the,project.::This agreement appears 'on the agenda due to the recent
approval of the.Muscatine Avenue concept statement_by both:.the Federal

Sincethisdocument will bind the City to certain design. -considerations,
it is reasonable to assume that without the execution of the agreement,
approval of subsequent phases of the project would be withheld. The
estimated cost of the entire Muscatine Avenue project is -$550;000 and
_ is included in the FY 77 budget.

City Manager Neal Berlin introduced Don Zuchelli, President of
Zuchelli, Hunter and Associates, Inc., the Urban Renewal Con-
sultant selected by the Staff
viewed, and it was poi . The selection process was re-
nted out that the work program and sched-
uling had been discussed.
Mr. Zuchelli advised that he would be working with the staff
and pointed out that the Joint Contract, a work scope program,
would require functional tasks for Council to perform, as well
as for him to perform. There will be two basic issues for
Council in real estate negotiations, (1) those of a process
nature, including check -point meetings, and (2) discussion of
contractual negotiations in executive session.
The checkpoints include (1) two months to come up with a dis-
position procedure respecting both the Federal and State statutes,
(2) after testing acceptability of the procedure under State
statutes, (3) when moving toward releasing the appraisals for
re -use, (4) when bidding document (or Prospectus) is ready to
be issued, (5) at selection of preferred developer or developers,
endorsed by Council. Until Council selects a developer, meet-
ings will be in open session, then when negotiating with devel-
opers, meetings will be in closed session. The final document
is subject to public hearing. He advised that he would not be
responsible for making the financial concessions that would
have to be made, but would be acting as the Council's agent.

City Manager advised that in September Council would be dis-
cussing revenue sharing, and could discuss additional funds,
in relation to the fine raise.
Councilman Selzer suggested not adopting the Stormwater Manage-
ment Ordinance until the enf
. The Citorcement documents have been pro-
vided y Manager explained the reasoning behind using
this process. It was pointed out that Council is setting the
Policy, and the discussion was concerning the rules and regu-
lations on how the ordinance will be administered.
The City Manager was asked to bring up the matter of changing
the project from Riverside Drive to Rohret Road at the regular
meeting. It was noted that there was no emergency in making
the changes in the Municipal Campaign Financing law, but they
will have to be made. Councilman Balmer stated that he thought
that the criteria to set up the evaluation for the City Manager
was good, also the suggestion that the City Manager evaluate
the Council. Berlin asked for individual response from Council -
members.
After discussion of the sewer charges for the University, and
the University
t was th
consensus oftthe eCouncil, asquest for nrecommended escrow ebyeCity lAttorneyeHayek,
that the staff not spend time on the escrow agreement.
The City Manager reported that the staff is working on procedure
concerning the agreement regarding the Barker annexation.
AGENDA
Councilman Selzer questioned Item #18, the contract for remodel-
ing the police station, specifically concerning the ventilation
in the rifle range. The City Manager explained that OSHA had
questioned the ventilation in the Police pistol range, the Risk
Management group questioned the ventilation at the Recreation
rifle range. There was no detailed estimate of costs. If there
was to be an outdoor range there would be two problems, winter
weather and scheduling of shifts.
The scope of the Sunset Street project was also questioned by
Councilman Selzer- The Highway Commission previously indicated
that the interconnection of Sunset Street with Highway #1 was
part of the 518 Project. The Highway Department is trying to
bring about the disconnection of those, so that they can pro-
ceed with the acquisition of the right-of-way for the inter-
connection of Hwy. #1, cul-de-sacing the end of Wylde Green Road.
The City may have some financial commitment in conjunction with
this, but it will be primarily a state highway project. Use of
the $25,000 for another project was discussed.

Council Discussion
August 2, 1976
The City Manager explained the legal requirement that the
eligibility list for the firefighters be accepted by Council,
noting that there were no replacements. Concerning the annexa-
tion of 70 acres by Coralville, it was pointed out that this
land is in the flood plain. City Attorney -Hayek explained
that the agreement formalized the understanding we have with
Coralville concerning Iowa City's input on subdivision appli-
cations within our area of annexation,.although it is within
their two mile limit and vice versa. It also extends the agree-
ment for ten years, and extends the definition of the boundaries.
City Manager Berlin advised that he would answer the letter from
First Federal Savings and Loan concerning Block 103/3 and indi-
cate the process and timing of appraisals.
It was moved by Foster, seconded by Vevera to adjourn to execu-
tive session for discussion of (1) labor negotiation, (2) litiga-
tion concerning Epsteins, and (3) appointment to the Planning
and zoning Commission. Roll call: Ayes: Balmer, Foster, Neu-
hauser, Selzer, and Vevera. Motion carried, 5/0, deProsse and

h1INIh1UM 110USIN(; CODE FNFORCQfEhTf PROGRAM
SUhPdARY OF BRUCE BURKE'S pRE.SarrATION
August 4, 1976
The CDBG "stepped-up" code enforcement program began in February 1976 following
a month of training. The purpose of the program is to monitor housing conditions
as they relate to health and safety standards, and through preventing hazardous
deficiencies, to assure safe and sanitary
the center of the city surroundihousing. The project area is located in
ng the central business district (a map is attached),
The Minimum Housing Code is enforced through block by block, structure by structure
inspections. This program has been funded through Block Grant funds in both the
first and second year programs.
The inspectors are conscious of individual rights to privacy and try to be
courteous throughout all their activities. A typical inspection procedure includes
the following activities. First an initial notification card is left at structure
notifying the occupants that all structures within that area would be inspected
during the next two weeks, and that an appointment for inspection will be made with
the owner or occupant. During the inspection, deficiencies are identified and the
Potential health and safety hazards explained. Limited explanation of possible
remedies might be discussed in an effort to explain how the deficiencies might be
alleviated. After an inspection, a letter is sent to the structure owner listing
the deficiencies. Landlords are requested to bring the structures up to code if
their rental permit is to remain valid. Owner -occupied single-family dwellings
are only informed of the deficiencies but not required to make the improvements.
The first minimum housing ordinance was passed in 1965, but health and safety ordinances
governed housing standards before that. The city had two inspectors until the
current "stepped-up,, program began. Part of their salaries is funded from the $12,000
per year collected in rental permits. Three additional inspectors were added to the
staff in January, with salaries funded with 11CDA-CDBG funds, to staff a thorough
block by block inspection program and thus upgrade the housing (predominately
multi -unit) surrounding the downtown central business district.
CCN MEMBER CONCERNS VOICED:
* In general the
public has tolerated so many inspectors with varying degrees of
expertise and through unfavorable experiences are now leery of housing code
inspectors, especially since they recommend improvements that on some occasions
the residents cannot afford. (Hall)
* It has not been clear to thesingle-family
structures are not forced to maakelthe hsuggested iimenents.oc(Janiuk)
* There must be some special considerations for the low income families who will
be forced out of a hone because of deficiencies; a substandard house provides
more shelter than no house. (Stockman) Special individual circumstances are
evaluated and handled accordingly.
* It would be best if Council, the Housing
agree on the program scope and procedurs. Thesion lack of continuiand staff tydaddos tly
skepticism into the public's view of the program.

Coordinator's Report:
1. Fourteen applications were submitted for approval.
2• Iowa City was one of three cities chosen to have
the Fair Market Rents increased. The new Fair Market
Rents will be effective when published in the Federal
Register. The new rates are as follows:
Eff. 1 bdr. 2 bdr.
3 bdr. 4 bdr.
$135.
$166. $223.
$286. S306.
After publication in the Federal Register of the
new Fair Market Rents, the Housing Authority may apply
for another increase. At present, it is possible to
permit a 10% increase over the Fair Market Rent.
New Business:
The subject "area of operation" was discussed by the
Commission. Mrs. Branson indicated that the HUD office was
interested in local Housina Authorities covering multi -
jurisdictions.
aqencvThe state code and HUD Regulations will ooeratinq in areas outpermit one
provided e sidits own "a,: -e;.1 -Of operation"
provided the governing body of the other area approves.
This can be done thru Cooperative Agreement. The Low Rent
Housing Agency of Des Moines has Cooperative Agreements
with Polk County fcr unincorporated areas and the City of
West Des Moines.
The Pssbiliyexpanding itslareatOfooperationatolty includelallAOfhJohnson
County was discussed in detail. Some of the advantaqes are:
a. Families will have a wider choice of units
and probably lower rents.
b- More units are available
C. More families can be assisted without requiring
they move into the city limits of Iowa City.
d. There will be no direct cost to the City as
all costs for operating the program are paid by
the program.

Housing Commission Activities
June 16, 1976
The only disadvantage would be the increase in travel
time for the Housing Specialists and this was not considered
a -serious problem.
The Commission also discussed the possibility of making
Housing Assistance Payments on behalf of eligible student
families living in University owned units. The Housing
Coordinator indicated there was no known reason why this
could not be done. Mrs. Branson will discuss this on an
informal basis with University staff members. Seydel will
check further with HUD. It was felt, however, that only a
limited number of units be allocated for this prupose.
Reasoning behind this is to prevent all the city's units
being taken by students and thereby depriving the other low
income families. Some system would have to be devised
whereby the Financial Aids Office of the University would
select the families that would receive the assistance on the
basis of need.
It was moved by Hibbs and seconded by Fountain to
recommend to the City Council that the City of Iowa City
pursue Cooperative Agreements with Coralville, University
Heights and Johnson County and simultaneously pursue an
arrangement with the University of Iowa to make Housing
Assistance Payments through the Financial Aids Office.
At such time that it becomes clear which, if any, entities
in Johnson County wish to participate in the Housing Assistance
Payments Program through a Cooperative Agreement, the Housing
Commission intends to make a judicious allocation of units
for married students living in University owned housing.
Motion passed unanimously.
Hibbs moved that the meeting be adjourned. Lombardi
seconded the motion. Motion passed.

and request that Council approve the concept of Cooperative

culminate in a Cooperative Agreement for presentation to

b• Management Agreement - scheduled to be on the
Council Agenda Tuesday, July 13, 1976 with explanation

for the Managing Agent to perform the steps spelled out
by HUD and calls for Midstates to pay 58 of gross receipts
or roughly $800. per month to the agent for the performance
of these management functions.

d. University Housing - assistance payments to
married students. Hibbs suggested the Commission do
some serious thinking or writing of policy regarding
ways to approach "judicious allocation" of units to the U of I.
Feeling is that Housing Assistance Payments should be
concentrated first toward those families who appear
to be trapped on a long range basis in a certain socio-
economic group (low-income). Students are in a more
temporary situation and do have alternatives, such as
dropping out of school for a year for income purposes.
Hibbs will write up policy/philosophical stand regarding
this matter, to be discussed further at next HC meeting.

which was conducted on May 20, and May 21, 1976 was
discussed. According to the letter, only two items
should be considered when issuing a Certificate of
Eligibility: income and family composition. Seydel
stated that he is in favor of continuing to check into
the history of housekeeping habits of applicants. He
feels that owners expect issuance of certificates is a
kind of screening.

7. Craig Pastenow, 1207 Wylde Green Road.
Kenneth Lowder, 1211 Wylde Green Road, submitted petitions bearing the signatures
of approximately 112 people who oppose the proposed rezoning. Mr. Lowder
explained that there were two different petitions; one set was signed by
homeowners whose property either adjoins or is directly across from the
proposed rezoning area, and the other set was signed by homeowners who
reside in the immediate neighborhood but whose property is not contiguous
to the proposed rezoning. The petitions are on file in the Department of
Community Development.
Some of the reasons given for objecting to the proposed rezoning are as
follows:
1. I£ the area were rezoned, a subdivision progressing southward could
create smaller and smaller lots with cheaper homes and thereby reduce
the value of those homes in the neighborhood.
2. Rezoning would change the character of the neighborhood -_two properties
currently zoned RIA would be immediately adjacent to 'property zone& u .
3. Traffic is already a problem on Wylde Green Road and increased development
would worsen the traffic situation. Wylde Green Road presently serves as
an arterial street between Highway 1, Coralville and the University'
Hospital.
4. If the area is developed as proposed, Ashley Road may be needed as an
access road and, therefore, may not be closed as originally planned'.'
S. Many residents purchased their homes with the understanding that the
area would remain s':ngle family residential.
6. Increased density would cause further over of schools.
7. There has been no demonstrated need that additional land is needed for
commercial use in or near the subject area. Commercial areas presently
exist which are accessible for residents in the area.
S. The topography of the area would allow many single family homeowners
to "look down" into multi -family development.
9. People who bought homes in the area should be able to rely on the
developer's word of honor that the area would remain single family
residential.
10. The developer has neither contacted residents nor explained what is
proposed for the area.
Mr. Charles Barker, attorney representing the developer, stated that the
developer's intent was to try to follow what they understood to be the desire

Chairman Ogesen stated that he would prefer to vote on the individual parcels
and if there are parcels that would not be recommended for approval, the staff
could work with the developer on those particular parcels. He noted that the
developer has the option of taking the request to the City Council even 'though

