This is a start. To be effective however, these'reports'need to.be7e= viewed by the Council to insure that the priorities of the Council are being followed. - Overall, it is difficult to evaluate the Managers' .per- formance in such areas as delegation of responsibility, Internal reorga- nization, etc. The third area is dealing with other agencies,- such as the University, Regional Planning Commission, the School District, the County, Federal Government and to perhaps be extended to such local groups as CBIC-, Chamber of Commerce, the League of Women.Voters. Generally speaking, with regard to the various governmental, semi -governmental agencies, the City Manager has not improved its -relationship with any of these groups in my opinion and in some cases the relationships have deteriorated. ' Re- garding local city groups , it is difficult to appraise the relationship of the City Manager at this particular time. The fourth area of relationship deals with the public. The City Manager has shown a responsiveness and openness to the community, and in dealing with. the various community leaders and individuals. He has shown a high degree of sensitivity. The formal relationship to the public, via press and radio shows has diminished substantially, perhaps to the betterment of all con- cerned. Internally there have been newsletters generated, covering Urban Renewal and Employee Relations. This has been positive. Administration One aspect of this category is personnel selection/reorganization of City Departments. The City Manager in my opinion has deliberately attempted to reorganize the various Departments within the City in most cases', by -selection of new individuals. While this is -his prerogative, I; believe there has been anextremelack of coordination with the Council in handling this particular matter. I for one would like to have. much more involvement: by the Council in the process, primarily, because I feel that the types of indivi- duals selected has a direct bearing not only on performance, but on the direction the department takes. There was real progress towards implem- entation of EEOC goals and while there is a long way to go, the City Manager; and, staff seem :sincerely interested in moving forward. ' -I have a negative evaluation however, of -the participation by the City in the CETA program. The second area deals with planning. There seems to be at lack of short run and long run planning.by the City Manager. I for one feel the report on the Comprehensive Plan was'a disaster for reasons I have; publicly_ stated.`; There has been a beginning to the setting of goals and objectives, but even; here -- the process has been carried out without consultation with the Council. The third area is dissemination of information.` The City Manager has been involved for a long time in developing a complaint procedure. -.I am an- xiousto see how that recommendation is handled. The`.Manager has utilized the memo as the vehicle of communicating with the Council. This to is a poor form of information, not that it doesn't provide knowledge, but it by its nature limits discourse and makes the Council individuallyrespond to the City Manager, making it difficult.to work out any alternative courses of action. The memos have also had the effect of establishing or modifying policy previously established by the Council. 'Many.examples can be cited,, one particularly is the elimination of the Human Needs' Coordinator, basically; through a memo. The fourth item is the budget. I for one have worked extensively trying to - get measures of effectiveness and productivity established. `These are still yet to be forthcoming. I am very distressed with the lack of a- detailed, bud- ` get process. Early in September, before Joe Pugh left, supposedly, this was going to be worked out. We are now involved intimately in the budget process and yet the role of the Council, the role of the Boards and Commissions and.. the Department heads, is not clear (at least to me). One budget item`that.did go very smoothly was the allocation of funds to the Boards and Commissions. The fifth.area is"individual _projects. ,Under this category, I; include activities in some of the major areas ,such as Urban Renewal-, Ralston Creek,'the Bus System,Collective Bargaining, etc. , that I feel the Council needs to review with the City Manager. This could also be extended to capitol items_. I feel the position of the staff on these items has not been clearly established. Overall I think there has been a hold,on any capitol project improvement and implementation.' It seems in this case we have negated prior work ofithe "City Manager and again, perhaps to the best interests of all concerned. - Still, the City Manager has not taken a stand on many of the major issues that I have mentioned (although again, this may not be a negative),, however, I feel that we need to know the position and direction of the staff and the - Manager on particular issues. The sixth area is the individual Departments. The City Manager basically is responsible for the effectiveness and the administration of these departments. At this point in time however, it is difficult to determine how ,well for exam- ple, the City, Manager has controlled and directed the Police Department, or_ . for that matter, any other department within the city. Hopefully , in`future - - years these types of evaluations by departments, can be incorporated into the e City Manager. evaluations of th The firstlegislativereport meeting with the Loma City Legislator will I be held in the Library on Saturday.

FROM: Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works RE: Muscatine Avenue Federal Funding r{ Rill Nelson and Jim Hogan, representing respectively the Iowa Department of Transportation and the Federal highway Administration,' have reviewed the City's concept statement for Muscatine Avenue they have inspected it in the field. - and - They have indicated they will approve all elements of the project with the exception of the raised median shown from Arthur eastward to Scott Boulevard. They will not permit federal funding with this design element for the following reasons: I. The existance of a raised median leaves a 12-foot travel lane each way with 6-inch curb on both sides of the traveled way. They feel this is too 'narrow and, in particular,-on e stalled vehicle would completely block traffic. Since this is a bus route, any time a bus stopped all traffic would be brought to a halt. 2. The number of left turns would be relatively small, the they can find no Justification for protection of left turns.- by raised islands. An examination of Figure`3 and Figure 4 attached to this memo shows the configuration;_thatwas sub mitted to the State and Federal Highway Administration. Before recommending an alternate plan of action to you, it is necessary to discuss some time constraints. The review, procedure on,FAUS projects is very long. For example, work on the Park Road Bridge,, although we began design which is `also federally-funded,-i.n March` of 1975; completed drawings were finished only".last month. This long' time span is due to the fact that all elements of the design and specifications must bereviewedby both the State and-Federal.-Highway agencies and, in addition, certain public hearing notices must be put in the paper. If the City wishes to construct Muscatine Avenue in the summer of'1976;:it appears that time isa critical element since the detailed _;plans and specifications for Muscatine Avenue have not, yet been initiated. Even under the best of circumstances, the probability.' of getting Muscatine Avenue built this su information should by no mmmer is ,probably 70$. This eans influence your final decision on the bedesign configuration to any large extent, but :it is a'fact that must ,-dealt- with. • -3- 1.
