"All elbows in the ductwork have been specified to have turning vanes installed, which reduces pressure losses substantially. The duct to the lobby has been designed to have no more pressure drop than the other ducts in the system." 3) The plans show ducts to about one out of three offices compared to the present system of an airduct for each office. Won't the planned system result in the offices without airducts being stale and stuffy? (With the present system the air gets stuffy when the door- to an j office must be closed for some time.) "The air ducts to all the offices are in place but are not shown on the drawings. We have shown existing flexible ductwork only up to flow control boxes but, so as not to clutter the drawing with existing ductwork, we have not shown the existing flexible ducts from the control boxes to the air outlets in each room." 4) Why isn't there a Well-X-Trol expansion tank for each boiler rather than just the one specified to handle both boilers? With only one expansion tank connected betewen the two, it will not be possible to fully isolate a "down" boiler. "Only one expansion tank is needed. A "down" boiler can be isolated by valving it out of the system, with the expansion tank remaining in the active part of the System." 5) Why is no water feed system shown on the plans for the boilers? This is of concern because the water feed system for hot water boilers is different from that of a steam boiler. In addition, the demolition plans call for the removal of the water feed systems which the specifications do not provide for their replacement. "The schematic diagram at the boiler piping on page 1 of the plans does show a connection for water feed labeled "to city water". Thus, there is only one water feed for the system, rather than one for each boiler as before."

Shaffer reported the grant proposal he submitted (with sponsorship by the Public Library and the City of Iowa City) in January, 1980 to the National Telecommunciations Information Administration (NTIA) has been accepted which means an additional $37,000 worth of equipment for access cable TV purposes. The equipment will be housed in the new public library. The NFLCP (National Federation of Local Cable Programmers) national convention took place in East Lansing, Michigan at the end of June. It was attended by over 400 persons from access centers, independent producers and cable industry representatives all over the country. There will be a regional NFLCP meeting in Madison in October. See Shaffer for more information. There has been some discussion on having the next NFLCP national convention here in Iowa City in 1981. Two large questions that loom in regard to this issue: 1) Where would we get the necessary person power and money if it were to be held in Iowa City? 2) Can Iowa City accommodate a 600 person convention? Obviously this is a very large enterprise and it would be crucial to its success to have accrued a large person power and money resource pools. Shaffer has started City staff production workshops, public workshops and completed the first Library staff production workshop. The BTC Annual Report has been drafted. Motion by Terry, seconded by Eskin, to accept annual report. Annual report approved. Senate being roduced Bill Communications oft Commerce Committee. Sections 248 and 509 include the following: Prohibition of government access channels and potentially all access channels; prohibition of government rate regulation of cable TV; leaving cities, states and federal governments unable to regulate cable (it is in effort to, in effect, deregulate the cable industry). The City of Iowa City, along with the majority of the National League of Cities members are sending letters to strongly protest this bill and its provisions (especially Sections 238 and 509). We take particular offense at there being no public hearings for this bill.

Phase I has been activated, testing and accepted by Hawkeye. Questions arose pertaining to the definition of the 25% activation level. Hawkeye was unsure of the BTC's interpretation of the 25% requirement. Pepper responded Hawkeye should send a letter to the BTC identifying: 1) when Phase I (which is over 25%) was or is technically completed (all stranding, cabling, splicing, testing and proofing completed), and 2) when the full network service and/or when what services are available to that first phase. Hawkeye believed they had achieved these two accomplishments some two to three weeks back and will send a letter with those dates to the BTC as soon as possible. Kalergis discussed status of the educational access channel and efforts to form an educational consortium. Such a consortium is being formed now. A question was posed pertaining who and/or what should be able to participate on this channel. It was proposed one measure might be being licensed by the state and/or each entity should teach in a variety of subject areas.

