Washington Street Iowa City, IA 52240 RE: Request for Expansion of Licensing Limit of the Copper Dollar For Temporary Use Dear Folks: This letter will serve as a formal request of liquor and beer licensee Copper Dollar, Inc. who own LC -13280 expiring on June 27, 1983 to expand on a temporary basis beer sale from their existing two story licensed premises located at 211 Iowa Avenue immediately to the west of an area which appears to be an 18 foot alley. See attached schetmatic marked "Temporary Beer Garden". There will be accompanying this Application a letter from the insurance company stating that our total required insurance policies will be ex- tended to the premises or in the alternative, if same cannot be presented at the work session on Monday August 30, 1982, we would anticipate approvals subject to the express insurance coverage confirmation. Attached to this Application is the consent of the effected tenants of premises immediately to the west. These properties apparently all have rights to use this 18 foot piece of property which is currently legally titled to the First Universalist Parish, which is a church that apparently has ceased its existence back in the 20's. The easements which appear in the deeds to the premises fronting on Dubuque street got started back in 1908 and subsequent thereto by simply being added to the conveyencing of the buildings located on Dubuque Street, even though the owners of those premises had no grant of right from the First Universalist Parish, the current titleholder.

Personnel would be located at all fire escapes and at all points of entry from the North and South of the alley for the purpose of crowd control. No glassware would be in the area as plastic cups would be utilized and all cleanup would be accomplished by Copper Dollar staff before 9:00 a.m. on Sunday morning. i We respectfully request the council to approve our Application for this additional temporary permit for the purposes above stated and only for the dates above requested for the purpose of better serving the football crowds attending the football spectacle presented by the fighting Hawkeyes and their worthy opponents.

Hours and hours have been spent by the local county attorneyss board of supervisorss city councils and many others in an attempt to solve this problem. It seems that the Office of Program Developments Administration on Aging, 330 Independence Ave., Room 4748m Washington, D. C. 20201, should be requested to define *that is meant by "persons with the greatest economic or social needs" if all persons 60 or over are not eligible for congregate meals. Most of the elderly are familiar with eligibility requirements for low income housings food stamps.. p roperty tax rebate, cheese and butter distributions additional social security benefits for low income persons free chore services Seats and local bus services visiting nurse services y and free garbage carry -out. Health and welfare programs need guide lines for proper administration.

First, I believe the current policy of charging landlords for tenant unpaid water bills is unjust. If water service is not provided by the landlord under the lease, the contract for such service is between the 'tenant and the City. There is no contract implied or otherwise between the landlord and the City in such cases. In fact, the landlord cannot call and order water service for a tenant. The tenants must arrange for such service themselves. And, it is the tenants, not the landlords, who receive the service. Where is the justification, then, for involving the landlord in the payment of bills? Second, the City {Vater Department improperly "clusters" delinquent bills. If a landlord owns properties A, B, and C, and the tenants in all those properties leave unpaid water bills, the City has lumped all the bills from A, B, and C and assessed them to A, and then has billed the landlord along with the threat of shutting off service to property A and/or placing a lien on that property. In this case if liens are imposed, would the City go back and assess individual liens against properties A, B, and C, or would just one aggregate lien be assessed against property A? I asked a (Vater Department clerk this question and got an "I don't really know" answer. I think the City could have legal problems as a result of this prac- tice. Third, the (Vater Department has no director with whom one can discuss departmental policies in any great depth. With no director, there is a lack of consistency in the answers one gets from clerical personnel. Currently, the Treasurer is covering as director but, frankly, I can't see how both jobs can be handled, adequately, by one person. Richard F.

