MEMORANDUM
Date: March 9, 1981
To: Department and Division Heads
From: Neal n, City Manager
Re: Building Temperature Restrictions
On February 17, 1981, President Reagan made compliance with the
Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions voluntary. It is the
City's policy that City buildings will continue to comply with the
temperature restrictions. Energy is the City's single largest
operating expense and it is in the City's interest to limit that
expense wherever possible. Also, it is expected that the cost of
energy will continue to increase significantly.
No City building shall be heated above 65°F during the winter or
cooled below 78°F during the summer. Also by way of reminder,
electric space heaters are allowed only to raise the temperature to
65'F. The maximum temperature allowed for the domestic hot water is
105°F. Compliance in City buildings is required and will be
monitored periodically. Department heads are responsible for
insuring compliance.

Dear Mr. Berlin:
Subject: Meeting of Iowa City Delegation and Iowa Department
of Transportation Officials
This is in response to your letter of February 20 and the
subsequent offer by the Iowa City Chamber of Commerce to meet
in the Chamber Office for a brief get together when the Commission
passes through Iowa City on a tour of area transportation
facilities. We plan to be there from about 3:00 to 3:30 p.m.
on March 17 and look forward to an informal discussion of
the Freeway 518 Project at that time.
We have a full agenda for the March 16 Commission Meeting with
just Cedar Rapids area transportation issues and trust this
face-to-face meeting opportunity will serve your needs more
conveniently than making a trip to Cedar Rapids.
Ve;y truly yours,
aymond L. Kassel !

MEMORANDUM
Date: February 25, 190,1
To: City Council I
From: Don Schmeiser,"' COG Acting Director
Re: Human Services Planning Work Program
{ As you are aware, Human Services Planning is a JCCOG funded program
jl supported totally by Iowa City with the exception of a quarter -time
Research Assistant provided by the University of Iowa. The Human
1 Services Planning work program was submitted to the JCCOG Board of
Directors for its review and consideration. The Board resolved,
however, that since the program was supported by Iowa City, the Iowa
City City Council should have the prerogative of reviewing and
approving the work program for the next fiscal year.
} Attached hereto are proposed goals and objectives for FY82 for the
Human Services Planning work program. The objectives indicated are
those which Pam Ramser, the Human Services Planner, has suggested be
implemented the next fiscal year. Since, according to the Amended
Articles of Agreement of the JCCOG, a work program must be approved
by the Board of Directors by April 15, I would suggest that the City
Council review and consider the work program presented and convey to
the Board of Directors for their formal approval the Council's
i endorsement of the program submitted or as amended.
Specifically, the work program outlined includes the identification
of opportunities and alternatives for establishing a more
coordinated effort in the centralized handling of human service
agencies' functions and of assistance services for local human
service agencies through the office of the Human Services Planner.
It is the staff's recommendation that a greater emphasis be placed on
this effort to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of this
program.

Re: FY82 Human Service Planning Goals & Proposed Objectives
j The attached sheet outlines goals, objectives, and performance
measurements to be considered for the JCCOG Human Services FY82 work
i program. The objectives listed are those which I have either been
specifically asked to accomplish or reflect directions indicated by the
JCRPC Program Development Subcommittee in 1979. The performance
measurements correspond by number to the objectives.
The entire list of objectives is probably too ambitious to be accomplished
in one year. Specifically, completion of objectives three and four may be
dependent upon the availability of a social work practicum student or
! other student assistance, in addition to the current quarter time planning
intern. I believe that completion of objectives one, two, five and six
takes priority.
! I would appreciate any input that Councilmembers might have on these
objectives. In addition, if there are any items missing from the list
which you feel should be included, please let me know.
An additional item which has been identified since this list was drawn up
is the possible need to develop evaluation criteria to be used in making
j recommendations for agency funding.

{{ Requests for Animal Control services were nearly 42% below the number of
requests for the same month in 1980. Of major significance was the
processing and mailing of several thousand informational sheets relating
i
to the amended pet licensing ordinance and animal control regulations.
Statistical reports are appended.
In-service training continued in the department. Most officers were
recertified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Training was given
in the Fire Department by firemen instructors. Sergeant Pat Harney
successfully-- and thankfully -- completed his second month of
instruction at the F.B.I. National Academy. He is scheduled for
graduation on March 20, 1981 and will be returning to duty shortly
thereafter. Officer Charles Singleman was called to extended duty with
the military at Ft. Rucker, Alabama. He will be returning to duty with
the Iowa City Police Department in January, 1982.

Iowa City, Iowa 52240 (3I/)754 -12h4
HELP MOVE THE IOWA CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY
Lully F91tes, Uirmlur
General Plan Utilizinq Volunteers:
The Iowa City Public Library plans to move across Linn Street
into its new 43.5 million dollar building at the northwest corner
of College and Linn Streets in early June.
Hiring professional movers to do the job would be costly. The
organization "Friends of the Iowa City Public Library" has offered
to recruit community -volunteers to help with the move. The cost of
the move to the taxpayer will be minimized. in addition, there is
the opportunity for citizens to be involved in the establishment of
an outstanding, modern public library which will be a source of great
community pride for years to come.
More than 125,000 books and related library items are to be
moved. The biggest part of the operation will occur on Saturday,
June 6 and Sunday, June 7, when the bulk of the book collection will be
moved. Six hundred volunteers are needed for half-day moving shifts
on these days.
As there are no elevators in the old library, it is planned to
box the materials at the shelf, and carry the boxes (weighing from
15 - 25 lbs. each) to the street level. Here the boxes will be
loaded on two -wheel dollies and pushed across the street. Teams in
the new library will receive the boxes, carry them to the stack
areas, and shelve the materials immediately.
Most of the person -rower needed will be involved in the trans-
portation of books.
Volunteer Requirements for Moving the Book Collections:
Most persons planning to volunteer should be able to lift and
carry boxes weighing 15 - 25 lbs. for a four-hour shift with one rest
period. A sample box of books is available in the Library Office for
those who would like to test their ability before signing up.
Children who have completed the sixth grade will be accepted as
volunteers if they are able to lift boxes as described above.
Groups or organizations wishing to recruit and mobilize a team
as a group volunteer project are encouraged to do so. A team will be
composed of fifteen packers, lifters, carriers, and dolly -pushers.
Jobs can be rotated somewhat within a moving shift. It cannot be
promised that all members of one organization can be scheduled to
work together although every effort will be made to do this.
The collection move must take place rain or shine, so volunteers
should come prepared anddressed appropriately.

