Application submitted by Heritage Systems,.Scott Barker, Attorney, for rezoning a tract of land, R3A to PC, -Located on 800 block of West Benton "Street. Date filed: 7/26/76; 45 -day limitation:" 9/9/76. The following people spoke against the proposed rezoning:" 1. William G. Buss, 747 West Benton 2 -Donald W. Sutherland, 725 West Bent cea i. Ilwang Sun Tak, 911 Talwrn Court •1. Barbara Buss, 747 West Benton S. .Jan Pardubsky, 918'T:alwrn-Court - --" 6. Lance Levis, 101S West Benton Some of the reasons given for objecting to the proposed rezo follows: ning were as 1. The rezoning would change the character of the residential neighborhood and would generate additional traffic on West Benton Street which could be dangerous for children walking .to and from -school. 2. There is -no -need for additional commercial development in, the area. 3. Would the proposed convenience center be in the best interests of the entire City? 4. Autos are allowed by law to turn right after stopping at a red light. Children are often too young to appreciate traffic signalization and increased traffic could be hazardous. The following people spoke in favor of the proposed rezoning:' 1. Frank Eicher, 11 Lakeview Drive 2. Francis:llamit, commercial real estate broker for the proposed center. - 3. Scott Barker, attorney representing Heritage Systems. 4.- Wendell -Thomas, 1201 W. Benton S. Gerald Tauchner, Marketing Consultant Some of the reasons given for favoring the proposed rezoning were as follows: I. PC, zoning would reduce the potential density of an R3A Zone and the center would provide_a convenience to the neighborhood. - 2. A marketing study completed for the areaindicatesa need for a neighborhood convenience center in the area. 3. The shopping center would not increase vehicular traffic on West`Benton Street. - -. -4- d. The majority of the residential population is located westcof the proposed stropping center. -Scott Barker, attorney, stated that Heritage Systems is willing to offer any reasonable guarantee as to the nature and quality of the establishment and would be willing to pay -for pedestrian traffic signalization. Chairman Ogesen questioned whether there was any precedent fora private developer to install a -traffic signal -in Iowa :City.'Dtr.'Barker stated that he was unaware of any precedent regarding traffic signalization but Heritage Systems is willing to assume the expense which is estimated to be.approximately $9,000. Commissioner Cain noted that there is a precedent for participation;. in cost of traffic signalization but it is the City's responsibility to actually.instail signals and signs. Commissioner 'Jakobsen 'stated 'that traffic signalizationdoes not seem to be in the PF,Z,Commission's area:-of.purview. Lance Levis questioned what control the City .would have over the development of the property:' Don Schmeiser;;Senior, Planner, stated that the property would have to be developed according to the approved plan. Commissioner Blum expressed concern about the legality of a commercial develop- ment which was not contemplated in the existing;Comprehensive Plan.He stated that Heritage Systems had done excellent work in laying out.their plan and said the proposed development- :would likely generate less traffic than develop- ment of the property at its full potential for apartments under the existing zoning. Chairman 0 esen stated that the proposed ' g p posed reioning should -be considered the same as other rezonings and that each time a rezoning isrecommended for - approval by the City Council, it constitutes an amendment to the existing , Comprehensive Plan. A motion was made by .Jakobsen, seconded by Cain; to recommend to the City Council approval of Z-7611, application submitted by Heritage Systems for rezoning a tract of land, R3A to PC,. located on the 800 block of West Benton Street. Commissioner Jakobsen stated that she would cast a negative vote because owners - of property on both sides of the Heritage Square site object to the development, the center may cause traffic problems, and the existing_ Comprehensive Plan does not contemplate commercial development in the area. Commissioner Kammermeyer stated that he'was favorably inclined to the rezoning but would want to regulate hours, install some type of pedestrian crossing device„ and restrict the types' -of stores allowed in -the -center. A motion was made_ by. Blum,, seconded by Vetter, to amend the original motion contingent upon an opinion from the Legal Staff that the rezoning, would constitute an amendment to the existing Comprehensive Plan. ' Commissioner Jakobsen stated that she would vote against the amendment because of the time involved in obtaining a legal opinion. -Commissioner Cain stated that if a legal opinion were available, she would be in favor of the -amendment. The motion failed to carry by a 2-5 vote (voting yes were Blum and Cain; voting no were Ogesen, Jakobsen, Vetter, Kammermeyer and Lehman). A vote on the original motion carried 4-3 (voting yes were Lehman, Kammermeyer, Vetter and Cain; voting no were"Ogesen, .Jakobscn and Blum). _ Chairman Ogesen stated that he was opposed to the rezoning because property owners on both sides of the subject property_ objected to the development. Commissioner Cain said she voted yes because "soci.ety in general has.to get away from using cars" and HeritagerSquare -would reduce dependence on the car by making it possible for nearby residents to .walk to the convenience center for their shopping errands.

Mr. Robert Staley, petitioner, explained that a large oak tree on his property would be endangered if he had to conform to the 30' setback requirement from McLean Street. lie would like to be excused from that requirement, he said. Commissioners suggested that Mr. Staley go to the Board of Adjustment to request a variance from the 30' setback requirement but cautioned that the Board approved variances onthe basis of hardship. Chuck Dore, 406 Lexington Avenue, James Stronks 351 Hutchinson Avenue, and another adjacent property owner spoke against the proposed vacation for some - of the following reasons: (1) the vacation would not add to the value;; of other people's property, (2)<adjacent;property owners' have maintained the street 'for years, and (3) the subject property may become more valuable to the City in Years to-come.

Criteria for Determining Private Club Status General Principles The exemption for private clubs from public accommodation slaws is based upon the idea that a private club is an extension of one's home., The law does not attempt to regulate discrimination in a'private home. The rpurposs of the r criteria is to evaluate when a club ceases to be an extensionof the home and begins to.be a public accommodation. 1. Selectivity in Membership Two methods may be used to select new members A. A club may exercise selectivity by excluding categories of persona with certain criteria such as education,`income, political association,_ and . professional: status. D. Existingmembers, either directly or by committee, interview prospec- tive applicants and decide to extend membership on the basis of subjective and > usually unstated criteria. Applicants will be rejected if "they; won't fit in." The best evidence of a club's selectivity is its past record of rejections and acceptances. if it has rejected more than a token number of; applicants with a background similar to those of existing members,it is"ass, med that selection has been carried out on a critical basis. 2. Use of Club by Nonmembers A'genuine private club limits the use of club facilities or services to members and bona fide guests. The club should have policies-litniting_the. ' number' ofguests and the privileges. 3. Control of the Organization by Members' ' If the policy decisions are made by a manager,. owner, or'nucleue of members; there is reason to suspect it is not a private club: Members should have voting_ rights,.a voice in hiring and setting salaries for staff, -and in approving expenditures. Member control over admissions is a significant indication of whether a club is_ -genuinely selective. if the membership has no voice in=the selection of new, members, it is unlikely that the admission policy of`the organization' reflects "the nesociational preferences of the, members. - C size of Membership The private character of an establishment is inversely related to the size Of membership,- Large 'size is an indication of public accommodation status because of its connection with the degree of control by individual r..erabers, the associational interest of the members, and t`.•z qualifications for admission. -:5. Advertising _.._ ... .._ A club may be viewed as holding itself out to the general'public f -.it solicits patronage orif _creates an expectation of admission; directly'or,.it dctly; through the use of the advertising media. Public c::cposure, such';"*' -sponsoring a if tournament, is not viewed as advertising.' IOWA CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF 4:00 P.M.

