q RE: Freeway,518/Johnson County, Iowa
I - '-
Dear Sir or Madam:
In the past several years, the Iowa Department of Transportation has been
planning and designing, Freeway 518. This project connects with Interstate
80 west of Iowa City an& generally follows a southerly course that offers an
alternate to Highway 218 south of Iowa City.
Iowa City has devoted a great deal of time and money in the development of a
Comprehensive plan for growth in our community. Quite logically, Freeway 518 I
will have a significant impact in our planning process as well as on the
a community in general. Due to the significance of the project, our community
would very mutrilling beneficiary of the positive impacts of
ch like to be a
the project rather than a frustrated recipient of several negative aspects.
1 Iowa City has informed the Iowa Department of Transportation of our concerns
related to the1
, 518 project.. However, we do not believe that a proper amount
i
of effort has been given to fact gathering and subsequent decisions related

' to our concerns. As g 91
i project, we are now soliciting your advice on how to deal'Fiith this matter.
Of primary concern is the fact that the 518 project will, bisect a portion of,
awatershed currently within the corporate limits of Iowa City. Our compre-
hensive plan indicates that this particular watershed has a, potential for
Our proposed sanitary sewer facilities.
being seryed by our p Pro request that
the Iowa Department of Transportation consider a relocation of a; segment of .
the project by approximately 2,000 feet to avoid this conflict does not
appear to be unreasonable. The State's response, which contained very little
information other than that they had reviewed the request and have rejected
ns that have
been expressed d to P
it, is less than; satisfactory. Other concerns
' the State have included our questioning of the need for an interchange at
Melrose Avenue a5 well as the actual need for a four -lane facility.'

RE:Longevity Pay for Administrative and Supervisory Employees
Longevity pay is included in the Fire and AFSCME collective bargaining
I
agreements. The question has arisen 'as,to whether or not longevity pay
should be paid to`administrative 'and supervisory employees. - It would be,
inequitableP
to provide longevity pay to collective bargaining agreement;
employees and not to others. The total amount of longevity pay that
,
would be paid December 1,1978; to all employees outside of the bargaining
unit will be $9,450, including the Police Department command staff. As
the money is available in the budget, I have authorized the Finance
Department and the Human Relations Department to make the appropriate
changes.

TO: Police Chief, .1Fire Chief., Joint Police/Fire. Pension Board
,
FROM: City Mannger;l M V
RE: Health Maintennnce Program
Sometime ago the joint Police/Fire Pension Board passed the following
.motion:.
"The Joint Police and Fire Pension and Retirement Systems Board
goes on record favoring health maintenance .physical. examinations
' M
for all officers :of lthe Police and Fire Departments according to
1
the following schedule, or more often if health needs of the af-
fected officers dictate:
1. Annual physical examinations for all officers 35 years old or
b v
a o e. Said physical examination will include e the medical
standards set for entry into either of the 'respective de-
partments and will include cardio -vascular examinations.
r
2. Biennial physical, examinatinns will be given to all officers
up to the age of. 3.5 years. Said physical examinations will
include the medical standards set for entry into either of the
respective departments."
E
While health maintenance physical examinations certainly are desirable,`,
I believe that the examinations'represent'lonly one small part of what
should he a health maintenance program inithe Police and Fire 'Depart-
ments. Without such a program, it is difficult to justify City ex-
N-
penditures from the trust and agency fundlfor such physicals.
Under State law, lung and heart conditions are presumed, to be job re -
°t`
lated for police and firemen. Increasingly there is more medical
evidence that smoking, lack of physical activity ,and overweight may he
more directly related to lung and heart conditions than any City job
requirements.. Therefore, I would strongly encourage that the Police
Chief, Fire Chief, the respective members of the departments, unions,
"
and the ,joint hoards develop an ongoing health maintenance program and
any other actions'' necessary to ensure that the physical condition of our
- police and fire personnel is maintained''land'improved. With such a
program I,would wholeheartedly endorse resolution of the Police and
r.
,the
,Fire Pension Board.'
The Behavioral Research Division of the International Associations of
Chiefs of. Police has developed a physical fitness program for police.

for physical disability, with tax .freepension'of more
u
than $11,000 a year. -
At a time when New York ie' extremely sensitive to
the high cost of fire pensions,. Mr. Mulireke's feat caused
I
immediate outrage. But Itturns out that his heart, lungs
j.
and legs were not the reason for his pension.He -has a

