You will note from this opinion that the federal statute under3,ting the congregate meal program `(Older ,American Act) requires that in order-to be eligible, ,an individual must be both aged 60 or over, and meet one or more of four, specified conditions; and that operating the program on an-open-or blanket' eligibility is in violation of the federal statute which established the program and the regulations which have implemented it. You will also note,from the following newspaper clippings, that the operated in Iowa City and Lone Tree on an congregate meal project is being open or blanket eligibility' policy.

It is bein„'sent toWu.for Yourinformation because it states the situation, as it exists. (Auyust,1975) To the' Editor: This_letter is in reply to the Aug. 29 Letter to the Editor aigned.by Nancy A. Johnson, supervisor of congregate meals for Johnson County. Readers will recall that in my Aug. 26 letter -to the Editor I listed some of the many things the Government is already doing to help -the elderly, and included this statement: "Congregate meals are available in Iowa,,City- and `1; Tree for all individuals ,age 60 oroverone who meet -certain specifications.' In her letter ifs. Johnson disputed that'statement, saying that -the - congregate meals are available in Iowa- City and Lone Tree to all; persons age 60 and over; that there are no other qualifications to be met except to make reservations a day in advance. I take Me. Johnson's statement to be a special invitation to all 4.,258 Of us Iowa Citians who are age -60 -and over, to come to -dinner -on six days of each week.' The 2,750.persons age, 60 and over who live in Johnson ,County outside of Iowa City, they apparently are invited too. Available for the 7,008 persons, age 60 and over, to whom the invitation is extended, are about 35 meals now being served twice arweek and -about :70 mea being served four times a week, in Iowa City, and about 35 meals being servei in; Lone Tree three times a week. These meals are'said-to:be avail= r able to those persons, age 60 and over, who make resedations first. `Before been to_get low, it is said that some days as many as`lle or no meals sere served in Iowa City. uy statement regarding qualifications was based on the provisions of P4111 Lax 92, Title VII, Nutrition Program for the Elderly, which provides fo_ __ establishment of a federal nutrition project which is'set,up to zera minimum of one hot meal per day on at least five days a week in a' = GO—L=itY setting for individuals aged 60 or over who meet :the specifications set _07th in ClausEsl, 2, 3 or 4 of Section701(a)and their spouses, who are;_:ereafter referred to as eligible individuals. Listedalso;as "eligible” are Persons of the "minorities" and members, of limited English speaking groups who are age 60 or over. (See Public Law 92, Title VII, a copy of which is on file in the Government Docu=ents section of the University of Iowa Library.' ?rom the provisions inPublicLaw 92, Title VII, as to will is eligible for the federal nutrition project meals (congregate meals) it is ver apparent' he it'wae not the intention -to Congress to make tax -subsidized meals available to all persons in the United 'St- and for the rest of their live n.

And it `would be so costlgthat it could go a lone; ways toward dianipting the entire federal tax str+.leture. _- I would like to make it very clear, and to emphasize it, that I at not critical of any of those who are now partaking of the congregate:meals in ' Iowa City :or Lone Tree. After all, everyone in Johnson County, age 60and over, -has been invited. But there is something verb, ver y,wrong::ahen thousands of senior citizens -- the rich, the_,i,00r,_'and the :in-between; the physically. able, those of limited mobility, and the disabled — all are invited to cone to dinner six daya a,week when -apparently no care than, two -and -a -half meals are available on any serving day for every ;100 John- son County residents who are age 60 and over.

