Item No. 8 CONSIDER RESOLUTION PROHIBITING PARKING. ON 7ME,NORTII SIDE OF IOWA
AVENUE FROM VAN BUREN FAST .160.FEET AND PROHIBITINGPARKING ON THE
— y flt9 PAST SIDE OF VAN BUREN FROM IOWA NORTH 150 -FEET.
Comment: The University of Iowa Credit Union has built a new parking lot
adjacent to their new facilities and they are requesting that
parking be removed to aid sight distance and safety in the vicinity
of the parking lot and at the intersection of :Van Buren and Iowa.
Public Works has investigated the situation and agrees that it would
be a good idea to remove parking from a safety standpoint; however,
there is a heavy • parking demand in the area. The Credit Union countered this by stating they have removed much of the parking
demand by removal of the apartment houses, that were on the site and
in addition have built a large parking; lot.
Public Works is not able to offer a firm recommendation.

Item No. 9 '- CONSIDER MOTION CHANGING LANDFILL CLOSING HOURS FROM 6:00 P.M. TO
5:00 P.M. DURING RE WINTER.
Comment:- Public Works wishes to change the closing hour at the Landfill to
5:00 P.M. during the winter months due.to the fact that we are
operating in complete darkness during the last hour of operation.
This is dangerous to both the Landfill operators and users, and we
do want to start closing at 5:00-P:M. during the period when we are
off of Daylight Saving Time from now to; Spring of 1976
This earlier closing will create problems for at least one of the
refuse haulers and, while we are aware of this, we feel that operating
in darkness simply cannot be justified from a safety standpoint. Notice
has been sent to Iowa City refuse -haulers concerning this motion.

Department heads will be required to be specific about their goals and objectives
for this fiscal year. Program descriptions should include.a-.goal of the particular

may be included in your budget. Specific identifiable objectives should be
utilized to obtain your goals. Page 8 and 9 of the Budgeting Manual lists defini-
tions of goals and objectives.
A review of the financial conditions indicated that State and Federal revenues for
the next fiscal period would be decreasing. Four areas outlined that would decrease
are property taxes, Federal _revenue ,sharing, State municipal assistance funds and
Federal Title XX funds. Departments should realize that some shifts, may be necessary.
Priorities must be established and programs over the last few years may not 'be'funded.
Tho staff was encouraged to be imaginative in_thinking 'of alternative programming.
'Ibc Council will meet informally Tuesday afternoon, November 25, to continue the
discussion of the current financial condition. Approximately $400,000 of programs
have been added since the last budgeting cycle. The Finance Department projects
that we are below the current balance necessary to operate.

The staff is encouraged to contact the Finance Department for additional copies.
Classification detail will be helpful for. the Council-and staff to identify
programs that are needed. The cumulative data on the October budgeting_ report
should be checked to determine if deviations have occurred from the budget. If
- increases are necessary in one area of your budget, you might be able to suggest
an area to decrease. If you can't identify areas, the Finance_ Department should
be called and they will help you to determine where budgeting cuts may be necessary. `
The CIP runs parallel to the budgeting cycle and has not changed significantly from
the last two years. A mandatory review of programs and Cost estimates will be up-
dated. If. you do not recommend programs in the CIP, provide: the details of iffy