Building chairman Kirkman reported on the material about seeking foundation funding and recommended the purchase of three books from Gifts & Bequest funds as a first step towards seeking addi- tional means of funding for a new facility. Recommendation approved. Kirkman/Richerson. The following addition to the Library Rules Policy was unanimously adopted following a recommendation from the Director. Bezanson/ Newsome. Isiq DIRECTOR'S REPORT AUGUST 26, 1976 Financial Several of the items approved for purchase from Gifts and.Bequest Funds at the July board meeting have been ordered. We are still looking at microfiche readers and typewriters. A comparison of Iowa City's annual expenditures and circulation to those in the National Index of Circulation $ Expenditures of Public Libraries serving population of 25,000 or more reveals that since 1970, the base year, both Iowa City circulation and expenditures have increased at a faster rate than the national; average. The percentage of children's circulation was higher, than the national average and the percentage of:operating-budget spent for salaries was lower but moving up rapidly. Building F, Equipment The need for repairs to the building has already been unusually heavy in FY 1977. The boiler leak has been repaired and the heating system is ready for the fall heating season. The intercom system is becoming increasingly unreliable. A decision on the telephone system will have to be made soon or we will be forced to install a new independent intercom. A shield has been placed over the conduit that brings telephone lines into the building to protect it from cars driving up to the Book -Return in the alley south of the building. Services Circulation and use of library services were heavy during July. The library checked out an average of 143 items per hour open. This rate was exceeded during the past twelve months only in June when the average rate per hour reached 156. Nearly 500 people attended the feature film series in July. Over 3000 child- ren attended the 58 children's films and story hours. Use of information services dropped a little over a year ago in July. Collections The staff withdrew 1500 adult books in June and July. This in- tense re-evaluation of the collection to remove unused, out -dated and worn materials will continue through out the year as a part of our F1' 1977 goal to keep adult collection net growth to 2000 volumes. The Kent Slides of old Iowa City scenes have been shown by several staff members to a variety of community groups. This collection has been extremely well-received by the community. 3 p n v D m n O cc0 Zo D G' m z IOWA CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 1976 4:00 P.M.

IOWA CITY RECREATION CENTER MEETING ROOM A MEMBERS PRESENT: Hauer, Amidon, Bolnick, Bonney, Bridgeman, Dennis, Hibbs, Janiuk, Stockman MEMBERS ABSENT: Askerooth, Hall, Hintze, Kinnamon, Nielson CITY STAFF PRESENT: Vann, Wilkinson, Showalter, Plastino GUESTS PRESENT: Ben Barnett and Ed Brinton of Powers -Willis Summary of Discussion and Formal Action Taken: 1. The meeting was called to order by Co -Chairperson Hauer. 2. Dennis Showalter, Director of Parks and Recreation, was present to discuss the Park Improvements and Additions Project status. (Summary of presentation attached). 3. Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works, and Ben Barnett and Ed Brinton of Powers -Willis were present to discuss the Ralston Creek Flood Control Project. (Summary of Presentation attached). 4. It was moved by Hibbs and seconded by Stockman to approve the minutes of August 4, 1976. Motion carried. S. It was noted by Julie Vann that no committee member should take Bob Conley's resignation personally. With his other commitments, he found that he was too busy to devote himself to the committee's work. 6. Subcommittee Reports: a. The Human Needs subcommittee has not met formally as a committee but Stockman, Hauer and Vann did attend the Comprehensive Plan Coordinating Committee meeting on Thursday, August 26. Iowa State University desires to poll junior high and high school students in Iowa City to determine the relation- ship between adolescent needs and provided services and resources. The study group was hoping to find a local use for the research data they were compiling. Stockman reported that the comp. plan committee had given the survey instrument to a subcommittee for review. She urged CCN to support the research also. There was a consensus of support. b. The Communications Subcommittee reported that plans for a CDBG activities bulletin were continuing. To date, all material has been gathered and a title, "It's Your Town," has been selected. In addition, press releases will be sent to the media once a week. Vann asked that articles be reviewed by staff before published, but the subcommittee insisted that editorial powers will remain with them. In response to the question of determining • 0 Committee on Community Needs September 1, 1976 Page 2 c whether to continue sending the bulletin to those on the initial mailing list, it was stated that a coupon would be included in the bulletin for this purpose. The Comprehensive Plan subcommittee reported on the presentation made by Lawrence Halprin and Associates to the Comprehensive Planning Committee meeting. It was moved by Hibbs and seconded by Bolnick that CCN go on record as endorsing and supporting the comprehensive plan's citizen participation program. The vote was unanimous in favor. d. The Coordination groups with which subcommittee reported that it is developing a list of the coordination subcommittee will be concerned. e. The Housing Rehabilitation subcommittee reported that a Housing Advisory Board is just beginning. Its first meeting was on August 17 and its second is September 2. The rehab program is progressing rapidly with the consultant developing it step by step. Property rehabilitation standards and financing plan Options have been discussed. The program procedure manual is being compiled. The first presentation of the program to Council is tentatively set for Monday, September 27. f. Hauer reported for the Monitoring subcommittee stating that it was very important the committee know exactly how funds are spent. Bolnick pointed out that it might be advantageous for committee members to seek out more of this information on their own by talking to the people involved with each project. 7• The floor was opened for nominations for chairperson. After Hauer and Dennis were nominated, it was moved by Janiuk and seconded by Bolnick that nominations be closed. Motion carried. Hauer was elected to serve as chairperson. B.

Committee on Community Needs September 1, 1976 Page 3 10. It was moved by Bolnick and seconded by Bonney that the meeting be adjourned. Motion carried. Park Improvements and Additions Project Summary of Dennis Showalter's Presentation September 1, 1976 Mr. Showalter distributed copies of two memos updating the status of the City Park projects and the neighborhood park projects. Ile summarized the activities to accentuate the progress in the program. Environmental reviews are in progress for the improvements. Playground equipment is being installed at North Market Square Park and efforts were being made to make our city parks accessible for the handicapped. A question and answer period revealed the following information: 1. What amount of funds would you like to see allocated for parks? Showalter: There is a need for more tennis courts. Apparently, there has been a feeling that expenditures of IICDA money for tennis courts wasn't proper. Bismarck, North Dakota, population 38,000, received $700,000 of FY 76 HCDA money for a wave action swimming pool. Fargo, North Dakota, population 56,000, received $485,000 of FY 76 HCDA money for an indoor ice rink. These projects have been approved by the Federal officials. If these projects are eligible, surely tennis courts are eligible. Tennis is no longer a sport of the middle and upper classes. Everyone seems to be playing tennis, now. Park and Recreation Departments in other cities are receiving a large share of HCDA funds. Fargo, North Dakota, Parks and Recreation really felt left out in FY 76 when they were only allocated $485,000. I hope that over the five year period, Iowa City Parks and Recreation will receive 20-25% of the HCDA funds. 2. What about tennis courts? Showalter: We would need 50 tennis courts to meet Iowa City's needs based on nationally set standards. Four courts at Willow Creek Park would cost $S0,000. These would be asphalt surfaced and not lighted. 3. What about a recreation program for Mark IV and Hawkeye Apartments? Showalter: It is not appropriate for the City to put equipment on private property, but we are reinstating the After School Recreation Program (ASRP) at Mark IV this fall and we are going to try a Saturday morning outdoor program at llawkeye Apartments. 0 • Ralston Creek Flood Control Program Summary of Dick Plastino's Presentation September 1, 1976 Mr. Plastino summarized the work currently being performed by Powers -Willis and Associates, the engineering consultant firm under contract. The total research study will take eighteen months to complete. The final report should be ready in June, 1977. The firm has identified eight interim projects which will be completed before the final study report is released. These projects consist of: I. Three stormwater storage areas to be developed. These will be located at the Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric site, happy Hollow Park site, and north of Highway 1 in the area of Howard Johnson's. All three areas are low lying and their uses will be relatively unaffected by short term water storage after a heavy storm. 2. Five other projects including three channel improvements and removal of two elevated sanitary sewers. The channel improvements include removal of the disintegrated concrete retaining wall which has fallen into the creek at Johnson Street, and two dredging projects at the Rock Island Railroad bridge and Center Avenue. The elevated sanitary sewers under the Benton Street bridge and at the intersection of Court and Van Buren Streets will be relocated. Other projects being carried out have included the preparation of a Stormwater Management Ordinance which regulates new development's watershed planning. This ordinance was presented to the City Council and has been adopted. A school is being planned to brief developers and engineers on satisfactory methods of watershed management using detention water storage areas. A booklet of techniques will be prepared by October 3. Powers -Willis and Associates are currently working on environmental reviews of the proposed interim improvements. Construction will take this place this spring and summer. 76-319 RESOLUTION NO.

