I CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES C City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: September 23, 1982 To: Neal Berlin and City Council From: Chuck Schmadeke , 'I Re: Southwest Interceptor Sewer and Hawkeye Lift Station The southwest interceptor sewer and Hawkeye lift station were first proposed by Stanley Engineering Company in June of 1958 as a solution to the problem of transporting sewerage from the University of Iowa married student housing, Coralville, University Heights, and west Iowa City to the Iowa City wastewater treatment plant. The Councils of Iowa City and Coralville sought an alternative to Stanley's recommendation in November of 1958 and employed Sherman Smith and Associates for that purpose. The Sherman Smith and Associates alternative only addressed the problem of transporting sanitary sewerage from Coralville to the Iowa City wastewater treatment plant. Maps showing the two alternatives are attached (figures 1 and 2). Phase 1 of the Sherman Smith alternative was constructed in 1961. Veenstra & Kimm Consulting Engineers were requested in February of 1963 to prepare plans and specifications for construction of a portion of the southwest interceptor sewer as proposed by Stanley Engineering Company to serve a proposed subdivision along Benton Street (Bryn Mawr Heights Addition which includes Wylde Green Road). In September of 1963, Veenstra & Kimm submitted a report recommending construction of the southwest interceptor sewer as previously proposed by Stanley Engineering Company. The construction of the Hawkeye lift station, however, was not recommended. Instead, Veenstra & Kimm recommended utilizing the existing Coralville lift station and the existing State University of Iowa married student housing lift station. See figure 3. During 1965 Iowa City installed the southwest interceptor sewer, directed Veenstra & Kimm to design the west side (Hawkeye) lift station, considered annexing west to the Johnson County Home and north to the University's Oakdale facility, and entered into an agreement with Coralville to treat Coralville's sewage, construct the southwest interceptor sewer and construct the west side lift station. In addition, the University of Iowa was continuing its expansion of the Hawkeye married student housing complex along Mormon Trek. Due to these events, Veenstra & Kimm recommended construction of the west side lift station in a supplemental report dated April 13, 1966. Also, in April of 1966, the City applied to the Department of Housing & Urban Development for a grant to aid in financing the construction of the west side lift station. On October 18, 1966, the City of Iowa City and the City of Coralville revised the above-mentioned 1965 agreement extending the completion date of the southwest interceptor sewer and the west side lift station from December 31, 1966, to December 31, 1967. Iowa City 111CRor ILb1ED By i JORM MICR6LA9 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES 140INES 1 J awarded a contract for the construction of the west side lift station on February 22, 1967. The work was accepted by the City Council on July 9, 1968. The Iowa City Council vigorously supported a regional treatment facility to serve Iowa City, Coralville, University Heights, and the University of Iowa. The construction of the west side lift station was, in part, an attempt to entice Coralville to continue to use Iowa City's facilities. It would have cost Coralville $100,000 to construct a sewer line to the west side lift station as opposed to the $550,000 cost to construct a new waste water treatment plant. Also, the State Board of Regents preferred to have Iowa City provide municipal services to Oakdale via the west side lift station because of the University of Iowa's investment in existing City facilities. The City of Coralville rejected the regional treatment concept, and in February of 1967, Iowa City filed suit in district court to stop Coralville from constructing a waste water treatment plant. According to a Press -Citizen article dated February 28, 1967, Iowa City Mayor William C. Hubbard stated, "The proposed site and plans for the plant (Coralville) are not, in the Council's opinion, in the best interest of Iowa City, Johnson County, or the University of Iowa". In March of 1967, Johnson County joined Iowa City in the suit against the plant. Johnson County District Court granted a permanent injunction against Coralville's waste water treatment plant on Camp Cardinal Road an March 28, 1967, and Coralville immediately appealed the ruling to the State Supreme Court. Over the next 18 months Iowa City, Coralville and Johnson County tried to reach an out-of-court settlement and, in fact, did so during December of 1968. Coralville then proceeded with the construction of their waste water treatment plant. The events and decisions that have occurred between the time the west side lift station was recommended by Stanley Engineering Company in 1958 and Coralville's final decision to construct its own treatment plant have not been directed or guided by Veenstra & Kimm. Veenstra & Kimm's function was and is to offer engineering consultation on water and sewer matters to the City of Iowa City upon request. bdw/sp Attachments 1696 nICRUILnED BY J JORM MICR6LAB ' 1 � CEDAR RAPIDS DES 110IYES r' i 9bV I U1191A m mor ILMED DY JORM MICR6LAI3 j CEDAR RAPIDS G DES M019ES 1 a W J ; o' 9' „ a Y' W - € £ - O t c ul a a.�tO C Y y tit' m mor ILMED DY JORM MICR6LAI3 j CEDAR RAPIDS G DES M019ES 1 r 7 I41cRorI V'ED DT JORM MICRdLAB- - 1 1 � CEDAR RAPIDS •DES FIDIAES I _ J i.ni1,M fnrl. 4nn e ...0 cn. e•mm MIT ro' • xn. o.n.a we ne nrwr mnlne+4 )FA Cnrr IOw• 4UQIVRL $I.E.

