Enclosed is a letter from Mr. Nowysz which describes the relative merits and cost considerations for both a built-up roof and a membrane roof. For the small additional cost, when the entire construction budget is considered, I believe it would be appropriate to specify the membrane roof in the bidding process. The Manager will proceed accordingly unless the Council gives contrary instructions. bj/sp MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES i i i i I 3 i S S i The Rrchltects oficke Wohner, NowVsz,1-bttschull and Pfiffner 201 day bulking, kNuo city, Iowa 52240 February 29, 1980 City Council City of Iowa City 510 E.

In previous years, department heads have not carefully controlled each line item in the budget. The attitude has been, "What I lose on the oranges I'll make up on the apples." The apples are just about gone! The revenue problems of the City combined with general inflation and sharply increased energy costs have produced this rather significant change. In addition, carryover from FY 80 may help to reduce projected cutbacks in FY 81. In reviewing the detailed expenditure report for all departments, it is clear that in certain instances very little attention has been directed to the amount of the line item expenditures. Your cooperation in instituting effective management control over line item expenditures is required. Actual expenditures shall not exceed the budget totals for each of the four major expenditure groups: 6000 accounts, personal services 7000 accounts, commodities 8000 accounts, services and charges 9000 accounts, capital outlay and transfers If you anticipate a budget problem in any of these four budget totals, please submit, in writing, a request for over -expenditure to the Budget Administrator in the Finance Department. A copy of each request is to be submitted to the City Manager. All requests are to be submitted before the expenditure. Starting with the January 1980 printout, budgets will be reviewed monthly by the City Manager's office and the Finance Department. Each department will contact the Finance Department for an explanation regarding any potential problem areas. This is being done to avoid any possible budget overruns due to the City's tight financial status. Your cooperation will be appreciated. cc: Division Heads Assistant City Manager City Council MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES DEPARTMENT/IIIVISION/FUNCTION Council City Clerk City Attorney •City Manager Human Relations Finance Public Works Administration Government Buildings Planning & Program Development Engineering Housing & Inspection Services Police Fire Animal Control Traffic Engineering Transit Streets Cemetery Recycling Recreation Parks Library Forestry Parks & Recreation Admin.

Attached is a June, 1978 memorandum from the Director of Finance containing data regarding numbers of rooms and occupancy rates for Iowa City. Note that estimates of revenue in this memo are projected for 1980. We have recently solicited information from Cedar Rapids. Based upon actual receipts for the first half of the present fiscal year, they estimate their 5% hotel/motel tax will generate between $450,000 and $500,000 annually. Cedar Rapids has a total of approximately 1700 rooms which would average out to approximately $265 per room annually in taxes. If Iowa City's occupancy rate compares to that of Cedar Rapids, it is estimated that our present 212 rooms would be yielding a tax of $56,180. Note that this figure is very close to the 5% tax rate projected in the attached 1978 memorandum. Based upon these figures, the addition of 140 rooms in a downtown hotel facility would yield an additional $37,100 annually for a total of approximately $93,000 per year at today's rates. Again this figure is extremely close to that projected in the attached memo. None of these figures include additional revenue which would be received from several small, short-term rooming houses in the City. Nor do they reflect any projection for inflation between now and the time that this type of tax might be implemented. Considering these two factors, it appears quite likely that implementation of a hotel/motel tax would result in a minimum of $100,000 additional revenue annually from the onset. bj/sp MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 5S� i i I City of Iowa Cif"^, MEMORANDUM Date: March 6, 1980 To: Mayor and City Council From: Dale Helling, Assistant City Manager Re: Hotel/Motel Tax The issue of a hotel/motel tax referendum for Iowa City has recently been raised by some Councilmembers.

This does not include the Iowa House as it would be exempted from the hotel/motel tax. Redevelopment's survey indicated a year-round occupancy rate of between 74%-84% for high occupancy motels and an occupancy rate of 55.6% for other motels (the survey included the entire Iowa City- Coralville area). The survey set the average room rate for two persons to be $15.83. In discussing this with Ed Allen of the League of Iowa Municipalities, I found that for the Iowa City-Coralville area the League was using an occupancy rate of 60% and an average room rate of $17.00. Since approximately 85% of the motel rooms within Iowa City have rates of over $20.00 and a high occupancy rate my computations of potential tax revenue are based upon a conservative room rate of $19.00 and an occupancy rate of 75%. These computations do not include rooms in rooming houses which will also be subject to the tax; this information was not available and would most likely have a minimal effect upon the total tax. Using the above assumptions the potential tax revenue is as follows: Tax Rate Tax Revenue 5% $ 55,133 7% $ 77,186 The hotel to be constructed in the CBD will have approximately 140 rooms and is scheduled for completion in 1980. 'In adding these rooms to the computation and leaving the room rate at $19.00 (the possible room occupancy reduction should be offset any increase in rates by 1980), a conservation estimate of the potential tax revenue by 1980 is: bv3/13 Tax Rate Tax Revenue 5% $ 91,542 7% $ 128,159 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES SSs�� I 1 ,. 0 City of Iowa Cf j MEMORANDUM Date: November 22, 1978 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Angela Ryan, Assistant City Attorney yW Re: Hotel/Motel Tax QUESTION PRESENTED: Will the placement of incorrect political advertisements nullify an election?

Many types of trips have been run under this contract __ trips to Hancher, to doctors and hospitals, shopping trips, and trips to work for both paying and volunteer at Not sonlyItis sitsimpor antsential hforstheir physical healthable (approxto 00 imatel laces and door things, 311 the trips we ran were to or from doctors' offices or hospitals),ybut one of the biggest Droblems with Senior Citizens is their tendency to age faster and die faster when they are unable to get out or when they lose their sense of independence. Our Senior Citizens are too valuable to waste. There are often arrangements made for Senior Citizens to attend dress rehearsal for Hancher productions for free. MY mother is taking a class in Chinese at the Iowa Memorial Union. S.E.A.T.S, does not run during these evening hours.and many of these people are afraid to stand on a street corner and wait for a bus. In addition, at that time the busses only run once an hour. For these reasons we feel that the se essential. rvice we provide is, indeed, The cost of this program to you has not really been very high. In the eight months between June 15, 1979 and Feb. 15, 1980, we have run 917 calls for a cost to you of $2,435.60. The administrative costs were $220.00 paid to the county program and $2,235.60 paid for actual transportation. TIIe average call was 22 miles, lie were paid an average of $2.44 and 22¢ went to the county.for an average of $2.66 per call. This averages 115 calls per month for the 8 month period. Since our rates have gone up,'it will be somewhat more expensive but for the same amount of money we could still average 92 calls per month or 733 trips for a comparable period. This is still a lot of service, Don Schaeffer, the S.E.A.T.S, coordinator, does not feel that he is in a position to publicly state anything too strongly. He did, however, give me permission to say that he feels the program ha has helped them out. s worked well and it I ie also feel the program has worked well. There have been very few general foul-ups or people who did not show. There have been about 10 or 12 in the eight months the program has been in effect.