Review of revised R-14 Urban Renewal Plan.
A motion was made by Cain, seconded by Blum, to state the following:
The revised Urban Renewal Plan is not inconsistent with
the current Comprehensive Plan of Iowa City.
The motion carried unanimously.
A motion was made by Blum, seconded by Kammermeyer, to recommend to the
City Council the following:
All street closures be deleted from the present plan, with
the exception of the one block segment of College Street
between Clinton Street and Capitol Street.
Commissioner Kammermeyer noted that the objective is to eliminate specifics
from the general plan. Chairman Ogesen expressed concern that such a motion
would imply that the Commission is opposed to all street closures.- He stated
that he personally was not opposed to all street closures.
The motion carried unanimously.
A motion was made by Cain, seconded by Kammermeyer, to recommend to the City
Council the following:
A policy be adopted stating the desirability of a limited number
of actual street closings and the use of physical and operational
changes (one-way streets, signalization, narrowing, the use of
plantings, etc.) on other streets to restrict vehicular traffic
and aid pedestrian movement.
Differences of opinion were exchanged over the words "desirability" and
"acceptability". Paul Glaves; Redevelopment Specialist, stated that the
purpose of the plan is to 'provide a degree of guidance to the developers
from whom proposals are solicited.
A motion was made`by Blum, seconded by'Kammermeyer,'to amend the motion to
read as follows:

signalization, narrowing, the use of plantings, etc.) to restrict
vehicular traffic and aid pedestrian movement so long as those
closures are desirable in the overall plan and access is main-
tained in one form or another for the elderly and handicapped.
The ammended motion carried 4-2 with Ogesen and Cain dissenting.
Commissioner Cain stated that she would consider a limited number of street
closures to be desirable and not just acceptable provided that access is
maintained.
A motion was made by Jakobsen, seconded by Kammermeyer, to recommend to the
City Council the following:
The City staff be directed to study the total CBD traffic flow
and circulation pattern and those of adjacent areas which
impact on the CBD to devise a complete circulation proposal
in conjunction with any recommended street closures in the
Urban Renewal area.
The motion carried unanimously.
A motion was made by Blum, seconded by Kammermeyer, to recommend to the City
Council the following:
At such time that marketing documents are developed, proposed and/or
acceptable street closures should be included. The Planning and.
Zoning Commission requests a review of any recommended street
closures before said documents are finalized.
The motion carried unanimously.
A motion was made by Jakobsen, seconded by Kammermeyer, to recommend that the
City Council consider the concept of the desirability of pocket parks. The
motion carried unanimously.
A motion was made by Jakobsen, seconded by Kammermeyer, to recommend to the
City Council the following:
(1) To provide for internal circulation within a block so
pedestrians can move within the block without taking
the circumference;
(2) To provide connections, possibly temperature controlled,
from block to block without auto,pedestrian conflict
These connections might be in the.nature of second story,

Commissioner Juanita Vetter was unable to attend the August 5, 1976 Planning
and Zoning Commission meeting at which the revised R-14 Urban Renewal Plan
was discussed. Following are personal opinions of Commissioner Vetter concerning
the R-14 Urban Renewal Plan.
My preference for Urban Renewal is contingent on the sale of two large
parcels for a conference center/hotel and a large department store in
the square bounded by Clinton, Washington, Capitol and Burlington.
I. College Street might then be closed from Clinton to Madison.
2. Madison would remain open to two-way traffic.
3. Washington might be one way (east) from Madison to Linn.
4. Clinton might be one way (south) from Market to Court and should be
restored to full width, with angle parking on east side only.
S. Dubuque might be one way (north) from Court to Market.
6. A parking ramp should be located as near the hotel and department
store as possible, with entrance on one street and exit on another,
to take advantage of traffic circulation around the square (Clinton,
Washington, Capitol, Burlington). Parking �X attendant only should
be considered for night patrons.
7. College Street should be one way between Linn and Clinton.
8. The hotel should accommodate tour buses, taxis, in a protected
curb lane on Washington or Capitol Street.
9. The building at the corner of Clinton and Washington should be
encouraged to provide a covered, (curved plastic roof) arcaded
sidewalk and benches for convenience of city bus passengers.
10. The Inter -city Bus Terminal should be located where Cambus and
City bus service would pass, to aid patrons from out of town.
11. If possible, Whiteway should expand (basement, upstairs?) or
perhaps a new full grocery could be located on one of the smaller
parcels.

As was requested by the Commission, the staff had called
the Chairman of the School Board and requested that at
their next regular meeting of the School Board, they place
on their agenda for discussion the.adequncy of elementary
schools in the southwest arca of fowa City. 'Me Chairman,
however, suggested that we meet with the Superintendent of
Schools to relay to him our concerns, and if.he felt it,
was appropriate, they would meet with the Planning
Zoning Commission. 77ie Superintendent of Schools was out
of town at that time, and the Assistant Superintendent had
requested that we meet with the Superintendent. Tho staff
did meet with the Superintendent of Schools to.express our
concerns and it appeared to us that they were very sympathetic
and appreciative of being kept informed although,. however,
lie did not feel it was essential to meet with.the.Board.
I feel it is importantrthat we establish a close rapport
With the School Board, especially in the preparation of
the Compr%licnsive Plan. It would appear that the location
of new elementary schools will require a considerable 'amount
of input from the Planning Staff.

Summary of discussion and formal action taken
President Farber called the meeting to order at 4:08 P.M.
The minutes of the regular meeting of June 24 and July 7th
meeting were approved with one correction. Bezanson/Newsome.
Motion to approve disbursements passed. Newsome/Kirkman.
Director's Report attached.
President Farber reported on the reaction he had received to
the Board's request for a site for a new library building with-
in the urban renewal area. Ile and several other board members
explained to those who objected that: 1) It is the Board's
job to recommend what they think will be best for providing
quality library service to Iowa City. 2) Their recommendation
reflects the best judgement of the consultant who was engaged
to make a site study. 3) The consultant was hired with the
approval of the Council and they were anxious to hear from the
consultant and the Board on this matter. 4) The Site Study
gives extensive information on the criteria for selecting a
library site and evaluates other sites both within the urban
renewal area. 5) The Library Board can only recommend, and
realizes that any final decision must be made in terms of what
the Council and community needs is best for Iowa City. 6) The
Board's consideration so far have been based on the premise that
the present building would be retained; consequently the pre-
sent site has not been considered. 7) The Library Board continues
to believe that a new library building would be a positive
element in any downtown redevelopment plan whether in the urban
renewal area or not.
Building Chairman Kirkman outlined the agenda for the next informal
meeting. The Board needs to map out plans for getting the build-
ing program under way. The meeting was set for Tuesday, August
3, 7:30 P.M. in the Director's Office.
Motion to approve expenditures for equipment and materials of
approximately $2,095.00 from the Gifts & Bequest Fund as outlined
by the Director was passed unanimously. Richerson/Moore.

that it could not be held in Iowa City unless the date (Oct. 12-14)
was changed since this overlaps with Homecoming weekend.
The proposal to amend library rules concerning withholding of
service to users owing the library money was tabled pending a
more specific staff recommendation.

Services
The statistical summary for FY1976 has been completed and each
Board member has received a copy. Because this is the first
complete year of records for many of the items and because we
also produced a calendar year 1975 annual report, there is no
narrative or comparative statistical data.
A few interesting items or interpretive comments:
1. Circulation of A-V materials has doubled since 1971 and
now account for 11.80 of all items.
2. In FY1976 the public made 62,572 photocopies on our coin
operated machine; twice as many as in 1974. Spot surveys
indicate well over 50% of the items copies are non -library
related. In 1973 6% of the people who entered the building
during a user's survey did so to use the copier.
3. Service to contract and reciprocal areas has doubled since
1970 (our contract income has more than tripled) and now
accounts for 12.2% of total circulation.
4. Use of our information denartment has doubled since 1972.
Approximately 250 times a month telephone callers must be
asked to call back because all information staff members
are busy.
5. Over 45,000 booklists, program announcements, calendars and
information sheets were Printed. 16,000 of them were dis-
tributed by mail. Posting. or distributed to groups. Welcome
Wagon, etc.
6. Since January 1973 and the advent of Permanent adult regis-
tration, 28,342 library cards have been issued to local
residents age 12 or older. In addition there are 5,318
currently registered in the children's department. The
children's total is down 1.000 since 1971 because of the
decreasing number of children in Iowa City. About 69% of
library card holders are 18 years or older.
7. During FY1976 11,544 overdue notices were Prepared. This
figure is about 2.50 of total circulation and in line with
national averages.
8. The 5.127 reserves Placed during FY1976 accounted for 1.7%
of adult circulation. Over 91% of all reserves placed were
filled within eight weeks.
9. Reserves f, Interlibrary loans arc the most expensive of
our circulation services because of the snecial handling
required. ICPL borrowed twice as many items on interlibrary
loan in FY1976 as in 1974, yet ILL loans accounted for
only .002% of total circulation. One-third of all inter-
library loans are 16mm films.
Collections
Durin¢ FY1976 11,218 new items were added and 6,428 were with-
drawn for a net growth of 4,790 or 4.30. Out Qoal for FY1977
is to keep net growth below 2,000 items. This would be a growth
rate of less than 2; on a total collection of 115,315 items.
This growth rate becomes a crucial figure to watch as space
within the building becomes more and more scarce. A heavy weed-
ing program is already underway this summer for all areas of
the adult collection.
The new statistical reporting system now counts all non -cataloged
items acquired and prepared for library use in addition to the
cataloged materials described above. This has tallied an addi-
tional 9,534 paperbacks, puzzles, clippings, pamphlets, telephone
directories and college catalogs for a total of 20,752 items ac-
quired and prepared in FY1976.
Personnel
Maureen Moses has resigned effective July 31. We will recruit
a librarian with experience in the fine arts, general reference
and A-V materials and equipment to fill her spot.
Recently added to the library staff: Diane Ingersoll, senior library
clerk in Technical Services; David Iliff, library clerk (1/2
time) in Technical Services; Susan Sandness, senior library clerk
in Adult Circulation. Both Ingersoll and Sandness have substantial
experience in other public libraries.
Building $ Equipment
The main water line to the boiler was replaced in June and the
water pump was repaired in July. The insurance inspector returns
in late August to approve the boiler's condition.
A leak in the roof around the sky light above the dome on the old
wing of the building damaged several books during a rainstorm in
early July. The maintenance staff tarred the seam around the sky
light and two subsequent heavy rains have produced no further leaking.
An additional photo copier has been added to the office. This is
saving much staff time. Increased use by the public of the coin-
operated machine was causing staff members to stand in line too
frequently.

August 10, 1976 I telephoned the Iowa City Transit System seeking an answer
to this question: "Why are there no benches on the Northwest corner of
;7ashington and Clinton, from which eight outbound buses leave on weekday
regular schedules?"
The astonishing reply was, a long time ago, the Transit System had wanted
to provide shelters with seats for this vital transfer point, but the Uni-
versity had opposed the action.
Since moving to Iowa City in 1969 and being a bus patron, I have had many
Opportunities to observe, the year around, the elderly, the shoppers laden
with packages and the working persons awaiting their buses on this Penta -
crest corner. Many stand; others sit on guard rails.
How tragic that a University dedicated to cultivating minds, cannot have
huaene interest in this dilemma, especially since there is a bus shelter
at University Hospital on Newton Road. (The Manville route.)
The sidewalk area around the Pentacrest corner is wide. There is space
enough for shelters or benches. Either would be preferable to standing or
sitting on guard rails.
Tho is responsible for action?
A copy of this letter is being sent to the Press -Citizen Editor.
Sincerely,

Dear Council Members:

1152 E. Court
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
My reason for writing this letter was the appearance of several
recent stories about urban renewal as reported in the Press Citizen;
of course, the reports may not be accurate, but the stories as such
seemed to call for a response.
There are two main issues which I wish to consider briefly; in
addition, there is a minor point to which I also wish to respond. The
two major issues as reported in the Press Citizen are, first, a concern
with the delay in reinstituting the urban renewal program and, second,
the pressure to have the Council accept without reservation the
recommendations of a consulting firm. The relatively minor issue to
the disposed of first is the claim by Old Capitol Associates to be a
participant in the sale of land south of Burlington Street to three
financial institutions.
As one of the plantiffs in the recent court suit, I am concerned
about having the city operate in the open with the city's interest as a
central matter. Contrary to statements in the Press Citizen, the title
to the east half of parcel 101 was not held by Old Capitol Associates; that
contract was ruled invalid from the beginning by Judge Carter. The
request for private consultation on these matters between Old Capitol
Associates and the city attorney is an example of the early activities
which gave the appearance of impropriety noted by Judge Carter. I wish
to urge strongly your favorable consideration of Mr. Hayek's suggestion
that the Council deal either with the banks or with Old Capitol Associates,
but not with both.
I might point out that the city apparently will gain enough over the
price to be paid originally by Old Capitol Associates in the 101 parcel
transaction to pay for the cost of the court suit and of the rebidding of
the remaining parcels; both the city and school district stand to gain a
great deal more financially and otherwise by having several developers
operating simultaneously in the urban renewal area.
The first major issue to be considered is the repeatedly expressed
concern with the delay in getting urban renewal underway again; the Press
Citizen, the Chamber of Commerce and several Council members have expressed
opinions reflecting that point of view. My view is a very different one.
I think the City is moving ahead on a good schedule. The real damage to
town City urban renewal. was done earti.er than May 4 of this year. The
history of this urban renewal project In Lown City shows one series of gross
Council Members ® 2 • August 12, 1976
errors of judgement after another from early in 1973. Please recall
the changes required in the design of the suggested parking ramp in
December, 1973. An then, also consider the negative evaluation of that
parking ramp plan expressed by Mr. Plastino. The decision to clear
the area before turning it over to the developer was another
unfortunate major decision. Some of you were involved in the deliberations
of the previous council, deliberations often made under public and
private pressure and threats from the would—be developer to make various
changes in time schedules and in the details of the proposal, all to the
benefit of the developer.
The three months since the May decision was stated have not been
lost. We have had some reasoned debate, the land is being reappraised,
plans for rebidding are being made, and the power balance has shifted back
in favor of the City Council which is where the power should be. I£
we have another year before the bids can be obtained, we can use the
time and available funds for construction projects other than urban renewal --
and there is every likelihood as much will be built by the end of 1977 as
would have been built by Old Capitol Associates. The trial closing of Dubuque
Street will provide some actual evidence as to the effect of such steps on
the city traffic patterns. In addition, the new appraisals and new
bidding levels appear to provide more funds for the city than would have been
obtained from the old contract. And we can look more carefully at the
plans for specific urban renewal projects in order to reduce the gross
errors seen in the old proposal.
The second issue is the suggested delegation of the Council's powers
of decision on major urban renewal features to the consulting firm.
It has been suggestedlaccording to the Press Citizen, that the Council members
agreed in advance to accept the recommendations on major issues of the
consulting firm; such an agreement would be handing the consultants
a signed blank check. Such an abrogation of responsibility is not
conducive to a sound political base for further action on urban renewal.
I am sure the Council has indicated to the consultants the major problems
and view points involved in the urban renewal project; I am also sure that
the Council has requested a balanced consideration of each view and a
recommendation on such views by the consultant. Then, the case for each
type of action can be presented to the interested public so the Council
can make its decision based on public input as well as the consultant's
recommendation.
The situation in Iowa City is not typical of urban renewal projects;
one of the consultants reportedly said, "Everything I have looked at here
is exactly backward of everything I've seen in other parts of the country.
The consultant emphasized the proximity to the University of Iowa campus
as a positive point as well. as the mistake in clearing the land before some—
one is ready to build. Since the consultant indicated plans and procedures
based on prior studies in other cities would not be applicable to Iowa City,
it would seem reasonable to hear what the consultant recommends and to enter
into a dialogue with the consulting firm as to the basis of those recommendations.
Then, the Council might indeed accept one or all of these recommendations,
or the Council and hopefully the public, might have suggestions that could
lead to a modification of some features of the proposal.
Council Members • 3
• August 12, 1976
The issue of a single developer or of two or more developers for the
urban renewal land is a critical issue in Iowa City. I wish to point
out that no public meeting, and apparently not even an executive meeting
of the City Council, was devoted to consideration of the relative merits
of the single developer versus the multiple developer (2 or more) approaches
to urban renewal development in 1973 when the decision was made to have
only a single developer. The situation is very different at the present
time; there is indeed now consideration of this issue. Perhaps it will be
as Councilman Vevera said, ". . . this council will not accept one single
developer for the land north of Burlington Street nor is it going to be
80 developers. We're going to end up with something in between." The
consultants have also indicated their appreciation of the sensitivity of the
issue of the number of developers; Mr. Zuchelli is reported as saying,
�I think we will end up with clusters of parcels, because these
parcels do not relate physically or economically to each other." These
views would seem to be the basis for a sensible resolution of this
emotional issue.
Other issues with emotional and economic aspects include the planning
for reasonable transportation routes and facilities, a sensible location
at minimal costs to the public of a new public library, the possibility
of subsidized housing in the downtown area, and the allocation by the city
of land for small city parks. The invalid contract with Old Capitol
Associates allowed for no alternative to their plans (original or their
revisions) in the ll! acres; now the Council has some freedom of choice
again. This is our city,not the city of the consultants nor of a developer
interested primarily in money and power. Let's work together to make
Iowa City the city we want to live in, to go shopping in, and to die in.

It is Dr. Staab's position that this is a private road-
way and that the developers of University Lakes Apartment
Project do not have the right to dedicate that private road-
way to public use without Dr. Staab's consent, which consent
Dr. Staab has not given nor does lie intend to give his consent
to such a dedication to public usc. 'ro the contrary, Dr.
Staab has an interest in seeing the roadway maintained as a
private roadway, and to restrict its use by the public. Dr.
Staab accordingly demands that any designation of that road-
way as a bikeway within the Iowa City Bikeway System be
deleted from any official publication and to the extent
that the City of Iowa City has caused that private roadway
to be designated as a bikeway on any information disseminated
to the general public, that the City of Iowa City take steps
to inform the general public that that private roadway is not
a part of the Iowa City Bikeway System and that it is in fact
a private roadway available for use only by the adjoining
property owners.
Dr. Staab has contacted the attorney representing the
owners of the University Lakes Apartment Project with a re-
quest that some system be devised to insure the roadway in
question will remain a private roadway but in the interim
Dr. Staab feels that it is important that the City take
steps to correct any misinformation concerning this roadway
which may have been disseminated by the City of Iowa City.

Re: Bikeway through Staab property north of University Lake Apartments
Dear Mr. Mullen:
I am in receipt of your letter dated August 6, 1976, regarding the above
subject matter. Please be advised that as a condition of the City's
approval of the University Lake Apartment development, the City did
require that the project owners construct a "bicycle path and/or walk"
through their property to intersect with the private roadway indicated
in your letter. Never at any time during the review process was there
any indication that the roadway was indeed private for use only by
Mr. Staab. According to Mr. Staab's recorded deed, the "right of way
is reserved to be used in common for the present and future owners of
the east half of the northeast quarter of the northwest quarter of Section
16" which does include the property of University Lake Apartments. We
would conclude, therefore, that the owners of the University Lake Apart-
ment project are, in fact, meeting the conditions of the large Scale
Residential Development plan approved and that if there is some question
concerning the status of the roadway, you should consult the owners of
the University Lake Apartments.
If'you have any questions in regard to this matter, please do not hesitate
to contact me.

Dear Mayor Neuhauser and Council Members: CITY CLERK
I understand the need to regulate posting materials
in the city buses. However, I wish you would consider
this request to allow informational posters concerning the
"Swine Flu" vaccination program to be posted in the buses.
It is an important task to reach all 70,000 residents of
Johnson County to inform them of the availability of the
vaccination.
The transit system would be a very effective way to
disseminate this vital health information to the public.
The time, place, and location of the vaccination clinics
would be included in the posters.
I'm sure, understanding the public health signifi-
cance of this program, you will favorably consider this
request.
Thank you.

Dear Mayor and Members of the Council; CITY CLERK
The- Council's consideration concerning the hiring of a con-
sultant for urban renewal has me completely baffled. Each of you
should check the history of this nrogram and yes, check your campaign
statements. We began the program with Barton-Aschman of Chicago
in 1964 and concluded with Y.-nt Peters of Madison in 1973. All of
these firms were very qualified and considered "experts". Obviously,
this Council, as nest Councils had done, is hoping for a miracle in
solving the urban renewal dilemma. Unless the new consultant has
not yet reached the are of thirty-two, I can guarantee each of you
that it will never happen. The final decision will still be your
responsibility b -cause no expert can satisfy everyone and neither
cen you, individually, or collectively.
Past council members, staff people and citizens discussed and
argued all points of concern. Finally, the 1973 Council concluded
the only way to implement and expedite the program was to move in the
direction of the "Mester Developer". I find it very comforting to
know that Mr. Zuchelli has expressed the same feelings to this
Council. I also find it refreshing that the feasibility and
marketability studies must still be valid. To hear that the numbers
of people and the proximity of the University make it economically
feasible and that to "lure" a major department store requires
subsidization and a large parcel of land indicates that marketability
trends haven't changed in twelve years, (and they never will).
Also, cleared land under nublic ownership does not generate taxes
Is still a true feet. Amazing!!!
Mr. Zuchelli advises that he will devise a clan for marketing
the land and he will want immediate decisions from the Council. 'ghat
assurances can you give him this will be done? You can't even decide
on the scope of his ,Job. What assurances can he give you as an
"expert" that his final plan will pass the scrutiny of all concerned?
(Another "expert", 'Ye Ito n -Beckett, obviously couldn't do it.) What
assurances do private developers have that this council or future
Councils will coop=rate with them if they do invest money? The
city's track record with Old Capitol certainly is not conducive to
attracting other people. The private development on South Dubuque
Street, with threats of condemnation and building shut -down, is a
good example of the Council not understanding the marketplace. You
live in a real world and it's time each of you comprehend that.
::hat assurances do the citizens of this community have that you are
really serious about completing this ,Job? Ninety days have passed
since the court ruling and what's been done? The court ruled the
contract illegal, not the concept.

That's the reason I've decided to write this letter. After
sp=nding eight years on the Council, I can assure all of you that I
know all the Ouestions about renewal, but the answers create the
problems. Whether the Council Ultimately decides to spend �3000.o0
Or 9100,000.00 or more for another consultant, the problems will
still be the snm-. I honestly can't understand why individual members
don't or won't realize that Doint. I'd like to suggest that you not
sp=nd valuably time inventing the wheel, or for that matter, how fire
is created, unless you can use a spark to ignite the leadership this
community deserves. I'd further suggest that each of you forget the
Politics of the game and your own ego trips and re-examine the
City ;,anaFrr's memo on the virtues of the "Master Developer" (minus
the Dolitical implications, of course).
And one last suggestion, if you are sincere in fulfilling your
obligations as a member of our Council, get on with the task of
completing urben renewal and not =gait another three years. Follow
additional cost by kee
the recommendations of Mr. Zuchelli with no further delay and no
ping the "Master DeveloDer" Concept that other
COmmunitins are using successfully. It does work and will work if
the Council wants the fob done. That also is a��
proven fact!!!

STAFF REPORT
Planning and Zoning Commission
July 15, 1976
SUBJECT: Z-7610. Application submitted by
Bryn Mawr Heights, Inc. to rezone
a tract of land from 111A to RIBlocated south,
Part 7. Date filed: 7/2/76. 45 -day limitation: 8/16/76f Bryn Mawr Heights,
STAFF
ANALYSIS: The request area of approximately
20.3 acres is currently vacant and
zoned R1A. The topographic condition
of the request area is characterized
by gently rolling terrain and limited natural vegetation. The subject property
is highly suitable for low density residential development. Most of this land
is presently devoted to agricultural purposes. High quality single family
residences are found to the north and northeast and west of the request area
in an R18 Zone. Vacant agricultural land abuts said property to the south
and west.
The rezoning is being requested to incorporate RIB, low density owner -occupied
housing -- a compatible development to the surrounding area. The current
zoning of the request area (RIA) is most compatible with the surrounding
development pattern and the proposed RIB zoning of the subject area may be
compatible depending on the overall density of development. Nevertheless,
the average lot size in RIB developments may not be consistent with adjacent
residential areas since lot sizes of 6,000 square feet are permitted.
A subdivision plat submitted in conjunction with the subject rezoning request
illustrates lot sizes in excess of 6,000 square feet and consistent with existing
average lot sizes in the surrounding area. To rezone the area to an RIB zone
would be acting on a good faith reliance that the subdivider would be pursuing
the approval of said plat. Approval of the plat simultaneously with the approval
of the rezoning application, with a further word of caution to the subdivider
that any revised plat with smaller average lot sizes would be inappropriate,
would be the City's only recourse other than denying the request. Any such
attempt to do so would, in the Staff's opinion, be reasonable grounds to
instigate rezoning the property back to an R1A zone.
Present conditions in the immediate vicinity of the request area (Ernest Horn
School District) indicate that overcrowding of Ernest Horn Elementary School
is a critical area of concern. This area of the City (southwest) is rapidly
becoming the prime development area of the community. See Staff Report -
the Southwest Area Development Study of 1969.
Mr. Richard Lahr, a school official of the Iowa City Community School District,
has indicated to staff that additional elementary school age children residing
in the area will be bused to the elementary schools, Roosevelt or Coralville
Central. Mr. Lahr also indicated that there are no current plans for future
school sites in the area or elsewhere in the community. Mr. Lahr did mention,
however, that in order to meet increased school enrollment demands, an addition
to Ernest Horn School may be constructed before the end of the year, 1977.
J3`J

2 -
The busing of elementary school age children to other parts of the community
is very costly and one of the main arguments for the establishment of a no -
growth policy. The City must eventually address itself to this issue to
prevent such high cost in providing services to urban type developments.
Land held in "urban reserve" or preserved until such time that services can
be provided on an economical basis is one solution, but until the City
refrains from extending sanitary sewer services to these areas, it is doubt-
ful that the City legally has the prerogative to stop development in these
areas.
STAFF
RECONNENDATION:
Based on the foregoing analysis, it
is the Staff's recommendation that
the request area be zoned R1B.
STAFF Overcrowding in Iowa City schools
COMMENT: stems mainly from two factors:
(1) entry of large, young families
with school age children into the
area, and (2) gradual increase in population density in the area due to new
urban development. In selected instances, the overcrowded condition is
temporarily due to family relocation and transitionary change in neighborhood
population composition.
Portable or mobile classrooms offer a solution to rectifying a temporarily
overcrowded school facility. These units enable school officials to respond
immediately to classroom requirements in specific neighborhoods. They can
also prevent double sessions or excessive travel time to other schools.
Long range solutions to inadequate school facilities can be rectified through
the use of the neighborhood concept. This concept recognizes the elementary
school as a central focus of residential neighborhoods. Acceptance of the
concept implies that adequate housing consists not merely of individual homes,
no matter how well planned or located, but that all residential and community
facilities and services (i.e., schools, recreation areas, utilities, streets,
etc.) required for shelter, health, and convenience of the residents in a
neighborhood be included within the neighborhood.

Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear Mr. Perret,
At a recent meeting of the Downtown Association, discussion was held
concerning the negative reaction of downtown shoppers to the increase
of the overtime parking fine, to two dollars.
While the Association realizes Lhe City's problems with its finances,
we believe that now is the wrong time to visit additional problems on
downtown and its shoppers.
Many of our members cite instances of shoppers and users of services,
including this as one more reason why they will probably shop else-
where.
The Association would ask that you review your action in this regard
and take early steps to rectify this situation which would be con-
sistent with your staff recommendation.
For your information, our sister city to the north currently charges
.25 cents if paid within the hour, one dollar within five days and
five dollars thereafter. This seems like a very positive approach
which would indicate to shoppers and others that they are important
to the downtown and are not being used as a source of revenue.
Very truly yours,
Tom Muller, President
Downtown Association

Abbie Stolfus, City Clerk
Tony Kushnir, Asst. City Attorney
Storm Water Ordinance
In reference to your inquiry of whether we would need to
start over on the storm water ordinance or whether to give it
second consideration at a future meeting, Section 380.3 of the
Code of Iowa (1975) as amended by the 66th General Assembly, 1975
Session, states a proposed ordinance or amendment must be considered
and voted on for passage at two council meetings prior to the meet-
ing at which it is to be finally passed, unless this requirement is
suspended by recorded vote of not less than 3/4 of the Council
members. Although it is not specific as to your inquiry,from the
language that it must be voted on two meetings prior to the one
that it is finally passed, I assume that it must pass at the two
prior considerations. With this being the only requirement I feel
that it is not necessary that we conduct the public hearing on
the ordinance over again or start the considerations over but merely
repeat the second consideration at a future council meeting. If
thereare any further questions on this, please don't hesitate to
contact me. Thank you.

The billing system at the sanitary landfill is on the "honor.
System-. When haulers come across the scale they give a
permit number identifying where the solid waste originated
in Johnson County. The Finance Department then bills the
appropriate community for the solid waste. There apparently
is a breakdown in the "honor" system as indicated in the
table below. This table shows the solid waste production
from each community for the last six months. To obtain
these figures the actual monthly tonnages taken at the
sanitary landfill, were divided by the population of thefrom tons into pounds.

residential, commercial and industrial solid waste.
Based upon the actual tons of solid waste that come across
the scales per month, Iowa City bills that city at a rate
Of $3.62 per ton.
The major cause of concern is the unusual characteristics
indicated in the table. As you 'Vill note the Iowa City rate
runsaround five pounds (5 lbs.) per person, per day Ci the
winter months, and starts to increase in the summer months.
This is to be expected since there is a great deal more yard
waste and to some extent, more household solid waste in
warmer summer months. Two things stand out when looking at
some of the other towns in Johnson County. First, the volumes
generated per person are much lower than Iowa City's generation
rate. There may be some extenuating circumstances which
explain the low generations, such as:
a. the private haulers serving some communities may
be going to another landfill;
b. the community may he totally residential in nature
with no high outputs from industry; and
C. the community may have a high percentage of elderly

people who traditionally have lower generation rates.
Even given the above extenuating circumstances, there is
no logical explanation for the extremely low rates being
generated by Lone Tree and Tiffin.
Another discrepancy that occurs is the actual decrease in
solid waste weight when comparing summer against winter
months. It can be noted from the table that Lone Tree,
Riverside and North Liberty actually have less solid waste
in June than in some of the winter months.
It is extremely difficult to find the exact reason for all
Of these unusual solid waste generation rates. The only
way to get an absolutely accurate figure for each community
is to run a test under controlled circumstances to insure
that all solid waste from the community is being charged
against the proper permit number and is not inadvertently
or deliberately being charged against the Iowa City permit
number. While a controlled check of another community's
solid waste might be done, it is not seen as a proper
function for Iowa City to undertake this action.
Two types of action that might be taken by Iowa City that
are more feasible are listed below:
1. Charge every truck that comes across the scale a
fee based on the tonnage on that truck. This has
the disadvantage that commercial businesses in Iowa
City would be heavily penalized. They now pay for
private commercial pick up and these rates would
increase significantly if commercial haulers from
Iowa City were charged a fee for crossing the scales.
At the present time, all residential and commercial
solid waste from Iowa City enters the landfill with-
out charge.
2. Charge all cities having a contract with Iowa City a
flat rate based upon the population of the community
and an agreed upon generation rate per capita per day.
It is recommended that Iowa City select option #2 and that
a generation rate 5.3 lbs. per person per day be used for
all communities having contracts with Iowa City. While the
5.3 lbs. generation rate may be in excess of the amount
generated by a community during some months; as
mentioned above, the procedures to determine exact generation
rates would be extremely difficult.
In summary, it is recommended that the following communities
be billed monthly on a flat rate based upon the population
of the community and a solid waste generation rate as follows:

If Council wishes to pursue this matter, it is recommended that
notices be sent to all parties involved and a Public Hearing
be held to more fully discuss the situation. While Iowa City
has no interest in unfairly charging other communities within
the county, there is a responsibility to insure that Iowa
City citizens are not subsidizing solid waste collection
throughout the county. At the present time, Iowa City has
contracts with all the communities listed in the table above;
however, many of these have expired or are due to expire and
new contracts can be written reflecting changes desired by
Iowa City. Failure of the communities to use the Iowa City
sanitary landfill poses no problem to Iowa City since the
revenue generated by other communities is low compared with
the total cost of operating the sanitary landfill. Iowa City

Washington Street Sidewalk Vaults
Dear Gene: ('
y
You have requested my views concerning the obligation of the City
to repair leaks that have appeared in the streetside walls of some side-
wall, vaults along Washington Street.
As you know, in 1974 when the City reconstructed Washington
1
Street, the City Council, with a few exceptions not material here, decided
to reconstruct at public expense the walls and ceilings of the sidewalk
vaults along Washington Street. This decision was based upon the long-
term use of many of these sidewalk vaults and the fact that in many cases
the vaults or passageways were necessary for access to the properties.
For these same reasons the City Council decided not to charge
:any rent to the property owners making use of these vaults even though in
many cases the property owners receive a substantial benefit by the use
of public property in connection with their buildings.
During the course of the construction work the City did undertake
in some instances to repair walls that had leakage problems. These
repairs were undertaken by the City in an effort to maintain good will with
the property owners along Washington Street and because of the ease of
doing them as a part of the construction project.
It seems to me that at the present time and for the future the City
should not attempt to repair sidewalk vault walls along Washington Street.
The property owners along Washington Street are already receiving a
substantial benefit without the City assuming an obligation to keep the
j walls and structures in good repair. If the property owner is experiencing
problems with a sidewalk vault, it seems to me that the property owner's
solution would be to either repair the existing wall or else wall off the
sidewalk vault with a new wall which of course could be totally sealed
"• against ground water seepage and the like. I realize that in some cases
this may seem like harsh alternatives but I believe for the City to do
otherwise would be to assume on the part of the public a continuing liability
of considerable magnitude.

Recreation Center on Wednesdays and Saturdays. This request
would not be taken up by the Parks and Recreation Commission
until their meeting on July 14th, and Perret asked for a
special meeting before this. Mayor Neuhauser commented that
unless the Parks and Recreation Commission could come up with
a scheme that would be fair to everybody, she would not support
it. There are other children in other parts of town who have
the same problem, and Mark IV can use the Cambus. The City
Manager advised that the past problem has been with the staff
at Mark IV; there is a lack of cooperation or interest in the
programs offered, although the staff had made a real effort.
The consensus of the Council was that the Council had no objec-
tion to the Parks and Recreation Commission having a special
meeting.
The City Manager advised that the City Attorney would
give an oral report concerning Aycori Manufacturing, Inc.
dba/Copper Dollar, 211 Iowa Avenue. He also explained the
coverage of the lease on the Davis Building. Mayor Neuhauser
explained problems the citizens are having with the new brush
ordinance, and it was suggested that the Director of Public
Works could advise Council what the alternatives are. She
also commented that the reply from the Appeal Board concern-
ing the budget was incredible, noting that they are encourag-
ing the City to borrow money, which would ruin our rating.
The City Manager pointed out that the City could appeal or
deal with it with the State Legislators, but we should get
Hayek's opinion on our options.

Councilman Selzer asked for an overlay over the urban re-

would show the parking now. He suggested adding the area for
two blocks each way, so the total picture would be available.
Councilwoman deProsse asked what Council would be discuss-

Council Discussion
June 28, 1976
Director of Comm. Dev. Kraft and Redevelopment Specialist
Glaves were present for the discussion. The memo Council re-
ceived on Block 101 was explained by the City Manager. Mayor
Neuhauser pointed out there are two different situations in
urban renewal: (1) south of Burlington, where all public im-
provements have been constructed and (2) north of Burlington.
Her preference for marketing was to designate the uses South
of Burlington St. and market them individually, one area for
housing. It was pointed out that installation of telephone,
gas and electric utilities would be inconveniences, and phas-
ing of construction, if Blocks 83, 84, and 64 were marketed
together so that parking would be available, could be stipu-
lated inthe bidding documents.
Mayor Neuhauser read the design criteria from the Land
Marketing Document. The City Manager inquired of Council where
more control would be wanted and the nature of it, if more con-
trol is what Council wants. Council discussed how specific they
wanted to get in order to insure an overall good level of de-
sign, and the level of detail required to meet the marketing
method attached to specific parcels.
The consensus that South of Burlington Council would allow
any permitted use, housing preferred, was pointed out. In refer-
ence to Sec. 304 of the contract, HUD has advised that it can
be deleted. The Mayor did not want to change it but let the
developer set the schedule when things were going to be built,
but not take possession of the land until construction is ready
to start. The City Manager advised that this gives more control.
Councilwoman deProsse outlined her ideas: selling portions
of Block 82 as one parcel; selling Blocks 65 and 64 separately;
putting housing on 93/101; keeping Capitol St. open; and en-
couraging expansion of the motel on Block 102; elderly housing
in Block 103; a probable use for Block 64 would be for the library,
not splitting up the block.
Councilman Foster stated that the Council had a moral commit-
ment to allow those displaced a chance for prime land, and com-
mented on the potential for second and third story housing across
from the campus. Glaves distributed an alternative concerning
the acceptance of the highest responsible bid which was taken
from the urban renewal handbook, #65. He pointed out that any
parking garage accommodating 600 cars would need one-half block,
the facility would be four stories high, sloping floor design,
and there would be 300 square feet per car.

In connection with the consensus that a Class A depart-
ment store was a top priority, the City Manager explained
that for this item, a consultant could be hired and the cri-
teria Council had established could be used. This included:
goosenioreandnother, theation of a departmentlstore,�,andloritfor provision forspark-
ing for retail space. He noted that he was not aware of any-
one locally who could do this. Council discussed whether or
not to hire a consultant. The City Manager reported that Council-
man Vevera had commented that he agreed with staff that there
would have to be some compromise or there wouldn't be any urban
renewal. He is not interested in splitting up the major parcels,
and wants one developer for the major parcels. Possibility of
a new EIS was mentioned again. City Manager Berlin asked if he
should procedd to deal with the question of housing. There were
no objections from Council.

cation for Mayor's Youth Committee. Roll call: Ayes: Balmer,

has been pressuring the New York
politicians to abolish or modify the
system.
Unfortunately, rent control is
not merely limited to New York
City. Indeed, it has recently been
spreading, largely as a oonse
quence of unusually sharp infla.
tion. Rents are now controlled by
government In 106 other cities in

Miami Beach, and several Alas-
kan cities.
,According to the rent control
expert, George Sternlieb, direc-
tor of Rutgers' Center for Urban
Policy Research, approximately
one eighth of all American rental
units are subject to some sort of
rent regulation.. While the slack-
ening of inflation has somewhat
weakened the pressure, rent con-
trol has been under serious con-.
aideration In many other jurw
diction, including Washington,
Oregon, and Callfornla,, so it is
necessary to- tediously review
the arguments against it.
Rent control makes no sense
economically or socially. Holding
return on investment below mar-
ket levels lowers the value of prop-
erty investment, and therefore re-
duces assessed valuation and real
property tax revenues, pushing the
local tax burden onto Commercial
and Industrial propfrty and owned
single-family housing.
Perhaps it is needless to note
that rent control, and even the
threat of rent control, dries up in-
vestment. Keeping rents artifi-
cially low also contributes to hon-
ing decay by discouraging rein.
vestment and ordinary mainte-
nance.
No one should be cozened by
claims that rent control helps the
poor. In most slums, as much rent
is charged as the pitiful market
will bear; the beneficiaries are
more prosperous, including some
very prosperous. Would you be.
lieve that the down.trodden real.
But the politics of rent control
are even more perverse. Rent con.
trol represents the crudest at,
tempt to legislate something for
nothing. Since tenants outnumber
landlords, cynical politicians
count heads and vote accordingly,
disregarding the economic and fis.
cal .viability of their governments,
not to mention simple equity.,One
could argue that the politicians are
merely: behaving rationally,, ex-
cept that they are conai0erably
less receptive to the wider public
demand for lower taxes.'
The political pressures are
such, in fact, that rent�rontrol is
beginning to show its ugly head at
the. federal level. Many.,'hdusing

c. The Commission made the following recommendations concerning the nature
of the downtown redevelopment:
To consider the concept of the desirability of pocket parks.
To provide for internal circulation within a block so pedestrians
can move within the block without taking the circumference.
To provide connections, possible temperature controlled, from
block to block without auto pedestrian conflict. These
connections might be in the nature of second story covered walkways.
Innovative development techniques are encouraged so that the
redevelopment can stand the test of time without becoming outdated
any sooner than possible.
That a limited number of on -street non -ramp parking spaces be
provided within the central business core which are designated
and reserved for the handicapped.
That redevelopers be allowed to incorporate privately owned
parking facilities into their building designs Ci.e., rooftop
or underground).
That restoration of historical or architecturally significant
buildings be encouraged in the Urban Renewal plan.
4. There was one unresolved staff recommendation at the time the plan was referred
to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
As shown on lines 25-28 of page 14 of the draft revision, the plan allows
up to 100% lot coverage (the amount of land actually covered by the structure)
in the CBS area.
This level of coverage clearly is not appropriate for the larger parcels,
though it might be for the smaller parcels. At the same time, the parking
requirements in the CBS zone would make it unlikely that 100 percent coverage
would be possible even owe smallest parcels.
Therefore, the following paragraph is appropriate and should be substituted
for the section shown on page 14, lines 25 through 28.
.provide for up to 100 percent lot coverage of all parcels of
less than 15,000 square feet; and up to 80 percent lot coverage
on all parcels larger than 15,000 square feet; and a floor area
ratio of up to five times the development area; provided that the
parking and other requirements set forth in the zoning ordinance
must be fully met. Floor area ratio premiums may be allowed for
inclusion of plazas, open space, street arcades, canopies, passenger
loading, and freight loading facilities.