The' amendment would require applicants, both new and renewal, for Class A Private Club Licenses to submit information regarding' their private club status which would enable the 'City ;Council to determine if a Class A License should be granted. =-- - The question of what constitutes a private club was raised in November of 1975. The Council requested that the City Attorney and the Human Relations Commission look into the operations of - a newly opened private club called Grace and Rubies. At the November 17,-1975 Commission -meeting, the staff was directed to begin research on private clubs and what authority the'Human Relations ordinance has over these clubs. Section 10.2.10(B): of the ordinance states that 'a'bona fide private club is exempt from the -non-discrimination clause ofthePublic Accommodations section. A memo, dated Feb. 9; 1976, prepared by Angela Ryan, then a legal clerk,recommended-that the Human Relations Commission look further into the, operations of Grace and Rubies This memo contain ed'a review of the pertinent case law to ascertain criteria for deter- mining private club status. The by-lawslof Grace and Rubies were compared with this information. This memo and 'a later one which expands on the review of the case `law 'are _-available -upon your _ request.- A motion to defer discussion of -Grace and Rubies until _general criteria for determining private club status was established.was , made at the March 22, 1976 Commission meeting. The preparation of developing guidelines on what constitutes a:private clubi began. At the May, 1976 Commissiori meeting, the first set ofguidelines was brought to.the'Commission for approval. `These:'guidelines,were drawn primarily from thereviewof the case law done by Angela Ryan. ' Representatives from Grace and,, Rubies; came to,this.meeting'to discuss,> with Commissioners the concern that selective enforceme'nt.against Grace and 'Rubies was happening and that the -research"of.the case law maybe biased because it was done with Grace and rRubies as the `.specific case at hand.

Application submitted by Heritage Systems to rezone a tract of land south of BentonStreet 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 .shah submit port concerning to the City a xe(1) the economic feasibility of.a. planned commercial district at the location of their tract, (2) the effect of such `on the surrounding property, and (3) the impact a planned commercial district 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 ic of a neighborhood, convenience center. ,The necessary elements characterist. Towncrest centers, the Court Street and ScottBoulevardareas 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 P robably 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' Melroson the north, Riverside Drive on the east,`Highway;;1 on the. south ae Avenue nd Sunset Street on.the west.The economic analysis and feasibility, `application'illustrates a trade area encompassing study presented with the all'of the' neighborhood and westerly beyond Mormon ;Trek Boulevard; Because the'lack'of competition in -West Iowa, City, -with the exception of.the' Wardway Plaza and the business development in Coralville and along. , Riverside Drive, the neighborhood convenience center would_be,expected to, flourish. Support from this trade area will diminish, however, to the 4 -2 approximate area of the neighborhood itself if.and when a shopping center is developed at Mormon Trek Boulevard:and -Benton Street. The obvious concern to the developer and equally so of the City is whether there ultimately;will.be enough support from within the neighborhood to sustain the neighborhood convenience center: According to an unpublished study by the staff, the estimated holding capacity or population at saturation within: the neighborhood will be approximately 6,000 people. According to design ',criteria, a shopping center of the magnitude proposed should be supported by a-population:of from 1,000 to 2,000 persons. Thus, it would seem, there will bemore than adequate support augmented by the high density of residential development within the immediate vicinity. Locatedadjacent to the tract-are-apartment complexes-to the west, across the street to the north, and combined with offices to the east 'and undeveloped land to the south'.- It would be difficult to find a better locationfora shopping facility which would-supply_;the essential day-to- day items required by the residents in the immediate area. As a-convenience to the' residents,_the neighborhood convenience center would>provide'an amenity acceptable to apartment living. And contingent upon;the dev.elop- ment of the neighborhood convenience center and the construction or installation of appropriate materials to buffer the adverse effects upon adjacent residential uses, there would appear to be no deleterious effect upon adjoining property; The staff would agree with the 'marketing consultant's comments relative to the traffic;volume_on Benton Street (see page seven of the market study) Theoretically, if the neighborhood convenience center consists of stores: which cater only to the neighborhood, then it canbe assumed that residents.,' - will not be travelling via Benton Street to-destinations beyond. the-neigh- borhood-for essential heneigh- borhood-for-essential items, and many will find it more convenient to walk to the center. - Basic to this assumption, in part.',is-the development of the shopping center at Benton; Street and Mormon Trek.Boulevard. Otherwise residents beyond the neighborhood to the west who frequent the businesses in Coralville, might find it more convenient to shop at the'proposedlcon- venience center. Nevertheless, it does not appear that the traffic volume would increase appreciably. While the tract would appear to be a most desirable location': for a neigh- boihood convenience center, there is one major constraint.' "Best locations ` will normally be found on major streets and preferably at or near the intersection of main or secondary thoroughfares" -- so it says in the attached literature on the design criteria for neighborhood"convenience centers.- That's arguable considering the hazards of traffic-movements near.a major intersection and the exposure of a shopping center to.possible - residential development-at the other three corners of the intersection. But, there is one advantage.-- pedestrians 'en route-to the center can safely _cross a_street at the intersection. _3_ - Here, it seems, is again the old nemesis of a heavily traveled street which bisects the neighborhood making it difficult -t the neio traverse from one,part'of ghborhood to the other. For this reason, the staff would propose as a policy that every attempt be made:to deemphasiie'Benton Street as a major arterial street'. This can be accomplished by- several .methods: 1. By ,encouraging the use of other east -west thoroughfares such as Highway I and Melrose Avenue:, This would entail the extention of Sunset. Street southward to Highway 1, the construction of an east - west collector street from Mormon Trek Boulevard to Sunset Street north of the City's South corporate line,-the_widening of Melrose Avenue to accommodate four -full lanes of traffic, signalization' to facilitate better access onto and movement along Melrose Avenue and Highway 1, and by the avoidance of direct travel patterns to Benton Street in future developments. 2. By terminating Benton Street at Mormon Trek Boulevard and establishing Rohret Road as a major arterial street. 3. By impeding the flow oftraffic on Benton Street to make it less convenient for cross-town travel. 4• By prohibiting any further high density residential development along Benton Street. A reduction in the volume of traffic on Benton Street would certainly not eliminate the constraint above indicated but it might, at least, be ameliorated to a tolerablelevel. Regardless, the City, must weigh the,; acceptability -of -.the proposed, neighborhood' convenience center in view of this constraint:- If found acceptable, a solution might be the installation of a pedestrian cross fight at a location -to facilitate crossing Benton Street to the neighborhood convenience center and also to Roosevelt School. STAFF According to Section 8.10:17.16 of the RECOMMENDATION: According Code, "land zoned Planned,Commercial Zone shall be laid out and developed as "a - unit according to';a plan conforming to requirements of the Large Scale Non -Residential Development Ordinance'!., While the rezoning of a tract to a PC Zone is not predicated upon the approval of an LSNRD plan, it is the staffs recommendation that the subject application be approved simultaneously with the approval of the preliminary LSNRD plan submitted -(see 5-7622). $ 6? `� Q NEIGHBORHOOD'_ t YJi li SHOPPING CENTER u LOCATION AND SIZE Tributary Area. The small neighborhoodtype of shopping center should be considered as a local convenience and service facility which must depend largely for its success on supplying the everyday, needs of a limited residential population within a relatively small surrounding tributary trading area. It is only rarely that the 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 B-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 families 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 o 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/z to 1 mile, depending upon the type of develop- ment in terms of families per acre orsquare mile and the range of income groups to ' be served. It 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 streetsystem 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 i Y4 percent are ideal In that they provide' adequate drainage and; permit store fbors to slope breaks at frequent intervals. A sloping site may be adapted by u construction in the building:_ Many authorities advocate that a smallcenter. be located on the side of the street. This will usually depend on the type, and size of, a shopping habits, relation to the expected tributary area served, and. of adequate site area Utilities. Availability of utilities at or close to thesite _is a positive f improvements:' Long runs to reach available utility connections sho On-site improvements are items installed at the_develop6eexpens overall building construction costs. Besides the Utilities these indude for interior circulation on the property; pa scaping. rking areas; outside tight PLANNING THE SITE Store Types. The initial site for a small center should generally.n than four to five acres. Site depths of -400 feet are desirable in order 1 off-street parking and stole service; This depth is, of course, not atw where sites are in areas afreadysubdivided. The developer shouli the possibility of expanding his center at some future -time, and should reserve additional land for this purpose which can be put to ary commercial use in the interim period. Initial construction migh 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 tai 4. Beauty Parlor.- -5. arlor.-5 Filling Station, 6 Bakery (this might depend on provision by grocery). 7i Shoe Repair. 8. Laundry Agency (possibly in rear of another store). 9. Variety Shop. 10i' Barber Shop. Variations from this basic, fist, of course, will occur, depending i vidual case. For instance,'in an area of small apartments, a restau desirable among the first ten tenants. The drugtore and supermz basis•for any center, however, and no center can be considered con them. Store Grouping, The grouping of stores in a small center does nc Importance which is involved in the larger center:' However, the locati store and supermarket will tend to anchor the group. The drug store have the prime location, preferabfy.the, corner store; if tlie`developr intersection of two streets. The other end of the group shoul&normall, by the' supermarket. The smaller shops located between have the ' pedestrian traffic generated, between the two. If. the center grows the one or more tenants will probably become desirable - -i SOURCE Home ewlden Minn] for Land DeleMpmem 2nd £dulun Nmli nut Ar+w+ann ofNane 8.

