the 30 handicapped individuals residing at Mark IV, none are currently living in management modified apartments. At least one handicapped tenant has provided his own basic modifications -wheel- chair ramp made from wood. A variety of services were provided to 34 senior citizens last quarter. HANDICARE Clients Served: At the present time Handicare is licensed for 15 " clients. Twelve of these clients (80%) are Iowa City residents. Only three (20%) do not qualify as being low to moderate income persons. Handicare maintains a 50/50 mix of handicapped/non-handicapped clients. Pro'ect Need: A van is needed to provide pick up or delivery of clients o eir omes. Daily parent conferences are a part of the handicapped program, and therefore rides will not be given both ways. Home pick up and drop off will only be made available to handicapped and low income participants. The van will only be used for other groups for group field trips, which number approximately 20 per year, and are all local trips. Parents able to afford it will be charge a sliding scale transportation fee for the use of the van at these times. _. SEATS cannot be relied upon for extended periods of use (such a field trips), and services cannot be scheduled at regular times for home pick up or drop off. This may result'in children remaining unattended. SEATS does not begin operation until 7:30 a.m., and picking up these routes, which are at the SEATS program's busiest hours, could stretch beyond SEATS capacity. SEATS confirmed that they cannot provide this service regularly to Handicare. Handicare would need to make modifications to a rented van, such as installing a chair lift, as well as installing child -restraint equipment. Anchoring of child restraints may not be possible in a rented van. Handicare is currently seeking funding as a United Way agency, and also receives funding from Johnson County through their Mental Health/Mental -Retardation funds and the Department of Human Services. 5. COMMUNITY SUPPORT SERVICES ADDITION Clients Served: In 1975 the Community Mental Health Center served 721 _ individuals. In 1984 they served 1,259. Different individuals in the Center on a given day range from 34 to 51, an average of 45.7. Pro ect Need: Accessibility 'for disabled clients is one major need for Ms pro3ec . Presently only one very small office is accessible and it is needed for other uses. If that office is in use, the Director must leave his office to allow it to be used for handicapped clients. (Twelve individuals are receiving service each year and there may be numerous visit$ per individual.) 1'1?//0 Groups can only meet on the second floor in the group room there, so no physically disabled persons can received group therapy at the Center. _ Clients are often required to stand in the waiting room due to a shortage of space to sit and this overcrowding makes for increased uneasy feelings in what may already be a tense situation for the client. Congestion _ occurs at reception windows also for clients coming and going. It should be noted that the Center's hours are 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Monday and 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. The City did not approve a handicapped metered parking space for the Center, which was recommended by their recent accreditation review. The adjacent driveway would allow a place for SEATS and the Bionic Bus to _ unload disabled passengers. Staff offices are small, storage and workspace are at a premium for professional and clerical duties. One staff member who works in two counties and the half-time student intern have not space of their own and "float" among the offices as possible. Recently the center psychiatrist of many years retired. His office was extremely small, 70 square feet, — and it is felt that a larger space is needed for his replacement to improve his/her working conditions. Finally, the Center Director has indicated that more clients can be served and served better with in- creased space. 6. CONSOLIDATED SERVICES FACILITY (MECCA) Clients Served: 14,764 units of services (one hour face-to-face contact or treatment or 24 hours of residential services equals one unit) were provided to Johnson County residents last year by MECCA - a 20% increase over the previous year. In addition, referrals were more severe as measured by significant increases in the percentage of clients needing physical, psychological testing and antabuse (a drug which induces illness i.f alcohol is consumed) These increases took place with no increases in staff or facilities during this time. Pro,iect Need: The deterioration of Voss House, 611 South Clinton, is documented by City inspections regarding code violations. Bed space has been reduced from 26 to 20 beds due to deficiencies in the facility. MECCA has determined that the funds required to make this facility adequate could be better spent on combining their residential and office space into one building. MECCA is presently renting space from the Iowa City Airport Commission at 1701 S. Riverside. These offices are not accessible and are extremely crowded. For example, case conferences are held in a hallway and the reception area is extremely crowded. By locating all of their operations together, MECCA can save administra- tive dollars in terms of staff coverage, phones, utilities, etc. Their total operation is too large for reasonable consolidation with other agencies and their residential program and client confidentiality r requirements further prevent consolidation. M 5 The new facility would provide initially for 24 residential beds. In addition there may be the possibility of adding a short-term social lacram fdetoxification program and short-term mental health pro ement o Mount stabilization as an alternative to longer term p Pleasant, etc. The new u�aosescilit as oneededvforh eithert detoxification pror use beds for varying p p expansion of Voss House programming. has a two to three weekeriiting period Present the out patient program for service and Voss House a three to four week waiting p 7.

In April, 1984, CCN and the Housing Commission reviewed the Shared Housing Program materials and recommended continual funding for up to three years. Addition- ally, this proposal is consistent with the Iowa City Community Development Plan for 1985 and 86. The Shared Housing Program offers opportunities for shared living arrange - of nd ments which can persons,obut also tve, not he quathe lity of their lives.

Re: Fiscal year 1985 CDBG Proposal from Mark IV/Willowcreek Neighborhood Center It was at the request of the Mark IV apartments management in 1973 that Mark IV/Willowcreek Neighborhood Center was established as a project of the University of Iowa School of Social Work. For the past eleven years management has supported the center by providing a rent free location. This has been done with a belief that any lost rental income has been well invested in resulting neighborhood improvements. Last June, I re-evaluated my commitment to this arrangement. After a meeting with Dick Myers of the Johnson County Board of Supervisors, Marianne Volm of United Way, and Carol Thompson of the �•, Iowa Department of Human Services, I was reassured that the center is of significant benefit to apartment residents, the Mark IV neighborhood, and to the larger community by way of cutting down on social service demands at the county, level. I was especially impressed that those at the meeting stated that they were working to ensure that the neighborhood center receive the increased local support which it is already earning, and I matched their enthusiasm with my renewed commitment to providing rent free space for the center. My belief is that the Mark IV/Willowcreek Neighborhood Center is doing a good job of providing meaningful services despite constraints of limited local support. It is also my opinion that it will become even more of an asset as that support continues to grow. _ With that in mind, it is my intention to continue providing the neighborhood center with its rent free space for the foreseeable future.

