ENGINEERING CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: Buchan, Ormond, Franklin MEMBERS ABSENT: None STAFF PRESENT: Siders, Shima SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND ACTION TAKEN: Secretary of the Board Siders called the meeting to order and the roll call of the members was taken. Secretary Siders opened the floor for nominations for chairman. It was moved by Franklin and seconded by Ormond to nominate Warren Buchan as Chairman of the Board. It was moved by Ormond and seconded by Buchan to nominate Harold Franklin as Vice - Chairman of the Board. The motions passed unanimously, 3/0. Secretary Siders turned the remainder of the meeting over to Chairman Buchan. Siders presented the new library plan to the board members. Chairman Buchan asked for consideration of an appeal from H. L. M. on sections 3802(b)1 and 1710 of the Uniform Building Code re- garding the new library building. Alternate design of the library was discussed with H. L. M. representatives, Art Koffron and Larry Slay, and the board members. Siders indicated that the UBC reads that twenty sq. ft. of opening is needed for every fifty lineal ft. on at least two sides, and this plan, as reviewed by him, is in compliance with the code with the exception of two corners. This building could be in compliance by designing diagonal walls instead of 900 walls which would allow for an increase in the square footage. The plan was previously approved by Larry Kinney of the Fire Department and would meet the intent of the UBC. It was moved by Ormond and seconded by Franklin that the design be left as is. The motion passed unanimously, 3/0. Discussion continued regarding the property line, landscaping, and the location of the transformer. It was moved by Ormond and seconded by Franklin that the transformer opening be left as is.

Charles Neuzll, Sue Young (KXIC) Chairman Phipps opened the meeting at 7:35 p.m. by introducing the representatives from Kimball Associates. Mr. Yarnish distributed a 4 -page supplement to the Master Plan report, which had been Inadvertently ommitted, consisting of a cost analysis chart and three scenarios addressing the noise problem. He then discussed those pages briefly. Zehr stated that the meeting had been called in order for the Commission to make some decisions regarding the sequence of Phase 3 --what to Include and exclude, and to then inform Kimball Associates of their requirements in a letter. Yarnish said Kimball recommends that the extension of runway 6/24 be included in the Plan, and that its inclusion or exclusion will have a significant Impact on many other aspects of the plan. Mr. Reeves added that a list of priorities from the Commission is necessary at this time. The members indicated that overlays and taxiways are probably of greatest priority. Reeves said that classification of runways should be done now. It was pointed out that Iowa City runways are twice as wide as required for general utility runways, and 50 feet wider that needed for basic transport runways. The Commission should decide now which kind they want so that a decision can be made as to what to do with the extra width. These decisions will also affect the width of any extensions which may be made in the future. Yarnish asked the Commission to review the recommendations of Kimball at this time and to accept or reject them, so that they can continue with the plan. Phipps and Bleckwenn agreed that the extension of a runway should be included in the plan, in order to keep the option open. Redick and Embree were opposed. Baumgardner pointed out that the Master Plan must be subjected to a formal public hearing, and that if the FAA does not approve It, it might still need a second public hearing. Mr. Blum of the Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission pointed out that if the extension is not included in the plan now, the Commission will probably not be able to protect the corridor from tall structures. Embree suggested that the Commission approve the Plan without the runway extension, but designate a preferred runway so that an extension could be ` planned for later. This would help the Plan pass a public hearing and also expedite the development of.1tems that are badly needed and mutually agreeable. MICROFILMED BY JORM MIC R+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES -2 - Reeves explained that the FAA regards short term plans as 0 to 5 years, intermediate plans as 5 to 10 years, and long range plans ase aerial easements 10 to 20 years. Baumgardner said that good planning would be to obtain th immediately, Reeves explained that a transcript of the public hearing will be included as part of the plan. The hearing should include testimony that will be derived from the plan, as well as criticism. He certain items of the as to the benefits fora plan which are agreeable could be submitted Pointed the FAA t approval at any time; they need not awalt the completion of the Master Plan, Discussion indicated that the members would like to proceed with the overlay of runway 17/35, the taxiway, and the segmented circle as soon as Possible. Mr. Blum suggested that runway 6/24 could be extended to make It as long as 17/35 and designated as the preferred runway, thus discouraginc; use of 17/35 and helping to solve the noise problem. Discussion revealed interest in this proposal. Bleckwenn moved to plan for extending runway 6/24 to re equal r length to runway 17/35 and to study the possibility of designatbe ing it as a preferential Rnedick abstained second by Embree. Embree, Phipps and Bleckwenn I voted aye, Baumgardner then asked if the Commission Is In agreement that Kimball Associates are finished with studying major alternatives and are free to proceed With Phase 3. Redick questioned two age 9 of t were resigned, Embree stated that, in her sopinion, the plan Isestilltas d they unacceptable as it ever was, but the Commission is going ahead with it as a matter of expediency, Redick also questioned area figures submitted by Mr. Byers and th setin thecreport. between the that the previous figures had been miscalculated. p Yarnish replied Baumgardner then reviewed Kimball's billing to the Commission to date and asked the Commission to pay, in accordance with the contract, Its share of the bill, pending reimbursement from the FAA for the difference. The total I bill to date is $33,520, less $500 $3,302 and Phipps moved that the Commissi n authorize theschairmanagret t pa the request Baumgardner said that Kimball willr advance reimbursement; submitanotherrbill for he ee- the remainder I of the study of major alternatives.

