However, no proposals were received. Prior to the opening date, the Development Division contacted potential developers who had received a Prospectus and exhibited a serious interest in this parcel. These parties indicated that they were not going to submit redevelopment proposals at this time for two basic reasons: (1) they could not "make their numbers work", especially because of the current high interest rates; and (2) to a lesser extent, the small size of the parcel itself. The minimum purchase price, design requirements, Industrial Revenue Bond Policy, and other Prospectus requirements and restrictions appeared to have no adverse impact on the potential developers. Two parties informally inquired about the building height requirement. One party wanted to know the reasons for imposing a height maximum and the other party was interested in meeting the minimum height requirement but building with less than the three story minimum. However, no questions or requests for Prospectus clarification or interpretation were received. At this time, we would recommend that staff be instructed to take the following actions: I. Contact and interview the parties who had expressed serious interest in Parcel 82-1b in order to more clearly identify the reasons why no redevelopment proposals were submitted this past week. 2. Discuss the City's land marketing strategy for this parcel in greater detail with Don Zuchelli, and with knowledgeable local persons. 3. Based on the information gathered from the above sources and other staff research efforts, the staff should develop possible alternative recommendations with respect to the timing and nature of further land marketing attempts for Parcel 82 -lb. bj/sp MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR#LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES aaoo ' 3 i r City of Iowa Ci+') _ MEMORANDUM Date: November 21, 1980 I To: City Manager and City Council 1 From: Michael Kucharzak, Acting Director, Dept, of Public Works Re: Snow Removal Procedures - Winter 1980-81 SANDING AND SALTING OPERATION t� 7 I In an attempt to maintain the streets clear of ice and snow, the Streets Division begins sanding/salting operations when there is i i a quarter inch accumulation of snow on the streets or when streets are ice covered. t The sanding/salting operation consists of seven trucks carrying a one part salt to six parts sand mixture and following a three phase program: First Priority - Assigned main traffic arteries and bus routes. Second Priority - All intersections having traffic signals or stop signs and all streets have a grade in excess of 2%. Third Priority - All other streets in the City including outlying gravel roads. Fourth Priority -Alleys will be plowed in snow falls of greater than 4 31 and after all residential streets are done. Should snow storms occur back-to-back, that is before the staff has moved g to step two or three of a previous storm, the crew will move to step one as the priority for ' snow removal and continue snow removal and ice abatement procedures moving to step two and finally step three until the entire City is serviced. NEWLY POURED CONCRETE Portland cement concrete streets poured this year cannot be treated with salt. Clinton Street, Madison, Capitol and Gilbert will receive only a sand treatment this winter. S AIRPORT The Iowa City Airport will perform its own snow removal activities. CITY PARKING LOTS City crews will plow City parking lots following snow falls of 4" or less. Following snow falls of greater than 4" the parking lots will be plowed by a private firm under. contract to the City.

To date, the service has been quite accurate and as a result, most helpful. Additional support on changing weather conditions is provided by the Police patrol who, through their radio. dispatcher, notifies the Streets Superintendent of road conditions that may require the calling out of sanding or plowing crews. Early warning is still the best defense in coping with weather-related road problems. This is understood and appreciated by the Police force and their assistance in reporting road conditions, especially after normal City crew working hours' 'has contributed a great deal to the success of combating major storms. During weekends and holidays, we maintain seven employees on call to respond to snow emergencies. The Department of Public Works plans to adhere to this schedule and will advise the City Manager and the City council on any significant changes in the procedures that may become necessary as the winter progresses. bj3/6-7 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES r, ir- f 'z `I I i I e 2 CALL OUT PROCEDURES The City of Iowa City subscribes to a private weather advisory service in an attempt to obtain advance notice of approaching storms.