V-
other Volunteer Jobs and Other Assistance:
Trained librarians are needed to assist the library staff with
removal of books from the shelves and re -shelving in the new library.
Clerical and secretarial workers are needed to help in the recruit-
ment campaign and with a myriad other responsibilities. Help in
serving refreshments to team members on June 6 - 7 is required. The
Iowa City Homebuilders and Homebuilders Auxiliary are helping with a
trial run on May 30 - 31 when audio-visual items, some periodicals,
ardsome shelving will be moved. Firms may wish to help with the
loan of equipment (such as two -wheel dollies) and with the provision
of refreshments for volunteers. This outline of the project may
trigger many suggestions and ways of helping the move -- ideas and
commitments are solicited.
Signing up as a Volunteer:
Cards on which a person's services can be volunteered are
available at the Iowa City Public Library and are also available from
organized youth groups, school librarians, churches, and offices of
many firms. These cards are to be returned to the Iowa City Public
Library. They can be mailed.
Further Information:
The dissemination of this information in a group's newsletter
is encouraged. A library staff member will be glad to come to a
meeting of a group, organization, or service club to explain the
move plans and describe the new building and how it provides expanded
library services. (Call Carol Spaziani, Iowa City Public Library,
359-1269).
Move Celebration:
All volunteers helping with the move will receive an invitation
to a gala pre -opening preview/reception to be hosted by the Librc+ry's
Board of Trustees on Saturday. evening, June 13. The public open -
house and formal dedication will take place on June 14. The new
library opens for full service at 1:00 p.m. on June 15.

action. As passed by the subcommittee on a 4-1 vote, local units of government
would he authorized to levy, with referendum, a local option income tax. The
provision dealing with local option sales tax was stripped from the subcommittee
bill as was the provision requiring a percentage of revenue to be used as property
tax off -set.
Voting in favor of the bill were Senators Readinger, Rush, Van Gilst and
Craft. Voting against was Senator Lura.
We expect that amendments reinstating sales tax as an option will be offered
in full committee or on the floor during debate.
If your senator is on the Senate Ways and Means Committee, they should be
contacted and urged to vote for passage of the subcommittee bill. At this time in
the session the most important thing is to get the bill out of committee and to
the floor for debate. Chnnges dealing with sales taxes and refinements in the
bill can be made by amendments from the floor. Emphasize to your senator that the
legislation deserves a fair hearing in full debate by the Senate.
Members of the Senate Ways and Means Committee arc: Craft, Readinger, Lura,
Van Gilst, Rush, Rodgers, Hester, Holden, Hultman, Ramsey, Taylor, Husak, Junkins,
Palmer and Priebe.
'_, B. Reauthorization of state municipal assistance has been reviewed by the
(louse and Senate Regulatory and Finance Appropriations subcommittee and has been
left as recommended by the Governor. Attempts to remove the recommendation of the
state comptroller to fund the operation of the City Finance Committee from the
fund failed on party line votes.
This committee will complete its work shortly and send the bill to the floor
for debate. As proposed, the recommendation stands at $13.97 million or approxi-
mately $6.31 per capita.
This favorable review by the subcommittee will go a long way toward final
approval by the full committee and the House and Senate.
C. Senate File 262, a bill which amends the soil conservation bill of last
session dealing with 'Mand -disturbing activities", has passed the Senate on n
46-0 vote and has been sent to the House Natural Resources Committee for action.
As passed the bill repeals the requirement that a soil erosion control plan
be approved by the soil conservation district commissioners before a permit for a
project will be issued.
✓D. Senate File 374, a bill which clarifies the duties and liability of a
city and private property owners on removing snow from sidewalks, has been favor-
ably reported out of the Senate Cities Committee and placed on the calendar for
debate.
This legislation is in response to on Iowa Supreme Court ruling which held
that local governments which own the public sidewalks are liable for accidents on
them, and that property owners can't be held liable for accidents on snow and ice
accumulations.
As written, the bill placeslia ility on the abutting property owner for —1
injuries arising out of their failure to remove snow and ice.

The companion bill is in a House Cities subcommittee'chaired by Rep. Betty
Hoffman.
Please contact your senator and urge them to vote yes on this proposal.
F. Ili: 250, a bill which authorizes cities to establish a special fund to
protect it against past and future losses arising out of acts or omissions of its
officers and employees, has been favorably reported to the full (louse Cities Com-
mittee.
_F_ -Senate File 13, which removes the ceiling on investments of public funds,
has passed the Senate, and its companion bill, IIP 454, is on the [louse calendar
awaiting debate.
As of this writing, (louse leadership has indicated a reluctance to move into
full debate on this bill until additional interests have time to file amendments.
Delay in debate and passage of this bill by the House could "kill" the bill for
the session.
You should contact either Lawrence Pope, Majority Floor Leader, or Del Stromer,
Speaker of the House, and urge early action on the legislation.
,-�—�G. A bill to clarify liability of a city for inspection, punitive damages,
defense and indemnification of employees and other discretionary functions has
been under debate by the full Senate Judiciary Committee.
Earlier indications that the bill would be reported out of committee have
failed to materialize and it now appears that the committee would rather 11tulk the
bill to death in committee" than allow it to be debated by the entire Senate.
This bill has been debated in one fora or another for two sessions of the
General Assembly. It is an outgrowth of the Wilson v. Nepstad Supreme Court deci-
sion which made local governments liable for injuries caused by conditions in
privately -owned buildings. That decision meant that local government faced extra-
ordinary risks and exposure to suit.
In proposing this legislation, cities are seeking the same treatment that the
legislature has given insurance company inspectors. In the past, the Supreme Court
held that insurance companies could be sued for negligent inspections of insured
property. Afterward the legislature made insurance companies immune from suit for
such inspections.
li This bill is a priority bill for cities. Please contact your senator if they
are a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and urge passage of the bill by the
committee.
Members of the committee are: DeKoster, Kudart, Rush, Baugher, Dreeszen,Lura,
Murray, Ramsey, Taylor, Carr, Coleman, Doyle and Small.
SI1 154, a bill repealing the prohibition against a city from making a law or
ordinance relating to obscene material, has been passed by the Senate State Govern-
ment Committee and placed on the Senate calendar for debate.
The vote was 8-6 in favor of passage. Voting aye: Nystrom, Lura, Briles,
Craft, Drake, C. Miller, Schwengels and Tieden. Voting no: Slater, Carr, Galla-
gher, Gentleman, Hutchins and Palmer.
OTHER BILLS RELATING TO CITY GOVERNMENT
HANDICAPPED PARKING
The Senate version of the handicapped parking legislation, SF 87, has been
further amended by the (louse Human Resources Committee and passed to the calendar
for debate. As amended by the committed; fW p6kcent9'gb—of-spaces-requi'red•-for--- --
handicapped designation has been reduced from 1% to .6 of 1%. Additionally,
language prohibiting cities from selling handicapped signs at cost has been deleted
from the bill.
e
As the bill is currently proposed, cities exorcising the option to offersigns
may recover costs. Uties deciding not to get into the sign business would still
have to reimburse private parties if the signs are obtained from IDOT.
Although the legislation is a markedlimprovement over the Senate -passed ver- _)
sion, the bill is still fundamentally wrong because it imposes an arbitrary de-
cision on "set -asides" on cities. Additionally, the bill fails to clarify who is
I MICROFILMED BY
'DORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES HOIIIES
-3 -
responsible for enl'orcement ul' the handirupped Silures on private properly.
ACTION REQUIRED
Contact your state representative and ask them to oppose the legislation.
Ask them to file amendments which would specifically state that cities are not
responsible for enforcing the provisions of this legislation on private property.
Encourage them to send the bill to the house Transportation Committee for further
study. This committee should have jurisdiction over the bill since the billorigi-
nated in the Senate 'Transportation Committee.
RETAINAGE
SF 225, relating to the amount of revenue retained by a city for public works
contracts, has been sent to the House for consideration. As passed by the Senate,
the requirements relating to escrow were removed by amendment, and clarification
of federal contracts were placed in the bill.
It is now our understanding that IDOL' wants to reinsert the escrow provisions
back in the legislation,
The League has long objected to escrow provisions and if such language is re-
inserted in the bill, you should urge your legislators to vote against the legis-
lation.