Thomas Mittman, President Susan Heitshusen, Vice -President Pam Ramser, Secretary Mike Carstens, Treasurer Kieth Jones Stevan Loupse Mark Adix PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Philosophy The philosophy that guides Handicare's program is that all children, regardless of any handicapping condition, have a right to care in the least restrictive environment from their earliest years, so that they have the opportunity to grow and develop to their maximum potentials. In light of this philosophy, Handicare was established to provide for the following needs which were not being met locally. -To provide early intervention for handicapped children under age 3 in a daycare center program, where no such program had existed. Early intervention enables these children to be taught proper patterns for movement, communication and socialization skills, using appro- priate therapies. The longer the delay in giving disabled children.proper - instruction, the more difficult it becomes to correct improper patterns and enable them to develop to their maximum potentials. -To provide a daycare program for disabled children aged 3 and over which operates beyond the usual school day and school year. Full-day, full -year programming enables parents to feel secure about their child's care and also allows for unbroken progression in learn- ing for these children. -To provide a program of care which integrates disabled and non - disabled children in order to further enhance development and learning in the disabled children. -' The non -disabled children serve as role models for appropriate behavior patterns. Research by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare Office of Human Development Services, Head Start Bureau (No. 011-092-0034-1) has shown that disabled children have benefitted by being cared for in a setting with non -disabled children. Non -disabled also benefit by interacting with disabled children and becoming aware of their special needs. -To support disabled children and their families in the home environ- ment through daily interaction with parents and provision of counseling, _ information and guidance, in addition to the direct benefits of the program to children. Handicare thus provides an alternative to institutionalization by offering care at a reasonable and affordable cost to parents. -To provide center -based services for disabled and non -disabled chil- dren under age 2. No other such resource exists, for disabled children. Center - based care for any child disabled or not under the age of 2 is inadequately provided for in this area. -3- I -, HANDICANE INC.

Madison Street ii (319) 353.5265 1 all October 3, 1984 I� lD Vice -President Hubbard Jessup Hall I' Student Services Is Dear Mr. Hubbard: I* The Women's Transit Authority Is a project that has the full endorsement lit and support of the Women's Resource and Action Center. 1 believe It to be well I* researched and clearly planned. A similiar project, which is serving as a model, has efficiently and successfully operated in Madison, Wisconsin for the past I: eleven years. It Violence towards women is a very serious Issue for all women. In particular, the recent rise of sexual assault in the Iowa City area is of special concern to t University women. Supporting the WTA is a clear step in affirming the University of Iowa's commitment to address the.problem of sexual assault and harassment ' in productive and effective ways. Women have long been denied simple, everday mobility. A service, such as the WTA, would provide women with safe, reliable means of transport in our community. I believe it is also important to consider the impact violence has on access to education. Adrienne Rich writes in her well known essay, "Taking Women Students Seriously": "The undermining of self, of a woman's sense of her right to occupy space and walk freely in the world, is deeply relevant to education. The capacity to think Independ- ently, to take Intellectual risks, to assert ourselves mentally, is inseparable from our physical way of being in the world, our feelings of personal Integrity. If it is dangerous for me to walk home late of an evening from the library, because I am a woman and can be raped, how self-possessed, how exuberant can I feel as I sit working in that library? how much of my working energy is drained by the subliminal knowledge that, as a woman, I test my physical right to exist each time I go out alone?" The value of the WTA is not only In the actual services It provides. A project designed and Implemented by women, which directly empowers women, is bound to have far reaching positNe effects. I truly believe the WTA Willi serve as an Inspiration for many women at the University of Iowa and the surrounding community. In summary, I actively encourage your full support of the Women's Transit Authority. Sincerely, • S„.� Susan Buckley Coordinator d11U 130 N.

Miller, Coordinator Business Phone 319-353-6209 T0: Whom it may concern I am writing to express my enthusiasm for the proposed Iowa City Women's Transit Authority Project. We have seen a pressing need for this type of service from a large numbeP of women over the past few years. We have encouraged women to work their schedules so that they walk with others, line up rides ahead of time, and take numerous prevention measures. Many women have done all of these things but these efforts have fallen short. Women have found themselves having to walk at night alone out of necessity . In an effort to allow women greater safety while living their lives, a committee from the RVAP has been formed. This committee is composed of women who have a lot of energy, knowledge and experience around the Issues of sexual' abuse and Its prevention. I have watched this committee work and prepare the proposal for this program. I am confident they have done extensive research and information -gathering and they have spent many hours planning and tailoring a program that will be cost-effective, efficient, and serve the needs of this community. I view a program such as this as a very positive attribute to a city like Iowa City. This type of program, as does the existence of the Rape Victim Advocacy Program sends a message that this community cares about the safety and well-being of Its citizens. It acknowledges that sexual abuse can and does happen and that we are taking every effort to reduce the risks to women and children. I see this program as offering an opportunity to volunteer to many women who may be uncomfortable doing emergency advocacy but still are interested in working with the prevention of sexual abuse. For the above reasons, I encourage this entire community to support this effort In every way possible, Thank you for your time and consideration. 7 •Advocacy Sinc�erelly,,4KV+.. �'�`'j0" • Information Karla S. Miller AUNITEDWAY • Support Coordinator AGENCY Domescic Violence Project P.O. Box 733 �. Iowa City, IA 52244 October 8, 1984 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing in support of the Women's Transit Authority Project. I have reviewed the proposed policies and procedures and believe this to be a well thought out proposal. In my work at the DVP and also with the Rape �+ Victim Advocacy Program, I have had frequent contact with women who find their safety jeopardized because their access to transportation was limited by lack of money, location, or time of day ride is needed. I believe i� this program will offer women an important alternative. The DVP provides safe shelter to battered women and their children. We work with students and women in the community who report that their partners threatened their safety either by abusing them in the car, being too intoxi– cated to drive safely, or by attempting to hit them with the car if they �+ chose to walk. I believe that these women often found themselves with no r, other means of transportation available. We also have contact with women who are dating men where they run into the same kinds of problems. While clearly, safe transportation is only one need, it is avital one in women getting to the safety of their homes or other shelter. I believe that programs like the -Women's Transit Project are important '-' not only to the safety of individual women, but also in making a statement in the community. The statement that is made by our support of such a program is that women have a right to be safe and that it is the community's responsibility to create a safe environment. Much has been done in this community to provide services to women. Too often, those services are for women who have already been hurt. I think this Is an important component in an effective community prevention program. I hope that you will lend your assistance and support to the women organizing this project. I hope that you will contact me if I can*be of any further assistance. Thank you for your consideration. — Sincerely, Pat Meyer, Program Coordinator / ****from the Maoison, Wisconsin training Manual (3 pages) PURPOSE NTA, a community feminist organization, offers a free, nighttime ride service for women, provided by women. Its purpose is to help prevent sexual assault and harassment on the city streets and to increase women's mobility by providing a safe alternative to walking, hitchhiking, or restricting ones travel out of fear of assault. In Madison (as in most, if not all, U.S. communities), women have special difficulties meeting their needs for safe, convenient, and inexpen- sive transportation. Buses run less frequently in the evening hours and not at all past certain hours; bus stops are often several or more blocks from a woman's location or hone. The high cost of taxis for all but infrequent uasage and short distances renders their use prohibitive for most women. Many women cannot afford to own their own cars and do not have access to family cars. Young women and elderly women, also vulnerable to sexual assault, might not have driver licenses. In response to the pervasive danger and limitations women experience in traveling, WTA exists to offer a safe and reliable, though limited, ride service and is committed to making its service known and available to as many women who need it and can be served. WTA's organizational structure reflects the fact that it is an alternative service: Transit is a non-hierarchical, collectively -operated organization. - Continuoos efforts are made to involve each member as an integral, equal part of the decision-making process. Weekly meetings are open to all members. The members of WTA have chosen to restrict the role of men in the service since its inception, for reasons of principle, practicality, preference, and safety. Operating a service for women by women generates a special strength, independence, and excitement not found elsewhere. But, and perhaps most importantly, by not allowing men to drive its cars or staff its phones, WTA maximizes the safety of both the women who use the service and of those who operate it. This is not to say that WTA does not value, appreciate, and encourage the efforts of men to eradicate sexual assault and men's concern for women's safety. Indeed, there are many constructive and crucial actions men can take to combat sexual assault. Within WTA, men may become involved in fund-raising, publicity, community relations and outreach. Outside of WTA, any step taken that breaks down sexism, sex4ole stereotyping, misogyny, violence, and all that fosters and condones it, is a step taken towards stopping rape. 1.4 Ii HISTORY The Women's Transit Authority was started in the spring of 1973 during a conference organized by the Madison Coalition Against Rape to address the ' growing problem of sexual assault in Madison. Concerned community women, using their own cars, organized a ride service which was staffed out of the Madison Women's Center and supported by ,donations from women using the 1n service. Accused by local taxi companies of operating an unlicensed gypsy cab service and encountering insurance problems arising from the use of private automobiles, WTA closed temporarily in June of 1973, After much consideration within WTA of the benefits and limitations of i University sponsorship, the. service reopened in the autumn of 1973 with fiscal support of the University of Wisconsin's Protection and Security Is Department (PAS). Two fleet cars, two-way radios, office space, a telephone, and furniture were supplied by PAS. In order to operate University vehicles, all WTA drivers were required to take a National Safety Council la defensivedrivin9rInitially, daneciace _quencybut roseover radio use eessttedtheuse of It another frequency and WTA was put on the U.W. grounds maintenance department's frequency, which is still being used today.

