MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 17, 1981
TO: City Council
FROM: Robert W. Jansen
RE: lielble subdivision
We have received a request from the attorney for the owner of traCtLY1
located in the Helble Subdivision which is located outside of the City,
but within the two mile limit. The purpose of the resolution is to
give assurances to the attorney for the owner that the City will not
take action for failure to properly subdivide in that the City was never
consulted about the plat nor had the City approved same as required by
Chapter 409 of the Iowa Code. This is an old subdivision and the Council
took similar action within the past year in the Hershberger Subdivision.
The purpose of the resolution and the authorization for me to send the
letter to the owner's attorney is to remove a cloud upon the title.
Should the Council have any questions, I will be available at the in-
formal meeting on November 23rd to answer same along with the attorney
for the owner.

Mr. James R. Keele
Attorney at Law
Keele $ Keele, P.C.
104 East Third Street
West Liberty, Iowa 52776
Re: Tract No. 1 as shown and described on plat recorded in Plat Book
14, page 64, Plat Records of Johnson County, Iowa, situated in
Section 26, Township 80 North, Range 6 West of the 5th P.M.
Dear Mr. Keele:
This letter is to advise you of the position of the City of Iowa
City with respect to the above property. It is our understanding that
this property is a part of the subdivision of land that has not been
properly subdivided in accordance with Chapter 409 of the Code of Iowa
in that the City of Iowa City has not been consulted about the plat nor
approved the same as required by Chapter 409.
The City Council of Iowa City has authorized me to advise you that
the City has no plans to attack the issuance of building permits for the
above described property either now or in the future nor does it intend
to attack the legal description used to describe the same.
The City is concerned about the fact that a subdivision of land
did take place in violation apparently of the provisions of Chapter 409
of the Code of Iowa and also perhaps in violation of the provisions of
the Johnson County Zoning Ordinance. The assurances given in this letter
should not be considered as approval by the City of such conveyances and
subdivision of land nor should it be considered as any type of precedent
in connection with future situations of this sort. Indeed, the City will
in all probability take an active role in trying to make sure that all
applicable regulations and laws have been complied with in connection
with subdivisions of land both within and without the City over which
the City has control.
However, with respect to the particular property described above,
the City Council does not intend any action with respect thereto.

Very truly yours,

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
During the last year community development planning staff has identified
neighborhoods within Iowa City with concentrations of low and moderate income
households and significant community development needs. The City's Committee on
Community Needs (CCN), after reviewing the problems of each of these
neighborhoods and conducting several public hearings and neighborhood meetings,
decided that CDBG funds should be spent in four neighborhoods on high priority
projects such as housing rehabilitation, energy conservation, housing code
enforcement, and Ralston Creek improvements. In addition to the neighborhood
projects CCN also identified important community -wide development needs, such
as the acquisition of sites for public housing. The entire process of analyzing
neighborhood conditions, identifying high priority projects, selecting programs
for funding, and approving the CDBG program by the City Council took more than
five months. The objectives of the proposed 1982 CDBG program can be stated as
follows:
TO COMPLETE THE LOWER RALSTON CREEK FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT.
2. TO CONTINUE THE CITY'S EFFORT TO PRESERVE AND REHABILITATE .ITS OLDER
HOUSING UNITS THROUGH ITS HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM.
3. TO SPEED THE CONSTRUCTION OF ASSISTED HOUSING UNITS BY PURCHASING PARCELS
OF LAND SUITABLE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF LOW INCOME HOUSING.
4. . TO VIGOROUSLY SUPPORT THE HOUSING INSPECTION PROGRAM.
5. TO CONTINUE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING ACTIVITIES WITH A SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON
THE NEEDS OF THE CITY'S OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS.
6. TO EXPAND THE CITY'S EFFORTS TO PLAN FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
7. TO EFFICIENTLY ADMINISTER CDBG ACTIVITIES.

Lower Ralston Creek Improvements
During the past three years the City of Iowa City has targeted its COBG funds in
the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Strategy Area. The long term objectives of
these expenditures have been to:
-Eliminate the threat of flooding in the Lower Ralston Creek neighborhood by
constructing channel improvements designed to contain 100 year frequency
floods throughout the reaches of the project area.
-Reduce flooding in Iowa City's central neighborhoods by constructing flood
improvements in the Lower Ralston Creek NSA.
-Eliminate the health and safety hazards of substandard housing units by
relocating Lower Ralston Creek residents to decent, safe and sanitary
housing units in non -flood prone areas.
-Eliminate blight in the neighborhood by rehabilitating structures with
CDBG and Section 312 funds.
-Assemble fragmented parcels of land for commercial use. Parcels of land
which have been acquired will be combined and sold for redevelopment,
.thereby insuring rational land use.
The remaining objectives of the program, to be carried out in 1982, are:
-To widen and stabilize the Ralston Creek channel in order to provide
sufficient capacity to contain 100 year floods throughout the channel reach
from Harrison Street to Kirkwood Avenue.
-To prepare a site suitable for assisted housing.
-To rehabilitate four owner -occupied homes.
These activities will complete planned activities in the Lower Ralston Creek
neighborhood and are budgeted for $330,500.
Housing Rehabilitation and Weatherization
The City of Iowa City will continue its effort to preserve the housing stock of
its older neighborhoods by making funds available for housing rehabilitation.
These funds will be targeted to four older neighborhoods most in need of
assistance. Housing rehabilitation and weatherization activities will receive
$129,000 in CDBG funds.
Public Housing Site Acquisition
Suitable sites for assisted housing are scarce in Iowa City. In order to speed
the construction of assisted housing, CDBG funds are needed to purchase suitable
parcels of land and to make necessary public improvements (sidewalks, sewers,
etc.) to these sites. In this application $75,000 has been budgeted for the
acquisition and improvement of sites for assisted housing.

