There was alsono money budgeted for tree trimming above ground level. That amount had been estimated at approximately $10,000. The proposal for a summer playground at Mark IV was then discussed. Staff explained that the legality of using private property was not a problem. Staff raised the question of setting a precedent by es- tablishing a playground program at Mark IV. * Following further discussion, it was moved by Powell and was seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission recom rend that Staff proceed, for this summer, with a pilot project along the lines indicated in Bob Lee's memo of Mardi 13, 1975, "Proposal for Playground at Mark IV' (attached). Unanimous. Commission requested Bob Lee to investigate the possibility of budget rearrangements in order to also provide supervised activities during August at Mark IV. Staff was -asked to coordinate this investigation with Eleanor Gerow. David Cempton then presented the mid -year S.P.I. Report (attached). The • program to date has included 509 participants and 202 volunteers over a 2 1/2 month period. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons are devoted to children with the adult program meeting on Friday evenings. Calpton indicated that the program's major problems are funding and transportation and suggested that Camnission and Staff look into the possibility of using Social Security funds and/or money from foundations to fund the program. Stockman and Compton will work with Staff to provide a framework for the use of Social Security funds plus the re- quired 258 local match. Due '-o the fact that several Commission members are new, Fox asked for an informal vote to get a ooncensus of this Commission's feeling about the S.P.I. Program. Camnission indicated unanimous backing for expanding programming for Special Populations groups. Ccupton then announced that Mayor Czarnecki had been asked to proclaim the week of March 21 through Mardi 28 as "Recreation for Special Pop- ulations Week..- The proposed recreational motorcycle area was discussed. There were several areas of concern voiced by Commission regarding age of users, licensing, and liability. Tam Wegman pointed out that the idea of an area like this would be to get kids and adults off the streets with their motorcycles. Bob Bowfin, Assistant City Attorney, was in attend- ance and was asked by Commission to work with Tom Wegman and report bade to Commission at its next regular meeting on what would be the most ml:nimil franlr+work of; ��il�il for. thin ly( of: area, i.nr_].irli.rr3 an opini-on on the legality of unlicensed pcople using the area. page 4 Park and Recreation Commission • March 19, 1975 Fox reportedthat there is a planning segment in the Housing and Com- munity Development Act proposal, but that no decision has been made on allocation of funds for park site planning. She commented that, with regard to park site planning, there are two possibilities and asked Staff to outline then for Commission. Dennis Showalter reported that he had been in contact with Mr. Bob Dyas of Iowa State University regarding the possible use of eight members of a Landscape Architecture class to do a master plan and a planting plan for the City of Iowa City. The class would be willing to work at no expense but would, if passible, Like $100-$200 for travel expenses. The second possibility would be to hire a temporary part-time landscape architect out of the $10,000 remaining from the FY 74 C.I.P. Costs were estimated as follows: 3 months @ $700/month + $400 for materials=$2,500 * Following discussion, it was moved by Mascher and seconded by Davis that the Park and Recreation Camri.ssion reeam-end to Staff that the Land- scape Architecture students from Iowa State University work on the Villa ie Park and that they be paid expenses not to exceed $200. Unanimous. U)'07a •` Tom Cilek will be Commission's liaison person with the students on the Villa Park project. * In reviewing the allocation of the rest of the FY 74 C.I.P. funds, it was moved by Mascher and seconded by Kelley that the Park and Rec- reation Commission recommend to Staff that $2,500 of the FY 74 remain- ing $10,000 be committed to the hiring of a temporary part-time land- scape architect. Unanimous. Gene Chubb reported on the meeting of the baseball and softball repre- sentatives. He voiced their desire to hold tournaments in Iowa City and oommiented that there had been no request for additional funds from the City for that purpose. Commission requested that Mascher and Sangster work with Staff to explore the possibilities of tournament play in Iowa City and report back to Ccmmmission at the next meeting. Dennis Showalter presented a report on the Zoo which outlined plans to improve the existing structures and animal population. The improvements would include installing 40" x 40" glass windows for viewing the inside cages and glassing over the walk between the outdoor and indoor cages. He estimated the Dost of the glass at approximately $1,000, with the labor to be performed by the Park crew. He also presented a list of animals that he would suggest for purchase at an approximate cost of $2,600 plus freight costs. The total cost of these improvements would be approximately $4,000. page 5 Park -and Recreation Commission Mardi 19, 1975 • Due to the presence of new members on the Commission, Chairperson Fox called for an informal vote to get a conoensus of feeling regarding the future of the Zoo. The conoensus was to try and improve the ex- isting Zoo, postponing.any elaborate plans such as included in the Brauer Report until the City's Catprehensive Plan is completed. * Following further discussion, it was moved by Powell and seconded that, with regard to Staff's proposal, the Park and Recreation Commission sup- port an effort not to exceed $4,000 to improve the existing Zoofacilities. Cilek, Davis, Fox, Hebert, Kelley, Powell, and Stockman voted aye with Mascier_ voting -nay and Sangster absent. Motion carried. Kelley agreed to be the liaison person for Ommission regarding the Zoo. * It was then moved and seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission - recommend to Staff that $5,000 of the FY 74 remaining $10;000 be taken and applied to trees. Davis, Fox, Mascher, and Kelley voted aye with Cilek, Hebert, and Stockman voting any. Notion carried. _Finalizing for Staff the breakdown of the FY 74 remaining $10,000 of Neighborhood Funds and on the basis of Gene Chubb's mom, Commission suggested allocating the money as follows, along the lines of the above discussion: • Landscape Architect $2,500 Zoo Animals $1,500 Sturgis Ferry _$1,000 These monies are in addition to the $5,000 for trees. In conclusion, use of the City school' facilities for recreation acti- vities was discussed. * It was moved by Davis and seconded by Kelley that the meeting be ad- journed at. 11:05 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Ellen R.

Compton, Project Director February, 1975 • PHILOSOPHY It is obvious that the provision of wholesome opportunities for the satisfaction of leisure needs of special populations is essential to good individual and community health. Special populations are within our community and, thus, entitled to leisure opportunities that can give a feeling of worth and a measure of fulfillment to their lives. It is the community's responsibility to see that these needs are - met for several reasons. Special populations, like all people, have the right to self-expression, social involvement, and creative expression. • First, and foremost, those who are disabled, disadvantaged, or have deficits or dysfunctions, are human beings: They and their families are taxpayers and, thus, are entitled to all services rendered by public agencies. . Secondly, many of the so-called "normal" aspects of life, i.e., marriage, college, jobs, are closed to these individuals. Thus, recrea- tional services are needed to fill a void in their lives. Public services provide an opportunity for socialization among all members of the community.

Public servicesprovide an opportunity for socialization among all members of the community. Much self confidence and self worth are attained when they are allowed to compete or work with the "normal" members of the community. Just as "normal" individuals in society have a variety of differences, the same is true of special populations. These individuals do not exhibit the came• characteristics as everyune else in their group. It should be recognized that in all cases-the-individuals with whom we are concerned exhibitcharacteristics that are more similar to, rather than different from, the remainder of society. This similarity leads to the contention that perpetual segregation of recreation experiences based soley on the criteria of age, physical ormentaldisability, race, or socioeconomic level is both unfortunate and extremely limiting to any person. A more useful approach would be to base such entry into recrea- tional program opportunities on the criteria of intent, experience, • functional capacity, and skill level. GENERAL INFORMATION • Special Populations Involvement (SPI) is a pilot project of the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department. The project is supported by the efforts of several agencies, including the Recreation Education Program, University of Iowa, therapeutic recreation classes, and USOE/BE Training - Grant for Personnel Preparation in Therapeutic Recreation Service to Handicapped Children. -During the summer of 1974 a study was undertaken to assess the recreational needs and involvement of special populations in Iowa City. Tabulations and analysis of one-hundred (100) survey questionnaires revealed a definite need for and interest in community based recreation programs_ for special populations. This information was, subsequently presented to the low,, City Parks and Recreation Commission and the Iowa • 3 • City, City Counrii, hnlh who authorized Lhe irealiun of SPI as a pilot project within the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Deparl.menl. _ With authorization to conduct the project. SPI staff began providing community based recreation programs in October, 1974. _The program activities were planned, coordinated, and conducted by Ms. Carol Stensrud and Ms. Twyla flisselhorn, co-coordinators, and Mr. Thomas Davis, USOE/DEH graduate practicum student, with assistance from volunteer therapeutic recreation students in the Recreation Education Program. The project director, Dr. David Compton, provided direction and consultation to the SPI staff and Iowa City ParksandRecreation staff. Mr. Robert Lee, Director of Recreation, provided direction for all facility, equipment and scheduling arrangements. PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES SPI staff set forth certain goals and objectives which it hoped to attain during -the year. The following list includes the stated goals and objectives for 1974-75. GOALS 1. Providing recreation services to special populations in Iowa City. 2. Providing a training site for therapeutic recreation students (both undergraduate and graduate) in community based recreation for special populations. 3. Demonstrating that a community based program for special populations is feasible and necessary.

A meeting room was reserved for evening sessions; the social hall was available on Mondays for dance, music, and drama; and the exercise room, archery/riflery room, arts and crafts room and basketball areas were available upon request. The recreation staff was also very cooperative as they were ready and • willing to supply SPI with needed mateirdls auul/or expertise in various' • skills or ,ict.ivitie-,. Budget/Fiscal Matters SPI had no established budget for Fall, 1974. Materials and supplies for the program were provided by funds from the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department and donations. Expenditures Personnel (estimated contribution Co -coordinators) $2,000.00 Printing 100.00 Stamps 60.00 Supplies (office) 40.00 Special events 25.00 ,2 5.00 Income Benefit Dance 5127.00 Car wash 19.00 • BEH Training Grant (estimated amount of contributed time by two BEH students) 2,000.00 Donations: Printing (Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department) 100.00 Other 79.00 $2,225.00 - Problems The following were the major problems encountered during the first semester of operation. 1) Transportation - Participation was inhibited due to the lack of transportation for special populations ,in Iowa City. 2) Initial scheduling was inappropriate to participants' needs; Interference and/or overlap with participants' education. 3) Program communication between volunteers and co -coordinators. • 7 • 4) Coverage by news media. Difficulty in acquiring approval • due to an extensive approval system. 5) Interagency communication. Agencies appeared to be unsupportive and thus communication was difficult in some instances. 6) Community support and awareness. This may relate to ram. ` inadequate news releases and to the newness of this program. 7) Lack of operating funds. No established budget. - S) Lack of reliable funding sources. Staff/Personnel _ rdinated all administrative efforts of SPI. Dr David Compton - coo He has voluntarily directed SPL since its inception in May, 1974. He served as liaison between the recreation education program and the city officials. Dr. Compton's weekly committment was approximately ten hours • per week. Carol - Co -coordinator of SPI Ms. Stensrud served as volunteer coordinator, Monday and Friday program activities coordinator, coordinator of funding projects, and agency coordinator. Carol was also involved in direct leadersl:ip, supervision and administrative duties. Her committment was approximately 30 hours -- per week. Twyla Misselhorn - Co -coordinator of SPI. Ms. Misselhorn was involved in the original SPI research project. She initiated the agency and participant surveys, compiled all data, and developed the program proposal.

Program changes for spring semester include the addition of an open swim for both children and adults on Wednesday evenings and the change of — location of the Boy Scout program. The Scout troop is now chartered and meetings will be held at the First Congregational Church at the Inter- " section, of Clinton and Jefferson streets. - Personnel changes this semester are as follows: - Tom Davis has completed his practicum and will no longer be working with SPI. Connie Williams is now working with the program as a student intern. Her duties will primarily be in the areas of financing, budget, • and public relations. She will work 15 hours per week with the program. Carol Stensrud - In addition to her duties already assigned, Ms. Stensrud will serve as swim coordinator and assist with LMIT project coordination. Twyla Misselhorn - Ms. Misselhorn's additional responsibilities this semester include serving as a liaison with Upward Bound, assisting with LMIT project coordination, and serving as leisure counseling coordinator. Budget - Again this semester SPI has no established source of operating funds. SPI will rely heavily on donations and contributions to fund the program. At present approximately $100.00 is available to work with, which was acquired from the first benefit dance. • to Special Olympics - SPI is supporting the Johnson County Special • ` Olympics through participation, volunteers, _and arranging facilities _.- for training. Summar The Special Populations Involvement program is developingrapidly, but its immediate goals are limited in service by finances and personnels Future goals may be created only if there is increased community awareness and support; allocated funds; and additional supplies, materials and equipment. If these are made available, SPI can provide service to an increased population through expanded programming of a -diversified and higher quality nature.

We have been informed by Mr. Lahr, Director of Ancillary Services for the Iowa City Community Schools that because of building construction work a playgroun program at Lemme school will not be possible this summer. Consequently, since we have budgeted for this operation, the necessary funds for staff and equipment will be available. `1.Our proposal is to conduct an eight week activity at Mark IV very much similar to the playground program held at the various school and park facilities. Special adaptations would be given consideration in attempt to meet the needs of the youngsters participating. Essentially the program will begin June 9 and continue five days a week through August 1. Activities would be offered from 1 to 4:30 and 2 evenings per week, or the equivalent in hours at times more suitable if deemed advisable, under the guidance of two qualified, paid leaders. All equipment would be provided_by_the City and as with other city programs craft projects would include both free and inexpensive projects paid for by the participant. The playground program is designed to interest children and youths from age 6 - 16 although the greatest appeal is to the elementary age child. The permanent equipment available on thesitewill have a direct effect upon some ' activities particularly for the Junior and Senior High age youth.

Kirkman, Secretary Director's Report March 27, 1975 FINANCE Our budget for FY 1976 at $350,000 is $18,933 less than was requested but $85,000 more than calendar 1974 ( a 32% increase). It allows us to have one additional staff person (Mime Child- rens-Room Assistant and 'Mime increase to the assistant in the Information/Reference Service.) It also brings up our Materials budget to 1972 and 1973 -levels. The City Council did find it necessary, however, totake$14,000 of our Revenue Sharing funds and apply it to the cost repairing our roof. We have approximately $7,000 remaining for the card catalog unit (on order) and the 3rd floor exit. BUILDING & EQUIPMENT ` The repairs to the roof will be.done jointly with repairs needed for the Recreation Building,Rooin. The City is in the process of preparing specifications and is hoping'to move ahead rapidly. The architects drawings for the 3rd floor exit are in the hands of the City Engineer. The bid process may be informal; it will depend on the estimated cost of the project. The new Xerox A000 will be installed approximately March 15.

HAYEK ATTORNEYS AT. LAW AREA CODE 319 - JOHN W.HAYEK 110 EAST WASHINGTON STREET- - - -337-9606 C. PETER HAYEK IOWA CITY. IOWA 52240 April 1, _ 1975 The Honorable Mayor and City Council of Iowa City - Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Re: Council Election Districts - Implementation of City Charter Mayor and Council Members: You will shortly have before you a question related to implementing the new Iowa City Charter. Specifically, you will have the responsibility of determining whether or not new precincts need to be created for Iowa City and the adoption, by ordinance, of the council election districts necessary for the November regular election. I am by this letter reporting to you on some of the legal: issues involved in this process. Section 372. 9 of the 1975 Code of Iowa provides that if a Home Rule Charter is adopted by the voters the elective officers provided for in the charter are to be elected at the next regular city election. Although the new charter does not come into effect until January 1, 1976, it is my opinion that the above cited section of the State Code, at least by implication, empowers and in fact requires the City Council to create the necessary three council districts set forth in Section 2. 02 of the City Charter and necessary for the election of council persons. A map drawn up by the Charter Committee was filed with the City Clerk on June 8, 1973. This map dividing Iowa City into three proposed council districts was filed at the same time as the proposed charter. The question has arisen as to whether or not the map of June 8, 1973, has been adopted either by the council or the voters and therefore would constitute the necessary division into council districts. In my opinion this map does not have any such effect and has not been adopted. I have been unable to find any ordinance or resolution of the City Council officially adopting the June 8, 1973 map and dividing the city into Mayor and City Council April 1, 1975 Page Two three council districts. Further, Resolution No. 73-316, dated July 20, 1973, wherein the City Council directed that the question of adoption of the Home Rule Charter be submitted to the voters, makes no reference to the map or the proposed council districts. A copy of that resolution is attached to this report as Exhibit A. Further, the question on the ballot submitted to the voters makes no reference to the map nor is there reference to the proposed council districts. A copy of the Commissioner of Elections' report containing the election results and the wording of the ballot is attached to this report as Exhibit B. Furthermore only the City Council is empowered to establish voting precincts and voting distc•icts or wards under the provisions of Chapter 49 of the 1975 Code of Iowa. As indicated, the City Council of Iowa City is empowered by - - Chapter 49 of the Code of Iowa to adopt voting precincts and wards or districts. At present Iowa City has twenty-five voting precincts and the question has arisen as to whether or not it will be necessary to change these voting precincts into a number of precincts divisible by - three for the creation of the three council districts. The City Council does have the authority to amend and change the voting precincts under - - the provisions of Section 49. 8(3) of the Code of Iowa since we had a special federal census taken last year. Section 2. 02 of the City Charter provides that the Council, by ordinance, shall divide the city into three council districts "of substantially equal population". In addition, constitutional and other statutory require- ments would, it seems to me, require that council districts be of sub- stantially equal population. Section 49. 5(3) of the 1975 Code of Iowa directs that when a city is divided into wards it shall be on the basis of population and the ward boundaries shall follow the boundaries of election precincts. In like manner, voting precincts must be drawn so that their total populations shall be reasonably equal on the basis of the most recent federal decennial census, but the Council may take into consideration con- venience of the voters in so drawing precincts. See Section 49.5 of the 1975 Code of Iowa. The mandates to create three council districts of substantially equal population and to create voting precincts of substantially equal population cannot be reconciled unless the voting precincts are of a total Mayor and City Council April 1, 1975 Page Three number divisible by three. Given the fact that our present voting precincts have approximate populations of 1, 800 to 1, 900 persons each, to do otherwise would mean that one of the three council districts would have that number of persons more than the other two. It therefore seems to me inevitable that the Council will at some point have to reprecinct the city in order to change the number of voting precincts. It may, however, not be necessary to reprecinct the city at this point in time. Officials of the Community Development Department -have informed me that the population changes that have taken place in Iowa City within the last few years may make it possible to create three council districts of equal population using the present twenty-five precincts. By following this course of action the Council would be, in effect, deferring the necessity for reprecincting until the next decennial census in -1980. To summarize, it will be necessary for the City Council in the immediate future to create three council districts by ordinance for the - coming election this November. Secondly, ;it will at some point be neces- sary for the City Council to reprecinct the city to provide for a number of voting precincts divisible by three. The precincts can be redrawn now or that action deferred until a later date assuming that existing precincts have populations which would permit the necessary division. The decision as to which course to follow involves policy considerations which must be decided by the Council. Because of the obvious interest of the Republican and Democratic parties in the Council's decision on this issue I have taken the liberty of sending a copy of this letter to the respective chairpersons of those political parties for their information.

Last year Mr. Fischer approached both the City Manager and the City Council and presented a program to them for controlling mosquitos. The estimated cost for the program last year was $21,000:- The presentation was made by Clarke Outdoor Spraying Co of LaGrange Illinois. The Council last year decided not to implement this program. Because mosquito control is a possible public health hazard, Mr. Fischer must approach the Council from a public health standpoint. Accord- ing to Mr. Fischer, the program should be sold as a nuisance control program. I a=ked Mr. Fischer what type of minimum program would be sufficient for Iowa City. According to Mr. Fischer, two larvacidings (granular dropping by heliocopter in identified breeding areas) in the early spring and later 4 _ in the summer plus three adultacidings (ground fogging of live, flying adult mosquitos) on three separate occasions would be sufficient for Iowa City. He indicated the larvacidings should start sometime during the 6 middle of May and the adultacidings should start during the latter part of I May. The estimated cost of this mosquito program is approximately $12,000 to $15,000. If the Council should decide to implement this program, the funding for itwouldcome out of the Environmental Protection Fund, under the sanitation function. In considering this program, the Council should remymber that this program is above and beyond the policy level decided upon for delivery of services during FY 1976 budget deliberations. This is an additional program which would require funding from sources already identified for other purposes. The County is retaining the program again this year. Mr. Fischer in- dicated to me that Marion, Bettendorf and Des Moines were cities which had implemented this program. If you would like, I can contact these cities and get information from them regarding this program. 9 I jj i -- - WILL J. HAYEK JOHN W. HAYEK C. PETER HAYEK HAYEK. HAYEK a HAYEK -. ARE.

March 31, 1975 The IIonorable Mayor and City Council of Iowa City Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Re: Della Grizel Letter Concerning Ralston Creek Neighborhood Coordinating Committee - - Mayor and Council Members: At your request I have reviewed the letter of Ms. Della A. Grizel, 1530 Sheridan Avenue, concerning the Ralston Creek Neighbor- hood Coordinating Committee. I am sending a copy of this letter to Ms. Grizel for her information also. If you will recall, the Ralston Creek Committee was discussed in a memorandum from Carol deProsse to the Council dated February 18, 1975. in a letter to the City Council of March 12, 1975, Ms. Grizel raises several questions which I will attempt to answer in the order in which they appear in the letter. My response to those questions is as follows: 1. Was the drawing up of the 5 -point proposal a violation of the open meetings lav? I do not believe that meetings of this Committee are covered by Chapter 28A of the Code of Iowa. The open meetings statute does 'apply `to committees created by the City Council. Since this Committee was not created by the City Council, I do not believe the statute applies. 2. May City Council members be members of a citizens' advisory committee? I am not aware of any ordinance that either permits or prohibits Council members from being members of a committee of this sort. It would be my view that there is nothing which would prohibit such membership and participation by members of the City - Council in their individual capacities. 3. Must meetings be scheduled in advance with the Clerk, Honorable Mayor and City Council of Iowa City - 2 - March 31, 1975 held in Council chambers and the like? My answer to this question is similar to the answer to Question 1 above. Since I do not believe the open meetings law covers meetings - - of an ad hoc citizens committee of this sort, I do not believe that any of the requirements outlined in Question 3 would apply. 4. Is there a violation in appointing members to the Committee - from a small area of the city rather than a city-wide areal Again, since I regard this Committee as an ad hoc citizens committee not created by the City Council but rather created by interested citizens, I do not believe any violation occurs. - I believe the situation would be somewhat different if this were in fact a commission or board created by the City Council. 5. , 6. , 7. The responses above I believe cover these three questions. As I understand the February 18th proposal, the Coordinating Committee would not select the consultant for any city-wide comprehensive water management plan. Basically, I understand that the Ralston Creek Coordinating Committee is a citizens' advisory committee much as is C. B. I. C. and other similar groups. As such it does not have any official status under the ordinances of the City of Iowa City. Therefore the provisions of the open meetings statute would not apply. In this regard, you may have recently read of a decision in Polk County District Court covering a similar type of committee and of efforts by some in the legislature to have amendments to the open meetings law enacted which would change this. With respect to the employment of a consultant, it is my opinion that the authority to employ a_consultant is vested with the City Manager and the City Council. Having, of course, said that does not mean that they may not seek advice from interested citizens groups and others. Respectfully submitted, Jon W.

IOWA 52240 March 27, 1975 The Honorable Mayor and City Council of Iowa City Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Re: Joint Law En-forcement Study Committee Mayor and Council Members: Recently you requested an opinion from me concerning the legal status of the Joint Law Enforcement Study Committee. This opinion was in connection with questions raised by Councilmember requested Neuhauser. The Committee consists of representatives of the City, Johnson County, the University, and Coralville, The City's authorization to participate in the Committee is contained inResolutionNo. 74-520 in which the City agreed to cooperate in the development and conduct of a feasibility study and to participate in "an interjurisdictional committee" - to coordinate the project. The resolution further authorized that $1, 754 be provided during calendar year 1974/1975 for the project. Johnson County adopted a similar resolution on November 19, 1974. Although the Committee does receive staff assistance from the Regional Planning Commission and has some informal, ties to that Commission, it is not a regular committee of the Commission. It is in the nature of an ad hoc committee created by the joint participation of the governmental units involved. It therefore does not have a separate legal status as would an agency created under Chapter 28E of the Code of Iowa. For that reason it does not, in my opinion, have the power to enter into contracts or to receive and disburse public funds., The Committee certainly does not have the authority to contract on behalf of the City of Iowa City. That power can be exercised only by the City Council of Iowa City absent a formal Chapter 28E agreement of some sort. With reE-pect to the architectural contract involved, it is my understanding that the Board of Supervisors of Johnson County has or will Honorable Mayor and City Council of Iowa City 2 \March 27, 1975 be entering into the architectural contract. Iowa City will not be asked to enter into this contract. Presumably the funds appropriated by Resolution No. 74-520 would subsequently be paid over to the County to be applied on the contract or would be paid directly to the architect. I would think that any payments that would be made directly to the architect should be made on the basis of written confirmation from the County that the work in question has in fact been performed. In the future, it would seem to me advisable to specifically outline, in writing, the duties and responsibilities of committees of this sort and further outline, in writing, the authority by which funds will be expended. I hope that this report answers the questions that were raised. I will be happy to discuss this with you further if you wish. JWIi:vb cc: Mr. J.

This letter should be kept permanently on file in your office for reference purposes. My previous letter to you of December 12, 1974, designating Mr. Mark Doolin is hereby revoked. I designate Ms. Candy Morgan, the City Human Relations Coordinator, as thepersonwho is authorized to make investigations pursuant to Chapter 10. 2 of the City Code. Ms. Morgan's reports on her investigations, which should be in writing, should be referred to Mr. Robert Bowlin of my office for concurrence in the determination of probable cause or no probable cause. If Mr. Bowlin concurs in the probable cause finding, thereportshould be considered as afinding of probable cause by the City Attorney. If Mr. Bowlin does not concur in the finding, the report should be considered as a finding of no probable cause by the City Attorney and the Commission may proceed to make its own determination as set forth in Section 10. 2, 16 of the City Code. As indicated before, I believe that the above procedure is appropriate in ' light of the employment of the Human Relations Coordinator by the City. - However, because the finding of probable cause/no probable cause is a City of Iowa City - 2 - _ March 31, 1975 quasi-judicial determination having serious implications, it seems to me that it should have input from the City Attorney's office as required by our ordinance. _ _ _ - _ _ Respectfully submitted, <5n Hayek JWH:vb:18 cc: Mr. Robert Bowlin, Assistant City Attorney Ms. Candy Morgan, Human Relations Coordinator Mr. Neal Berlin, City Manager Ms. Mori Costantino, Chairperson, Human Relations Commission ■ east central iowa 0_0 0 association of regional planning commissions 00 March 1975 DEADLINE APPROACNF.S Within the nextfourmonths officials representing over 50% of Iowa's population will have to make arrangements to come into compliance with the July 1, 1975, deadline for acceptable means of solid waste_ disposal. While this may not seem like much time the law which required the establishment of sanitary disposal projects was adopted in May of 1970. Fifty-one sites have been issued permits, 45 of the sites being sanitary landfills. These permitted sites serve 47% of the citizens of Iowa.

At present this is primarily an identification of needs within the region. There is no guarantee of an allocation.

N-1 Mayor ATTEST: &i,4. own Clerk IOWA CITY, 1014A, AND UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, IOWA PROVISION FOR MUNICIPAL SERVICES Basic Principles 1. The net amount levied as taxes on real estate (house and/or lot) in University Heights, Iowa, should be the same as the net amount levied as taxes on real estate (house and/or lot) in Iowa City, Iowa, for those services provided. 2. The following funds should be eliminated from consideration: General: Each municipality incurs expenses which are provided for by this fund, and each municipality should levy taxes to provide for such e eases. Road Use Tax: Each municipality receives its own pro rata share which is based on its population. Liquor Profit: Each municipality receives its own pro rata share which is based on its population. 3, In that Street is so closely related to Road Use Tax, consideration should be given to the elimination of General, Street, Road Use Tax, and Liquor Profit Funds from consideration. 3 _ 4. A loading to be added to the net amount levied as taxes should reduce to zero as all reasonable services are used by University Heights, Iowa. The loading formula might be of the type: L = k (1-000 - f O where f = Fraction of Services Purchased; L = Loading to be Added; and k = A Factor to be determined by Mutual Agreement of the Councils. _ For example, if all services are used except those listed in Item 3, then the loading would reduce to zero. 5. In determining the levies as taxes for those funds under consideration the Amount to be Raised by Taxation should be levied over the combined Taxable Valuation of Iowa City, Iowa, and University Heights, Iowa, with adjustment being made for any additional amount charged to all customers and users in University Heights, Iowa, to defray expense of property taxes in University Heights, Iowa.* (Please see November 1961 - November 1991 contract re water services and extension of water services.) Credit on Utilities, if such :services are taken, could be given University Heights, -Iowa, -for amount charged -- - — -- property owners and/or users. 6. If the services of the Iowa City Public Library are purchased by University Heights, Iowa, then University Heights, Iowa, should make a contribution (via Debt Service) to Iowa City, Iowa, for each year the services are purchased, for amortization of the cost of the building over a long period of time, since the Library has-been built and/or essentially completely renovated recently. 7. If the services of the Iowa City Recreation Center are purchar�d, by University Heights, Iowa, then University Heights, Iowa, should make a contribution (via Debt Service) to Iowa City, Iowa, for each year the services are purchased, for amortization of the cost of the building and initial, equipment_ over a__1_ong period of time, since the Recreation Center has been built recently. 8. If the services of the Iowa City Fire Department are purchased by University Heights, Iowa, then University 'Heights, Iowa, should make no further contribution (via Debt Service) for each year the services are purchased, since University Heights, Iowa, has for several years contributed to depreciation of the equipment. 9. Th_re should be a reasonably long term contract with automatic extensions. Term of contract should be at 'least as long as the effective j;ec-iu if eanh (9nngil, por example, tho contract might euutLnue autunw 4Ldal.ly through December 31. OF eaeh ca[Frri dar year unless the Council of either municipality advises ■ ■ ■ the Council of the other municipality in writing on or before January 31 or the previous calendar year. (Por term of contract longer than effective t term of each Council, please see procedures set out in November 1961 November 1991 contract re water services --and -extension 'of - - `- water services.) 10. Contract may be altered, changed, modified, terminated, or reinstated < by mutual agreement of the Councils of each municipality. payment for Services - 1. Payments shall be made at end of each quarter. 2. Any adjustments shall be determined at end of each calendar year and shall be made during the succeeding calendar year unless contract is terminated in which case any adjustments shall be made within ninety days after termination of contract, Miscellaneous 1. In that a large portion of personal expenditures of citizens in - University Heights, Iowa, is spent in Iowa City, Iowa, only Tax Receipts should be under consideration, (The citizens of University Heights, Iowa, probably contribute at least as much per capita to Office Receipts and Other Receipts in the City of Iowa, City, Iowa, as do the citizens of Iowa City, Iowa.) 2.

Committee - -_ Town of University Heights 415 Koser Avenue - Iowa City, Iowa 52240 - - - -- - ' Dear Mr. Rhodes: on Thursday, March 27, 1975, a meeting has been scheduled between the City - Council's of Iowa City and University: Heights for the ,purpose 'ofdiscussing subjects of mutual interest. For some time now we have been discussing the re- t. negotiation of the service agreement between the two communities and I assume this will be an appropriate subject for discussion on Thursday. Asaresult, _ I am enclosing with this letter a draft of a proposed agreement as per our last _meeting on February 5, 1975, and have -provided:sufficient -copies for distribution to your committee and Council. Consistent with discussions at our last meeting the following will enumerate what we consider to be the major changes between this proposed agreement .and the one now in existence and the reasonsforsame:... - -- - 1. The new City Code of Iowa, specifically Iowa Code.. Chapter 364 and _. divisions thereof, has modified the manner in which City's are _ required to account for the expenditure and receipt of funds. Iowa City completed that modification as of January 1, 1974 and the service agreement with University Heights should be modified accordingly. In .order to facilitate this transition we have accepted payments over _ the last 15 months on the same basis and in the same amount as existed in 7.973, even though taxes received byIowa City have been allocated - into a Program Budget format. 2. The contract now in force was predicated on the principle that only _ tax receipts should be used in the calculation of payment inasmuch as a large portion of other Fund receipts were contributed by citizens of University Heights to Iowa City. However, .this ..calculation is. no - longer realistic at a time when property tax slakes up only about 50% - - of Iowa City resources allocated to providing services, and especially when the calculation only relates to tax effort and not to the cost of providing the service. Therefore, _the -proposed agreement applies _--- the current assessed value ratio calculation to expenditures for services, not t>,x effort, and adjusts_ the,expenditure level toreflectc•.rtain rm•r,ilc;: p,eid hy. Jitirtms of hath c.rrrununit=i.r_:; on an equal h%,cis, rirr - _ I:"c•,•L LhaL Lhle: u1,�thrirl of ealc111;11 i.on inoCr_ ai>i+rtii,rTaCel.y /e`1� `; ✓-' _._._.-2- first Basic 2•-firstBasic Principle agreed .upon in 1966 that "the net amount levied -_- as taxes on,real estate (house -and/or lot) in. University Heights, Iowa, should be the same as the net. amount levied-astaxes on real estate - (house and/or lot; in Iowa City.... 11- 3. The statement of Basic Principles stated clearly that University Heights would make pay -tent via the Debt Service Pund for.the cost incurred for facilities constructed to provide services included in the contract. The actual contract eliminated payments toward debt service and we propose that the new agreement include same as reasonable and proper - charges. 4. Administrative costs are not included in the current agreement -ad we can appreciate the advantage to University Heights in not being requiredto stand thecostof administrative overhead. However, the City of Iowa City cannot provide services without incurring such costs -- and we are proposing that UniversityHeights-support expenditures in the Administrative Program on thesamebasis as the other Programs covered by this agreement. 5. The proposed contract provides a payment schedule and penalities for late payment. It is indeed unfortunate that such a provision - is necessary. However, continued failure by University Heights - to adhere to the payment schedule in the current contract over the years requires that some protection be given Iowa City for the added cost of carrying deL.inquent payments. At the present time $3,937.93 remains unpaid from 1974, and $21,500 has been received against the $41,642.75 due for the first six months of 1975. 6. This proposal requires a much closer relationship between thebuildingand law enforcement ordinances of the two communities in order that employees o£ Iowa City can apply a continuity of.Service and the same protective covenant equally and fairly to citizens of both - - . _. communities. _... I trust the foregoing will be of help to you in evaluating your position in this relationship. We feel the changes in the contract are fair and equitable to the citizens of Iowa City and in keeping with the .Basic Principles approved by bot't communities in 1966. The inclusion of these changes_ - u•�i.11 probably require that University Heights make use of resources beyond property tax such as General Revenue Sharing, I,iquor Profits, and State Municipal- Assistance. .. They s:,ould also preclude University Heights from continuing tomanagea - tax rate lower than that .imposed upon property owners in-Io:wa City which is certainly part of our ob ective in this proposal. We await- your reactionr, and we loo: forward to a productive discussion on Thursday. Sincerely, a?, _. - - Department of.

This action was also approved by the City Council at that time. During and subsequent to this action, there was a considerable amount of public pressure against the draining of the lake and the subdividing of this property. The lake was drained, however, no construction ever occurred on this site. Since that time, the property was sold to another group of individuals who have indicated their intention of constructing fewer apartment units than were proposed under the Thompson submission, and of restoring the lake. Initial contact was made with the Planning and Zoning commission, however, no formal submission has been received on this new _ proposal. In summary, future action, i.e., the development of this project, will be dependent upon action being initiated by the owners of the property.

These reserves are accumulated each year for the purpose of providing security for revenue bonds - >, outstanding and to provide funds for certain call provisions in the revenue �.. bond ordinance. As a result of our request for tenders $205,000 in par value bonds were tendered on March 4, 1975, of which we accepted $113,000 at an average price of 95.845.

The answer to this question lies more with - what type_ of ordinance it isand-inwhat way does it affect the landlord tenant relationship. As stated in 364.1 of the Code of Iowa, 1975, a municipality cannot- - -- enact an ordinance which-sole'purposeistoaffect the -landlord -tenant Tela- -- -_ tionship. Examples of ordinances of this type would be requiring certain - prov.isionsinthe lease, -or-require leasehold interests to be written. Such ordinancescould create different laws in different municipalities the end product of which would result in a chaotic and disarrayed system of laws. Rent control is another_ type. of ordinance that has a bearing upon the. •landlord-tenant relationship._ There isan'argument that even though it - - directly affects a principal aspect of the landlord -tenant relationship it is incident to an exercise of an independent municipal power. This indepen— dent municipal power is to provide for the general welfare by providing -- shelterat a reasonable cost.8 Courts have reacted tothisargument with little unanimity. Some courts have recognizedthis argumentand construed the municipality's general police powers broadly and thus upheld such ordi- nances.9 Others have held that rent control is a landlord -tenant concern -- hence a civil relationship, hence a statewide concern and that there is a serious intervention in such a relationship and thus the general police powers do not include the power to control_rents.l0 The divergence of these views shows that a municipality's power to control rents varies from state to state depending upon the home rule grant and the judicial interpretation of that grant. .In Massachusetts, the home -rule grant is similar to Iowa's i.nthat it grants municipalities broad powers with the exception to private law governing civil relationships unless incident to some independent municipal power. In a court case testing whether a municipality possesses power to control. rents- as -part of a broadly_ construed general. welfare power, the court ruled that it has no such power.11 The court stated that rent control is an objective in itself designed to keep rents at reasonable levels. It construed general welfare narrowly stating that itis- a contradiction to state that an ordinance, the principal objective of which is to control rent, is also merely incidental to the exercise of an indepen- dent municipal power to control rents.12 Looking atthis case it seems that - _..... there is precedent for aruling that without a specific grant from the legislature, the enactment is not within home rule. - Besides the private law exception, there may be other difficulties a -rent control ordinance may encounter. __As::the-Constitutional..7unendment.and _s::.364.1 -- point out, cities are granted broad powers to enact ordinances governing local concerns. The issue of whether rent control is a statewide concern can be raised. Regulations of rent in one community may have impact elsewhere -oa- land use, new housing construction, the mortgage market and other similar - _matters. This may certainly be an area for the Legislature ifitdeals with - rent control to impose general restrictions and conditions on local rent - control.

John Hayek -3_ •� March 28, 1975 If rent control is not within a municipality's power, is there any area which may directly or indirectlyaffectthe-landlord-tenant relationship_ which is a valid exercise of power under home rule. Case law and legal commentators seem to agree that municipalities can intervene in the landlord -tenant area - to enforce housing codes.13 Municipal ordinances providing for rent -withholding where the landlord fails to maintain the premises as required by housing codes, or ordinances prohibiting retaliator/ evictions for the reporting of housing code violations are possible steps that Iowa municipalities can take. The courts have indi- cated that they may be receptive to ordinances enacted in resoonse to this problem. In Mease v_ Fox the courts have stated that rent is not collectible - in cases where the premises rented are not ha.14 bitablein other cases a landlord was prohibited from evicting a tenant for reporting housing codes to the authorities•15 By stating that a tenant can withhold sent and prohibiting` retalitory-evictions, the. courts have indicated theirrecognition of the need +' _ for more effective remedies to reduce housing code violations. Since housing codes are enacted to protect the occupants against injury from fire, badly lighted hallways, and, similar hazards they are within a municipality's police powers for the protection of the public health and safety. The incursion into the civil relationship of the landlord -tenant can be seen as incidental to a more effective enforcement of the housing code. 1 Home Rule: A Solution for tdunicipal Problems, 16 1•7yo. s.J. 47, 52 (1961)• art 11, 9 3, Ore.