In a recent survey of major local governments forty percent of the respondents report they still rely entirely on detailed accounting tables as their budget presentation. (Findings from a survey of all municipalities by the National League of Cities put that figure at 60 percent.) Another thirty five percent include with these tables descriptions of programs and measures of activity. Only twenty-five percent of the budget formats allow top officials and the public to see what happens to services when budgets for individual programs are increased or decreased. In a related finding twenty five percent of the respondents indicate they have no way of uncovering and highlighting inefficiency. Another thirty three percent have established a central staff to find and try to improve inefficient operations. Just over forty percent of the respondents place responsibility for improving efficiency on departments. An additional finding is the relative lack of involvement by citizens in budget preparation.. In nearly 60 percent of the local governments responding the citizen's role is entirely confined to appearing at public hearings after the budget has been presented to the legislative body. About one third of the jurisdictions hold public hearings at which citizens may speak prior to budget formulation by the departments and the administration. Only eight percent involve formal discussions or presentations of priorities between citizens groups and depart- ments or the administration. In lieu of the public budget process, local governments appear to rely upon separate informal processes to formulate major resource allocation decisions. o While published budgets do not indicate the impacts of proposed cuts, seventy percent of the respondents ask agencies to develop priority lists of cutbacks that will avoid adverse impacts on service. o Most respondents (fifty-nine percent) report having a strategy planning or goal setting process to set priorities for budgeting. o However, in only about one-half of the instances does the budget tie to strategies or follow-up on performance. © Management Analysis Center, Inc.

Showalter re; Management Salaries, FY81 date: March 5, 1980 The Management Compensation Team has held a meeting with management employees concerning wages and benefits for FY81. Based on that meeting, and on other governmental units' salary adjustments for FY81, we recommend the following: 1. That every management employee below $30,000 FY80 salary receive a 9% C.O.L. adjustment July 1, 1980. For those (2) above $30,000, a sliding scale would be used, decreasing the C.O.L. by 1% for each $2,000. Example: $30,000 to $32,000 = 8% C.O.L. $32,000 to $34,000 = 7% C.O.L. The top of the pay range would be raised by the amount of the C.O.L. adjustment. 2. That every management employee be eligible for a merit salary increase of up to 5% of current salary until the employee reaches the top of their pay range. 3. That five (5) working days per year of professional leave time be allowed starting with the third year of employment, with a maximum of 22 total leave days per year. 4. That annual leave accumulations be increased from 24 days to 36 days. Management employees in other government units are scheduled for substantial increases in.FY81 - 14% at -the County and 11% at the local school district. If management employees are held to a maximum of 9.2%, we will continue to lose ground in comparison to our own union employees. At the present time, the bottom management salary is $4,933 below the top union salary. There are 17 management employees below the top union salary. The median management salary is only $1,300 per year ($108 per month) above the top union salary. With AFSCME and Fire unions getting 11% C.O.L. plus 5% merit (unless they are at the top of the range), and the Police union getting more than that, there will be more overlaps in FY81. Union employees also receive many benefits that management employees do not, such as job security and overtime. The Manaqement Compensation Team would like to meet with You Monday, March 10 at the informal session to discuss our concerns with ,you. cc: Jim Brachtel Cathy Eisenhofer Lolly Eggers Pat Brown Harvey Miller Mike Kucharzak Dennis E.

The group decided that there were two main areas it wished to have detailed reports on: information and referral and chore service. Lori Benz and I were instructed to put together a package of material to be sent to the Council on Aging board. This package was to contain: our expectations of these programs, a 30-60-90 day reporting period, and forms to be filled out relating to these services. The group reviewed and commented on our work and signed the letter which was sent to the board of Council on Aging. It was suggested that the group and the board meet to discuss this program reporting proposal on February 19. As you know the agency closed its doors before this meeting could take place. On. February 22 the funding bodies again met to discuss the need for services to the elderly. It was decided that a committee put together a request for proposals for services to the elderly. The Council on Aging board and other interested community groups would be invited to respond. Russ Proffitt, Harold Donnelly and I met on February 27 to discuss the draft request attached to this memo. Each of the funding bodies was sent a copy and asked to discuss it with their board and reply by March 3 with suggestions, corrections, etc. Representatives of the funding bodies and the Council on Aging board will meet on March 7. At this meeting we will discuss the request for proposal with them. March 14 the representatives of the funding bodies will meet again to finalize the document. It, plus the forms we constructed in the original Council on Aging proposal, will then be sent to interested agencies. A press release announcing our request will be issued at that time. It is our hope that a community-based agency will submit a plan for a viable program of services to the elderly. We expect this plan to be both fiscally and programmatically accountable. We have not as yet set deadlines for submission, but would like to fill the gap left by the Council on Aging shutdown as soon as possible.