Attendance and guests were noted. Consideration of the minutes of the June 12th meeting was again deferred because there were still not three members present who had attended that meeting. The minutes of the July 10th meeting were considered and approved. Manager Zehr presented the month's bills to the members and explained them briefly. Mr. Sauegling moved to accept and approve the bills for payment; second by Mr. George; the motion passed. Mr. Zehr then asked for permission to rearrange the order of the items listed on the agenda, and permission was given to consider item (d) first, followed by (b), (c), and then (a), In consideration of the budget, Zehr explained an existing disagreement between the Finance Department, which shows a deficit of $6706.64 for FY '80, and the manager, who believes the deficit should be zero. He asked those present to consider memos of July 21st and 22nd in support of his position. Guest Rosemary Vitosh explained her position that an amount of $15,000 for airport tie downs had never been approved by the City Council, thus resulting in the aforementioned deficit. It was decided Zehr would discuss the matter with Neal Berlin, the City Manager, and seek to have the matter added to the agenda of the next City Council meeting on August 26th. Zehr presented preliminary drawings of the proposed corporate hangar building, prepared by Wayne Overman. Mr. Overman explained the plans so far are preliminary and must be defined. Zehr reported McCabe Equipment would be willing to rent a portion of the building for $285 per month for five years. Joe Tye has reported the University is leaning toward renting part of the building rather than building their own, and will make their decision by the end of August.

Upon approval of either request, the applicant then intended to file an amended LSRD plan and complete the 30th unit. Staff has reviewed the overall density of the property in question and finds that under the proposed new zoning ordinance and map that if the tract were zoned to an RM -20 classification, it would be conforming and, as such, Mr. Barker could complete the 30th unit upon approval of an amended LSRD plan. Mr. Barker indicated to the Commission he was agreeable to the staff's proposal and inquired as to what the time schedule might be for the adoption of the new zoning ordinance. Commissioner Jakobsen indicated that the ordinance may not be formally adopted until around the first part of next year. After some discussion by the Commission regarding the staff's proposal, it was the consensus of those members present that RM -20 would be an appropriate zoning of the Barker property.

Controversy arose in the Johnson County Planning and Zoning Commission over the differences in the plats resulting the of the in the consideration for denial. In order to secure approval final plat, the developers reverted back to the original plat which the County was bound legally to approval since preliminary approval had already been granted. City Staff recommended denial because of the deficiencies and discrepancies i and the problem of secondary access. Staff felt that too many lots would access onto Old Highway 218 which would create a dangerous situation. He added that the previous final plat submitted had been improved in many ways and that P & Z had recommended its approval. I i i MICROFILMED BY C. JORM MICR+LA13 j CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISISON I AUGUST 21, 1980 page 2 Members of the Commission pointed out that the developers had made attempts to improve the plat and develop the access road but that the County's stand virtually disallowed the road improvements. General feeling was that the first final plat was superior to the one under consideration and that it was unfortunate that the County could not approve the superior plat. Ralph Stouffer, representing the owners of Spring Valley Subdivision, requested that discrepancies 3, 4, and 6 be waived. Blum moved that the Commission recommend that the City Council recommend to the City of Coralville and Johnson County the approval of the final plat of Spring Valley Subdivision located two and one-half miles north of the City Limits on County Road W66 (Old Highway 218) waiving items 3, 4, and 6 with the understanding that all deficiencies and discrepancies be attended to.

Young's property from R1A to R3A, located west of Taft's Speedway in an area commonly referred to as the Old Elk's Country Club; Limitation period : waived. Tom Gilman, representing Young, explained that the land had previously been zoned to allow multi -family dwellings and that a building, properly permitted by the city, had been started in 1964. Now Ydung wishes to finish construction. This would require zoning to R3A. Blum raised questions based on the strong neighborhood reaction during the discussion of the Comprehensive Plan to zoning the area for multi- family dwellings. He pointed out that this rezoning was contrary to the Comprehensive Plan. Wioto responded that the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan had not been in effect in 1964 and the Commission was i being asked to recognize- the legal rights of 1964.

