The Honorable John Culver
U.S. Senator

Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Senator Culver:
The City of Iowa City may experience a transportation crisis of major
proportions in the near future, the consequences of which will impose
an economic hardship on our community not only immediately but also
well into the future.
The Rock Island Railroad, which has served Iowa City for many years,
is now being operated under an Interstate Commerce Commission order
by the Kansas City Terminal Railroad. I understand that this
arrangement is an interim measure, through March 1980, pending
submission and approval of a reorganization plan by the Rock Island
Railroad.
Apparently, the Kansas City Terminal Railroad intends to discontinue
this operation upon expiration of the ICC order, and further, the
courts have indicated that submission of the Rock Island's
reorganization plan will not be allowed. The effect of this
unfortunate combination of events upon Iowa City industry, commerce,
and future economic potential will be devastating. The Rock Island
Railroad now serves our major industrial park area and has always
been an integral factor for industrial growth in that area as well as
in our comprehensive planning for economic de elopment. In
addition, Iowa City and the University of Iowa will experience
greater difficulty in obtaining commodities, particularly fuel
supplies, which now enter our community via railroadshipments.
A shutdown of operations of the Rock Island Railroad will leave Iowa
City with only one link to the interstate railroad system, this being
the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City Railroad which is a spur line
connecting to that system in Cedar Rapids. It currently cannot serve
our industrial park.

The City of Iowa City views the present situation as a potential
crisis for our community and other similarly affected communities.
We need your support for and commitment to a national attitude
favorable to the preservation of an effective rail service network.
We are confident that you will join us in an effort to combat this
nationwide transportation crisis.
Sincerely yours,

MEMORANDUM
Date: February 1, 1980
To: City Council Legislative Committee /
From: Dale Helling, Assistant City Manager
Re: Meeting with Area Legislators
I have received and reviewed additional legislation since I composed my
January 30 memorandum. In order that you may have as much information as
Possible for the upcoming meeting, I am summarizing items of interest in
that legislation as follows:
1• A copy of HF2213 accompanies the January 30 memorandum. However, I
neglected to specifically mention this bill. Essentially it grants
the County Auditor the option of waiving the requirement for the
platting of subdivisions. The City Council would have the authority
to waive this requirement if the auditor refused. However, should
the auditor arbitrarily waive the requirement, the Council would
have no option to reestablish it. Planning staff strictly opposes
this bill.
2. HF2240 would make library circulation and registration records
confidential in the absence of a court order to the contrary. This
is a concept which has been supported by our Library Director for the
past several years.
3. HF2266 proposes to increase from 10% to 50% the amount of City fines
to be paid to the County. While this has not been costed out for Iowa
City, it would obviously deprive all cities of certain revenues for
which alternate sources are not available.
4. HF2268 would provide that Civil Service Commissions be restricted to
hearing grievances not subject to collective bargaining agreements.
Civil Service Commissions would have jurisdiction over matters
presently available defined
under collective bargaini g acode greements, ts,,hthe grievant would
thus be mandated to use the collective bargaining grievance
procedure and would be precluded from seeking remedy solely or
additionally through the Civil Service process. Staff would
strongly support this bill.
5. HF2281 would provide for a specific two year mandated term for
collective bargaining agreements and further prohibit wage reopener
bargaining unless government subdivisions are faced with inadequate
finances.
6. HF2285 would exempt from the open meetings statute a gathering for
travel purposes if no intent to circumvent the statute is present.
HHFM would allow subcommittees consisting of a non -majority of
members of a governmental body to meet in private without publishing

notice but would require minutes to be taken and made available to
the public. Both of these measures would somewhat minimize the
current administrative problems involved in complying with the open
meetings statute.
7. HF2293 would allow counties to levy up to 274 per one thousand
dollars property valuation for operation of an ambulance service.
8. HF2296 would increase the cigarette tax by 14 per pack, the proceeds
to be given to cities with full-time, professionally paid fire
departments to be used for "fire protection" purposes.
9. HF2272 would provide for a property tax credit for railroad property
at a rate of 50% of tax payable. A provision for reimbursement to
cities thus affected is included in this bill which would utilize
money from the State general fund.
There may be additional staff input regarding some of this legislation.
These bills have been received since January 30 and many
have not been addressed by staff personnel. This information is
provided for you so that you will have a chance to address all current
matters which you deem important at the Saturday meeting.
Note: As of yet I am unable to obtain a copy of the Housing Code amendment
bill referred to at the bottom of page 2 in my January 30 memorandum.
Housing and Inspection staff will review this bill and our recommendations
will be forwarded to the Council and to area legislators as soon as
possible after we are able to examine the provisions of that proposed
legislation.

Dear Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Kienzle:
Thank you for your letter of January 28, 1980, concerning the
intersection of Bradford Drive and First Avenue. I appreciate that
you are going to pursue this matter through the district -wide parent
organization. Shortly I expect to receive recommendations from that
group concerning the crossing guard program which will bring the
program into compliance with the budget guidelines established by

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 1, 1980
TO: City Council
FROM: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance R -J
RE: FY81-85 Capital Improvement Program
The Five Year CIP has been revised based upon Council's initial review
in December. Each project listing shows, under 'Prior Council Action,'
the preliminary decision made by Council. Those projects eliminated
from the CIP either permanently or temporarily have been listed on a
pending list.
Based upon this projected CIP, Graph I was prepared showing annual G.O.
Bond Issue: Actual bond issues in FY71-FY79 and projected bond issues
in FY80-FY85. Graph II shows outstanding G.O. Bonds from FY79-85 in
relationship to 80% of Legal Debt Margin. Both graphs assume that the
local share of the Waste Water Treatment Facility Projects will be
funded completely with G.O. Bonds rather than with Revenue Bonds.
Scott Boulevard, Phase I, would provide a roadway from Hwy. 6 to
American Legion Road. This project appears in the current CIP under
FY80 and therefore is not included in the FY81-85 CIP. As the project
will not be completed in FY80, it will be carried over or added to the
FY81 Budget.
Equipment Service Building Improvements is shown being funded with
G.O. Bonds because no road use tax monies will be available. This
bond issue would need voter approval. If the State Legislature
increases gas tax, there may be available road use tax funding for
this project. As this project was changed significantly, a memo from
Dick Plastino has been attached which describes the change.
The following funding costs appear on the project listing:

available.
i
(3) Compatibility with the City Council's goals.
i

the following guidelines:
A. General property tax and operating revenues, to the extent
available, shall be used for capital project financing.
B. When general property tax and operating revenues are not
available under the maximum tax rates permitted by law or
deemed advisable by the Council, financing of capital

bonds as outlined in Section 6 hereof.
C. Every effort shall be made to seek out state or federal
grants or assistance to offset a portion of the cost of
capital projects.