Chairmanand Alembers_of: the Board: You have requested our opinion in regard to eligibility reeuircments for the Congregate Mcals Program for the Elderly. opinionrequest to us followed your receipt of a letter Ms. Della A. Gri.zel questioning wltct-lier any qualifications __ted for individuals to be served meals. Sub -Chapter VII of _Title 42 of the U.S. Code is the s�a_atory basis for the Congregate Mcals Program -for the Elderly a--inisterect here in Johnson. County and elsewhere. In,inacting t -s lata, Congress found that there was a -need "to assist in the nutritionaland social needs of millions of.persons aged 60 or olds -r-." 42 USC 304S(a). This statute further orovides that ,Many elderly persons do not eat adequately.because (1) they cannot afford to do so; (Z) they lack the skills to select and ,prepare nourishing and taelh balanced meals; (3) they have Jimited mobility which may impair their capacity to shoji -and cook for them= selves; and (4) they 'have feelings of 'rejection and loneliness which obliterate the -incentive'necessary - - to prepare and cat a'_mcal-alone." it shouldhe noted here that the foregoing statutory language - is Identical to the language quoted by is. Gr zel in -her letter although her citation referred to the public lata form instead of the now codified form. -A subsequent section of this same statute, Section 3045c(a)(2) provides ,that funds under this program arc to be disbursed.to recipients of arants or contracts whoagree "to 'provide such nutrition project for'i.ndivi.duals aged 60 -or over who:meet the Board of Supervisors January .16, 1976 Page 2 Specifications set forth in clauses `(l (7Z, (3 or 4 of section 3U,15(a) of this ti.t'1c and their spouses (referred to herein as "eligible indivi.duals");".(Eiuphasis added.) This constitutes a clear statutory incorporation 'oE the.. four specifications for purposes of, eligibility, to participate in the nutrition-progrnm,for tile elderly under the Older ---Americans Act such as operates here in .Johnson County. That the federal statute underlying the Congregate Meals Progyam thus rc(Juires that an eligible individual must both be aged 60 or over and 'meet one or more of the above stated specifications, or be the spouse of such an individual is supported by examining the legislativehistory of the bill. T.-.-- House Report submitted on the b.il.l-states: /_1%he bill provides for participation in nutrition -'projects of .individuals who arc aged 60 or over and .' who meetoneor .more of a -number -of:: conditions �lescii�ed in the statement b.L' )urpose of —the::bill. Unc—car Lhe bi..1.1;-'spouses of such Individuals -are also eligible for participation i.n the nutrition project. The Committee wishes' to make clear that such ,spouses eligibility is not conditioned on age or'upon':meeting' the condi-tions set forth i.n the statement of purpose and findings. (Emphasis -added.) 19.72US Code -" CongressionalandAdministrative News 2036, 2093. Federal regulations, as :in many instances, are issued for purposes of implementing the statute described abovo. A` review of those regulations discloses that they incorporate precisely the; same language as was in the'statute in defining eligible individuals and clearly require meeting one of: the; four specifications in addition to being aged GO or over. See 45 C.F.R. 909.3(x). It is, in vi.civ-of all of the above, our opinion that " admini-stration of the congregate meals program in Johnson County, to whatever extent .it is or has been operated on an open door`- or blanket eligibility policy is in violationof federal statute which ustabLi.shed the program +`and -the regulations which have implemented it. We do recognize that the four specifications are very broad in nature and extremely difficult to measure or judge. That is particularly true of -tile fourth specification which refers to feelings of rejection and loneliness. Even so; a Board of Supercr.i_sors January 1.6,.1976. Page 3 and as broad ag Clic specifications arc stated,`+ authority for adopting a. policy which assumes tac find no indivi.dual ugcd 60 or over meets otic of ``tspecifications., It is our opinion ththe Lour hat at some procedure is required which reviewevery, single ands determines el.iglbil:i.ty pursuant to tile four specifications. It should be added that, i.n our opinion, the piroccdures adopted Lor this Clete.InI'm i.nation heed not be'complex or administratively burdensome. In .fact, the statute,. its legislative_history and the implementing regulations make it cicar,rcpeatedly• hat .it Live the intention .on of Consist program to avoid significant'adminiatra- dmi costs and, consistent' with that approach, a._complex administrative procedure for ident.i-Eying Cli.gible persons'should be avoided. 11hi.l.e it is certainly not our place"tpersonrminc hotf'to administer this necessary procedure, l relatively simple `orm could be utilized whereon an individual`des-ring:ao "tilize -the congregate meals program could simply state their e, their age, and check one or more of the Lour statutory ciEications -indicating that they apply to themselves as-one king to Participate i.n the program. ;_Ln view of the. broad cification categories, -i.t -would be our view that an `individual's �aratton that they are within one-of the categories would s__:ice. want to clarify one 'other point of discussion that ,was Whether=3 sad in requesting the opinion.

