Dear Council Member:
As you know, the meeting with our local legislators, originally
scheduled for November 22nd, has now been re -scheduled for 10:00
a.m. Saturday, December 13, 1980.

The JCCOG is sponsoring this first meeting. Invitations are being
sent to all area legislators and we hope to have many attend. In
order to make this meeting meaningful, I urge you to come and to meet
the new and re-elected legislators. I feel that it is important for
community leaders to establish contact with their legislators; this
meeting will be one opportunity to show the legislators that we,
indeed, wish to help them make decisions.
In case you have specific items to discuss, kindly call Karin
Franklin, 354-1800, ext. 312, by December 8, 1980.

RECOMMENDATION
DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE
DECEMBER 4, 1980
RECREATION CENTER, ROOM A
MEMBERS PRESENT: Wockenfuss, Lilly, Lafore, Summerwill, Alexander.
MEMBERS ABSENT: Seiberling, Haupert, Sinek, Wegman.
STAFF PRESENT: Hauer, Chiat, Tyler.
GUESTS PRESENT: Don Scatena and Jack Klaus, Old Capitol Center
Partners; Curt Seifert, Press -Citizen; Lyle Muller,
Daily Iowan.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY'COUNCIL:
Representatives from Old Capitol Center Partners presented preliminary
design plans for the Old Capitol Center logo. After discussion, the
Design Review Committee made the following recommendation to the City
Council:
That the Design Review Committee sets out the following reservations
concerning the Old Capitol Center logo:
1. That a deeper shade of blue in the arch would be more satisfactory,
and
2. That the letter style, to an extent, lacks sufficient legibility;
nevertheless, the Committee recommends the approval of the concept of the
logo design.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Don Scatena, representing Old Capitol Center Partners, stated that he had
met with the designers for Old Capitol Center and relayed the Committee's
concerns to them. The main areas discussed were the complete redesign of
the logo, color variations, and changing letter styles. He reported that
the designer took, the position that the logo as originally designed was
preferable to the Committee's suggestions. He pointed out that under the
concept of the logo that the curved arch reappeared throughout the entire
design of the shopping center. To illustrate his point, he presented two
des.ign sketches of the center's interior. In the area of color variation,
he pointed out that blue tile will be used as feature strips in the
center's interior. He also stated that the designer had been opposed to
changing the letter style to Helvetica because of the serif features of
the logo design.

Members of the Committee responded that they had no objections to the
design itself and that they would not request a developer to redesign a
logo at such an advanced stage. In fact, they felt the design was
attractive. Their objections were with the color. Specifically, they
objected to the shade of blue. Members ascertained that other shades of
blue are available. Scatena rejoined that this particular shade was felt
to be the most complimentary. Members further ascertained that a
different shade of blue will be used in the tile which will form the
feature strip in the interior. They pointed out that the sign could be
made the same darker color which would be more attractive and more
consistent with the shopping center itself. Scatena stated that he had to
respect the designer's opinion on color. He stated that HSA of Chicago
had designed Younker's and the interior of the shopping center as well as
the exterior signage and they were concerned with keeping the design
consistent.
Scatena pointed out that the blue in the logo would be the only color in
the building's signage during the day.
Members stated frankly that they felt the blue color was tacky and plastic
looking and undercut the general good design of the structure itself.
Wockenfuss stated that a gold arch or a painted blue arch, with back
lighting which matched the interior tile, would be much richer looking.
Wockenfuss added that the Committee had recommended a different letter
style because they felt it was more readable, however, it was the
builder's choice if they desired a less legible sign. He stated that the
Committee also had recommended a different color to avoid the garish look
of the bright blue. He opined that it was a mistake to use the process
blue which would cheapen the look of the building. Other members stated
that they feared people would tire of the color.
Alexander moved that the Committee express their thanks for Old Capitol
Center Partners' efforts to reach a compromise with the designer and for
their presentations to the Committee, and the Committee recommends to
Council the acceptance of the proposed Old Capitol Center logo.
The motion died for lack of a second.
Members stated that they did not feel they could recommend the logo
without qualification. They did not want to put their stamp of approval
on a sign to which they had objections. Wockenfuss added that he felt the
designer should have actually made a design based on the Committee's
recommendations in order to allow the developer to objectively choose
between the two designs. Scatena rejoined that he felt the designer had
given an honest reaction to the Committee's suggestions.
Members were somewhat divided on the issue of lettering. Alexander felt
rather strongly that Lubalin should not be used, whereas Summerwill stated
that she had no real objections; although the Helvetica was more readable.

MEMORANDUM
Date: November 20, 1980
To: City Manager and City Council
From: Jim Hencin, CDBG Program Coordinator
Bette Meisel, Senior Center Coordinator $
Re: Office Space for City Employees in Senior Center
In May of this year you accepted bids for remodeling the Senior Center. You
also agreed to accept the alternate for completion of the third floor at a
cost of $27,000. The reasoning was that since the bids came in lower than
expected, and since there were funds available to cover the additional work,
it would be cost effective to spend the money now. It has been established
that only one room on the third floor would be needed at this time for the
Senior Center Program. However, our projection was that in three to five
years the program will develop to the point that the remaining rooms would be
needed for classroom and office space.
Rather than leave almost an entire floor vacant for this period, we conceived
the idea of using the vacant office space to house all City employees now
located at the Davis Building. However, since the major portion of the
funding for the remodeling of the Senior Center is being paid for with CDBG
money, the City cannot use this space for non -Senior Center programs and
personnel without cost. There are two possible solutions to this problem:
a. Additional CDBG money could be allocated to pay for carpeting, blinds
and electrical outlets. The Senior Center would then rent the space to
the City. The rent money would then go back into the CDBG fund to be
used for other projects.
b. The City could pay for the remodeling of the second floor ($27,000 plus
carpeting, blinds, partitions and electrical outlets) out of local
funds and pay no rent for the use of this space.
To evaluate the suggested solutions, you need to take the following facts
into account:
1. The average annual cost per square foot of the Davis Building is $5.28
or $24,096.60 per year. This price includes heat and hot and cold
water. It does not include electricity or janitorial services.
2. The Davis Building is neither energy effective nor handicapped
accessible.
3. The contract for the Davis Building is renegotiable each year. Thus, we
can expect to pay an increase in rent each year.
4. Using the new federal post office as comparable quality space as will be
available in the Senior Center, we find that the cost is $7.50 per
square foot per year. This cost includes all utilities and janitorial
services. Furthermore, it is handicapped accessible.