STAFF The subject property consists of. ANALYSIS: about 9.6 'acres of vacant :land. As mentioned previously in,`Staff. Report 5-7621 (dated -August 2, 1976) the request area is located in the South Ralston Creek watershed. New development in this area will have little impact upon the water xim- off problems. New single family developments'zoned RIB are found to`ithe north' and,south.of the request ;area. An arterial street, Scott Boulevard, abuts the property to the east. The present zoning scheme of the subject property is not conducive to desirable land use patterns as high density R3A zoned land abuts low density areas zoned " RlA. The proposed zoning would do little to improve; the present zoning scheme, and may create a more undesirable zoning pattern for the followingreasons:-' (1) the rezoning request -would increase the area of the R3A Zone by. more than one acre, (2) allow for the lineal development of an extensive area of high^ ' density residential uses along an arterial_ street, and (3) the request would= permit low density single family areas to front upon'a high density multi -family development. In addition to the above, the staff reiterates its opinion stated previously in Staff Report Z-7608, dated July 1, 1976, (application submitted by Court-, Crest, Inc.) that future proposals for R3A zoning should be delayed until such time as the forthcoming Comprehensive Plan or new and revised zoning regulations for the City are completed. STAFF Based upon the foregoing analysis, RECOMMENDATION:_ the staff recommends that the area requested to be'rezoned from RlA to R3A be denied. The staff would,i have no objection to rezoning the areas requested to be rezoned from'R1A to RIB and from R3A to RIB. STAFF The Staff recommends the use of COMMENT: the Planned Area Development concept for the development of the subject';. property. As mentioned in the analysis above, the present zoning.scheme:of the area is undesirable. An area 'develop- ment plan for the subject property would help providefora more.desirable zoning and development_ pattern.. 153.4 - - .._.,.._......

This Iowa City. According -to Section 409.19 of the Iowa Code, City approval is required -for within two miles of the City limits. a subdivision The subject plat is submitted in two parts - as an auditor's plat and as a subdivision.- While an auditor's plat is a subdivision oflots; ;land into tracts or parcels, it is required by the County Auditor only for recordation Purposes when such lots cannot be described: exceptby metes:and.bounds. description. ,The front five lots included in auditor's plat No 29, as' illustrated on the subdivision plat, were previously `sold by metes and bounds description. It is'the County Attorney's opinion,,therefore, that an auditor's plat should be _submitted for approval by the,County and also by -the City. In this case it would be most regulations upon difficult to enforce -the City's subdivision an already platted area since ownershiplines have -been established and the subdivider obviously does not have title to the lots in question. Through negotiation with thelotowners; however, the;.subdivider has acquired rights to the private street within the auIditorls plat,subd dedication to the City, upon annexation by the City for public access to the lower six lots of Woodland; Hills subdivision.` The subdivider has submitted' an assessment waiver for -reconstruction -of the street"`within-WoodlandHills' Addition to comply with the City's specifications upon annexationby,the City. An assessment waiver has not,;however, ;been submitted: for that portion of the street within the auditor's plat since they donot 'have itle"to the adjoisupportning lots. It would appear, however, that the value -of these lots mens procedur reconstruction of that; portion of the street by special assess -i ment procedures. The Planning and Engineering Divisions have reviewed the subject plat and found it to be in general compliance with the revised preliminary plat submitted - for approval with the final plat. Discrepancies with Chapter, 9.50; Municipal Code were noted and the following chof the anges should be made: 1. The lot markers should be 24" in length. - 2.