RE: Dean Jones application for James R. Vand rah, P.E.S.
realignment of 'Ralston Creek Steven J. Vanderan, P.
Nest of Meadow Street in Iowa City
Dear Mr. Watson:
I am writing to you as the consultant to Iowa City for the
�• preparation of. the Ralston Creek Watershed Management Plan.
These comments are my opinion with regard to the proposed,
creek realignment.
i
I believe the community of Iowa City, the citizens of Iowa,'
and the Nation have 'a vested interest in the preservation of
s we have a need for the Ralston t
' flood lain' The reason I Ii
. the f plain.;
sk Watershed Manag
Creek ement Plan are:
a. it rains.
b.People build homes and businesses in the flood
plains.
(
C. Other, people modify the flood plain.
The result is flooding damage which has resulted', in thousands j
of dollars damage to personal property for several hundred'
residents on Ralston Creek alone. There are approximately
130 'structures affected'by the theoretical 10 -year flood and 1
4# 370 structures s, and 1,000 properties affected by the 100 -year
flood by our estimates.
I believe the, City intends to spend approximately $2 million
of Federal money over the next 5 years to construct 3 large
S, earth dams and several minor projects to minimize the flood'
( damage along Ralston Creek.
Private land' development,' new housing and commercial property
construction will involvelan additional unknown (but probably
high) expense to set aside land and construct facilities to
store and manage excess storm water resulting from urbaniza-
f. tion in the Ralston Creek Watershed,

RE: Quits; Resignations, etc. in the Police Department
For some'months...and if you have, actually kept abreast
of what is going on for some years, the rate of personnel
turnover in the Iowa City Police, Department has been a
matter of some concern. Indeed, thelrate of turnover and
the reasons for that turnover lend themselves to some sim-

my desire to retain qualified and trained personnel, I do
not and will not attempt to discourage those employees who
can improve their personal or family welfare, occupational
or professional advancement, or ,the satisfaction of their
personal desires from seeking employment elsewhere.
The history of employment of personnel by the Iowa City
Police Department is interestingand bears recounting here.'
While I have no factual records of employment except those
developed in recent 'past years, I do have some observa-
tions regarding employment of police personnel.that may be
relevant, to this discussion.
In 1959-60 when I was recruited to the Iowa City Police
Department, I joined a complement of twenty-three people
including the Chief and about the same numberof command
officers that we presently have in the Department. 'Upon
returning to Iowa City as Police Chief in 1975, only three
men who were officers when I was originally recruited were
still 'with 'the Department. Only six; of the original twenty-
three had retired, while the other fourteen officers had
left the Department by resignation or dismissal. In addit-
ion, the interim between the original resignations and/or
dismissals had seen literally dozens 'of'new hires come and
leave for one reason or another.`
On Friday, July 28, 1978, a'clerk-typist and I went through

that period of time left, their employment with the Iowa City
Police in the five year period subsequent to their hire.

The average rate of turnover is estimated at 16-18%. Iowa
City has experienced an annual turnover rate of 12%. ,The
mate this year is 12.6%, probably somewhat less than the
annual turnover rate in local industry.or mercantile.,
The issue is often raised that a community can ill -afford
to lose experienced officers'. Obviously, his is true --- up
i
to :a certain point. Experienced officers represent a size-
able outlay of ,public funds for training,equipment, salar-
ies and capital costs. Even more at least according to
conventional wisdom in regard to police - the experienced
officer is',better able to make sound judgements relating to
duty. Interestingly, no firm basis exists for the above
!I
assumptions. Resourceoutlay is not a critical factor in
police:or other public employee'turnover rates. As a, matter
of fact a', resource advantage often accrues in personnel turn-
over. '',Fora,example, it costs Iowa City taxpayers approximately
the ,
$24,000 annually to maintain an officer who has reached ,
top of''tha pay scale. A new start costs,with training, approx- i
imately $16,000.'
t
i
In addition, while productivity of an officer increases
mploy-
slowly but steadily during the first, five years of employ-
;
indicate
ment „ as'a rule, there is no, evidence to indicate,productiv-
L
ity or the quality of judgements made by a n officer 'incre ases
substantially. after five years in service. In fact, the
opposite seems true; so-called experienced officers become
systems -wise" and after five years in service often become
more interested in condemning or co-opting the system than
in producing a product or making quality judgements.
Other factors influencing term of service in police employment
n
is the nature of the recruit applicant: For example:
#;
a. The reality of police work in a small community
'
such as Iowa' City, seldom measures up to the recruits
expectations. Police work is essentially a boring,
5
non -challenging job without a, great deal of personal
or intellectual challenge --- with monotony only
1
occasionally relieved by "important" calls or re-
quests. The work just does not match the television
or 'movie portrayed.
i
b. The work is not 8 to'6 in nature. When looking
for a job an applicant will say that working late
nights and weekends is no imposition at all. How-
ever, after a few years of seldom seeing the sun-
shine, alternative employment becomes quite attractive.