Levay MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB g CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES THE energy9aver NEWS Number 6 CITY OF IOWA CITY NOVEMBER 19 8 0 DRIVING SMARTER TO CONSERVATION SAVE MONEY Since 1/3 of all the petroleum used in the United States is burned as gasoline in cars, large energy savings could be achieved if we all drove more carefully.Besides saving energy, this could also mean a money savings to each of us as we decrease our purchases of expensive gasoline. By far the best way to save gas is to use your car less. Without becoming a recluse, you can cut down on your driving enough to save a good deal of money if you go about it systematically. You will probably have to keep a driving record to be successful. The record can be detailed or simply a notebook with miles and gallons entered each time you buy gas. It might also be helpful to record the purpose of long trips and for a few weeks record all trips that you make. By eliminating unnecessary trips, carpooling, or combining errands into one trip, you can reduce the mileage you drive and save money. One ,other obvious way to save gas is to observe the 55 -mile per hour speed limit. Most cars use 20% less gas at 55 than at 70: Actually, it has been found that most cars get the best gas mileage between 35 and 45 miles per hours. Miles per gallon decrease drastically below 30 and above 50. -more peg* 2 - SOLAR SEMINARS HELD Roger Tinklenberg conducted two solar seminars this month. Both were held at the sites of the City's Solar Demonstration Project.. On November 8th about 50 people attended. the seminar at the Anderson home at 742 Dearborn. The Anderson's installed a solar hot water system in their home,this fall with the aid of a $3500 Community Development Block Grant from HUD administered by the City. The other seminar was held November 15th at the Moen residence at 633 Reno where a solar greenhouse was constructed, also with HUD assistance. Seventy-five (75) people attended this meeting to learn about solar systems. At the Anderson home, Roger explained solar energy uses, particularly the differences between liquid and air systems. Frank Easton of Easton Solar Works, the contractor for this project, spoke on the economics of solar energy and described how the system in the Anderson home worked. The two closed - the seminar by fielding questions from the crowd about solar energy and the hot water system project. -more peee2- Energy Coaserration Program, 410E. Washington, MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB ' CEDAR RAPIDS • DES 110INES THROUGH HOME DESIGN Several people have contacted the Energy Conservation Office in response to an article, About to -cal housing in the October issue of ESN. The article described various design techniques used by Harry Hart to improve home energy efficiency. The designs of these homes included double walls with double insulation,. double glazed windows, and an air -lock tight vestibule. The cost of building a new home was raised approximately' $2,000 1by including these special energy saving,*construction 'and design features." Besides the techniques used by Hart 'there are several other design ,'features that~ will improve energy conservation in new housing. Solar homes are one of the ways to reduce dependence on high cost fuel to heat homes. Solar houses have several design features which enhance the home energy conservation ability. 1) Solar homes are designed and oriented to serve as collector's themselves. They admit winter sun and are sheltered from prevailing winter winds. In summer• months, they exclude the sun and have provisions for natural cooling. -mori pege2- IowsCIty, Iowa 52240 (ala) 354-1800 ENERGY SAVEF'news SEMINARS- The:seminar at the Moen residence was conducted along the same fashion except it focused on the operation of a solar greenhouse to assist in heating homes. McCormick Construction, a local firm, built the greenhouse for the Moen's. Dale McCormick and Rick Graf of McCormick Construction explained the operation and construction of the solar greenhouse to the crowd. Roger feels that these seminars were a success as they provided the opportunity for the public to see how different solar systems operated and expanded their knowledge about the subject .of solar energy in general. Hopefully, these seminars will assist the public in becoming better educated about solar energy and encourage some to implement their own solar systems. DRIVING - Avoid ing RIVING- Avoiding extended periods of idling will also save gas. One minute of idling uses twice as much gas as restarting the engine.: If you,are likely to be waiting in line for more than half a minute, .turn off the ignition. This half -minute rule applies to warm up time, too. Better acceleration and braking habits can improve mileage also. Contrary to popular believe, ,:slow, acceleration actually wastes gas. "Brisk but smooth" is the best acceleration technique. The quicker you shift out of low gear, the more gas you save. But don't use jack rabbit starts. They waste the most! Cars use less gas .when moving at a steady speed. That means a steady foot on the accelerator and slowing down without using the brakes. Braking wastes momentum gained from gas that you've already burned, accelerating after braking uses more gas than a steady speed would use. This means that while driving you should anticipate traffic flow and traffic lights, keep 2-3 seconds of space between you and the car ahead, and try to avoid dead stops. Your tires can also save gas. The more pressure you put in your tires, up to the stated maximum on the tires, the less gas it takes to drive a mile. However, it is useful to maintain whatever difference in pressure between front and back tires the owner's manual recommends. Full inflation does produce a harder ride over bumps but it does not damage the suspension system and it does not shorten tire life. These are just a few of the things you can do to cut your total driving mileage and your gasoline consumption. If we all make a determined effort in this area, we will save money and reduce consumption of foreign oil imports.

Most glass area - double or triple glazing - is on the south -facing facade. 3) They have extra insulation in the attic and walls. 4) Earth may be back-filled to partially or completely cover north, east, and west walls. 5) Heat lost through windows at night is cut by insulating shutters or drapes. 6) The amount of cold (or warm) air entering the house when doors are opened is reduced by air- lock entries. 7) Air infiltration is minimized by careful construction, and by caulking and sealing all measurable air leaks. 8) Solar homes have close -in, multi -story floor plans rather than spralling, single -story designs. These energy -conserving features obviously. place design constraints .'on 'solar homes. But,. architects are meeting in varied and.exciting ways. Next month, ways to improve energy efficiency in existing housing will be covered.

Applications to IHFA for an allocation of funds under this program must be made by an eligible financial institution which maintains an office within the municipality. A municipality may not apply directly for an allocation of funds under this program. 2. Under this program, IHFA funds shall be available only for mortgage loans which are secured by real property located wholly within a designated Urban Revitalization Area. According to IHFA, such designated areas must also be "substantially residential in character." 3. The financial institution selected by IHFA may issue mortgage loans only on the following properties: a. A newly built home; or b. An existing home following rehabilitation and a change of ownership; or C. An existing home following rehabilitation when there has been no change of ownership, in an amount not to exceed the sum of the existing mortgage balance together with the costs of rehabilitation; or d. An existing home that has not been rehabilitated when there has been a change of ownership. 4. An eligible financial institution applying for an allocation of IHFA funds under this program must first consult with the appropriate City officials to determine the total amount of funds to be requested. Each eligible financial institution within the municipality which is interested in participating in this program should apply for the full amount of funds desired by the municipality. If more than one eligible financial institution within the municipality applies to IHFA, and an allocation of IHFA funds for the municipality is approved, the agency will select by lot one financial institution to originate loans from within the municipality.
