Rosemary Vitosh and I have had a chance to review the problems. It appears that we are dealing with Murphy's Law: "If anything can go wrong it will." There were a number of factors, some planned and others unplanned, combined with employee errors both by the City and the service bureau which produced a great deal of delay. The water billing system was transferred from the service bureau to the City's computer. Because of problems in preparing the new program and making the change, there was some delay. In addition, meters for many customers were read early for the prior billings making those billing periods shorter than two months; this in turn also helped to lengthen the billing period for the current 'billings. To complicate matters, this was the first billing for the increased sewer and water rates which became effective September 1. All of the changes were made at this time because we were not interested in paying the extra money I required for the service bureau to rewrite the programs and then go on the new computer soon thereafter. , Also, we have discovered that the computer service bureau developed some errors at the end of its work and that keypunch work by one of our employees inadvertently missed a section of one cycle, thereby creating estimated billings for a number of people. During this period, we also have changed the billing baccle for e customers so sis thereby leveling out the hworkload land nthe collection of revenue.a Allkly of the planned changes were made as of February 17 and the scheduling of readings now is back on a two-month cycle. The result of all these problems and changes combined is that most customers received a bill for a three-month period rather than a two-month period. The amount of this bill would, of course, have been higher just because of the extended period, but on top of that the increased rates were applied. Most people justifiably thought there was a mistake in the billing. An apology has been prepared to be sent with the waterbills and to the news media. If you receive any more questions concerning water billings, please contact me. bdw/sp 3�y j ulronniurn ov � 1 JORM MICR(6LAB- CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES ; I r' \ _y J-1 Musr [3E (\MISTAKE: /MV WATER • BILL HAS /V EVER THIS�,t� r..` R i /, �II !.7 m Il I ,U §§m Il, ymu coo go 6o wbiga g wim roll TIIIS WE APOLOGIZE .... i YOUR RECENT WATER DILL PROBABLY WAS IIIGIIEII TITAN YOU EXPECTED.

The City's proposal will approximately cost a total of $220,000. This includes: 5 diesel powered small buses @ $40,000 each - $200,000 Farebox and radio @ $4,000 per bus - 20,000 TOTAL $220;000 Therefore our local match would be approximately $44,000. The City has sufficient funds in the Mass Transit Equipment Reserve Fund to provide this local match as well as the match for the Neoplan coaches arriving this summer.

One reason is the rich building heritage of the old downtowns Many people have an affection for older shopping districts a love for "Main Street" This loyalty Is one of the greatest assets of older districts. Th6 downfall of the downtown districts first began with the advent of suburban shopping centers and malls with their sophisticated management and marketing techniques Many of those same techniques can aid struggling downtowns Form Assoclation Downtowns can once again become viable business and shopping districts To accomplish this, successful dowry towns have organized themselves Rather than have a voluntary association to which less an a o the businesses ong many towns have passed p "1 assessment legislation" which creates a permanentsource of funds for downtown revitalization This program works best when property owners are assessed by the city and funds are turned over to the association for ongoing management When the association can afford to hire a professional marketing/management person or company, it should do sa Ii This gives It a person to coordinate marketing programs and to implement the necessary management policies to Another important function of a downtown -manager is to prevent bum out on the part of a few "dedfcatedtc, the -cause' merchants who put together all the downtown promotions as well as run their own businesses A successful downtown must be convenient, safe, clean and asthetically pleasing Since there are no uniform lease commitments to a single landlord In a downtown, a facade ordinance enforced by the city is important The program Increases the attractiveness of the downtown to customers and businesses After all the external physical appearance of a building creates the first impression for the public and contributes to the overall Image of the downtown Polish Image But downtown must do more than a facelift to be competitive Window displays and merchandising must be unique and imaginative Store employees need to know merchandise selection not only at their particular store, but at other downtown stores as well The convenience of a downtown shopping district must be improved Again without uniform leases there are no set hours, so the downtown manager must work to coordinate store hours on a voluntary basis It Is Imperative to a downtown's success that merchants are open when it is most convenient for people to shop. Many merchants are beginning to realize that with more women in the work force, nine -to -five hours are not practicable Another major issue is safety. Merchants need not extend their hours If the shopping district is perceived as unsafe Shopping habits have so altered in the past decade that the consumer under• estimates the merchandise and services offered downtown Therefore, consumers along with the merchants must be reeducated JONESREPORT Downtown promotional efforts must be Improved and updated Reattractt� customers from therima trade area is the most promising state v for increasing sales Many older commercial areas are capturing less than 20 pecent of the potential sales from their pri�ary trade area Emphasize Heritage Local celebrations emphasizing town heritage have proven extremely successful These programs help maintain the community's affection for "Main Street" Special events and merchandising programs must have the support and participation of the entire downtown business district so the consumer perceives the area as a unified cohesive group of businesses Coordinated media ads for the whole business district make the impact of one large ad which is greater than that of several small ads A successful downtown revitalization program will have a strong Impact on the economic development of the community. Rehabilitation and remodeling stimulate private investment Existing businesses often expand and new businesses are attracted when things are happening Retail sales rents and property value Increase at a dramatic rate in areas that were previously declining Municipal revenues Increase from rising property values and sales taxes A revitalized commercial area osiers a wider range of goods and services, more competitive prices and a more convenient and attractive shopping area In short, a revitalized commercial area is a community asset e ironr p urn uv I DORM MICREILA B CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOIRES i i 37fe 1 _;0 J� kECEll NE'D I ? 1) i"2?

(a Joint project of the. U of I , Iowa State University and the University of Northern lowa), says there's A definite need In Johnson.County to fill the gap between complete Independent living and nursing home or* Institutional care. Wali says past research shows that out. of 5,000 elderly In the county, nearly 15 percent (or 750) are in need of this type of supervised, non -institutional -housing. A report done four years ago by the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission confirms those statistics. "We want to establish new households In which the elderly can live — two to four people %vho shouldn't be In nursing homes, people who shouldn't be alone but aren't frail enough for constant care,"'he said. What they are looking for, Walz said, are smaller living environments rather than large. - multiple -unit buildings.

Walz says Family Life Homes would come close to being foster homes for -senior citizens. "Rather than just having a room In someone else's, home, these people would have their own apartments or moms.. It's particularly difficult. for elders to live In someone else's home. They ned neutral territory." Each group home would be managed by a caretaker who would collect rents, oversee general maintenance and upkeep, and. coordinate. obtaining outside support services whenever extra care is needed.