5. Using the $7.50 per square foot per year figure as the fair market price
for rental of the Senior Center space (approximately 3,094 sq. ft.), the
cost to the City per year would be $23,205. This includes all utilities
and janitorial service.
6. If the City were to pay the entire cost of remodeling the third floor of
the Senior Center (approximately $52,887.16), it would amortize its
investment in two years and then enjoy one to three years of rent free
usage. (See attached memo).

Senior Center 5.87 3,094 1.00 .63 Yes
1. 3,580 sq. ft. on first and second floors at $5.64.
800 sq. ft. on third floor at $4.92.
2. This includes hallway and restrooms.
Davis Building
The figure for electricity is an estimate as only 1978 figures are
available. The figure for janitorial services is figured at $5.50 per hour,
seven hours per week.
Senior Center
The figure for utilities is based on estimates obtained last year from
Iowa -Illinois, etc. The figure for janitorial helpis based on a Maintenance
Worker II at $6.28 per hour and a temporary employee at $3.50 per hour pro
rated for the amount of space on the third floor.

MEMORANDUM
Date: November 20, 1980
To: City Manager and City Council
From: Bette Meisel, Senior Center Coordiantor y
Re: Cost of Remodeling Third Floor Senior Center
.In order to efficiently utilize the third floor of the Senior Center for
Offices for City employees, four additional expenses have to be considered:
floor treatment, window treatment, partitions and electrical work.
Windows - New windows are being installed as part of the original bid.
However, all 47 windows will need to be covered for light and energy control.
To be consistent with the rest of the building louvre blinds would be
installed. The following price is an estimate and includes installation.
47 windows - $4,526.84
Carpet na - The existing floors are covered with tile. Because the ceilings
are high and all surfaces presently have no sound absorbing qualities,
carpeting is necessary to make this a quiet work environment. The carpeting
used would have to have the same fire resistant qualities as that used on the
other floors. The following price includes installation, but does not reflect
inflation.
344 square yards at $12.90/yard - $4,437.60
Partitions - the offices on this floor provide spaces for 2-7 persons per
area. For a productive work environment spaces need to be compartmentalized.
69 panels and fittings - $7,847.80
Elec_ trical - The present offices have 1 electrical outlet per office whether
there is space for one employee or 7 employees within that space. They also
have only one overhead lighting fixture. We requested a price for 1
additional double convenience electrical outlet per employee. We will thus
have the capability of handling desk lamps and calculators.
31 duplex electrical outlets - $4,267
Cost of remodeling Senior Center third floor:
Basic work - $27,000:00
Windows - 4,526.84
Carpet - 4,437:60
Partitions - 7,847.80
Electrical - 4 267.00

To: City Manager and City Council
From: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance
Re: Purchase of Outstanding Water Revenue Bonds
I have authorized the purchase of $17,000 of Water Revenue Bonds
which are being offered for sale by the bond holder. When the Water
Revenue Bond and Interest Reserve Funds has an excess balance, the
bond resolution states that the excess maybe used to call (purchase)
any outstanding bonds.
$12,000 of the bonds are being purchased at a price of 92 and accrued
interest and $5,000 of the bonds are being purchased at a price of 87
and accrued interest. Total cost of this purchase equals $15,390
plus the accrued interest. By calling these bonds before their
maturity date, the City will save $1,610 in principle payments and
$1,473 in interest payments (the bonds maturity dates were
December 1, 1982 and December 1, 1983). Total savings to the City
is $3,083.
If the City did not purchase the outstanding bonds with the excess
fund balance, a bondholder would have the right to come in and force
the City to purchase outstanding bonds at par plus accrued interest.
It is to the City's advantage to purchase outstanding bonds when they
are offered for sale by a bondholder as this enables the City to
purchase at a price less than par value.

Dear Mr. Berlin:
As the installation date far the city computing system approches
and the involvement of the Weeg Computing Center draws to a close, '1'
want to say how pleasant and enlightening it was to work with Rosemary'
Vitosh, Cathy Eisenhofer, and Monica Uthe during the specification and
acquisition phases of the computer project. These days many people
complain about inefficiencies in government administration at all
levels. I think these complaints arise, in large part, from people
who have little or no appreciation for what it takes to make it all
work! My association with the city these past months has made me
aware of some of the many problems and challenges you face. I am
pleased, as a taxpayer, that the city has such capable and dedicated
employees as Rosemary, Cathy, and Monica. I am sure with their support
and your leadership the new computer system will meet your expectations.

I. 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.

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:
The compilation of the building energy use data was completed and the
computer analysis will be completed during October.
A cost estimate was obtained, from Sta-Fed, on a new motor vehicle
printout showing fuel use by fuel type for each division. They quoted
$1,050 for the programming alone and this will wait until the City's
in-house computer is available.
The conversion Of 18 vehicles to compressed natural gas was reviewed:
21 month payback and net yearly benefit of $35,000.
- Federal funding sources for the compressed natural gas
were investigated; none available. conversion
The generation of methane at the new pollution control plant, for use
in the natural gas vehicles, was investigated; too expensive;
pelletizing the sludge and burning it in a solid waste incineration
plant looks more feasible.
The question of whether the City could switch motor fuel suppliers,
because of price differences, without jeopardizing the base period

Analysis:
the building energy audits are behind schedule, due to a variety of
reasons: primarily, the delay in the solar grant project, the special
questions raised concerning the motor vehicle fuel, and the problems with
the State's energy audit grant program. The energy audits are expected to
begin in November. Because of the problems with the State's energy audit
grant program (they lost the City's information), technical audits of the
buildings are in doubt. There may be another grant cycle this fiscal year

Analysis
Item 4. tells the story. following cutbacks in services and staff
for FY1981, the unexpected loss of (York/Study staff and a sudden increase
in demand for all services has left the library staff uneasy about their
ability to stretch resources to move and initiate services in the new
building. Without the staff time reassigned due to automating basic opera-
tions, the library would now be in critical condition.

MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES
DEPARTMENT: PLANNING & PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
DECISION UNIT: PLAN ADMINISTRATION QUARTER: FIRST
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 of development may have upon the Comprehensive Plan; and
(b) maintaining a current data base with which to amend the
Comprehensive 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 and public hearings will be held in the second quarter of
FY81. Detail plans regarding traffic improvement alternatives in the
Melrose Avenue area have been forwarded to the Melrose Corridor Committee
for their consideration and recommendations. An update of the
Comprehensive Plan addressing the area in southwest Iowa City surrounding
the Freeway 518/Highway 1 interchange is being revised to reflect the City
Council's decision to extend sanitary sewer to the County Home. This
decision has resulted in a complete revision of the aforementioned report.
The annexation study is nearing completion and is expected to be forwarded
to the Planning & Zoning Commission for their review upon completion of
their work on the new zoning ordinance.
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 Planner Program Analyst II of this decision unit was appointed as the
Acting Senior Planner and results in less staff support to this division's
activities. A reduced work program maybe required as an alternative to
filling the vacant position. Future work activities will. involve the
development of new subdivision regulations and the micro -analysis of
problem areas and developing areas of the community.

NEWSLETTER
For Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood
FALL 1980
Update on Activities in the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood
Acquisition
Acquisition of property in the area is proceeding on schedule. To date we have
acquired or completed negotiations on all but one of the Phase I properties, and
all but two of the Phase II properties. The first appraisals of Phase III
properties are complete, and review appraisals will probably occur during the
second week of December, with purchase offers being made about the middle of
January, 1981. At that time we will also contact all Phase III residents and
businesses to give them all possible help in relocating.
2. Relocation
To date six home owners have relocated to new homes in the Iowa City area, and all
of them seem pleased with their new property. In addition, two tenant families
have made use of the downpayment provisions of the relocation benefits, and have
bought their first homes. Five other tenants and their families have moved to
new houses or apartments.
Of the seven businesses relocated to date, three have received moving expenses
and four have received payments "in lieu of" moving expenses. These payments
which range from the minimum of $2,500 to a maximum of $10,000, depending on the
net average annual income of the business, are made if the business is not part of
a commercial enterprise having another establishment in the area, and if the
business can show substantial loss of patronage through the relocation.
3. Engineering Design for Ralston Creek Improvements
Contracts have been signed with two engineering firms to do all the necessary
investigations, designs and specifications for the proposed Ralston Creek
improvements.
Shoemaker & Haaland, Professional Engineers, Inc., will be in charge of the base
mapping of the area and channel design. This firm will also draw up plans and
specifications for the Benton Street culvert, Benton Street pavement,
improvements to the Prentiss Street bridge, lift stations at Benton Street and
sheetpiling at the National Copy Center.
Shive Hattery & Associates will be carrying out the hydrological (water flow)
analysis and analyzing the soils. This firm will also be responsible for the
design, plans and specifications for rebuilding the Lafayette Street railroad
trestle.
These two firms have begun work, and will have designs and specifications ready
so that construction can begin in the spring of 1981.
Questions?
If you have any questions about the project in general or how you will be affected in
particular, please do not hesitate to write or call Marianne Milkman, Department of
Planning and Program Development, 410 E. Washington Street, Iowa City, Iowa 52240,
354-1800, Extension 312.
Act Ionl
You will have noticed that a number of houses in the area have already been
demolished and the land cleared and filled. This process will continue this
winter and spring.
The huge trenches you may have seen near the Benton Street bridge recently, were
made by the Iowa/Illinois Gas & Electric Company. This company has now completed
the moving and reburying of a large gas line in the area. It was necessary to
move this line in order to have room for the proposed additional culvert under
the Benton Street bridge, and for channel widening.
Grant Application
In October, 1980, we submitted a grant application to the Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) for funding of the third year of the Lower Ralston
Creek Neighborhood Revitalization Project. We requested $770,000 to be spent
almost entirely on design and construction of the Ralston Creek improvements. We
expect to hear whether HUD has approved this grant sometime in December. At this
time we do not anticipate any problems with funding.

From: Hugh Mose, Transit Manager
Re: Washington Street Stop Sign
Ever since Madison Street reopened I have been working with Jim
Brachtel, Traffic Engineer, trying to pursuade him to remove the stop
sign at the foot of the Washington Street hill. Just when we finally
seemed on the verge of agreement, several drivers appeared at a City
Council meeting to demand the stop sign be immediately removed. This
action has caused the Traffic Engineer to take a hard line, and to
insist that the stop sign stay posted.
Although I understand the Traffic Engineer's reasoning, I remain
unconvinced. Because the buses must slow to 5-10 mph to round the
corner, the stop sign does not seem to represent any great increase
in pedestrian safety. Furthermore, a simple "vehicles approaching
from the right (left) do not stop" sign beneath the stop signs on
Madison street should alleviate the drivers' expectation problem.
to The Transit position is that year -around the stop sign is detrimental
Coralville Transitsmooth andon of Cambus)tonnsit buses the Washingtonwa CitStre ty Hill. OTransitn
those infrequent occasions when the hill is so icy a bus descending
cannot stop, the stop sign could lead to a disaster. Therefore we
would like it removed.
However, if the stop sign is retained, the Transit Division will take
the following action:
1. As soon as construction is complete on the new shopping mall, we
will move
Street and other by ravoid Hthe eWashingtonrStreetuhill. Markt
arktIV
and Manville Heights will be the only Iowa City Transit routes
still encountering the stop sign.
2. Bus drivers will be reinstructed to avoid the Washington Street
hill whenever the street is slippery by detouring via Capitol,
Burlington, and Madison Streets. This detour is already one of
the alternative routes given to drivers during their initial
training, and this detour has routinely been used under adverse
conditions in the past.
These two actions should alleviate our most pressing concerns.