Miller, Police Chief FROM: Bev Horton, Supervisor - Animal Control RE: Budget Considerations (consequences, operation alternatives, E revenue alternatives) Reduction of One Employee - Proposed budget reduction $9,117.00 Consequences: Minimal reduction in services. Operation would continue on a 7 -day week basis, operating same hours as past three years. The reduction of one employee would be felt on weekends during open hours. No service would be available during open hours; limited services in mornings due to cleaning duties; limited impoundment due to one officer on duty ✓; during vacations and sick leaves, services would be reduced and overtime would be increased. Reduction of Two Employees - Additional budget reduction $11,941.00 Conse uences: Reduction of personnel to pre -1974 level; hours of operation would be reduced to 9:0o a.m. - 5:00 p.m., 5 -day weeks; Saturday and Sunday 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.; weekend operations would be suspended if adequate M.Y.C. personnel could not be obtained; during vacations and sick leaves, operations would be reduced to minimal maintenance level. Service Options to be Eliminated 1. Wild animal service; bats in attics; raccoons in garbage, etc. (Police could handle wild calls. However, they have had no training and possess no equipment and many times are hesitant to deal with these types of problems). 2. Dead animal removal: Another department such'as streets could provide this service. 3. Trap service: All residents,including elderly,would have to pick up, set, and return traps and animals to the shelter. 4. Educational services: Eliminate tours, no one would be avail- able to talk to school groups. 5. Dog and cat bite investigations: This usually requires personal contact with owners of suspect animals. We would have to rely on voluntary compliance by leaving notices at their residences during the day. (This could result in serious risks since time is primary in determining shot procedures by the Doctor and in locating and verifying the shots for the animal). MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 6. Issue citations for failure to have a pet license: At present time we issue warning cards, giving parties 48 hours to comply and usually phone parties if they fail to show. However, this involves a lot of phone work and could be discontinued by issuing citations. 7. Increased licensing through mailings and computerized system: Office personnel would be.unable to handle this operation if volumn increases. The license duties could return to the City Clerk's Office. 8. Euthanasia Procedures: This would have to be performed during the hours of 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., as opposed to the present hours of 6:00 a.m. - 7:30 a.m. This would greatly increase the publics awareness of this distasteful task due to our location and the Hy Vee grocery store. 9. Barking, neglect, improper food, water, or shelter, warnings for 'At Large', etc. are usually handled after 5:00 p.m. when people are home. Written warnings could be left during the day. But this process has proven to be very ineffective. 10. a) Eliminatethe acceptance of County animals (both owner and strays). This would reduce our animals by approximately 450-500/year. b) Eliminate the acceptance of only county owner animals. This would reduce our animals by approximately 3W-,2"d0/year. c) Eliminate the acceptance of all city and county owner animals. This would recude the number of animals handled by 430-480/year d) Eliminate the acceptance of all owner animals (city and county) and county strays. Handle ONLY city strays. This would be a reduction of approximately 580-630 animals/year. Revenue Increase Alternatives 1. Providing the personnel is available to handle the increased paperwork, change the ordinance to calendar year for pet licenses. Mail applications to water bill mailing list, reaching approxi- mately 90% of pet owning households. This procedure would make licensing a simple and convenient procedure for the majority. Incentive must also be included in ordinance such as a delinquent fee for licensing such as March or April 15th. Sioux City imple- mented this effective licensing program several years ago and increased their licensing revenue from $5,000 per year to $85,000 per year in the first year of operation. Anticipated increased revenue = $7,000 f.y.181. 3070 nom, 2. Increase reclaim fees for repeated__ violators. Coralville and other cities have a graduated reclaim system, whereby a first offense would remain $10.00. However, the second offense would double, etc. This would be on a per year basis. Approximate revenue increase would be a minimum of $900 per year. -2- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES n 3. Increase the fee for county strays from $2.00 per animal to $5.00. The $2.00 fee does not come close to covering our expenses for that animal. This could increase revenues from the Sheriff's Department by approximately $450/year. 4. Increase the fee for county owner animals, and county strays brought in by private parties from $2.00 to $5.00 per animal. This would increase revenues by approximately $1,530.00/year. 5.

Miller, Police Chief %4K J RE: Heslinga Complaint on Woodfield's The complaint of Mark Heslinga in regard to an alleged liquor law violation at Woodfield's sometime last fall has been investigated thoroughly and the investigation is now completed. The facts.that can be established are: Sometime on a Saturday, either in late September or early October, Mark Heslinga and Judy Elizabeth Stahl, while at Heslinga's apartment next to ElizabWoodfieth IS were disturbed by loud music coming from the disco. Around 1:00 a.m. Heslinga and Stahl went to the disco to request that the music be lowered in volume. Dur- ing the approximate five minutes the two were in the bar an unidentified subject told Heslinga repeatedly that a private party was underway and that Heslinga and Stahl would have to pay a sum of money or leave. Heslinga ended the conversation with the subject by stating his intention to call the police. According to Heslinga's and Stahl's statements the lights were on in the portion of the establishment -reserved for dancing. Some twenty people (more or less) were either dancing or sitting at tables near the dance floor. While both Stahl and Heslinga state that glasses were on the tables, neither saw alcoholic beverages dispensed or consumed. Itis the investigator's opinion, and I concur with them, that it cannot be reasonably assumed that Woodfield's committed a liquor law violation. In fact, neither the circumstances nor the statements of the witnesses can support a finding of probable cause for the following reasons: I. Heslinga or Stahl did not make observations in those areas from which alcoholic beverages would be sold or dispensed. 2. Neither saw waiters or waitresses circulating in the business. 3. Neither observed actual drinking in the business. 4. Both observed that all activitiy was concentrated 141CROFILMED BY JORM MICR#LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES at or near the dance floor in the lighted area, while all other areas were dark.

However, neither would state that they saw bottle beer or alcoholic beverages present. 6. Neither Heslinga nor Stahl appeared to have any specific, limited independent recall as to a more limited time frame in regard to the incident. 7. Stahl is convinced that alcoholic beverages might have been present but bases her conclusion strictly upon con- jecture.