Housing Code Enforcement
During the past 20 years population increases and the decrease in the average
household size have combined to drastically increase the demand for rental
housing. In 1975 the rental vacancy rate in Iowa City was estimated to be only
.98%. Given the heavy demand for rental housing, many landlords choose not to
invest in their properties. The housing code enforcement program will insure
that landlords properly maintain their properties.
During 1982 $12,000 has been budgeted to insure strict compliance with the City
housing code in four neighborhoods.
Community Development Planning
During the past year community development planning activities have
concentrated on Iowa City's neighborhoods. Neighborhood and comprehensive
planning activities will continue in 1982 at a cost of $26,924.
Economic Development Planning
The purpose of the economic development planning program will be to develop a
set of short and long term economic development policy alternatives for
consideration by the City Council. While the planning will concentrate on
community -wide issues such as employment, resource productivity, and housing,
economic development program alternatives for specific geographic areas such as
the downtown and neighborhoods will also be studied. Coordination of activities
with the University of Iowa, local business organizations, and other interested
parties will also be an objective of the City's economic development planning
program. CDBG funds will be used to fund $5,080 of the expense of the City's
economic development planning staff.
General Program Administration
Monitoring program activities, recordkeeping, insuring compliance with
regulations, coordinating activities, and citizen participation will require
$106,493 in program funds.
Contingency
A contingency of $13,403 is reserved for planned activities.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this manual is to set forth the policies by which all
personnel -related decisions, made by either supervisor or employee, will
be guided. A policy is not a rule or a procedure - specific rules and
procedures may be found in negotiated labor contracts and in operating
procedures published by the Human Relations Department and other City
departments - but rather a guide to thinking and decision-making. These
policies define the area within which decisions should be made, and
guarantee that the decision made will be in line with overall City goals
regarding employee relations. Policies provide for necessary flexibility
within a framework of guidance that will assure consistency in personnel
decisions.
ADMINISTRATION
These policies shall cover all City employees, except that temporary
employees may not be covered by all provisions. Iowa City Public Library
employees are excluded.
Questions of interpretation should be addressed to the Human Relations i
Department. The City Manager or designee shall be responsible for the
final interpretation of the application of these policies to issues which
are not specifically covered by using the principles expressed herein as a
guide.
All permanent employees of the City shall be furnished a copy of the City
Personnel Policies upon appointment, and shall be advised of any changes
or amendments. _

Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is a form of employee misconduct which undermines the
integrity of the employment relationship. Sexual harassment is
deliberate or repeated unsolicited verbal comments, questions,
representations or physical contacts of an intimate sexual nature which
are unwelcome to the recipient. Sexual harassment can take the form of
making or threatening to make decisions affecting an employee's job on the
basis of an acceptance or refusal of a request for sexual intimacy.
Sexual harassment can also take the form of conduct that has the purpose
or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's work
performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work
environment.
Sexual harassment is unacceptable conduct in any form, and can be a basis
for a sex discrimination charge. Employees who engage in sexual
harassment can expect serious disciplinary action.
All City employees have an affirmative duty to prevent sexual harassment
in the workplace by producing an environment that exposes and discourages
sexual harassment of all kinds.
Complaint Procedure
The City is receptive to receiving complaints of sexual harassment or
denial of civil rights and appropriate action will be taken. Employees
charging sexual harassment or denial of their civil rights may use
grievance procedures outlined in the City's Affirmative Action Plan or may
appeal informally to appropriate and impartial supervisors and to the
Human Relations Department.

City of Iowa Cif"
MEMORANDUM
Date: November 20, 1981
To: Neal Berlin, City Manager
From: Joe Fowler, 'Parking Systems Supervisor
Re: Security Duties Performed by Maintenance Workers
In addition to performing their scheduled maintenance duties, the night
maintenance workers in parking perform limited security duties. They
patrol the interior of the ramps, make bank deposits, and monitor vehicles
as they exit.
When a problem develops at one of the ramps the maintenance workers notify
the Iowa City Police Department by radio and advise them of the situation.
They report the incident, describe the individuals involved, and give the
direction of travel. Seldom do the maintenance workers actually stop
individuals for occurrences. Their role is mainly to observe and report.
On November 20th, I checked with Captain Strand, shift commander of the
11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. shift at the Iowa City Police Department. After
checking with his sergeants, he advised that to date the night maintenance
workers at the parking ramps are doing a very good job. He stated that
they provide them with the information they need to perform their duties.
He also stated that he heard other police officers state that they
preferred City staff to private security.
I daily check with the Iowa City Police Department records room to get all
police reports of problems involving the parking ramps. Almost all
incidents occur Thursday through Saturday nights and increase if there is
a home football game. Vandalism and theft are the main problems. This
appears to reflect the trend of crimes committed in the CBD.
The advantage of using City staff over private security is the additional
work output. In the past when we have employed private security they
performed the same duties as our workers now do, but they did nothing
else. Our employees perform cashier and cleaning duties while providing
the same level of security. We have not used private security personnel
for the past 11 months and we have seen no change in the activities in the
parking ramps.