2. The geometric changes which have taken place at the intersection of
Washington Street/Madison Street would indicate through the using
driver that Madison Street is the principal street. In fact,
Washington Street will appear to be a minor feeder street onto the
Madison Street facility. The average driver would be surprised if he
is required to yield the right-of-way to vehicles entering the
intersection from the east leg. Therefore, it was felt that a four-
way stop installation would more properly meet driver expectation at
this intersection.
BUS DRIVERS REQUEST
The bus drivers have indicated that they would desire to have the stop
sign on the east leg of this intersection removed. They claim that during
the winter months when snow and ice is present that they are unable to
stop a bus when it is moving down Washington Street. I would suggest that
it is highly improper to create a less than desirable situation simply for
the few snow days during the year when the Washington Street hill may be
slippery. It should be noted that the Streets Division is keenly aware of
the difficulties of these hills in the event of an ice or snow condition.
The Washington Street hill, along with other hills, has been put on a
priority rating and will receive first -call attention for either sanding,
salting or plowing in the event of inclement weather. It is my opinion
that it is extremely inappropriate to create a less than optimum
intersectional control situation for a small number of inclement weather
days during the year.
The bus drivers have also indicated that they feel a second reason for
this request is that previously the east leg of this intersection was
uncontrolled. They reason then that it should revert to that condition.
As noted above, geometric conditions at this intersection have changed
since last year and these changes would suggest that the installation of
the stop signs on the eastern leg is appropriate.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. . The stop sign be left in place on the east leg of the intersection of
Washington Street/Madison Street.
2. If the bus drivers have difficulty stopping the buses on snow and ice
days then provisions be made to alter the route and deter around the
Washington Street hill using Capitol Street to Burlington Street,
and then either the Burlington Street river crossing or north on
Madison Street to the Iowa Street river crossing.
3. If it is the opinion of the bus drivers that stopping on the
Washington Street hill is in deed difficult at all times, then I
would suggest that the routes be permanently removed from the
Washington Street hill and the routes rerouted to avoid the
Washington Street hill.

Re:

Neal Berlin, City Manager
James Brachtel, Traffic Engineer
Stop Sign Installation - East Leg of Washington Street/Madison
Street
At the regular meeting of the City Council on Tuesday, 18 November 1980,
bus drivers appeared before the Council objecting to the establishment of
a stop sign on the east leg of the intersection of Washington Street/
Madison Street. The bus drivers requested that this stop sign be removed
for two primary reasons. This memo is to respond to that request from the
bus drivers.
BACKGROUND
Some three or four years ago University of Iowa President Willard Boyd
approached the City Council and requested that stop signs be installed at
Jefferson and Madison and at Washington and Madison so as to provide
college -aged students and staff a margin of safety in crossing at these
two intersections. The City Council concurred in President Boyd's
assessment of the situation and directed that a four-way stop be installed
at Jefferson Street/Madison Street and improved conditions be implemented
at Washington Street/Madison Street. The intent of the City Council and
President Boyd was to protect the large number of pedestrians crossing at
these two intersections. It should be noted that the number of
pedestrians using these two intersections has not decreased in the
intervening years.
Ih the summer of 1980 in conjunction with the sewer corridor project,
Madison Street and Washington Street were repaved due to new dimensions
and new alignments. While Madison Street has retained its four -lane
characteristic at both the Jefferson Street/Madison Street intersection
and the Washington Street/Madison Street intersection, the width of
Washington Street has been changed. Specifically, Washington Street has
been narrowed from a facility which permitted parking on both sides with
two extremely wide driving lanes to a paving width of 31 feet.
NEW SIGN PLACEMENT
Upon the completion of the paving effort and opening to vehicular traffic,
it was determined that Washington Street/Madison Street would be made a
four-way stop. This decision was based upon two principal factors.
1. The number of pedestrians using this intersection has not decreased
since Council determined that pedestrian crossing should be
protected at this location.

League '80-'81 legislative policies
77ie League of Iowa Alunicipallties presents this statement
of policy as. an expression of the needs of the more than two
million Iowans living in municipalities. 7711s statement of
legislative policy represents the philosophy of efflcient and
cost-effective local government In which citizens and public
officials share the concern of providing necessary public
services at a reasonable cost.
I. FAIR PLAY. The legislature should enact legislation
requiring stale reimbursement f6r costs of implementing
state mandates imposed on cities by slate statutes or
administrative rules.
2. IIOME RULE. The legislature must resist Infringing upon
the right of self-determination granted to residents of Iowa
cities by the constitution and home rule law.
3. TAXATION. The legislature should promote strong local
government with sound taxation policies that allow cities
to determine the most efficient means of providing the
services demanded by the public by:
a. insuring that city programs and services receive an
equitable proportion of the state revenues generated
from cities.
b. enabling cities to utilize local option taxes.
c, examining the propriety of all present property tax
exemptions.
It. developing a uniform property tax assessment system
that Is easily understood and administered. Such a
system should make assessments equitable within and
and punitive damages that the state enjoys, the same
immunity on inspections that Insurance companies enjoy,
and revising a municipality's duties to defend and indemnify
its officers and employees.
6. LAW ENFORCEMENT. The legislature should promote
effective local law enforcement by:
a. funding the local cost of training Iowa law enforce-
ment officers.
b, evaluating the local cost/benefit relationship of utDiz-
Ing the unified law enforcement act.
c, enacting more stringent moped licensing provisions.
7. ROAD USE TAX. The legislature should make certain the
road use tax fund Is funded In a manner that will maintain
our road system through the imposition of an ad volarem
tax on all fuels, elimination of the gasohol exemption,
creation of new revenue sources, transfer of funds from
the state's. general fund, or any other appropriate means.
8. BETTER GOVERNMENT. The legislature should create
and adequately fund an Iowa Advisory Commission on
Intergovernmental Relations. Such a commission would
encourage more efficient government end more equitable
taxation through legislative and administrative recommen-
dations based on analysis of specific problems In the
complex interrelationships among governmental units.
9. EQUAL RIGHTS. The legislature should guarantee equal
rights under the law to all Iowa citizens.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 4, 1980
TO: City Council
FROM: Planning &.Zoning Commissi
RE: Use of a Lift Station for lFuure Developments in the
Oakes Drive Area
Dean Oakes has submitted an application to the City to develop 33
single family lots located off Oakes Drive extended. Because this
development is located in the Rapid Creek Watershed, it necessarily
requires provision of sewer service via the use of a lift station.
At one time, as proposed by the 1963 Sanitary Sewer Report submitted
by Veenstra & Kimm, this area was to be sewered by lift station and
use the Northeast Trunk Sewer. Subsequently, it has been City
Council policy that the City will neither allow nor accept any new
lift stations. This policy appears to be under consideration in
regards to the proposed Highlander lift station.
The Engineering Division has addressed the question of sewer capacity
and lift station use for the subject area and recommend against allow-
ing the developer to use capacity allocated to a different watershed
now being served by Northeast Trunk Sewer (see attached memorandum).
They recommend sewer service be provided to this area in conformance
with the 1979 Sanitary Sewage System Facility Plan prepared by
Veenstra & Kimn and adopted by the City Council. According to this
plan, in lieu of using the Northeast Trunk Sewer, Mr. Oakes should
seek sewer service from a different sanitary sewer system - the River
Corridor System. Therefore, development would not occur with City
sewer service in the immediate future and the preliminary plat of
Oakes Third Addition would need to be substantially revised to re-
flect either a septic system density or denied by this body because
of the lack of sewer service.
The Commission is interested as to whether or not the Council's
policy has changed regarding use of lift stations and particularly
in reference to the development of this area of the City. We re-
spectfully await your reply on this matter before further consid-
eration of the preliminary plat of Oakes Third Addition.

