UA Y Sectary
of discussion N formal action taken: •
I. Jim Swaim asked for approval of certain expenditures which he deemed
necessary for the month of June.
Approval by the board was given for:
Repair of cassete tape recorder
Past due utilities in the amount of $210.00 due the Friends Meeting.
Post Office Box and $50.00 in stamps
$50.00'toward books for the Youth library
Subscriptions to F.P.S. and East-West Journal -- approximately $13.00
Juvenile Justice Assoc. membership- 25.00
Office supplies- after discussion Linda Schreiber offered to aid Jim in
obtaining these throughthe City supply to be covered by our city account.
Desk lamps for the office and reading lamps for the library -were authorized.
Balance of expenses due on the Frisbee tournament held in City Park were
authorized.
In other expenditures applied for the board authorized certain members
to report back on the possibility of purchasing an electric typewriter,
a new office desk and innertubes.
Jeff Schabilion proposed and Leisa Fearing seconded a motion to pay Jim
Swaims tuition in the amount of $180.00 for classes he is currently taking
in the University. This amount is to come from the Staff Improvement Account.
Larry Schmidt asked for authorization and monetary support for a proposed
canoe trip, with six youth and one other staff person for July, unanimous
approval.
2. A good share of the meeting was devoted to discussion of the proposed
contract with the city, as presented by Linda Schreiber. Thoughts were
shared on the proposed accounting system which was shown as vulnerable
in the Board's opinion. Tom Mikelson pointed out the fact that he was
not sure we should have to give the city the power to oversee all our
funds when the contract called for them to pay only salaries and the other
monies were to be received from other sources. Linda pointed out that the
city has the right to oversee and have feed back from any funded organization.
Jim Swaim mentioned that Tom Eilers could fulfill the accounting needs and
submit a report to the city on a monthly basis, that all expenditures should
and would go through the UAY Board of Directors for approval.
After much discussion Linda Schreiber said she would tranmit the Board's
viewpoint to Mr. Berlin and would get back to Tom within the next two days
with their revisions.
3. Jim Swaim mentioned that he would like to close the office for two wee4s
in August to insure the staff a vacation, He had cleared this through
Social Services who assured him they would provide a back-up in cases of
emergency. Unanimously approved.
4. MarLarew had brought UD the question of liability ipsurance and Tom
and yim felt that by having a waiver slip signed by all parents UAY would
free of liability in the event of an accident. This trill be done com-
mencing in the fall.
5. Larry Schmidt has been invited to attend the IDAA drug workshop in Des
Moines the last trei:s in June, all expenses paid. He will receive certi-
fication as a drug counselor.
6. Due to the fact that Virginia Maurer has not become a board member as yet
the committee report onthe revision of by=laws and personnel policies has
been postponed until July.

Youth Homes, Incorporated, is .presently exploring the pos-
CL of opening a Boys' Group.Home in Iowa City. An LEAA
grant has been prepared and is awaiting final approval from
the Iowa Crime Commission. It has alreadyreceived the
approval of the Eastern Iowa Area Crime Commission, and the
Johnson County Board of Supervisors has agreed to provide the
necessary matching funds. The LEAH grant will be used to
equip the home and begin its operation. When the LEAA grant
expires, Youth Homes will add the Boys' Group Home to its
contract with the Department of Social Services.
y (continued on Page 2)

The present plan is for the Boys' Group Home to have live-in house -
parents with a weekend relief staff. .We are assuming a capacity of
six boys, ages 14 through 17. The`goal', similar to that of the.Girls'
Group Home, will be to aid the residents in developing the necessary:
skills to return home, go to an alternate living.arrangement, or move
into independent living. The houseparents will provide counseling
on both daily problems and long-range problems.and/or goals.
Youth Homes also plans to hire a social worker to do therapeutic
casework at both the Boys' Group Home; and the Girls' Group Home in i
conjunction with this grant proposal.
Our immediate need is for any lead on a large house available for rent'
and zoned appropriately for a Boys' Group Home. If you have any
ideas, please call me at 337-4523.

PEER FACILITATORS PROGRAM by Sue we6tehman, City High Coun6ekot
The counselors at City High School - Frank•Carthey, Dan Zioberek, and
Sue Westerman - will be starting a new program this fall which is
designed to train and supervise students as facilitators of the
career explorations of their peers. The goal of this program is to
meet the need, most pressing to a majority of youth as'.expressed by
our students, the need for more help in exploring -and choosing careers.
The intent of the new system is to expand and increase career counseling
services by utilizing student facilitators, and to provide a unique
opportunity for students to learn and practice helping skills such as
decision-making strategies, career exploratory procedures, and values
clarification techniques. '
Approximately 12 to 15 students will be selected from volunteers each
trimester for the program. After 18 to 24 hours of training by the
regular counselors, the students will perform such tasks as speaking
with individuals and groups of students on -request about progress in
their career development, providing research assistance in the media
center, and staffing the career center throughout the school day.
Participation in the program is designed to give students a chance
for personal career growth as well as for learningskills, interacting
more positively with their peers, and possibly receiving some academic
credit. Also, students who utilize the peer facilitators will have
increased and enhanced opportunities for career exploration and
development.
YOUTH SPEAKS
Poem6 by Diane Denn,fi6
PAIN
I was happy, walking
the
hall
when all at once I felt it --
small at first
and then it seemed
like it was ALL OVER My Head
pounding until I couldn't concentrate.
What caused the pain
which was so intense? .
It seemed as if something had hold of me --
and wouldn't let go.
Temples pulses head
pounding, beating, throbbing,
I think I had a headache!
I'm sure that I had a headache!
-3-
Yesterday.
Ah yes, I remember it very clearly.
It was the day I realized what was happening,
What was really going on.
What caused me to relize what -I
was becoming?
Why did I follow the rules for all these years?
Just yesterday I found out I was being
tought lies.
How come I didn't wonder about anything I had
been told?
Does it come to kids in their teens?
I was given no ideas of my own.
I wasn't even given a chance to live
my own life.
As I grew, I began to question everything.
I was given no answer.
No one satisfied my thoughts by
explaining things to me.
They thought I'd forget the things they wouldn't
teach me.
They thought I'd forget about my dreams.
But I haven't forgotten anything.
I still have the same dreams and:thoughts,.
But this time my thoughts and dreams are going
to start making themselves known.
Society might be shocked at the change
that is taking place within me.
I'm not shocked, I could feel it coming.
I tried to let people know but they thought
I was just pulling their leg.
I guess I'm learning about a whole new life.
This new life of mine is my own happiness.
SOMETIMES
Sometimes I like to be alone.
When I'm alone I open up.
I let the sun shine through me.
Sometimes I'm in my room
With
io turned on.
The music seemsate
o pourthrough me.
It carries my thoughts
like a piece of paper_blowin' in the wind.
As the music moved me
I feel like singing out,
But when:the music stops
I feel left alone
in such a big world.
Alone in such a gigantic world.