There are several factors to consider: 1. This entire area will be in a state of intense construction. Clinton Street will be closed in the.near future. It will be under constant construction until approximately the end of June. Beginning in June, Madison Street will be closed. We believe it is desirable not to bring any more cars into the area than absolutely necessary. 2. Drivers will develop habits.that will have to be changed several times throughout the construction of Clinton and Madison. We believe it would be best to encourage drivers to avoid the area to the maximum extent possible. 3. We are having extreme difficulty rerouting the transit routes so they can get into and out of the area. All buses coming in from the west side must leave the transit interchange point east bound down Washington Street. At one point during construction buses traveling east on Washington will have to travel north of the island in the middle of the street. This is due to the complete reconstruction of the intersection on Clinton and Washington. These buses will be conflicting with any automobile traffic in the area. Public Works would strongly recommend that you not consider opening Washington Street to west bound automobile traffic for the duration of this construction. cc: Jim Brachtel Hugh Mose tp2/3 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES S( I CIty of Iowa Cit'" MEMORANDUM Date: March 4, 1980 To: Neal Berlin and City Council From: Jim Brachtel, Traffic Engineer Re: Council's Request for Additional Street Lighting Information John Wentzel of Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric has related the following information regarding Council's questions. 1• Does Iowa -Illinois have any rate structure for low pressure sodium? Is it more energy efficient? ANSWER: At the present time Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric does not have a structured rate for low pressure sodium street it itinitially more doeshavecertaindrawbacksl.gyThesecdrawbacks asgdescribedient than hih ressurebyoJohn Wentzel are as follows: a. Color rendition - The low pressure sodium vapor has extremely Poor color rendition. Very ,little work has been done by the industry to correct this problem. While initially high pressure sodium vapor had a similar problem, industry research has corrected many of the initial problems. Color correction for the high pressure sodium vapor source is now vastly improved over its initial market entry. On the other hand, low sodium vapor continues to have extremely poor color rendition. Additionally the ability of the human eye to discern different colors which are lit by low pressure sodium vapor light sources is extremely impaired. This impairment is so significant that there are some police chiefs on the national level who recommend not using low pressure sodium vapor as a light source bec many eye witnesses are unable to discern any color other shause ades of yellow when witnessing a crime. b• Lamp light - The low pressure sodium vapor presently has a rated lamp life of 10,000 hours. This compares with a rated lamp life of 24,000 hours for high pressure sodium vapor. C. Energy efficiency - Initially a 180 watt low pressure sodium vapor lamp will emit 33,000 lumens of usable light, At the end Of the lamp life this same lamp draws 240 watts of energy to produce 34,000 lumens of usable light. This loss of efficiency during the lamp's life would detract lumen/watt ratio. from, its initial d• Disposal problems - The low pressure sodium vapor lamp has raw sodium in the gas envelope. Raw sodium constitutes a significant disposal problem. When raw sodium is exposed to water the resulting chemical reaction is a violent one which can MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR;LAB CEDAR RAPIDS - DES MOINES result in fire and/or explosions. The health problems related to the presence of raw sodium are also of concern. At the present time the industry recommends that sodium vapor lamps be ground up prior to permanent disposal. e. Physical size - Physically a low pressure sodium vapor is much larger than its high pressure sodium counterpart. The 180 watt low pressure sodium lamp is 44" long. This compares with 9" length for a high .pressure sodium vapor lamp. Because the lamp is longer, the fixture and associated glassware must necessarily also be larger. This extra weight requires a larger support structure when low pressure sodium vapor lamps are used. In the event that a wooden pole would be used, a longer pole would be required so that the pole could be buried deeper to support this fixture. f. Initial cost - The initial capital outlay for the low pressure t sodium vapor is higher for both the lamp itself and for the fixture than it would be for a high pressure sodium unit. i g. Industry reaction - None of the three biggest American manufacturers manufacture a low pressure sodium vapor lamp. The only manufacturer for low pressure sodium is a Dutch-owned company, North American Philips Light Inc. Low pressure sodium vapor lamps are presently manufactured in Europe. None of the three primary lamp manufacturers in this country are conducting research into developing a low pressure sodium vapor light source lamp. It appears as though American industry is looking to other light sources for the future. 2. As lights depreciate out in the north end and all over town, is it possible to switch at no cost from mercury to sodium vapor? - ANSWER: Yes, Iowa-Illinois will allow the City to conduct a change out program substituting sodium vapor for mercury vapor. If this is done at the end of the 15-year light depreciation period, there would be no cost to the City. However, Iowa-Illinois recommends that the City make the conversion neighborhood-by-neighborhood. It is their feeling that from a public relations point of view it is far better to change all lights in a geographic area than to spot the area with high pressure sodium lamps and mercury vapor lamps mixed.