S. In order to expedite the Plan amendment process, I have started drafting the
amending resolution, on which the public hearing is to be held. Prior to
the completion of this draft, it will be necessary for Council to consider
the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendations, and any other changes
to the draft which the Council may wish made.
The Resolution may also be changed following the public hearing, in response
to public or other inputs, prior to adoption.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 12, 1976
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
RE: Gifts and Gratuities
After speaking with various city administrators across the state and after
reviewing literature on the subject, three alternatives to the problem of
gifts and gratuities can be offered.
1. A complete prohibition against accepting any gift or gratuity of
any amount. This prohibition would be all encompassing and would
include meals, drinks, etc. Any offering, regardless of worth,
would have to be refused.
2. A more moderate approach would involve a simple reporting process.
It would allow councilmembers to use their own good judgment on
which gifts to accept or refuse. Any gifts accepted would have to
be reported (in written form) as to the nature of the gift, its
cost and the identity of the donor. This reporting system would
neutralize any future accusations that COLIncilmembers might encounter.
3. The third alternative would be the maintenance of the status quo.
A policy in gifts and gratuities would not be adopted.. The individual
councilmembers would decide on a case-bTcase basis what gifts and
gratuities, if any, should be accepted. There would be no written
prohibitions nor any reporting system.
The Code of Iowa addresses the subject of gifts and gratuities in Chapter 741.1.
"It shall be unlawful for any agent, representative or employee, officer or
any agent of a private corporation or public officer, acting in behalf of a
principal in any business transaction, to receive for his own use, directly
or indirectly, any gift, commission, discount, bonus or gratuity connected
with, relating to, or growing out of such business transaction; and it shall
be likewise unlawful for any person, whether acting in his own behalf or in
behalf of any copartnership, association, or corporation, to offer, promise,
or give directly or indirectly any such gift, commission, discount, bonus, or
gratuity.'
None of the cities contacted has specific dollar amount guidelines on gifts and
gratuities. The policies adopted were ambiguous; a public official is pro-
hibited from accepting any gift that might affect his/her official capacity.
Specific guidelines could be established by setting dollar limits on gifts
offered or received by councilmembers.
It is largely left to the individual community and councilmembers to decide
what policy would be most appropriate considering the moral and political
climate of the community.

Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Ms. Johnson:
At the regular Council meeting of August 3, the City Council received and;,,
placed on file your letter of July 15.
The City Council as well as the City staff and planning and Zoning Commission
are closely examining the subject of street closures in downtown Iowa City.
At this time, no definite decision has been made regarding -the closure of _
Dubuque Street, The City isfacedwith the difficult problem of dealing with
the very real needs for a pedestrian orientation in downtown Iowa City while,
at the same time, ensuring adequate access to all commercial establishments.
The need for both a pedestrian orientation and auto access will be made more
pressing as new retail, office, and residential buildings are constricted with-
in the urban renewal area. The City staff and Council will be very carefully
looking at the problems which might be created by the closure of arty specific
streets. Before such a decision is made, a thorough analysis of downtown traffic
will be conducted.
I share with you your concern over the.problems which pedestrians have crossing
Burlington Street. .This is a subject which has been discussed by the City
Council on several occasions. No firm decision has been made regarding where
elderly housing should be located. Consideration is being given to -including
such housing north.of Burlington Street, but the cost of construction in this
area will cause very real problems. I would like to assure you, however, that
wherever elderly housing is located special attention will be given to providing
good pedestrian -access from -this housing to the downtown areas.where the elderly
need to go.
The location of the bus depot is also undergoing considerable discussion. Con-
sideration is being given to trying to locate the bus depot at a location more
centrally located and more readily accessible to both the dawntown and to the
bus systems operated by Coralville, Iowa City, and the University of Iowa. No
specific locations for any specific facilities have been selected at this time.
As the City proceeds with marketing land, reviewing proposals, and entering into
redevelopment contracts, desirable locations for all facilities will .be actively
sought. Your comments concerning these specific facilities are very much
appreciated.

Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Ms. Svendsen:
Your letter dated July 12, 1976, to the Mayor and City Council, has been referred
to me for reply. I appreciate your interest in the Urban Renewal project, and the
time you have taken to let us ]mow about your concerns.
11
The points that you raise about the changes which have occurred over the past
several years are indeed primary considerations which must be considered as
decisions are made.
Your expression of concern regarding the Public Library is indeed a matter of
importance. As youY the City has obtained a report from a library
consultant concerning the City's needs for public library services. One of the
main elements of this report concerns where the library should be located in the
future. The consultant has emphasized that the library should be centrally
located in the downtown area. As you pointed out in your letter, there are many
competing needs for the available land in downtown Iowa City. The balancing of
these needs is a matter of primary concern to the City staff and the City Council.
A'o decision has yet been made as to where a new library should be located when one
is built. There have been discussions, concerning several possible locations,
but all of these locations have been in the downtown area.
As discussion continues and decisions are made, the concerns which you expressed
in your letter will certainly be considered. If I may be of any further help
to you regarding the public library or any other aspect of Iowa City's Urban
Renewal project, please feel free to contact me at any time. --
Sincerely,

'Recreation Department Report for July 1976
Bob Lee, Superintendent
August 6, 1976
July is a month of maximum outdoor participant activity on the recreation
calendar.
A. Administration
Two major staff changes took place: Larry Wolf, Center Supervisor since
August 16, 1974, resigned effective July 16, 1976 to accept'the position
of Superintendent of Recreation with the City of Muscatine, Iowa; Judy Boersma,
our first Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, hired on September°15;'1975,`resigned
effective July 31, 1976 to move to Boston, Mass. Following advertising and intern
positions were filled. The Center Supervisor position was filled by !tike Unger
who was advanced from a part-time position. Janet Lown, a summer University
of Iowa student intern with our department, was employed to begin in an act-
ing capacity on August 2'and full time on August 16, 1976. 'Staff feels very
comfortable with these new appointments and we are all 'looking forward to pleasant
productive relationships. I believe both of..'these people to be very dedicated
and capable people and feel certain that the city recreation program will progress
and prosper under their leadership.
An in depth review of the application of our new fees and charges policy resulted
in a report submitted on July 29, 1976. The report covered adult league programs
and public use of the three city swimming pools and how receipts compared with
expenditures.
B. SPI
1. All SPI activities seem to be going quite well with the poetry and arts and
crafts groups having very good attendance. The softball program at Mercer
Park has good participation but has`been rained out a'few-times. The garden-
ing program has had several very interested senior citizens and it has real
value for them but it does take considerable staff time.
2. A swim meet was held on July 24 and was quite successful. This was a special
project for intern, Jan Lown. People from Cedar Rapids were invited but
none attended.
3. The program concluded on July 31 with `a program recognizing the 19 volunteers.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
Monthly Report: July, 1976
Departmental activities continued at a substantially
higher volume as compared to the same month of -the previous
Year. Some progress was noted in accomplishing the earlier
stated Departmental goals.
The refurbishing of the basement area to accomodate the
locker room for women officers got off dead center with the
Preparation of a contract by the Department of Public Works
for detailed design drawing, specifications and cost est-
imates for the facility.
New police vehicles were received and placed into service.
Initial selection interviews were conducted by the Civil
Service Commission, staff members of the Department of Human
Relations and Police Department representatives for selected
candidates for police employment. A list will be presented
for Council certification in the near future. Actual hiring
Of new people to replace vacancies occasioned by resignations
will probably not occur until early in 1977, the earliest
date a basic training school will be available.
The Collective Bargaining Agreement between the City of
Iowa City and the Iowa City Police Patrolmen's Association,
approved by Council on February 10, 1976, became fully effect-
ive on July 1, 1976.
Statistically, total requests for police service in July
numbered 2,275. Sixty incidents required investigative follow-
up and were referred to the Detective Bureau.
Animal Shelter activities increased slightly over the
Previous year. A few more dogs no longer reside in their
doghouses. A few more cats no longer reside in their.....
homes. Both dogs and cats apparently grew weary of the constant
and trying attention forced upon them and indicated their
annoyance by sinking -teeth into owners or other antagonists.
One rabbit was pulled out of a hat or elsewhere, while approx-
imately one-half of the raccoon population felt'a primal
instinct and abandoned the City for surrounding cornfields.
One skunk was captured... very carefully.
Back on the Police side again, twenty-nine breakins were
reported in Iowa City during July. Total loss amounted to
nearly $48,000. Additional plain clothes officers have been

RC: Monthly Activity Summary
The month of July produced several interesting
cases for the Detective Bureau to investigate.
Much time was dedicated to f017.0w-up work on
cases opened during previous months. Many,.
many hours were also spent- assisting the Federal
Bureau of Investigations as well as the Bureau
of Criminal Investigations with cases that
originated in Iowa City. Not reflected in this
report are manhours spent gathering intelligence
information relating to present cases, previous
cases, and just information in general.
Our Narcotics Offiger has worked long hours
gathering intelligence information to assist
him in his drug cases as well as assisting State
Special Agents. No drug arrests were made,
however, many reports were made which will most
likely be reflected in arrests in the future.
Below you will find a listing of new cases opened
and investigated by the Iowa City Detective Bureau
during the month of July.

FROM: Paul Glaves, Redevelopment Specialist 9
RE: The Urban Renewal Plan
1) Members of the City staff have met with representatives Of the University of
Iowa to discuss
Renewal Plan. any inputs which they had concerning the revision of the Urban
2) Following are several reccymnendations which were made by the representetives of
the University. Page and line numbers refer to the draft revised plan.
a. Page 3, lines 20-21 should be changed to reflect the desired pedestrian
orientation of the University, in addition to the statement regarding the
downtown.
b. The "Permitted Land Uses" set forth for the Central Business District Core
on pages 5 and 6 should be chaged by adding a provision which allows inst-
itutional uses, above the ground floor only. This is desired, because it
would allow the University to arrange with a developer to use space above
retail or other uses, on land purchased by the developer from Urban Renewal.
This is a modification of the prior "transition zone" concept, which would
allow University expansion at some time in the future, while at the same
time keeping the land and lower story structures on the tax roles.
C. The "Permitted Uses" set forth on page 7, lines 16-18 should be changed
to read, "Petted Uses: Classrooms, laboratories, meeting rooms,
faculty and administrative offices, research facilities, service
facilities, and off-street parking"'
d. The "Additional Controls and Objectives" set forth for the University Area
should be modified in the following ways:
I. Page 12, line's 15-22 should be changed to read, "Provide sites for the
orderly establishment and expansion of the State University of Iowa:
such uses North of Burlington Street to be limited to classroom teaching
and research facilities, faculty offices, and academic support
facilities such as library, museum, student and administrative services.
Uses South of Burlington Street are limited to those uses permitted
North of Burlington Street, and auxillary facilities such as off-street
parking, physical plant services, and research facilities."
2. The provision for a plaza set forth on page 12, lines 35-38 should be
deleted.
Members of the City Council
August 19, 1976
Page 2
3. The provision calling for off-street parking South of Burlington Street
set forth on page 13, lines 9-12 should be deleted. This is a carry
over provision from the earlier version of the plan which placed Block
93 in the University Area. Under the existing version of the plan, there
is no land South of Burlington Street, in the University Area which is
suitable for University parking.
4. The provision calling for a pedestrian overpass over Madison Street, set
forth on page 13, lines 14-17 should be deleted.
S. Consideration should be given to changing the eight story restriction
imposed on page 13, line 19, to fifteen stories. The eight story limit
coincided with the zoning restriction for the CB zone at the time it was
written. This zoning restriction has subsequently been changed to fif-
teen stories.
3) Staff will make several additional recommendations for changes at the time the
Planning and Zoning Commission's report, and these University recommendations
are discussed.
Depending upon Council decisions regarding the Planning and Zoning Commission's
recommendations, several additional changes may be required. There are several
provisions in the Plan which relate to plazas, pedestrian ways, and other uses
of closed rights-of-way. If the Council concurs with the recommendation that
most street closures be removed from the Plan, these provisions will have to
be deleted or completely re -written.
4) At the time these changes are discussed, additional changes desired by the
members of the City Council can also be discussed.