SPORTS --now in its third consecutive year --is a three-week outdoor living
and learning experience for junior high age boys and girls from Iowa
City and environs. The participants in SPORTS are recruited on the
basis of three main selection criteria: evidence of problems with low
self-esteem, poor peer relations, certain learning disabilities, or a
combination of these and other behavior problems.
Three such programs having 8-10 participants in each group are being
offered according to the following schedule:
Group I for Boys
Training: June 7-18
Trip: June 21-25 Canoeing camp -out on Upper Iowa River
Group II for Boys
Training: July 19-30
Trip: August 2-6 Canoeing camp -out on Upper Iowa River
Group III for Girls
Training: June 28 -July 9
Trip: July 12-16 canoeing camp -out on Iowa River from Iowa City
to New Boston, Illinois
Recruitment for both boys' and girls' groups has been completed for
summer 176.
Examples of skills and talents to be developed in the program include:
1. Canoeing;
2. Swimming;
3. Cooking;
4. Emergency first-aid;
5. Physical fitness;
6. Mountaineering;
7. Rock climbing;
8. Orienteering;
9. Other skills related to outdoor living.
The first two weeks of training concentrate on promoting outdoor living
skills, physical conditioning, and teamwork, while theithird..week employs
these skills in a five-day cmmpiaig trip away from home. Broader goals
center on providing a unique outdoor living experience which will enable
the boys and girls to develop more self-confidence, increase skills in
working and living with others, and provide constructive experiences
which can be used in leisure time.
The working concept behind SPORTS has evolved from an effort to incorporate
certain fundamental attitudes and techniques of Outward Bound training
camps located in five separate areas of the United States..;.Dr. Kurt Hahn,
Q'�
0 •
a German educator, conceived the idea of Outward Bound to counter
the problems that he saw developing among young people in Europe. The
essence of his idea and that of SPORTS is that boys and girls have to
learn for themselves what they are capable of accomplishing physically,
emotionally, and spiritually. In Outward Bound programs, young people
push themselves to their limits as they meet tough physical and mental
challenges such as mountaineering and survival in the wilderness, and
l.
s in SRTS are nt

Limits.
Many young people in Outward Bound sessions are said to have grown
personally in these programs and there have been reports that delinquents
and disadvantaged teen-agers from ghettos have been helped. In SPORTS,
the circumstances and expertise are provided for the chi U to discover
what his capabilities and limits are. In almost all cases, the child
finds that his capabilities exceed his own expectations of himself.
The staff supervising this prograde consist of highly qualified men and
women with many years of experience working with youths in recreation
programs. Many have themselves attended Outward Bound training camps
in different areas of the United States :n o:der to convey this
Philosophy from first-hand experience.

Police ExpQon.eh Poa-t by David MontgomeAy
In the late fall of 1973, the Director of Exploring for the Hawkeye
Area Council came to the Chief of the Iowa City Police Department and
asked him Jf the department would sponser a law enforcement post. In
November of 1973, the Ioa City Police Explorer.Post #222 was formed.
The goal of Exploring is to let young adults investigate professions
before they must decide what profession they will work in. The purpose
of the Ioa City Police Explorer Post (I.C.P.E.) is to develop a better
de
part-
ment.
W chieveof tthishe uties goal bydattendinges of a cla sesmtaughtab police depart -
and work with the police on the street and in .the station. PThe cclasses
ers
include learning procedures involving communications, photography, finger-
printing, arrest and booking, traffic control, crowd;control; weaponry,
report writing, patrolling, first aid, and testifying in:court. In
the station, Explorers file reports, answer telephones, take complaints,
operate the tracis machine and dispatch patrol cars`on-the radio. In
the past, Explorers have assisted police officers in directing traffic,
investigating crime scenes and traffic accidents.

The Post also works at its own activities, Every Saturday, an Explorer
Iowa City,
directs traffic at the First National Towncrest Bank in
Past events have included working at the Johnson
the State Fair in Des Moines. County Iowa
Fair and
Recreational activities are also included in thefunctions. of the Post.
We camp out in state and local parks, organize swimming events and com-
pete annually in the Explorer Sumner and Winter Olympics held in Cedar
Rapids and Duluth, Minnesota.
The requirements for becoming a member of the Post are few. The person,
male or female, must be between the ages of 14 and 21, have some spare
time to give up freely without pay and have an interest in law enforce-
ment. The Post asks a lot from each member and gives little in return
except in the knowledge that we provide a needed service-to.the community.
The Police Explorer Post #222 meets on the second and fourth: Tuesday of
every month at 7:00 p.m. in the squad room of the Police Station. We
always welcome people who may be -interested in becoming members of the
Post and invite them to attend the meetings.