Because I reside on the east side - of town, I often walk tothedowntown area via College street. For the past -several months, the decency of this walk has been Interrunted abruptly by the presence of vomit along the block of College street between Dubuque and Clinton. There are two local taverns:, on that block and the regurgitation (which seems to be present almost daily) Is inevitably on the pavement in front of those two establishments. Aside from this problem being a very` obvious eyesore in the downtown area, itisprobably not the most hygenic of things to be left'; lying around. I feel it would be to the benefit of all Iowa Citians if the council would take some sort of action to get rid of this mess. May I suggest that one way to resolve this problem would be to require the management of these taverns to hose down, or clean the pavement In front of their establishments at closing time, orearlythe following morning. An expedient resolution to this problem would be appreciated, I am sure,by-all persons using -that block of College street. GV Sincerely DebraCagan -1030 E. Court Since July of 1979 a group of people known: as the Sign Review Committee have been meeting twice a month to study, discuss, -;and -review the present sign ordinance. The goal of the committee is to examine in detail the operation of the current sign ordinance;_ since it has been in effect for some two years, and to arrive at a set of recommendations.for desirable amendments for consideration by the City, Council. The committee has been composed of representatives 'from local businesses the Chamber of Commerce, the local legal profession, sign erecting -com- panies, the Iowa City staff, the local -architectural '(profession, '`"the University -of Iowa, and from the Iowa City City Council. Since January 1, 1976, the City Council has been without representation on this committee. It is the consensus of the committeethat.it,is vitally_important toi_have a member of the present City Council to. participate in and monitor the deliberations of the 'committee. It is urgently requested that a member of the present City Council be appointed as soon as possible to serve on the Sign Review Committee. The committee meets regularly on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month for one hour starting at 8:30 a.m. in the City, Manager's Conference Room at the Civic Center.

IOWA 52240 January 27, 1976 JAil2 i ib The Honorable Mayor and City Council of Iowa City Civic Center CiTY CL SRX I_ Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Re: Municipal Regulation of Economic Activity Mayor and Council Members: Last fall the City Council requested that the Legal Department study the possibilities of City legislation in the area of anti-trust law and economic regulation. The question had arisen in connection with dis- cussion of landlord -tenant problems in Iowa City and the, general rental housing situation. , I have asked Angela Ryan to make a preliminary study of the possibilities of anti-trust and economic conduct legislationforIowa City.'' Attached you will _find a preliminary report from Ms. Ryan on this subject. Ms. Ryan's conclusion, :in- which ,I concur, is that at least on a preliminary basis the City of Iowa City. would have authority to`enact ordinances and regulations. prohibiting certain types Ofeconomic conduct' which would be detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of ,our community. We find nothing in federal or state statutes which would rule out such legislation. Before we move forward into a more detailed study of this subject we would like to discuss the matter with you. "I believe that several strong arguments can be made for legislation in this area. Certainly .economic conduct can have an important effect on the welfare of the community. Citizens, -especially low_ income citizens, are. directly affected by charges which they must pay for housing, .food, and other basic goods and services. Conduct which serves to improperly reduce or eliminate competition in the provision, of these commodities and ser- vices can be very detrimental to the welfare of such citizens. Further, all citizens are consumers of goods and services provided in the community and are adversely affected by conduct which unduly restricts competition or otherwise interferes with. the working of the free-market. Indeed it can be argued that local citizens are more directly affected by local conduct which is anti-competitive or monopolistic than they are by The Honorable Mayor and City Council of Iowa City - 2 - January 27,. 1976 such conduct on the national or international scale. The City of Iowa City already has laws which touch either directly or indirectly upon economic activity in the community. Our zoning ordinances, building and housing codes are examples. Arguably the City of Iowa City has just as legitimate an interest, for example, in seeing to it that landlords do not enter into agreements to _fix rents as we do in seeing to it that landlords do not provide substandard housing. However, there are several difficult issues which should be considered before proceeding with legislation in this area. 'First of all, as Ms. Ryan indicates in her study, legislation of this sort is extremely rare and I am sure that Iowa City would be one of. the first' communities in the United States to adopt such legislation if it were adopted here. One of the reasons that such legislation is very unusual is that the regulation of; economic conduct is a very difficult and time consuming enterprise. For Iowa City to become involved in such regulation on any significant scale it would be necessary for the City to employ persons with the necessary background in economics, accounting, and related skills to perform market studies and the like on the scale necessary to prosecute anti-trust actions. -Parenthetically I would indicate, however, that it might be possible to adopt an ordinance and rely upon private individuals and citizens groups to prosecute actions under the ordinance and thereby enforce it. These are examples only of some of the considerations to which -I am sure you will want to address yourselves in considering the wisdom of proceeding further in this area. I would suggest that this matter be discussed at an informal meeting of the City Council and that the Council give direction to the Legal Department and let us know whether -you wish us to do further studies in this -area and whether you want us to draft a possible ordinance for your consideration. Respectfully submitted, JolW. I-Iayek JWH:vb: l Enclosure DATE: January 23, 1976 TO: John .Hayek, City Attorney FROM: _Angela Ryan, Law Clerk - L' r RE: Feasibility of a Municipal Anti-trust Ordinance { _.. -.. FU is UTY c- t _< Anti-trust, laws have been enacted on the Federal, State and municipal levels. Most anti-trust cases are prosecuted on.the Federal level. For jurisdiction under the Sherman Act the 'illegal ,activity must either;. operate on or within the flow `ofinterstate commerce or affect interstate commerce. The Clayton Act adopted in 1914 supplemented the Sherman Act outlawing specific practices such as exclusive dealing arrangements, tyingarrangements and requirements contracts. The Robinson-Patman Act of 1936 was _ f enacted in response to the growth of chain stores and its applica gj ..tion depends upon requisite involvement in interstate commerce. Except as limited by the commerce clause of the Federal Consti- tution aState legislature may legislate with_respect.to all: trusts and conspiracies in restraint of trade. Therefore, an illegal activity could be a violation of both Federal and .State law. In matters -rela- ting to interstate transactions, a state may; pass regulations.-to prohibit restraints of trade even if the Federal Government has no law whatever with respect to similar matters involving 'interstate `trans- actions. While "trade and _commerce" under the.Sherman-Act have been broadly construed, the scope of-state anti-trust laws is-unually more narrow. Some state codes cover only commodities, articles of:manu- facture and.products of the soil; others are limited to articles of -- - common-use.For-example, the Court. in Nasman v. Bankof New York, 49 N.Y.F.2d 181:(1944), held that bidding on real estate'did :not fall. `within the state anti-trust law .which _related to necessities in the form. of vendible tangibles. The court stated that sale and purchase of realty is not a necessity of life. In State of Arkansas v. Frank, 169 S.W. 333 (1914), price fixing the cost of laundering was_held to - - be outside the scope of the State anti-trust law. The scope of Iowa Code 553.1, Pools and Trusts, is "any article, commodity or merchandise to be manufactured,- mined,: produced or sold in this state...." The Court in Rohlf.v. Kasemeir, 140 Towa`182 (1908) held that "merchandise" refers' primarily to those things that merchants sell and that -the word "commodity" qualified by the words:.:._ "manufactured, mined, produced or sold" did not include labor,,,skilled --or-unskilled,-though the word "commodity" primarily means a conveni- ence,'profit.or advantage and in reference to commerce comprehends everything movable that is, bought or sold - except animals. The issue in Rohlf v.-Kasemeir was whether physicians could agree upon a fee schedule for professional services. The Court held 'that ,commodity" does not include personal services. Rental of realproperty would :not seem to come within the subject matter of section 553. -- Municipal Ordinances. - -- The only municipal anti-trust ordinances I have found -are quite old - to restrain and punish forestalling and regrating.- Forestalling is the act ofbuying or contracting .for any merchandise or provision on its way to the market with the intention of selling it again at a higher price; or dissuading persons from bringing their goods or provi- sions there; or, persuading` them to enhance the price when there. Regrating is the offense of, buying ata fair or market any provisions, corn or other dead victual with the intention of selling the same again _ in the same fair or market thereof at a higher price. Forsyth Mfg. Co .v. Castlen, 37:S.E.:485 (1900). These ordinances we_r_e held -valid -.under authority granted to municipalities -to g provide for or ulate ma11 rkets. ,. York v. Hatterer, 48 P.Super.,216 (1911). An important point is that there was an expressed delegation by'the State Legislature to the municipalities to regulate-andcontrol their markets. Real Property I found very little referencetothe use of anit-trust in relation to real property. There have been a few cases involving.real estate:. brokers, closing costs and title opinions. In a 1951 Law Review article Professor Marcus argued that the sale and rental of real property is --an item of trade or commerce and a necessity of life and therefore subject matter for anti-trust suits both under state and federal', law. Federal suits would be limited to Washington, D.C. and cities alongstate borders when real estate advertisements were, listed inneighboringstates.--His focus was on the use of anti-trust in the area of racial.'discrimination. He felt that citizens' organizationsformedto keep communities white and restrictive .covenants showed a concert ofiaction -orargreement_-to restrict the rental or sale of houses. -Since segregation causes a deviation from free competition it is an anti-trust violation. Marcus, Civil Rightsandthe Anti-trust Laws, 18 U.Chi.L.R.171,(1951). He cited no cases and, upon shepardizingthe article, `Ifound -no- subsequent' . -_-- -'--articles or cases, on -point. Home Rule Whether Iowa City can enact an anti-trust ordinance requires the consideration_ ofthe power of cities under home rule.- Clearly there is no express delegation as with the power to regulate markets :but neither " does there appear to be state preemption. Rental of real property 'does not fit within the definition of merchandise or commodities of section 553, Pools and Trusts. State preemption is found when: the state expresses an intent to occupy- the area, where its scheme regulation is so perva- sive that it is a reasonable inference -that -there is no room for the - municipality to supplement, where state interest is -so'dominant that:it would be assumed to preclude enforcement in the same area or'where there is a danger of conflict of administration. City of Des Moines v. Reiter, 251 Iowa 1206, 102 N.W.2d 363`(1960); Town of Randolph v. Gee, .199 Iowa 201 N.w.`567 (1925). „_ r Chapter 364 recognizes that the state and city will oftenlegislate i. in the same area. For"example,-364.2(3): "An exercise of a`city power is not inconsistent with astate law; unless it is irreconcilable with ' the state law. 364.3(3) - A city may not set standards and_require-" mentswhich are lower or lessstringentthan-those-imposed by state law, - but may set standards and requirements which arehigher or more stringent .' than those imposed by state law, unless a state law provides otherwise."'. Therefore, the factthatthe state has enacted some legislation in an area is not enough to concludethatthere is state preemption'. Under Article III, section 40, the limitations upon a municipality are -the following: 1. The home rule power cannot be inconsistent with the laws of the General Assembly; 2.. It must be exercised only with regard to local affairs and governments; _3. It does not include the power to levy taxes. "I With regard to the second point, there are noprecise-testsas to what is alocal concern.- The courts consider whether state-wide uniformity is desirable; whether municipal legislation would significantly affect persons living outside the city; whether intergovernmental'cooperation is required to protect those living. outside. the city;: and historical, _. areas of responsibility..:Rental ofreal property would seem .`_to be; a" matter of local concern although some courts have held it to, be a_matter -_.- of_state-wide. concern in rent control :cases:be.cause `it affected adjacent municipalities. Chapter 364.1 places another limitation on cities. "This grant of home rule powers does not include the power to enact private or civil law governing civilrelationships, except as incident to an- exercise of anindependent.-city power." -Under the police power ._a municipality _ indirectly interferes with the private landlord/tenant relationship in the enactment of housing codes, zoning regulations and slum clearance and redevelopment. In states where municipalrent control ordinances have been held invalid the courts held that it was a'direct_rather than indirect -regulation .of.. the landlord/tenant relationship. An anti-trust ordinance may: be distinguished from rent control in.that it;does-.not i regulate the landlord/tenant relationship but rather the landlord/landlord relationship where no civil relationship exists. - - Anti-trust Violations Anotherconsiderationis,the type of conduct which violates anti- trust laws. The fact that all landlords charge the same rent for a similar unit is not enough to be considered price fixing. -Identical prices are a neutral fact in the absence of evidence which_would_.lead es would have been.different-if-truly independent one to expect that pric decisions had been made. Identical, prices may be consistent with indepen dent competitive decisions. It becomes suspicious if prices remain existence of an agreement. It is necessary to show that decisions were interdependent, that - - - they were consistentwith the,.- individualself-interest of _those con-"-: cerned only if they all decided the, same way. There must be some agreement, some minimal meeting of the minds or acquiescence. Merely taking into accountthe-probable reactionofcompetitors in, setting prices without more in the way of agreement is not unlawful price fixing. Since there are no modern municipal anti-trust ordinances, the area is open and unclear. Under Home Rule, it appears possible that a PENDING LITIGATION PAGE 4 SATE CASE CAPTION W z ►_ m W Z o "" o w COMMENTS/STATUS ' CoAND o o a Q mow cr ;- ;: u z SUBJECT U Korshoj Const. Co: v.

Yetasyou and i know, many people are finding it 'ever harder to ;meet these basic needs. - Rising prices, global shortages, ;and lack`of.nutrition education mean that millions in America and around the world can't get a nourishing meal on the table: To highlight this problem and: to push for concrete change, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, `a -non-profit' organization headed'by scientists, is sponsoring FOOD DAY. FOOD' DAY, April 8,_1976,_a national -day of action on the food crisis, will be a time for Americans--who:eat their way.through $200- billion worth of food each year --to learn about; problems in the - food supply and to get involved in solving them. Food Day 176 will focus particular attention on food policies at the state and local level Food Day.organizers are urging local governments to work with citizens groups, people, churches, unions and farmers to formulate realistic and responsible policiesreflecting humanneedsand available resources. Local food programs can include support for farmers markets, buying clubs, urban gardening, modern nutrition education in schools, supermarkets, and Community Centers; and maximum participation in federal food programs.,; I invite you to join me now in promoting this worthy project by I' sending asletter of endorsement to Food Day, Center for Science in the Public Interest, 1779 Church St., N.W., Washington_,D.C. -20036; and by appointing a coordinator of;Food Day activities`. If you will include the name of'your _coordinator,'th'e Center will send additional materials on Food Day directly to him.