STRI101PE OF MTA The structure of !lumen's Transit Authority may be best understood if it is perceived of net Boardrof Directors andtPaid Staffr.eEach compo ent hassitseownldecision`makingrprocess), and areas of responsibility. All of the components are vital parts of the organization and depend on good communication between them for IRA to function smoothly. Advisory Board is the vehicle for volunteer decision-making within UTA. Advisory Board 1s open to all active volunteers and each volunteer has a vote at the meetings. Advisory ?oard meets monthly and is organized by volunteers by shift on a rotating basis. Advisory Board's primary areas of responsibility are issues concerning the direct service, boundaries and ridership. Advisory Board can also consider any issues brought to it by the Board of Directors or the paid staff. Decisions are made by "artha's Rules which is a method similar to consensus. The Board of Directors is a body of nine people elected by the volunteers, staff and Board members. The Board meets monthly and makes decisions by majority rule. One seat on the Board is held specifically by an active volunteer, named as the volunteer llason. This seat is elected each year while the other eight seats are held for two year terms.Volunteers are free to run for any seat on the Board and are not restrictedoto on,ly the volunteer liason seat. Each Board member is respon- sible to sit on a joint standing committee and any other ad-hoc committee that she or he desires. An average of 4-6 hours of work on committees is expected per month for each Board member. The volunteer llason fulfills the work by attending Advisory Board monthly.

WTA is working to prevent sexual assaults that may omen when women walk alone or hitch hike at night, as well as to increase women's nobility at night. WFA is also dedicated to "&Sing community awareness about rape . prevention. Many women stay at home because of their fear d serval assault. They eam little more than half the average mak income and often cannot afford to own can or pay for tads. WTA operates to give women equal access to Madison's employment, educational, and cultural resources, without the fear of sexual assault. Since 1973, Women's transit has given safe rides to tens of thousands of women, every night of the year, from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. About 150 women vol- unteer drive and dispatch cans within an approxi- mate four mile radius of the state capitol building (see back panel for a map of the boundaries). In addition to the volum"r- raven WTA can, our volunteer dispatchers may use a limited num- , ben of cabs per night to handle the overflow of calls. The cabs wig be dispatched according to WIA's service criteria. Women requesting rides outside of WTA's boundaries, but still within Mad- ison City Units areellgnble for ab rides at the dis- cretion of the dispatches Women within WTA's boundaries who may be delayed over the average rider waiting time for that evening may be asked by she volunteer dispatcher 0 they would prefer f cab be sent. Ali high priority calls, i.e., women In danger, will still be handled by WTA can. As with WTAs regular service, the cabs will be free to the riders. Any woman can use the service, but groups of three or more women going to the same destina. tion should walk together or share ab fare. WTA gives special priority to women in dangerous situa- tions (waiting alone outside, being harassed or assaulted in their homes or on the street), and the service works In cooperation with related services such as the Rape Crisis Center and the Dane County Advocates for Battered Women. 70004L4A084-84 Women's Transit is a member of Aid to Wiscon. sin Organizations, a group of social service and social change agencies doing collective fundraising, and it receives other funding from the City of Madison and the University of Wisconsin. Another important source of funds Is individual donations, and each year contributions from women and men in Madison help keep WTA cars on the road, giving safe night time sides to women. U you can lend your support, please send your tax deductible contributions to: WOMEN'S TRANSIT AUTHORITY 306 NORTH BROOKS STREET MADISON, Wl33715 How To Volunteer Women's Transit Authority depends entirely on its dedicated volunteers, and new volunteers and substitutes arc always needed. Can, gas, mobile radios and a complete training session are pro- vided by WFA. We ask that volunteers make at Last a slot month commitment to work a four hour shift weekly or every other week. Volunteers can either drive can or dispatch calls from the night office. Driven' shifts arc: 6:15-11:00; 8:45-12:30 or 10:15.2:00. Dlspatchers' shuts are: 6:4511:(10 or 10:452:00. Volunteers on weekend or late shifts work every other week, and women on weekday earlier shifts work every week. New volunteers are trained in three sessions (about 11 hours). The first all -clay session coven bask operating procedures and policies, and WrKs purpose, history and structure. Trainees also learn from a simulated shift in the Fight office. In the second session, volunteers observe the 'service In operation for one shift. Then new volun- teem meet with a WTA coordinator to schedule regular shifts and review policies and terms of commitment. WTA needs your support. Volunteering is a good way to meet other women and to make Madison a safer place to live. Driving and dispatching is done only by women. WTA has received valuable support from men offering services to the office staff, insulating help or general consciousness raising among their men friends. Men interested in helping WTA should.mntact a coordinator at the number below.