myself, Margaret (Mardi) Cooper, as the Administrative Director under
the direction of a community Board of Directors:, Wayne Johnson, president;
Faith Knowler, vice president; Ruth Bonfiglio, secretary; and Judy Sueppel,
treasurer; plus other involved citizens. Youth Homes has a purchase of
service contract with the Department of Social Services which provides
for the basic financing of both facilities through reimbursement for each
resident,
The Youth Emergency Shelter provides temporary placement of less than
thirty (30) days:for adolescents in crisis (boys and girls,; ages 12 to 18).
The adolescents .n crisis may: be runaways, adolescents in serious con-
flict with their family, foster home, or group home,abused-youth,
delinquent youth, etc. Placement can be made at any time.during the
day or night, but requires the authorization of the Department of Social

Dear President Boyd:
0 '�-11
On July 22, 1975, the City Council of the City of Iowa City enacted
ordinance No. 75-2774 which went into effect on August 1, 1975. The
ordinance, a copy of which is attached to this letter, provides for a
revision in the sewer rate charges from a percentage of the water bill
to a flat sun per unit of water consumed.
Because the agreement between the University and the City concerning
the collection and treatment of sewage is predicated on the fact that
the University is to be charged the same percentage as other customers
inside the city limits and since the percentage basis is no longer in
effect, the City deems the applicable provisions of the contract relating
to the percentage determinant to be invalid.
Paragraph 4 of the contract states that if the City changes the percentage
on which the sewer service is based or changes the water rate, it shall
give thirty (30) days written notice to the University. Pursuant to this
Paragraph, you are hereby notified that the City of Iowa City has by ordi-
nance changed the City water rates and has made revisions in the sever
charge as so stated in the attached ordinance and by this reference made
a part of this notice. Therefore, beginning August 1, 1976, the rate as
established and set forth in ordinance No. 75-2774 shall be in effect in
the determination of your sewer service fee.
Very truly yours,

TO: City Manager, City Council
FROM, Transit Superintendent
RE: State Transit Assistance
It appears that some confusion exists regarding the state transit
assistance bill. There is a separate federal program administered
by the state titled 16B2. This program is only available to private
non n_ r` ofit corporations. It provides capital and a small amount of
Operating assistance to set up specialized transportation services.
16B2 does require sign -off by all transportation operators in the
affected area that they cannot provide the equivalent service at an
equivalent cost.
There is no relationship between 16B2 and the state transit assis-
tance program. Guidelines for the state program have not been
developed. I.have been appointed to the committee which will help
the Iowa DOT develop these guidelines.
The local agency which receives the state funds will probably be
able to pass those funds on to another agency. It is highly unlikely
that this pass-thru will be mandated. Any interested parties will,
of course, be able to comment on the state guidelines as they are
developed.

FROM: Dennis H. Showalter, Director of Parks $ Recreation
RE: Recycling of Asphalt for City Park Parking Lots
Dick Plastino informs me that the City will have some excess asphalt
from the Kirkwood Avenue street project. -My calculations :indicate
that there is enough asphalt to surface the fire engine parking lot
4" thick using the existing rock surface as base. This ,would be
highly desirable as it would cut down on the dust problem and would
let us conform to our own Code.
There is also enough asphalt to surface the proposed new 32 car
parking lot east of the old maintenance building (north of the
proposed new playground area). Ile would need to haul in 350.tons
of rock for a base 6" thick. Hopefully, we could spend some of the
$3,530 of H.C.D.A. money allocated for this lot for the base rock.
The asphalt for both lots would be spread and rolled by the Street
Department. I understand the Recreation Center parking lot was
built in a similar manner.

RE: Annexation Agreement with the City of Coralville
In December, 1968, the City of Iowa City and the City of Coralville entered
into an annexation agreement. A portion of that agreement related to
establishing boundaries for voluntary annexation of additional land by both
cities.
At a meeting between the Iowa City City Council and the City Council of
Coralville on February 19, 1976, there was discussion of the possibility
of Coralville annexing a portion of land currently in Iowa City which is
adjacent to Cardinal Road. This annexation makes sense primarily because
of the commercial development adjacent to the road which is in Coralville
and the problem with the railroad crossing at that location. Preliminary
documents to accomplish this change have been reviewed by the City Manager
and the City Attorney and returned to the Coralville City Attorney for
final preparation.
In addition, it has been suggested by Iowa City that the annexation agreement
be updated for another ten years and the description of the boundaries, which
will govern voluntary annexation for both cities, be appropriately extended.
It is expected that this agreement will be presented for your consideration at
an early date.

Respected members:
I'm upset, I'd like my sons nam, cleared. His punishment for lack of
+ppetite for a steady diet of profanity and his concern over the undue strain
on a previous leg injury causing him to leave the Police Explorer Post 222
summer academy seems to be a punishment not fully thought out. Although it
was a voluntary activity and he elected to go, I have been informed that in
the upcoming years every member of Post 222 will be required to attend.
Our people young and idealistic join an orginization whose own code
includes a clause saying the dignity of "man" is to be upheld. Then they
disregard this important rule. My son left the academy after medical advice
and attention was denied him for a painful leg injury of previous date agra-
vated by strenous activity. His lack of appetite for a steady diet of profanity
was not appreciated. Perhaps profanity is considered "tough" or "cool" but
not in my home.
As a Parent I thought any organization connected to the Boy Scouts of
America would be admirable. So much for my apathy, my lack of investigation,
Abut you, the Council, support their organization. Are�Ji--,-'c- ing it?