and general obligations of the City of Iowa City. They shall
have a maximum maturity of 20 years. The maturity schedule
shall provide for level principal amortization payments

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project is a dry bottom detention structure
with a height 30 feet above the creek bank. The length of the
structure is 580 feet and the width at the top is 16 feet. The average
width at the base is 240 feet. The structure will reduce peak flows
from 3,703 cubic feet per second to 264 cubic feet per second in the
100 year storm.
RELATIONSHIP TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This project was included as an
integral part of the Comprehensive Plan and is specifically
recommended under environmental goals and objectives (page 49, B. 3).
FUTURE YEAR BUDGET IMPACTS: For the first two years the dam and
adjacent area will require extensive watering to ensure growth of the
grass and tree and brush plantings. Estimated cost is approximately
$6,000 per year. A slight increase in operating budget will be needed
for Pollution Control to clean the pipe. This is approximately $1,000
per year.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: Continue with this project using a combination
of general obligation bonds and HCDA funds.

EQUIPMENT SERVICE BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project provides for the construction of a
new service building complex including 1) a fuel island facility, 2)
an equipment storage building, 3) remodeling of a locker room, 4)
remodeling space for Traffic Engineering, 5) construction of a
machine room and equipment division office, 6) construction of a salt
stockpile cover, 7) warehouse space for general City government, and
8) landscaping and fencing.
RELATIONSHIP TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This project relates to the
Comprehensive Plan's community facilities objective to make necessary
improvements to public office space to facilitate government
functions (page 35, B.7).
FUTURE YEAR BUDGET IMPACTS: There will be proportional increases in
the electric and gas utility bills at the service building. There
will be reduced expenditures due to better maintenance of equipment,
less frequent replacement of equipment due to inside storage, less
loss of salt from the open storage pile.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: The Council's decision was to obtain new
estimates on square footage costs and to delete the warehouse space
scheduled for construction in FY84. In obtaining new cost estimates,
staff found that all of the costs originally listed were low.
Therefore, several of the projects had been dropped and a revised
capital improvement project has been prepared. This project will be
funded with road use tax monies if the State raises gas tax and such
monies are available.

SOUTH BRANCH DETENTION STRUCTURE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project provides for the construction of a
dry bottom detention structure across the south branch of Ralston
Creek at Scott Boulevard. The structure will be an earth filled
embankment approximately 19 feet above the creek bed. The dam will be
71 feet wide at the top and approximately 190 feet wide at the bottom
with 4:1 side slopes.
I
RELATIONSHIP TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This project was included as an
integral part of the Comprehensive Plan and is specifically
recommended under environmental goals and objectives (page 49, B.3).
FUTURE YEAR BUDGET IMPACTS: The discharge pipe under the dam will
need occasional cleaning. This work will be done by the Pollution
Control Division of the Department of Public Works. A slight inc"ease
in operating budget ($1,000 plus or minus) will be needed to cover
personnel costs, materials, and motor vehicles. The impoundment area
upstream from the dam will be planted with a low fertility grass. The
area will not be mowed or manicured and will serve as open space.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: Continue with this project with the funding
being 100 percent HCOA funds.

PRAIRIE OU CHIEN PARK
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project is a new neighborhood park of
approximately ten acres in the northeast part of town east of Prairie
du Chien.
RELATIONSHIP TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan map
specifically illustrates the location of a neighborhood in this
vicinity.
FUTURE YEAR BUDGET IMPACTS: The impact on future operating budgets
will be light as this project will be maintained for the most part in
its natural state.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: Staff should investigate mandatory park
dedication and/or the possibility of using a portion of a stormwater
detention area for a park that would be maintained by the City. These
projects have been left in the CIP as originally scheduled.

MEMORANDUM
Date: & cember 28, 1979
To: City Council
From: Dick Plastino
Re: Capital Improve t roject/Equipment Service Building Improve-
ment Project
On December 20, the Council reviewed several capital improvement projects
submitted by Public Works.
Council asked that the cost be reviewed for several construction items
proposed for the service building complex. These costs were reviewed with
an architect.
Essentially, Public Works found that all of the costs listed were low.
After considering the high cost of some of the projects and Council's
direction to keep the cost as low as possible, several of the projects
have been dropped. A revised capital improvement sheet is attached to
this memo together with the cost estimates.
The projects that have been dropped are:
1. salt stockpile cover;
2. landscaping and fencing; and
3. additional vehicle storage space beyond that provided by the Iowa
Plate Glass building.
The cost for additional vehicle storage was $492,000; for the salt
stockpile cover $84,000; and for landscaping $40,000. These items would
be desirable but the funding is simply not available and they must be
deleted.
In summary, Public Works submits the revised capital improvement project
sheet for consideration.

UNIT DESCRIPTION:
The Development Division has three primary responsibilities: (1)
Coordination and monitoring of the downtown redevelopment program; (2)
Design and implementation of the City's Economic Development Program in
accordance with City Council decisions; (3) Administration of all City land
acquisition and disposition activities.
UNIT GOALS:
The Division's goals are to facilitate and achieve the timely completion of
the Urban Renewal Program and to increase the City's industrial/commercial
tax base through community economic development.
UNIT OBJECTIVES:
1. Monitor compliance with all urban renewal contracts, coordinate
downtown redevelopment activities, and facilitate the completion of
Parking Ramp B and Phase II of the CBD Streetscape Improvement Project.
2. Design and implement an Economic Development Program and assist private
sector groups which seek to encourage the economic development of the

