Downtown Association of Iowa City
April 2, 2008
Letter to: City of Iowa City Council Members
From: Craig Gustaveson, President, DTA
Subject: Juice Bar -After-Hours Club
The Downtown Association of Iowa City would like to express its concerns regarding
an inquiry for a juice bar or after-hours club in Iowa City.
Our concerns are:
The building that houses this type of operation (late night and all night) would be closed
during prime business hours, creating a vacated appearance in the main district.
Considering the number of bars currently associated with the community, the DTA does
not see a need for another venue, in particular one of this nature.
A bar that operates on a bringyour ozvn booze concept and that is open throughout the
night, would require increased policing for the protection of citizens and business properties,
placing an additional strain on a strapped police department.
It is the position of the Downtown Association that the problems associated with this
type of business far outweigh any positive contribution to the community. Please consider
an ordinance to ban any such business in Iowa City.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
Craig Gustaveson
President
Downtown Association of Iowa City

Subject: Upcoming "Nuisance" Ordinance Vote
Hello-
I am writing regarding the upcoming vote on the proposed ordinance that would ban alcohol
consumption in certain locations from tam-6am/2am-8am on Sundays. Asa 10-year citizen of Iowa
City and a graduate of the UI I feel that the council even considering this ordinance is a huge waste of
time and resources. It's absurd to pass a law to restrict a business that hasn't even started yet. I doubt I
would ever even visit an after hours club but I believe it has the right to give it a go. There are already
nuisance ordinances, don't add a ridiculous one because of what might happen. If you legislated away all
the "maybes" there'd be no freedoms left.
Thank you,
Russell Brown