TREE REGULATIONS The tree regulations have -been changed to reflect some of the. principal concern of many home builders in Iowa City. The changes in the ordinance pertain to application of the standards rather than a change in original standards. Major changes include: 8.10.40.11.B Lots containing residential structures with less than two _ hundred (200) square meters (2;152 square feet) of surface coverage have been exempted from the required street tree plantings based on lot frontage. This change reflects the concern that the private homeowner should be given maximum latitude in the choice of species and location of "trees within the property. - 8.10.40.12.A The first two hundred (200) square meters (2,152 square feet) of, surface coverage by residential structures were exempted from the provision that trees be planted in a ratio;, to building coverage. Again this.change reflects the concern that the private homeowner be given maximum choice. 8.10.40.12.8 6 & 7 Subsections 6 and 7 were added to allow for meeting the requirements of this section with redevelopment and new development. Subsection 6 allows redevelopment an optional method of meeting the requirements, if total redesign of the site is not desirable. Subsection 7 establishes criteria for the Planning and.Zoning Commission to accept innovative design in lieu of strict compliance with the provisions of - parking lot design. ADDITIONAL POWERS FOR THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT This ordinanceestablishes new powers for the Zoning Board of Adjustment so that they may hear appeals of the Tree Regulations.

It should be,noted that :University Heights is an`in epen ent municipality -and, although _surrounded by the City_ -of Iowa'.City, is not a part of Iowa City. Under this contract, University = Heights will be purchasing selected -services from Iowa City and:will be ------ responsible for only its fair share of the cost `of`those `services:' Services and facilities not included in.the contract will be made'` available to 'residents of University Heights on the same basis.as`for residents of, other areas and communities.

Further, details.regarding future contracts between University Heights and Iowa City can be considered once the major concepts are agreed upon. �incerely your, Thomas R. (Breese Councilman, hts r;' `w%of-University'Heig;;,_t • Enclosure 2 ' STAFF ANALYsis The City of University Heights, in the counter-proposol of May 27, 1976, indicates a willingness to purchase only selected services; i.e., police, fire, transit, refuse, water, and sewer. Secondly, the proposal suggests;a calcula- tion based on a variable calculation method relating to: 1) population, 2) assessed value, and/or 3) specific user counts. Finally, the proposal indicates that the pro rata calculations should be applied against only_the property taxreceipts used to support the services provided by Iowa City to University Heights. The Iowa City proposed contract, which was submitted to University Heights both for discussion purposes and to serve as,a basis of further negotiations, is predicated on the following concepts: 1) All services of the City off -Iowa City are available to the citizens of University Heights and therefore should be reasonably -reimbursed, with the exception of specific road usetax fiords. 2) The basis of the University Heights' reimbursement to Iowa City for services should -be'.` based on a cost of service, less any fees and charges which are paid ,equally- by the citizens of both 'communities. The utilization of property tax alone is inappropriate because Iowa City's services are supported significantly and increasingly by funds other than property tax. The University Heights proposal is incompatible with our philosophy of providing the community with necessary services on a reasonable charge basis and, in addition, the University Heights proposal selects services which are essential to the health and well-being of its citizens and precludes services which cannot be discontinued by the City to the University Heights citizens. As an example, it -is extremely difficult for Iowa City to exclude University , Heights citizens from the utilization of its recreation facilities and"parks. Selected services are obviously to the advantage of University Heights. s �'s s At its current assessed valuation, University Heights is able to generate $15S,907 in property to within its general -fund based on $8.10/$1000 assessed valuation. This amount could be allocated for the University Heights contract. In addition, funds needed to reimburse the City for its Trust and Agency Fund, i.e., police and fire pensions and social security, could be raised outside of the $8.10 limitation. It does not appear that University Heights could levy- to pay for any debt service for current outstanding general obligation bonds' of Iowa City, even though the bonds are for facilities which are utilized and provided for in the University Heights contract. The two current outstanding bond issues are the 1962 public library and the 1971 park bond issues. Other revenue sources also are available to University Heights. User fees in a number of areas could be used to offset and supplement 'the use of property tax or other revenues, such as the General Revenue Sharing,, liquor profits,, and municipal assistance. As an example, the University HeightsCouncil, if it'< wished :to support Iowa City's proposal, could assess.the tax limitation available to them in the general fund and provide the additional funds; needed of $38,223 through user fees or other revenues. It is estimated the use of liquor profits, $5,314, and municipal assistance funds, $6,731, could provide 'an additional $12,046 to offset the contract in addition to general revenue' sharing of approxi- mately.'$5,000. A user fee, such as a surcharge of $3 to $5 per month on the 336 refuse collection points, as an example,'could provide additional funding of between $12,096 and $20,160. As discussed above, University Heights does`` have other available revenue sources to consider. • Sclosure 3 Proposed letter to University Heights residents:', The City of Iowa City has been providing municipal services to the City of University Heights since 1954. At that time University Heights was to pay Iowa City a proportionate share of the property tax 'needed to support the services. based on the comparison of Iowa City's assessed value to UniversityHeights. It was resolved that a policy of this nature was fair and equitableforboth municipalities. Since 1974, Iowa City has been attempting to renegotiate the University Heights service agreement because it has become increasingly inquitable and unfair to Iowa City citizens. The decrease of property; tax support of services and its " replacement by other monies creates an ever-increasing burden on_the.Iowa City citizens to provide service to University Heights. In addition, the 1966 contract made no provisions for the expenditures>of Iowa City on administration or on debt service costs, i.e., the Library, Recreation and Park -bond -issues, eventhoughthey are directly related to the provision of contract services. In discussions with the University Heights Council in March 1975, it was estimated that the cost of providing services to 'University Heights by Iowa City, was $167,064; however, the current contract payments by University Heights amo�lmt. to $104,764 annually. It is this inequitable situation that Iowa Cityis attempting to correct in its negotiations with your Council. Iowa City has provided University Heights with;a proposal which proposes an adoption of the new State -mandated program format, a change in the calculation of the University Heights contract to a basis of cost of services rather than a' -` payment based strictly on property tax, and the expansion of contract services to include all of those city services provided by Iowa City to University Heights residents: After two years of negotiations and discussion, ,anequitable agreement has not been reached and therefore it has been necessaryfor _Iowa City toexercise its, right to cancel the current agreement effective in December 1977, h • Enclosure4 UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS PROPOSAL EVALUATION, FACTS AND ASSUMPTIONS ` Comparative Ratio Total Method ' - % 1.