I could not bring myself to recommend paving over our beautiful yard and so I advised the Committee on Human Needs that I would search the neigh- borhood for parking space that we might be able to buy. I found I� none. While looking for neighborhood parking we came upon a different li option: to buy the house next door at 507 E. College St. It has i more office space than the proposed addition and has sufficient parking. Our use of the property would meet the requirements of the Iowa City ordinance for its CB -2 zone. I I� it The purchase price of the property is $212,000. We are also re- questing an additional $15,000 needed for remodeling. The total cost of $227,000 is the same amount presented in our original application. The lower two levels of the house are accessible to the handicapped. Furthermore, more space would be provided than was described in our M original application. We believe that there would be space to rent out to one or two other human services agencies, depending upon their requirements. Mary Ann volm of United Way has assured us that there would be no lack of agencies interested in a downtown location. SERVING CEDAR, IOWA, AND JOHNSON COUNTIES ` a iio M.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION The following narrative describes the work to be accomplished in each phase of the project. Phase dl and Phase R2 are broken down into subgroups of work of a similar nature. In general, the work is listed in what Goodwill considers an order of priority, although some sequencing is unavoidable. — Phase N1 a. New insulated roof system over entire building, including removal of abandoned rooftop mechanical units. New and updated heating system and new make-up air ventilation system for the plant/warehouse area. $156,210 - b. New and replaced concrete for drives, parking and main office entrance. New asphalt at store entrance and east/west store parking areas. New store entrance, donation shelter and entrance, and security fence. Repair and replace damaged exterior wall panels. New canopy at office entrance. $ 49,125 c. New partitions for store and corridors with fire rated doors, walls and/or ceilings. New exit door for cafeteria and office wing. New emergency and exit lighting system. New store lighting. New partition, doors and floor covering for classroom. New air conditioning for store, corridors, office and classroom. Replace damaged interior metal wall panels throughout building. Relocate electrical panel from store to wall of electrical room and to new panels for kitchen area. $ 74,085 TOTAL PHASE R1 - $279,420 Phase q2 a. New and replacement plant offices and storage rooms, relocated processing and production areas with related electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Removal of obsolete partitions, steam pipes and duct work. Two new dock doors and door seals. Remodeling of men's and women's toilets. Floor covering in cafeteria, corridors and toilets. $131,150 b. New asphalt in north parking area and south truck area.. New exit, entrance and directional signs. Repair, move and electrify existing sign -at entrance. Provide additional lighting for north — parking area. New landscaping and sodding. $ 29,580 TOTAL PHASE N2 - $160,730 _ ll Attachment A Page 2 so Phase #3 �.a a. New plant warehouse addition, totaling 4,180 square feet, including mechanical and electrical. IJ TOTAL PHASE q3 - $160,000 It is hoped that we can complete all of Phase kl and Phase A2 over a two year period, 1985-1986. Timing for Phase N3 has not been established. We believe that breaking the work up into even smaller segments and stretching it out over a longer period of time would result in significantly higher construction costs for two reasons: 1) rise in basic construction costs due to inflation; 2) loss of economies of scale in smaller contracts. In addition, it would be unfortunate to delay the work further because it will provide increased opportunities for vocational services for clients and significant operating efficiencies, in particular, energy savings. While the two year period is an important factor in containing the overall costs of the project, some portions of each phase may be able to be shifted to another without significant impact on costs. For example, some of the interior work proposed for Phase R1 could be shifted to Phase 112. Much of the work, however, must be completed in a certain sequence to avoid undue interruption of ongoing operations or because of the nature of the work. BACKGROUND In 1967 Goodwill Industries purchased approximately four acres,of land on First Avenue and began construction of a 32,000 square foot building, which was completed in 1968. Initial cost of the land and building totaled $226,000. In 1971 a fire sprinkler system was added to the building at a cost of $14,600. With the realignment of First Avenue in 1975, $8,230 was spent on site improve- ments, including public sidewalk, retaining wall, entrance and exit curb cuts, and concrete ramps and drive. In 1983 the food service/kitchen area was re- novated and expanded at a cost of $39,380, of which $31,500 came from a CDBG grant through the City of Iowa City. Additional expenditures of about $22,000 have been made on improvements and major repairs other than maintenance items. A $202,500 mortgage was successfully negotiated in 1971, with the (then) three Iowa City banks taking equal shares in the mortgage. Terms of the mortgage called for annual payments of $10,125 toward principle, plus interest. Two capital fund drives were held, one in 1972 and one in 1976 td pay off the mortgage. Both fell short of goal, but reduced the mortgage balance to a level that could be kept current with internally generated funds. The last payment on the mortgage was made in August of this year. DESCRIPTION OF NEED Because of the shortage of initial construction funds, and because of the oppressive financial burden of servicing the mortgage, many "shortcuts" were taken to get the facility operational, and during its sixteen year life much needed repairs and improvements have been delayed or.done in a minimum cost manner. Example: ,,;,7 // a Attachment A Page 3 1. The entrance and exit ramps on First Avenue are twenty four feet wide. However, only twelve feet of concrete was put in each ramp, causing severe problems with potholes each spring and requiring sig- nificant maintenance costs in gravel and grading• and safety 2.

Fire and safety codes and standards have been upgraded in recent years. Exits, fire zone separations and exit paths need to be improved to assure the highest level of safety for our clients and la employees. I• These are the major facility problems that will be addressed by this I+ project. Many other needed, but less significant, improvements will also s be accomplished. The planned improvements will also help Goodwill maintain compliance with �E standards of the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Goodwill Industries has been accredited by CARF since 1911 and such accreditation is now mandated by the Iowa Department of Human Services. Our 1983 CARF Survey . a Report said the following about our Iowa City facilities: "Encouragement is offered to follow-through with plans for building expansion, thus allowing for improved production layout and work flow. The facility is encouraged to review the exit routes posted for clarity and make changes where appropriate... the facility is encouraged to carry out its plans to resurface the parking lot area at the Iowa City plant to further enhance accessibility." CONCLUSION In summary, the project will result in energy efficiencies, improved security, operating efficiency and accessibility, lower maintenance costs, — increased contract opportunities, and a safer, healthier work environment for Goodwill clients, staff and visitors. Finally, it will make a visible statement to disabled persons and the community at large that Goodwill clients are not second class citizens or workers who must "make do" with an inadequate work facility and environment. a// 6 Goodwill industries OF SOUTHEAST 10t,VgA, I410 FIRST 4\'E\Lt Nt1 BU\ Ih9h IO\\\CIF1 C`a4c 1"V E D _ NIiO�E 't I't14'al ;R I'_On 16TH AVENUE S.\\' CEDAR RAPIDS 10\'A 5_'4Wr'.a'fOt 4 1984 PHONE 13191 165-01175 P.P.D.

The gist of your questions, we think, was to determine the cost of the new roof and to suggest that only the roof be funded with CDBG funds. The architect did supply separate cost figures for the roof and for the heating/ventilation work, $143,986 for the roof and $12,224 for - the mechanical. As you can see, the roof makes up over 90% of the total for Phase pl.a. I— We are aware of the total amount of requests for 1985 CDBG funds and are certainly willing, as we have stated, to be as flexible as -. possible in the phasing of work. In that vein, funding of $156,210 for Phase ql.a. would be an acceptable "chunk" of the project for 1985. However, further reduction of our request is not advisable for two reasons: 1) The roof and mechanical work must be done together. Each heating unit must be vented through the roof. Since the plans call for adding, eliminating and/or changing the location of heating units, separating the work would result in more openings in the roof than are necessary, which would cause future problems with leaks and energy loss. In addition, the rooftop fresh air units are to be eliminated and an alternative ventilation system would be required. 2) We are not in a position to determine at - this time how much capital funding, if any, Goodwill will be able to allocate to the project in 1985. Since the roof and mechanical work must be accomplished together, it would not be prudent to commit unless funding for both is firmly in place. If additional funds are identified by the time we are ready to proceed early next year, we would like to use those funds to accomplish as much of the rest of Phase ql as we can. We appreciate the opportunity to apply for CDBG funds. CCN and _ the City of Iowa City should be commended for their willingness to OUR BUSINESS WORKS, SO PEOPLE CAN.

