Jones, C. Neuzil Chairman Saeugling opened the meeting at 7:35 p.m.. The minutes of the May 20th meeting were considered and corrected to read, in the next to the last paragraph of the first page, "...it was decided the NDB should be installed in the middle of the field, rather than off the airport." Zehr presented the bills for the month and explained them briefly. They were approved for payment as presented. Zehr also reported receiving grant money in the amount of $1,815.19, representing the state's share of the expense for removing trees from the runway approaches. Zehr reported having worked with Attorney Brown to refine the language of the proposed ordinance to amend Chapter 4 of the Code of Ordinances of Iowa City. Having investigated the issue of insurance for individual owners of airplanes based at the airport, Zehr could find no requirement for such insurance, and no other airport in Iowa which requires it. In regard to Flying Clubs, Zehr could find no legal definition of a club. The need for such a definition was discussed at length, but no decision could be reached. Chairman Saeugling suggested that a committee be formed to work on the problem, and George and Schmeiser volunteered to serve. Further refinements to the proposed ordinance were suggested by Tiffany, and these were agreed to by the members. Moving to Item 3-b of the agenda, Zehr reported the renter of the United Hangar Office Space has paid rent in advance until July 1, 1982, and expects to be able to inform the Commission of future intentions by that date. Since cable TV will be installed to the airport terminal building soon, Zehr requested instruction regarding the purchase of a television set to be placed in the Pilots' Briefing Room. It was decided that the radar weather reports which will soon be available would be of great benefit to pilots for flight planning, and would warrant the purchase of a small color TV set. Chairman Saeugling reported having met with Marlin Knutson, a representative of the Iowa Concrete Pavers Association, to study the problem of repairing the deteriorating runways. The recommended solution would be a bonded overlay of critical areas. Zehr is currently making drawings which will show where repairs will be needed. It was agreed to hold the next meeting of the Airport Commission on July 15, 1982. The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m. Recorder: Priscilla Wright IIICROFIL14ED ev i JORM MICR6B CEDAR RAPIDS DES'MOINES X0/9 1 r MINUTES CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION MAY 25, 1982 CITY MANAGER'S CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: Maxwell, Orel up, Walker STAFF PRESENT: Carroll, Morris PUBLIC PRESENT: Dan Dreckman, President of Iowa City Patrolmen's Association; Al Hinkel, KGAN-TV station; Pat Kroblin, WMT -TV station SUMMARY OF RELEVANT DISCUSSION: The meeting was called to order at 12:01 PM by Chairperson Arletta Orelup. DISCUSSION OF THE POLICY TO REINSTATE TERMINATED EMPLOYEES: Chairperson Orelup asked for public comments on the proposed changes to the existing Reinstatement Police. Oreckman stated that the consensus of the Patrolmen's Association is that all returning individuals should be retested by the Civil Service Commission with the Commission choosing the method of examination. Chairperson Orelup aksed for comments from the Commission members on the proposed changes to the policy. After reviewing Section 400.17 of the Iowa Code, Walker stated that he was satisfied that there is nothing in this section that prohibits the proposed changes to the current policy and that -there are no cases or other interpretations that are definitive in addressing the reinstatement of a previous employee. Walker stated that Section 400.8 establishes provisions for the Commission to hold examinations for entry-level positions but does not address the issue of reinstatement. Historically, Section 400.7, which deals with the inception of Civil Service in Iowa, gives full civil service rights (effective date: April 16, 1937) to any person who had served five years or more in a position; but any person who had served less than five years had to retest. This Section seems.to give preference to individuals with prior work experience. POLICY MODIFICATION: The Commission agreed to amend the existing policy as follows: In paragraph #1 - The one year reinstatement period was extended to two years; "a position" was changed to "an entry-level position." Paragraph #2 - The requesting former employee shall submit his/her request to the Civil Service Commission for consideration provided: t MICROFILMED RY I JORM MIC ROIL AB ?