PRESS RELEASE
Old Capitol Associates
August 23, 1976
Old Capitol Associates was formed by a group of local
residents who were not political and who felt their one purpose
was to get the downtown rebuilt in the manner most consistent
with the unique quality of life in Iowa City. We felt that this
re -building of the tax -base was in the best interest of the whole
community and was not a political matter. However, there are
those who appear to be dedicated to preventing anything happening
downtown and therefore have chosen to make this urban renewal and
Old Capitol a political issue.
Ile, and the community as a whole, have now waited over three
months since the Judge's decision without any action to re -market
the land and we feel that none of us can wait any longer. We
must have positive action to see this project re -started. To
date, we have all seen a serious deterioration in public confi-
dence that anything good is going to happen in the foreseeable
future downtown. Even potential tenants are asking what assurance
they have that they are not going to be an island in a sea of
vacant lots and surface parking areas. Our investors are question-
ing the advisability of expending more funds and time on a
project that only we seem dedicated to see move forward.
We want to make it clear that the single developer concept
was succeeding --we were building Plaza Centre One, we were ready
to construct the auto bank and Perpetual Savings and Loan. Ile
were negotiating with a major department store in the mall area.
-2 -
we were negotiating the building of 120 units of housing which
would now be under construction and we would have paid two and
one-quarter million dollars for land that is still off the tar.
rolls. Nowhere in our plans did we include one-story block
buildings. [ie were ready to add seven to eight million dollars
to the tax rolls by actions we would have taken this year.
Improvements to those properties that O.C.A. now owns downtown
will increase their real estate taxes by 5-1/2 times.
Because our commitment is toward getting buildings built,
not Court suits, we made the decision to pass up the appeal of
the Court ruling, for an appeal would have meant a long delay and
further substantial loss of taxes, jobs and retail opportunities.
The primary objective of urban renewal as stated in the
urban renewal plan of 1969 was "to stimulate private investment
throughup blic action and commitment." To date, the private
commitment has been $400,000.00, excluding equities in our
properties, with little to show for it. Where is the public
action? Where is the public commitment?
In order not to lose the momentum being created through the
construction activities of our PC -I building, to show a real
intent by the City to carry on with urban renewal, to maintain
some degree of credibility with tenants and lending institutions
necessary to the future of the urban renewal program, and because
we want the program to continue, we are going to the Council at
this time, to present two specific immediate actions for getting
urban renewal back on the road.
-3-
1. OCA hereby submits its offer to purchase, immediately
from the City, the Clinton Street parking lot described as the
North 310 feet of the East one-half of Block 101 and also the
North 120 feet of the alley .in Block 101. We offer the purchase
price of $3.19,350.00 for the above-described tract•. This repre-
sents the average appraised value of the property as determined
by two independent appraisers hired by the City.
OCA has expended its time, money and effort to market
this property. It was OCA, and no one else, that put the package
of the two financial institutions together. We had real estate
contracts to build for both institutions. We were prepared to
begin construction March 1 on the auto bank for the Iowa State
Bank & Trust Co., and anticipated commencing construction on
Perpetual Savings & Loan June 1. We intend to abide by these
contracts and have stated our willingness to do so to both
institutions. Ile are eager to begin this year to bring to
fruition the two improvements which will add in the neighborhood
of $50,000.00 annually to the tax rolls.
2. We are at that time of year when we are all made too
painfully aware of the critical need for housing in our community.
It is our understanding that there is a consensus of the Council
to devote some land South of Burlington Street to residential
use. we are therefore recommending that the Council give urgent
and immediate attention to putting Parcels 93-1 and 101-2 out for
bids. toe are prepared to purchase these sites, with the vacated
Capitol Street, for residential use in the hope that construction
can begin this year.
-4 -
While the construction on these sites will help maintain the
continuity of the project, these buildings alone will not bring
us any nearer to the primary objective of urban renewal, the
redevelopment of the commercial center of the City. We are
urging the Council to diligently pursue a timely solution to the
marketing of the remaining commercial sites in the project area.
Every citizen of Iowa City, whether renter, homeowner, or
employee, has a stake in this urban renewal project. Our downtown
has been a commercial vacuum for almost two years. Ile urge every
citizen to assist the Council .in the decision-making process
regarding the completion of this 15 year old project.

RE: Scheduling of Urban Renewal Actions
As you have requested, I am setting forth a schedule of Urban Renewal actions
to he taken in the immediate future. This schedule applies to the consideration
of the Zuchelli contract, to the determination of a land marketing strategy
for the land north of Burlington, and for the consideration of the Urban
Renewal Plan.
The draft of the contract between the City of Iowa City and Zuchelli, Hunter
and Associates will be available for staff review by Friday, August 20. This
draft should be available for Council on Monday, August 23. The City staff
and City Council will review this draft and will, by telephone to Don Zuchelli,
make any required revisions. Concurrent with the completion of the scope of
services in this contract, Don Zuchelli will be working on a review of the
available market data, to formulate a marketing strategy for the land north
of Burlington. On Monday, August 30, Don Zuchelli will be in Iowa City to
present to the City Council his recommended marketing procedures for the land
north of Burlington. These recommendations will then be reflected in the final
scope of services contract which is presented to the City Council on August 30
for formal consideration on August 31. Hopefully, following Don Zuchelli's
statement on Monday, August 30, the Council will be in a position to formally
set a marketing strategy for the land north of Burlington Street on Tuesday,
August 31.
3. The Planning and Zoning Commission has completed its review of the Urban
Renewal Plan and I have forwarded these recommendations by memo, to the City
Council. We are to meet with the University of Iowa's representatives on
August 19 to receive any comments they would like to make regarding revisions
to the Urban Renewal Plan. I have been working on a draft resolution to amend
the Urban Renewal Plan. I would like to receive from the City Council
instructions concerning the drafting of amendments which will incorporate the
input from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the University, or additional
changes desired by the City Council, at the informal meeting on Monday,
August 23. If this is possible, I will be able to complete the resolution to
amend the plan by August 30, and a date for a public hearing and official
notice thereof can be established at the formal meeting of August 31.
This time schedule is a bit uncertain, because it is necessary to get direction
from the City Council on what additional changes need to be made. The amending
resolution should be in final form at the time that notice of the public
hearing is published, because it is necessary that this notice states that the
amendments under consideration are on file for public inspection. Section 403
of the Code of Iowa, which requires the public hearing, does not set forth any
time limits for holding public hearings. However, Section 362.3 of the 1975
Code of Iowa stipulates that notice of a public hearing should be published no
less than 4 nor more than 20 days prior to the hearing. We should thus be

RE: Equal Opportunity Commitment of City
Agreement with EEOC, Kansas City, as amended requires that each vacancy
be "opened up" to women and minorities and that over a two-year period
which ended in February, 1976, the City hire 33 1/3% females. The agree-
ment also required that the first three top level vacancies be filled
with women. Neither requirement was met by February 1976.
We are presently attempting to obtain a report of our status with respect
to the Agreement from the EEOC. (Copies of the agreement and amendments
are attached as Exhibit A.)
The federal money received by the City requires that the City not discrimi-
nate on irrational basis in providing services or in its employment
practices. The major sources of federal money presently are HUD and
Revenue Sharing (Exhibit B).
A broad variety of statutes at the federal and state level require non-
discrimination and/or affirmative action. Attached is a list of applicable
laws (Exhibit Q.
The City Council adopted affirmative action program which appears at pages
37 - 41 of Personnel Rules and Regulations (Exhibit D).

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
Why should an employer have an affirmative Action Policy?
For two reasons primarily:
1. It is to ensure the fair opportunity for employment of all
classes of people.
2. There may be serious legal implications if it does not.
1. Historically, women and minorities have been the victims of discrimina-
tion in employment, as well as in other areas of their lives. -It is
only in recent years that the law has attempted to.'change this situa-
tion, and changes have been coming so rapidly that it is often difficult
to keep up with them.
Even so, unemployment for blacks, other minorities and remains
far higher than that of white males. For the past is years the unemploy-
ment rate for nonwhites has been twice
such .;that for
whites ..:In .industries
as.,building construction, higher education," and.govemaint:civil
service, minorities and women are consistently absentor found in dis-
proportionate numbers in low-wage, low status jobs. In.faci, in our
country as a whole, minorities suffer discrimination in;their incomes.
In 1971 the median family income for whites was $10,672 -compared with
$6,440 for nonwhites. Similar figures can be found to.shaw
the low end of the income scale as well. .women on
-We have not had fair opportunity for.employment for women and, minorities,
and it is not easy to correct this situation.
— How do you move women and minorities into a system"that is domi-
nated by whites and men?
— How do you provide /
they have not had thheopportunities tt get -the minoritiee*4rien�n�t
the white men have who are competing for those top level jobs?
These are just two critical questions that must be dealt with through
affirmative action.
Affirmative Action is a remedial program to correct staffing patterns
which show flagrant underut— tration of minorities and women because of
the consequences of past discrimination which are Perpetuated into
present
employment systems; and Affirmative Action is to prevent future employment
discrimination which would tend to prolong, these SLd's&r inatOT, patterns.
Affirmative Action deals with recruitment, hiring, promotion, salaries and
wages, and other personnel matters in order to bring measurable,
impro__ vin hiring, training and promotion of minonties an earlwomen.
0
In order to achieve these results, one area that must be closely
scrutinized is the matter of qualifications or standards or tests
that are required of applicants for a given job. Such requirements
must be validated to be sure that they are absolutely essential for .
job performance. For example, a high school`or a college education `
may be part of the job description, but the employer must be able to,
prove that this, in fact, is absolutely essential for the performance
of the job. Even previous experience may not be absolutely essential
if the applicant has the ability to learn on the job. In an Affirma-
tive Action Program, the applicant does not always have to be qualified,
but s/he does have to be qualifiable - in other words, in order to
provide upward mobility to one who has been denied this opportunity for
so long, it may be necessary to give some extra training to this person
if it appears that s/he could then do the job.
Affirmative Action ensures the fair opportunity for employmentlor all
classes of people.
2. There may be serious legal implications if an Affirmative Action Program
is not implemented.
In the first place, an employer leaves itself open for complaints to be
filed against it if it does not follow procedures which ':are ,non -discrim-
inatory. This may be costly if probable cause is found and.'financial
remedies are required, and it is costly as well in time consumed' by the
employer in dealing with these charges.
Furthermore, if the employer receives federal funds, it"is_mandatory to
have an Affirmative Action Program.
In order to ensure affirmative action, anemployer should adopt.; and imple-
ment a policy an wwh ci promotes ensures equal opportunity for all persons
without regard to race, creed, color, national origin, religion, sex, age
and disability.
The policy of equality should go beyond employment policies and apply
to every aspect of its operation and activities.

Dear Councilperson:
The Committee on Community Needs has been allocated $5,000 in this
fiscal year to permit it to perform its numerous functions. According to
the resolution that officially established the committee, City Council
stated that, as one of CCN's duties, CCN will "provide a systematic
communication interchange between citizens and policymakers with regard
to all Housing and Community Development Act, Community Development Block
Grant applications and programs." As one element of this communication
process, CCN has decided to initiate a newsletter. A description of the
newsletter can be found in the minutes of CCN's August 4th meeting.
Since the City Council has in the past expressed a great amount of interest
in the citizen communication aspect of CCN's duties and has indicated a
desire to tie into any communications system that CCN develops we felt a
need for some feedback from the City Council members in regard to our
proposed newsletter. We would appreciate any ideas, suggestions or
criticisms. We would also appreciate it if your input could be in writing
because of problems that arise in passing information by word of mouth in
our rather large group. The other members of the Communications Subcommittee
which will be in charge of the newsletter are: Jim Hall, 712 Second Avenue
(337-S365); Horace Amidon, 830 N. Dodge (338-6438); Bill Dennis, 702 Iowa
Avenue (338-8861); and Mark Janiuk, 1110 N. Dubuque (351-3583). Please
feel free to contact us. Thank you.

critique the various program components as developed.
SUMMARY OF ISSUES DISCUSSED:
I. Mike Kucharzak opened the meeting with a historical summary of federal
housing rehabilitation programs which laid the ground work for the CDBG
funded program (outline of presentation attached).
2. A discussion of the program's property improvement standards presented the
possibility of using:
a. The City's Minimum Housing Standards -- a code which establishes basic
requirements for safe and sanitary housing.
b. The Minimum Housing Standards plus energy saving improvements, such as
insulation, caulking, etc.
c. The Minimum Housing Standards plus fire detectors.
Participants were cautioned that by requiring improvements above Minimum
Housing Standards, the cost to the lower income homeowner might be too high,
even though the improvements would prove beneficial.
The question was raised, if the additional improvements are not required what
individual is going to determine the eligibility of these improvements. The
responses included:
The program manual and program goal, the dollar ceiling placed on grants and
loans and a program clause allowing for improvement of incipient code violations.
a. If the purpose of the program is to assist the current structures occupant
only. the restrictions will be different than if the program is to improve
structure's life span and utility as a housing unit in Iowa City.
b. When the loan or grant maximum limit is reached, additional improvements
will be at the homeowner's expense only.

c. A program clause could set aside a certain percentage of dollars to be
available for incipient code violations -- those structural characteristics
which will soon have outlived their life span and will soon be code
violations.
The eligibility of improvements for only asethic value will be questionable.
Room additions will be made only as required by code.
3. The program will be administrated by three city staff people. These
individuals' typical job duties were described. The homeowner will contract
with the tradesmen to have work completed. The city staff will provide
assistance as needed and supervise the contractor's work.
4. The housing rehabilitation program is not to be a normal City activity to take
any responsibility away from existing housing inspection programs nor building
code inspections. If the housing inspection Minimum Housing Standards are
used, many of the structures involved may have been previously inspected by
that department, with this program providing a solution. With structural
improvements being made, building permits must be obtained and proper standards
met, and inspections must be made. It was cautioned that efforts must be made
to minimize the total number of inspectors touring the structure to preserve
the homeowners' privacy and acceptance of the program.
5. Who is to make the final inspection of the improvement and workmanship and thus
okay the contractor's payment will be based on the homeowner's satisfaction and
the construction specialist's expertise. The construction specialist at
times may become an arbitrator. When the program details are defined, the
standard contract will be written to include final inspection procedures.
6. If the total cost of the structure's improvements equals more than 50% of the
structure's value, the structure must be brought up to building code levels.
There was much discussion about the conflict of this requirement with the
program's goal to provide decent housing economically for participants. There
was also much discussion about the definition of the structures value --
real vs. market vs. assessed -- governing the rules mandating the use of new
building codes to the improvement standards. This topic will have to be
readdressed as the program develops.
7. Self-help home improvements are very attractive to CCN members' ideas of program
design, but at the same time are harder, if not impossible, to administer
efficiently. This topic will be readdressed as the program develops.
8. The question of interested contractors availability in Iowa City was discussed.
It was stated that larger contractors will most likely be interested in only
larger contracts. The smaller contractors will be leary of restriction clauses
and tight regulations. An informational meeting will be called, before program
implementation, to explain procedures to all interested Iowa City contractors.
9. The next meeting for this group will be held in two weeks to consider additional
issues affecting the program's development.