The Development Division has three primary responsibilities: (1)
Coordination and monitoring of the downtown redevelopment program; (2)
Design and implementation of the City's Economic Development Program in
accordance with City Council decisions; (3) Administration of all City land
acquisition and disposition activities.
ADVANTAGES/BENEFITS:
- Provides the capability for the City 'to assume a limited role in
economic development. This activity will encourage and assist private
sector groups seeking to encourage economic development.
- Will encourage expansion of the non-residential tax base to correct tax
base imbalance and shift the burden from residential property.
- All CIP submissions will be systematically reviewed for consistency
with the Comprehensive Plan. All land acquisition and disposition
activities will be more efficiently carried out by undertaking the
activity as a specialized program within a single department.
- Provides for centralized retention of appraisal services, and
centralized administration of land acquisition and disposition
activity.
OPTIONS:
- The City could leave economic development activity completely in the
private sector.
- Each department could insure its CIP submissions corresponded to the
Comprehensive Plan. Each department could undertake its own
acquisition activities.
Each department which is the user of land acquired or sold could pay
their own acquisition/disposition expenses.
CONSEQUENCES:
rxpenses incurred by other departments will increase due to the need for each
department to fully plan for their own capital projects, and to carry out
their own land acquisition activity. The efficiency of CIP review and land
acquisition activity will decrease due to the decentralization. The economic
development of Iowa City will receive no assistance or guidance from the City
and will result in a lack of enhancement of the local tax base. The
administration of acquisition/disposition appraisal activity will be less
efficient. Prucedural errors are likely to be higher.

laws requiring local enforcement must be enforced as prescribed or the City
runs the risk of extended liability in case of loss of life, property or
injury if neglect or lack of "good faith" can be demonstrated. This unit
usually operates on revenues generated by enforcement activities.
OPTIONS:
The City could assume greater exposure and run the risks of poor or non-
existant enforcement of ordinances.
CONSEQUENCES:
Claims and lawsuits would increase. Since the City is self-insuring, more
tax money would have to pay any awards.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
FUND: GENERAL DEPARTMENT: HOUSING & INSPECTION SERV.
PROGRAM: COMMUNITY UNIT: MINIMUM HOUSING INSPECTION
PROTECTION
UNIT DESCRIPTION:
To provide inspection and enforcement services as required by the Housing
Code, to include responding to citizen complaints regarding alleged housing
problems, inspecting and licensing rooming houses and multiple dwellings.
To further enforce the Code requirement by systematically inspecting
specific neighborhoods. To enforce the State Code as it pertains to housing
and fire protection in residential structures and to assist the Building
Official in the sidewalk snow removal program.
UNIT GOAL:
To investigate citizen complaints and pursue enforcement of the code. To
research funding options and enforcement practices and make improvements
concerning inspection activities.
UNIT OBJECTIVES:
1. To inspect and license all multiple dwellings and rooming houses at
least once per year.
2. To develop procedures and update a program of enforcement of the State
Fire Code.
3. To continue development of informational programs including pamphlets,
newsletters, speaking engagements and press releases to help inform the
citizenry regarding the codes.
4. To streamline procedures and improve recordkeeping by using new forms
and updating microfilming and other aids to maximize field time on the
part of the inspector.
5. To provide a higher level of citizen service by initiating walking
surveys while allowing the Housing Inspector to assist in the
enforcement of the sidewalk snow removal ordinance.
6. To research and report to the City Council methods of licensing and
inspecting rental single family and two-family homes on a regular basis.

CURRENT SERVICE LEVEL
UNIT OESCR1P11ON:
To provide limited enforcement of the Minimum (lousing Occupancy and
Maintenance Code by inspecting as many multiple dwellings and rooming houses
as possible throughout the year. To investigate citizen complaints and to
enforce the Minimum State Housing Code, the State Fire Code, and the
Municipal Snow Ordinance. Funding this level would provide for one Housin6
Inspector and one-half of the Senior Housing inspector.
ADVANTAGES/BENEFITS:
By funding this level, spot inspections would be made of multiple dwellings
and rooming houses. Minimum enforcement of the Housing Code would be pursued
and all efforts would be made'to relieve any tort liability on the part of the
City. Rental permits generate revenue which would lessen the demand for
property tax money used to support this service and citizen complaints would
be investigated within a reasonable period of time.
ON IONS;
The City could a,.k that the County assume the responsibility for housing
inspection or reduce the staff to one part -lime inspector to respond only to
citizen complaints. The Fire Department could inspect for State Fire Code
violations and the Snow Ordinance could either be repealed or ignored.
CONSEQUENCES:
Claims against the City would be levied due to lack of enforcement of the
State and Municipal Housing Codes and more tax money would have to pay for
any such awards. The City would experience deterioration of residential
neighborhoods since lack of enforcement would bring about numerous
uncorrected health and safety hazards.

EXPANDED SERVICE tEVFI,
UNIT DESCRiPTION:
This level would provide funding for threo Housing Inspectors and one-half of
the Senior (lousing Inspector previously funder) by CDOG. Enforcement of the
Minimum flousing Occupancy and Maintenance Code would he held at the same
level of enforcement that has been initiated since 1977. The State Fire Code
and Snow Ordinance would be enforced by trained and experienced inspectors.
ADVANiAGES/BENEFITS:
Funding this level, the Housing Inspection Division would be able to meet the
requirements of State law, in that all dwelling units and rooming units would
he inspected on an annual basis. The City would benefit by its minimized
exposure regarding tort liability. The overall protection of the public's
health and safety could be shown with continuance of policies such as
responding to citizen complaints within a 24-hour period. All apartments and
rooming. houses would be checked for fire code violations prior to licensing
far rental and illegal conversions would be minimized.
OPi1Gl1;:
Ili(! responsibility of enforcing the State Housing Code could be referred to
the Johnson County Health Department and the Fire Department could inspect
for State Fire Code violations. The municipal snow ordinance could either be
repealed or ignored.
CONSEQUENCES:
if we do not fund this level, we would be open to law suits due to violations
of State law since most apartments and rooming houses would not be inspected
annually. The City could experience increased deterioration of residential
neighborhoods and more tax money would have to be expended for legal
Protection.