MEMORANDUM

From: Denny Gannon D&
Re: Dean Oakes Third Addition
In 1963, a Sanitary Sewer System Report was submitted by Veenstra & Kimm to
the City of Iowa City. In that report, it was stated that an area of 135 acres
located just south of Interstate 80 (which includes Dean Oakes Third Addition)
drains to the north and a pumping station would be required at the time of
development in order to provide sewer service. The station would discharge to
the Northeast Trunk Sewer. This trunk sewer would also serve an additional
1,300 acres of gravity flow besides the aforementioned 135 acres of pumped
flow.
Since this 1963 study, businesses located outside the Northeast Trunk Sewer
drainage area, as defined in the 1963 report, are now sewered by the Northeast
Trunk Sewer. The businesses include ACT, Howard Johnson's, Sinclair gas
station, and possibly in the future, the Highlander Inn. Therefore, with this
extra flow, the Northeast Trunk Sewer will not be able to sewer the entire
drainage area as defined in the 1963 report.
In 1979, another study was submitted by Veenstra & Kimm to the City of Iowa
City, entitled the Sanitary Sewerage System Facility Plan; it has been adopted
by the City Council. In this report, the 135 acre area (which includes Dean
Oakes Third Addition), which the 1963 study analyzed to be pumped into the
Northeast Trunk Sewer, now is to be sewered by gravity by an entirely
different sanitary sewer system - the River Corridor System.
The owner of Dean Oakes Third Addition has requested to sewer this sub-
division and future development to the north by a lift station, which would
pump to the Northeast Trunk Sewer. Engineering is hereby recommending against
the proposed lift station for the following reasons:
1. The 1963 study included a lift station in this area to be pumped into the
Northeast Trunk Sewer; however, since this report has been submitted,
previously mentioned businesses, located outside the 1963 drainage area
are now sewered by the Northeast Trunk Sewer, which therefore limits
capacity. The remaining capacity should be provided for areas which can
be sewered by gravity.
2. The 1979 study shows the area to be pumped, as defined in the 1963 study,
to be sewered by gravity by the River Corridor System.
3. The City's policy of late has been to avoid lift stations due to the
extensive maintenance problems involved with them.

Re:Sanitary Sewerage System Facility Plan
This Friday's information packet includes a memorandum from the Planning
and Zoning Commission requesting Council input regarding policy on the
present and future use of lift stations. Council has previously addressed
this issue both as it relates to specific requests for the approval of the
lift stations as well as in general terms as an overall policy matter.
You are being asked to respond to a question from the Planning and Zoning
Commission which we do not feel you should consider without having a more
comprehensive view of the entire 1979 Facility Plan and how it relates to
short-term and long-term development on the north side.
Please note that a time has been scheduled at your December 15, 1980,
informal session for discussion of this plan. Staff members from the Plan
Administration Division and the Engineering Division will review the
current plan with you. I am sure that you will find this information
extremely helpful as a basis for future decisions regarding both
residential and non-residential development and related sewerage
questions.

MEMORANDUM
Date: December 3, 1980
To: City Manager and City Council
From: Hugh Mose, Transit Manager 9114
Re: Transit Fact Sheet
Attached please find a copy of the UMTA Region VII Transit Fact Sheet. We
have added the statistics for Iowa City Transit at the bottom for
comparison.
You will note that although Iowa City is smaller than any of the
communities listed, our transit operation is comparable to most of the
Urbanized Areas. Even though we have fewer buses than all but one of the
cities listed, our ridership is greater than that of many cities twice our
size, and our "Riders Per Revenue Vehicle Mile" is higher than almost all
of the other systems. Furthermore, our "Ratio of Revenue/Operating Costs"
is the highest on the page.
Our conclusion is that in spite of our small size, Iowa City Transit
compares most favorably with the other larger cities in our UMTA region.
Not only do we carry more passengers, but we do it very efficiently.
It is also interesting to note that if Coralville Transit and Cambus were
included, the statistics for the Iowa City/Coralville Urbanized Area
would be even more impressive. Although we would have fewer buses than
Cedar Rapids, our ridership would approach 5,000,000 and our "Riders Per
Revenue Vehicle Mile" would probably be the highest on the page.

Date: December 9, 1980
To: City Manager & City Council
From: Hugh Mose, Transit Manager
Re: Council Referral/Small Buses
Several weeks ago a Councilperson inquired about the viability of using small
buses to supplement our existing fleet. I do not believe that the acquisition
of small buses is a realistic answer to our present problems, for the following
reasons:
1. Although the initial cost of a small bus is low, small buses are generally
not designed for heavy duty transit use, and consequently they do not age
well. ,The life expectancy of a small bus is generally only five years, as
opposed to a standard transit coach which should last 12 to '15 years.
Also, as the vehicle deteriorates, the cost of maintenance skyrockets.
2. The cost of the driver's time accounts for more than half of our operating
expenses. In this respect the operation of a small coach is just as
expensive as a larger vehicle.
3. On a per mile basis, the maintenance of a small bus is likely to be more
costly than the maintenance of a larger vehicle, particularly if the small
bus is gasoline powered. Also, the acquisition of a new parts inventory
and new mechanics' skills will certainly drive up our maintenance expenses.
4. A small bus is not cheap; the "Bionic" bus last year purchased by the
University cost in excess of $26,000. A similar bus purchased today would
probably cost about $30,000. When one considers that this purchase will
need to be repeated again in five years, the life -cycle cost difference
between a large bus and a small bus decreases dramatically.
5. There is currently available a new breed of small bus designed specifically
for transit use. These 30 -passenger, diesel -powered vehicles cost in
excess of $100,000. At this price there seems to be no real advantage over
a $140,000 full-size coach.
Although the small bus looks attractive initially, when one considers its total
operation there is really no great cost advantage. Although the small bus may
look more efficient, have a shorter delivery time, and be more manueverable on
narrow streets, its use to supplement our regular line haul buses cannot•be
recommended at this time.