IoW. 50205 April 13, 1966 Supplemental Report Sewer Construction Iowa City, Iowa In accordance with your instructions we submit this supplemental report on Iowa City's needs for future major sewer construction. This report is a supplement to our comprehensive document entitled, "Report - Sanitary Sewerage System - City of Iowa City, Iowa - 1963", which was presented to the City Council on September 9, 1963. This supplement is required to update our previous report and to reflect planning changes which have become necessary to meet the needs for sanitary sewer service which were unforeseen at the time the original report was prepared. These changes are due to three important factors: 1. Annexation of large areas in almost every direction from the City. In 1964, approximately 5.64 square miles were annexed to Iowa City. One of the determining factors in the favorable annexation election was the ability of the City to provide sanitary sewer service to the areas. Another election, to be held on April 19, 1966, would increase the geographical size of Iowa City by approximately 46 per cent with the addition of roughly 7 square miles. In terms of population, the City has risen from 33,500 in 1960 to an estimated 41,600 in 1966. The City Planning Department indicates that the ratW'of'growth will continue at an accelerated pace for quite some time. 2. Unprecedented construction of married student housing units by the University of Iowa, west of Iowa City. In 1963 the University of Iowa planned an ultimate development of 500 iiicr rILMCD 8Y i JORM MIC ROL4B ! � CEDAR RAPIDS DES P101AES a /6 9( 1 r L apartment units west of Iowa City. In late 1965, the number of units contemplated was increased to 3,200. 3. Since our original report, the Oakdale Sanatorium has been made a part of the University of Iowa medical center by action of the General Assembly of Iowa. While the treatment of tuberculosis patients will continue at Oakdale, the University is planning to develop the area as a research center and eventually a security hospital will be operated at this site by the Iowa State Board of Control. In addition,' some of the land will be available and suitable for the general growth of the University. The State Board of Regents, the'governing body of the University of Iowa, and the Board of Control have requested, as a beginning, 'sewer service from Iowa City and annexation of the entire site by the City of Iowa City. Outlined below are the various major sewer projects which the City must construct within the next few years. Some of these projects are described in our previous report; others have come about due to changes in conditions since submission of the original report. In the following paragraphs we have described each project, set forth the areas to be served, established pipe sizes, and prepared estimates of cost for the various projects. Location of the projects is shown on the attached drawing. IJEFFERSON STREET RELIEF SEWER I This sewer is discussed on pages 37-44 of our original report. General routing of the sewer is shown on Figure 4 of that report. 1 This sewer is necessary to augment the capacity of the existing 30" Jefferson Street Relief Sewer which has a capacity of 5.4 mgd. It will receive flow from the Lower Muscatine Road Trunk, the Southeast Trunk, the Rundell Street Trunk, and the Northeast Trunk, all now under construction. While our original report stated that this relief sewer would be needed in about 10 years, rapid residential growth now dictates its construction. Sewer capacity in Jefferson Street should be equal to the capacity of all sewers tributary to Jefferson Street at Manhole R-1, recently constructed. The required capacity of the new Jefferson Street 1 Relief Sewer is 13.0 mgd. Based on field surveys in more detail than in our original report, we find that a 42" pipe is needed. -2 109 r 111CROf ILMEO By JORM MIC ROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES EstimatedThis cost considerablyshigherhthan mthat eset tcut in6ou0r00. original reports However, it reflects the increase in pipe size and is realistic and in line with present day prices.

Coralville was to provide its own pumping facilities and force main to pump to the Southwest Interceptor Sewer. The now proposed annexation of the western areas was not envisioned in 1963. A connection to Oakdale, in 1963, was beyond the vision of both our firm and the City. Since the original report, the need for the West Side Pumping Station has become apparent. This station will serve the increased needs of the Hawkeye Apartments, Coralville, the western areas.,to be annexed by Iowa City, and Oakdale. This station will have two 4,000 gpm, variable speed pumps, to serve the needs of the areas served for the next 10 years. The force main will be 16" in diameter. The building is sized to house equipment for ultimate flows and has room for .the installation of pumps to serve any future development. The estimated cost of the West Side Pumping Station and force main 'i is $325,000. OAKDALE OUTFALL SEWER This project was conceived after our 1963 report was published. It will serve the western Iowa City area and any future developments at Oakdale. The recommended sewer work is shown on the attached drawing. This project has been divided into two parts: primarily to allocate costs attributable to the City and to the University. As we have advised you previously, it is difficult to assign reasonable flows to Oakdale due to the uncertainty of the operations to be carried on there.