Public discussion of a final plat of Spring Valley Subdivision located two and one-half miles north of the City limits on County Road W66 (Old Highway 218); response time: 7/29/80. F Pat Keller, who prepared the Staff Report, explained that the subdivision is outside the City's jurisdiction but in light of the agreement with Coralville, the Commission was asked to give its recommendation on the subdivision. The subdivision covers 96 acres with 62 single family lots. The Commission recommended denial of the preliminary plat. The final plat contains several differences including designation of a secondary access road, three additional easements for future access, and reduction of the number of lots from 74 to 62. The Staff recommends denial primarily because of the lack of a developed secondary access, as well as the excessive number of technical discrepancies listed. Ralph Stouffer, representing Spring Valley, requested a waiver of the lot line intersection requirements as they were laying out the lots so that the lines followed the contours of the ground. He assured the Commission that all other technical discrepancies would be taken care of. He added that the developers were attempting to negotiate some kind of secondary access but were having problems with surrounding property owners. The presently designated secondary access is a gravel road owned by the County. The County is opposed to developing the road at this time because of possible liability. The County is not maintaining the road at this time. Discussion followed between members of the public and the Commission about the necessity of providing secondary access. Members pointed out .. that recent policy has been to deny subdivisions which do not have secondary access. Blum moved that the Commission recommend to the Council to relay to the City of Coralville and Johnson County the approval of a final plat of Spring Valley Subdivision located two and one-half miles north of the City limits on County Road W66 (Old Highway 218) with the understanding that the deficiencies listed in the Staff Report be addressed except for p8 which should be waived. Futhermore, the Commission strongly urges the consideration of providing a secondary access road to the east as the subdivision is considerably weakened by the lack of secondary access but provision of such is beyond the capabilities of the developer.

I ABSENT: G. Scott, B. Ambrisco. STAFF: Benz, Meisel. GUESTS: None. Summerwill moved and Williams seconded a motion to approve the minutes with the following changes: Under "cable television" section, the third sentence should read, "Each studio will have extensive video equipment available." The last sentence should be changed— to jive programming". Unanimously approved. OPEN DISCUSSION Carlton asked whether Commissioners have received comments or inquiries from the public regarding the status of the Senior Center. Summerwill I responded that he had been asked whether the Senior Center was involved in sponsoring some recent recreational activities in the community. Meisel stated the Senior Center is not involved with these activities, but that at the time the center beomes operational, staff can assist in coordinating and disseminating information concerning recreational activities, probably in the form of a calendar of events. Summerwill emphasized that the Senior Center needs to be a leader in organizing and coordinating services of interest to the elderly. Williams and Kattchee commented that the Senior Center can assume this leadership role by working in a cooperative and supportive fashion with service providers and senior citizen organizations which will utilize the Senior Center. The coordination of services and acting as a service clearinghouse will be the primary functions. Meisel stated that staff plans to begin organizing a council of service providers in September in order to initiate a regular channel of communication with agencies and organizations participating in the Senior Center. Carlton asked whether the Senior Center can begin some services now. Benz and Meisel stated that they would not be in favor of this idea for two reasons: 1) Lack of staff time; most of staff's time is still needed for planning at this point; and 2) the potential for confusion in the community which could result by providing only a few services while not being able to provide a site for a full range of services and activities as the Senior Center will when it is operational. i Meisel distributed two articles published in city and.state-wide journals which detailed the development and function of the Senior Center. SENIOR CENTER PROGRESS REPORT The City Manager has asked Ecumenical Housing Corporation what the status of their project is. Some Senior Center construction is being delayed f' MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES Senior Center Commission August 7, 1980 Page 2 because work in the area which will abut the housing cannot proceed until it is known if the housing will be built. For example, the, construction dealing with steps in the rear, the loading dock, and connecting doorways currently assume development of the housing. If the Senior Center proceeds with construction assumming that the housing will be built and it is not, increased costs could result due to changes that will need to be made later. HUD is requiring Ecumenical Housing to rebid the project which is causing the delay. Berlin has asked Ecumenical Housing to state their plans within two weeks. The elevator shaft, duct work, and stairways have been installed. Construction materials and supplies are arriving, and new walls are being framed in. The anticipated completion date is still July, 1981. BYLAWS The staff asked Commission members to review a copy of the bylaws, and verify that they are in the final form. The bylaws were reviewed and accepted as being the final form adopted by the Commission on June 20, 1979. OPERATIONAL HANDBOOK - VOLUNTEERS Benz stated that the next section of the handbook that she would like the handbook committee to address concerns volunteers. Two general references relating to volunteers' written job description and training and supervision are included in the administration and personnel section. The volunteer section will be more detailed and complete. Benz requested general comments from Commission members regarding their concepts of volunteer functions and activities at the Senior Center. Commission members felt that volunteers would be drawn from users of the Senior Center. This in turn would tend to strengthen the program. Volunteers need to know what specific activities are available to them, and should be able to expect a growth -producing experience. Volunteers could be used by agencies and organizations participating in the Senior Center on a planned basis for specific functions. Individuals wishing to be volunteers of the Senior Center should receive general supervision and guidance from Senior Center staff even if they are "assigned" to agencies. Ongoing communication with agencies utilizing these volunteers will be important. The meeting was adjourned at 4:45 P.M.