RE:
Explorer Advisor, Iowa City Post 222
Actions Taken by the Iowa City Explorer Post Surrounding
the Activities of Two Explorer Members, Roger Knight
and Glade Cook
On June 3, 1976 the Des Moines Police Explorer
Post held a seven day academy for police explorers at
Camp Dodge in Des Moines. Prior to this date of
June 3, 1976, approximately 8 members of the Iowa
City Explorer Post 222 volunteered and showed
interest that they wanted to attend the seven day
academy in Des Moines.
On two separate occasions prior to the explorers
leaving for the academy, the activities surrounding
the academy were explained in depth to all the members
so that the academy would be no surprise to them once
they arrived. It was further explained to them that the
activities that were involved in the academy were of a
military fashion. It was explained to all the explorers
that the activities would be strenuous for the entire
seven days that they attended. They would be asked to
take part in physical activities that would be strenuous
and also were going to have to conduct themselves, while
at the academy, in a military fashion. This fashion
would be things such as saluting higher ranking officers
Page 2 • •
Letter to City Manager
and also standing at attention for long periods of
time and also keeping their living quarters in a con-
dition so that a white glove inspection could be made
at anytime during their stay at the academy.
June 4, 1976 approximately 24 hours after arriving at the
academy in Des Moines, two members of our explorer post
chose to leave without excuse. The facts surrounding
their leaving are as follows:
An interview with Roger Knight, Assistant Chief
of our explorer post revealed that the reason he left
the academy was because of a knee injury that he had
prior to the academy. The knee injury was discussed
with Roger Knight before leaving for the academy with this
advisor. This advisor was assured by Roger that the knee
injury he had would not cause any problem during physical
activities at the academy. Roger further stated to this
advisor that after arriving at the academy the injury
that he had prior to this was aggravated due to the
physical activities -that the explorers were forced to take
part in. He stated that if he did not take part in the
physical activities he would have been ridiculed by the
other explorers who were attending. He stated that he
had conversation with an explorer Sergeant, who was his
direct supervisor during the academy and that the sergeant
did not see fit or failed to report this injury to his
superior, which would have been Sergeant Breining of the
Page 3 •
Letter to City Manager
Ucs Moines Police Department. Roger further stated that
subsequent to his leaving, he invited another explorer
If our post to join with him in leaving. This explorer
is Glade Cook, who is a patrolman with the Iowa City Police
Explorer Post 222.
June 11, 1976 three advisors from the Iowa City
Police Department attended the graduation ceremony held
at Camp Dodge at 7:00 P.M. in the evening. Prior to
the graduation, this advisor, while accompanied by the other
two advisors, had a conversation with Sgt. Breining of the
Des Moines Police Department, who is the head advisor of
the Des Moines Police Explorer Post and also organizer
and overseer of the entire academy that was held at
Camp Dodge. Sgt. Breining related to me that he became
aware of Roger Knight's knee injury at approximately 4:00
P.M. on June 4, 1976. He was advised by other members that
Roger Knight and Glade Cook were leaving the academy and saw
fit to talk to the boys before their departure. Roger
explained to Sgt. Breining his aggravated injury and Sgt.
Breining had consented to let Roger take part in the
administrative duties of the academy and would excuse him
from all physical activities throughout the academy.
Sgt. Breining further related that Roger Knight wanted no part
of administrative duties and had chosen to leave the academy.
Sgt. Breining then talked to Glade Cook and asked Glade
if he wanted to be a leader or a follower. Glade stated to
Sgt. Breining that he chose to be a follower and was going

to leave the academy with Roger Knight.
June 22, 1976 the advisory board of the Iowa City
Police Explorer Post 222 held a meeting prior to the
regular scheduled meeting of our post. Present at the
meeting were Frank Burns, Charles Singleman, Linda Crock,
and David Harris. It was decided after our meeting that
we would poll the entire membership of Post 222 in an
attempt to ascertain their feelings surrounding the
disciplinary action that should be taken against the
two explorers. A subsequent vote was taken of all the
members of our post and a second meeting of the advisory
board was held later that evening, June 22nd. It was
decided by the advisory board that the following action
should be taken against the two explorers involved.
Roger Knight, Assistant Chief of Post 222 was demoted to
the rank of patrolman and suspended for a period of 30 days
commencing June 1, 1976, and was also asked to reimburse
Post 222 the $45.00 registration fee for the academy.
Glade Cook, Patrolman with the Iowa City Police
Explorer Post was suspended for a period of 30 days
commencing July 1, 1976 and upon his returning, August
1, 1976, would be under probationary status for a period of
90 days. He was also asked to reimburse Post 222 the
$45.00 registration for the academy.

RE: Rifle Range
The City's risk management consultant expressed significant concern about the
use of the rifle range at the Recreation Center. They felt that this exposure
offered greater liability than virtually any other operation of the City. I
have reviewed the releases and the operating procedures for that program and
concur with their conclusions. There are several major problems, including
the fact that the release may not relieve the City of responsibility, the
City is providing the ammunition, and the program is not supervised. Please
make arrangements within thirty days to phase out this program.

11Te members of the City Council ::hare your concern and desi.re to have
a (lousing for the lilderly Project constructed in downtown Iowa City.
'111is dosire was reaffirmed by the present City Council only last week.
'file Council is also of the opinion that housing for elderly persons
which is located near the downtown area would offer many locational
advantages whicli would not exist in outlying locations. 'Ilse Council
is, however, also of the opinion that some elderly persons would prefer
to live in a quieter outlying location.
The Council has diligently attempted to provide for elderly housing
in doT•:ntown Towa City since 1972. llowever, because of the high cost
of land and construction in Iowa City, as of this time no housing of
this type has been constructed. The Council will continue in its efforts
to obtain close -in housing for elderly and handicapped persons.
The City Co;+ncil also shares your concern for the aced for providing
tr:+nspurtation for elderly and handic:Ipped persons. However, the
Council docs not think that the proposals which have been made
previously by bir. Oxford are consistent with the best interests of
the corununity. 111e City Staff will continue in its attempts to find
a suitable solution to this problem.
Once again, thank you for expressing your opinions to the City Council.