Work Completed:
1. An Assistant Transit Manager was hired at the end of FY80. By the end
of the second quarter he had taken over almost full responsibility for
day -today operation, especially in the area of personnel relations
and driver and night crew supervision. This has allowed the Transit
Manager to concentrate on other administrative matters.
2. Specifications for new transit buses, two-way radios, and bus
shelters were completed and submitted to State and Federal transit
agencies during the second quarter. Also, the contract for FY81 State
transit assistance was signed. By the end of the second quarter no
action had been taken on preparing the FY82 State contract due to
delays at the State level.

City Police Department, including a high level of citizen involvement
if these objectives are to be achieved. Iowa Citians are good at
demanding that things be done and services performed --as long as all

I. Respond to emergency and services called for services as rapidly as

2. Increase the effectiveness of patrol in the follow-up of criminal
investigations.
Work Completed:
1. No significant reduction of response time has been noted. As a matter
of interest, response to "crime - in -progress" calls and emergencies
has, in many instances, improved considerably.
2. Significant patrol interest in follow-up criminal investigations is
evident with an increasing amount of clearance by the Patrol Unit.
Analysis:
While the capabilities of the Patrol Unit evidence considerable
improvement more effort is is needed to build unit -wide enthusiasm for
completed investigations. In addition, education and training is needed
throughout the Patrol Unit in improved patrol methods.

2. To provide thorough and rapid follow-up on all cases.
3. To improve investigative support, including crime preventive measures
to the Patrol Unit, to the extent allowed by resource availability.
Work Completed:
All objectives are continuous and are constantly modified to meet changing
conditions and situations. Objective 1 and 2 above, at least the goals
implied in them, are being met, although an increased investigative
caseload noted in this quarter has impeded the attainment of the objectives
to some degree. Time, personnel and financial resources have not been
available to induce progress on objective 3.
Analysis:
Obvious alteration of individual circumstances, the type and nature of
cases assigned, resource availability and demands for increased
investigative services point up the difficulty of rapidly achieving the
stated objectives.

DECISION UNIT: ENERGY CONSERVATION PROGRAM
Fiscal Year Objectives:
1. Update building inventory and analyze the energy consumption of
buildings, July -September.
2. Conduct walk-through energy audits, September -April.
3. Arrange for Technical Audits of buildings, timetable undetermined.
4. Update division vehicle assignment and establish fuel use data base,
July -September.
5. Identify vehicle assignment and operating changes, October -December.
6. Explore alternative fuel and smaller vehicle purchase, August -December.
7. Monitor solar collector performance, ongoing for entire year.
8. Disseminate energy conservation information to City employees, as
needed.
Work Completed:
- A building energy audit procedure, audit checklist, State audit grant
forms, and energy audits in four buildings were completed.
- Inquiries were made into computerized energy management systems.
- Fuel use information for FY78, 79, and 80 was compiled and future use
projected. Inquiries were made into automated fuel dispensing systems
and drivers' energy conservation training for City staff.
- The two solar systems were completed and seminars held at each site.
Over 125 people attended the seminars.
- Energy conservation information was distributed to City employees.
- Staffing was provided for the Resources Conservation Commission.
Analysis:
Good progress was made on preparations for building energy audits. The
actual auditing is behind schedule due to the time spent on implementing the
solar project. This will be brought back on schedule during the third
quarter. The General Fund account 1251.0 will show a lot of unspent money
because the engineers will not be hired for Technical Audits of which the
City's 50% match is $7,850 and the $5,850 for the infrared scanner will not
be transferred until a decision is made on the FY82 CDBG budget. The total
for these two items is $13,300 or 37% of the budget.