TI(E EVOLUTION OF CDBG HOUSING REHABILITATION
prepared by Mike Kucharzak (8-18-76)
In order to better understand our goals and objectives for property REHABILITATION,
let us review some of the old Federal programs that preceded block grant funding
and in so doing attempt to understand the development of the philosophy of REHAB
and the governmental supporting role.
REHAB is not a new program. It has been around as a federally funded program since
the 19601s, however, the approaches used in early renewal efforts differed consider-
ably from present goals and objectives.
CITY DEVELORMENT
The establishment of cities as centers of trade or transportation resulted in a
clustering of structures forming a Central Business District (CBD) or a downtown.
Since the CBD was one of the earliest recognizable elements of a city it became
the first to show signs of obsolecence and deterioration. The citizens looked
at their CBD as the Heart of the City and when the "Heart" became old and weak
group concern pressed for means of revitalizing the heart to pump new life into
the entire city.
CITIES INITIATE RENEWAL
The Federal government responded to the request of cities for aid by developing
Urban Renewal programs for blight and slum elimination. Early planning methodology
stressed that old is bad and new is better, a sign of health and vitality. Old
structures were acquired, torn down and some new buildings built in their place.
As the downtown became "renewed" concern was voiced about the blight surrounding
the new downtown. The areas of concern were traditionally the oldest housing of
the city that through years of changing ownership, occupancy and demands for
maintenance resulted in a cluster of old structures, lacking modern conveniences
and amenities. These older structures were long neglected in maintenance and
therefore were not considered as desireable housing by citizens who could afford
better accommodations.
Again, the planning and renewal appraoch was to tear down the blight and reuse the
land for more suitable and economically more profitable use such as expanding the
CBD area.
RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION
Many of the early renewal efforts were in the older large cities of the U.S.
Economic pressures of full development of these cities began to influence planners
to pressure for saving older structures. The masonry row housing of the eastern
cities lent itself well to preservation. Professionals argued that old is not
necessarily bad and European cities have viable housing that is centuries old and
the American "throw away" culture cannot be applied to urban problems.
Practicioneers looked at the old row housing surrounding the CBD and developed
programs to restore the existing architecture. The programs were expensive, and
C

�j
monied investors were actively participating. The Federal government provided
lower than market loans under Section 220 of the (lousing Act. The results were
amazing. Where once slum housing existed, we now saw cleaned brick structures,
copper gutter systems, ornamental iron work, shutters, brass lanterns, brick
paving and gracious interiors. Housing resources, at government sponsorship and
financing -- not for the poor or middle class, but for the upper income people.
From slum to posh. Ghetto to Georgetown.
WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE?
Little governmental concern was voiced regarding the people that lived in the
renewal area. The philosophy of renewal, in force at the time, work on the
premise that if we eliminate slum housing, the occupants of that housing will on
their own seek out and find decent, safe and sanitary housing. Economics were not
considered, and the poor had little political influence to change the trend.
As this pattern became repeated through even larger circles around the CBD's and
in city after city, the frustration and anger of the displaced poor became heard
in Council chambers and Congress and the chants of "Urban Renewal - Negro Removal"
became an issue to be dealt with.
The Federal government modified the Renewal structures to obligate cities
receiving Federal assistance to offer relocation assistance to displaced families,
and to change the planning so as to conserve more housing and minimize clearance.
CONSERVATION BECCldES REHABILITATION
The Federal government now instructed cities to control the construction standards
on their preservation programs to assure that the minimum requirements of Decent
Safe and Sanitary housing are met by requiring local governments to adopt housing
and building codes. To further assure a more lasting Rehabilitation effort, the
codes were reviewed for content (workable program certification) and if found to
be silent or weak in some area, obligated cities to incorporate within Urban
Renewal plans, Property Rehabilitation Standards (PRS) which obligated owners to
go beyond code in repairing their structures. Financial incentives to owners
came from Federal rehabilitation grants under Section 115 and low interest long
term loans under Section 312 of the Housing Act.
CONCENTRATED CODE ENFORCENfENT PROGM S
One Federal experimental approach was the development of Concentrated Code
Enforcement programs (CE 117) which were intended to deal not with slum elimination,
but to complement Renewal efforts by permitting a city to receive Federal financial
assistance for a neighborhood beginning to show physical signs of deterioration.
The program methodology was to concentrate, within three years, housing code
enforcement efforts within that neighborhood to arrest the decline and stabilize
the community. Federal REHAB loans and grants were available to property owners,
and the city could provide capital improvements, but no clearance. The program

was designed to arrest blight and to assure relocated citizens of other Renewal
arrest, decent, safe and sanitary housing resources within the community. The
program elements were sound, but it never achieved much success mainly due to federal
housing officials rejecting funding requests from cities as being in "too good of
an area" and forcing communities to attempt to use the limited program benefits
in areas of housing deteriorated far beyond the scope of the financial and
environmental supportive tools available.
Housing Renewal wasn't working.
Concentrated Code Enforcement %rasn't permitted to work, so the Federal government
tried something else.
NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELAPMENT PROGWIS
Old urban renewal regulations required a long period of time from the identification
of an area as requiring attention, to the actual receipt of Federal dollars. It
was not unusual to see five years pass before renewal activities began and seven
or more years before completion. Some cities today are laboring in Renewal programs
that are 20 years old!
The effect of this process was devastating. Instead of upgrading a neighborhood,
the decline of neighborhoods was accelerated. Owners would refuse to maintain
their properties because of the possibility of acquisition in the future. Rumors
of bulldozers coming caused residents to leave and stable re -occupancies were
difficult to encourage. Projects that were conceptualized as REHAB neighborhoods
deteriorated so completely that by the time of project execution they should have
been reclassified for clearance programs.
Neighborhood Development Programs (NDP) were designed to undertake planning and
execution simultaneously and were funded on an annual request basis. Although
relatively short lived, the program began to achieve success by involving the
citizens in the decision making process and by focusing in on neighborhood problem
solving, rehabilitation of existing housing, and producing results in relatively
short periods of time.
CMfUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLACK GRANT
In 1974 the Federal government decided to discontinue categorical funding of
individual projects such as NDP and instead allocate sums of money as Block Grants
to communities. Cities in turn could then design and implement programs suited
to their local needs and utilize the Block Grant monies in a more innovative and
expedicious manner.

For the pact seventeen years Marjorie 13. Ilayek liar, been
the owaer of real estate in Iowa City described as the east half of
Uutlot Fourteen. As you know, thin property adjoins P[appy Hollow

For those approximately seventeen years, the property owner
and the City have had a mutually beneficial agreement wherein the above
described property was utilized for public parking purposes in support
Of City sponsored athletic events at the )Nappy Hollow Playground as
well as for general public use of the playground
aware, a written agreement was executed by the property owner amend tthhe
City of Iowa City in November of 1974, which provided for a continuation
of this relationship from year to year subject to the parties executing
an extension agreement on an annual basis. The property owner bene-
fitted from this seventeen-year relationship by the City providing mowin-,
services for the real estate.
As you have pointed out to me, approximately three weeks ago,
the written agreement referred to above, between the property owner
and the City of Iowa City, expired in November of 1975. You also
Indicated that you had some hesitation in recommending to the Council
an extension of that agreement due to the costs to the City of Iowa City
for !rlowiug the subject property.
The property owner has now made the decision to actively plan
for the development of Outlot r ourteen. Consequently, we feel that it is
in the interest of all parties concerned to not extend the agreement which
expired last November, and to ask the City to terminate all public use of
the subject property by October 15, 197G. This termination date provides
for continued use through the summer to minimize the inconvenience to
the public for parking for summer Brown Street playground activities.
Of course, as we are consenting to continued use until October 15, 1975,
We would appreciate continued mowing services until that time.

STAFF REPORT
Planning $ Zoning Commission
August 19, 1976
SUBJECT: Z-7611. Application submitted by Heritage
Systems to rezone a tract of land south of
Benton Street across from the Seville
apartments from an R3A Zone to a PC Zone
for the development of a neighborhood convenience center; date filed: 7/26/76;
45 -day limitation: 9/9/76.
STAFF According to Section 8.10.17.1C of the
ANALYSIS: Zoning Code, "before the rezoning of any
tract to Planned Commercial district
zoning will be considered by the Planning
and Zoning Commission and the City Council, the owner or owners shall submit
to the City a report concerning (1) the economic feasibility of a planned
commercial district at the location of their tract, (2) the effect of such
a planned commercial district on the surrounding property, and (3) the impact
of traffic generated by such a planned commercial district on the surrounding
streets." The following analysis is presented to assist the Commission in
making a determination of the acceptability of a PC Zone at the above location
on the basis of the abovementioned concerns.
The concept of a neighborhood convenience center is perhaps more misconstrued
in its application to a neighborhood or to the effect upon a community as a
whole than any other type of facility. This is understandable since there
are not any commercial centers within the City which incorporate all of the
necessary elements characteristic of a neighborhood convenience center. The
Towncrest centers, the Court Street and Scott Boulevard areas zoned C2, and
the Mormon Trek Boulevard and Benton Street areas zoned CH or C1 with enough
land area for commercial development comparable to a Sycamore Mall with
probably as many diversified uses, are not perceived to be (and probably
weren't to objectionable neighbors) as neighborhood convenience centers.
Neighborhood convenience centers should be likened to passive and active
neighborhood recreational areas, elementary schools, and other facilities
which provide a convenient and essential service to the neighborhood and not
to the community as a whole. Attached as a supplement to this analysis are
excerpts from various sources setting forth the planning and design criteria
essential for the development of neighborhood convenience centers.
The proposed neighborhood convenience center would be located in the
approximate center of a neighborhood generally described by the boundaries
Melrose Avenue on the north, Riverside Drive on the east, Highway 1 on the
south and Sunset Street on the west. The economic analysis and feasibility

Tnbu:ary Area. The small neighborhood type of shopping center sho

cons dered as a local convenience and service facility which must depend largely
limited residential
pop
wilation
thin a relatively small surrounding tributary trading area. It is only rarely thatuthe
small center will draw a substantial amount of trade from other areas. It should be
borne in mind that unless there is a strong trend toward population growth within
the trade area, not every small center is a potential community center.
Experience has shown that neighborhood convenience centers need aminimum
of 1,000 families within the immediate tributary area in order to have a fair chance
of success. With this population, a minimum center of 8-12 shops with a minimum
site area of 4 acres can usually be supported under average conditions. A super-
market or drug store will be the main tenant and average gross floor area of the
center will be 40,000 square feet, though the range may be over this figure for
average size.
Support of the center must be gauged in terms of the average buying power of
the Iamilies in the primary trade area; a low to medium income group may require
UP to twice this number of families. With a supermarket as major tenant it will draw
easily from a distance of one and a half miles.
Competition. The second factor to consider is the location of a shopping center
with relation to both the existing and probable future competition which may be
expected from other business districts. Well located shopping centers may, on the
average, be found at intervals of 1/2 to 1 mile, depending upon the type of develop-
ment in terms of families per acre or square mile and the range of income groups to
be served.
It is not advisable to generalize too broadly in determining the tributary area of
any given center, as local factors will be determining. The point should be made,
however, that one strong center with its own tributary area is always better tfian
two weak ones with substantially overlapping areas. Where there is existing com-
petition or potentially favorable locations for shopping centers within distances
substantially less than those mentioned, the developer should consider his own
Project
with extreme care.
Access Streets. The third factor from the location standpoint is the relation of the
street system to the contemplated shopping center. Best locations will normally be
found on major streets and preferably at or near the intersections of main or
secondary thoroughfares. The specific location should also be situated so that it is
easily accessible from its tributary area, both by pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Centers which have been located off the main traffic routes with access to them
only over minor residential streets have seldom proved successful. If possible,
choose a site where the street system within the tributary shopping area feeds
more or less directionally toward the shopping center area. If a new area is being
developed. the access street system can, of course, be designed with this element
in mind.
Topography. The fourth factor is topography. A shopping center site ordinarily
should be relatively level with grades not exceeding 21/2 to 3 percent—flatter if
Possible. Greater grades create a resistance to local shoppers as well as to pass-
ing street traffic. Grades at store fronts of not over 1 to 11/4 percent are ideal In that
they provide' adequate drainage and permit store floors to slope without grade
breaks at frequent intervals. A sloping site may be adapted by using split -leve:
construction in the building.
Many authorities advocate that a small center be located on the "going home"
Side of the street. This will usually depend on the type and size of the center, local

improvements. Long runs toreach available utilitysconnectionsishould be avoided.
On-site improvements are items installed at the developer's expense as part of hie:
overall building construction costs. Besides the utilities these include the roadways'
for interior circulation on the property, parking areas, Outside lighting, and land-.
scaping.
PLANNING THE SITE •`'
Store Types. The initial site for a small center should generally not contain les`
than four to five acres. Site depths of 400 feet are desirable in order to provide both -
off-street parking and store service. This depth is, of course, not always obtainable
where sites are in areas already subdivided. The developer should not overtook
the possibility of expanding his center at some future time, and, if possible; he
should reserve additional land for this purpose which can be put to some tempor-
ary commercial use in the interim period. Initial construction might contemplate
approximately 10 stores in the following order:
1. Supermarket.
2. Drug Store—with some eating facilities.
3. Cleaner and Dyer Shop, which could be combined with a laundry agency,
4, Beauty Parlor.
5. Filling Station.
6, Bakery (this might depend on provision by grocery).
7. Shoe Repair.
8. Laundry Agency (possibly in rear of another store).
9. Variety Shop. •
10. Barber Shop.
Variations from this basic list, of course, will occur, depending upon the indi-
vidual case. For instance, in an area of small apartments, a restaurant might be'.
desirable among the first ten tenants. The drug store and supermarket form the
basis -for any center, however, and no center can be considered complete without
them.
Store Grouping, The grouping of stores In a small center does not assume the
importance which Is involved in the larger center. However, the location of the drug
store and supermarket will tend to anchor the group. The drug store should usually
have the prime location, preferably the comer store, if the development is at the
intersection of two streets. The other end of the group should normally be Occupied`s`
by the supermarket, The smaller shops located between have the benefit of the
pedestrian traffic generated between the two. If the center grows, the relocation of
one or more tenants will probably become desirable.