UNIT DESCRIPTION:
To provide minimum level of required inspection, permitting, licensing and
enforcement measures as required by all City regulatory codes including
mandatory state codes.
ADVANTAGES/BENEFITS
Tlie safeguarding of the public health and safety of our citizens is enhanced
by providing minimum code enforcement activites including code required
minimum inspections of plumbing and electrical rough -in and final; bu;lding
footings, frame, drywall, final; sidewalk replacement and new construction,
snow removal; signs and zone use regulations. This level of staffing
minimizes exposure to liability of the City for claims and lawsuits.
OPTIONS:
Staff could be reduced to be on this level. We would be able to provide
advice and issuance of permits but no field inspections. All print reviews
LDuld be conducted by the international Conference of Building Officials.
Planning and Program Development could do all zoning work.
CONSEQUENCES:
Absent of field inspections may create some legal problems'. Lack of field
inspections would result in code violations and extensive liability to the
City. Absence of field inspections would result in construction work being
dune without a permit and revenue would be severely reduced. Full-time use
of planning and Programming and InternaLional Conference of Building
Officials personnel wuuld cause lengthy delays and would promote
circumvention of regulatory codes and life safety practices.

MEMORANRUM
Date: January 30, 1980
To: Mike Kucharzak Y
' '
From: Glenn Siders' 1 fjff
Re: Second Floor Liquor Establishment
Mike, as you are aware, a building permit has been issued for some
alterations on the second floor of the Knights of Columbus Hall
located at 328 E. Washington Street. The upper part of the KC Hall
will now be known as the Crow's Nest, which is a liquor
establishment. To my knowledge, the. upper floor of the KC Hall has
always served liquor, held dances, etc. etc. with all the proper
permits, so a change in occupancy for this establishment has not
occurred. The only change that has been made is instead of the KC's
renting the upper part for such activities as private parties,
wedding receptions, and fraternal events, it will now be leased to
operate more frequently to an independent business person. As you
are also aware, it is my opinion that this violates no ordinances
that the City of Iowa City now enforces. In December, 1978, the
Council held one reading on a proposed ordinance to ban liquor
establishments on any level other than the ground level; however,
this ordinance is now in the City Clerk's deferred file and no
further action was taken after the first reading. A copy of that
ordinance is attached to this memorandum for your reference. This
memorandum is merely to provide you with some backup information in
case the issuance of a building permit for this establishment should
be questioned by anyone. If you should have any other questions or
need any more information, please let me know. Thank you.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 2605 TO
REQUIRE THAT AN ESTABLISHMENT FOR WHICH A
LIQUOR CONTROL LICENSE OR BEER PERMIT IS
ISSUED SHALL BE LOCATED ON THE GROUND FLOOR OF
A BUILDING AND SHALL CONTAIN WINDOWS WHICH
PERMIT VISIBILITY OF ITS INTERIOR FROM THE

visibility of its interior from the publicway.
An establishment will meet this requirement if
the area devoted to the dispensing and storage
of beer and liquor is located on the ground
floor and 70% of the area accessible to the
public is located on the ground floor. An
establishment will be considered to be on the
ground floor if it is located on a mall level.

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 30, 1980
To: City Council
From: Dick Plastino
Re: Meeting -Console of Cambus,
Coralville Transit
Iowa City Transit and
iMEETING DATE: January 25, 1980
PERSONS IN ATTENDANCE: Randy Bezanson - University of Iowa; Ray
Mossman - University of Iowa; Mike Kattchee,
Mayor of Coralville; Neal Berlin, City Manager,
Iowa City; Hugh Mose, 'transit Manager, Iowa
City; Richard Plastino, Iowa City; Karl
Stundins, Johnson County Regional Planning
Commission
The purpose of the meeting was to have a preliminary discussion about
transit consolidation. Although a study was done in 1974 by the Johnson
County Regional Planning Commission on this subject, little has happened
in the way of actual accomplishment.
The Iowa Department of Transportation Transit Division has routinely
exempted the transit systems of Iowa City/Cambus/Coralville from
directives that require consolidation before receiving State and Federal
funding. Since it is possible that IDOT may cease to exempt the area,
discussions were felt to be necessary at this point in time.
The representative of each agency outlined the advantages and
disadvantages to each system if consolidation would occur.
The University of Iowa has a relatively new transit maintenance facility
and adequate personnel to staff the system. This system is partially
financed with student fees and the University felt that there would be
resistance to a consolidation. If a consolidation were to occur an
entirely new transit garage would be needed. The University questioned
what benefit would occur to the University by the large expenditure
necessary to fund this garage.
Coralville also has relatively new transit facilities although the
facility is becoming undersized as transit ridership continues to
increase. While there appeared to be some advantages to consolidation
with Coralville, this would be a sensitive political situation. There was
also the realization that the State transit aid in past years has been
greater for two separate systems than it would be for one combined system.
There was some discussion about consolidation of engine rebuild and
transmission rebuild. Plastino pointed out that engine and transmission
rebuild in the Iowa City system are already consolidated to the extent
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MIC R+LA8
CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES
x
that one individual does the work on the general City fleet and also on
the transit fleet. Any consolidation of only transit engine and trans-
mission rebuild would necessitate a deconsolidation of Iowa City's
rebuild system.
There was further discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of
consolidation. At this time it appears that the major incentive for
consolidation would be a mandate by the State and Federal government that
consolidation must occur before there would be further financial aid. In
the absence of that threat, there is little advantage to any system in
consolidation.
Plastino mentioned that a second study on this matter had been done in
1976 by Barton-Aschman. While the study indicated some potential cost
savings it also outlined the many obstacles to consolidation. 4 copy of
that portion of the report is attached.
The meeting adjourned with the realization that the three transit
operators involved would continue to coordinate their operations, but
that further consolidation efforts would probably not be successful in the
absence of a strong financial incentive from the State and Federal
government.

unscheduled maintenance of the city's 19 buses. These are mainly GMC
45 -passenger, new look vehicles. Normally, the light servicing is done by Equip-
ment Division mechanics at the bus garage, with preventive maintenance and
heavy repairs done at the Equipment Division shops. Buses receive priority
attention—after fire and police vehicles. In addition to the Iowa City transit
operation, the University of Iowa operates a 20 -bus system called CAMBUS.
CAMBUS is oriented to the students' needs and operates primarily in and around
the campus area. The City of Coralville also operates a transit system with a
five -bus ffeet.
' Consolidation Issues
The existence of three relatively small bus systems within an urban area of
approximately 60,000 people naturally raises the question of unification. There are
several major consolidation issues which require attention early in the considera-
tion of Iowa City's total maintenance facility needs:
1. Should any two, or all three, transit systems be consolidated in terms o1
storage and maintenance—not to mention management and administration?
(Jurisdictional Consolidation)
2. Should the maintenance and storage of the buses be combined (consolidated) ,
with the rest of Iowa City's public vehicle fleet? (Corporate Consolidation)
These two questions are the subject of this section. The following discussion
and conclusions are based upon discussions with (a) university officials, (b) City
of Coralville transit and public works officials, (c) appropriate Iowa City staff, and
(d) analysis of the impact of consolidation plus the consultant's professional
judgment on this subject.

