both Councilmembers to go. There were no objections.
2. The Community Forum meeting on Thursday at the Library was also
announced, and Councilmembers invited to attend.
3. City Manager Berlin called attention to revised waste -water treat-
ment legislation. Those cities in a segmented project and at Step
Three of the grant will still be eligible for 75% federal funding.
.The City is at Step 3 for the River Corridor project.
Councilman Erdahl arrived, 4:45 P.M.
Neuhauser stated that as Cooper Evans was not aware of the sewer
grant problems, Councilman Balmer had talked with him.
BUDGET OVERVIEW
Bridge Repair -Camp Cardinal. City Mgr. Berlin updated information on
s a e funding for bridge repair. They will now participate with 80%
of the construction costs, and Iowa City's Camp Cardinal Bridge has the
highest priority. This would be approximately $50,000 for Iowa City's
share of the project. Previous discussion of alternative from FW518
was noted, and Schmadeke will clarify this alternative. The Mayor
requested a map showing the houses, bridge, 518, and a timetable for
the project.
Revenue Before starting discussion on the revenues, Berlin pointed out
an article which stated that the Mayor of San Francisco was just instituting
use of goals and objectives for some of the divisions. The projections
for revenue for FY83 are conservative. He stated that Section 5 funding
for transit will probably not be less that it is for this year, and
Lundell will be investigating possibilities. He also announced that there
will not be a 12% reduction in Revenue Sharing this year. He did not see
any reductions of staff or programs for FY83. There will be approximately
$70,000 additional revenue in revenue sharing. Balmer called attention
to the millions of dollars in revenue that the State of Iowa will lose
this year, and this will have to be taken into consideration.
Alternative Sources of Revenue Increased Refuse Collection Fee -Some
Councilmembers favored a gradual increase in the fee. Increased Transit
Fare -Proposal to use formula as proposed by McDonald noted. Possibilities
for Local Option Tax were discussed. State consideration of addition of
sales tax noted. The State also will consider the present use of available

revenue sources such as hotel/motel tax. Local Option tax probably depends
on action by the Governor. Councilmembers favor exploring this option.
Transit Tax Levy was not recommended by the Staff as Sec. 5 operating assist-
ance will still be received this year, and an opportunity for using the levy
could be to help fund a new transit garage. No one favored a tax levy this
year. Emergency Fund Tax Levy -There was a consensus that no emergency fund
tax be levied. Transit Fare Increase -Staff had also recommended no increase
this year. Council decided to look at the individual budgets before con-
sidering additional alternative sources of revenue.
POLICE Council discussed the request for additional personnel, five officers
for use in the downtown area (walking patrol) and one officer for investiga-
tion division (the lowest priority). Miller explained how a Civilian Corp
or a Cadet Corp would work. Councilmembers were interested and Miller will
prepare a more detailed report. Crossing Guards- Berlin called attention to
this budget. Council had no questions. Animal Control- Horton explained
how the new licensing procedure was progressing, and the need for temporary
employee to assist in getting information on the computer.
TRANSIT Berlin advised that the Asst. Transit Manager had resigned and plans
to replace with A.M and P.M. supervisors were suggested. Mose told of efforts
to obtain small buses. A special UMTA program will be investigated. Life
expectancy for buses ranges from twelve to fifteen years. Iowa City buses
are now 10 years old.
CITY COUNCIL Erdahl suggested raising Councilmembers salaries, as it will be
eight years since the previous raise by the time a new one could be in effect,
and gave several reasons for justification for a raise. Balmer thought that
all the time spent could not be compensated for, but the Mayor's salary should
be raised because of the tremendous amount of time spent in being Mayor. This
issue can be discussed later. Boards and Commissions Their expenses are
included in the liason department's operating bu get. Mayor Neuhauser thought
Council should find some way to honor the people who serve on the approximately
30 boards and commissions. McDonald related his concerns regarding feedback
to Commissioners of Council's disposition of the Board or Commission's recom-
mendations. Berlin noted that all Chairpersons of Boards or Commissions are
provided with minutes of Council meetings. Other alternatives will be sought
on these issues.
CITY CLERK The statistics for '81 will be furnished later as Council is on a
calendar year basis. The Clerk and staff were commended on their work.
CITY ATTORNEY Jansen pointed out a correction to Page 10, Objective N4,
noting it should be 'tort' liability. Where the different salaries were Side 2
budgeted was explained. A later review of progress re litigation and hours 1-30
spent by the Attorney was requested.
EXECUTIVE SESSION Moved by Perret, seconded by Balmer to adjourn to executive
session under Section 20, to discuss as a public employer, strategy regarding
collective bargaining with City employee organizations; as such discussion is
exempted from the provisions of Chapter 28A according to Chapter 20.17(3),
6:40 P.M. The Mayor declared the motion carried unanimously with roll call
vote of 7/0, all Councilmembers present. Staffinembers present: Berlin,
Stolfus, Helling. Tape-recorded on Reel N25, Side 1, 391-545. Moved by
Balmer, seconded by Perret to adjourn, 6:55 P.M. The Mayor declared the
motion carried unanimously, 7/0.