Reagan budget may kill funding
Iowa- sewer projects threatened
By John McCarroll
DES MOINES — Federal funding for wastewa.
ter treatment plant and sewer construction would
be cut under President Reagan's budget, a cut
that would mean the loss of $11 million a year In
Iowa and, for some Iowa communities, the loss of
all federal sewer aid.
Officials of the Iowa Department of Environ.
mental Quality said Tuesday that while Reagan
wants to reduce total funding for construction
grants for waste treatment plants, he also wants
to eliminate all federal funding for sewer
construction.
It's a recommendation that would be a setback
for Iowa City, said Joe Obr, director of DEQ's
construction grants section. He said Iowa City Is
seeking federal and state aid for S83 million in
sewer work along with $21 million for a
wastewater treatment plant.
The Reagan proposal could also delay plans In
Decorah for construction of a wastewater
treatment plant. Obr said Decorah Is in line for
$220,000 In design funds and another $3 million
for construction work.
Iowa this year received $43 million In federal
funds to hblp commdniUes build or renovate
their wastewater treatment plants and sewer
systems in order to comply with federal water
standards. The federal government pays 76
percent of the bill for such projects, while local
governments pay 20 percent, and the state
provides the remaining 6 percent.
Obr said the Reagan budget for the fiscal year
that begins Oct. 1 of this year would reduce
Iowa's funding to $32 million. Nationwide,
Reagan's budget would reduce the construction
grants program by $1 billion.
Obr and Larry Crane, DEQ's executive
director, said the Reagan budget will mean
further delays for many Iowa communities that
are welting for federal eid, and for some, they
said, the Reagan plan could mean funds would
never be available.
Obr estimated that 400 to 426 Iowa communi-
ties need some type of sewer or wastewater
treatment plant construction or renovation. He
placed the cost of the work at $660 million, with
at least $150 million of that for wastewater
treatment plant construction.
He said It the Reagan plan Is adopted and
federal aid Is restricted to the treatment plants, It
would take 10 years just to handle only half the
present needs In Iowa. And that's assuming
Inflation slows considerably, Obr said.
Crane, however, said Reagan's plan for fewer
federal regulations of the, program could more
than cut In half the time it takes to design and
actually build wastewater treatment plants. It
takes an average of eight to 10 years today for a
plant to be completed, he said.
The probable cutback in federal aid comes at
the same time that the state's contribution to the
program also Is being reduced. Crane said the
state started out this year providing nearly $5
million, but that has been reduced by Gov.
Robert Ray's budget reductions. Ray Is recom-
mending only $2 million each of the next two
years for the program.
Obr said delays in sewer and treatment plant
construction could be costly to some Iowa
communities that are attempting to attract new
Industry and Improve their community's Image.
That also Is the concern of Robert Harpeter,
director of the League of Iowa Municipalities.
'The spinoff effect is that if a city can go
ahead and complete a project, they have a leg up
in attracting business, industry (and) new jobs.
That's (water treatment) one of the primary
concerns of Industry," Harpster said.
Obr said most of Iowa's larger communities,
Including Cedar Rapids, already have completed
sewer or wastewater treatment plant work under
the federal program and wouldn't be affected by
the Reagan budget. He predicted that there will
be "quite an airing" of the Reagan plan in
Congress because congressmen are aware of the
benefits the construction grants program has
provided In communities.

Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Board Members:
OWA CITY
IOWA CITY IOWA 522.40 (319) 354.180D
Thank you for your letter of February 23, 1981, to the City Council.
The clarification of these important issues should provide the basis
for developing the cooperative relationship which is necessary for
the City and the Elderly Services Agency to effectively and
efficiently meet the needs of senior citizens.
1. You expressed the view that the word "on trial" set a negative
tone. The statement by Ms. Ramser was not judgmental but rather
was intended to be descriptive of the actual situation. The
City would view any other new agency in the same manner.
However, in this instance, there are additional circumstances.
Because there were complaints about the service, financial and
administrative management, and the too rapid addition of new
programs in the predecessor agency, the City is very sensitive
to the development of the Elderly Services Agency. This concern
is heightened by the recognition that the Elderly Services
Agency will be a key service agency in the Senior Center.
2. You suggested that the previous comment, "...did not accurately
represent the criteria upon which our agency should be
considered" and that "...no tool was used to measure the
development for our services". The tools being used to judge
the development of the Elderly Services Agency are the periodic
reports which you submit and input which the City receives from
a variety of sources concerning agency performance.
In the next fiscal year the City will again contract for
specific services. In the development of the service contract
you may wish to work with Ms. Ramser to provide additional
criteria which will be used for evaluation purposes.

At the City Council meeting, Ms. Ramser stated that her reason
for not including the additional funding was that the $2,000
would be used as a match for a CETA grant for a one-half time
Volunteer Coordinator. This is a service for which the City
currently does not contract and as CETA funds are frozen, the
approval of a new CETA grant is extremely unlikely.
At both your meeting and the City Council meeting, we discussed
criteria used by the City Council in determining agency
allocations. While Ms. Ramser will be working with all agencies
to develop criteria to be used in recommendations for funding,
it must be recognized that the allocations to human service
agencies are a part of the political process. Therefore, rigid
criteria may not always be useful to individual Councilmembers
as they make budget decisions.
The City strongly encourages the Elderly Services Agency to
seek additional sources of funding. Human service agency
funding is the primary responsibility of the state and county
governments. Historically, the City has not been and does not
intend to be the principal funder for human service agencies.
Fortunately, with the use of some revenue sharing funds, the
City has been able to assist human service agencies.
3. You spoke about the "administration of the Senior Center" and
the elimination of this "...costly and unnecessary
expenditure". The budget for the Senior Center is comprised
principally of personnel to insure efficient and effective use
of the facility in a way which best meets the needs of the
elderly and the actual building operating costs, such as heat,
water, lights, cleaning, supplies and air conditioning.
Approximately 57% of the budget is allocated to operating
costs. The remainder of the budget is personnel costs for the
Senior Center Coordinator, Program Specialist and Clerk Typist.
In addition to having direct responsibility for the operation
and maintenance of the building and the scheduling of
activities in the Senior Center, the si,aff is expected to
develop and coordinate common support services for all direct
service agencies in an effort to reduce operating costs,
provide staff support and resources for the elderly in their

out programs and activities, and to

with the needs of the Senior Center
participate both with financial and
The Senior Center staff also is expected to support the direct
service providers, when possible and desirable, so that they
can better serve the elderly. Your agency has been a recipient
of much of this support. For example, when the Council on Aging
closed its doors, the funding bodies agreed that an agency to
provide direct services to the elderly should be created and
supported. The City staff coordinated the joint meetings,
searched for persons or agencies interested in supplying
services, and prepared the written contract. No other funding
body had staff assigned to work in -this area.
The second situation in which the Elderly Services Agency was
supported by Senior Center staff is in the snow removal program.
The City staff coordinated the transfer of the service to your
agency and supported the concept that a direct service agency
should provide the service. The Senior Center budget paid for
graphics, posters and handouts necessary to initiate the
program. In addition, the staff worked with various
departments of the City in locating a chore coordinator and the
equipment that was necessary, including a truck. In addition
the City agreed to financially support the program when the
financial resources of the Elderly Services Agency were not
adequate.
Both of these activities typify the kind of support and
coordinative efforts that the Senior Center staff must and will
continue to provide in the future. The staff will not undertake
direct service responsibility itself but rather will aid the
efforts of the Elderly Services Agency and other agencies,
organizations and individuals in the community interested in
serving the elderly.
4. You indicated that many elderly citizens have stated that they
would like to be given an opportunity to assist in the
coordination and operation of the Senior Center. The Council of

Elders was formed as the foundation of that effort. As we move
closer to the opening of the Senior Center these efforts will be
broadened as additional opportunities arise and individuals and
groups express interest in specific programs and services. The
City believes very strongly that the success of the Senior
Center depends upon the degree to which elderly citizens plan,
develop and carry out programs and operation of the Senior
Center.
At an early opportunity, I will be pleased to meet with you to
clarify any matters that this letter has raised and further develop
communications with your agency.