Dear Mr. Anderson:
Thank you for your letter to Mayor Neuhouser relative to Urban
Renewal development in downtown Iowa City.
Urban Renewal funding cannot be used for the purpose of constructing
low income housing, however there are periodically other funds
available which could be used for this purpose. At the present
time the City does have an allocation of 62 units of housing for
the elderly which was to be constructed in the downtown area of
Iowa City, however the recent litigation against Old Capitol
Associates places the status of this project in question as of
this time. The City Council has, however, indicated that they
are in favor of the construction of housing for the elderly and
handicapped in downtown Iowa City and I'm sure they will continue
in their efforts to secure funding for this type of housing.
Federal regulations require that housing for the elderly or
handicapped would be accessible to handicapped persons. More
specifically, the federal minimum property standards mandate
that housing be constructed in this manner.
Because of the limitations on Urban Renewal. funds no renovation
of public or private structures will be financed from Urban Renewal
funds. However, the City Council has allocated several hundred
thousand dollars for the rehabilitation of residential structures ,

and the Council has allocated an additional. one hundred th

Dear Committee Members:
Thank you for your letter to the City Council on the funding
for the City's Urban Renewal project.
The City Council has considered various sources of funding
before deciding to utilize housing and Community Development
Act funds for interim Urban Renewal financing. At such time
as the Urban Renewal land is sold by the City to private
developers, the amount of money that was recently diverted from
the HCDA program for Urban Renewal purposes will then be returned
to the various programs from which it was originally div6rted.
If you have any other ideas relative to additional sources of
funding, I'm sure the City Council would be appreciative of
that information.
The City Council has also taken action recently which will
result in the Committee on Community Needs playing a continuing

Dear Ms. Hix and Mr. Gilles:
Thank you for your letter to the City Council regarding Urban
Renewal in downtown Iowa City.
As of this time it is not possible for us to give you any
information about land costs or proposed taxes in downtown
Iowa City, as the City Council has not yet decided on a specific
land use plan which will regulate the disposition of the Urban
Renewal land. Tentatively, at this time, the City Council has
designated major portions of the area between Burlington and
Court Streets to be used for housing purposes. However, as of
this time the Council has not taken official action on this
subject.
It is suggested that you continue to monitor the activities of
the City Council on the Urban Renewal Plan, and at such time as
decisions are made we will be happy to provide you with the
information on what the Council proposes to do with the Urban
Renewal land.

FROM: Richard J. Plastino
RE: Summary of Study on Separate
Waste
DATE: June 18, 1976
Collection of Recyclable Solid
A review of the available literature and the Iowa City solid waste
recycling system has resulted in several firm conclusions being deter-
mined relative to newsprint recycling and recycling of other materials.
This paper will first list the conclusions drawn from these studies
and the remainder of the paper will explain each separate:conclusion.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Iowa City should continue to use separate trucks for the collection
of separated material, such as newsprint, as opposed to a rack mounted
on the refuse truck. With a rack, recycled products are picked up
on the regular weekly routes.
2. The public relations program for Iowa City's recycling program
should be stepped up and funds should be allocated for radio, T.V.,
newspaper and other types of media advertising.
3. The City does need to pass an anti. -scavenger ordinance. This
ordinance would prevent unauthorized persons from`travelling ahead
of City vehicles on the first Saturday of every month and scavenging
paper put out on the curb for the City pickup.
4. The frequency of pickup should be once per month.
S. The City should consider only recycling of newsprint and not glass
or metal.
6. The City should re-evaluate the market price every 'six (6) months
in order to obtain the best price.
EXPLANATIONS:
1. In the separate truck approach, no attempt is 'made to mix regular
solid waste pickup with recycling efforts. in .the 'case of Iowa City,
a separate truck is sent out for newspaper collection the first
Saturday of every month or.every other month.
page 2. 0 .
Collection of Recyclable Solid Waste
The rack approach involves pickup of newsprint at the same time
regular solid waste is picked up. Tlie`major deficiency of this method
is that the newspaper racks on the sides of the trucks fill up more
quickly than the rest of the truck.-`. A.trip must then be made to
the recycling center one or two times for each regular load of solid
waste. Now that Iowa City is using large 25 cubic yard trucks, this
situation would consume much extra time.
The key to increased public participation in newspaper recycling
programs lies primarily in media advertising. The regularity of
pickup and length of time that recyclinghas been in.effect are
also important, but the most important factor in obtaining and re-
taining citizen awareness and participation is public relations
through the media. It is suggested that the City obtain free and
paid for advertising in the Press Citizen, the Interstate Shopper,
and local radio stations. Fxperimental advertising on a Cedar Rapids
T.V. station should also be tried. In addition, notices in utility
billings, printed door knob hangers,'and announcements made to and
by local civic groups will be helpful.
3. Although Iowa City has.not faced appreciable scavenger.problems,
scavenger problems do have a high probability of occurrence when
market prices are high. With prices at high levels, a separate
paper collection program, such as Iowa City's, may become a target
for many scavengers.
There is no desire to stop legitimate organizations from collecting
paper; however, once paper is put out'on the curb on the first
Saturday of the month for the City's newspaper collection program,
this paper should become the property:of the City., The City maintains
its collection program through market fluctuations,idieh prices are
both high and low. There is justification for the.City, to reap the
reward when the prices are high since only the City's program is
also maintained when the prices are low.;,The experience of most
cities reveals that a small number of citations will eliminate the
scavenger problem quite quickly. An anti -scavenger ordinance is
necessary as a legal vehicle to control scavenger activity. It is
believed that enforcement could be by the police department through
radio contact by the refuse superintendent.
4. A study of several communities reveals -some correlation between
frequency of collection and level of participation, although
participation is more a function of community/socio-economics and
media campaigns.
The most definite correlation was found between program participation
and length of duration of the program. For example, a program that
had been in existence only a year generally had a-lowerpercentage
of participation than a program that had been in _effect three years.
This would seem to indicate that Iowa City,should;continue its pro-
gram, and more importantly, maintain the•;same frequency of pickup for
extended periods. The advantage of oncea month 'pickup is the fact
that people can memorize the fact that the City picks up the first
Saturday of every month.
page 3. • .
Collection of Recyclable Solid Waste
The participation rate in Iowa City's program fluctuates so much
that conclusions are difficult to draw; however, it can be noted
that newsprint tonnage in April and May of last year was 108 tons
with monthly pickup and tonnage picked up in the bi-monthly pickup
for April and May of 1976 was S7 tons. An undue amount of weight
should not be placed on this difference; however, it is felt that
monthly pickup will result in increased participation. More impor-
tantly, the monthly pickup should continue without any changes in
frequency for an extended period of time in order to build up
participation. A study of several communities indicates that an
expected increase in participation of about 18% per.year can be expected
as the program becomes more fixed in the citizens' normal routine.
S. A study of 22 other communities revealed that newsprint is the most
economically feasible material to collect. While wastepaper prices
periodically go up and down, price increases have not been mirrored
by glass and metal container salvage prices. This situation, in
conjunction with glass and metal representing smaller portions of
solid waste, has resulted in wastepaper being most amenable to
separate collection.
Typical quanities of recyclable, and non -recyclable materials are
shown below:
Recyclable Materials (lbs) Non-
Recyl.
Mate-
Tin/Bi News- rials Total
Glass Metal Alum. paper Total (lbs) (lbs)
lbs/house-
hold/wk 4.5 1.7 0.3 12.2 18.7 19.8 38.5*
*(excludes brush and yard waste)
The small quantity of aluminum and the difficulty of preparing and
collecting glass and aluminum, makes the economics of these products
infeasible.
6. At the present time, the City has a contract with City Carton Company
for which the City is paid 40% of the market price at any given time.
The present market price in June of 1976 is $40 per ton; therefore,
the City obtains $16 per ton. In order to obtain the best price
the City should re -bid at least once every six (6) months.