Local Government Financing Task Force The Iowa Chapter of the American Society; for Public Administration has formed a number of task forces on such subjects as :collective bargaining „ management techniques, and local government financing. The Manager has: been asked-to-serve on a task forceonlocal government financing. other. members will include Iowa League of Municipalities representatives,finance directors, city managers, University personnel and taxpayer association': personnel, all of whom have a, personal or, professional interest in local '- government-finance. The work probably will include the preparation of'- Position papers-for the Legislature. This task .force provides us an opportunity to lay some foundation for work at the State level and at the same time additional contacts throughout the State.in this very important area. 3. Maher Property Several months.ago the owner of the Maher property, located at-the inter- section of Burlington and Gilbert Street, indicated that the property was for sale. The City Council discussed the matter at that time and-it was, determined that after a decision was made by the electorate concerning, the proposed joint law enforcement center, the Maher property would again be- considered so that a definite answer could be given -to'the owner. The City Manager has been contacted by the: owner of the Maher property who indicates that she is considering a proposal forthesale of the property. I indicated that I would convey this message to you with`the.hope that I 1-1 would be able to give her an answer within the next-two weeks as to`whether the City Council had any serious interest in the property. SSy *City of Iowa Cit MEMORANDUM DATE: September 2, 1976 TO: City Council FROM: City Managero RE: Welton-Beckett Contract Enclosed is a letter to Welton-Beckett $ Associates concerning resolution of the contract obligations and final payment as 'deemed appropriate by the City. Welton-Beckett-&,_Associates requested a final payment of approximately $25,000. The final payment rendered by the City is,$5,942.95. _In accounts 1012, 1018, 1019 and 1020, payment; for the work rendered seem perfectly appropriate based on the provisions of the contract. In addition, Welton-Beckett was requested to perform work outside the scope of the contract. For example, the area between, Linn and Van Buren on Washington Street was not included in the original" contract. Payment in .the amount of $3,425.47 for these services the staff also deems appropriate. However, there were other items that Welton-Beckett felt deserved-additional compensation. Some work was undertaken out of sequence. Also,.there were, time delays and decisions that work should be redrafted. The staff-does'-not believe that compensation for such services is appropriate`;in that, any-archi- tectural-or engineering firm would encounter such problems in theftypical project. The contract between the City and Welton-Beckett also provided for additional work in Blocks 83 and 84. This has been a serious problem for the-City for some time, As indicated, in our opinion, the Court relieved both.the City and Welton-Beckett of any obligations relating to Blocks 83 and'84, 1,5.5 City of Iowa : Cit, MEMORANDUM O�MCE Or CITY ASSESSOR VICTOR J. 9ELGER IOWA CITY, IOWA - December h, 1975 Dear Conference Board Member: Enclosed you will find a coal. of my 1976-77 proposed budget for the Iowa City Assessor's Office. I am doing this so that when you come"to -the meeting for the proposed budget hearing ,on ldednesday, December 10, 1975, at 4:00 IN at. the Iowa City Civic Center, you will have had•time to study the budget. I have, as always, tried to be very conservative in my askings. According to the law, which limits my spending on the City Assessment Expense Fund to 27¢ per 51000 valuation, I could ask for $116,500. 1a asking for only 3102,830 to be levied. In other words, my budget is about 127;under the It-nit allowed.` I have had the same number. of people_working £or me now, that I had when.I took office in .1952. I doubt that you willfindthis true in any other office. Most of.them have doubled their :force since 1952. I believe that in this type of office, experience:is very valuable. In my office I have 92 years Of experience. I believe in quality not; quantity, and.I believe the way tokeepexperienced help is to pay a` living wage. I am asking for a Joe raise in salaries. In 1973, we received a 5.57 increase for a year-and a half, ;last-year_I got an 87 increase.' We are just catching:up to the :cost 'of living for the last three years.. I believe•experience:and hard work should be rewarded. MY Office"opens at_7:00_AM and closes at 4:00 PM. -,This gives the public nine hours of service.` The three taxing bodies of Iowa City have always been 'fair to me and my employees and -I appreciate it-very much. In return, we have always worked to keep the office 'up,to a high standard. The City Assessor's Office is a'very important cog in the local taxation system. When you consider:the, fact. that we determine.the amount of taxes each individual and. business enterprise pays in taxes, you can see the responsibility we have. -Fair and equitable treatment for all taxpayers is.'a mist. I am looking forward to seeing you next Wednesday at our scheduled hearing. Sic_ er lylaoiuger�'I�L r,' Victor J. . City Assessor of. Iowa City - -.