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 20, 1981
To: City Council
From: Dale Helling, Assistant City Manager
Re: Animal Control Operations
Three issues were raised a few weeks ago regarding the operation of the
Animal Control Division:
1. Hours of operation;
2. Late licensing penalty; and
3. Licensing schedule based on calendar year.
The Animal Control Supervisor has extended the hours during which the
shelter is open to the public by one additional hour per day oh weekdays
and by an additional half hour per day on weekends. The extended hours
are 11:30 AM to 5:30 PM (regular hours are Noon to 5:00 PM) on weekdays,
and 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM (regular hours are 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM) on Saturday
and Sunday. This schedule will continue through the end of March to
correspond with the March 31 deadline for licensing. Normal hours of
operation will resume in April.
Relative to questions regarding the licensing schedule and penalty, the
attached memorandum from Bev Horton addresses these issues. Both are
provided for in the newly .adopted Animal Control ordinance and a
corresponding resolution sets applicable license fees. These provisions
are, of course, subject to review by Council at any time. Any change will
require an amendment to the ordinance.
As is evident in the attached memorandum, the Animal Control Supervisor
strongly recommends that the current licensing schedule and fee
structure, including the late registration penalty, be maintained as in
the present ordinance.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 5, 1981
TO: Harvey Miller
FROM: Bev Horton
RE: The New Pet License Program
In response to our meeting with Dale Helling this week I hope
the following will clear up any questions concerning the new pet
license program.
The calendar year licensing system was decided.upon for several
reasons. It is structured after other communitiesi.e. Coralville;
Cedar Rapids;and Sioux City as examples. Calendar year licensing
corresponds to most other governmental licensing i.e. cars, boats,
state and federal income taxes, property taxes,etc. Also, over
the past three years of licensing,the overwhelming majority of
requests from pet owners have been to change to a calendar year.
It appears much more convenient for our society to think about
what licenses are due at the first of the year - not when their
rabies shot is due or when the city or county fiscal year ends.
In our University community the calendar year systems covers the
arrivals in the fall as well as those arriving in January. This
system provides effective and easy monitoring of licensing. All
licenses expire December 31, not at various times throughout the
year as in the past.
The $15.00 penalty was again adopted from other cities with succ-
essful experience and results, i.e. Sioux City. The $15.00
penalty primarily provides incentive to license! Prior to this
system there was little or no incentive to comply except the
issuance of a citation for failure to license. This citation
required a court appearance with a fine of $10.00 plus $9.50
court costs. The present penalty is less costly and avoids the
negative response and time consuming hassle of the citation.
This system receives full support of the Legal Department.
Concerning revenue generation to the City, the penalty fee is
supported by the Finance Director. The alternative citation
involves $9.50 in court costs alone.
The license fees are as follows:
25¢ for puppies 6 kittens under 6 months
$2.00/year for spayed and neutered pets
$10.0o/year for unaltered pets
Pet owners who are currently licensed from past years are pro-
rated on a quarterly basis to finish out the calendar year.
fW
MICROFILMED BY
' JORM MICRO_ LAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOVIES
The entire system is fair and equitable.
In my experience of processing over 400 pet owners in person dur-
ing the past three weeks, I have the following observations to
share. The response has been the success we anticipated. Eighty
percent of the applications processed have been new licenses.
Most have failed to license before, due to lack of knowledge,
confusion over the process and no prior incentive. Ninety-nine
percent of the walk-in applicants have been positive and numerous
comments have been made expressing appreciation for the mail
notice. I have found less hostility to the regular $10.00 un-
altered fee due to the avoidance of the $15.00 penalty. People
have been especially appreciative of the convenience of being
able to mail in applications and being personally reminded.
The problems experienced this year - due to time, i.e. late
passage of the ordinance, printing and schedule conflicts, will
not occur next year. Last week's time crunch has subsided due to
the deadline extension. Next year licenses will go on sale
actively December 1st and for the next three months there should
be no reason renewals cannot take place without inconvience to
the pet owners, as with this year. They have the convenience

I strongly urge that Council continue the policies as they stand
as they have proven to be effective and successful by other
cities. I can assure the Council that during this first year of
operation and transition the pet owner will be granted every
consideration possible.
The only request I've received from the public is to provide
senior citizens discounts. They receive discounts for most other
fees and I support this measure as a good public relations
effort.

From: David Brown, Assistant City AttorneyY 7 W
Re: Lease Renegotiations between the Airport Commission and the
Iowa City Flying Service
The Airport Commission is presently renegotiating the leases with the Iowa
City Flying Service. At a special meeting on February 19, 1981, the
Airport Commission discussed several points in reference to the leases.
It has been brought to my attention that the City Council is interested in
a clarification of the item listed as number ten in the minutes of the
February 19, 1981 meeting. Item M10 reads "Delete provision whereby
Commission is obligated to operate premises as airport or provide equal
facilities during term of lease."
There is a provision in the master lease which reads as follows: "During
the period of this lease, the lessor shall continue to operate the leased
premises as a municipal airport or shall provide equal or superior
facilities for lessee." The Airport Commission was of the opinion that
this provision should be deleted in the renegotiated lease. This
discussion arose in the context that if for some reason the Airport had to
close during the period of the present lease, the Airport Commission did
not want to be obligated to provide equal or superior facilities for the
lessee. Under the current lease, the Iowa City Flying Service has an
option to renew through 1996.