RE: Design Review
1. I attended the Design Review Committee meeting on June 30. At that meeting the
plans for a new building to be located within the Urban Renewal Project area
were presented. The building is to be located fronting on Dubuque Street,
immediately to the south of the mini -park on Washington Street.
2. The plans for this structure clearly illustrate some of the problems the City
will face during redevelopment of the Urban Renewal area. I thought you should
be advised of this situation.
3. The planned structure is a one story, concrete block building, forty feet by
eighty feet, with a full basement. It is to be built fully to the lot lines.
No provision for plantings or other amenities is planned.
The structure is less than ideal. A single story seems a minimal use of a prime
site, but the builder contends he can't build a second story and make it rent
to cover the added costs.
The single story will probably cause a stair step profile with whatever is built
next door on the mini -park site. I would hope that that structure (on parcel 65-2)
would not also be only one story.
The building is to be ribbed concrete block (normal concrete color) on the front
and plain block on the sides. This presents no problem on the north, as the
adjacent building will eventually cover this wall. On the other hand, the south
side, on the alley will be visible, and will show at an angle from the area
around the focal point" and Plaza Centre One.
We inquired about the possibility of extending the ribbed block around the corner
on the south side, twenty feet back or so, and received a lukewarm response at
best.
4. We questioned the intensity at which they plan to use this prime site, and asked
Why they didn't include a second story, with offices or residences located there.
The response was, of course, economic, and the point was well taken. The added
elevator, stairway, hallway, etc., would in their opinion subtract sufficient
square footage and add sufficient cost to make the second story not economically
viable. I haven't made any calculations, but they may well be right. This is
a problem we will face on any small structure.
S. Given the present powers of the Design Review Committee, we can do very little
about this structure. We will have a little more clout during the proposal review
process prior to accepting bids. But, if the economics of a small structure is
as claimed in this case, we will be hard pressed to insist on designs which won't
pay for themselves. When the topic of design review and coordination comes up
again, these are problems to keep in mind.

RE: Followup - Mark IV Recreation Problems
As of last Thursday, July 1, Steve Morris agreed to make bus
passes available to Mark IV children, as a group, to go to the
Horn playground and return to Mark IV. When I called
Steve McCurdy at Mark IV social services to make sure the
procedure was all set, he said they probably wouldn't be going
to the Horn playground in July as their program was already
scheduled. I reminded him that the Recreation Division's
playground programs would be concluded on July 30.
Marily Levin had previously offered to assist the Mark IV Staff
with program ideas, how and where to find arts and crafts
materials (some at no cost), and in any other way she could.
But, as of this date, she has had no response from Mark IV.
This episode of the Mark IV story has much the same format as
Previous ones. The management and staff of Mark IV do not
seem to be as interested in providing recreational services to
their residents as we are.

The City Council is in the process of reviewing the City's urban renewal
plan. Many of the provisions of the plan relate to the interests of the
University of Iowa.
Certain matters relating to land use and traffic may be changed. It would
seem to be desirable for the City staff to meet with representatives of the
University to discuss proposed changes to the plan.
Specific topics to be discussed include the deletion of the transition zone
with that area to be incorporated into the Central Business Core, street
closures and other specific provisions relating to the University area.
A joint staff meeting at an early date seems appropriate. Your representa-
tives should contact the City Manager.

On behalf of the University I want to express our appre-

s. At the same time, we
are grateful for the opportunity to express our long-term
concerns for the area bounded by Washington, Clinton, Bur-
lington, and Capitol streets.
Because of the proximity of three University colleges to
that area, I am joined in this letter by the Dean of Eacul=
ties, the deans of Liberal Arts, Engineering and Education
as well as the departmental executives of Journalism and
Speech and Dramatic Art.
Our primary concern relates to the fact that the Univer-
sity is an integral part of the downtown Iowa City com-
munity. As a neighbor, therefore, we are hopeful that
future urban renewal development in this area will achieve
the maximum possible benefit for the central business core
and the entire city, including the University. "
In approaching urban renewal, we realize that the central
city is being rebuilt to last .at least a hundred ,years.
Many of the long-term needs of the City,and.the Univer-
sity cannot now be accurately predicted. . Nevertheless,.
we should try to anticipate the future and allow enough
flexibility so that our successors can respond to the'de
mands of their times as well as we to ours.
Today as in the 1930s it is not expected that University
enrollments will grow in the foreseeable future. Yet, chang-
ing educational and service needs will require different

from wards to private rooms and improving service. we also
face a difficult space shortage in the law school. This
space need is primarily caused by the changing nature of
legal education during
tional the last decade toward new instruc-
techniques. Our outstanding law library will con-
tinue to grow even though enrollment does not.
Everchanging educational needs at Iowa are illustrated by
an article appearing in the student newspaper of 1870 sug-
gesting the desirability of establishing a reading room
in the library so that students could sit and read books
in the library and not be required to take them home. That
innovation is now sound academic practice, but it did re-
quire space.
The colleges of Engineering, Liberal Arts and Education
similarly face space and facility needs, now and in the
future. These colleges are located directly adjacent to
urban renewal land. The
School of JCollege of Engineering and the
ournalism are located in the same block. Quite
apart from the currently growing enrollments in Engineering
and Journalism, these programs -have site needs. Journalism
has requested an additional Eloor, and there is -the possi-
bility that Speech might: appropriately join Journalism in