There is no doubt that a community of 60,000 people which needs, say, 45 to 50
buses for transit service would build a single bus maintenance and storage facility.
However, the Iowa City -University of Iowa-Coralville situation is quite different
from that of a single unified community. Hence, the issue of consolidation must
also be examined from institutional, administrative/ management, fiscal (local),
and political perspectives. These are addressed on the following pages.

Evaluation of Consolidation of Transit System Facilities
A series of quantitative analyses were performed to measure the "economy -of -
scale" effect that several consolidation strategies would bring about. These results
are shown on Tables 9, 10, 11, and 12 and Figure 5. In summary, the basic findings
I
are:
1
1. There would be very little, if any, economy in combining the city and university
bus storage and maintenance operations in terms of building space needs.
j2.
Similarly, the total site area would not be appreciably reduced by combining
I
only the two larger operations. A 12 percent savings in total site is possible by
consolidating all three operations.
i
3. Considerable savings (up to 18 percent) are possible if all transit functions
could be combined (maintenance, storage, transportation, administration, etc.)
4. As the bus fleet grows in size, the scale -of -economy relative to major equip-
ment and spare components becomes fairly significant. For example, two
20 -bus systems would each require one service vehicle, whereas, a 40 -bus
system could function with only one vehicle.
5. The total number of maintenance personnel per bus is reduced as the bus fleet
increases in size. For example, two 20 -bus systems would each require four
mechanics and one serviceman for a total of 10 people (4.0 buses/person).
9
A single 40 -bus system would require seven mechanics and a serviceman one-
half time (supported by a cyclone cleaner and an automatic washer); for a total
of eight people (5.0 buses/person).
I
tl
The analytical evaluation of the three bus systems suggests that there is some
merit in consolidation. Beyond the tangible savings in land and building area, as
well as personnel -related costs, there are certain intangible benefits that might be
E
gained, including:
Attraction of more highly qualified supervisory personnel as well as mechanics,
due to the larger size, more impressive operation.
r
pHigher
quality maintenance due to more specialized equipment and tools—
including bus washer and cyclone cleaner.
There is no doubt that a community of 60,000 people which needs, say, 45 to 50
buses for transit service would build a single bus maintenance and storage facility.
However, the Iowa City -University of Iowa-Coralville situation is quite different
from that of a single unified community. Hence, the issue of consolidation must

Jurisdirlional Considerations Regarding Consolidation
There are a nurnber of practical reasons for the university to resist the consolida-
tion of its CAMBUS operation with the Iowa City transit system (both from a
maintenance/ storage standpoint and operationally). These are:
1. The operating hours are substantially different. The city service operates
between 6:00 A.M. and 6:30 P.M., six days a week, while CAMBUS operates
five days a week from 6:00 A.M. to midnight.
2. The university's present bus maintenance and storage facility is of adequate
size for the planned future operation of about 20 buses.
3. The university's physical plant and CAMBUS officials believe the present
maintenance staff is competent.
4. The current organizational arrangement is not complex and insures that when
a CAMBUS vehicle is in need of repair it will receive top priority; i.e., a positive
maintenance response now exists.
5. A portion of the maintenance and servicing operation is done by work-study
students and 80 percent of their salaries is paid by federal funds. This results
in considerable economy for CAMBUS.
In addition to these tangible considerations, it must be understood that a
portion of the CAMBUS budget is supported through student fees. A legitimate
concern of university officials is that the students would probably be less
enthusiastic about paying this fee if the "student run" flavor of the university's bus
system were diluted (or eliminated) through some form of consolidation.
In summary, it does not appear there is any compelling reason, financially or
otherwise, for the university to seek consolidation of its bus operation with that of
the city. In fact, current institutional and management conditions argue for
separate operations—at least until the work-study program phases out (this seems
very remote at the present time).
The question of combining the Coralville and Iowa City fleets is somewhat more
straightforward. This is due primarily to the fact that Coralville is currently in the
process of constructing a new bus storage and maintenance garage. The abandon-
ment of this facility in the next few years could well be a difficult political
problem—not to mention potential financial loss. Also, as in the case of the
CAMBUS, the Coralville system has a different operating day than Iowa City (6:00
A.M. to midnight versus 6:00 A.M. to 6:30 P.M.). Finally, Coralville has as much
interest in "priority maintenance response" as either the university or Iowa City.
The situation of one jurisdiction owning and operating a maintenance facility and
contracting maintenance service to other jurisdictions is an open invitation to
intergovernmental friction.

Jurisdictional Consolidation Conclusions
The Iowa City-Coralville transit development program report published by the
Johnson County Regional Planning Commission (December, 1974) dealt at some
length with the problems and opportunities attendant to the coordination and
consolidation of the area's three transit systems. This report identified a number of
ways in which coordination of these three autonomous services are being effected
at the present time. Additionally, recommendations were made to strengthen
cooperative ties. Considerable discussion was devoted to the specific subject of
jurisdictional consolidation versus continued separateness (for a complete
discussion of the major advantages and disadvantages of either course of action,
Section VII of the transit development program report should be reviewed).
Two basic conclusions were reached in the Johnson County report regarding
consolidation: I
1. The concept of closer coordination of the three transit systems was embraced—
even to the extent of some form of unification or consolidation. However, no
firm recommendation was made along this line. The issues of consolidation
are primarily of a legal, labor, institutional, and last, but most certainly not
least, political nature. Finally, the transit development program indicated that
when the pros and cons are tallied, there is no clear-cut answer.
2. Notwithstanding the fact that formal, regional transit -authority type unifica-
tion might not happen soon, if ever, the program proposed "that a control
maintenance and storage facility be constructed in Iowa City, and that it
function as a joint facility for servicing the transit vehicles of all three
systems."
During the past year, since the completion of the transit development program,
the City of Coralville has constructed a new bus maintenance facility. This was not
contemplated in the program. In addition, the institutional and management
issues which relate to unification of CAMBUS with the maintenance and storage of
the Iowa City bus fleet, seems, to this consultant, to strongly restrain consolida-
tion at this time.
Accordingly, it is recommended that the concept of consolidating either the
Coralville or university bus storage and maintenance operations with that of Iowa
City be dropped at this time. Iowa City should proceed on a course of action that
provides for the best possible maintenance and operations of its fleet. However,
such actions should not further preclude eventual future consolidation of all three
operations.
Corporate Considerations Regarding Consolidation
The second major consolidation question deals with the separation of the transit
maintenance operation from the maintenance operation for the other city