Location and General Setting Rocky Shore Drive is located in northwest Iowa City and runs along the Iowa River, connecting West Park Road and Highway 6/218 (see Exhibit 1). The road is classified in the Iowa City Traffic Report as a secondary arterial largely because it channels traffic between Coralville and Iowa City via the West Park Road bridge over the Iowa River. It is approximately 2,600 feet long, with a pavement width of 25 feet, and has an average daily vehicular count of 3,800 cars. It is intersected by three local streets on the east (Dill Street, Loos Street, and River Street) and the Iowa River lies on the west side. Rocky Shore Drive has important potential for providing bicyclists with a safe and continuous route between numerous major origin and destination points. The Finkbine Commuter Bikeway was completed in 1977 and serves the University of Iowa west campus, hospitals, student apartments, Coralville and West High School. A bicycle trail on Rocky Shore Drive would connect Finkbine Bikeway and the above mentioned points, with the University of Iowa east campus (Liberal and Fine Arts), the Law School, and downtown Iowa City (see Exhibit 2). B. Project Site The proposed bicycle trail will run parallel to Rocky Shore Drive between the west curb of the road and the Iowa River. There is considerable variation in the width of this margin, the general pattern being a continuous narrowing towards the middle between the north and south ends, as the river curves towards then away from the road. The range of the width is between 8 and 350 feet. The bicycle trail will be situated approximately 2 feet from the road and will be 8 feet wide. Most of the 10 foot wide strip can be characterized as gently sloping. Depending upon the area between the river and the road surface, the land may either continue to gradually slope toward the river bank or fall abruptly at the edge of the trail. The latter case occurs primarily along the mid-section of the proposed project area where the river and the road surface come closer together (see Exhibit 8). Because there is no existing sidewalk along Rocky Shore Drive, a dirt path has been established by pedestrians and bicyclists along the proposed trail area (see photographs). A large number of trees line the river bank along this stretch of the Iowa River, effectively screening the road from those using the 1 river. The trees are concentrated near the bank of the river, leaving a wide enough space between the road and bank so that little clearing of trees will be required to construct the trail. The clearing that will be done consists of the removal 1 MICROFILMED BY JO RM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES i I � II` I i r, li I I of the undergrowth of weeds, which in some places is beginning to encroach on the dirt trail. Improvements along the project area consist of telephone poles and anchors (located at 150 foot intervals), fire hydrants, "no _ parking" signs and "speed limit" signs. Crandic Park is located at the southern end of Rocky Shore Drive. The park is bordered by the Iowa River, Rocky Shore Drive and the Crandic Railroad tracks. This park provides one shelter and five picnic tables. Its frontage along Rocky Shore Drive is approximately 600 feet. All of the proposed improvements will be made within the public right-of-way, or on park land leased to the City under a long- term agreement. - C. Project Elements 1. Concrete Bikeway A 2,600 foot -long bikeway is proposed to be constructed parallel to Rocky Shore Drive and under the Crandic railroad bridge, north to West Park Road. The bikeway will be 8 feet wide with a thickness of 4 inches. It will be — made of portland cement concrete on a gravel base. The bikeway, at most points, will be situated 2 feet from the west curb of Rocky Shore Drive. There are, however, areas where limited space will require that the bike trail be situated closer than 2 feet to the roadway. Because the ground is not entirely level along the project area, it must be graded smooth requiring some excavation and backfilling. yl Along the stretch of the proposed bikeway which crosses underneath the Crandic Railroad bridge, the trail will narrow to approximately 5 feet in width. The decreased trail width will be 15 feet in length. 2. Chain Link Fence Approximately 1,000 linear feet of chain link fence, 6 feet in height, will be constructed along the western edge of the bike trail in certain areas. Near the middle section of the proposed bicycle trail, where the trail lies directly adjacent to the river bank, a very steep drop-off occurs. Chain link fence will protect -- pedestrians and cyclists from the drop-offs which exist along the mid-section of the trail. 3. Riprap Due to the proximity of the bicycle trail to the edge of the Iowa River, a certain amount of bank stabilization will be required. Approximately 2,500 tons of riprap stone will be installed along sections of the bank which experience erosion and have steep slopes. Much of the bank 2 .................. . N ICRO'"" BY JORM MIC R�/L AB CEDAR RAPIDS • OES MOINES 9 n area along this section of the Iowa River is already riprapped, but only at the bottom of the bank near water level. With the construction of the bike trail more extensive and effective riprapping will be needed at the problem areas, from the bottom to the top of the bank. The riprap will be a public improvement which will extend into the 100 year floodplain. The riprap however will not interfere, inhibit or restrict the flow of water in the floodway. 4. Storm Water Drainage Near the mid -point along the proposed bicycle trail a storm sewer drainage pipe protrudes from the top of the embankment and drains into the Iowa River. Approximately 20 linear feet of 24 inch diameter storm sewer pipe will be added to extend the pipe beneath the bank down to the edge of the Iowa River. The pipe will be extended to eliminate erosion from street run-off and to facilitate the effective riprapping along the bank in this area. Installation of additional storm sewers will eliminate erosion caused by storm water and provide a barrier -free area for effective bank stabilization.

Area and Population Served The proposed bicycle trail will be the only link between the Finkbine Commuter Bikeway and the City of Coralville with City Park, University of Iowa (Liberal and Fine Arts Campus), central and northern Iowa City. The proposed bicycle trail will not only provide a major north -south local bicycle arterial but also a Coralville/Iowa City arterial. Pedestrians as well as bicyclists will be served by it for recreational and commuter activities. To a large extent, the northwestern section of Iowa City will be served by the installation of this bicycle trail. The Rocky Shore bicycle trail provides a key link between two major bicycle and pedestrian traffic corridors. (See Exhibit 4). Installation of the Rocky Shore trail will facilitate the safe and smooth flow of bicycle and pedestrian traffic along a narrow (25 feet) and heavily traveled street. The bicycle trail will further serve to provide additional opportunities for pedestrian and bicycle recreation. MICROFIL7DESNES JORM MCEDAR RAPIDSA 13 50710 1 r 'I I I t 'I II.

Existing Environmental Qualities A. Physical Characteristics I. Air Quality The extent and nature of emission concentrations in the immediate project area have not been measured. Air monitoring facilities for suspended particulates and sulfur dioxide are located at the medical laboratories building of the University of Iowa, and readings from this facility may be assumed to approximate air quality in the project area. In 1975, the annual geometric mean of suspended particulates for Iowa City was 66 micrograms per cubic meter, which is in compliance with the national primary standard of 75 micrograms per cubic meter. In 1975 the arithmetic mean for sulfur dioxide in Iowa City was 11.4 micrograms per cubic meter, which was substantially below the national primary standard of 80 micrograms per cubic meter. The principal land use now affecting ambient air quality in the project area would be heavily traveled arterial roads (e.g., Highway 6/218 and Rocky Shore Drive). During the construction phase, adverse effects will be experienced on the level of air pollution. These direct impacts are strictly related to construction activity and are short term in nature. It is hoped that the construction of the bicycle trail will encourage less automobile use thus indirectly benefitting the quality of air in the Iowa City area. 2. Noise Levels Noise levels at the Rocky Shore Drive project site have not been measured. The project area is subject to continuous noise arising from heavy automobile and truck traffic on Highway 6/218 and traffic flow (3,800 per day) on Rocky Shore Drive. The short-term direct impacts of the bicycle trail construction will adversely affect the level of noise in the project area. The indirect long-term benefits through increased bicycle use should be the reduction in the level of noise generated by traffic in that area. 3. Water Quality a. Surface and Ground Water There are five major constituents causing pollution In the Iowa River: nutrients, pesticides, silt producing turbidity, bacteria and organic matter. (1) [9 S7b MICROFILMED BY 5 JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES a U The major factor influencing the quality of water at the project location is street runoff and soil erosion. Soil erosion occurs at the project area along portions of the bank which are not protected by riprap. This erosion however would probably be occuring if the area was in its natural state. Additional pollutants (silt and chemical) are added to the river by street runoff. The western sections of Park Road, Dill, Loos, and River Streets drain onto Rocky Shore Drive and the Iowa River. (See Exhibit 5). There is currently one storm sewer drain which empties into the Iowa river from this street network. This storm sewer drain is located approximately at the mid-section of the proposed bicycle trail. Water drainage into the Iowa River from street runoff only occurs during periods of rain. It is unlikely that the proposed project will have either positive or negative impacts on street runoff. Ground water in the Iowa River basin is in general oxygen -depleted and highly mineralized. During the brief period of construction some soil erosion may occur when ground is left exposed. The proposed project, however, is unlikely to have any impact on ground water quality. 4. Water Supply The Iowa River is the major source of potable water for Iowa City, which even in periods of low flow is more than adequate to meet water needs. At the initial construction stage some soil run-off may occur but due to the extensive rip rapping of the bank this will be minimized. The long- term effect of the riprap will be the reduction of soil run-off and bank erosion along Rocky Shore Drive thus reducing the silt in the river and enhancing the quality of the water. No effect on surface or ground water quality is anticipated. 5. Soils/Topography The proposed bicycle trail is located directly adjacent to Rocky Shore Drive and approximately 10-15 feet above the river bed. The bicycle trail will be located above the floodplain. The surface upon which the bicycle trail will be built is slightly sloped towards the river and is covered with grass. The soil type along Rocky Shore Drive is classified as loamy alluvial land, which is water deposited, and highly stratified. This soil type lies directly adjacent to a 9 MICROFILMED BY DORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES fayette silt loam. Fayette silt loam consists of light colored, well drained, silty soil. Both of these soil types are indigenous to river areas. Due to the steep sloping topography of the land, careful techniques to prevent soil erosion must be used., The project's effect on the soil condition of this area will be beneficial, direct and long-term. The extensive riprapping of the bank area should effectively reduce or halt erosion which is now occurring. 6. Land Use Land use in the vicinity of Rocky Shore Drive is primarily residential. A steep bluff exists along the entire eastern side of the road, on top of which are situated approximately 20 residences. Land use remains residential from Rocky Shore Drive east to the Iowa River. There are also residences along the northern end of Rocky Shore Drive. Highway 6/218 abutting Rocky Shore Drive to the south, is characterized by commercial strip development. Land on the west side of the Iowa River, across from Rocky Shore Drive, is vacant and largely in its natural state. Along the southwestern edge of the proposed bicycle trail is Crandic Park which is a 2-3 acre park equipped with benches and picnic facilities and a small parking area which will accommodate approximately 12 cars. The bicycle trail will border Rocky Shore Drive and will be constructed well within the 12h foot right-of-way which extends beyond the edge of the street. The Iowa River Corridor Study recommends the development of a continuous bfc—y-cTe—trail along the Iowa River. According to the 1978 Com rehensive Plan Ma for Land Use, Trafficwa_vs, and ConM acill Jes, land use along the eastern edge of the prpropose b cyc a trail will remain residential and the southwestern edge of the trail will remain a park area. The proposed project is unlikely to influence land use in the vicinity of the project area. Project scale is relatively small, and the project site lies within the city street right-of-way. 7. Flood Conditions Flood protection along the Iowa River is provided by the Coralville dam and reservoir. The Coralville dam is located about four miles upstream from Iowa City and has been used for flood control purposes since 1958. The Iowa City Floodplain Management Ordinance (N77-2832) governs the type of development and use that may occur in flood prone areas inside municipal boundaries. All lands located within the 100 year floodplain are subject to these regulations. 10 57d MICROFILMED BY JORM MICRLAB CEDAR R11115 • DES MOIRES The proposed project is located above the floodway, defined as the channel of a stream plus any adjacent floodplain areas which must be kept free of encroachment in order for the 100 year flood to be carried without substantial increase in flood heights. Floodway overlay zone regulations (Section 8.11.02.12A of the Floodplain Management Ordinance) prohibit development in the floodway that will result in any increase in flood levels in Iowa City during the 100 year flood. The bicycle trail will have no effect on local flood heights. The 100 year floodplain in the vicinity of the proposed project site is shown in Exhibit 7. B. Biological Characteristics i I. Fish and Aquatic Life The proposed bicycle trail will have no effect on the quality or quantity of fish and aquatic life in the adjacent Iowa River. Erosion and silt infiltration will be severely reduced along this area but these impacts are beneficial in nature. Neither construction nor the continued use of the pedestrian and bicycle trail will affect fish and aquatic life. 2. Wildlife The proposed project area which is to be paved does not presently provide a valuable habitat for wildlife because of its direct proximity to Rocky Shore Drive. The bank area, however, which extends from the proposed bicycle trail path down to the river, does serve as a habitat for some animal species. The predominant species are probably small animals such as squirrels, rabbits, and songbirds. The extensive riprap along the bank will have a direct, short-term adverse impact upon the ground wildlife which resides along the bank area. 3. Vegetation Current vegetation along the project area consists of trees, grass, brush and weeds. Trees extend intermittently along the bank from the river's edge to the top of, the bank. Bushes and weeds cover the lower bank area. The ground upon which the proposed trail will be constructed consists of grass and an occasional bush. No older trees will be removed for the construction of the bicycle trail. No rare or unusual plant life is known to exist in the project area. 4. Threatened and Endangered Species The U. S. Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service was contacted to insure that the proposed project MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES ■ have no impact on threatened and endangered species. Their response indicates that the project will not involve a listed endangered or threatened species, its habitat, or a critical habitat. A copy of their letter is included as Exhibit 9. C. Social and Economic Characteristics 1. Tax Base The proposed area for the bicycle trail lies mainly within the city street right-of-way. A portion of the bicycle trail, however, runs through a City leased park and other City land. The proposed project will therefore occasion no loss of tax monies. Should there be any impact on — surrounding property values, it would likely be in a positive direction, due primarily to project induced reduction in bank erosion and public improvements to the _ area. 2. Employment and Regional Growth The proposed project scale is small and self-operating, thus there should be little direct long-term impacts on area employment and regional growth. Construction activities will have a positive, direct, but temporary impact on area employment. The project may have a marginal impact on bicycle related business due to the increased ease and safety of bicycle transportation. The existing scales of operations for such activities are probably adequate to handle any demand associated with _ increased bicycle usage. It is assumed that most _ potential bicycle trail users are already part of the clientele of these establishments. 3. Transportation _ The existing transportation network in the proposed project area consists of a 2 -way, 25 foot wide, secondary vehicular traffic arterial (Rocky Shore Drive). There are i no sidewalks along the project area (either side of street) Bicyclists currently use the street, and pedestrians have worn a dirt trail along the western side of the road. As previously noted, the proposed Rocky Shore Drive bicycle trail will have beneficial long-term direct impacts upon the transportation network throughout Iowa City. With the increased safety and availability of a bicycle trail network, it is hoped that more people will be encouraged to use bicycles as a form of transportation. Iowa City already has a strong contingent of bicycle users which will continue to grow through an improved and upgraded system. 12 S7a MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 4. Historical and Archaeological Sites The Iowa State Historical Department, Division of Historic Preservation, was contacted to insure that the proposed project would not disturb historic or other cultural resources. Their response indicates that the project will have no effect upon known historic or other cultural resources. A copy of this letter is included as Exhibit 10. 5. Public Facilities and Services w The Rocky Shore Drive trail may be considered a public facility and will utilize other public facilities (bicycle I trails) by providing a continuous trail system through a linkup process. The construction of the bicycle trail will not require the • provision of any additional r facilities. The construction of the Rocky Shore bicycle trail will provide an integrated, safe and continuous route for bicyclists, effectively separating pedestrians "^ and bicyclists from automobile traffic. Fry 6. Aesthetics The Rocky Shore Drive trail will not detract from the attractiveness of the area. The proposed trail will have beneficial long-term direct impacts upon the ambience of the area. By providing a scenic well-maintained L pedestrian and bicycle path the attractiveness of the area can be utilized and appreciated. Project GREEN, a local citizen group will provide design and landscaping materials for the project. 7. Community Identity The proposed Rocky Shore Drive trail has the unique potential to improve the quality of neighborhood and community identity. Neighborhood identity will be ! increased through an effective park linkup (Crandic Park, City Park) and by a continuous, scenic pedestrian and bicycle right-of-way which integrates the Manville Heights neighborhood (Exhibit 6). Community identity will be enhanced through a continuous University of Iowa/Iowa City bicycle pedestrian trail system. Integration is L imperative to the personal perception of access throughout the City. Citizen input and involvement in the improvement and L construction of a trail along Rocky Shore Drive has been a 1 long standing concern with the community. During 1969 the residents of Manville Heights (the neighborhood which borders Rocky Shore Drive) solicited and received permission from Iowa City to develop a trail 13 Ii MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 1 0 aW along Rocky Shore Drive. Due to the neighborhood's lack of funds, however, this project was never implemented. In 1974 Iowa City conducted a walkways study which ranked walkway improvements for the entire City into 5 different priority groups. The Rocky Shore Drive walkway was ranked first priority and listed 5th in a field of 188 projects. The cost of the project however was beyond what the City felt it could engage in. Project GREEN is a community based group that relies solely on private donations which are spent for aesthetic improvements in Iowa City. This group has for the past six years tried to undertake a trail improvement project along Rocky Shore Drive. The scope and monetary commitment of the project, however, was beyond their means. B.I.C. (Bicyclists of Iowa City), an Iowa City group, has listed the improvement of Rocky Shore Drive as one of their top priorities for 1980. 14 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LA6 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 0 570 IV. Project Initiated Environmental Alternatives and Impacts A. Air Quality Project related impacts on air quality are likely to arise from only one source. This source will be the use of heavy equipment in the site preparation and construction of the proposed bicycle trail. The _ use of heavy equipment will add automotive pollutants (particulates, sulfur dioxide, nitrous -oxide and hydrocarbons) to the atmosphere. This impact will be temporary (2 ~ months max. dur.) and largely localized within the project area. The nearest residences, located across Rocky Shore Drive on the top of the bluff are not expected to perceive this impact. B. Noise Level During construction, noise from heavy equipment will increase current decibel levels. Duration of these higher noise levels be will short enough, and distance from the project site great enough so that exposure should not constitute a health hazard to ---- - the nearest residents. Use of this facility should not have any effect on noise levels in the project area. Long term direct benefits of the increased safety and ease of bicycling should reduce dependency upon automobiles, thus reducing noise levels. L C. Surface Water Quality Project impacts on surface water quality will be those associated with actual bicycle trail construction. As such — they will be localized and temporary. Some soil runoff may occur during initial construction causing increased sediment _ suspension in the water. D. Soil Erosion The construction phase of this project may cause some soil erosion and siltation. These impacts will be temporary and localized to the project area. Attempts will be made to alleviate severity of these problems by minimizing the amount of time the soil is left bare. Large quantities of riprap will be placed along the bank thus reducing erosion in the long run. The long term impacts will therefore be beneficial. E. Vegetation and Wildlife L ; Construction of the Rocky Shore Drive Bicycle Trail should h ave no significant impact on the plant and animal life in the area. Several minor impacts are discussed below. All vegetation in the immediate vicinity of the bicycle trail 1 will be destroyed. That vegetation consists of weeds, grasses and several small trees approximately three to six feet in height. None of the larger older trees which line the bank will l I I ' 15 I MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LA6 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES be removed. This type of vegetation grows abundantly in the area and will continue to do so with or without the project. Wildlife likely to frequent the project area are adaptable and mobile. If the bicycle trail and riprap does disturb a portion of their habitat, they can be expected to tolerate the intrusion with little or no loss of life. F. Provision of Public Facilities and Services The proposed project will have a significant positive effect on the quality of services provided to Iowa City residents. The 1978 Comprehensive Plan has designated this section of the Iowa River as a greenbe� open space area. It is felt that the construction of bicycle trail along Rocky Shore Drive will -.- serve to enhance this goal by providing residents with a scenic pedestrian and bicycle trail (see Exhibit 2). The 1978 Comprehensive Plan also states that it is a goal of Iowa City to J promote energy conservation through the location of public facilities. Clearly the construction of the bicycle trail serves to enhance this goal. V� G. Community Identity/Quality of Life The proposed project should have a significant positive impact on the sense of community identity and quality of life in Iowa City. The bicycle and pedestrian trail wi11 provide a means by which the recreational, scenic, and historic potential of the Iowa River may be realized. This project should be recognized as an important contribution to Iowa City, because it will effectively link up existing bicycle trails and park systems, benefiting recreational and commuter users. This project will - also increase general public awareness and appreciation of the Iowa River and City Park System as an environmental amenity that j adds value to the entire City. j — -- i --� 16 S70 i MICROFILMED BY JORM MIC R+LA13 CEDAR RAPIDS - DES MOINES VI. Steps Planned to Minimize Adverse Impacts A. Soil Erosion 1. The amount of time that the soil is left bare will b minimized by placing a time limit on the period allowed fo construction. 2. Extensive riprap will be placed along the river banks. 3. The existing storm sewer will be extended into the Iowa River thus eliminating bank erosion caused by street drainage. 4. Construction will take place during a period of low rive flow. 17 MICROEILMED BY JORM MIC R(f/LAO CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES M 17 VII. Individuals and Agencies Involved A. Federal 1.

The generally flat topography makes construction of a bicycle trail entirely feasible. The width of the top of the bank provides adequate space for a bicycle trail with the exception of one area which will require some fill. The specific nature of the site and the area surrounding it will permit the construction of the project with little disturbance of the natural or human environment. 20 MICROFILMED BY JORM MIC R�LAB CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES O $O Date EnvirftmbRtal Review Planner `J `t n i _ � J t _.. t I� m� 1 20 MICROFILMED BY JORM MIC R�LAB CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES 1 I IX.

RELOCATION Phase I: Relocation interviews with residents who will be displaced by Phase I acquisi- tions have been completed, and Notices of Displacement have been sent out to most residents and businesses. This Notice officially triggers residents eligibility for relocation bene- fits, and where possible, it specifies the actual dollar amount residents may be able to claim. The relocation staff at the Department of Planning and Program Development is keeping lists of referral housing and is anxious to help displaced residents and businesses in any way possible to find suitable replacement properties. Phase II: Relocation interviews with residents and businesses displaced by Phase II acqui- sitions will take place in early summer.

ADDRESS /// D v MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR¢LA6 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES City of Iowa Cit, MEMORANDUM Date: March 11, 1980 To: City Council From: Rosemary Vitosh, Director. of Finance ki Re: FY81 Proposed Budget This packet contains the following: 1. Additional budget changes made to the General Fund budget. 2. Projected Financial Summary - FY81 (revised). 3. Projected Financial Summary - FY81 (sent to Council with 2/29/80 memo). 4. Notice of Public Hearing, Budget Estimate. 5. Expenditure Detail. The "Additional Budget Changes" for the General Fund budget includes errors found in the budgets, Council changes and a recomputed contingency for salary increases. Line item budgets were sent to departments for review after the budget was put together for the public hearing. Limited time did not allow for department review prior to this and the errors listed were found during this review. The Senior Center budget was not an error as such but has been changed to reflect a budget for the last six months of the fiscal year (January -June, 1981) and based upon the assumption that the Senior Center remodeling will be completed by May, 1981, and will be open for only two months of the fiscal year. Under "Council Changes," the disbursement amount being added for the two police officers and the two fire fighters include salaries, health insurance and life insurance. The disbursement amount for pension will not be added at this time to the Trust and Agency fund but will be added through a budget amendment during FY81. The contingency contained $100,000 for collective bargaining reserve. The February 15; 1980, memo to Council which proposed this reserve contains the comment: "all units have not settled; also final determination for employees not in collective bargaining units." Since Council has decided to leave management increases at 9.2% the reserve has been decreased to an amount sufficient to cover increases for confidential and for police union employees. These changes result in an ending balance of $1,416,465 with the following restricted and unrestricted amounts: Restricted: Litigation Escrow $ 174,000 FY80 Emcumbrances 54,339 Transit Funding Reserve 150,000 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LA6 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES S73 M 2 FY80 Amendments Needed: General Liability insurance 134,028 Subsidy to Airport 17,318 Unrestricted $ 529,685 886,780 I $ 12416,465 j' The transit funding reserve results from the City's budgeting of $350,000 for transit assistance and will provide a reserve for funding transit operations if the assistance received is lower than budgeted. A portion of the unrestricted balance of $886,780 has been designated for the purchase of the Recreation Center parking lot. The City has just learned that the Amerex litigation has resulted in a judgment being awarded against the City of $93,000. If the City decides to appeal this decision, it will be necessary to place on deposit with the County a bond amounting to 110% of the judgment ($102,300). This judgment or the deposit will need to be taken from the General Fund balance as no monies have been budgeted for such an expenditure. The "Expenditure Detail" provides a detailed breakdown of theprogram budget as published prior to the public hearing. It then shows all subsequent budget changes and the proposed budget which Council is being asked to approve tonight. The State will not allow the City to increase either the tax levies which were published or total expenditures as published prior to the public hearing. If either is increased, the budget information must be published again and another public hearing must be held. Therefore, if Council wishes to make further increases to the expenditure budget above the total published expenditure amount of $22,316,417, budget approval must be delayed until another public hearing can be held. If Council does decide to increase expenditures, I would recommend that the Council approve the budget as presented and direct staff to amend the FY81 Budget during FY81 for any additional changes desired. This would allow us to certify the budget by March 15th. For this same reason, the capital projects budget has been decreased. The budget amount used for publication erroneously did not include the Wastewater Treatment Facility Project ($3,405,000). This project was subsequently added to the capital projects budget but has now been taken out so that the published amount for capital projects is not increased. We will amend the budget in order to add this project back during FY81. The "Expenditure Detail" can also be used as a worksheet if changes are made during tonight's meeting. tp/sp MICROFILMED BY � J ORM MICRf�LAB CEDAR RAPIDS •DES M01NES 573 9 ■ .. -,FY81 BUDGET - GENERAL FUND �1 ADDITIONAL BUDGET CHANGES _ RECEIPTS ------------ UISUURSEML'NTS ENDING FUND ---------------- BALANCE Total General Fund Per Financial Summary (2-29-80 $ Memo) Errors Found in Budgets: 9,971,527 10,016,508 1,347,586 Traffic Engineering - -,600 F'(lleft out temporary) 9re (9,600) (need to add additional clothing cost 2,500 (2,500) j per new provision in FY81 union contract) - P•P.D.-Development Programs - (one salary was incorrect) Senior Center - 2,681 (2,681) (change budget to reflect only 2 (182) (14,999) 14+817 months of operation) Administration/Govt.