At the same time that we are concerned about future communi-

manding space needs. Changes in engineering education
are occurring rapidly as is'evidenced by the recent reorgani-
zation of the College's departments. We hope to move Chemi-
cal Engineering to the Engineering -Communications block.
Compounding this situation are the needs of the Institute
Of Hydraulic Research. We are limited in space on the

leaves the City with an Annual Contributions Contract,,project

The City once again has control of the land and is most inter-
ested in moving ahead with the entire Urban Renewal program,
Accordingly the Council has placed elderly housing on top of
the list of priorities for inclusion in the redevelopment
project.
To assist the City, it is requested that HUD give consideration
to the suggestions listed below:
a• Permit the City to retain the allocation of 62 units
by completing the conversion of the allocation from Section
23 to Section 8.
b• Advertise for the construction of the units on a
pre -selected site with a known land cost. The land would
be sold to the selected developer. The cost of the land
has been a pro'31em in the past. This can be rectified,

c. Due to construction costs, land costs, overall
problems of high-rise buildings, and the -Council's
desire to include an elderly housing structure in

vide a more viable project. Perhaps the 38 additional
units could be obtained from recaptured funds.
d. For consideration is the inclusion of 60 units

Drinking Myths
A guided tour through
folklore, fantasy, humbug
& hogwash
by Joe Dolan
Senior Program Manager
Operation Threshold
A good host never lets a guest's glass gel
empty. There's nothing hospitable about
pushing alcohol or any other drug. A good
host doesn't want his guests to get drunk or
sick. He wants them to have a good
time...and remember it the next day.
Why bother to debunk a bunch of harm-
less myths about drinking? Because
they're not so harmless.
For instance? If a guy thinks It's okay to
smash down 8 to to beers every night
because "It's only beer" ...he could
develop a serious drinking problem
without even knowing it.
We have nine million alcoholic
Americans. It's become a national plague.
Yet in some other societies, where they
don't share out misconceptions about
drinking, alcoholism is rare.
So the mare we know about drinking, the
better we can handle it. The better we can
decide whether, where, when, why, how
much, and with whom to drink.
ll,
The really serious probi•m In our society
Is drug ubu. Right. And our number one
drug problem is alcohol abuse. About
300,000 Americans are addicted to heroin.
But about 9,000,000 are addicted to alcohol.
It's not even close.
It's rude to refuse a drink. Nonsense.
What's rude is trying to push a drink on
someone who doesn't want it or shouldn't
have it.
"Ya gotta hand it to Joe. lie can really
hold his liquor." Don't envy Joe. Often the
guy who can hold so much is developing a
"tolerance" for alcohol.And tolerance can
be a polite word for need.
"What a man! still on his feet eller a
whole fifth." When we stop thinking it's
manly to drink too much, we have begun to
grow up. it's no more manly to over -drink
than it is to over -eat.
If the parents don't drink, the children
won't drink. Sometimes. But the highest
incidence of alcoholism occurs among the
off -spring of parents who are either tee-
totalers ... or alcoholic. Perhaps the "ex-
tremism"of the parents' attitudes 13 an
Important factor.
Very few women become alcoholic. In the
1950's, there were 5 or 8 alcoholic men to
every woman. Now the ratio is about 3 to 1.
Evidently this is one area where women's
liberation is catching on too.well.
Pedple are friendlier when they're drunk.
Maybe. But they're also more hostile,
more dangerous, more criminal, snore
homicidal and more suicidal. Half of all
murders are alcohol-related. And one third
of all suicides.
People gel drunk ... or sick ... from switch. -
Ing drinks. That shouldn't really make
much difference. What usually causes an
adverse reaction to alcohol is drinking too'
much. .. ..
You're not an alcoholic unless you drink a
plat a day. There's no simple rude of
thumb. Eltperts have concluded that how
mach one drinks may be far less importan t
than when he drinks, how he drinks and
why he drinks.
Alcoholism Is just a stale of mind. It's
more than that. it's a very real illness. And
there is scientific evidence that
physiological dependence Is involved.
The first round should be a "double" to
break the Ice. Breaking the Ice Is a job for
a good host or hostess ... not for a bottle.
You must have more to "give" your guests
than just alcohol.
Mixing your drinks causes hangovers. The
major cause of hangovers Is drinking too
much. Period.
alosl alcoholics are skid row bums. Only 3
percent to rk percent are. Most alcoholic
peopleis ut 70 percent) are married.
employed regular people. All kinds of
people.
The "Drunk Tank" is a good cure for
alcoholism. Nonsense. Alcoholism is an
illness, and can be treated successfully.
We don't jail people for other illnesses.
Why for alcoholism?
Give him black coffee. That'll sobor him
up. Sure, in about five hours. Cold showers
don't work either. Only time can get the
alcohol out of the system, as the liver
metabolizes the alcohol. Slowly. There's
no way to hurry it.
The best cure for a hangover is...
Everybody has his favorite. But they all
have one thing in common: They don't
work. What works? Preventive medicine.
If you don't drink too much, you won't get
a hangovers
"1'm just a social drinker." Just because
you never drink'alone doesn't mean you
can't have a drinking problem. Plenty of..
"social drinkers" become. alcoholic.'
Drug? Drug. Alcohol is a drug all right. If
you don't believe it, ask your doctor. '
Today's kids don't drink. Sorry, but the
generation gap Is greatly exaggerated.I .. ;
The kids' favorite drug is the same as their
parents favorite i alcohol:Anddrinking
problems are rising among the young.
The time to teach kids about drinking is
when they reach legal age. By that time.
they've long since learned what we can
teach them. Like it or not, we teach our
kids from birth. And they learn more from
what they see us do than from what they
hear es tell them.
m
"it's only beer." Sure. Just like it's only
bourbon, or vodka or gin. One beer or one.
glass of wine is about equal to one average
"highball." The effect might be a little
slower, but you'll get just as drunk on beer
or wine as on "hard" liquor.
Getting drunk is funny. Maybe in the old
Charlie Chaplin movies ... but not in real
life. Drunkenness is no funnier than any
other illness or incEpacity.
Never trust a man who never takes a
drink. You know that's silly. Yet many of
us are a little nervous around people who
dnn'1 drink
„1 don't know any alcoholics." Maybe you
Just don't know you know any alcoholics.
Some of your best friends may have
drinking problems. They don't seem
"different." And they usually try to hide
their illness, even from themselves. About
1 or every 10 executives has a drinking
problem.
People who drink too much hurt only
themselves. And their families. And their
friends, and their employers, and
strangers on the highway. And you. O