Pepper asked Scholten and Shaffer to check and see whether, and in what cases, Hawkeye can make substitutions or changes in channels, services and equipment offerings. DISCUSSION OF ACCESS RULES AND PROCEDURES Shaffer presented draft of Access Rules and Procedures. Overall these rules seem to be headed in the right direction. Basic questions were raised including whether and how to create a Program Advisory Committee and what functions it might handle. Work sessions on these rules will be held in the next two weeks. Citizen input is welcomed. DISCUSSION OF ACCESS FUNDING POLICIES Shaffer presented draft of these policies which concerned the allocation of the $5,000 per year for two contiguous years offered by Hawkeye for access programming. Generally these policies were considered a good start. A basic question as to when these funds should start was raised. More specific questions will be dealt with in the work sessions in the next two weeks. Input is invited from all concerned citizens. REPORT FROM SPECIALIST Shaffer reported progress in the development of all access channels with activities in contacting, surveys, presentations, rules and programming ideas all in process. A grant to the National Telecommunications Information Administration has been completed for additional access equipment. A letter has been drafted to ATC to attempt to speed the arrival of the access production equipment. BTC Goals and Objectives were unanimously approved. Legal Department says April 18, 1980 is correct system activation deadline. REPORT FROM HAWKEYE CABLEVISION Dahm reported their office building will be done in February. Tower construction can start after Janaury 16 if no appeals are filed with District Court. Hub site approval is pending with the Board of Regents.

Sando moved and Scott seconded a motion to adopt the minutes. Unanimously approved. SENIOR CENTER BUDGET Meisel reviewed the FY81 budget. Sando asked about accounting and financial charges. Meisel stated that there is no specific charge for this since it is assumed under the City's general budget. Williams requested information about the proposed telephone system. The Senior Center will have a separate number, different than the Civic Center main number. This will allow calls to come directly to the Senior Center, rather than be transferred from the Civic Center. It will also allow the Senior Center to answer incoming calls for participating agencies when they enot andpayaonthlyaserviceach chargecywill Staffingvforheir on thiswtypeloPotelephone system was discussed. Cuts in the current budget do not permit the hiring of a secretary. Berlin stated that the City's Word Processing unit would assist with some of its secretarial help, and the staff will discuss the possibility of a budget contribution with the County Board of Supervisors. Sando stressed the importance of adequately staffing the secretarial r position particularly in terms of responding to telephone calls. x Kattchee asked that each budget item be reviewed. Meisel explained that any planning -related cost is being funded from CDBG money. The staff's planning, program coordination and community organization activities during the next six months were briefly described. I Books, magazines and newspapers were budgeted for two purposes: 1) to I! keep the staff professionally updated in the field of aging; and 2) to keep the elderly informed about topics on aging through practical, non- technical books. The public library will cooperate by providing books at I the Senior Center. The use of hardcover books must be supervised. Magazine subscriptions are an additional cost. �I The tools and equipment category includes craft and recreational supplies as well as hammers, shovels, etc. The janitor and cleaning supplies will come from the City's janitorial pool and central supply source, rather than being budgeted for and supervised by the Senior Center. The original $10,000 for these items has been el Tor budget allocation ()Iinated.

The $35 budgeted for health care services can be eliminated since this item was to pay for an employment physical for the janitor. The amount budgeted for postage includes a monthly newsletter mailing to the county's 7,000 elderly. The Senior Center will also apply for a non- profit bulk mailing rate. Travel expenses, registration, meals, etc. refers to staff development and training costs which is covered by CDBG funds. Mileage funds from the County for Outreach is still available, and not reflected in this budget. Williams stressed that Outreach and contact with the elderly needs to be maintained. Sando moved and Williams seconded a motion that the Commission urge the City to find resources to fund the secretarial position at the time that the Senior Center opens. Unanimously approved. Williams also suggested that the position could be supplemented with work study employees. Williams moved and Sando seconded a motion that the Senior Center Commission adopt the budget with the amendment to fund the secretarial position. Four ayes, one abstention. Motion approved. Williams stated that she and Scott had attended the architect's Presentation of the plans to the City Council. She was pleased with the statements of support and commitment which the project received from the C i t.y Counc i 1. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Carlton reivewed the work of the Commission committee relative to developing goals and objectives. Williams questioned whether including "objectives" in this document made it too specific and task -oriented. Most of the objectives in the first draft were removed and recommended for inclusion in an operational handbook, since they were specific action steps to implement goals. The remaining objectives are still fairly generalized approaches to goal implementation. However it was recommended that these items not be termed objectives. Kattchee requested that sentence structure be simplified for easier reading. The Council of Elders will have an opportunity to reivew the goals and objectives, and make recommendations to the Commission prior to being forwarded to Lhr City Council. MEETING REGARDING COUNCIL ON AGING Meisel announced a planned meeting in January with representatives of the co -funders of the Council on Aging, the Senior Center Commission and the Council on Aging Board and Director. The next meeting will focus on fiscal and program planning and management by the Council on Aging, and will try to promote a consensus view of expectations and accountability. Berlin and Carlton expressed confidence that the meeting will produce positive results.