encroachment on University property and possibly on private property. As
the southern curb of the existing street is at or near the right of way
line, most of the encroachment would be to the north of the existing
street.
Schmadeke presented a series of maps and slides showing various proposals
for road construction in the Melrose Corridor area.
The first option presented was the Melrose Diagonal with a 15 foot wide
median strip. The pavement would be widened beginning at Wolf Avenue.

one home. The northern edge of the right of way would be located 50 feet
from Slater Hall. The S-shaped curve would have a 350 foot radius with
two lanes 25 feet wide. Total cost estimate is $706,000.

bridge. A major advantage to many would be that the Wolf Avenue
intersection would be completed and allow better traffic movement. The
additional cost would be $5,000. This option would require modification
of the tennis courts.
The third option presented was the Melrose Diagonal without a median.
This would require a 78 foot right of way and thus necessitate acquiring
an additional 18 feet. The bike lane would remain. Pavement would
consist of four 11 foot wide lanes. Total cost estimate is $674,000.
Members questioned the need to remain 50 feet from Slater Hall arguing
that the 50 feet might impact more critically on private homes than on
Slater. Roberts stated that the Committee should remember that the homes
will eventually be removed but that Slater Hall will remain for many, many
years.
The impact on the playing field was discussed. Kammermeyer pointed out
that the University was concerned with maintaining the integrity of the
field. Bezanson asked how far the right of way would infringe onto the

field. Schmadeke responded that with the eight foot bikeway and the steep
slope, perhaps 30 feet, the possibility of placing a retaining wall at the
south end of the playing field was raised. In response to a question,
asking for the dimensions of the playing field, Bezanson stated that the
field was intensively used and layed out and that little extra space
existed.
Bezanson asked about entrances and exits from the parking lot located on
South Grand. Farmer responded that the estimate included eliminating the
eastern parking lot. Kammermeyer pointed out that the Committee had
discussed the undesirability of the parkinglot
directly across from Melrose Court. exit being located
Members questioned whether a traffic light had been anticipated.
Schmadeke responded that a light had not been considered . Kammermeyer
stated that the Committee had discussed the possible need for
signalization at South Grand. This could aid pedestrian crossing on
Melrose Avenue.
Members asked whether the Byington extension north of Grand, Grand Avenue
and South Grand would remain open if the Diagonal was built. Schmadeke
responded that this would be dependent on the University's needs. He
stated that the City has no need to keep this street open. Bezanson
stated that unless Grand were kept open, the Cambus route from the
hospital to the dorms to the east side would be affected and that might
cause an increase in undesirable pedestrian crossings.
The fourth option proposes a four -lane street with the proposed south curb
matching the alignment of the present paving. Byington Avenue will be
expanded to 45 feet wide paving by constructing a "S" curve with a 125
foot minimum radii. This alignment would encroach onto private property
at Melrose Avenue and Byington and two University -owned houses would have
to be removed. If all four lanes were in use, a maximum speed of ten mph
would have to be observed. Total cost would be approximately $642,000.
Engineering is not in favor of this option as it does not provide a smooth
transition between Melrose Avenue and Grand Avenue and might not
successfully relieve pressure on Melrose Court.
The fifth option was the improved "traffic circle" concept with the
addition of a widened pavement on Melrose Avenue from two lanes to three
lanes from South Grad avenue to Byington. In addition, an improved
intersection at Byington and Melrose Avenue would accommodate future
extension of Byington south. Under this plan, Byington would remain one-
way for northbound traffic. The intersections of Byington and Melrose
Avenue and Grand Avenue would be enlarged to a 125 foot minimum to improve
trafficement

Members questioned the need for such a large turning radius and the need
for traffic to travel at 25 mph instead of 10 or 15. Perret pointed out
that at the corner of Riverside Drive and Iowa Avenue, the turning radius
is 75 feet and traffic still moves through that intersection. He
suggested that having a smaller turning radius would save property and
money. Roberts responded that millions of dollars were being put into the
downtown in order to build up the retail section but at present there was
no direct way to get to the downtown. He stated that the Melrose Diagonal
looks to the future, especially in light of the construction of 518,
allowing direct access to the downtown. Members questioned how much more
traffic could actually get through the intersection with these
improvements.
Berlin stated that the goal of the improvements was to provide convenient,
safe travel and keep traffic off Melrose Court. Perret responded that it
was also important to preserve neighborhoods. Boothroy pointed out that
providing an arterial street would consolidate traffic, taking it off
local streets. Perret pointed out that in order to build the diagonal, at
least five residences would have to be removed. He stated that they were
attempting to preserve part of a neighborhood by partially decimating
another neighborhood.
Kammermeyer stated that especially considering icy streets, the Committee
should consider the safety aspect. He stated that the diagonal was safer.
Turner stated that Byington was much worse now than it would be after
improvements proposed with the "traffic circle" concept and that even so,
it was not particularly hazardous. She agreed that safety had to be a
concern but that the Committee would not be correcting a situation which
had become unsafe. Other members pointed out that the traffic circle
would increase the number of lanes and would create some two-lane traffic
which is presently one -lane which could increase the hazard. Brachtel
stated that there might be an increase in random accident occurrence and
that with the two-lane "S" more sideswiping might occur. He added that a
straighter alignment would be preferrable from a safety point of view but
that the increase in traffic accidents would not be statistically
meaningful.
Kammermeyer asked if the estimate on the traffic circle was perhaps low
since a lot of earth moving would be required. Schmadeke stated that most
of the widening would be on the east side of Byington and approximately 20
feet would have to be taken off the hill. Bezanson asked what impact this
would have on the new Law Building. Schmadeke said that the house on the
corner of Grand and Byington would have to go as well as a privately owned
piece of property in the right of way. He added that the property owner
was upset with this alignment and preferred the diagonal.
The sixth proposal was the traffic circle with the Byington extension.
The total cost would be $946,000. Members pointed out that this was more
than the Diagonal.