` From: Richard J. Plastino, Director of Public Works
Re: Closing of Clinton and Madison/Access to Ramp A
The present schedule calls for Clinton Street to be closed for sewer
construction on approximately April 1. The contract specifications
for Clinton Street require the contractor to maintain access to the
parking garage from Burlington Street.
Viggo M. Jensen plans to have Ramp A completely done by mid to late
May. At such time as the Capitol Street entrance and exit has been
completed, traffic will be switched to Capitol Street for entering
'and exiting the ramp.
In summary, on approximately April 1, Clinton Street will be
completely closed from Burlington to Washington with the exception
of access to the parking garage.

DEAD ANIMALS PICKED UP FROM STREETS IMPOUNDMENT REVENUE (in dollars)
A & C - comparison correlates active enforcement and patroling to resultant lower complaints.
B - '72-177 show increasing problems resulting from stray cats. The decline from '77-'79 '
can be contributed to public participation and increased availability of live traps,
to solve stray cat problems.
C - The years '73-'79 appear to show a rather stable population of stray dogs impounded with
present maximum enforcement level (one vehicle - 7 day/waek operation).
D - With continued education of the public the possibility exists that more animals are
being spayed and neutered and consequently less excess puppies being brought to the
Shelter to be disposed of. The continued policy from '757179 of promoting owner
responsibility rather than munincipal responsibility has contributed to reduced intake
of owner animals.
E.- Sharp increases between '75 & '76 is a result of increased reporting level from Drs,
and hospitals. Dog and Cat bites continua to present serious public health problems. )
Cat bites have resulted in several children undergoing painful anti -rabies series. With ++
an active licensing program which.is proposed for FY81, a higher percentage of animals '?
will become vaccinated against rabies.
C - Requires no explanation - Less animals at large - less animals killed on the streets.
11 - Impoundment revenues are predicted to level out as shown in impoundment levels (C).
Records indicated a sizeable portion of revenues coma from repeated violators. It has
been effectively shown in-other'cities that graduated higher reclaim fees for repented,:;
violators, results in lower percentage of repeats and increased revenve.

Our dog reclaim percentages are significantly above national averages,
however with increased licensing and public awareness of the importance
of identification, we hope to reach a 75% reclaim rate by the end of FY82.
AN PULS LICENSED '77 '78 '794he year the Shelter took over licensing from the
899 895 1209 City Clerks Office)
We show an embarrassing low licensing rate of only 15% of the estimate of 8,000 -10,000 dog
population. (1 dog/5 people is the national average) Cat licensing of the estimated 4,000-6,000
cats is even lower. In this time of budget problems and searching for increased revenues, it
has been shown repeatedly that effective licensing is a viable choice. An efficient licensing
program is basic and should be foremost in an effective animal control program. An effective
licensing program not only increases revenues but reduces the numbers of animals handled and
euthanized. "a license is a call home for a pet without a dime." Provided the Council
approves the necessary changes in the license ordinance, we hope to achieve a 407, license rate
by the end of calendar year 81.
The animal control program was involved in a major animal abuse case in 1979 which
resulted in the necessary impoundment of several dogs. The delay in court proceedings
resulted in boarding fees of $1,500.00. Due to our present ordinance the City had no
recourse for recovery of these board fees. This case also brought to light the inadequacies
and vagueness of the animal welfare sections of our present ordinance. The defendant was
found not guilty of the City charge - due to the vagueness of the ordinance, however a guilty
verdict was rendered in four State charges. The resultant jail sentence of 5 days is a mileston
in Iowa, as this is the first time such a sentence has been handed down in an animal cruelty cas

Dear Mayor Balmer,
RECEIVED FCD 1 1980
Synthesis Studio
104 E. Jefferson St.
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
(319) 351.3720
As a follow up to the public bearing on Tuesday, January 29, 19800 I would
like to share with the council updated information about UAY's current programs
and funding sources. Please also refer to monthly board minutes, finance state—
ments, and quarterly statistics for detailed information about our activity.
The UAY board is aware of the constraints the City Council faces in determin—
ing its Fiscal 1981 budget. The request for City funds of $350011 takes into
account the limited avialability of City funds for Iltmtan Services. You may recall
that our salary increases last year were approximately four (4) ,,at while inflation
rose at a discouraging rate of thirteen (13) 716. Again this year we are attempting
to maintain salary increases at seven (7) — ten (10) %, which will still create
a net loss in earning power.
While $35000 is a sizable request, it represents less than thirty (30)
of our projected Fiscal 1981 budget. UAY has relied on its Iowa City Aid to
Agency funding as a foundation to develop additional state and federal funding
1
sources. UAY in recent years has demonstrated the ability to utilize state and
federal grants to pay for the services provided to Iowa City youth and families
Q in need of assistance. While developing a number of state and federal grants to
E funil portions of our Fiscal 1981 program, the status of Johnson County within
the Eastern Iowa Area Crime Commission is still. in question. As a result, we are
f currently ineligible for any LEAA juvenile justice funding. I have requested
I assistance from the State Crime Commission staff to determine if there are other
avenues through which we can apply for juvenile justice funds.
The Outreach Program continues to provide counseling and crisis intervention
information and referral services to individual youth and families. In Fiscal
1979, Outreach services were provided to over 250 young people of which 180
resided in Iowa City. The Synthesis Program also reached over 100 individual
youth. In providing services, UAY made over 12,000 service contacts of which over
7000 were with youth and nearly 1000 with parents. As you might suspect, the number
one area of conflict was with family problems.