BOARD PARTICIPANTS PRESENT: Dave Hintze, Elmer Sievers, Andrea Hauer, Bob Conley COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT: Mary Neuhauser, David Ferret CITY STAFF PRESENT: Julie Vann, Angie Ryan, Debbie Rauh CONSULTANT PRESENT: Mike Kucharzak OTHERS PRESENT: Andrew McIver PURPOSE OF MEETING: To discuss aspects of the developing housing rehabilitation program grant financing packages.- = SUMMARY OF ISSUES.DISCUSSED: 1.` Nike Kuchariak opened the meeting with a brief summary of financing packages used in previous federally funded rehabilitation programs. a. The 11312" program provided loans at 3% interest rate for -a 20.year term. The money _came from the HUD office where applications were.approved,'based on the applicant's ability to repay the loan as well as their need for financial assistance. b. The' "115" program was provided grants for home repairs. The grants were up to $3,500 for a owner-occupied residential structure of less than five -units. Applicants had to meet strict income guidelines. The rehabilitation program currently being developed through the Block Grant funds will be designed at the local level rather than-prescribedby,HUD;-;but we" can learn from the experience of the previous federal programs that; Block Grant rehabilitation replaces. 2. _Portions of the developing "Rehabilitation Financing Handbook" were. distributed. The following, comments were made: " Chapter-l: General - This chapter of information and definition of terms seemed self explanatory. Specific definitions of liquid assets and equity assets will be added based on the group's discussion. Chapter 5: Costs Includable in Rehabilitation Grant.- It was emphasized that as a rehabilitation grant is expended, the first repairs will be.active Minimum Housing Code violations; and then if the $5,000 limit has not been.exceeded, energy conservation improvements, fire prevention improvements, and finally incipient code violations will be eligible as grant funded improvements. Chapter`6: Rehabilitation Grant - This chapter presents applicant eligibility standards. They have been established at levels quitesimilar"to Iowa: City ',s HUD funded Section 8,rent assistance program for consistency. To be 'eligible an applicant's adjusted,-gross-income must be less than 80% of-the Iowa City- median income for that family size. Rehabilitation Advisory Board September 2, 1976 Page 2 - Cha ter 7: Section 1: For ivable Loan - To avoid windfall profits, grants: will not exceed 5,000. If ad rtional:improvements.are.needed to meet established. property rehabilitation -standards,, -then a "forgivable loan" (a piggyback.program) could be used. This would provide up to an additional $5,000 (beyond the initial $5,000 grant) for home repairs, but this grant would become a lien'. against_ the property. If the property were to change title within four years, then a portion of the "forgivable loan" would be returned to the Block Grant program. The first grant described in Chapter 6 will not be liened against the property based on the following factors: (1) these maintenance repairs. :rarely add more than 50$ of their cost to the structure's value, (2),the clientele the program serves typically would do without most repairs in order to avoid a lien,(3) when liens are made, the administrative workload increases, and as the feasibilitof liens was addressed, it was decided for simplicity to allow $5;000.grants, fyree and clear, based on participants' needs. Chapter 9: Processing and Submissions for Grants - This chapter defines the sta f procedures when processing a grant request. Chapter 22 App - This chapter defines the basis for establishing an applicant'licant'sIncome s income for purposes of this program. 3. Land contract home, purchasers will be eligible for a grant only twelve months or more after the contract was signed. The financing packages available to them.' will be defined later. At this meeting grants and loans were considered:but not forgivable loans.- ' 4. There was some concern over the improvements' effect on the homeowner's property taxes. For major repairs, the taxes may_increase. 5. Each structure will be eligible for only one grant during the program's lifetime. Forthisreason, all necessary improvements will be made, to bring the structure up to Minimum Housing Code standards. THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE HELD TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1976, AT 4:00`P.M. IN THE CITY, MANAGER'S CONFERENCE ROOM. Loan packages are the:,tentative topic of discussions i. City of Iowa Cit# MEMORANDUM NOON KIWANIS Tuesday, August 31 I wish to discuss urban renewal, the financial foundation of the City, and service performance, all of which I hope will lead to questions.. Urban renewal has been a festering sore for Iowa City for more than ten years. It affects both elected officials and citizens adversely. The responsibilinyyea the Manager here is to move of the City Council to timely.decisions which in the opinion of the staff represent good chances for success. Generally, the.word the staff hears in the community is that citizens want the Council to make the necessary decisions now and they really don't care what the decision is make long necessary' redevelop- ment is undertaken expeditiously. Early in June the staff provided several papers to the City Council dealing with the issue of urban renewal One of the major issues to be resolved by :,the City Council was the Urban Renewal Plan itself. Our premise was that after eight or ten years of development with significant citizen, consultant, Council and'siaff input, the Plan generally represents the needs of the Community and.that while there may be minor changes in the Plan the Council should resolve those issues as quickly a.s possible. For the most part, these issues have been:resolved-and insomeaieas'the,Plan has been strengthened. The Council has indicated an increased commitment to,pedes- trial orientation in the central business district, an emphasis upon housing in at least two areas south of Burlington Street, and perhaps. the potential for future integration of University and retail uses,:particularly.in:Blocks 83 .'and 84:.. The lack of negative citizen ;input to the amendments and the; Plan, certainly seems;to', indicate that finally there is a consensus in.the community on the Plan. The`touncil will have the public hearing on the revised Plan on September 21. The second basic issue with which the Council is grappling is.the,method of land disposition, single or multiple developer or somewhere in .between., Our memo- randum to the Council indicated that if for political or:.any other reasons a_single developer concept is not viable, then certainly the,Council should consider a'grouping concept or a minimum number of parcels being bid by an individual developer.' And that any appreciable movement from the single developer concept will require the City to expend increased amounts of money for staffing and other- .administrative costs, and too that time delay will become a more significant consideration., And, of course, as the number of proposals for the redevelo�nnethe urban: nt of land in renewal area project increasesthere will be a tendency to versubstantially increase the potential for political conflict. y Currently the City Council is moving toward a decision on parcelization. Unless the Council receives contrary advice in the weeks immediately ah6ad, it appears that the land south of Burlington Street will be marketed independently, the master block 83 and 84 and block 64 will be marketed to a single developer, and the remaining parcels will be grouped in some manner. 156' You have a very important function to perform in the months ahead. The Council, and not just those Councilmembers that agree with you, but all Council members must continue to receive input from the, public that timely and viable decisions which will carry urban renewal forward expeditiously and responsibly must continue to come from the City Council and the staff. Another major responsibility of the Manager .is to insure the continuance of a strong financial foundation. Iowa City has been, and is, in a very enviable posi- tion financially. In years past, the Council has undertaken actions such as: the adoption of a"fiscal policy which is more restrictive financially than that authorized by'State law. This has resulted in the City having a AAA bondrating which ,each .year saves the taxpayer in the City money on the outstanding bond issues. Our goal is to maintain that favorable financial position in all budgetaryand other financial decisions. In recent months a program has been developed to assess the fiscal strain of American cities. This program evaluates 29 fiscal strain indicators. For the first time there is a comprehensive method for comparing the fiscal performance of American cities. While most of the indicators relate to such matters as short and long-term debt, overall expenditures, welfare payments, expenditures: -for education, City, contributions to retirement systems, and such similar items, there are a; mrmber:of of other characteristics called leadership and decision-making patterns which are of interest. The initial study assessed the fiscal strain characteristics of 51 American cities, such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Memphis, Tampa; and Schenectady.;;. The results demonstrate that those cities -which suffer the greatest fiscal strain are those non -council manager cities with strong mayors, comnunities:_with a.weak business community from the standpoint of active participation in localrgovernment, have union contracts for municipal employees, overstaffing:of low rates of tax collection. municipal employees, and In our 'form of government here in Iowa City, the Council is the decision-making body and provides the overall direction- not a powerful mayor. Perhaps a strong mayor is a negative factor financially because as decisions become .more political there is a greater tendency to use dollars to create votes. The second'factor is a weak business community. It is important for the; Iowa City business community to assess its role in local government..: How many businessmen are active in the boards and commissions of the city government. 'How frequently,do You talk.with Council persons, including those that do not necessarily agreewith your views. The third negative factor is union contracts for municipal employees. The City recently entered into this arena and, indeed, such contracts will become more significant in the years immediately ahead. This past year major changes have been made in the way in which the City negotiates labor contracts. The Director of HLmnan Relations, whoEis also an attorney, has been designated as the chief negotiator. The City Manager works with the chief negotiator and the negotiating team throughout negotiations. The negotiating team membership varies, depending upon the union with which we are negotiating. Various training programs and resources have been provided to the persons involved in the negotiating effort. 2 0 • Before the negotiating process begins, the team meets andplans This strategy is discussed and approved by the City.

How do we gauge performance of City employees. Performance cannot be measured in a single manner and therefore we are a the issue of performance and staffing from several directions. ogees. approaching For example, no vacant position is filled in the City without an assessment of that position by the responsible department head, Of cothe Director of Human dations and sign -off by the City Mana$eT.

Bechtoldt 1152 E. Court Iowa City, Towa 52240 Dear Plr. Bechtoldt: Some of the concerns that you have raised in your letter to the City Council have been answered as of this time. Also, I will not attempt to respond to stories in the news media which tend to be inaccurate, but rather I will limit my responses to actions which either have been taken or arc contemplated to be taken by the City Council and City Staff. T will also not provide either editorial comment nor my personal opinions on damage to the urban renewal process either prior to May 4th of this year or actions which occurred after the issuance of the opinion by .Judge Carter. I believe the important issue at this time is one of a decision which was made by the City Council to hire the firm of Zuchelli, hunter and Associates for the purpose of assisting the City in both marketability studies and in the area of packaging land for subsequent sale to potential redevelopers.redevelopers. Ilio process which is set out in the contract between the City and Zuchelli and Associates clearly indicates what is to be done. 111tis information is available not only to City Council, but is also -- available to all residents of Iowa City. ']lie process established by this contract should provide the City Council with sufficient information to evaluate .111 proposals received, and it should also enable the Council to select those developments which will be in the best long-term interest of the entire Iowa City community. As you are perhaps aware, the City Council has recently made a tentative decision to dispose of urban renewal land in clusters or in groups of parcels. Since the Council has not made a final decision in this area and since this is one of the items to be addressed by the Zuchelli study, T, of course, cannot give you any assurance at this time that this will 115'(06 • Mr. Harold P.

In response to your comments about transportation routes and facilities, a neva public library, subsidized housing in the downtown area, and the allocation of City land for small City parks, 1 can only say at this time that all of these areas will be taken into consideration by the City Council in the very near future.