Description (Continued from Page 1) STUDY For the past eight months, a combined group of City Staff and Iowa City residents have been conducting a self assessment of the City of Iowa City's programs and facilities in terms of their accessibility i� to the handicapped. ' STRUCTURAL NEEDS The two major structural problems identified included the inaccessibility of most floors of the Civic Center to the handicapped or frail elderly and the absence of accessible restrooms in the Upper City Park/Pool.area. The request for an elevator and renovation of the restrooms in the Civic Center is being postponed until next year in hopes that a Civic Center addition will be come a reality and the $80,000 elevator and newly built accessible restrooms will be part of that project. However, if the addition — or similar renovation to meet this need is not in the plans by next year, we would anticipate' making application for the elevator and restroom' renovation at that time. Upper City Park currently has outdoor restrooms as part of the pool facil- ity which are incapable of being made accessible. Restrooms inside the swimming complex are accessible and are adequate for those who are swim- - . ming. However, when disabled persons use Upper City Park accessible shelters, playground eqipment, or Children's Museum, they now would either have to enter the pool area to use restrooms in the locker room (complicated by _ the fapt that you must pay to entery or, when the pool is closed they must negotiate getting to the restroom in Lower City Park. The fact that out- door restrooms are available for the able-bodied in Upper City Park dis- criminates against the disabled who are required to travel quite a distance to use a restroom, when they are least able to do so. o2//D This was a requirement of Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act and all U.S. cities receiving over $25,000 in Revenue Sharing Funds is were required to complete this assessment by October 17, 1986. The City's Section 504 Compliance Committee included the following citizen members: r+ Mona McElderry Maris Snider, Johnson County Citizens Committee for the Handicapped Sandy Vaughan, Association for Retarded Citizens Andrew Noor, Hawkeye Chapter -United Blind of Iowa Michael Townsend, Goodwill Industries Sharon Van Meter, U. of I. Office of Handicapped Services David Armand !+ Jane Kelleher, Miss Deaf Iowa r Their study is now completed and has been approved by Council. Non- structural changes recommended totaling $10,690 are to be completed by �+ October 17, 1984. Structural changes totaling $156,216 had to be outlined + in a Transition Plan together with dates for completion. All structural changes must be completed by October 17, 1986 or Revenue Sharing Funds are lost. i, Nonstructural and structural costs plus the cost of City labor will total $196,906. The City General Fund balance will fund $71,906 of this combined total.

Description (Continued from Page 1) Y1 V NEED The twelve agencies. joining together in this request serve some 20,000, Iowa City, and 25,000, Johnson County residents; 13,334 are low moderate income from Iowa City. Two major areas of client need would be addressed by combining the agencies listed on the attached page into one location. First, clients needing emer- gency assistance - shelter, food, transportation, medicines - would be better served by the Crisis Center, Red Cross, and HACAP offices being in the same building. Currently, these people with the fewest resources are sent all over town in a frustrating search for service. Second, youth serving agencies would come together in one location, thus allowing these agencies to work more closely together in planning and implementing a full array of services for youth including: counseling, employment, residential treatment, delinquency prevention, and single parent family support. _ This consolidation would also provide totally accessible space in a centralized location, downtown. The project would aid in revitalizing the downtown and restoring an older, potentially, historical site. In addition, some $40,000 in agency rents can be saved. Utility and maintenance costs can be shared and reduced. Shared printing, reception, phone coverage, purchasing, equipment usage, etc., can give additional cost savings through consolidation. All of this would increase small agency stability and provide better service coverage. Two developers are currently interested in renovating and selling two or more floors of older buildings they are developing. (Paul -Helen Building and the old Elk's Building) A request for proposal would be submitted to these and any other interested developers for information regarding all project aspects. The project site would.then be recommended by the Steering Committee for discussion at a joint City/County meeting.

Monica Moen, Community from. Rick Ertz, Program Supervisor Assistant Coordinator re: Creative Arts Troupe Proposal date: October 5, 1984 In response to the questions of the Committee on Community Needs, the Creative Arts Troupe (CAT) will consist of 75 handicapped citizens of the Iowa City Community. More specifically, mentally retarded, multiple handicapped and physically disabled individuals will be afforded weekly opportunities to participate, experience and develop skills in the fine arts. This project will involve participants in drama, dance, and music three times a week for one hour sessions. Project CAT will not duplicate current programs offered by the Iowa City Recreation Division, Special Populations Involvement (SPI) program. A more comprehensive program and•indepth instruction in fine arts will result from project CAT than what is presently available through SPI. No other community agencies, to our knowledge, provide such fine art programs for the handicapped in Iowa City or Johnson County. As stated in the proposal, eight (8) community performances will culminate from project CAT. The principle benefits participants will derive are improved fine arts talents and abilities, increased self-esteem, greater knowledge of life long leisure activities and opportunities to socialize and interact with other participants and the general public. Attached is the proposed budget for•project CAT. It breaks down expenditures and estimates costs. I hope the information above and attached clarifies the questions the committee members had in regards to project CAT. If there are further questions, please do not hesitate to call.

Name of proposed project: Longfellow Playground Equipment 2. Description: to continue the development and improvement of the Longfellow Playground. (Please see attached.) mm 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. The Longfellow School Playground serves as a neighborhood park for — the Creekside Neighborhood. The playground is used heavily by the neighborhood children after school, on the weekends, and during the summer. Families with children not yet in school frequently come to the playground. According the the 1980 census data, from 41% to 50% of the residents in this area are low and moderate income. Of the 221 students at Longfellow, 16% participate in the free and reduced _ hot lunch program at the school. In 1978 CDBG 'funds were used to begin development of the Longfellow _ Playground. At that time, a survey showed that 36% of the residents favored a mini -park with benches, landscaping, and playground equipment. In 1984 the PTA replaced the slide with a new, lower and safer model. We, the Longfellow PTA, would like to continue to develop and improve this playground. Residents and parents in the.neighborhood have con- tinued to express interest and support of this project. Specific areas of concern are the following: 1. The construction of more apartments in the Dodge Street area has affected that neighborhood. Oak Grove Park, once used mostly by younger children, is now often used by college- age adults. Many parents are reluctant to have their children play at, that park now. Also, the traffic on Dodge Street hes increased, making it more difficult and dangerous to cross to _ the park. Many of the families who live east of Dodge Street are more likely to use Longfellow Playground. 2. Many families with young children come to Longfellow, but there is little play equipment appropriate and safe for chil- dren ages 2 to 4. We would like to add a piece of play equip- ment with low platforms, a gently sloping slide, a low balance beam, etc. that can be used not only by younger children, but also by children in grades K - 3. (Please see picture) 3. For reasons of comfort and cleaniness, we would like to have a park bench and trash can installed. These should be the type that can be anchored to the ground.