MELROSE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE

The seventh option was the traffic circle without the improved
intersection for the Byington extension. The improvements on Melrose
Avenue from the bridge to South Grand would remain the same as in the
other traffic circle proposals. Total cost would be $675,000.
Perret questioned if reconstruction on South Grand was necessary. Farmer
rejoined that the curbs were virtually gone because the street had been
overlayed so many times and that if street improvements were being made it
made good sense to improve south Grand at the same time.
Hart asked what the grade on the diagonal would be. Hart ascertained that
the grade on the diagonal would be about one-half the present grade on
Grand Avenue. Farmer stated that the grade would change very little if
Byington was reconstructed into a four -lane.
Brachtel explained that with the diagonal, the intersection at Grand and
Riverside Drive would operate much more efficiently, perhaps a 75%
increase. Whereas, with the "S" alignment, the improvement would be 35%-
45%. He felt the diagonal would reduce perceived driver delay
considerably. With the "S" alignment there would be some perceived driver
delay improvement but not as much. He explained that the intersection
should be seen as having eight phases with each turning time included.
The time allotted to each phase of the cycle is based on demand. A cycle
might be skipped if there is no demand.
Brachtel stated that there was no way to adjust the timing to favor
traffic from the Melrose Corridor without penalizing the other legs.
However, the sensing devices could be tightened which might give the
Melrose traffic an advantage. To function most efficiently, cars must be
going at speed. The diagonal allows faster, smoother movements therefore
allowing drivers to get through the intersection more efficiently.
Perret stated that one problem now with the Melrose Corridor is the short
stacking lane for a left-hand turn at Riverside Drive onto Grand Avenue.
He stated that drivers viewed this intersection as a reason to take Myrtle
and Melrose Court. He asked Engineering to consider re -design of the
intersection. Brachtel responded that re -design of the intersection
would be extremely difficult because of the physical constraints of the
bluffs on one side and the hydraulics plant on the other. Brachtel added
that every city has a 100% intersection, which is in constant use and this
is Iowa City's 100% intersection. This means some congestion will
probably always be present.
Turner responded that she was concerned about straining an already
congested intersection with further improvements which would increase
traffic. Brachtel stated that the intersection would not necessarily be
more congested if it were more efficient. He added that the queue length
would be improved with two lanes.
Wolraich questioned how much improvement was needed to make maximum use of
the light before the intersection was overloaded. Brachtel answered that
Irm

MELROSE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE

PAGE 6
with the "S" alignment, the queue length would still be relatively short
with traffic moving at 10 mph. With the diagonal and its straighter
alignment, the queue length would be significantly longer. He explained
that the timer allows seven seconds for cars to start through the
intersection. The detector then allows a passage time of four seconds and
assumes a gap between cars of less than four seconds. If the gap is
longer, the detector interprets that as no demand. The shorter the gap
between cars, the more efficient the movement through the intersection.
If the curves are sharp, such as on the "S", the movement will not be as
smooth.
Turner asked the engineer about the advisability of the traffic circle
concept. She also asked if it could be implemented without widening
Melrose Avenue to three lanes from south Grand to Byington. Farmer stated
that eventually the area would need more improvement. He also said that
the pavement and curbs were badly deteriorated. Schmadeke agreed that it
would be a short-term solution.
Hart asked what the findings had been from the pedestrian crossing count.
Brachtel reported that the count had been taken in October on a Tuesday
and a Wednesday.
Tuesday Clear weather 1200 crossings 6:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m.
Wednesday Inclement 1000 crossings 6:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m.
He also reported that automobile traffic appeared to be about 30% of the
volume before closing Melrose Court. Counts were done over a three week
period and there did not appear to be week -to -week increases.
Members of the public were invited to give their opinions. One member
asked the Committee to concentrate on rush-hour problems. Another
strongly urged the inclusion of a median strip so that Melrose Avenue
would not turn into a highway. She pointed out the advantages to the
hospital and the City to creating a boulevard as opposed to a highway.
Perret pointed out that a median might help turning traffic. Farmer
cautioned that 15 feet was not really enough to protect a turning car.

Women Voters, had the following comments: The statement, "This
POl2icy will be im lemented -by P an Affirmative Action Program, www h

atement and ro�ra_m Gu de nes'ris uunclear of what t�program�s.
u93 gest ion: "This Po cy wi be implemented by an Affirmative
Action Program, which will be developed within the following
guidelines; and having the program spelled out." Responsibility of
Human Relations Director, N4: "This seems Impossible to implement
and who woul be responsible in determining bona -fide occupational
qualifications necessary for job performance?" City-wide Grievance
Committee: "Others not employed by the City show d e nclude on
t e Zomiffttee." Clara Oleson had the following comments: "The task
force seems to be working under certain assumptions." "The City's
commitment to non-discrimination is not evenly spread throughout the
City, nor the knowledge of how to implement non-discrimination
principles. "Working basically with a seX -segregated work force. "
The perceptual model you have set up depends heavily on economical
factors where the knowledge base is limited." "Rosemary Vito:'
should prepare a cost -analysis and cost out the plan. There is r
indication of what the document will cost." Contract CCompliia_n
Policy: "No indication who will do this. Is a new task forc o 9