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 19, 1981
To: City Council and City Manager
From: I Jim Hencin, CDBG Program Coordinator
Re: Informal Meeting with CCN Members
Next Monday afternoon, the Committee on Community Needs will be meeting
with you in regards to proposals for CDBG funding over the next three year
period (1982-84). Basically, the Committee members would like to discuss
with the City Council the preliminary recommendations which CCN has
formulated. CCN will be making formal recommendations the Council in
April but sees this as an opportunity to review mutual concerns and
priorities for community and neighborhood improvement.
CCN Priorities
Since early January, the Committee has met several times, holding
neighborhood meetings, work sessions, etc. to arrive at a list of "high
priority" projects for CDBG funding. Citizen response to CCN's requests
for ideas and suggestions was quite favorable; individuals and groups
presented over 50 suggestions, totaling over $6 million. Their
suggestions have appeared in the minutes of the CCN meetings.
While many of the suggestions and requests for funding were very worthy
and needed in the community, the Committee obviously had to eliminate
several on the basis of some priorities. CCN generally took the approach
that CDBG funds should be used to accomplish things that otherwise could
not be done with just local resources, or to encourage neighborhood
upgrading by eliminating persistent problems. In keeping with this
approach and the prior commitments that CCN has made to the elderly and
handicapped, a list of priority proposals was arrived at. That list
appears as Attachment A.
Even with the list of priority proposals, not all could be funded. The
$776,000 per year CDBG funds would only permit funding about 70% of the
total project costs. The Committee therefore prepared a preliminary
budget for each program year, placing projects, program administration
and planning costs, and contingency monies in sequence. These budgets are
outlined in Attachment B.

The one prominent difference between CCN and staff preliminary
recommendations is the allocation for the Family -Life Home (for the frail
elderly). CCN has made a preliminary recommendation of partial funding
($55,000) which would be contingent upon there being a definite sponsor
and other financial commitments for the balance of the project cost.
Staff did not recommend funding this proposal.
Both CCN and staff allocated partial funding ($70,000) for the Independent
Living Center. This would be contingent upon their securing monies for
the balance of the project cost, as well as firm financial backing for
operations.
Staff and CCN members look forward to discussing CDBG priorities with the
Council. It is hoped that we can have benefit of Council feedback and
ideas before making a final recommendation on April 1.

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 20, 1981
To: City Manager and City Council
From: Larry Chiat, Development Coordinator
Re: Possible Use of UDAG Program for Hotel/Department Store Project
By a letter dated March 6, 1981, the Omaha Area Office of HUD has
indicated that the City has been determined to be eligible to apply for
funds through the Urban Development Action Grant (UDAG) Program. You have
requested a report on the possibility of applying for UDAG funding for a
portion of the Hotel/Department Store Project. In response to your
request, this memorandum will summarize the procedural requirements for
the preparation and filing of a UDAG grant application and will also
describe the substantive program policies applied by HUD during the course
of its review of UDAG applications.
I. UDAG Application Procedures and Requirements
A. Prior to submission of a UDAG application, the City must take
the following actions:
1. Citizen Participation
The City must prepare and follow a written citizen
participation plan.
2. Environmental Assessment
The City must make a finding as to whether the project may
significantly affect the quality of the environment.
3. A-95 Clearinahouse Review
The City must submit its UDAG application to the state and
areawide A-95 clearinghouses at least 30 days prior to
submitting the application to HUD.
B. Required contents of the UDAG application include the
following:
1. Detailed Project Description includina:
a. Statement of City's community development problems
and objectives.
b. Information showing the market feasibility for the
proposed project.
C. Information on the developers, investors, lessees,
and other parties involved in the project.

is
d. Information describing the project itself.
e. Detailed information on project financing.
f. Detailed information on the project's schedule.
2. Evidence that the Proposed Project Meets UDAG Program
0 .lb ectives:
a. Describe how the project would meaningfully add to
the City's physical facilities.
b. Describe how many jobs will be created and retained
by the project.
C. Describe the impact of the project on the City's tax
base and fiscal condition.
II. Program Policies Applied by HUD During Review of Application
The following are the program policies applied by HUD officials
during their review and analysis of proposed projects included in
each quarterly round of national competition for UDAG funds:
A. Necessity of UDAG Funding for the Proposed Project
HUD's program policy for UDAG requires that all private
investment must be contingent upon receipt of UDAG funding.
Letters from all project participants, including the City,
affirming that the project is dependent upon the receipt of UDAG
funds, are required by HUD.
B. Private Financial Commitments and Leveraging Ratio
To be considered for UDAG funding, a project must have firm
commitments from the developer and lender to proceed with the
project upon approval of UDAG funding. The lending institution
especially must put its credibility on the line by clearly
stating that it has reviewed the economics of the project and
the developer's record, and is sufficiently satisfied to lend a
specified sum of money for a defined period of time. The
commitments of the lender and the developer must both be firm
and unequivocal.
In addition to the above, HUD also places great importance on
the estimated "leveraging ratio" of private dollars to UDAG
dollars. A minimum ratio of 2.5 to 1.0 is required by HUD
regulations. To be competitive with other projects from across
the nation however, a leveraging ratio of twice or three times
the minimum ratio is advisable.
C. Impact of the Project on City's Employment Base
HUD also places great emphasis on the number of new permanent
jobs created by the UDAG funds awarded. The lesser the UDAG
cost per each new job created, the more competitive the UDAG y/7
application.
MICROFILMED BY
'JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES
3
D. Other Competitive Criteria
HUD, in reviewing UDAG applications, also applies other
criteria, including the following:
1. Impact of the project on City's fiscal base, i.e., tax
base.
2. Impact of the project on City's physical facilities.
3. Impact of the project on City's economic conditions.
4. Extent to which project meets local priority needs for
economic development.
i
III. Conclusion
The Hotel/Department Store Project is a commercial project of the
i type that could possibly qualify for UDAG funding after being
j subjected to intense review by HUD in a national competition.
If the controversy presently surrounding the Hotel/Department Store
Project can be resolved in the very near future, then the City can
make a decision soon as to whether to apply for UDAG funds during
1981. In this context, it should be noted that approximately $300
million in federal UDAG funds remain to be awarded in 1981. Although
the U.S. Office of Management and Budget recommended the elimination
of further UDAG awards in 1981, the President recently rejected this
recommendation. In fiscal 1982, however, UDAG funding levels are
proposed for reduction. Therefore, the City may have a better chance
to compete for UDAG funding this year rather than in 1982.
With respect to the actual timing of a UDAG application, I believe
the above information demonstrates the considerable efforts that
would be necessary by the City and the developer. I do not think
that an application could be prepared and submitted to HUD any
earlier than during the month of August, 1981. Even this would
require substantial amounts of staff time in order to meet the
requirement of submitting an application for A-95 review 30 days
prior to submission of the application to HUD.