The funds requested are to support the expansion of the neighborhood playground at Longfellow School. This area serves a great number of pre-school children in the school neighborhood. Since our present play- ground equipment was erected for the older school. age child, the new equipment would better meet the needs of the pre-school child. Our participation in this program several years ago allowed us to meet some of the needs for older children and the older residents in the neighborhood have enjoyed the plantings and flowers in the mini -park. We look forward to the prospects of expanding and sharing these facilities to better serve the residents of our school neighborhood and community. Sin rely, es D.

DESCRIPTION (From Page 1) Therapeutical Whirlpool Facility This request is for funds for a new project to build an above the ground whirlpool. Currently there is no pool in the City with water warm enough for comfortable use by many physical handicapped citizens and seniors. This facility would be available for therapeutical uses for the handicapped as well as other community members. At present, the City Recreation Center pool temperature is 810 which is too cold for many physical handicapped citizens and seniors. The whirlpool would be located at the Recreation Center. The portable pool lift that the Recreation Center is purchasing would make the whirlpool accessible. GOAL Provide aquatic therapeutical benefits to disabled.

Dennis E. Showalter Raising Pool Temperatures and re. Installing Whirlpool at the date: October 1, 1984 Recreation Center The temperature at the indoor pool is maintained at 810, or as close as we can get to that, on a year-round basis. We have man different and diverse groups using the pool --this temperature is a comprse in an attempt to best serve everyone. Some groups --swim teams, the Swim Club, and some lap swimmers, would like to see us lower the temperature. Other groups --senior citizens and some people with disabilities, would like to see us raise the temperature. It would cost $1,600.33 per year to raise the water temperature to 860, plus an additional $450 for extra chemicals, or $2,050.33 total cost. There is not a desirable place to install a whirlpool at the indoor pool. The.best place is in the northeast corner of the pool, close to the baby pool. The least expensive product available for an above ground, portable spa with a 5-6 person capacity and four water jets is $3,700 installed. Maintenance costs would be $4,747.10 per year. In regard to accessibility, an above ground pool is not accessible because steps are required to enter. A chair lift system could be purchased. Some developmentally disabled persons would require constant supervision. If we were to go to an in -ground whirlpool, the estimated cost would be approximately $24,000, broken down as follows: 1. Pool - Recreonics Corporation Stainless steel tank 6' x 10', 8-9 person capacity 10 hydro therapy inlets, approximately 1,000 gallon gas heater $11,000 2. Pump/filter/heater 4,000 3.

Labor 5 000 Total $24,000 Operating costs would be approximately the same as for an above ground installation. city of iowa city A110 I3 City Manager and City Council I October 1, 1984 Page two {2 The Engineering Division recommends the northeast corner of the pool to locate the whirlpool. The deck space is wider and there is access to water, II •drainage, electricity and exhaust. A gas line would need to be installed. According to the plans, the pool deck is 4" deep with support material beneath. The deck does get thicker against the wall and next to the pool. to There is a metal mesh reinforcing the concrete. Engineering was unable -to determine the location of the existing joints in the deck. The deck could break up more than desired by not knowing or follow- -� ing the joint locations. They were also concerned with the windows off the game roam and the tile around the baby pool. They felt these areas could be disturbed when cutting through the deck. If the project is completed, there is a concern about the safety of the children using the baby pool. Whirlpools are one-two feet deeper than the baby pool. With the best possible location for the whirlpool practically adjacent to the baby pool, a barrier system is recommended. Below are excerpts from a 1984 memo from the State Health Department: 1. Whirlpools are not a common facility at community recreation centers.. They are at hotels/motels, health clubs and spas. 2. At high temperatures, water disinfectants (chlorine) are much - less effective. Levels of di silcrequiremetant nts(3PPM aremuch higher than "normal" swimming poo opposed to 1PPM). 3. The temperatures provide a much more conducive environment to breed and spread certain infections. 4. The State Health Department has found infections transmitted by whirlpools/jacuzzis in the state of Iowa this year, although not at a community recreation facility. Attached onal Spa and Institute.

The subject property is in a very dilapidated condition. It is not economically feasible to rehabilitate the house; located in the Ralston — Creek floodway. A concrete retaining wall on the bank of Ralston Creek (rear property line of 11 S. Johnson Street) has fallen into the creek, resulting in obstruction of the stream flow and bank erosion. It is proposed that the property be acquired, the house demolished, and lot cleared. The City's Public Works Department may then repair the retaining wall and restabilize the creek bank. Because the house is tenant occupied, the City would provide relocation benefits in accordance with federal law. The project has been requested in the past and is consistent with the — Ralston Creek Watershed Management Plan. — Project Goal: Eliminate neighborhood slum and blight. _ Objectives: 1. Purchase a slum and blighted property. 2. Relocate tenant(s) to decent, safe, and sanitary housing consistent " with their needs. 3. Demolish and clear a house in slum condition. — 4.

The Ralston Creek Park project (map attached) is intended to serve as a neighborhood open space in an area dominated by high-density residential development. The property under consideration is currently used as an auto body shop, a use incompatible with the residential uses which surround it on three sides. The shop cannot expand nor can it be converted to other uses since it currently is non -conforming under the Flood Hazard Overlay zone provisions. The most appropriate use for the property is as open space given the environmental constraints to its development. As open space, this property would provide an amenity in an area populated by students, many of whom have low to moderate incomes, and would enhance the 'revitalization of a part of the downtown which until recently has suffered from blight and deterioration. This project has not been reviewed by the Parks and Recrea- tion Commission. h 02 / /o 24.

Miller, Coordinator Iowa City, Iowa 52242 Business Phone 319-353-6209 September 19, 1984 T0: Whom it may concern I am writing to express my enthusiasm for the proposed Iowa City Women's Transit Authority Project. We have seen a pressing need for this type of service from a large number of women over the past few years. We have encouraged women to work their schedules so that they walk with others, line up rides ahead of time, and take numerous prevention measures. Many women have done all of these things but these efforts have fallen short. Women have found themselves having to walk at night alone out of necessity . In an effort to allow women greater safety while living their lives, a committee from the RVAP has been formed. This committee is composed of women who have a lot of energy, knowledge and experience around the Issues of sexual abuse and its prevention. I have watched this committee work and prepare the proposal for this program. I am confident they have done extensive research and information -gathering and they have spent many hours planning and tailoring a program that will be cost-effective, efficient, and serve the needs of this community. I view a program such as this as a very positive attribute to a city like Iowa City. This type of program, as does the existence of the Rape Victim Advocacy Program sends a message that this community cares about the safety and well-being of its citizens. It acknowledges that sexual abuse can and does happen and that we are taking every effort to reduce the risks to women and children. I see this program as offering an opportunity to volunteer to many women who may be uncomfortable doing emergency advocacy but still are interested in working with the prevention of sexual abuse. For the above reasons, I encourage this entire community to support this effort in every way possible. Thank you for your time and consideration. a Sincerely_i M NOV 5 1984 • Advocacy i�`' MARIAN K.