IOWA CITY POLTCE DEPARTMENT Monthly Report: August, 1976 General A modest decrease in cii_izen generated requests for Police ser- vice was noted in August. However, the decrease was not significant and can probably be attributed to the ending of the summer session at the University. Of greater importance is the fact that larcenies decreased substantially as compared to the two previous months. Apparently, assigning Detect=ives to the late night shift pays some dividends. A total of forty-four new cases were assigned to the Detective Division for follow-up investigations. Animal Shelter activities ran slightly higher than the preceeding month but total. yearly activities to date continued somewhat lower than those of the prior year. Statistical summaries are attached. Personnel Changes Kay ldalenta transferred from the Department of Human Relations to the Police Department in mid-August. Mr. Paul Galbreath was hired as a Clerk/Typist trainee under a C.E.T.A. program. Joel Myers was hired as a full-time radio dispatcher. Goal AccomDlishment The contract for design drawings for the locker room facilities for women officers was awarded to a local architectural firm. 1 569 • Homicide - _ :_ Case'„Opened 10 -.years ago, new. :-- information -obtained --.investigation resuming -Assault with deadly weapon 1 Closed _ 1 Theft of Money from Savings Account 1 Suspicious; Vehicle 1 Closed 1 Forgery 1 Civil Problem 1 Closed 1 Assault 1 - Intelligence Information 6 -reports typed MONTHLY REPORT ; FIRE DEPARTMENT Month of AUGUST 1976.

Mr. Donnelly indicated it was his understanding that the staff of the Iowa DOT was preparing recommendations for review and action by the Iowa DOT regarding the project at its meetin 1976. In the discussion wh' h g on September 7, concern expressed b is followed this report, there was considerable process beingy members of the Commission regarding the review its Coordinationwithlocale Iowa Department of Transportation and ington Counties. The Commission moved agencies in Johnson and Wash - to request that any staff recommendations or informational materials prepared by staff for the Iowa DOT Commission meeting on September 7th, be made available to the Johnson County Regi Comm to determine if onal Planning Commiss'ion'. In further action, the ission requested its Executive Board it would be desirable to have representative(s) of the local area present at the Iowa DOT Commissi in order to participate in the discussion and review. The on meeting Executive Board of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission will next meet on Wednesday, September 1, 1976. I will inform' You of the action of the Executive Board, should it request that a local representative (s) attend the September 7, 1976 Iowa DOT Commission meeting. It is my feeling that there is a growing sense of local concern to resolve the Freeway 518 controversy in a cooperative manner among local and state agencies. I anticipate that our local:"> meetings in September may make substantialprogress toward this ` end. I feel that any decision by the Iowa DOT at this time'.;.; regarding Freeway 518 without the benefit of such local input would be unwarranted and counter-productive. However I continue to be optimistic that we can cooperatively develop needed plans and programs for our area. Sin, e y, Ea Brandt Executive Director cc: H.E.

By Katherine Janka Associate, NTDS Everybody seems to bejumping on the bandwagon of the human effectiveness motrmeM, but nobody seems to know what to do Once they're aboard. What started in private industry with a few scattered research studies about job en. richment and work redesignhas now invaded the public sector with full blown experiments in new benefit packages, independent work teams, flexible work hours and myriad Other schemes for improving both employee productivity and satisfaction. Nevertheless, what we know for certain about the workability Of such progmnts—the bottom line concern- ing their contribution to increasing human effectiveness in organizations -is precious little. For example, cuhploycc participation in decision making and planning is a concept receiving extensive attention. A Scottsdale. AriZQoa program to increase participation of parks maintenance per. sonnel in the various aspects of their work resulted in effective suggestions for nese park planning and design. But an experiment in participation in the Ohio Department of IligBways resulted in poor performance among those crews given responsibility for their wOk scheduling. What is being suught is a key to increasing both job satisfaction and productivity— the quality of working life as well as the quality of work. As soon as we think we'se found an answer, we discover it won't work everywhere. Each worker has an individual set of needs and work circumstances, and what will motivate one to be more effective on the job might limit fine effectiveness of the next. These very real frustrations concerning luny ur stimulate employee effectiveness have been the suhjcct of a year-long Project by NTDS to examine current research findines in local government manpower utilization and develop methods by which the findings can be put into practice. Funded by the National.. a Science Foundation, the project has t included the cstablislunent of an advisors committee Of acadenhic researchers and local govermncnt practitioners active in the area of incrcasing worker cffectivc. ness' Thesc individuals reviewed research sunuunrics and assisted NTDS in: I) determining tine applicability of the re- search to local govcnnncots and 2) dc. signing a manual to guide government officials in implcnlcnting their own pro. grams to increase employee cl'fec- tivencss--both productivity and satisfac- tion. The results of this effort included in the manual to be published this fall, arc . described in brief in the following para. graphs. CLUES FROM THE RESEARCH Research findings on what motivates employees to work more productivcly and effectively may provide guides for the activities of various organizations. Among the most recent research into the area of linking job safisfaction with productive performance is a 1975 studs by Raymond A. Katzell and Daniel Yankelovich. funded by NSF. They con. eluded that deep and far reaching organi. zatiunal changes arc required io reach a Sritical mass' that will improve hath productivity and job satisfaction. Motiva- tlon is a key factor in making both these improvements. According to KatzcII and Yankelovich, the primary factor in achieving high satisfaction and motivation is recognition . and reward (financial or psychological) for effective performance. Critical in. gredicnts of organizations that achieve high productivity'and satisfaction ere: (1) Pay linked to performance and.produc- tivity; (2) workers and work matched to enable workers.to mcet.their needs and expectations for successful work; (3) op- larzrtunities for workers to use their bilitics fully, make meaningful contribu- ions and have. Challenging and Idivcrsiried duties; (4) Op portuidties Tor workers at all; levels to; have input. to decisions that affect. their.working Bvas; (5) provision or appropriate', resources ,to'facilitatc per- formance; and (6)' adequate "hygiene" factors, such as.pay, benefits; working .conditions, job security and competent supcnision.._ - - These find; mgs tend to agree with those of J.R. Hackman and E.E. Lawler (1971) who found that employees expe- riencc satisfaction and perform well when jobs are Iligh jn'fcur'"core dimensions" - —1) autonomy or self direction. 2) diver- sity or variety, 3) task identity or whole. ness and 4) feedback about results. APPLICATIONS IN REAL SETTINGS Nevertheless, different factors'moti- vate people• in different circumstances. The lk between satisfact inion and produc- tivity is particolarly fragflc:ind'iirategics for improving either, tor' both`rn. be custom tailored to cach'orga'ni,zation. For example, routine tasks may not lend themselves ' to worker `autonomy as readily as conceptual ;work; and some people may prefer to get one job done well, rather than seek "meaningfulness" through tackling a vanety of,tasks: Because Orthenediffcrcnces, and be- cause l ocal governments arc subject to a wide variety of in and cittemal constraints on their attempts to imple- mcnt change, the adivsory committee to the ,NTDS project suggested that public administrators., emphasise the process - rather than ptpdoct of employee effec- tiveness programs.

UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS SERVICE CONTRACT City Manager Neal Berlin explained previous Council actions and proposals from Unvesjty�Ieichs Council, as outlined in his Sept, 9th memo. He advised that there should be an official response to the May proposal from University Heights, and dis- cussed the content of the letter proposed to go to the resi- dents of University Heights. Decisions for Council included answering the questions, (1) is the City prepared to provide only limited services, and (2) what criteria should be used to determine the fair distribu- tion of costs. The City,s position to date has been that there cannot be a fair contract with only limited service, and that the only equitable way of determining costs is utilizing a ratio related to assessed value, The Mayor commented that this Shelcalledreating attentionetolthehe same realisticyas uayscoflfinancingosu City,, guested in the memo, so Iowa City is not forcing them to �3- Councilman Perrot suggestedannex. with members of University that Iowa City Councilmembers meet with members be the issues.