Other members eyed the fl• asocial relief the district would bring municipalities and pointecil out that both Towa City and Car- alvflle were up to their boading capacity. The sanitary district could, levy up to two mills annually for operating expenses and could I Issue bonds by pledging revenue! of a tax levy up to five milts. This would remove the sewerage mi enses from municipal bud. ;ear. The psscedare Involved to sel- ling up a sanitary district has! four steps: a petition by 25 or more qualified voters: a public 'hearing conducted by the county board of supervisors: an elec.! l Uon, paid for by the county, ass to whether the district should be established; and U the district is approved• an election r o r choosing three district trustees.

In view of the current date and our October 1, 1982 deadline, we are asking for a six-month extension to April 1, 1983. We now are beginning again, working with two commercial prospects in our local area both of whom have prior knowledge of the project but have not been involved. We have also received a call from Don Zuchelli and have briefly discussed the theory of "redevelopment bonds" being issued by the city to build the building, followed by a double or triple net lease back to Armstrong's. This is an avenue we intend to pursue vigorously. With what we know today, Armstrong's Executive Committee would not be interested in making any further financial investment, such as the land commitment, at this time, realizing that we have already spent a large amount on architectural and engineering drawings. If you need something more formal in the way of a request please advise me. Sincerely, ig� C,� Allan C.

Peremsky, President Armstrongs, Inc. Third Avenue and Third Street, SE Cedar Rapids, IA 52401 Dear Mr. Peremsky: Obviously the City is very concerned about your request for an extension of time for closing on the purchase of the land in Iowa City. Because the prospectus for the hotel is being considered by prospective developers, this delay by Armstrongs greatly complicates the hotel project. The City believes that the department store project must be committed at the earliest possible opportunity. While the City desires to have Armstrongs in Iowa City, this delay cannot become a reason for precluding the award of the hotel project. Therefore, I believe it is the City Council's position that Armstrongs must be prepared to take some prompt definitive action concerning the department store project. The City Council would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss these matters with you at 4:30 P.M. on Monday, October 4, in the Conference Room of the Civic Center.

IOWA 52240 T T. ROOGERWERF DISTRICT MANAGER Neal G. Berlin, City Manager City of Iowa City 410 East Washington Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Mr. Berlin: September 29, 1982 As you know, our Mercury -Vapor Street Light rate provides for a reduction in billing for the initial six-year period after a light is installed. This reduced billing is "condi- tioned upon the municipality having granted the Company an electric franchise with a term of not less than 25 years and with more than two years remaining of such term." After October 8, 1982, there will be less than two years remaining on the current 25 -year franchise. To comply with the terms of the rate as filed with the Iowa State Commerce Commission, we must therefore discontinue the reduced billing on any mercury-vapor lights installed after October 8, 1982. The reduced billing on such lights installed prior to October 8, 1982 will be continued. When a new electric franchise is granted, the reduced billing would then apply to newly installed mercury-vapor lights after the effective date of the franchise. Hopefully, the franchise renewals can move forward in a prompt and expedient manner. We will respond shortly to the questions raised in your letter of September 21, 1982.

During recent weeks we have taken the following steps in an attempt to reduce mise in the area as much as reasonably possible: 1. We have changed the parking which involved changes in our electrical system. 2. We have installed baffles on the condenses to muffle the sound as much as passible. 3. We have checked all vehicles including refrigeration units for proper mufflers and mechanical operation. 4. We have cautioned drivers to operate all motor vehicles in such manner as to minimize sound. 5. We have added the provision to our pending lawsuit seeking the appoint- ment of a master based upon your idea of having sane third party look into the situation and make any feasible reommnendations for imorovenant. We do not under— stand why the City resisted this application. Under the circaretances, we cannot help but feel that an attempt is being made to "pressure" us into making sane agreement with the neighborhood.

W.,L STNII.T Juuxnu. HEN IT COMES to negotiating major redevelopment proj• ects. the folks in the nation's city halls are becoming downright entrepreneurial. In return for aiding developers with the financing of new hotels and shopping centers, cit• ies are demanding a slice of the action. And they're getting it in the form of percentages of rents and growth in the projects' values. This signals a shift in cities' atti- tudes. Not lung ago• most cities were content to �1 reap the extra property tax and greater em- ployment m ployment as their reward for making redevel- opment happen. No more. Fiscal restraints as well as the y federal urban development action grant pro- gram have encouraged cities to be more re- sourceful in promoting redevelopment. For instance. Louisville. Ky., will get 50'ro of cash How (after the developer gets a 1517* return on his equity( and 50% of the future appreciation in the historic Brown Hotel in return for aiding Cran- ston Development Co. with financing for the S42 million project. "The relationship between cities and developers now is more of a partnership venture." says J. Thomas Black, research director of the Urban land Institute. Adds Donald Zuchelli. a consuftanLAn_ ITIS MORE COMPLICATED TYPE of redevelopment assis• tance has pitfalls if a city Isn't careful. A percentage of net income doesn't mean much If there's a long line of other in. terests with a prior claim on earnings. Says Mr. Black of the Urban Land Institute, "The cities are generally in a pretty soft posi• tion in terms of priority for the percentage." And city officials are gambling that the trash flow will be suffi• ciently robust to make their percentage a meaningful return on In. vestment.

Without this assistance, many projects wouldn't happen. While everyone involved benefits from these arrangements, the developers typically benefit more. Mr. Black says that in some new hotel projects, cities have become involved when It wasn't es. sential. L,J ACL ST 2E E?

San Diego was unable to borrow money to build the garage. "At that Point the negotiations became very complex." says Dale Nelson, project manager for Hahn. Hahn agreed to lend the city Sa million interest-free for four years so the city could assemble 12 acres in a blighted neighborhood. Then Hahn will buy the land for $1 million. In return, Hahn will pay the city 1090 of Its rental Income in excess of the base rent for 50 years along with 319* of the parking revenue. Gerald Trimble, executive vice president of Centre City Devel• upment Corp., a nonprofit arm of the city estimates that the city will have about S30 million invested in Horton Plaza. The project, scheduled to begin construction next month. will bring In $2 million a year in new property taxes and 51 million in sales taxes. BDT WHAT IF NO DEVELOPER wants to tackle a particular project? New Haven, Conn., faced that dilemma in its efforts to transform an aging industrial area adjacent to Pale Uni. versity into a center for research-and•developmenI compa- mes. Private developers considered the project too risky, and so the city stepped in. Money was the first problem—the city lacked the Slo million necessary to finance the first phase, renovation of a 150,000 square fool, old brass mill into a research facility. But with some ingenuity New Haven is pulling it off. What it did was to set up a nonprofit developer, and sell the project's tax breaks to investors through limited partnerships thereby raising S1.3 million in equity for the project. Next• the city lined up construction financing by committing some of its federal community development block grant money as a no -interest loan. For a permanent mortgage, the city turned to five construe• tion unions' pension funds and persuaded them to put up $6.3 million as a first mortgage. But to meet pension laws, the city had to per- suade the state to guarantee the first mortgage for S6.1 million. Ad• ditionally, the city secured a 52.5 million urban development action grant to make a second mortgage on the project. foot— aew bout a square plansven nt the space a e oot higherthan thexisting market. square far, 30,000 square feet have been preleased, and the city expects competing space will be renting for about the same amount by the time the building is ready for occupancy, 111CRDf ILIFIED 65 JORM MICROLAB CEDAR NM'IDS • DCS -001nES I�OS J r L The Storm Over Women r1i+e�ighters BT Kin Slabiner n the shadow of a from the Uniformed Fire. seven -story scaling fighters Association, which tower, the 33 new re- challenges the Fire Depart. cruits in the Seattle ment's revised physical test.

Or do the tests — onented toward men and backed by departments often ambivalent about the status of women firefighters — fail to judge women by accurate standards? Firefighting, appropriately referred to as "combat" by those who practice it, places the issue of equal rights for women in a harsh light since lives are at stake. In the po- lice force, the significance of an officer's sex is diminished by his or her right to carry a gun. In the armed forces, combat is not an issue; all women are simply channeled into noncombat jobs. No- where is there a greater potential for conflict between the ideal of affirmative action and the real need for compe- tent service than in firelight. Ing. Officially, the New York City Fire Department and the city's personnel department. which administers civil.serv. ice tests, say that any woman who passes the new physical exam is qualified to fight fires. But department policy cannot influence the attitudes Of most of its 11,900 firemen, especially since the city Itself is less than enthusiastic about recruiting women. Tensions run predictably high, particu. larly among the male mem. bets of the Uniformed Flre. fighters Association, which has thrown up legal mad. blocks at several points along theway. Given New York City's re- luctance to hire women, no one expects an easy transi. Una. Initially, the city took a passive stance; the extent of Its outreach was to open Test 3010 to women. Four years later, the city suffered a cost. ly, embarrassing loss In a class-action suit brought by the 110 women who failed the test, charging that It dis. criminated against them and I'll CRor ILIIED 0Y JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES 'd V45 failed to evaluate jab -related skills. The court ordered New York City to develop an In. terim test for the women and a new physical exam, and originally held open 45 fire- fighters' jobs for any of the women who qualified. Fifty-two women passed the physical exam adminis. tered earlier this month, and more members of the class Will probably be allowed to take a makeup exam. The women's lawyers expect that some of the women who passed will decide not to join the farce, and that about a half dozen of the successful applicants will be challenged on technicalities. Allowing for dropouts before the train. ing course begins, and attrl. tion before it ends, New York may still end up with dozens of women firefighters, but the city has achieved equal op. portunity the hard way. Morale problems have sur. faced in every city that has admitted women into the fire service — even In Seattle, which earned a reputation for having the most progressive, if not the most controversial, civil -service policy in the country after a vast overhaul of Its testing, pretraining, hir. ing and promotion proce. dues. In 1975, Robert L. Swartout, now chief of the Seattle Fire Department and a 23 -year veteran, was in charge of re- cruit training, mandated by the Mayor and City Council "to get women into the next recrult class" and eventually "give Seattle a work force that reflected the makeup of the city." Swartout, who was made chief in 1980, now re- gards his flrst attempt as a textbook example of how not 1 J r to recruit women into the fire department. in a rush to com- ply, the department lowered standards, even scoring some eligibility tests retroactively to make sure women and mi. norities were included in the passing group. Of the 127 women who originally ap- plied, none could pass the physical test. Seattle altered its requirements so that six women qualified for the re- cruittraining,butthey,along with several men, dropped out of the program. Seattle had, Swartout realized, "a class full of failures." He reversed his approach. "Instead of lowering our standards," he says, "we realized we had to try to help the women raise their abil- ities and skills." The city began the second, more suc- cessful phase of its afflrms- tive-actlon experiment — a five-month, salaried pre- training program for women who passed the written test and were judged to have the potential to do the physical work. given the proper train- ing. Under the project, Seat- tle has produced 32 women firefighters. Satisfied with the results, Swartout recommended that the city end the women's Pro- gram in fiscal 1993. He denies that It Is a victim of a tight city budget. He believes the program, "which was always a phased thing," succeeded. "We now have examples for women," he says. "women who can fight fires and women who are able to pass our tests without the pretrain- ing." He expects about a half- dozen women to make It into next year's class. A voluntary workout program, supervised by a department physiologist, is currently available to both men and women. Barbara Beers, 27, a casu. alty of Seattle's first attempt to bring women onto the force, was the sole benefici- ary of the second effort. M athletic and coordinated woman who weighs 160 pounds and Is 5 feet 9 inches tall, she had dropped out of the first class citing a lack of upper -body strength — the bane of female firefighters — L for her poor showing. She chose to petition for reinstate- ment and entered the pm - training program alone. "Rain, snow, sleet or shine, she was out there chopping wood, hauling hose. Alone. Every day," Swartout re- calls, admiringly. "I was crazy," says Lieu. tenant Beers in hindsight. "When I think back on it, I'd never do It again. But I was young and I wanted that job." After five months of job training, which included cus- tomized weight lifting, she was ready for Seattle's six- week prerecruit program. Once she passed her physical exam, she faced recruit train- ing and a year's probation. In December 1977, after more than two years of prepara- tory work, Barbara Beers was deemed fit enough to be assigned to a combat compa- ny. She endured all this for the chance to lug heavy equip- ment, inhale all manner of toxic tumes and risk her life. One thing Lieutenant Beers and other women who fol- lowed her have proved is that they are equal to men in terms of motivation. Chief Swartout, who has queried all the department's women about why they willingly go through months of "hell" in preparation for firefighting, says: "It's exactly the same as it is for men. 'I here are women who like the idea of challenge.... They like the idea of flirting with that on. known, facing the danger and being able to go through those times and handle them iuc. cessfully." When the depart. ment circulated a short sur- vey among Its women fire. fighters that Included a ques- tion about what kind of duty the women preferred, they unanimously answered, "Combat." Money is another motiva. tion — from the salaries that may start around 517,000 an. nually, with regular raises, to pension plans and employee benefits. New York City nov. Ice firefighters earn proba. tionary pay of $22,000 a year plus fringe benefits; after three years, they will receive $25,000 a year. For the typical firefighter candidate, usually e. a high-school graduate, that is good pay; for a woman nor. mally facing comparatively low-paying clerical work, it looks even better. Lieutenant Beers likes the Personal dividends as well. Her upper body strength, she says proudly, has improved to the extent that she can pin her high-school sweetheart, who is taller and heavier than she. From her regulation cropped haircut down to the spit -and -polish, department. issue black shoes, she Is the firefighter she hoped she would be. Is she, though, the fire- fighter the city hoped for? Can she, at her peak, perform as well as a man? Chief Swartout answers with a crusader's glint in his eye. "Obviously, the women can never be as strong as some men. But we also have some men who are not as stmng as our weakest woman." Driv- ing home his point, he an. nounces, "I'd take any six women in this department and go out with them on a six - person crew with complete confidence." Keeping the women fit is the province of Karl Kaiyala, who administers the physical part of a pretraining program designed by Dr. T. Lee Doolit- tle, a physiologist at the Unt. versity of Washington. Kaiya. la, who zealously carries out his duties, darts among the Seattle recruits, dodging wobbly ladders and snaking hose, snapping photographs of muscles at work so he can see exactly who uses what to move which pieces of equip- ment. He figures the best way to counter what he calls the "garbage" of sexual dis. crimination is with scientific fact. To that end, he is devel. oping an empirical set of standards that will specify the kind of person who can, or cannot, fight fires. As he sees it, the Issue boils down to "the size of the en. gine." Since firefighting equipment Is heavy, a strong person is essential. From the evidence Kaiyala has gath- ered, a lean body mass— the weight of muscle, bone, or- gans, blood and tendon, body 111CROlILI-TO LY JORM MICROLAI3 CCOAlt RATIOS • DCS T)1r1C5 fat not included — of 120 pounds is a minimum. Since the average woman is about 27 percent fat, the ideal can. didate should weigh at least 160 pounds, he says. Beyond that she needs to be "unusu- ally strong" and willing to work to get stronger. "I consider how to choose, a very simple issue if you're ob- jective," says Kaiyala. "It's very complicated only if you'resexist.... "Your path is clear. You look for big, strong women and build them up to be stronger, so they can ad- equately lift, move and manipulate firefighting equipment." Seattle spent more than $5,000 getting Barbara Beers into shape for Its prerecruit program. In fiscal 1992, the department will be spending $125,000 to groom women for firefighting; each female firefighter — and each drop- out — will cost Seattle up to $10,000. Yet the fire depart- ment is committed to spend - Ing the money, given the al- ternative. "When we set up the pretraining program, the union complained that we could have spent the money on salaries; ' says Capt. Rich- ard Swartout, the chief's younger brother and for- merly in charge of a recruit class. "If we hadn't, we would have ended up spend- ing it In the courts." New York City will have spent a couple of million dol- lars on its lawsuit, by the time both sides' costs and fees and possible back pay are tabulated, according to the Corporation Counsel Norma Kerlin, To New York City Personnel Director Juan U. Ortiz, the judgment and accompanying financial pen- alties are misguided. He sug- gests that women have chosen an inappropriate tar- get in their fight for equal rights. Ortiz believes Test 3040 should not have been revised to accommodate people un- able to pass It. "What is the responsibility of the Depart- ment of Personnel?" he asks. 1�0(o J r "Is it to make sure women arc on the force? Or is it to came up with a test that best measures what you need to do the job? The fact that the re - suit is that there are few women — or no women — means that that is what the job requires, unfortunately." Yet New York failed on both counts. Not only did it Inadvertently exclude women from the fire service, but Test 3010 did not stand up as an adequate measure of any- one's firefighting skills, male or female. What it did demon. strate during court proceed- ings, was that some women could perform feats thought to be masculine, and that some veteran fireman could not perform basic test re- quirements. Test :IMO also showed, among other things, that courtroom proceedings ran be entertaining. To prove that certain tests were not job-re- lated, the women plaintiffs' counsel, Robert T. King, a lawyer for Debevoise i Plimpton, and Laura Sager, a lawyer with the Women's Rights Clinic of Washington Square Legal Services Inc., an umbrella group for clini- cal legal education at the New York University School of Law, produced Chicago's Ione woman firefighter, Lauren Howard, who stated under oath that she was un- able to lift the 120 -pound cylindrical test dummy used by the New York City Fire Department. She then left the stand and slung the 18D -pound King across her shoulders. Lawyers for both sides still dispute whether she "hoisted him," as the plaintiffs con- tend, or "couldn't get her knees locked," as the defense claims. Nonetheless, her per- formance satisfied Federal District Court Judge Charles P. Slfton who ruled that the tests had little connection to the daily demands of the job: A woman's inability to pass them did not necessarily indi. cate an inability to perform as a firefighter. Judge Siflon's decision also cited examples of uninten. tional discrimination. Women had performed poorly using a dvnamometer, a viselike in. L striment that tests hand strength. But test monitors had failed to adjust the in- strument to the individual candidate's hand size, plac. ing most women at a disad- vantage. The judgment was only the beginning of the city's woes. The women plaintiffs, the city and the firemen's union ate in a litigious frame of mind. During the trial, all three par- ties had a list of hypothetical, unsatisfactory scenarios that could, and did, send them back into court with a motion or an appeal. Even now there is talk of challenges, and more appeals and more law suits. Still, other cities have man. aged to incorporate women into the fire service without compromising their test procedures, without exten- sive intervention from the courts and without Investing as much time and money as Seattle has. When Dallas faced a lawsuit in the late 1970's, the city came to an agreement with a Justice De- partment representative on a fair test, instituted an infor. mational program for pro- spective applicants who wanted to know which physi. cal skills would be stressed on the job, and ended up with 11 women on a firefighting force of 1,320. The Dallas Fire De- partment says that standards have not been lowered, nor has it been disappointed. Assistant Chief of Emer. gency Operations Michael Freeman says simply: "we've had no problems. The women have never been cited for inefficiency or cowardice or inability." They have never been cited for excep- tional valor, either, but, he believes, "It's just a matter of time." By choosing to defend Its lest In a court challenge, New York gambled and lost. But some of the women who sued became casualties of time. Btmda Berkman, 30, who first filed the class-action suit, took the eligibility test in 1978 and failed, only to spend another four, desk -bound years waiting for the dect. sion. In the interim, she en- rolled in the New York Uni. versity School of Law, and now specializes in immigra- tion law. When the rede. signed tests were given, she chose to take them and was the first woman to pass. Now, she says, she must decide whether to leave her job for firefighting. In contrast to the old test that Included. In addition to the dynamometer and dummy, a broad jump and a mile run, Miss Berkman and other women candidates took a revised exam that required them to drag a 50 -foot, 80 - pound length of hose for 145 feet; carry a I6 -pound folded length of hose on a shoulder from a building entrance up four nights of stairs and pull a 145 -pound dummy con- structed with arms and legs along a marked path, among otherthings. Although New York City, at this point, has no plans for a permanent pretraining pro- gram, such as Seattle's, and Is sticking to a strict rank - order hiring policy, Fire Commissioner Charles J. Hynes knew that women would join the force this year. He has been out among his troops to prepare them. "I go around to the firehouses and talk to them as a lawyer to a client," he says. "I say, 'Look. Reality is with us. You can't expect L`c tests your fa- ther took, or your uncle took, to stick. The courts won't stand for it. You've got to join the 20th century and under- stand the direction of the courts."' The rank -and -file members of the department — vari. ously referred to as "the last Boy Scouts," "the brother- hood" and "the fraternity" — will have to accept working side by side with women in emergency, life-threatening situations. They will have to learn to trust their female colleague's ability, whether she is pulling dnwn pieces of burning telling or dragging an Injured victim or co- worker m safety. For many, it is a difficult leap of faith. The traditionut I11CROr ILIfED Ur JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DCS :401:IES heroic figure has been a fire- man, with the emphasis on gender as essential as the em. phasis on good work. "It's a tradition," says Commis- sioner Hynes. "Women don't go to war and women don't fight fires — that's the way it's regarded. And that's the key to the place of women In firefighting across the Coun- try. It's attitudinal.... Fim- fighters hre the last bastion of something that used to be called chivalry, and Is now called chauvinism." With some cause. There are firefighters, like Deputy Commissioner Arthur Herd- zik of Buffalo, who simply re- gard the notion of an equally qualified woman as a Contra- diction in terms. His consid. ered philosophy is: "I just don't think the girls can do If working with women is a shock, living with them In the - firehause adds to the stress. Although New York City has not set a formal policy on how it will adapt its facilities, it may follow the example of de- partments around the coun- try that settled for locks on bathroom doors and, if an in- dividual insists, partidom in the sleeping area. The atti- tude is that equal workers get equal treatment. In turn, wives and women friends loudly and angrily ex. press their concern for the men's safety fighting fires. Given We dormitory sleeping arrangements, they also worry about continued fideli- ty. When women candidates receive special attention, many firemen have to ask themselves: If a member of the "weaker" sex can be trained to be a firefighter, how elevated and noble a call. Ing can it be? The once exclu- sively male fantasy of being a hero dies hard, and not with. out resentment. Even Seattle, which avoided all the legal pitfalls, has Its share of atti. tudinal difficulties. Swariout 104 1 J r V relieved that Als depa Ment Is finally atttac women recruits who do requilre the paid pretrahuin program, since he believes that the women who need "a lot of upfront help" car ried "a stigma" when they joined the force. Lieutenant Been has run the gantlet of psychological Problems. from the early de. Partment parties where pe ,pie asked her mean, not her, which firehouse he worked at, to the scurrying among co• workers to "hide the girlle magazines In desk drawers Instead of leaving Nem lying around. as if I cared what they look at." More fm trat. ing, she says. is "always being on the line," being watched for the smallest mit,. take. "I can do the job. That's no problem. But I get sick of the battering from every new Person I meet. Having M ex. plain and prove myself is wearing. It smooths you down.'. One man asked for a trans. fer soon after Barbara Beers was assigned to his station. Others have accepted her Presence. but grudgingly so. "These guys don't like having women around here," sbe says. "They accept it. But, In general, they'd rather not have us around, rather not have to deal with it. I don't want to give the impression that I'm hated. But I'm not loved either." Matters worsened when she waa promoted nine months ago, a move that, according to one firefighter, "sent shock waves through the depart. ment." Under normal cir. cumstanees, Chief Swartout can hire or promote anyone who scares within the top quarter of all eligible candl. dates. He also has a eityman, dated power of selective cer. tification, which means he can hire and promote an eligl. ble candidate "anyplace off the list." About 10 percent of the firefighters who took the lieutenant's test passed It. Of those 110, Barbara Been ranked 129.' Swartout promoted her over the heads, and objec. tions, of men who scored higher. He readily admit, she L. rt. was promoted because she is ting a woman. But if she is a trot token, he believes she is a g completely competent one. "The exam cannot be the only M criterion," he contends. Still, many of his men re. main adamantly unconvinced of the abilities of women fim fighters. One fireman says there Is "passive resistance throughout the department - to working with women. Fire lighten Personally affected by Seattle's aggressive policy are even mote militant In their objections. Jack Rand. all is a 13 -year veteran who ranked 108 on that same test. "We're talking about lives and property in danger, not Politics," he says. "You used to be hired and promoted be- cause of your ability. I think people should have the best. Just like if you go in for brain surgery, you want the best, not number 112 in the class who got into the operating mom because she's a woman." Lieut. Mike Johnson echoes the sentiment, saying, "The only ones who are getting favors are women and mi. noritles." Others say that in the drpartmeht's fervent quest for a force with a good ethnic and sexual mix, it may be practicing reverse dis- crimination. In his defense, Swartout notes that he has promoted "majority males" via selec. tive certification, all the way up to a battalion chief, who sorted lower than the top 25 Percent on a written test but who had years of experience in emergency medical serv. ice, and who was Judged mast Competent to head that divi. sion. True, Lieutenant Ben's only unique "quail. fication" for being selectively certified was her sex, but Swartout was satisfied with her overall performance, and believes that sex, right now, Is reason enough to make her the department's first female officer. Nor Is this merely the chef's personal commitment to affirmative action speak. ing. His reports from Lieuten• ant Beers's superiors, before and since the promotion, have all been positive. "The fire departments In the 60's had bricks thrown at Nem, guns fired at them, and that never would have hap. petted if we'd had a reason. able mix," he says. "We were Nen regarded as part of the system, and we'd never demonstrated anything dif. fetent than that. How many blacks did you see driving around in a fire engine? One. How many women? None. We're not going to be an all. male bastion forever. it Just shouldn't happen." However, firefighting traditionally has been a male stronghold, and the Issue, be- yond the specifics of any en. trance exam, is how far a city is willing to go to gain entry for women. Dennis Smith, re. tired firefighter, editor of Firehouse magazine and au. thor of "Report From Engine Co. 82," charges New York with the benign neglect of women. Although he no longer sees the active dls. crimination he once wit. nessed against minorities when he was fighting fires in the South Bronx in the late 1980's, he does believe that "no one In the Department of Personnel cares" whether women are incorporated into the force. This indifference poses a serious obstacle for women. With the failure of the equal rights amendment, the can. troversy over where women can appropriately expect equal treatment and what constitutes an equal oppor. malty is renewed. Fated with budget cutbacks and a more conservative political cll. mate, cities are not as Inter. ested as they were five years ago In the argument that a woman can be made equal with a little preparation. Despite the bureaucratic resistance and the hostility of many firemen, women have proved to themselves, if not yet to their colleagues, that they can fight fires alongside men Now they face the longer battle to be respected as equals, a concept not easily tolerated by men who chose a career with a high male•su. Periority quotient. Accepting women as professional peen represents a sizable chink in the hero's armor. Although firemen have no way to pre• 141CRUILVIED 61' JORM MICROLAS CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 7 vent women from Joining the force, they can, and do, pre. vent women from feeling at ease there. It has always been clear that women who want to fight fires must be ex. Imordinarily, strong. What is now becoming just as clear Is that they must be deter- mined. Firefighting, for women, is more than a test of physical strength and endur. ante; it is a psychological marathon as well. ■ S nl T lU TH F S I 2 y4 S' L 78AM-Ma istrate C BAM-Magistrate LOAM -Staff Meeting Court (Chambers) Court (Chambers) (Conf Room) 3PM-Goal Setting 4:30PM-Informal 3PM-Waste Water Session, Council & Dept.