I believe it to be well ect, which is haseeff cientlydandasuccessfully operatedlanned. A iin Mad son, Wisconsin efornthe past as a model, eleven years. Violence towards women is a very serious issue for all women. In particular, the recent rise of sexual assault in the Iowa City area is of special concern to University women. Supporting the 'WTA assault and harassment the University of Iowa's commitment to address the.problem of sexual in productive and effective ways. Women have long been denied simple, everday mobility. A service, such as the WTA, would provide women with safe, reliable means of transport in our community. I believe it is also important to consider impactthe ey issai,e has on access to "Taking Women StudentsiSeriou Seriously"; Rich writes in her well known "The undermining of self, of a woman's sense of her right to occupy space and walk freely in the world, is deeply relevant to education. The capacity to think independ- ently, to take intellectual risks, to assert ourselves mentally, is inseparable from our physical way of being in, the world, our feelings of personal integrity. If it is dangerous for me to walk home late of an evening from the library, because I am a woman and can be raped, how self-possessed, how exuberant can I feel as I sit working in that library? how much of my working energy is drained b ihe smial ublthtnto exist knowledge that, as a woman, I test my physical 9 each time I go out alone?" The value of the WTA is not only in the actual services it provides. A project designed and implemented by women, which directly empowers women, is bound to have far reaching positive effects. I truly believe the WTA wiill serve as an Inspiration for many women at the University of Iowa and the surrounding community. In summary, I actively encourage your full support of the Women's Transit Authority. Sincerely, Susan Buckley Coordinator Domestic Violence Project P.O. Box 733 Iowa City, IA 52244 October 8, 1984 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing in support of the Women's Transit Authority Project. I have reviewed the proposed policies and procedures and believe'this to be a well thought out proposal. In my work at the DVP and also with the Rape victim Advocacy Program, I have had frequent contact with women who find their safety jeopardized because their access to transportation was limited by lack of money, location, or time of day ride is needed. I believe this program will offer women an important alternative. The DVP provides safe shelter to battered women and their children. We work with students and women in the community who report that their partners threatened their safety either by abusing them in the car, being too intoxi- cated to drive safely, or by attempting to hit them with tfie car if they chose to walk. I believe that these women often found themselves with no other means of transportation available. We also have contact with women who are dating men where they run into the same kinds of problems. While clearly, safe transportation is only one need, it is a vital one in women getting to the safety of their homes or other shelter. I believe that programs like the'Women's Transit Project are important not only to the safety of individual women, but also in making a statement in the community. The statement that is made by our support of such a program is that women have a right to be safe and that it is the community's responsibility to create a safe environment. Much has been done in this community to provide services to women. Too often, those services are for women who have already been hurt. I think this is an important component in an effective community prevention program. I hope that you will lend your assistance and support to the women organizing this project. I hope that you will contact me if I can'be of any further assistance. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Pat Meyer, Program Coordinator �oIEM NOV 5 1984 MARIAN K. KARR CIN CLERK (3) q The Melrose Lake Area is currently zoned RM -12. It is bordered on the north and west by University Heights. The eastern border (Brookland Park) is zoned Rs 5. One half of the southern border (Tower Court area) is zoned RS 5. The other half of the southern border (Oakcrest Street) is zoned RM 44. Access to the area is through the Woodside Drive area, which is zoned RS 8. Briefly, our major concerns are: 1) Traffic congestion and safety hazards created by an inadequate street system. Traffic congestion and the inadequate street system in this area have been recognized as major concerns of the city. Past city planner Richard Royce had openly stated that multi -family zoning was inappropriate for this area as local traffic circulation patterns are not suited for the increased traffic flow. Presently, there is only one access, Woodside Drive, to this RM 12 area. An early developer of the tract, Bob Thompson, would have been required to provide a second access re -connecting Woodside Drive to Oakcrest, had he developed the land. This street plan was denanded "to prevent further congestion on an admittedly inadequate street system." Iowa _Qty Pr as Citizen, July 5, 1972. Future multi -family development presents even greater traffic safety problems. Neighborhood residents are very concerned over this because these streets serve single family hones and duplexes. Roosevelt Elementary School, Beverly Manor Nursing Hone and Oaknoll Nursing Hone are located in this area. The increased traffic that would be forced to travel these roads due to the one road access would present a tremendous safety hazard for the small children, elderly, and other neighbors. 2) Current density allowances have created a lack of open space. The lack of open space in this neighborhood has long been recognized. According to the 1984 Neighborhood Open Space Plan, the Melrose Lake area district suffers from an 11.26 acre deficit of open space. The concern for retaining open space in this area dates back to the early 701s: The Parks and Recreation Commission recognized "the desirability of retaining open space in the densely populated apartment district where the lake is located." Iowa City Press Ci i n, May 15, 1972. Johnson Co. Regional Planning Director, Robert Hilgenberg, stated "There is a 'compelling need for an open space contiguous to this densely populated area.'"

Due to the above-mentioned problems, and the resultant detrimental effects on the local aesthetic qualities and neighborhood character, property values can be expected to decline. Our Emest This area is presently zoned at the maximum density allowed by the Comprehensive Plan. As a solution, we request that this area be rezoned to RS -12. According to Associate Planner Marianne Milkman, this would decrease the effective density of the area by allowing only single family and duplex dwellings. This will alleviate the previously mentioned problems and would be compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood.

It will eventually provide high leafing shade which will be a boon in summer. Multiple stemmed specimens will provide a little more screening. Zumi crabs, while attractive in the spring, would not give the shade to the upper floors. North Side: Because of the narrow space, I think the columnar rubrum maple is to be preferred for all three locations. West Side: Instead of red spirea, consider the possibility of carrying the broadmoor junipers all.across the front. This would 'complement the handsome baseline of the building but not hide it and (the juniper) has a formal aspect that harmonizes with the nature of the building. The spirea, while attractive in milder seasons, is very brushy in winter and would not offer the consistency of texture and color that evergreens provide. The evergreens would also unify the south side plantings. Clark is to be complimented on his exemplary effort to provide a very attractive building and to provide a tastefully landscaped setting. /s/Nancy Seiberling bjl/10 a ii.s ity of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: October 17, 1984 To: Design Review Committee From: *M Hauer Re: Proposal for a Covered Entryway to 109 East College Street (Vanessa's) Jim Mondanaro, owner of Vanessa's, proposes to erect a canvas covered entryway awning covered entryway for Vanessa's. Its design is a metal pole structure fastened into the City Plaza with gray canvas sections covering the pole structure. Under the present City Plaza ordinance, proposals such as this may be considered as a building front extension. The criteria by which this proposal should be judged is attached to this memo. As you may recall, City Council indicated this summer its desire to have no private building structures situated or extended onto the City Plaza. Their decision was based on retaining as much space as possible for pedestrian use and a desire not to intrude into the plaza. The owner has said he would like this awning because it would act as a wind break and provide a unique identity to the building.