The location of the neighborhood shopping center is generally located on
the arterial street at the intersection of a collector street. Adequate parking
in relationship to number of stores must be provided. The houses adjacent
to the shopping center must be properly protected with planting or fences.

Requirements listed above may be met by a sepa-
rate community building for each neighborhood, in
new or existing buildings such as churches, YMCA's,
etc., or by the elementary school if permitted by its
design and operation.
Use of the school building assures the economy of
multiple use. Provision of aseparatecommunity build-
ing gives greater flexibility and makes it easier for
organizations with daytime activities to operate with-
out interference. The choice will depend on the follow-
ing local conditions;
a) whether school authorities are able and willing
to provide the additional facilities necessary for
a "community school" and to permit the regular
use of parts of the school building at all times;
b) whether other appropriate buildings are avail-
able to all residents;
c) whether there are existing or potential organ-
izations within the community which signify
their willingness and ability to operate in the
community building and to pay rent which will
cover the construction and maintenance costs;
d) whether the financial structure of the proposed
development makes the construction and opera-
tion of a community building practicable as a
part of the development itself.
One means of avoiding duplication of facilities
would be to combine thcschool and a small community
building into a single community center. School au-
ditoria, playrooms and classrooms can then be used,
while office and storage space and special facilities
such as a reading room, game room, kitchen and work-
shop can be provided within the community building.
In this case, the nursery school and health center may
well become a part Of the community center.

23. NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Neighborhood shopping facilities are considered to
include only those stores and service establishments
which are used frequently by all families and which
should be easily accessible to the home.
Shopping is normally the only neighborhood com-
munity facility which is not at least partly subsidized
by a public or voluntary agency. The enterpriser in
this case may be a chain store, a department store, an
individual shopkeeper or a cooperative society. Such
variants as these affect the planning procedures but
have no material ciTcct on space standards. The shop-
ping center may be constructed by the developer or
by the firms that will operate the stores. The chief
planning considerations are the need to include the
proper types of facilities and the need for enough con-
trol over the physical plant to preserve the architec-
tural and other amenities of the neighborhood.

in church buildings.

TYPES OF SERVICES ASU FAC-1111'IES
The types of goods required in the HIS
arc determined by'Yheir importance to daily family
life. The minimumIcquirement, that a grocery store
and drug store be available within the neighborhood,
is based on the fact that lack of food shopping facili-
ties, especially for perishables, may affect nutrition;
and that lack of medicine and first-aid supplies may be
serious in an accident or acute illness,
The following list of basic facilitieswhich may be
included in the shopping center of a residential neigh-
borhood is given as an illustration rather than a rec-
ommendation. It has been used as the basis for space
allowances in Table 10.
Food market (including specialty foods such as
bakery and delicatessen goods);
Drugstore (including reading matter, stationery,
tobacco and vanity goods);
Barber shop, beauty parlor-, laundry and dry clean-
ing pickup service; shoe repair and shoeshine sery
ice; auto service station (including filling station,-
minor repairs and auto accessories).
In isolated developments, a dry goods and hardware
store, leading library and restaurants may appropri-
atcly be included.
The provision of shopping facilities is primarily an
economic problem. However, it has a bearing on
amenity of the neighborhood, in that a sound eco-
nomicapproach in the choice ofstores and servjceswill
avoid an oversupply of small marginal stores which
tend toward frequent change of ownership and in-
stability.
The neighborhood shopping center should contain
only the types and number oCstores which can be well
supported by the population.SO Support implies not.,
only that the stores can make a fair profit but that
their volume of.business will be large enough in rela-
tion to overhead costs so that the residents of the neigh-
borhood will obtain goods at average prices.
On this basis, cite stores and services to be included
will be those for which the total sales volume required
for efficient store operation will be equaled by the
estimated purchasing power and demand within the
neighborhood.fl

should be: 'Sit useful to the majority of ti:e residents?
can it be economically supported? is there any nuisance
attached which would make it undesirable in a resi-
dential arca (as noise from a dance hall)?
AREA REQUIREMENTS
Table 10 gives assumed sizes for neighborhood
shopping centers fora range of neighborhood popu-
lation, ranging from 0.8 acre to 3 acres. These sizes
arc based on normal mcrchandizing practice for the
types of stores indicated. Changes in store types would
Of course require changes in area, as would variations
in need for parking. The total space includes building
coverage, service and customer parking and circula-
tion space, but does not include special buffer strips
which may be needed for protection of nearby resi-
dences. It is assumed that the site will be ]aid out so
that these can bincluded in the neighborhood park.
Otherwise, shopping center size should be materi-
ally increased.
LOCATION AND SITE REQUIREMENTS
Location ofshopping and other community, facilities
Close together is generally desirable. Under normal
conditions all shopping facilities in the neighborhood
should be combined in one location, for the conveni-
cncc of the shopper. Furthermore, a shopping center,
unlike scattered stores, can effectively provide buffer
strips, adequate parking and protection from future
uncontrolled spread of commerce.
Design of the shopping center should prevent con-
flict between the three types of circulation: pedestrian
shoppers, shoppers in automobiles and vehicle
icing the stores. serv-
Service areas should be designed in a manner which
Will avoid rat and insect breeding grounds. Impervi-
ous, easily cleaned court surfaces and provision for
sanitary outdoor storage of wastes are needed.
Enough planting should be provided around the
shopping center to protect nearby residential strut-
tures from noise, traffic hazards and glare.

facilities; and participation of the neighborhood in the
official and voluntary public health programs of the
locality.
Availability of a physician within or close to the
neighborhood is a minimum essential. Medical and
dental offices can usually be provided in buildings of
the neighborhood commercial center.
It will seldom be possible to provide new hospital
facilities for a single residential neighborhood, but in
isolated locations thought should be given to emer-
gency facilities ih connection with a doctor's office.
Local school health services will normally be ex-
tended to the neighborhood school, and needed ex-
amination or office rooms should be included in its
design, of course after consultation with local health
authorities. Decentralization of other public health
nin, will be governed by the official health dcp.trt-
ment. Technical assistance may also be had from the

plaits for health centers that can be adapted to I. is

from anPC
(see Z-7611) NRD p proposedtion neighborhoodRconvenienceZone toacenterne
has been submitted for review and consideration by the City.
Upon review of the preliminary plan by the Planning Division, several
deficiencies were noted and minor alterations and additions were suggested
as follows:
I. The location of all existing utilities and the proposed necessary
extention of utilities with appropriate easements should be indicated.
2. The date of the plan should be indicated.
3. A cross section of the parking areas and driveways should be provided
to indicate the type of construction and materials and specifications
proposed which meet acceptable standards.
4. The proposed methods of buffering the development from adjacent land
uses should be illustrated. The staff felt that if the requirements
Of the proposed "tree ordinance" were applied in this case, this
condition would be met (the staff will present a suggested landscaping
plan at the informal meeting).
S. The most important aspect of the entire plan is the uses proposed to
be incorporated within the neighborhood convenience center. Attached
hereto is a letter from American Home and Land Corporation indicating
contemplated uses. Of the uses indicated, all of the "first priority"
business were considered acceptable except for medical offices and a
hardware store having community -wide support. The staff, however,
would not object to a drug store or variety store selling a line of
hardware products. None of the "second priority" uses were found
acceptable with the exception of a tobacco shop. It is important
to determine which business would cater to the neighborhood only,
avoiding any business which might depend upon community -wide support.

The Planning and Engineering staffs reviewed the subject plat. Deficiencies
with Chapter 9.5o of the Municipal Code have been noted and the following
changes should be made:
1. The right-of-way of Dover and Esther Streets should be
shown on the plat.
2. An inlet on the north end of Dover Street should be

ing the urban renewal oroJect, specifically the sale of land to
the banks, and Plaza Centre I. He proposed two specific actions:
(1) OCA offered to purchase the Clinton Street
north 310 feet of the east one-half of Block 101) andQthe north
120 feet of the alley in Block 101. The purchase price offered
was $3.19,350, which represented the average appraised value.
This could add an estimated $50,000.00 to the tax roll. (2) They
recommended Council give urgent attention to putting Parcels
93-1 and 101-2 out for bid. They are prepared to purchase these
sites. Fie presented a memorandum concerning these proposals.

Redevelopment Specialist Paul Glaves explained the appraisals
for 93-1 and 101-2. Under fair market value they were $319,384
and $394,500. Subject to several restrictions they were
$287,200 and $319,000.
Mayor Neuhauser asked if it was the Council's intent to see the
banks built. There were no Council objections. Discussion in-
cluded: possible agree;;ent between bank and OCA; status of nego-
tiations with City and banks; if the banks do not build, whether
or not to bid the property; obligation of City to the citizens.
Observations made were: Iowa State Bank is questioning their
decision to build a facility downtown for Plaza Centre I; OCA
is ffeing the same

The Council directed the staff to (1) find out if the banks are
interested in building on the proposed sites, and (2) if they
wish to deal with the City or Old Capitol.
Discussion of the appraisals for property south of Burlington
followed. Only two proposals for appraisal services have been
received. The time delays were discussed. The Mayor pointed
out that the weekly reports were helpful.
Councilman Balmer pointed out that the proposal from old Capitol
Associates indicated a good faith effort on their part and he
appreciated their interest. others agreed.

COUncil Discussion
August 23, 1976
Glaves advised that he needed to know Council's feelings on
the P&Z recommendations from their August 5th minutes. These
were then discussed: Paragrah 2 - consensus to agree with recom-
mendation. Paragraph 3 - no change. Paragraph 4 - after out-
lining the closures on the street map, Glaves noted that it
could be stated in the Plan that the development of the area will
consider closure of streets. This will give positive guidance
to any bidder. There were no basic objections to proceeding in
this way. The traffic circulation study depends on the market-
ing and parking decisions. Paragraph 5 - no change. Paragraph 6 -
should not be in the Plan amendment, but it will be considered.
Paragraph 7 - a design consideration to be suggested in the market-
ing document. Paragraph 8 - same as 7. Paragraph 9 - no change.
Paragraph 10 - no change. Paragraph 11 - it was suggested that
the Finance Department consider this recommendation. Discussion

P&Z request- to review any street closures was noted.
DISCUSSION WITH UNIVERSITY REPRRCAthimhmTAa
Dick Gibson was present for the discussion of the comments in the
August 19th memo from Glaves to the Council. Concerning para-
graph 2b, Council discussed limiting the uses to above the second
floor.. The observation was made that use of space in this manner
meant that other space would not have to be taken off the tax
rolls. Also this would provide an economic stimulus for a develop-
er. There was a consensus to change to "above second floor".
It was noted that only the first two floors of the Jefferson
Building are on the tax rolls.
Council also agreed on 2c, 2d.1, 2d.2; agreed to delete 2d.3 and
2d.4. It was pointed out that 2d.5 was a correction of an incon-
sistency; Council agreed to the change.
Councilwoman deProsse left the meeting.

on City revenues should be indicated. The City Attorney was
directed to have the ordinance for the first consideration on
the 24th.
Councilman Balmer voiced concern over the absences of members
on Commissions. The Mayor suggested that a letter be sent from
the Mayor and Council. The City Manager thought that the require-
ments for members should be spelled out in the initial letter of
appointment and suggested that a letter be sent. to all members
reminding them how important it is to have them attend the meet-
ings.
Councilman Balmer questioned how the Municipal Campaign Finance
Qrdinance could be changed so that it would come into compliance.
City Attorney Hayek advised that he would draft alternative pro-
posals.
Councilman Vevera asked for information concerning the lawsuit
filed by the City against Westinghouse. This was investigated
by the Human Relations Commission. Westinghouse does not recog-
nize pregnancy as a condition for which compensation is payable.
Councilman Vevera noted that the City has a pregnant woman police
officer still on duty. The City Manager will check to make sure
the City is following the law.
Councilman Vevera questioned when the appraisals for Block 103
would be available. Glaves noted that it would beat least 30
days, although, if Council wanted, it could be the first one
done. It was pointed out that this could be done with Blocks
101 and 93. Glaves noted problems with HUD appraisals for hous-
ing which Lyle Seydel is investigating.
Councilman Vevera noted dissatisfaction with the work done on the
Slurry Seal Project and the Park Bridge, advising that he had re-
ceived several complaints. The City Manager advised that the
Public Works Director would report to the Council.
Councilman Vevera called attention to the problems Bud Louis is
having concerning his property on Foster Road. City Manager
Berlin advised that as the land has been divided into three par-
cels, he will need to have it platted as a subdivision before
he can get a building permit. This should have been noticed
when the land sale was made. There is no other resolution of
the problem.
Attorney Hayek advised that he would report later on the legality
of the referendum and initiative procedures in the Iowa City
charter.

for the Boulder, Colorado, city manager position.

tive session for discussion of litigation and purchase of property.