PROPOSAL FOR IMPROVED LIGHTING IN IOWA CITY
Submitted by Citizens for Lighting and Safer Streets
in affiliation with
The Women and Safety Task. Force
of the
Johnson County/Iowa City National Organization of Women
February 1, 1980

Rationale
In certain areas, particularly the near North—East side, dark
streets and sidewalks constitute a major concern regarding personal
safety and crime against both persons and property. Previous research
has indicated that well—lit streets lead to a heightened perception of
safety on the part of pedestrians and residents. There is also tentative
support for the reduction of crime, assaults, etc., in many cities where
lighting projects were attempted. Thus, the objective of this proposal
is to improve street lighting in Iowa City in order to promote a safer
environment for its citizens.
In recent years, there have been a series of requests for more
lighting from residents. In general, these requests were turned down
since, when such locations were surveyed, the current lighting met
Council policy standards for residential areas, e.g., one light per
each intersection unless the block is over 600 feet in length.
However, this standard may still result in dark or unsafe areas due to
the direction of the existing light(s), folliage, or the need for
additional lighting on the block.
An additional problem is that the residential lighting system
is geared towards the illumination of intersections (horizontal) rather
than sidewalks (vertical). Consequently, while an intersection may be
well lit, for example, the corner of Gilbert and Church, the surrounding
sidewalk may be dark and difficult to negotiate for pedestrians (the
500 block df North Gilbert).

Therefore, we suggest that the City of Iowa City may need to change
i
its lighting policy for certain poorly lit areas. Before taking
j generalized action, the City should test the efficiency of improved
and/or increased lighting for the benefit of all citizens, including
those persons walking, living in, and parking cars in dark areas, and
those persons who must travel through said areas to reach other areas
of the city.
Area
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICR+LAB
CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES
Therefore, we propose the following pilot lighting project for one
of the darkest, and unsafest areas of Iowa City: an area bounded by
Burlington Street on the.South, Clinton Street on the West, Brown Street
on the North, and Governor Street on the East. (See map.)
Project
The components of this project should include:
1. An emphasis on clearing foliage which is obstructing existing
p
street lights.
2. Possible redirection of existing street lights.
k!
3. Additional street lights where needed.
4. This program should run for at least one year for maximum
i
accumulation of data for evaluation.
Responsibility for Project
The major responsibility for this project should reside with the
P
City of Iowa City and related agencies, e.g., Public Works the Police
Department, and the Rape Victim Advocacy Program, with input from
1
concerned individuals within and surrounding the target area. Evaluation
i
of the project should be conducted by City staff and relevant professionals
readily available through the University of Iowa, such as sociologists

criminologists, and urban planners.
Potential Project Funding
1. General funds
2. Capital improvement
3. Revenue Sharing
4. Block Grants
Research Design/Evaluation
We suggest utilizing the LEAA (1979) proposal for evaluation of
project results.
In terms of evaluation, the pilot project area should be divided
into two parts or treatments:
1. The area North of Market Street and
2. The area South to Burlington Street.
In the former, (North.of Market), there would be not only improvement
of lighting, but also a Neighborhood Safety Project which is currently being
conducted by the Rape Victim Advocacy Program. The second area (South to
Burlington Street) would receive only increased lighting. We propose
that a third area, South of Burlington Street of Page and Benton Streets,
be included as a control area (no change in lighting or Neighborhood
Safety Project).
Measures/Indicators
We propose these criterion for evaluation.
1. Reports of crime to the Iowa City Police Department.
2. Reports of sexual harrassment, assault, and rape to the
Rape Victim Advocacy Program.

3. A random sampling of citizens within the total project area
should receive a questionnaire designed to measure attitudinal and
behavioral changes.
In this manner, suitable data can be collected to provide for a
satisfactory evaluation of the lighting project since comparisons can
be drawn between and within the three designated areas before and after
the lighting intervention.
Suggested Statistical techniques:
t—test, chi—square, regression, and time—series analysis
Problems/Constraints
1. Regression artifacts
The high incidents of crime, and assaults within this area may
regress to the mean of such activities. With careful control and baseline
data for incidences (3 pervious years or 36 months) this problem can be
diminished.
2. Technological
Most standards for lighting are geared to horizontal visibility for
intersections rather than vertical visibility for sidewalks. However,
recent lighting projects in other cities have shown that residential
lighting can be improved with existing lighting systems and supplements,
if the sidewalk lighting situation is taken under consideration.
3. Energy/Costs
In the age of energy conservation a major concern is the energy
consumption of streetlights. However, street lights in the United
States account for only .18% of the total energy consumption (LEAH, 1979).
Thus, an increase in energy utilization by improved streetlighting
i
MICROFILMED BY
5 JORM MICR+LAB
CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES
8
would be minimal. By the use of efficient street lights, the costs of
adding more lights would lead to only small increments in Iowa City
energy consumption. In addition, by including the most effective use of
existing lights and making foliage meet recommended distance standards
in the pilot area, the costs of increased lighting can be held to the
minimum.
Revised cost estimates
In order to facilitate the implementation and evaluation of the
project according to LEAH standards/suggested project design, we estimate
that approximately $12,000 be allocated for imporved lighting project costs
and $ 3,000 for evaluation (survey, computer, consultation)
$15,000 minimal project costs
Conclusion
Obviously, improved streetlighting by itself will not totally
decrease the incidence of sexual assault, and crime, or all the
problems connected with unsafe or dark areas. However, in coordination
with other strategies of the Police Department and neighborhood safety/
awareness programs, increased streetlighting can lead to a safer
environment and greater perceptions of safety for the citizens of Iowa
City. Therefore, we strongly urge the City of Iowa City to fund this
streetlighting program and make our streets pleasant, safe, and easily
accessible for all persons.