College St. IOWA•ILLINOIS GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY IOWA cm, IOWA October 9, 1984 Mr. Frank Farmer, Engineer City of Iowa City 410 E. Washington Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Franks Several weeks ago Ken Taube and I met with you to discuss our plans to install a duct system along Iowa Avenue from Clinton Street to Dubuque Street. I've attached three (3) copies of our proposed construction and reference drawings for your review. To help you when reviewing the drawings, this letter will briefly describe our plans. If you feel the City should be more involved with this project, please proceed with obtaining the necessary approvals. We propose starting construction in the Spring, 1985. I. Blind Block Load Growth City Block 80, called the "Blind Block" due to the single access alley, has experienced electrical problems for several years. Last year, due to the fire in the WGN Building at 15 Dubuque Street, we were able to remove some of the electrical load from the alley system. We placed a padmounted transformer along the west side of Dubuque Street to serve the new WGN Building and a portion of the southeast corner of the block. The area served by this transformer is highlighted on one of your prints. Earlier this year, we were notified that the Dey Building would rewire to a larger service size. Due to various easement and design problems in the alley, we proposed to serve this building from the front along Iowa Avenue in an underground duct. In doing this, we again remove electrical load from the rear overhead system and add load to the expan- ding downtown underground system. IMLOIWEAWSMTNE PMO BOX 1269 IOW. CITY q A. 211 P, E3I91 9751 2 //7 - 2 - With the proper duct design, the Dey Building and the Beat Steak House Building could be removed from the rear system at this time. Eventually, as the other businesses along Iowa Avenue expand and rewire, these would also be served from the new duct system. For example, if the Seiferts Building is sold and they rewired next year to a larger service, they too could be served from the front after a short duct extension on Clinton Street. IZ. Existing Duct System The rear overhead system amounts to platform -mounted transformers with overhead services and lift poles in the alley. The transformers are fed through an existing duct system. These ducts run from the transformer platform . structure through the alley entrance to manhole 113. From M.H. 113, the ducts head east across Dubuque Street. This existing system is shown on your prints. When the new duct system is installed, the spare ducts available in the exist- ing system would be used to feed the new system on Iowa Avenue. III. Proposed Duct System The new system will be constructed to the same standards as the rest of the Urban Renewal system. The ducts will be concrete -encased PVC conduits and include some spares for future use. Three (3) new manholes will be required, one about mid -block on Iowa Avenue, one in the intersection of Iowa Avenue and Clinton Street, and one next to one of the proposed transformer locations. These manholes and the connecting ductwork is highlighted on your attached prints. The installation of the new duct work is proposed in stages to minimize the inconvenience of the businesses along Iowa Avenue. The ducts as shown on your prints will be constructed in the existing driving lane of Iowa Avenue. With the proper barracading and coning, truck (delivery) traffic could still use the parking area during construction. Alternately, when we need to construct in the parking area, the driving lane along the curb will be open to deliveries. our immediate need is to serve the Dey Building. Ducts from the transformer at Iowa Avenue and Clinton Street to the basement of the Dey Building in the northeast corner are proposed. The Best Steak House would be served from the transformer at Iowa Avenue and Dubuque Street, to manhole 113, then through existing service ducts to the building. o2/i 7 - 3 - The remainder of the duct system is to provide future services to the rest of the businesses along Iowa Avenue. It has not yet been decided whether we'll actually complete ducts beneath the sidewalks for these future customers or whether we'll stub ducts at the curb line. These stubs could later be extended at the time the businesses rewire. The City proposes to repave Clinton Street from Iowa Avenue to Washington Street in 1985. If the Seiferts Building is sold and commits to rewiring their building before the paving is started, we'll probably design ducts along Clinton Street to serve them also. IV. Proposed Transformer Locations I mentioned earlier these locations. As shown on your prints, we've chosen to locate the transformers in the median area near the landscaped corners. This design assumes the use of one parking stall per transformer. The transformer would face away from the landscaping towards the street. Protective posts would be installed along the side and in front of each transformer to allow either motorcycle or bicycle parking in the remainder of the stall. No cars however could be allowed In front of the transforme: We discussed earlier the possiblility of placing the transformer in the landscaped areas. This option would tend to draw more attention to the transformers. By placing these units at street level, we would minimize the visual impact. This is the reason we chose not to place transfromers on the sidewalks. The padmounted transformers would be similar in color and size to the one in front of 15 Dubuque Street or in front of the new bank addition on Clinton Street. They would be hidden by parked cars most of the time since their location is next to metered parking. NOTE: Because our construction schedule is planned for next Spring, we have time to discuss these plans and revise them if necessary. In order to complete the design and prepare specifications for the work however, we need your approval no later than December 1, 1984.

Re: Taft Speedway Sanitary Sewer Assessment Project The river corridor trunk sewer was extended from the Wastewater Treatment Plant to the intersection of Taft Speedway and Dubuque Street in 1981 to serve, in part, the area north of Kimball Road and east of the Iowa River. Iowa City's Wastewater Facility Plan recommended that a sanitary trunk sewer be extended west from the corridor sewer along Taft Speedway. During the detailed design, a 36 inch sewer was determined to be the optimum size to serve the existing and future area developments. The Evangelical Free Church desires sewer service, as would be provided by the Taft Speedway sewer, by February 15, 1985. To provide the Evangelical Free Church sewer service by the date requested, the following schedule has been set up: November 6, 1984: - Preliminary Resolution and Aesolution of Necessity. - Resolution fixing property values. - Resolution approving preliminary plans and specifica- tions. - Resolution approving the proposed Resolution of Neces- sity. - Resolution setting public hearing on plans and specifica- tions for December 4, 1984. December 4, 1984: - Public hearing on Resolution of Necessity. *Resolution adopting the Resolution of Necessity. - Resolution directing preparation of detailed plans and specifications. - Resolution ordering bids, approving plans and specifica- tions and setting public hearing date for plans and specifications. - Public hearing on plans and specifications. - Resolution approving plans and specifications and setting bid date for January 3, 1985. January 3, 1985: - Receive bids. 2 January 8, 1985: - Award contract. February 8, 1985: - Interim completion date for first 1,000 lineal feet of trunk sewer. March 20, 1985: - Construction completion date. *NOTE: The State Code of Iowa requires a six -of -seven affirmative vote of Council to approve the Resolution of Necessity for assessment projects, and a seven -of -seven (unanimous) affirmative vote of Council where a remonstrance has been filed with the City Clerk, signed by owners subject to 75% of the amount of the proposed assessment. The Resolution of Necessity for this project is cur- rently scheduled to be presented to the Council on December 4, 1984. The assessment limits for this project are Foster Road to the north, Dubuque Street to the east, the Iowa River to the south and the Foster Road -Taft Speedway connecting road to the west. The estimated project cost is $270,000. Of this cost the City will fund $86,500 and $183,500 will be assessed. The Engineering Division has prepared an assessment program with the City picking up the difference in material costs between an eight inch clay and a 36 inch concrete sanitary sewer. All costs not assumed by the City are assessed as a direct benefit to the affected properties. See attached assessment schedule. bdw4/2 Attachment November 6, 1984 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Councilpersons: We are submitting herewith estimated costs, assessment schedules and assessment plats for sanitary sewer improvements in Iowa City shown below.