NEAL BERLIN, CITY MANAGER RE: FY 77-81 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Attached is the proposed FY 77-81 Capital Improvements Program for the City of Iowa City. :It has been prepared in two basic parts. Part I contains summary charts and detailed project forecasts.by year and Part II; contains a detailed narrative description of each project contained' within the current CIP, all new projects submitted for possible inclusion in the FY 77-81 _CIP, and action taken on each. The attached CIP reflects the priorities identified by the City Council in last r year's document, the staff's perception of the current City Council's priorities. as obtained by the staff in the goals and objectives discussions,` modifications- " required for the insertion of new mandated projects, and 'alterations 'made by the staff due to estimations of workload capacities. The City Council's role at this point is two-fold: 1.) To review the 'document in order to obtain a working knowledge-of the identified projects, the::relationship to past'CIP's, and the general' position of the City. 2.) To be prepared to identify those areas in which they disagree with _the ;priorities and sequencing of projects. Alternatives to these priorities should be noted and discussed to allow `amend- ment 'of this proposed document. As in the past, this proposed CIP should be considered to be a working document for the purpose of forecasting the City of, Iowa City's long-term capital_ projects. Undue _'emphasis should not be placed on'the FY 77-78-years; the focus of the attention' should be on the total five year`. period. Adjustments in the priorities and scheduling can and will-be made' at the Council's direction:' In general, you will find that this CIP relies leas on operating`-revenue than we have in the past because of the tight-situation in the'General:Fund operation and maintenance area Revenue: bonds-projections remain basically- the same as {. in the; past; however, the general obligation bond"funding`.has;increased signi- ficantly.- The major reason for the GO increase is the input of a major revision of the Waste Treatment facilities in the year FY '77-79, at a coat of approximately 4 million dollars in general obligations. This expenditure -on:the-treatment- plant-coupled he;treatmentplant coupled with the projected 4 million dollar GO issue for the River Corridor Trunk Sewer has made a major impact on our bonding capacity. We have not fore-,- i casted any input of federal revenue sharing since the federal; program formally- terminates December ormally_terminates`December 31,:1976. Federal and state grants and aid have: increased significantly basically because-of the waste treatment facility contribution in . FY'77-79. The major new source of funding reflected in the Capital Improvements Program this year„is the rHousing `6 CommunityDevelopmentAct. We have; forecasted and attached an HCDA Project Summary Sheet which details the projected use of these" i To: City Council January -30, 1976 Page 2 funds over the entire length of the CIP period. ,In developing these figures, -we have included only projects.which:were funded -.in the. original grant application, noting the subsequent year commitment made at that time:and the projects which were identified in last ,year's CIP as federal assistance unspecified. In the summary sheet, we have projected the _total HCDA income to the City of $8;242098. If all projects as identified are completed, the ;total allocation to the City - remaining uncommitted at this point is $1,919,498. It must be noted,, however, that this -amount does not take into account any.administrative cost of: the program past the first year's application,-- any continuance of the housing and rehabili-" tation programa, any commitment to the parks acquisition'and development area past FY 77, i.e. annual'$80,000,'any .extension of the Comprehensive Plan past the first submission, or any possible alternative funding chosen by the,Council for the Urban Renewal R-14 Project. ,The Council may want to consider the total, five year,HCDA allocation as itrelates to several of the major "construction Projects oftheCity during the same period. Items forconsiderationwould be - the River Corridor Trunk Sewer Improvement, Waste Treatment Facilitiesimprove- ments, Ralston Creek Project, and the City's bonding commitment to Urban Renewal R-14. It should be noted in the proposed FY 77-81 Capital Improvements Program that the, allocation of Road Use Tax to the Streets' function remains constant at $150,000 per year for the lastfour years of this particular period. The funding of this function remains dependent upon the availability of_Road.Use Tax monies and,:, as noted in FY 77,ra surplus of monies is not available over and above the cost of operation of the Traffic Control and Streets Maintenance Divisions.. Therefore,,no asphalt resurfacing' program will be' attempted in FY 77. The Council's decision in the FY 76 Budget to utilize SRoad _Use Tax to fully _fund the Traffic Control and 'Street 'Maintenance area has required a total commitment of existing Road Use Tax 'Funds in the operation and maintenance .budget. 'Future funding of asphalt resurfacing programs and Streets and Traffic' Control' capital ' projects through the use of_Road_Use Taxis questionable-4s'can be seen -by the ` increased use of general obligation bonds within this area. In general, -the -proposed CIP reflects a rather aggressive construction schedule for a City of our size, -and -a significant increase'in our utlization of general .S obligation debt. The City remains within its statutory debt limitations as noted in the State of Iowa Constitution, Article XI, Section III, and the Iowa City Fiscal Policy limits as noted in paragraph 5 of that policy.