horticulturist will take over supervision in this area. Actually more work-
ers are needed instead of supervisors. A citizen sponsoring plan or some
incentive for tree -planting and care was discussed. Perret called attention
to the letter and article from Leon Lyvers. Berlin advised that the City
is again applying for the 'Tree City' designation we won last year. He
pointed out that Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric Co. spends approximately
$320,000 on tree maintenance also. CBD MAINTENANCE The survey showed
that downtown businesses think the City is doing a good job. Use of concrete
trash containers was explained. Fourteen will be ordered at $290 each.
Neuhauser requested replacement of barrels in Blackhawk Minipark. Showalter
will be coming back to Council with a proposal for this park. Balmer
stated that if hotel/motel tax is put on the ballot, he would like to suggest
that revenue be used for CBD maintenance and policing. The Mayor will contact
the Coralville Council regarding the election. GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS In
this budget, the assumption was made that the offices in the Davis Building

by Dec. 1983. Berlin discussed a proposal for maintenance including energy
conservation, mechanical equipment maintenance, preparation of a maintenance
manual and training of a person in each building, the City has many new
buildings on line, but contracting a maintenance firm to do major mainten-
ance. As a half-time person would not be available for the Resources

paragraph, which she did. These included adjustments regarding mistake in
Trust & Agency, with corrected page 148; correction to Budget - In -Brief, pages
i and ii, as higher final assessed valuations received from Johnson County
(five million). This additional increase, $42,177, will be used to pay the
social security costs. The City tax levy will be reduced from 6% to 4.8%.
The State increase of 6.1% in levy is due to the increase in assessed valu-
ation. Every two years property is reassessed by the State. A chart with
figures for property tax on the average residential property and the average
commercial property was explained. Council will discuss tax levy again at
the end of the budget process.
Housing Inspection Services -Administration Kucharzak explained the reorgan-
ization; instruction of firefighters for housing inspection; number of
personnel in each department to be used for inspection, two from the General
fund, two from the Fire Dept. plus the Supervisor, and 1/2 from Block Grant
funding; areas and frequency of inspections. Neuhauser asked about in- Tape 82-3
spection of mobile homes, Keating replied. Firefighters on inspection will 1-727
have portable radios or take a truck out so they can respond to a fire call.
The State has mandated inspection of all rental property, which increases
City expenditures. After the new program has been in operation, Council will
evaluate it. Building Inspection Berlin stated that Kinney's supervision
will be beneficial to the department and to the public. Assisted Housing
Seydel explained the division of his personnel between the various programs.
Bond reserves are not shown in the budget, Mayor Neuhauser explained to the
new Councilmembers that the Council acts as the Housing Authority.

services for the general public. Objective N7, protective clothing require-
ments were explained by Keating. Lynch called attention to increase in the
budget by the City Manager of $125,000 for a new pumper. Perret suggested
use of CATV to demonstrate CPR training. Training procedures for firefighters
and effect of the cut of one employee were discussed. Calculation of the
University's fire contract ($366,680) was explained by Vitosh. It is based
on the square footage of all University properties plus a pro -rata share of
all the fire department costs.
Human Relations Dept. Increase in Personal Services was explained. Increase
in Services & Charges for '82 included payment for the survey and services
of Steve Rynecki, union negotiator. For FY'83 his salary will be included
in the City Manager's budget. Civil Rights Council referred to an organiza-
tional chart showing the Civil Rights Specialist reporting to the Assistant
City Manager. This issue will be pursued later and each Department will
report on their respective roles. Berlin noted that the focus for Civil
Rights is for the community whereas the Human Relations focus is internal,
and the arrangement is working well.
City Manager The two year agreement with Rynecki expires 8/82 and will have to
be discussed. Berlin called attention to the increased level of responsibility
assumed by Asst. City Mgr. Helling and the good job he is doing. Councilmembers
agreed. Salaries will be discussed later. Perret requested figures regarding
reduction in travel budgets for each department as they were discussed.