COUNCIL SHEDS MORE LIGHT ON KITCHENS
Sections 1305 & 1405 of the 1976 Uniform Building Code state; "All guest
rooms, dormitories, and HABITABLE ROOMS within a dwelling unit SHALL be
provided with natural light by means of EXTERIOR GLAZED OPENINGS with an
area,of not less than one-tenth of thefloorarea of such rooms with a;
MINIMUM OF 10 SQUARE FEET." Kitchens are defined in, the U.B.C.° as being
a habitable room. This requires that all kitchens need 108 window area.
The City staff PROPOSED an amendment to sections 1305 & 1405 allowing the
108 requirement to be reduced to 38 in kitchens. On July 25, 1978this.
proposed amendment was: considered at the City', Council meeting and the
amendment` was defeated by a 6-0 vote. There was one council member absent.
All habitable rooms including kitchens in new dwelling construction will

Relocation of Traffic Engineering 25,000

Funding over several years is not particularly desirable but the, alternatives
are:
1) Fund the entire facility 'at once'- This option has been discarded
i
as unrealistic since the only source of funds appears to be a
general obligation bond.
2) Abandon the project - This does not solve the problem of overcrowding,
inefficiency, antiquated facilities and deteriorated structures.
Preparation of a new cost estimate revealed that it would be cheaper to put up
'
a new metal building rather than try to rehabilitate the existing metal structure
i
that now, exits at the east end of the service building. This'is fortuitous news
since the old structure can; be disassembled and then reassembled to provide an,
equipment storage building at -a later.date. This will fit in well with the master! -
plan for the service building complex.
Public (Yorks will continue ahead with plan preparation and bidding wiless' directed
otherwise by Council. A resolution approving the plans will be on'the Council
agenda in the next three to four weeks.,

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 17, 1978
TO: Neal Berlin and City Council
FROM: Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works
i
RE: Restrooms in the Parking Garage on ,Blocks 83-8d
'
r
I
I
,
The City Council had previously asked that the City staff and Carl
Walker and Associates strongly consider the feasibility of public
restrooms in the parking.garage on Blocks 83-84.`
A number of factors lead to the conclusion that public restrooms
.
should not be installed in the parking garage. The factors are:
I
1) ',Under the building code, a parking garage grade level
tier may' contain an office, waiting and ,toilet rooms„.
:having a total area of not, more than 1,000 square feet.
A small cashier'soffice and storage room will leave
only a very small space for restrooms.
f
2) Our consultant advises us that public restrooms in a
parking garage are very'prone to vandalism. In addition,
the restrooms would be located at the far southwest
t
corner of the entire central business, district and only
!,
a very few persons would be in 'the vicinity of thew
restrooms since they would be at the corner of Capitol
and Burlington.
3) There will be public restrooms is the mall. These will
be available from at least 10 a.m. until closing time
j
at night.
Public Works has directed the consultant not to consider further
'
installation of public restrooms in the garage. If Council desires
I ',
otherwise, please' give us .the word immediately. The consultant is
I
now on a day to day, crash' program of design to meet the building
�
schedule.

The commission,has all of the powers granted to cities,
counties and townships under this chapter, except powers
to sell the airport. The commission shall, annually,
certify',the amount of tax within the limitations ofl
this chapter to be levied for airport purposes, and upon
such certification the governing body may include all or
a portion of said amount in its budget.
All funds derived from taxation or otherwise for airport
purposes oses shall be under the full and absolute control

of"the -commission ,for the, purposes prescribed b law,

have this power under 330'12; so a municipalairport commission

My answer to your question is that the Iowa Cit) .airport
Commission would have the authority to lease the parcels mon-
tioned in your letter if:
1) the parcels are under the control of the commission, and
2) the commission determines that the) are no longer
•
needed for any airport purpose'.
I have done some looking in the City records, but have
I
been unable to determine if these parcels are under the control
of the commission. E.K. Jones believes that they are, although
f
I note that for the parcel east of highway 218 there is a sign
!
indicating the area is a city park. Probably, the best indicator
of whether the parcels are under the control of the commission
would be the conveying documents themselves, and any, city
records concerning the acquisition of these parcels. lbbie
Stolfus indicates there are some old abstracts in storage and I
will attempt to see if these cover anN airport property.
Francoise Stauber has done some research on the Sturgis Ferry
area, but the deed thatmaycover that area present some descrip-
tive difficulties that will have to be investigated.
It is difficult for me to'advise -you as to appropriate
f
lease terms. My advice would be to hire one or more, competent
real estate appraisers that can give you their thoughts on fair
rentals, inflation guard clauses, and lease length. As to infla-
tion guard clauses, based on my limited experience with urban
renewal, I think adjustments for inflation, given the present
market should bemade more oftenn than every five years; other-
i
wise the rentals lag too far behind the actual value of the
f11
property.
I
Specifically, I see no legal problems with 50 year leases
44
if the property is not needed for airport purposes. In such
cases',I think it cannot be said that such leases amount to a
sale of the airport, (the only power denied to a,commission in
330.21), as the commission would have already determined the
property was not needed for airport purposes.The prohibition
against selling the airport would appear to apply only to such
sales or leases as would substantially impair the use of the
property for airport purposes.
As for lease procedure, the requirements of 361.7, 1977
Code of Iowa, must be followed for any, lease of greater than
three years duration. The property, should be leased for not
less than a reasonable market value. See Grittony.' City of
Des Moines, 73'N.B•. 2d 813 (Iowa, 1955). The advice 01' a
competent appraiser will be of benefit; here, and will help.pro-
tect the,3nterests of the public.

We have briefly discussed on the phone the nccnssit}' for:
