While the user may enjoy the convenience of such passes, a number of concerns should be addressed by the City Council before any decisions are made. Probably the largest benefit to the City with multi -month passes is receiving the revenue up front regardless of how often the pass is used. Perhaps there could be some reduction in bookkeeping tasks each month since fewer would be sold on a monthly basis. Some of the concerns we have with multi -month passes are: 1. Counterfeiting. As the pass becomes more valuable the incentive to counterfeit them increases, f 2. Fare Increases. If for instance six month passes were sold, it would be very difficult to alter the fare structure during that period. 3. Lost Passes. The City could not be responsible for replacing lost or stolen passes. 4. Sales Outlets. The City must be careful not to place too many administrative tasks on our sales outlets by selling a variety of passes since the outlets currently are providing this service at no cost. If the City Council deems multi -month passes advantageous I would suggest that instead of one multi -month pass, a booklet of tear out passes for each month be sold. Under this arrangement the tear out pass could be identical to that particular month's regular pass eliminating any confusion the transit drivers might have with identification. Also with a booklet of passes the incentive for counterfeiting would decrease and a patron would only be out one month's pass if they happen to lose it. Do not hesitate to contact me should you desire any additional information. cc: Hugh Mose Don Schmeiser bj4/7 j MICROFILMED BY 'JORM MICRO_ LAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES L.,. 337 �G r-. parks & recreation department MEMO P to: Mayor and City Council from.

One of these alternatives is already in use. It is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). CNG has been in use in the U.S. for the past 10 years and for the past 40 years in other countries. CNG will soon be in use here in Iowa City. CNG is the same thing as the natural gas that is used to heat many homes, but is compressed so that it may fit in two small cylinders which are placed in the trunk of the car. How does it work? Simply take one regular gasoline powered car, place two CNG cylinders into trunk, install system that connects cylinders to engine, and then fill up cylinders with CNG from the storage tank. The two cylinders together hold the equivalent of five gallons of gasoline, enough to go approximately 60 miles. Fill up takes about five minutes. There are many benefits for using CNG: Safety. If one of the tanks should be punctured, it won't create a gas puddle because natural gas is lighter than air. Since it has an ignition temperature that is higher than gasoline - 300 degrees higher than gasoline - it won't explode as readily. 2. Performance. A car runs as efficiently on CNG as on gasoline. Since CNG is already in gaseous form it is easier to start the car in cold weather than a car on gasoline, which needs to transform the gasoline to the gaseous state. CONTINUED.., GOOD JOB REC CENTER! Everyday one hears news updates and debates over the scarcity and rising price of energy. Some people wonder where it is all going to and. Others take action to begin cutting down on their energy use and costs. The Recreation Center has been taking such steps after following recommendations made to thee) by the Energy Program Coordinator. The Recreation Center has completed twelve energy conserving projects which were not difficult to carry out. For example, seven worn valves that control the supply of hot water to the heating coils in the air handling units, were replaced. Other projects like lowering the boiler water temperature which heats the pool, weather stripping windows and doors, and simply fixing drippy faucets have resulted in a reduction of energy wastes. An important contribution to additional energy saving is their compliance with the Federal Temperature Restrictions. So far, approximately $3,000 has been invested in .these projects but already a 12% reduction in energy use has been determined. This will save about $4,393.00 per year at current prices. Energy Conservation Program, 410E. Washington, IM City, Iowa 52240 1.3191 354-1800 339 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110111ES ENERGY SAVE,. news CNG... 3. Environmentally sound. CNG is clean burning and reduces auto emission pollution. 4. Less expensive in particular instances. The cost of CNG as compared to an equivalent gallon of gasoline is $0.41. However, the cost to implement such a system is $65,000. phis includes the compressor, storage tanks, and the installation of the system in a car. For use of CNG to pay off, it must be used by a fleet of vehicles that travel alot of miles in a small area so that they have access to CNG storage tanks to fill up on everyday. Delivery vehicles, public transit, and police fleets are examples of who could use such a system. Iowa City recently bought the equipment necessary to convert 18 City vehicles to CNG. Ten of those vehicles are police cars and eight are crew trucks for the street and traffic divisions. The factor that enticed the City to try the project is the money it can save. After a 21 month pay back period, the use of CNG by these 18 vehicles will save $35,850 per year at current prices. The 'equipment has been installed on one car and hopefully all 18 vehicles will be running on CNG soon. The one car that is equipped, Police Chief Miller's, has been running on CNG for testing purposes. Chief Miller feels that although the car seems to have less power than a gasoline powered car, it seems to function fine based upon what experience we have had with it so far. RECYCLE THAT PAPER! Hi! My name is Perry Papier and I am the piece of paper you are holding. On behalf of myself, and all my fellow sheets, I would like to say we are very proud of what we are able to do. We provide information, pleasure, and an excellent medium for the pen. However, people think that once we serve our purpose of being read, scribbled on, and tossed around as airplanes, we should be sent to the local landfill. Let me tell you, even though we may look all used up, we still have much life within us. So, do us and our parent trees a favor, recycle US. The Civic Center has four big barrels to fill up with all kinds of paper, everything from computer cards to typing paper, -(except for magazines and phone books). City Carton Company picks up the paper and recycles it. One barrel is located at the information desk in the lobby, and three are in the print shop in the basement. Just start, stacking aside all your used paper and put the stacks in a barrel. If the Civic Center is not in a convenient location, a suggestion would be to set up a recycle -basket in your building and when a person from your building goes to the Civic Center they can bring the paper with them. Help save paper now, its not a limitless resource. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES L_'. Page 2 KEEP THOSE CALLS, CARDS AND LETTERS POURING IN Following last month's newsletter, we received a call concerning the suggestion to turn furnace pilot lights off. The concern expressed was that condensation collects in the furnace flue during the summer - especially on house trailers with short stacks. The person had neighbors who had not left their pilots on and had to replace their furnaces because they rusted out in about three years. The caller has always left the furnace pilot light on and the furnace is still in good condition after ten years. A call to the Service Department of Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric verified the following. One of the combustion products is moisture. With only the pilot light on, the combustion gas cools off enough that the moisture will condense out even during the summer. Therefore, the condensation and rust, in the trailer furnaces, must be due to some other cause. The problem may be a lack of or inadequate ventilation in the bathroom or the kitchen. We welcome input from any other person having firsthand experience with this type of a problem. Plant deciduous trees and vines to let the sun enter your house In the winter and to provide shade in the summer. L.,. It, Facu Ity By Rod Nanostnan Staft Wrlter The Faculty Senate voted Tuesday to reaffirm a position taken last month by the Faculty Council not to allow direct solicitation of UI employees by the Un- ited Way. The Faculty Council, an executive branch of the senate, denied the charity organization its request to solicit Ul employees during the work- day. The vote by the senate reaffirms the council's decision. Direct solicitation on -campus would mean that department heads, faculty votes no to. solicitation or staff members would collect for a charily during working hours. A resolution passed by the council said: "Direct, on -campus solicitation by non-profit, charitable, off -campus organiations Is not acceptable. "However, the Faculty Coucil sup- ports arid -encourages faculty involve. trial in off -campus solicitation of faculty members and requests that the university cooperate with those in- dividuals by doing such things as providing lists of names." LEODIS DAVIS, president of the council and senate, said that he plans to meet with the board of directors of United Way and explain the faculty's position. 'Don Winter, president' of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees focal 12, sent's letter to Davis and the council applauding their stand on the issue, since It will also affect UI staff mem- bers in the union. "We support the United Way 100 per- cent;" Winter said. "We know they're having problems raising funds, but we just don't think that peer pressure should be used to solicit funds." Winter said United Way has access to campus mail and can send donation cards to faculty and staff members. IN OTHER action Tuesday, the faculty senate voted unanimously to recommend to Randall Beranson, UI vice president for finance, that Campus Security officers not be allowed to carry weapons. The recommendation was made in response to a request by Beranson for faculty input on the issue. Beranson has been seeking opinions from the faculty, staff and students on whether campus security officers should carry guns. The Faculty Council decided not to make a recommendation early In the fall semester. 'United Way raised $270,000 in 1980 By Theresa Erles Slaty writer United Way of Johnson County will fall about $37,000 short of its 1910 fun- draising goal of $303,225, according to fundraising co-chairman Marvin Hartwig. Pledges W{d contributions exceeded $1170,000. "It's the bat we've ever done," Hartwig said. "Il may have In - creased a wee bit by today." Ibis years fundraising goal was set 20 percent higher than the $240,000 collected in 1979, said Tom Baldridge, executive secretary for United Way of Johnson County. Although the .organisation raised 10 percent more in , 1990 than in 1979, it is still 10 percent abort of its pont, Baldridge said. The 1990 fund raising drivd ends Thursday. the need for funds may be part of the reason the group's fundraising goal will not be reached, Baldridge said. The goal was "based on what we thought the agencies needed" for their budgets instead of wh5t volunteers thought could be raised N the com- munity, he said ALTHOUGH sane United Way staff and volanteers questioned whether A different method of determining setting a goal 2D percent higher than MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES last year's was "being fair with the community," they decided to "go with the. most realistic figure, that ex- pressed the needs of the community," Raldridge said.

The money. raised since then will. go Into an unallocated reserve, providift "a small cushion for agencies that may get into Bial difficulty" Baldridge said.

MICROFILMED BY 'JORM MICROLAB CEOAR RAPIDS•OES MOINES Lr 0 V_ DISCUSSION OF DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CITY ATTORNEY The job description for the City Attorney's position only hints at the duties and responsibilities of the City Attorney. The City Attorney administers an office which presently consists of three full-time Assistant City Attorneys as well as clerical help and from time to time law clerks. This job involves careful supervision of the work of this staff, consultations with staff on problems as they arise as well as dealing with the various personnel problems that are inherent in any organization. As the person responsible for the "care and feeding" of the Legal Department the City Attorney must see to it that proper support is provided to the Legal Department. In times like the present with cooperative and sympathetic administrative personnel as well as Council members this task is not diffi- cult. In times unlike these the task can be quite difficult. The City Attorney handles litigation on behalf of the City and supervises the work of the Assistant City Attorneys who are also handling litigation for the City. Typically the City of Iowa City will have between 30 and 40 cases pending at any one time in the state trial courts, appellate courts and federal courts. This number does not include the large number of misdemeanor prosecutions handled monthly by the City Attorney's office. This heavy case load requires constant attention by the City Attorney and Assistant City Attorneys. It is important for the City Attorney and legal staff to be able to resist the day to day demands for legal services by City staff and others when necessary in order to in thelpastgtherenhasmbeenant morelelitigation alworkatoedo thantimeand personnel to do it in, at least within the schedule that one would like, and therefore juggling of priorities is con- stantly a problem demanding the attention of the City Attorney. The City Attorney himself or herself need not handle all of the litigation by any means. Indeed I have found le delegate significant amounts important le of litigation work to the legal. staff. I have followed a practice of designating one attorney in the office as the attorney responsible for any particular file or case so that responsibility for each case is clearly outlined. Generally I have not attempted to carefully monitor each specific step taken by the legal staff in each case handled by them. There is simply not enough time available to do that even under the best of circumstances. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Vl- L.'. - 2 - Rather, I have attempted to serve as a resource person when questions concerning cases would arise and have found it important to impose an over-all supervisory overview on the conduct of all litigation particularly where the litigation involves matters of particular sensitivity or interest to the Council or City administration. Some cases involve quasi political issues which demand the attention of the City Attorney even when the case itself is handled by an Assistant City Attorney. Assistant City Attorneys are told early on in their jobs that they will be delegated important cases and they will be expected to handle those cases com- petently and thoroughly. In part this approach has been followed because of the limited resources available to the office and in part is a general reflection of my philosophy concerning delegation of work. I am pleased to say that with few exceptions this policy has worked well and it has been particularly helpful in attracting able and bright attorneys to the office. Oftentimes the City Attorney must spend considerable time counseling with members of the City Council concerning City legal matters. The amount of time actually spent depends upon the style of each Council. At present consul- tations with individual Council members are infrequent. In the past there has been much greater frequency. Great care must be taken in consultation with any individual member of the Council to avoid partisanship on any political issue and to avoid becoming involved in any political by-play going on in the Council. On the other hand the City Attorney must not be afraid of stating his or her position forcefully and clearly to individual Council members as well as to the Council as a group on sensitive issues that have legal overtones. Indeed, one of the most important responsibilities of the City Attorney is to provide a general legal counseling service to the City Council. The City Attorney is respon- sible to the municipal corporation, that is to the public of Iowa City as a whole. That municipal corporation acts through its City Council but the City Attorney must not fear or neglect to state clearly his or her position con- cerning planned Council action even if such statements incur the displeasure of the Council. one of the important reasons for the policy of having a City Attorney who is a regular practicing attorney and who is not employed full- time by the City of Iowa City is to assure a degree of independence and thus objectivity in this important legal counseling function. While attempting at all times to cooperate with the Council and with the City administration MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 3 �3 - 3 - to the greatest degree possible the City Attorney must not be afraid to stand uo for his or her position on important legal issues. Often these legal issues have political or Policy overtones. Sometimes they are controversial and accompanied by considerable public pressure. The City Attorney must be able to resist that pressure. While the City Attorney is not hired by the City Manager and is not responsible directly to the City Manager rather being co -equally responsible to the City Council I have followed a policy of attempting the greatest degree of cooperation with the City Manager as possible consistent with the over-all duties of office. I highly commend that Policy to my successor. If the City of Iowa City is to ful- fill its important governmental functions, it is crucial that the City Manager have the utmost confidence and trust in the City Attorney. He or she must feel that the City Attorney can be consulted on a legal problem or a problem concerning the legal staff and that the City Attorney will treat the matter with the utmost discretion. The City Manager must have confidence in the legal ability and advice of the City Attorney. Oftentimes legal advice carries a high degree of judgmental input and it is very important that the City Manager have confidence in the judgment or judgmental input of the City Attorney. I have attempted wherever possible to allow the City Manager to establish priorities for Legal Department work. Since the City Manager is responsible for the over-all administration of the City and is the officer to whom the Council turns to see to it that its policies and initiatives are executed, it is important that the City Manager have the full support of the Legal Department in carrying these policies out. Therefore work with the City Manager on establishment of priorities is important. It is also important, I think, that the City Attorney be a person who can accept not being listened to. On many occasions that I can recall my advice has not been followed by the City Council or -the City Manager. I think the City Attorney has the responsibility to give legal advice. He or she does not have the responsibility to dictate a particular decision, particularly in areas involving over- all political or administrative policy. Therefore the City Attorney should not hesitate to give advice when requested or, if not requested, when appropriate but should not be unduly upset if that advice is not always followed. Along the same line, it is important I believe to survival in this office that the City Attorney not become involved as a partisan in City policy issues. It is very tempting to 49Q MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES L:i L,r -a- become involved in City policy making in non -legal areas. After all the City Attorney has the car of the City Council, the City Manager and other City staff members. All City Attorneys, being human, have opinions and although occasional expression of those opinions in a casual fashion is certainly harmless partisanship and involvement in City policy issues by the City Attorney is, I think, very counter-productive. The City Attorney's position is a fascinating and exciting one. It provides an opportunity for a lawyer to fill the highest responsibilities of the profession and to engage in legal counseling that will have a significant impact on the community. An effective and able City Attorney and Legal Department can significantly assist the city government of Iowa City in providing the services and programs needed by the community. j MICROFILMED BY 'JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES'MOINES ■ � rl CITY OF IOWA CITY CIVIC: CEN(ER 410 E. WASHINGTON ST. IOWA CITY IOWA 52.240 (31913, 4.IRC:Q) NEWS RELEASE March 6, 1981 Following a noon meeting in executive session of the Iowa City City Council on Friday, March 6, 1981, the City announced that it will accept the recommendations of the fact -finder in their entirety relative to current contract negotiations with the Iowa City Police Patrolmen's Association. It is the City's position that the procedure was conducted fairly by the fact -finder and that both the City and the Association were given adequate opportunity to present their respective views to an impartial third party. While the recommendations of the fact -finder are not completely satisfactory to the City, it is willing to make the necessary concessions in order to reach agreement with the Association. The City declined comment on the specific terms of the fact -finder's recommendations, but will be prepared to discuss these either if a settle- ment based upon these recommendations is reached, or upon their being made public by the Iowa Public Employee Relations Board, as State law provides, if agreement is not reached within ten days. From: Administrative Offices MICROFILMED BY 'JORM MICROLAB ,CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: March 4, 1981 To: Neal Berlin, City Manager From: James Brachtel, Traffic Engineer Re: Parking on Village Road The intent of this memorandum is to detail the events which lead to the removal of parking from both sides of Village Road. Additionally, it will suggest certain alternatives which Council may wish to consider and implement. BACKGROUND INFORMATION As the various parts of the Village Green additions to the City of Iowa City have come into and been accepted by the City, Village Road has consistently been designated as a neighborhood collector. On all plats this collector' street has been allowed to be built at less than collector street width standards. It is my understanding that this departure from City standards was permitted because the developer insured that home sites adjacent to the collector street would have sufficient off-street parking such that on -street parking would not be necessary. Section 23-7(b) of the Iowa City Code details required action when exceptions to the City's subdivision pavement width requirements are made. Specifically, the Code states "Upon approval of the final plat and a subdivision containing twenty-two (22) feet of residential streets, parking on both sides of such streets shall be prohibited and appropriate signs designating same shall be posted by the city." This section of the Code refers directly to residential streets, but it recognizes the general case difficulties of substandard pavement width. These difficulties become aggravated when collector streets are built to substandard widths. In December of 1980 the Traffic Engineering Division received complaints from residents of the area. The complaint indicated difficulty maneuvering on Village Road due to on -street parking. These complaints were centered around parking principally in the area of multiple family residences along Village Road. The Traffic Engineering Division at that time implemented the removal of parking from Village Road. Since this removal has been installed, a number of other residents from the area have come in requesting that it be replaced. ALTERNATE ACTIONS 1. The City Council may choose to direct the installation of parking on one side of the street only. This would provide a certain amount of on -street storage for those residents who feel the need for it. 345 MICROFILMED BY 'JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES �1 ?• City Council may choose to permit parking along certain portions of Village Road. Specifically these portions would be areas where the road is not presently functioning as a collector. Traffic Engineering would suggest areas of the road east of Village Green Boulevard and south of Dunuggan Court. Then as additional parts of Village Green Addition come into the City, the prohibition can be extended along the length of Village Road. The Council could choose the number of dwelling units served as a criteria for moving the prohibition around Village Road, Presently, Planning & Program Development uses the number of 23 dwelling units as the maximum number of dwelling units on a cul-de-sac. This proposed criteria would be consistent with existing Code requirements. 3. file third option available to Council would be to permit the prohibitions as posted stand. MEINOD OF IMPLf.MEN1AH ON The City Council can at any of its formal meetings pass a motion directing the Traffic Engineer to take any of the actions noted above. The City Council may if it selects get another alternate, direct its implementation by its own motion at a formal meeting. The Traffic Engineering Division stands ready to implement any action which the City Council would direct. I will be happy to meet with you or the City Council to discuss this matter further and am presently awaiting any direction which your office might be able to provide. tp5/5 30-S i MICROFILMED BY 'JORM MICROLAB :CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES V:_ In �/ "' L7v LVZ] ) 11 p R > 3l0 l40 e.o � 22. ° Jpy '.9 ° 1° Lr0 !90 /'•it h ° / � � .i i.10 `P' O. 6 d 1Y S r 7 B o$ ^.¢ k:,2 �b. 9 .97P�Zo°l% Z 982 -G/0 97 33 kop s ,e 340 0 oma/ o4e `°° Un 9 111 SD O o V PART 0 Lr 36 0 p m ,4 rO_ o L V n L •C \` 9/ \ °O nao Oa ° 22 N 1, a°°` 7 sb 80 40- N�0 5G ea Bay . ,0 R " 0AD 9-6 j2 //2 g 111 8 Il0 s- T J QjG PP5 G '' X93 I/3 'o So so & ser'` a e„° 49ti S rc G E sJ °` SDP ���° q'e'r 9/ ° ll4 'P PART 7 Qv�P a. 4 0 L'p _ n1 8 ')4eJ N�0 , 1 0 5� r I� ` 2,p 6 //!oU 0 .pa ,�° S�o �I o'O4 • iP �'�p^1 fel• S g n//Jr n° l0'G �/V'P �1 8 � 50° °t• -i� 8 -Ci no °o ,—'s,iil pPi.. o 89 2 eJ y° ^ trios ? so��y d 88ti'. o /l% 60dv �Opp, y"87 ° 0 75 7.

Washington Street Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Mayor Balmer: In response to your request for an update regarding anticipated changes in the development schedule for Highway 518 in the Iowa City area, I would provide the following information. While the Department continues to evaluate its program experience, including both experience with costs through our contracting program and income to the primary road fund, I can report to you that we currently anticipate no change in the projected schedule for the Iowa City Highway 518 project. The project remains a priority within the Department's Five -Year Capital Improvement Program planning and has not been identified as subject to any deferrals or slippage. The Transportation Commission recognized its comuitment to this project and the high priority of the project in advancing its completion in the program at the time it was adopted in December, 1980. As the Department's Five -Year Program was developed with provisions for anticipated cost increases and income losses, we are currently able to maintain the planned schedule for the project. I trust this satisfactorily responds to your inquiry. If you have any further concerns, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, aymond L.

Miller, Police Chief RE: School Buses DATE: February 25, 1981 I thought I had responded to these issues in regard to school buses, but perhaps not. It might have been a report occasioned. by a citizen's letter complaining that an officer failed to cite a motorist that passed a stopped school bus. In that instance the officer advised me that the..stop arm had been retracted and the red lights switched'to,amber prior to the motorist proceeding.around the bus. Lou Negus, owner and operator of the Iowa City school buses, routinely advises his drivers of correct procedures when loading and unloading school children. Problems arise, in my opinion, because the operators of the buses have many mechanical functions to perform in an effort to comply with 321.372, Code of Iowa in regard to discharging passengers. Distance must be mentally computed, traffic flow conditions considered; safety of passengers considered; proper and safe operation of a moving vehicle taken into account; proper tim- ing of light switching and stop -arm extension and retraction effected; and manual signal given to the children crossing in front of the bus to proceed or to motorists to proceed past the bus in a regular traffic flow. In my opinion, and it is generally shared by the Iowa City Police Department officers if not by some citizens, is that the bus operators do an exceptionally fine job considering the functions and operations required to run those monstrous pieces of machinery. In addition, tte level of citizen compliance when the bus is in a legal mode to discharge passengers is, with few -excep- tions, good. There have been occasional violations. In general, these do not seem to be intentional violations but are often due to a combination of factors endemic to motor- ists, bus passengers and bus operators. For instance, lack of motorist and pedestrian's attention to the very real danger created when a bus is discharging passengers upon a travelled way; the time lapse in the sequence of mechanical operations the bus operator must perform to comply with the law; the motorist's perceptions of such timing; real or motorist perceived impressions of the actions and behavior of the bus driver and other motorists have to be considered in any alleged violation. Obviously perception like beauty is in the -eye of the beholder. 3" MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES j The policy of the Iowa City Police Department is to issue citations for those real violations that occur in the presence of the officer. This is the standard commonly accepted by the Courts. In addition, Lou Negus has his drivers report the license plate numbers of alleged violators to us. The De- partment follows up with a phone call to the alleged violator and they are advised of the provisions of 321.372 of the Code and the penalties that may accrue if a citation were to be issu- ed. Quite obviously, the Iowa City Police Department does not have the resources to continuously follow each school bus to insure absolute com- pliance. However, we do make an effort to be in the area when complaints of repeated violations are reported to US. I do not know what else can be done. The regulations established in 321.372, Code of Iowa have been published through news releases to newspapers and broad- cast by the local radio stations. While I view the proper and safe discharge of school bus passengers seriously, I can think of no way to keep them absolutely free of potential danger at all times. In addition, I am absolutely certain that Mr. Negus and the school bus operators are doing everything in their power to ensure the safety of the passengers discharged from stopped school buses, A copy of the appropriate provisions of the Code of Iowa pertaining to the discharge of school bus passengers is attached.

Hencin introduced Kammerer, Wiitala and Laughlin, who represented the project's consulting engineers. The project status was reviewed by Hencin, who pointed out that land acquisition was on schedule and preliminary design underway. A major part of the improvements would be under construction this summer. Laughlin and Wiitala stated that there has been a preliminary discussion of the project with Iowa Natural Resources Council (INRC) staff, who viewed the proposed improvements favorably. 2. North Branch Dam. Chiat reported that the INRC hearing on February 2, 1981 had been attended by City staff and Stanley Consultants. Another hearing will be held March 3, 1981. He said that the Council's concerns about the need for a trash rack and additional flowage easements were addressed by the City at the February 2 hearing. Other concerns, some technical engineering questions and a letter from Bruce Glasgow to the 'INRC, are to be addressed at the March 3 hearing. Members discussed their concern that the INRC might hive the impres- sion that there is no support for the project. Hall suggested, and members agreed, that the Committee should write a letter to INRC in support of the North Branch Dam. Jakobsen suggested that the letter should recognize the financial commitment and support that the City has demonstrated for Ralston Creek. Chairperson Hall will send the letter to INRC on behalf of the Committee. In response to a question on the McLaughlin lawsuit, Chiat stated that trial was set for May or June, 1981; it would be a court test of the validity of the project's environmental review record. In the meantime, the project will proceed as planned. 3. Other Issues. Jakobsen asked if funding was available for other Ralston Creek projects. Chiat and Hencin replied that federal and local monies had been allocated for the North Branch Dam and Lower Ralston Creek improvements at this time.

They are tax-free bonds — authorized by local governments to help finance private investments ranging from new Industrial plants to K - Marts, MacDonald's hamburger stands and fringe shopping centers. Their proliferation — to 58 billion In new issues last year — has caused understandable concern within the Internal Revenue Service. And the Congressional Budget Office has launched a study of the business practices surrounding them. In the face of the reported nationwide abuses, however, this university community of 50,000 people has managed to put these "revenue bonds" to work in the public interest, local officials say. "Iowa City, I feel, has made a conscientious effort to see that the intent of Congress regarding revenue bonding is carried out," says city develop- ment coordinator Larry Chlat. Chlat is overseeing the final stages of urban -renewal redevelopment here. To date, civic leaders note, revenue bonding has helped bring new Indus- try to a Southeast Iowa City industrial park, along with scores of new Jobs and substantial new property -tax revenues. It has aided in the city's renewal effort by giving a boost to businesses moving to a new downtown shopping center next to the University of Iowa campus. And, as Interest rates soar, city officials are hoping that revenue bond - Ing will now help make it possible to successfully auction off the last, small, city -held, urban -renewal parcel, and will help bring to fruition plans for a $15 -million hotel -department store development on another urban renewal tract, also in the heart of the downtown district. The city had originally selected developers for these two parcels along with others for the 13 -acre renewal area, but the City Council later voted to rebid both parcels after the two developers announced they could not proceed with their planned projects under conventional financing. Under the revenue -bonding procedure, cities can issue tax-free bonds that are retired by the businesses themselves — with no outlays from local government. And because bond buyers pay no tax on interest they earn, the cost of borrowing may be substantially reduced for the businesses— by "With commercial ercW interest rates now pest 19 percent," Chlat concedes, "revenue bonding could possibly make the crucial difference In Iowa City, with both the hotel -department store project and redevelopment of the smaller parcel." Chlat and other local officials are keeping their fin- gers crossed, hoping these final pieces will fall Into place to end a politically volatile urban -renewal struggle of nearly two decades. In Iowa, the history of industrial revenue bonding also goes back nearly that far. Unlike other states with more liberal laws allowing Issues for virtually all types of businesses, Iowa's original enabling legislation of the mid40s allowed local governments to issue revenue bonds only for Industrial plan". In 1969, the Iowa City Council was asked to authorize Its first major issue. Thai $4.1 million In bond revenue went for construction of the H.P. Smith Paper Co. In the Industrial park developed by Business Develop- ment Inc.'(BDI), a local, not-for-profit corporation. An entire decade passed before the E.B. & A.C. Whiting Co. also an- nounced plans for a major manufacturing facility and distribution center in the BDI area. The City Council subsequently authorized a second Indus- trial -revenue bond issue of $1.5 million for that broom and brtumiber plant. The year 1979 was another watershed for revenue -bonding In Iowa. That year, the slate's Urban Revitalization Act went Into effect, The act extended the benefits of revenue bonding to commercial enter - prizes — but restricted local governments to approving the bonds only for concerts locating In officially designated urban -renewal areas or This development coincided with the later stages of Iowa City urban renewal, and the City Council soon found on Its doorstep revenue -bonding request from Younkers Department Store. Younkers had been planning a move from an older downtown building Into Old Capitol Center, a 1% -block, enclosed shopping mail anchoring the west end of the renewal area. The firm wanted to borrow $1.6 million through taxdree revenue bonds for fumishing its new, larger quarters. The City Council approved that bond Issue last August, and aeon thereaf- ter the city was called upon to authorize yet another major Issue, this time for a $5.5 million expansion of an existing Thomas & Betts Corporation electronics plant in south Iowa City. Also given the city's nod during this period were up to $12.5 Million in bonds for the newly selected developers of the downtown hotel -department store. These bonds, however, have not yet been Issued because of threa- tened litigation Involving bidders for the project. last September, Iowa City Manager Neal Berlin submitted a memoran- dum to the Council warning that the federal government may be looking Into "new and more stringent controls" on revenue bonding because of national abuses, And he urged adoption of a clear, written, city policy on such bond Issues. In the meantime, more bonding requests were coming in — this time from small, locally -based businesses involved In urban renewal moves. Faced with a fistful) of such requests, Council members began caning for a shortderm moratorium on more Issuos until a written oollev could be MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 35a tAlt applied for re Ove shop i planning to move Into the new shopping center Y -n o �aggo,aaginginsize from $70,000to5175,000,and a downtown hardware store applied for u $15o,DD0lssue for a move into a Penne y's Department Store building that was to be vacated by a planned PenneY's move to the shopping center a block west. By late October, city staff and Council members had worked out a draft of a proposed policy. It was approved unanimously Oct. 21, and those bond issues were all subse- quently authorized. e new der which the issues were roved, is to promote d�Owntown development The policy sets three criteria to be used ts evaluating proposals. Commercial projects financed by bond issues, the policy says, will be evaluated on whether they "create new, or preserve existing, employment opportunties," "increase the city's tax base" and "enhance and strength- en the downtown as the multi-purpose center for Iowa City and the surrounding area." Much of the Council discussion on the policy centered on whether to require bond applicants to seek alternative financing. If the city were to accept only those applicants unable to obtain conventional financing, some members argued, the city would then be put In the position of authorizing financial risks that financial Institutions would not accept. In Its Conventionaroved form l fine cing butoallowseanot now firm toeapplyuire aforprrevenueoseek bond approval with "the brden.., on the applicant to establish that Its proposed project serves the public purposes" described In the policy. A city staff committee is to review requests and make recommendations to the Council. The policy 8130 states that the city will compare the contributions to the tax base that would be made with, and without, revenue -bond financing, and consider the extent that projects will "upgrade deteriorated... struc- tures" and "allow for preservation and restoration of buildings of histori- cal or architectural significance." Following its passage, the policy drew praise both from a local newspa- per and from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. "Using revenue bonds to strengthen downtown is sound policy for Iowa City. "the newspaper editorial commented. "As local government budgets tighten and energy resources shrink, it becomes all the more important that we pursue policies that put development where we want it. And one of our stated goals Is revitalization of our central city In an effort to counter some urban growth trends. These national problems include decline of older commercial districts and residential neighborhoods, and the drain of resources from central cities as families and businesses move to outlying areas. "Urban renewal has been a major thrust toward revitalization of Iowa City's dowtown, where the city's new bond policy applies. Other efforts — including housing Inspection and rehabilitation programs, ..-flood-control Plans and neighborhood site improvement projects — have been mounted to maintain and enhance residential neighborhoods around downtown," the editorial said. , In a letter to city officials, HUD pollcY-pfanning director Donald Dodge also noted "the "strategic relationship to downtown revitalization" impiic- It in the new Iowa City policy.

Though revenue bond issues have been widely applauded locally, they have not been totally without critics. "There are some who suggest that, in the case of urban -renewal redevelopment, they represent a double -sub - aids," said one local official. "There Is already one public subsidy In the land — before revenue bonds are used to finance the redevelopment," he explained, Mother concern Is the competitive advantage revenue bonding gives the favored businesses. This view was presented last July In a letter to city officials from a legal representative of a local organization of hotel, motel and restaurant owners. Members of that group were concerned about proposed revenue bonding for the downtown hotel, and the competition that hotel might offer. "The obvious advantage of industrial bonds would be to furnish the deve- loper with a loan at an Interest rate substantially lower than that being charged by lending Institutions, the organization noted. "This Is a great financial benefit which should save many thousands of dollars and grant the developer a distinct advantage over comp)titian...

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES The by LEE SMITH Not even when its lunar module land- ed on the moon did Grumman Corp. re- ceive as much publicity as it has in recent weeks. The frames of its proud new Flxi- ble buses, like the one at right, began to crack and the buses were taken off the streets of New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles for repairs. "We're going to fix them so well," proclaims Grumman Chairman John C. Bierwirth, who has not lost his sense of humor, "that when the worlds collide the only thing left stand - Ing on earth will be our frames." Could be, but that solves only one prob- lem. The really serious cracks are In the bus industry itself, which until recently seemed on the verge of a comeback For years, as millions deserted public trans- portation for private cars, transit -bus manufacturing was a marginal business, producing only a few thousand vehicles a year, most of them to replace their wom- out predecessors. But the industry had one thing going for it: a very good bus. with millions now forced back to buses by the soaring cost of automobile driv- ing, that bus might have generated re- spectable profits. But after a lengthy and expensive effort by government and industry, the good bus is being sent to,the junkyard. In Its place the country is gelling an attractive but costly and ridiculous urban tank, a bus strong enough to remain intact roll- ing down a mountainside and yet so vul- nerable that It an be crippled by a pothole or shut down by an overworked air con- ditioner. It's also a bus that may never be profitable to manufacture. In this fiasco, there is plenty of blame to go around. One group of culprits in- cludes politicians of the Nixon and Car- ter Administrations, who became too deeply involved in bus designing. Another is a militant clique of handicapped peo- When Gnmman bought Flxible from Rohr In- dustria, the ill-fated 870 bua (right) waa in production.

The industry is culpable, too, for going along with the new -bus concept and—in Grumman's case—for delivering a defective product. A sensible -shoes approach Although hardly glamorous, the tradi- tional American transit bus is an admirable piece of work, capable of withstanding the daily punishment of stop -and -start traffic over broken city streets. In 1959 General Motors intro- duced the New Look bus, and to avoid an- titrust action later agreed to sell compo- nents so that two competitors could make It as well, American Motors and the then independent FIxible Corp. (It's pro- nounced "flexible",- the first a was dropped years ago for trademark reasons.) New Looks are those familiar vehicles that still make up the greatest part of the nation's fleet of 54,508 transit buses (see page 66) and have over the years proved an excellent sensible -shoes kind of trans- portation—sturdy and relatively cheap. Nonetheless, John A. Volpe, Secretary of Transportation in the first Nixon Ad- ministration, ruled that the New Look would have to go. Volpe's department wanted to standardize bus production, so that city transit authorities could no long- er demand custom features that were driv- ing up costs. Since federal grants at that' time paid for two-thirds of each bus—a proportion since increased to four-fifths— that was a reasonable enough argument. A second consideration was dubious, however. The number of bus rides was still declining, from 5.8 billion a year in 1965 to 45 billion in 1972. The depart- ment wanted a pretty bus, to woo people out of their cars. But 1972 was the nadir for ridership, and the subsequent re- bound, to 5.6 billion riders in 1979, sug- gested that wooing wasn't necessary. The department offered the three man- ufacturers about $24 million to start work- ing on prototypes of Its dream vehicle, to be called the Transbus. it soon became ap- parent that Transbus would not be Research auucialt: Edward Haig cheap—that standardization would come at the Cadillac rather than the Chevrolet level. For example, in some cities chil- dren stick their arms and heads out of bus windows and get Injured. Only a few cities have had a serious problem with such recklessness, but everyone would get the extraordinarily expensive solution: all the windows would be permanently sealed. That meant that the slightest mal- function in the air conditioner would send the bus to the repair shop. As Transbus evolved on the drawing board, it ceased being a transportation project and started to become a social project. "The middle class had their cars," But for the politicians and the manufacturers, it could be rumbling along the comeback route. says one participant in the planning. "We were going to do something for the peo- ple we started referring to as the 'yo- phus; the young, old, poor, handicapped, and unemployed." The department Insist- ed on a floor no more than 22 inches from the ground, so old people could get on more easily and so a ramp could be dropped to the curb for wheelchairs to be rolled aboard. Humane Idea though it was, the low floor presented insuperable engineering problems. Even as th three manufacturers produced prototype Transbuses, they were certain the vehicles would not sur- vive in service. The power train and other vitals were so perilously close to the ground they could easily rupture on a bumpy road. Moreover, the manufacturers doubted that they could get Transbus into profuction, One of the realities of transit - bus manufacture is that the volume is so MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES small that suppliers are reluctant to tailor parts. Bus makers settle for axles, tires, and other parts designed primarily for trucks. The low -slung Transbus had to run on very small wheels, -otherwise, the wheel housing would have protruded deeply into the interior. Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. agreed to make a few special tires for the prototypes, but was not in- terested in full-scale production. By July 1976 it was clear that Transbus had broken down, and even many of its promoters in the Transportation Depart- ment were willing to abandon it and look for other solutions. Transit agencies of- fered to provide door-to-door van service to accommodate the handicapped. But several organizations representing the handicapped, whose leaders included vo- cal Vietnam veterans, rejected the idea. They demanded, as a matter of civil rights, to be "mainstreamed" and given access to mass transportation. They pro- tested on the steps of the Capitol and sat in at the department "They'd be wheeled into your office one after another, each successive one in more pitiable shape than the last," says Robert Hermes, who was director of the project in the early 1970s. "it was very effectively arranged." (Hemmes presided over another transpor- tation debacle of the 19709, an enormous- ly expensive monorail for university students at Morgantown, West Virginia.) The politicians gave in. in 1977, Brock Adams, then Secretary of Transportation, ordered that after September 30, 1979, the matching funds be provided only for Transbuses. There was just one hitch: no US. manufacturer would produce them. Adams, furious, tried to find a manufac- turer In Europe. No takers there either. Short people short-changed A costly compromise was worked out. For several years GM had been working on an alternative, the Advanced Design bus. Except for its higher floor, it was much like'Transbus. For the handicapped, GM offered a different solution: equip the bus with an elaborate lift to pick wheel- chairs up from the sidewalk. Although It 3 r3 cnaTi INP o PWo stopped short of endorsing the Advanced Design as the ultimate bus, the depart- ment put out another edict with far-reach- ing consequences: after July 2, 1979, any city that wanted to order a bus without a wheelchair lift would have to pay 100% of the price. Flxible said that it, too, was prepared to make an Advanced Design bus. American Motors had decided to get out of the bus business. GM's Advanced Design bus, called the RTS 11, started coming off the assembly line in Pontiac, Michigan, in 1977. Flxi- ble s version, the 870, began to roll off its line in Delaware, Ohio, in 1978. Both ve- hicles are handsome, with clean lines and smooth sides. But otherwise it is hard to see how they improve the lot of the or- dinary bus rider. Short people are actu- ally worse off on at least some of the Advanced Designs. The rails that standing Grumman welder reinforce an 670's A -frame with extra layers of steel -300 pounds of It.

"It's a difficult market," he admits; "but one way or another the country will find the money to buy buses.' passengers hang on to are higher than those on the New Look buses. The most advanced thing about the Ad- vanced Design buses is the cost of buy- ing and operating them. They sell for close to $150,000, or almost twice.as much as a New Look bus sold for five years ago. In the same period truck prices have ris- en only 40%. The price of the new buses includes no less than $10,000—and as much as $14,000—for that mandatory Wheelchair IifL It generally includes an electronic frill: a $000 to $6,000 com- puter -controlled sign that flashes the bus's destination above the front window. Gas mileage has dropped considerably. With all its extra features the RTS II weighs 3,000 pounds more than the GM New Look Transit authorities In Phila- delphia estimate that a fleet of 298 RTS lie requires an outlay of at least $1 million more a year for fuel than an equiv- alent number of New Look buses. The wheelchair lift alone adds 750 pounds to the weight Lifts art also delicate con- traptions.

Th- driver has to stop the bus and walk to it i rear door to ac- tuate the mechanism with the ignition I MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPT DS -DES MOINES key. Flxible uses a similar system installed in the front steps. It's more efficient, be- cause the driver can operate it from his seat, but also likely to cost more to main- tain. The front right-hand comer tends to be the most banged -up part of a bus. Distressingly few of the handicapped are using the lifts. In Philadelphia, whose. experience is typical, the 298 lifts are used a total of eight times a week. "When we first introduced them last summer, ev- eryone in it wheelchair took a ride," says David L. Gunn, general manager of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transporta- tion Authority. 'The novelty wore off." For the money spent on those lifts, Phil- adelphia could provide van service with attendants to help the many handicapped who cannot get down the stairs of their homes to reach the bus stop. When lift -equipped buses begin to ar- rive in New York City this spring, they are likely to get their fust test in combat conditions. Substantial numbers of hand- icapped people may try to board buses that are crowded much of the day. Will there be a backlash against the handi- capped? Will some bus riders deride that the lifts are just one more irritating delay in an already declining service and find other transportation? Or will the drivers simply pass the wheelchairs by? Not -so -mighty Rohr Of the two Advanced Design buses, the General Motors RTS 11 has held together much better on the street. In the early models the air conditioners kept breaking down, mostly because the compressor was too close to the engine and over- heated, but GM has fixed that and some other bugs. For the most part, the 5,183 RTS lis In service are performing well. Not so the 2,656 Grumman Flxible 870s that have been delivered. They, too, have had some relatively minor problems, such as Inadequate air conditioning in early models—but one serious flaw as well, an undercarriage so Insubstantial that dozens have cracked after only a short time on the street. The original mistake was riot Grumman's, but that of Rohr In - continued 353 L.� Atlanta was the first to complain of cracks.

Grumman, a Long Island aero- space company, purchased Flxible from Rohr for $55 million in 1978. When Grum- man bought Flxible, says Chairman Bier- wirlh, It was not troubled that the cars another division of Rohr had made for San Francisco's BART rail system had been plagued by defects. Rohr, it Is clear in retrospect, under - designed the 870. Because the manufac- tyrer has to pay a penalty to the purchasing city if the bus is delivered at more than 25,500 pounds ($3 for every pound of overweight), Rohr engineers cre- ated a lightweight undercarriage, based on an A-shaped'frame rather than the traditional rectangle. Before Gr unman bought Flxible, its engineers checked out the 870 and pronounced its parts, includ- Ing the A -frame, A -OK They were wrong Atlanta, the fust cus- tomer, complained of cracks in the en- gine cradle.

His subordinate, Ed- ward Stokel, heads up the bus operation. says Jim Huggins, director of mainte- nance for the Atlanta transit system A flutter of apprehension followed as Flxible got ready to send the 870 into New York City. Flxible had won a con- tract to supply 1,327 buses, a sale Grum- man believed would help give Flxible its fust profitable year since the New look went out But transit men consider New York's potholes the most brutal in the na- tion. The city's Metropolitan Transit Au- thority hired Stephen H. Crandall, a professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, to test -ride the 870 on the mean streets of Brooklyn and the Bronx He, too, said the bus could take it The first of the buses reached New York in July 1980, and by autumn the cracks appeared. On close inspection, cracks were found in the frames of bus- es on the streets of Los Angeles, Chi- cago, and Hartford as well. What went wrong? "It's a matter of metal fatigue," explains Robert G. Landon, a Grumman executive brought in to run Flxible in 1978. He charitably adds: 'The engineers knew how much stress the bus would be going through, but they missed on how frequently the bus would be taken to the high -stress point." The frames of Flxible MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIIIES buses in the field are now being strength- ened at five sites around the country. GM receives an immediate benefit from Flxible's troubles: New'York canceled its order for 477 buses not yet built and gave the order to GM instead. Without that sale GM's bus factory would have run out of work by the fust week of June. Washington's largess is limited The future is not encouraging. Theoret- ically, there is a market for as many as 6,000 new transit buses a year. A bus lasts about a dozen years, which means the ex- isting fleet should be replaced at the rate of about 4,500 new buses a year. With rid- ership now back to where it was in 1%5 and rising by 5% annually, there htay in time be a demand for perhaps 100 or so additional buses a year. The market pros- pects outside the US. for American buses are not promising. Europe has many well- established manufacturers, and the Ad- vanced Design is loo expensive for most other parts of the world. The total market is likely to be much smaller than those projections suggest Congress has appropriated only limited funds to buy the $150,000 buses Washing- ton helped create. Over the past few years bus deliveries have averaged only about 3,500, with GM's truck and coach division and Flxible each accounting for about 40%. The remaining 2096 has been divided among several foreign competitors. These include General Motors of Canada, which now makes a version of the New look bus that includes a wheelchair lift The market Is unlikely to grow much. The best guess by transit agencies and manufacturer is that the Reagan Administration will re- duce operating subsidies, estimated at about $850 million in the current fiscal year. With less operating money, cities will not be adding new routes and ex- panding their fleets. - The Industry expects that the Adminis- tration will not try to cut back on capital grants for buses; about $930 million has been appropriated for this year. But not all of that will go for vehicles. Some will be used to reconstruct antiquated repair continued � 67 F shops. More cities are likely to follow the lead of Philadelphia, which plans to re- build 270 buses at a cost of up to $50,000 each to stretch out their lives for another five'years. That, of course, will cut into the replacement market. Both GM and Flxible, moreover, will have difficulty holding their market shares as'foreign competitors move in to exploit their vulnerability. The Europeans claim they can supply buses that are cheaper to operate, even though their buses too must include wheelchair lifts. The only way a transit authority can get around accepting a wheelchair lift is to forfeit the federal grant. As far as the American Public Tran- sit Association can tell, no city has yet de- cided to go it alone. Neoplan, a West German bus manufac- turer, is building a plant in Lamar, Col- orado, where It will assemble New Look buses with lifts. Atlanta expects to receive 50 vehicles this summer and Milwaukee has signed up for 46. Another West Ger- man company, MAN, has been selling an "articulated" bus, that is, a conventional transit bus with a 15- or 20 -foot -long ca- boose attached to the main body with an accordion -like connector. Seattle has 151 The good old reliable New Look bus, back In fashion because of IU successors' troubles, makes Its way down New York's Fifth Ave- nue.

At least their planes Ay Neither GM nor FlAble is likely to earn a profit on its Advanced Design project. Landon of Flxible says the 870 can make money with a volume as low as 1,500 ve- hicles a year, and he expects to make a profit in 1981. But that's operating profit Grumman has already written off $87 mil- lion over the three years from 1978 to 1980, including the purchase price of Flxi- ble and a reserve of $7 million to cover re- pairs of the cracked frames. After taxes, FlAble has cost Grumman $50 million in earnings it probably will not recover. In 19$0, losses from FlAble reduced Grum- man's earnings by 30 cents a share, to $2.35. GM invested $50 million in new tools to make the RTS 11. To amortize that, GM will have to sell 2,400 buses a year for a time. Later the breakeven point will drop to 2,000, but even that figure seems out of Teach.'The demand isn't there, the funds aren't there," says Robert W. Truxell, gen- eral manager of GM's truck and coach division. As GM's executives scan the horizon, the bus business is so tiny—well under 1% of corporate sales—that its troubles don't even show up as a blip. For Grumman the injury is not very great either. The design flaw is embarrassing, but that will not ma- terially hurt Grumman's military -airplane business.
