Re: Affirmative Action Goals - First and Second Quarters FY82
As is required by the City Affirmative Action Policy, attached please find
the Affirmative Action goals established by all City Departments for FY82
and the record of progress towards goal accomplishment during the first
and second quarters. Unfortunately, development of our data collection
procedures, all of which are performed manually, did not permit timely
collection and publication of first quarter information. Henceforth,
information concerning attainment of Affirmative Action goals will be
published quarterly.
Overall measures of the City of Iowa City's progress include the
following:
FY81 1st Quarter FY82 2nd Quarter FY82
Applicant Pool
Minority
Representation 8.6% 8.4% 11.5%
Workforce 3.6% Permanent 3.5%
Minority 4.0% Temporary 7.0%
Representation 3.0%* 3.9% Combined 4.5%
Johnson County
(SMSA) Labor
Force Minority
Representation** 2.0% minority representation
*Includes only full-time employees - temporary employee information
not available.
**Source: •Johnson County - Employment Status by Sex and Minority
Status for 1980 - taken from Labor Market Information for Affirmative
Action Programs 1981.
A number of specific measures of individual departments' progress towards
achievement of Affirmative Action goals follow.
As can be seen by the above statistics, significant progress has been made
in increasing the representation of minority group members in the
applicant pool for City positions and in the City work, force (more
specific information concerning goals for female and handicapped
representation is attached).

This progress has been made despite very low turnover within the workforce
and a drop especially in positions we can advertise to the public,
decreasing the opportunities to employ new minority group members. During
the first and second quarters only sixteen vacancies were filled
externally, compared to 85 for all of FY81, with 23 vacancies filled
internally, compared to 49 in FY81.
Continuation of the individual efforts of City employees, with the
assistance of the Human Relations Department, is and will be the corner-
stone of our Affirmative Action progress.

Re: Referral - JCCOG Participation In ECICOG
In response to your questions regarding the necessity of JCCOG's associa-
tion with the East Central Iowa Council of Governments (ECICOG), I have
researched the following information. This information is only in regard
to transportation matters and other obligations, political or otherwise,
may exist that I am not aware of.
At the last JCCOG Board of Directors meeting held on December 9, 1981,
considerable discussion took place regarding JCCOG's association with the
East Central Iowa Council of Governments (ECICOG). The major reason given
for JCCOG participating in ECICOG was because of state and federal transit
funds provided to Johnson County SEATS. It was stated that the Code of
Iowa (Chapter 601-J) requires that SEATS be a part of a multi -county
regional transit system (ECICOG) in order to receive State Transit
Assistance and Federal Section 18 funds.
After investigating this matter further, including discussions with Iowa
DOT representatives, I feel association with ECICOG is not the only
arrangement which would enable SEATS to continue receiving transit funds.
Chapter 601-J states that "any organization receiving government aid
(except schools) must be in compliance with the State Transit Plan."
According to the 1981 Iowa Transit Plan developed by the Iowa Department
of Transportation, in order for a transit operation to be in compliance,
one of three criteria must be met:
I. The operation is one of the 33 recognized public transit systems.*
2. The operation has contracted with one of the 33 recognized public
transit systems to provide additional services.
3. The operation is not receiving any federal, state, or local funds.
*In this area, the 3 recognized public transit systems are Iowa City
Transit, Coralville Transit, and ECICOG's regional transit system.
CAMBUS is not recognized by the State as a public transit system.
Therefore, Johnson County SEATS could continue to receive transit
assistance if it were operated by Iowa City or Coralville Transit while
still serving the entire county. The Johnson County Board of Supervisors
could then contract with Iowa City or Coralville for county -wide service.
This would be the reverse of the current arrangement where the Cities
contract with the County. The vehicle titles are currently in ECICOG's
name but could be transferred to another agency.

Re: City/County Fringe Committee
Please be advised that the planning staff. met with Bob Jansen and Pat
White, the Assistant County Attorney, on February 5 to discuss what
legally could be done to implement a joint effort by the City and County
to control the City's environs to the benefit of both agencies. In
general it was resolved that the City and County could enter into a 28E
agreement (an agreement established under the procedures of Chapter 28E of
the Code of Iowa) to do basically what each has the right to do on its own.
It is now necessary for the City/County Fringe Committee to reconvene to
meet with the legal staffs of the City and County. In order to do so, it
is necessary for the Council to appoint a member to the Committee to
replace Glenn Roberts. Councilman Clemens Erdahl is the other member to
the Committee. It is, therefore, requested that you appoint a member to
the Committee at your informal meeting of February 15.

Dear Mr. Berlin,
Thank you for your letter of December 21, 1981, which addressed several
issues relative to ATC's system in Iowa City.
In response to your concerns, I will first address the extension policy
problem. I have been briefed on the status of this issue and understand
that it has been referred to our respective legal representatives for
resolution. However, there was apparently a misunderstanding as to who
would initiate contact on this matter. This communications problem has
now been cleared and by the time you receive this letter, Ms. Stephanie
Storms of ATC's legal staff will have contacted Iowa City's Assistant
City Attorney, Mr. David Brown. I am optimistic they will be able to
work out a mutually acceptable solution in the near future.
As to the Public Library air conditioning equipment problem, we have
received a copy of a letter dated December 22, 1981 from Mr. Ed Zastrow,
President of the Library Board of Trustees. Attached to Mr. Zastrow's
letter was a legal opinion on this matter from City Attorney, Mr. Robert
W. Jansen. Our legal staff is presently reviewing Mr. Jansen's opinion
and the lease agreement between the Iowa City Public Library and Hawkeye
Cablevision Corporation. Once we receive a recommendation from our legal
staff, we will then proceed accordingly to resolve this problem. I can
assure you that it is our intent to abide by the terms and conditions of
the Lease Agreement and we expect the same of the Public Library.
Finally, in reply to your comment concerning inclusion of an acceptable
cultural arts channel in the Iowa City channel lineup, I am sure you're
aware that a channel of this type was not originally proposed by ATC and

made to add CBS Cable to the Iowa City system during the first quarter

Again, thank you for taking time to call these problems to my attention.