Zastrow introduced Patricia Forsythe, Library Foundation Coordinator, to the Board. Forsythe has a masters degree in Library Science and was for three years a professional fund-raiser at Cal -Tech. in California. Forsythe then gave an overview of what she plans to accomplish for the Library Foundation. Minutes of the Regular Meeting of April 22nd were approved. Wallace/Bovbjerg. Disbursements for May 1 and May 15, 1982 were approved. Bartley/Wallace. The Director reported on the following: 1. The status of the FY82 budget is."comfortable" at this stage because of -assistance of volunteers, cut back in service levels last December and lack or time to work on some projects. The shape of the budget will be much easier with fifteen months of experience in the new building to base it on. 2. The sales tax refund of over $31,000.00 was received today and has • been deposited in the building project fund. I will try to work with the Finance Director to get this account closed out soon after July 1. All funds should be spent or encumbered by then. 3. The library's serious technical problems with the computer lasted from April 19 through May 6 except for brief periods of operation on 3 days. CLSI was as anxious as the library to get this system back to full operating condition. They had service personnel working on site for all but one Sunday and provided extra equipment to assist in "recovery" after the system was "uP11. Considering the inconvenience, the public was most understanding, primarily because the staff tried so hard to assist and accommodate them. 4. Because of this set back, the general upgrade to the system has been postponed to June 9-10. We hope we can complete the upgrade in 24 hours with only an afternoon and evening of downtime during public service hours. 5. We will be receiving a collection development grant from the East Central Regional System as payment for the larger share of interlibrary loans ICPL is providing since they began direct on-line searching of our catalog last September. We are currently negotiating an amount for FY1982 following completion of the trial period. 6. The "Tour Season" has begun again. We are getting several calls a week from libraries wishing to visit the library. They come to see the building, the -computer system and/or the AV/Cable facilities and programs. MICROFILMED By ' JORM MIC RbLAB i I I � CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOVIES j I I r MINUTES IOWA CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES REGULAR MEETING May 27, 1982 Page two There are several personnel issues which will be treated systematically in June when the Board begins it's review of the staff's draft of Personnel Policy revisions: Sunday scheduling, compensation for managers who share weekend/evening service desk shifts and classification issues. The Joint City/Union reclassification study while resulting in upgrading the classification of almost all unit employees (following an almost library -wide appeal of the preliminary recommendation) has taken a heavy toll. Staff time, staff morale, the internal coherence of library jobs and the Library's flexibility in classifying and managing it.'s personnel have been lost or damaged. The Director and the library staff were both negligent in not demanding better representation in this process. The Union vote on whether to accept the plan (as amended through appeals) will take place,Wednesday, June 2. The President named the following Board members to serve on the nominating committee to report to the June meeting: Carolyn Cavitt, Chair, Jean Bartley and Herb Lyman. He announced that the annual Board dinner would follow the June 24 meeting at 6:30 PM at the University Athletic Club. Zastrow reported on his negotiations with. Jerry Yutkin, Regional Manager of ATC (parent company of Hawkeye CableVision) regarding resolution of the dispute over air conditioning for the area leased from the Library by Hawkeye. Under the authorization given him by the Board at the April meeting, Yutkin and Zastrow agreed to install a unit similar to that used in the Library's computer room. ATC will rent the unit for several months to test its adequacy and then contribute the majority of the cost ($2300) to the Library's Gift and Bequest Fund. The Board will wave the final payment due the Library for constuction costs (51,000). The water used by the unit will be metered and charged back to Hawkeye/ATC as are the other utilities. The Board unanimously approved the proposal pending verification and confirmation of the agreement. Bartley/Wallace. The decision to commence taping Library Board meetings following a reccommendation of the City Council was discussed and the President's reply to the Council reviewed. Taping begins with this meeting and tapes will be kept in the Local Documents section of the Library to allow easy access by the public. Bartley reported for the Iowa City Public Library Foundation on the interview process that led to the selection of Pat Forsythe as the Coordinator. A Foundation phone has been installed; initial meetings with Foundation President Ostedgaard and with the Library Director have been held. Forsythe will outline some of her recommendations to the Foundation at their next meeting on June 9th. Cavitt reported on the progress of the Planning Committee. The group is continuing to meet for three hours every other Tuesday evening. They have completed a thorough examination of the Community and Library Profiles and have spent the last two meetings developing a list of issues. They are beginning to look at survey instruments to gather data needed to assist with resolution of items on the issue list. Cavitt asked if the Board would authorize funds from Gifts and Bequests to allow machine scoring and analysis of the survey results. Informal approval was given. A more specific proposal will be presented later. Cavitt also described the Committee's current dilema on the difficulty of structuring surveys so that needs of potential target groups can be identified before priorities for groups to be served have been decided. MICROFILM BY -CORM MICR OLAB 1 � L[OA2 RAPIDS DES MOINES ' boa I r MINUTES IOWA CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES REGULAR MEETING May 27, 1982 Page three The question of whether the Board should attempt to shape the direction of the study based on their service priorities was discussed and informally rejected. The Committee will take a closer look at the recent Staff/Board survey results in order to understand current Board priorities. Letters from Mayor Mary Neuhauser on tape recording of LibraryBoard Meetings (May 12, 1982) and from Robert F. O'Connor (May 13, 1982) andDougAllaire (May 14, 1982) regarding air conditioning in cable TV leased areas were received and placed on file. The Board conducted its annual review of the non-resident family fee card based on figures provided by the Director. The figures are based on the Board -adopted formula for computing the fee: operating budget plus city administhative and debt service costs, minus fees and contracts divided by the Iowa City population times the average family size in Johnson County�allace questioned the inclusion students in the population figure. It was decided that this was offset by the fact that only about 50% of the general fund is supported from property taxes. By majority vote, the Board approved the continuation of the $60.00 fee during FY1983 even though the formula produced a figure of $62.86. Cavitt cast the dissenting vote, feeling that the figure should be $65.00 for FY1983. The meeting was adjourned at 5:50 PM. The next regilarly scheduled meeting for the Library Board of Trustees will be June 24th at 4:00 PM in the Administrative Conference Room on the second floor of the Library.