OPEN DISCUSSION Pecina noted that he had received many complaints from residents along Rundell and Dearborn about the sidewalks being put in by the City. Hencin asked that people having problems with the work contact him and he would relay this to the sidewalk inspector. Some problems have already been taken care of in this manner. Draper stated that he had received favorable comments from several handicapped persons in his work about what the City and CCN had done to put in curb ramps and new sidewalks. REVIEW OF APPLICATION FOR 3rd YEAR OF LOWER RALSTON CREEK PROJECT Knight reviewed what activities were involved in the first and second years of the project. He explained what was proposed in the 3rd year (outlined in grant application). He also stated that the 3rd year would begin January 1, 1981 under the Metro Entitlement category because of Iowa City's SMSA status. Draper questioned the legal status of the Rock Island tracks at Lafeyette Street which are scheduled for replacement. Knight explained that because of the Rock Island's bankruptcy status, the City might not be able to do anything to those tracks on the bridge for many years. There followed a general discussion about the progress of other scheduled improvements and needed improvements for Ralston Creek. GRANTEE PERFORMANCE REPORT Keller introduced the 5th year cumulative Grantee Performance Report and explained that its purpose was to assess the City's progress on the CDBG program. He briefly covered sections of the report regarding project status, expenditures, benefit to minorities and low and moderate income persons, housing assistance, and equal opportunity. Hencin stated that the report had to be submitted to HUD at the end of August, MICROFILMED BY DORM MICR�LAB CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES MINUTES COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY NEEDS AUGUST 6, 1980 page 2 but if the Committee had questions they could be brought up at the next meeting. Haldeman asked for clarification about "unobligated" funds listed in the report. USE OF REMAINING FUNDS FROM HOTEL SITE - REHABILITATION i- Hencin explained that there was a need to allocate additional monies for housing rehabilitation, based on recent HUD correspondence. Barnes discussed the topi:d, as presented in her memorandum (attached) to the Committee, and stated that a demand still exists for rehabilitation funds. Hencin stated that the staff recommended to CCN that the funds remaining j from the sale of the hotel site, after the allocation for underground utilities downtown, be allocated for housing rehabilitation. The Committee was in favor of this recommendation, although no formal action could be taken. SOLAR DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM Tinklenberg presented his request to carryover $9,400 from FY80 to complete this project. He stated that two families had been se from to participate and that bids had been opened today (8-6-80) to do the actual improvements l (a greenhouse and a solar water heater). Bonney asked why this project was being done. Tinklenberg replied that it was to promote solar usage and to aid two low-income families to save fuel. Pecina asked "disappointiing"rhis that itsshouldtof havethe beenncarriedoout faster; he would like to have seen more citizen involvement. Tinklenberg stated that neighborhood seminars would be bbld as part of the solar demonstration project, and he hoped that interested people would come to see the results. Haldeman expressed his feelings that the City should have the capability to assist the public and provide information on solar access, when building or remodeling. Other members expressed their concern that the energy conservation program should have had a broader impact than just the two houses for the demonstration project. The Committee members present felt that the budget carryover was justified in order to complete the solar demonstration project. Pecina, however, was opposed to it. Meeting adjourned at 2:00 pm.