MEMBERS PRESENT: Vetter, McDonald, Seward, Horton, Jakobsen
MEMBERS ABSENT: Blum, Kammermeyer
STAFF PRESENT: Scholten, Boothroy, Knight, Tyler
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL:
Z-8003. That the application submitted by Bjorensen Investment
Corporation for rezoning a 2.6 acre tract of land from R3A to PC, located
on the southeast corner of the intersection of Highway 6 and Lakeside
Drive be denied on the basis that the application is not complete.
Z-8004. That the application submitted by Albrecht Investments
Incorporated for rezoning of the Forest View Trailer Court and adjacent
property from RIA to C2 both of which are located south of I-80 and west of
Laura Drive be denied.
C-8101. That the right-of-way of the original Foster Road alignment be
reduced from 66 feet to 55 feet and that the City retain a 40 foot
right-of-way along St. Ann's Drive.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
Chairperson Jakobsen brought the meeting to order.
Minutes of February 5, 1981 and February 23, 1981 were approved as
circulated.
ZONING ITEMS:
Z-8003. Public discussion of an application submitted by Bjorensen
Investment Corporation for rezoning a 2.6 acre tract of land from R3A to

Lakeside Drive; 45 -day limitation period: 03/13/81.
Boothroy explained that the applicant has not submitted any additional
information and has indicated that he is no longer interested in pursuing
the application. Staff recommends that the application be denied on the
grounds that the application is not complete and therefore deficient.

and adjarznt property from RIA to C2 both of which are located south of I-

Boothroy explained that this was the second meeting at which this item has
been discussed. The applicant has not submitted any additional
information and staff has nothing to add to the original report.
Mr. Fahr stated that he was in attendance to register his continued
opposition to rezoning.
Bob Albrecht, the applicant, stated that it was not his fault that Iowa
City does not have a mobile home park zone. He stated that he was not
interested in any commercial development but wanted to add a few homes to
the court and upgrade the court generally. He stated he would not waive
the limitation period.
McDonald moved and Vetter seconded that the Commission recommend to
Council the denial of an application submitted by Albrecht Investments,
Incorporated for rezoning of the Forest View Trailer Court and adjacent
property from AlA to C2 both of which are located south of I-80 and west of
Laura Drive.
Motion carried unanimously.
Jakobsen noted that the Commission had discussed the possibility of the
applicant submitting a PAD and requesting rezoning to R3 but that the
applicant appeared not to be interested in that approach. She further
noted in response to an inquiry from Scholten that the Commission was
interested in considering a mobile home park zone and directed staff to
continue its work on that amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. She also
noted that the applicant would not give a waiver of the limitation period
so that an alternative method for granting him a,conforming use could not
be developed at this time.
Albrecht questioned why the Commission would not allow use of a
restrictive covenant. Jakobsen explained that neither the City nor the
Commission could enforce a covenant. The only time the Commission has
considered a covenant has been in relation to a PAD. Jakobsen added that
zoning is the most serious action the Commission can take and their policy
was to place as few restrictions on the zoning as possible.
Vetter added that a zone stays as it is until it is deliberately changed
by the Commission and that as long as that zoning is in effect, any uses
permitted by that zoning have to be allowed. Therefore, the Commission

has to assume that the "worst cause" possible might occur within a zone
and base their recommendation on that "worse case" assumption.
Fahr added that the City cannot enter into a covenant; that only grantors
and grantees can enter into covenants and furthermore, that State law
forbids contract zoning.
Boothroy pointed out that the applicant can still take his application to
the City Council.
VACATION ITEM:
C-8101. Public discussion of the vacation of right-of-way along St. Ann's
Drive from Buresh Avenue to Prairie du Chien Road; no limitation period.
Boothroy explained that a 66 foot right-of-way along the original Foster
Road had been dedicated at a time when the Foster Road alignment was
projected to have a straight connection between Prairie du Chien and
Buresh Avenue. The 66 foot right-of-way anticipated a 36' feet wide
street. However, since the time of that dedication, the City Council has
decided on a more northerly alignment of Foster Road.
AT the time of the dedication, Glasgow and the City informally agreed to
an exchange of right-of-way so that St. Ann's Drive would intersect Foster
Road at a 90 degree angle. With the northerly realignment of Foster Road,
this intersection is no longer desirable.
No apparent need for the additional right-of-way along original Foster
Road alignment exists. Both Engineering and Planning agree that the 66
foot wide right-of-way should be reduced 55 feet and disposed to the
nearest property owner. Furthermore, although it is desirable to have a
uniform 50 foot right-of-way for local streets, practically speaking
existing houses disallow widening St. Ann's Drive without condemnation.
Staff recommends that the City should retain St. Ann's Drive as it
currently exists but redefine the existing right-of-way to provide a
uniform 40 foot right-of-way.
Scholten suggested that the Commission wait to vote on the vacation until
the legal description was drawn up because of the complexities regarding
the locations of the various parcels. Seward asked whether it would be
appropriate in lieu of voting on each specific parcel or area if the
Commission could act on the recommendation as stated in the staff report.
Scholten responded that he would have no problem with that action.
Seward moved and McDonald seconded that the Commission recommend that
Council approve the right-of-way of the original Foster Road alignment be
reduced from 60 feet to 55 feet and that the City retain a 40 foot wide
right-of-way along St. Ann's Drive.

DISCUSSION OF THE PROPOSED MOBILE HOME RESIDENTIAL ZONE:
Scholten stated that conceptually, Legal had no problems with the proposed
Mobile Home Residential Zone Amendment. However, Legal did feel that it
might be possible to simplify the incorporation of the amendment with
Chapter 22. He stated that he had not yet had time to sufficiently study
the amendment and asked that discussion be postponed until the next
meeting.
DISCUSSION OF THE LSNRD PLAN REQUIREMENTS REGARDING ACT:
Jakobsen explained that ACT had built a parking lot which was not on their
LSNRD. She stated that the City Manager had requested that ACT submit an
amended LSNRD, but they had not yet done so.
Boothroy stated that he is working on pursuing the matter with ACT.
Scholten stated that the situation draws attention to the problem of
enforcement mechanisms with LSNRD's.

MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES
DEPARTMENT: PLANNING & PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
QUARTER: SECOND
DECISION UNIT: PLAN ADMINISTRATION
Fiscal Year Objectives:
1. To review, analyze and prepare recommendations on all applications
submitted for rezoning, subdivision, site plan and variance approval
making a determination whether development proposals complement or
conflict with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. To monitor development activities including: (1) advising developers
of the impact development may have upon the Comprehensive Plan; and
(b) maintaining a current data base with which to amend the Compre-
hensive Plan to reflect a change in trends and conditions.
3. To prepare appropriate amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and
implementation of ordinances to reflect any changes in the City
Council's development policies with respect to new developments or a
misunderstanding of the implications of the Plan upon adoption.
4. To develop plans and policies at a micro -level.
Work Completed:
All applications submitted have been reviewed on a timely basis as
submitted. This activity is an ongoing function of this decision unit.
Review of the new zoning ordinance is nearly completed by the Planning and
Zoning Commission. The completion of the new zoning ordinance and
subsequent holding of public hearings both await the comments resultant of
the legal staff's review. The Melrose Corridor Committee will be
completing their task in the third quarter and forwarding their recommen-
dations to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The annexation study is
expected to be reviewed by the Commission in the third quarter.
Analysis:
Subdivision plat submissions, rezoning applications, Large Scale
Residential and Non -Residential Development plans have been reviewed to
determine whether proposed developments are consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and ordinance requirements. This review and processing
has been done in a timely manner.
The vacant Planner Program Analyst I position of this decision unit (vacant
nearly one year) was recently filled (2/9/81) and results in bringing this
division to full staffing. Future work activities will involve the
development of new subdivision regulations and the micro -analysis of
problem areas and developing areas of the community.

MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES
DEPARTMENT: PLANNING & PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
DECISION U141T: ADMINISTRATION QUARTER: SECOND
Fiscal Year Objectives:
1. To enable all decision units within the department to meet their
objectives as enumerated in their decision packages and to promote a
higher level of supervisory and administrative performance by all
division heads (throughout the year).
2. To ensure that all federal program requirements are met in a timely
manner.
3. To provide for the effective implementation of the Comprehensive Plan by
fostering the adoption of a new set of subdivision regulations (October
1980).
4. To efficiently prepare, research and background reports and analyses
for various ad hoc projects as assigned by the City Manager or as
requested by boards, commissions, or the City Council (within
prescribed time frames)..
Work Completed and Analysis:
Departmental policies have been instituted with a high degree of success.
Emphasis has been placed on both formal and informal communications, a high
degree of accessibility to managerial staff, utilizing expertise within the
department to the utmost, and meeting deadlines prescribed for long and
short-range projects and activities. The resultant effect is a higher level
of supervisory and administrative performance within the department in
meeting objectives within a timely manner.
A draft set of subdivision regulations for effective implementation of the
Comprehensive Plan have been prepared by the Plan Administration Division.
Review and ultimate adoption of the regulations has been preempted due to the
unexpected delay in the Planning and Zoning Commission's review of the new
proposed Zoning Ordinance. It is anticipated that the Commission will
undertake the review of the subdivision regulations in the fourth quarter of
this fiscal year.

Mass -Transit Riders Are Facing Prospect
Of Higher Fares to Keep Systems Running
By ALBmar R. KARR
SWrynepaner of TIM WAW S"n JO"NAL
To the Itst of Inflation horrors, add this:
the Sl bus fare.
For years, massdranslt systems have
been trying to lure riders by keeping bus
and subway fares low. They did so with the
help of generous subsidies from federal,
state and local governments.
But theme subsidies are drying up fast,
the victim of wholesale budget -cutting at
all government levels. As fuel, wage and
other costs haven't slowed their Increase,
transit officials are looking to passengers to
make up all or most of the operating deft -
tits.
In less than a year, riders In Miami,
Fla.; Pittsburgh, and Washington have been
hit with a pair of increases that raised the
basic fare 50%. Atlantan now pay double
the 25 cents that prevailed for seven years
until mid-1990. The tariff In Chicago went
from 60 cents to So cents on Jan. 1. Cities
omddering fare Increases In the months
ahead Include New York, Atlanta, Chicago,
and Battle Creek, Nab.
"You're on the verge of a $l base fare In
many cities;'.says Jack Glletrap, executive
vice president of the Wuhingta 7• L
American Public Transit Association.
Reagan's Stand
That dommn't seem to bother the Reagan
administration. The adminlstratlon's budget
cab for phasing out federal transit operat.
Ing subsidies, now about $l billion annuily,
over the next five years. An administration
document says that as the cat of operating
private cars goes up, "transit fares could be
raised considerably to cover the lam of fed•
eral subsidies without losing many patrons."
The General Accosting Office agrees. In
a report on transit subeldles Issued late last
month, the GAO said most fares are "Un-
realistically low." It urged Congress to re-
consider a 1911 finding that continued fare
Increases were undesirable.
Transit managers reluctantly agree they
must cover more of their expenses from the
firebox, but some think they'll lose riders In
the process. Birmingham, Ala., suspended
its bus service March 2 after a 20 -cent In-
crease to 80 cents last fail reduced ridership
and failed to stem heavy losses.
But most transit experts thlak this Is an
extreme case. Making passengers pay more

chusetts Bay Transportation Authority.
The Idea has already taken root. In Mi -
and. the basic bus fare rose from 60 cents to
60 cents lut November, and then to 76 cents
on Jan. 1 atter the state failed to supply
hoped-for funds. Increases In Washington,
Pittsburgh, and Chicago came when local
governments or state legislators gave less
money than the transit systems wanted. Chi-
cago's *cent fare appears headed for $l by
August unless the Illinois legislature pro -
.Ides more aid.

Jumped to 35 cents. "We wl1 probably be In•
creasing fares again July 1;' says Wayne
Wiley, the city's transit manager. Canton.
Ohio, had held Its fare at 30 cents for more
than a decade "as an Inducement to get peo-
ple to ride public transportation." says Rob-
ert Kessler, manager of the regional transit
authority. But the fare went to 10 cents a
year ago, and the Reagan subsidy -cutting
plan makes another Increase "very poral-
.ble;'says Mr. Kessler.
Recent figures of the American Public
Transit Association show that people aren't
swarming toward public transit as before.
Total ridership In 1980 rose Just 1.20/c after
larger gains In the four preceding years.
Transit officials blame the slowdown on
fares, which rose an average 1101. last year,
far faster than the average 17. annual rise
between 1975.79. Meanwhile, the costs of op
eratiaf braes and subways has accelerated;
coats nationwide rose 15.5176 last year com-
pared to about 7% In 1977.
Cents Harts
Fuel and wages are the major Items.
Diesel fuel cats $1.07 a gallon, up from just
39 cents a gallon three years ago, notes Wil -
Ham Sttine, deputy director of Florida's
Dade County (li lam) Metro . Transit
Agency. And though basic wage Increases
haven't been murderous, automatic ceetof-
Hving raises are "killing us;' says Alan
Klepper, general manager of the Metropoll-
tan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority.
Defending his subsidy cup, Mr. Reagan
said this weekend In New York that poor
people won't bear the brunt of the fare In.

rapid transit ... are middle-class or upper-
class people." Lots of low-income folks think
otherwise. Fare increases last year In toe

temporarily delayed by court actions in
suits brought by Al -income riders.