The issue is being brought up again as a licensing inspection was conducted under the new Housing Code. Ms. Peters reported that the apartment had adequate lighting and ventilation and that she has never received any complaints from occupants. Logan asked if it would involve major construction to raise the ceiling and the approximate cost. Ms. Peters stated it was the main structure of the house and had no idea of the cost. She felt it was unreasonable to think about it because it was a very livable situation. Karstens made a motion that because of the number of windows and the amount of ventilation a variance of Chapter 17-5.N. be granted. Logan seconded. The motion carried.

APPEAL OF WILLIAM TERRY Others present: William Terry Inspector Malone reported on a licensing inspection conducted at 527 East College, on February 16, 1982. The property consists of six dwelling units and one rooming unit. The property had been inspected by Inspector Vezina the year prior and the code at the time did not have a requirement of 7' ceiling height. The violation being appealed is Chapter 17-5.N.(4) lack of required ceiling height in the kitchen and livingroom of Apt. 7, which have ceiling heights of 6'4" and 615". Mr. Terry stated that he had purchased the structure in 1973. The basement at that time was condemned. Plans were drawn up to bring the entire structure up to maximum code. The basement floors were dug out to get maximum ceiling heights. They spent over $20,000 at that time. The bedroom has adequate windows, the livingroom has three windows, the kitchen has no windows but upon recommendation of the City, an extensive exhaust system was installed. Karstens inquired about the ventilation system and there was discussion on the location of the windows. Mr. Terry stated the apartment had always been rented to only one person and that there were hot air and water pipes above the ceiling in both the kitchen and livingroom. Haendel asked about the type of heating. Mr. Terry explained that a new forced air furnace was installed last year. There was discussion on the means of escape from the bedrooms in case of fire. Mr. Terry pointed out that window wells were installed so tenants would be able to climb up and out. He also pointed out that there is egress from each room. Logan made a motion to grant a variance of Chapter 17-5.N.(4), lack of required minimum ceiling height. Karstens seconded the motion. The motion carried. 1042CPL 1 141CROEILMED By JORM MICR6LAB 1 -J CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES i i i r HOUSING APPEALS BOARD MAY 11, 1982 PAGE 3 APPEAL OF MR. JOHN SCHINTLER Others present: John Schintler Inspector Malone reported that on March 12, 1982, a licensing inspection was conducted at 429 East Bowery, which is a single-family dwelling. On the third floor there is a room being used as a television room which has a ceiling height of 6'5h" and drops down to 31. Mr. Schintler is willing to install a secondary egress, and apply for a building permit if a variance is not granted. He has adequate window area, and a place for a fire ladder at the base of two windows. Mr. Schintler stated that the room in question had been finished off years ago before he purchased it. He had known that it did not qualify as a sleeping room so he has not rented it as such, but due to the increasing cost of taxes, repairs, maintenance, etc., he is asking that a ceiling height variance be granted so he can generate more income. David Malone further explained the layout of the third floor. The ceiling height is 615i" at high point and then it slopes down gradually to 31. There is also heat, electrical outlets, smoke detector and a fire extinguisher. The room is quite large. David Brown stated that the Board needed to consider its decision very carefully as to whether this type of format would raise a health and safety consideration. Haendel stated that she would very much like to have Fire Marshal Kinney look at it, as he would be able to judge the fire code and health and safety of the room. Carol Karstens made a motion that they defer a decision until the Fire Marshal had inspected the room and could report to the Board. Logan seconded the motion. The motion carried. APPEAL OF JOHN NOLAN Others present: None Inspector Malone reported that on March 2, 1982, he conducted a licensing inspection at 1000 E. Church. Only one unit of this duplex was inspected. Several violations were cited. Mr. Nolan was not present, but Inspector Malone read his letter of appeal to the Board. His appeal concerned the ceiling height in the second floor unit. The livingroom has a height of 6'8" at its peak. The ceiling height of the bedrooms A f 6'1" to 612" at the peak and sloped down to 315". range rom There was a lengthy discussion by the Board. The concern was expressed that this ceiling height was very low and the question raised of what the Board's liability would be in granting a variance in this situation. David Brown pointed out that the Board's responsibility is to protect the public from serious health and safety factors. Karstens made a motion to uphold the violation, Chapter 17-5.N.(4), lack of required minimum ceiling height in the two upstairs bedrooms. Haendel seconded the motion. The motion carried.