By the end of August, 1982, there will have been 37 students who have contributed more than 5,000 hours to our Outreach Program. This amounts to an in-kind donation or more than $30,000. Our students helped senior citizens with running errands, grocery shopping assistance, transportation, friendly visiting, cheese distribution, applications for rent -reimbursement, and other much needed tasks. In addition to these services, twelve of our students were in practicum therefore learning social work skills in working with the aged. Their time was spent in counseling, assessing, and coordinating services for our frail and vulnerable clients. Since we began our Outreach Program, we - have provided these services and many others to more than 275 elderly individuals. In fact, our Outreach Program generally serves an average of 20 to 25 people at one time. We are very concerned that with the termination of these outreach services our elderly clients will soon become candidates for nursing home care. - i elp these people stay in their homes as long With outreach intervention we can h ding a very cost-effective service to the community and the as possible, provi elderly. Perhaps you will understand our program better by looking at the following paragraphs which further describe our outreach services. onduct "case management" which is the One of its principal tasks is to c coordination of a variety of services around a single case or individual. The • clients addressed by a "case management" approach are individuals who lack the assist them in negotiating personal resources, a family member, or a friend to services to meet their needs. The process involves assessment, a service plan, periodic reassessment, maintaining regular contact with the service providers (i.e. OAHHSA, Home Delivered Meals, DSS) to ensure that services are relevant to client needs, and that services are delivered in a useful and cost-effective way. As you can understand, this kind of service is most difficult to coordinate with volunteers. It is also hard on the clients as there is a continual turnover of volunteers, thus making it hard for the client and the volunteer to establish trust and rapport... two essential ingredients for a successful working relationship. Another principal task is the location of persons over 60 who may be in need of supportive services and to mobilize community resources to respond to the needs of older persons, to advocate, to negotiate, to refer, and to follow-up those individuals to ensure that needs have been met.

As a half-time employee of the Iowa; City Parks and Recreation Department, Suchomel combs a 18- blocif area of the central business district, spearing waste paper and other trash and hauling it away in . his custom garbage can on wheels. He's also a sure bet to take the podium.at City Council meetings during the porlJon of the agenda set j,'aside for public discussion. ..If i bade something to complain �.-about or something good to say to '. the council, t like tosay it," he says ` of his regular appearances at formal council sessions. "I think people should.keop in touch with their city ;`council members and not just sit back and say nothing or just sit home and watch the meetings on ,. cable:TV,".; `i;�; ' Suchomel attends so many coun- c11 meetings he's been encouraged to make another run at election to the 1: council.He tried. once in 1979, ;finishing last ,In an eight -candidate prlmery;eleMlon.with 338 votes. Though he says he's not likely to [',zeek public office again, he remains +committed to. his own brand of .public�.aetvice. Ager atornado bUSil,. tdevnnrernd-Marion. Ill.. May 29, Suchomel began soliciting contribu- tions for a disaster relief fund. His goal was $100. He wound up collecting $30.42 and mailing a check to the town's mayor. Sucho- me] later received another $25 contribution and mailed that off, too. His latest fund-raising effort in- volves collecting contributions for what he terms the "Johnson County Flood Relief Project " which he launched after a 5 -inch min in June prompted Iowa Gov. Robert Ray to declare Johnson County a disaster area. He's placed collection cans in a downtown florist shop and bank, but so far has collected only $11. "I went into the project with $71, which is money. I've found on the streets over the last five years," he said. "I've got an open account at the First National Bank for the disaster fund. I checked with Pat McCarney, the county's civil defense director, and he said there's been no real call for money yet, so I'll let It build up to maybe $500 before I present a check to the mayor of Iowa City, Maty Neuhauser.:' Suchomel has worked for seven years for the city's parks department picking up paper, cans, bottles and other debris. 77he bottles and -cans he finds are redeemed for their S. cent deposits, and Suchomel for- wards the money to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. His contri- buttons to that cause usually aver- age $200 a year, but the advent of Iowa's so-called "bottle bill" has slimmed the pickings. There's no shortage of other litter in downtown Iowa City, he said. 'This is the dirtiest summer we've ever had;-' he said. 'The opening of the downtown pedestrian mall has made things' worse, too. The bottle and can law has helped, but not with breakage. A lot of people stili -break beer bottles, especially along Iowa Avenue and in the parking lots." Suchomel said he's found quite a few wallets and checkbooks over the , 141CROFILI•IED 01' i JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES years and, with the help of Iowa Cit: police, has been able to return mos to their owners. "I found a wallet recently tha' belonged to a wrestler from Nev York who was here for a summe: wrestling camp," he said. "It hal more than $20 in it, and we mailed K- off to his home in New York." Suchomel said his biggest litter headache continues to be soil& disposable diapers. I wish people would learn hov to properly dispose of those," ht said. "I stili find quite a few."