Fiscal Wa chdog
Fees vs. User Charges
by Robert W. Poole, Jr.
What's it police chief doing involved with garbage
ndlvclioll? Thal's what many Los Angeles residents
wondered all summer, as Chief Uaryl F. Gates cam.
paignrd mightily for the City Council to enact a
rubbish cnlhrainn fee. Ending a tradition of "free"
city garbage service, the new fee (from $1.50 to
$5.00 per month) would have raised $10 million a
year for the city coffers.
And that is dee key to the police chiefs interest.
For instead of just supporting garbage collection, the
fee would have put an extra $4 million into the
police and fire department budgets. No wonder
outraged voters denounced the fee as just another
tax, contravening the intent of Proposition 19,
Much the same thing has been occurring all across
California in the wake of Prop. 19. Santa Clara
County increased its subdivision fee from $50 to
51,900: Oceanside increased zone change fres from
1300 ul $1,500. And many formerly "free" services
suddenly began coming with fres attached swim•
ming pools, museums, even street sweeping. All told,
California rities recouped about 19% of their lost
property tax revenue frnm new it increased fees in
the first full year after Prop. 19.
Unfortunately, the well•juslified outrage over the
imposition of new fees to raise revenues is obscuring
an important distinction. "That's the difference be.
nvern it fee and it user charge. A fee an arbitrary
amount of money imposed by a government for per.
mission In engage in some activity (adding a room,
opening a business, etc.) is really just a tax, pure
and simple, no matter what label is attached to it.
A liver charge is something else again. It's defined
as a charge for a government -provided service
ha.sed on the amnunl or It -vel of .service demanded
by lir provided if, the user. A user charge is a
"public price for it publir product" and is,
economically speaking, very much like it prier
charged in the marketpla(e.
Generally, pruple :Ire hrner off when their public
services ;are paid for by user charges rather than lax

bra Ibnsr winid rather lug Ihr can themselves if it
nu•ais a saving fill du• hill.
There are other benefits as well. Pricing helps to
reduce congestion, especially if there are problems of
overcrowding at certain times a low or zero swim•
ming pool admission charge at non -busy times can
help shift demand away from overcrowded hours.
User charges call also help solve such urban prob.
lems as declining downtowns and urban sprawl, City
officials have complained for years abort being
ripped off by commuters, who live in till- suburbs
where taxes are low but wnrk lir slop in the city
where they lake advantage of Ihp many public ser.

residents. instead of Irving in tax Ihr inromrs if Ilw

developments. Since these costs are spread over all
the taxpayers (nm just those who move into the new
development), existing residents end up subsidizing
newcomers, thus cmuributing to rapid suburbaniza•
tion. If builders had ro pay the full costs of the new
Public facilities, these costs would he largely passed
along to the new buyers, thereby ending the subsidy
and discouraging haphazard growth.
As we call see, funding public services by means
of usercharges offers a number of advantages over
tax funding. Ideally, one would wall, to encourage
all such shifts from taxes to charges. But what about
the Curren, trend, in California and elsewhere, for
local governments tl add new fres ;and charges left
and right, nn Imp of existing high taxes? How should
taxpayers respond?
There are three principles is keep ill mind in Ibis
regard. 'rhe first is to make very clear the difference
brtwren arbitrary fees mud true user charges,
forcefully apposing the farmer. When the "charge"
for :a simple permit suddenly doubles or triples, tax -
pavers ram demand tl konw hnw much the procrso
ing of Ihr permit actually costs; if Ws less than the
It-(- bring charged, what you have is clearly a tax,
not a user fee.
Srcnndly, taxpayers can demand that the revenue

service only and lint hr dumped into Ihr general

Finally, taxpayers should welcome the shift of an

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 4, 1980
TO: Neal Berlin, City Manager I '1\1 FROM: Harvey D, Miller, Police Chiefl.\d\VV`
RE` Northside Lighting 1��"���
There is really nothing that I can add to the discussion
in regard to northside lighting that has not been said
repeatedly before.
Historically, increased lighting has been only a partial
and temporarily effective response to crime, A large
number of the sexual harassment crimes committed occur
within buildings rather than on the streets and side-
walks. Outside lighting will have no impact upon assaults
and harassment within buildings.
In regard to exhibitionists, window peekers, etc., outside
lighting or the lack of it seldom deters those who will
engage in this type of activity. The problem here is not
the lack of exterior lighting but the surplus of interior
lighting. People seldom peer in windows unless the shades
are up or the curtains open ... and the interior lights on.
An answer to the problem on some blocks might be to make
arrangements to install light sensitive switches on the
porch lights of a number of homes as a supplement to the
regular street lighting. The switches could be purchased
and installed by the City through the regular house wiring.
The cost of electricity could be estimated and the house-
holders reimbursed by the City by check periodically or
given an adjustment in sewer or water rates,
Another suggestion is to replace the present street lights
with sodium vapor lights with lens that focus the light
upon the sidewalks rather than the streets.

Re: Iowa City Airport Commission
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
I am attaching a copy of a letter I received from
Attorney William Tucker inquiring about legal services
for the Airport Commission. It is my recollection that
the council indicated that it would take this matter up
at the time the Commission's budget was discussed.
I am forwarding this letter to you for your
information and I suggest that we discuss these requests
as soon as it is convenient for the council.
Very truly yours,

Re: City - Airport Commission
Dear John:
Sometime back I wrote a letter to you and also to the
City Council making inquiry as to whether or not it would
not be for the best interests of both the City of Iowa
City and the Iowa City Airport Commission if the legal
department which.you head would undertake to handle legal
matters for the Airport Commission. This matter was
affirmatively answered insofar as the lawsuit filed by
Jack Dooley.
However, there are a number of other matters which are
presently pending. This particularly includes a question
as to a forcible entry and detainer action against Jim
McCrabb to obtain full repossession of the building which
he had leased from the Airport Commission in 1977. He has
violated many of the terms and provisions of said Lease and
has also not occupied the premises for many months and the
Airport Commission is presently going in for necessary
repairs to the roof.

There is also the question of leasing space to the
Heliocopter Service for the University Emergency Medical
Service; a question as to whether or not it is proper to
allow individuals who use the Airport, including the
Heliocopter Service, to supply their own gasoline and other
fuels rather than running through the Iowa City Flying Service.

I have also been asked as to whether or not it would
be appropriate to attempt to discuss or negotiate a
settlement with E.K. Jones, which would involve changes in
the existing leases. In view of the pending action, I have
deferred any response to this question as there could be a
legal question as to whether or not such actions might have
some affect on the pending lawsuit. This question I
definitely feel should be answered by your department and
I would appreciate a response to the other matters. Please
let me know.