to be appointed?" Page 2, N9; Performance Monitoring of Affirmative
Action Pro ram: "Unclear: What do you mean?" Responsibi- -' y of
City Mona er: "No accountability of the Affirmative Action
Program. Suggestion: "Insert as N4 under City Council -- To ensure
that the City Manager, Boards and Commissions of the City understand
that continue evaluation of performance will include emphasis on
their affirmative actions and results." "This ensures that
Affirmative Action Accountability will not stop at department head
level." Human Relations Director's Power: "How will you secure this
position? I suggest as a final recommendation that this position
is ensured compensation and annual staff support." Dissemination:
"Can see as an area you can get bogged down in." Establishment of
Goals and Timetables: "A(1) is not telling you very much, again
because of a sex -segregated work force." "A(2) What do you mean?"
Two assumptions are that pay grade is valid and job qualifications
for jobs are valid." "This may not be true." "You should add the
review of job qualifications for validation of non-discriminatory
factors as well as employee evaluations." "A(3) What is the relevant
comparable labor market for Iowa City?" "How are you going to
identify it?" "You ma need to go national." "I suggest to add to
NA(3) and page 6, N3; ma
where appropriated national labor market It
:Who wins if department heads can't meet the Human Relations
Director's goals and timetables?" Suggestion: to add "In case of a
conflict in said goals and timetables, the Human Relations
Director's recommendation for goals and timetables shall be
implemented, except where department headsjA&Cij in writing setting
out alternative goals and timetables and his/her rationale within 30
days to the City Manager." "The City Manager makes the final
decision." Each Annual Report will also contain the following
assessments::In-add rate of selection and add N3 to s_ay`-a_n_nu_7Ti
report of rate acceptance for evaluation of each department head's
performance." Grievance Procedure: "I am unclear of the philosophy
of setting up a separate nternal grievance procedure." Just modify
the current grievance procedure." "It is politically dumb to confine
the City-wide Grievance Committee to just City employees."' "Parties
should have the option to choose a non -City representative." "If
this procedure is non-binding, it is fruitless to put in caps (There
will be no retaliation for filing a grievance)." "How are you going
to enforce the procedure?" "Why should it be attached to this i
document?" "You did not address the relationship between the Legal
Department and the Human Relations Director." "Ir, case of a conflict
who wins?" You did not address sexual orientation in this policy."
Recruitment Funds: "Doesn't fit into this policy." There is no
re er— ego money elsewhere in the document." "Why draw attention
to just recruitment' funds?" Pat Dowd, representing the Women's
Resource and Action Center had the following comments: Grievance
Committee: "All members should not be employees." Res onsib�t
on�der how indeed the City Council would overy ew t e City
Manager's overview of the policy." Minority Repreesse_ntation:
"Extend to national labor market." Grievance Procedure: "Consider
if there is retaliation to filing, what wil be done?"—Clara Oleson

GROWTH AND CHANGE IN THE 1808: An Action Program
For Housing Affordability and Efficient Communities
Thirty-seven state and local elected officials and leaders of the development
industry -- homebuilders, consulting architects, lenders and land developers -- have
announced their tentative recommendations to improve development and redevelopment
in the decade ahead in the light of changing economic, resource and demographic
changes. The following summarizes their findings:

industry to plan together to permit and create compact projects
and more contiguous development.

the Council urges infill incentives to make such land available for
new activities in the cities and counties with services and facilities
already in place.
3. In place of single use projects, zones and whole towns --
the Council urges government to enable developers to produce centers
where residential, shopping, recreation and employment can be sited
together, encouraging pedestrian movement and short trips between
activities.
4. In place of forcing families to bear the expense of mult
the Council urges that governments encourage and permit transit -serving
densities and facilitate ride -sharing in more compact, mixed use
communities.
5. In place of nonessential costly regulatory procedures that inflate housing
costs --
the Council urges governments to slash processing timet drop "gold
plated" property, rehabilitation, building and development standards
and provide an adequate supply of land for development.

7. In place of residential areas without activity centers; of s
job centers accessible only at the cost of billions of miles
and barrels of imported oil consumed; and of neighborhoods w
Local, State and Federal governments should adopt the "Urban
village" concept to guide future growth and conserve land.
Action Program
1. County and municipal governments should:
(a) Revise regulations to achieve compact developments allow increased
densities; reduce lot and yard size requirements, setbacks, and
street widths; encourage development on non -conforming lots; and
establish minimum density requirements where needed.
(b) Remove constraints on housing types, lot sizes, and densities;
allow market forces to control within service limits and
performance standards.
(c) Change land use regulations to encourage mixed-use development;
permit more uses within present zoning districts.
(d) Permit conversion of single-family homes to multiple unit structures
to offset local housing affordability crises.
(e) Assess vacant land at current market values or at highest and best
use permitted under zoning.
(f) Use public acquisition, including use of eminent domain, where
necessary, to meet essential housing and community development
objectives under broader testa of public necessity. Permit
delegation of eminent domain to developers under suitable safeguards
to achieve publicly -approved plans.
(g) Establish local and cooperative regional inclusionary housing policies,
making a perccentage of units in larger projects available at moderate
prices and a percentage available to low-income groups through
subsidies. To assure profitability, include incentives -- e.g.
density boneses, fast-track permitting, tax abatements, tax-exempt
financing.
(h) Replace outrYght restrictions on factory built mobile homes with
performance standards applicable to all housing.
(i) Remove rent controls with provisions to protect elderly and low
income households. Allow condominium conversions and establish
equity -sharing programs to enable lower-income renters to purchase
units.

2. States should:
(a) Adopt, in cooperation with local governmetns, regional development
and housing goals and planning guidelines for local housing
availability and affordability implementation programs, including
the need for diverse and affordable housing for current and future
residents, and provide support to enable localities to meet those
objectives.
(b) Discourage local "population caps", large -lot zoning, "gold-plated"
subdivision standards, or unjustifiable development fees when used
for exclusionary purposes.
(c) Adopt uniform, statewide performance-based building codes.
(d) Authorize self -taxing improvement districts for mixed-use development;
liberalize property tax laws to allow localities to encourage infill
and home improvements.
3. The Federal Government should:
(a) Test the effectiveness of substantial incentive reductions in
tax rates and regulatory requirements ("incentive zones") in
areas with high unemployment in cooperation with state and local
governments.
(b) Focus future transportation improvements on maintenance and enhancement
of the existing systems and transit improvements. In fast growing
areas, transit should be considered as top priority.
(c) Allow non -homeowners to establish tax-exempt savings accounts
(similar to IRA accounts) for the purpose of buying a house.
(d) Expand Federal mortgage guarantees to cover mixed use project.
(e) Eliminate differences in federal tax treatment of allowances for
accelerated depreciation between new and existing buildings.
4. State and Federal agencies should:
(a) Initiate an immediate review of, existing land and housing impacting
regulations to eliminate those that are unnecessarily costly compared
with the benefits derived. This is particularly needed in environmental
policies. In weighing proposed new regulatory and investment proposals
affecting development, take into account the cost effects on housing
production and conservation.
(b) National and state energy policies fail to include the energy conserving
benefits of compact and mixed use development, redevelopment and infill.
Federal state and local governmetns should adopt and apply these
principles in their planning and investment decisions as essential,
long range contributions to the reduction of energy consumption.