v
Your kids will learn what you tell them
about drinking. Ila ha. Your kids will learn
i what you show them about drinking. If you
i drink heavily; if you gel drunk; the
! chances are your kids will follow the same
i example.
i
It's impolite to tell n friend he's drinking
I loo much. Maybe if we weren't all so
I "polite," we wouldn't have so many
friends with drinking problems.
Most alcoholic people are middle-aged or +
older. A University of Californla research
team has found that the highest proportion
of drinking problems is among, men in
their early twenties. The second highest
incidence occurs among men in their 40's
and 50's.
Thank God my kid iso t on'drugs! If he's
hooked on drinking, he's on drugs. With
nine million Americans dependent on
alcohol, it's time we stopped pretending it
isn't a drug.
Most skid row bums are alcoholics. No.
See? You just, can't count on stereotypes.
A recent study found that less than half the
derelicts on skid row had drinking
problems.

Office hours for registration were extended into the evening to better serve 41
the public beginning in September 1975.
Some of the problems occuring during the year were:
1. Mercer Park tennis court use conflict with South East Jr. High P.E. and public.
2. Thievery of billfolds, purses and clothing from game and locker rooms.
3. Teen age delinquents intimidating and harassing people using the Center
especially around the east entrance and parking lot. In staff's opinion
this is the #1 problem to be corrected. I believe 'a drastic up grading of
the parking lot and entrance way is most important towards a solution. -
4. Staff transportation.
5. Transportation for SPI.
6. Equal sports scheduling for men and women.
7. The impact of increased fees and charges
Physical changes to division facilities by Park Division include in addition
to the roof repair:
1. A cement ramp and opening of the patio fencing outside the east entrance.
2. Installation of toilet fixtures, altering of entrances and the ordering
of wider partitions to accomodate the handicapped.
3. Correcting of wading pool leak at Mercer Pool. "
4. Conversion of 2 Center store rooms to offices.
5. Installation of ceramic tile on floors of lower level rest rooms. (contracted)•
6. Plans prepared for an elevator in the Center tabled.
7. The Optimist Club purchased a wall weight machine which was installed to
replace our rather trcublesome bar bell system.
Other items worthy of mention here are:
1. A"no smoking" policy for areas of the Center except meeting rooms and offices
has been adopted.
2. A participant evaluation form is now being used for all programs.
3. The Special Olympics for handicapped held in April, and the SPI Halloween
Carnival and the special instructional swim program were especially well
received.
4. The evening dance for senior citizens was a great success.
5. The growing interest in adult lap swim at the Center both day time and
Tuesday and Thursday evening. It has slacked somewhat during the summer
but that can be expected with other outdoor interests. The adult hour
at Mercer has been a disaster although we make frequent announcements.

at the Goals and Objectives outlined for FY 76, all have been
Implemented to a degree and, in most instances, the objective has

One additional person was employed as Park Security for the summer
months.
As part of the Capital Improvement Program for neighborhood park
development, 235 trees and shrubs were planted. The breakdown

the month of June multiplied by the number of acres mowed revealed
a total of approximately 1,585 acres mowed. This amount does not
include all the park acreage but reflects only those acres maintained
at least once every three (3) weeks. Several areas are mowed once
a week.

At ceremonies June 30, 1976 Mr. Clifford Newton of the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau
of Apprenticeship and Training presented to the Members of the Iowa City Fire Department
Apprenticeship Committee their certificate of registration from the U.S. Department oC
I.nbor. The certificate shows U.S. Department of Labor recognition of the "Apprenticeship
standards for the trade of Fire Fighter adopted by the Iowa City Fire Department and
International Association of fire Fighters AFL/CIO Local No. 610, Iowa City, Iowa.
Mr. Newton has worked with the Apprenticeship Committee since January 1976 in setting
up this program. The long range goal of the program will be increased professional
fire protection and fire fighting services for the citizen's of Iowa City. The Iowa City
Fire Department is the first Fire Department in the State of Iowa to adopt and operate
such a program.
Background Information
'i'he National Apprenticenhin and Training Standards for the. Fire Fighter were developed
Jointly by the International Association of Fire Chiefs and the International Association
of Fire Fighters. A large amount of cooperation and assistance was received from the
following agencies: Local Unions, Fire Department Administrations, Bureau of Apprenticeship
and 'Training Agencies, State Apprenticeship Councils, and Departments of Vocational
Nducation. The program has been under development since July 1975.
Much of the subject matter in the program comes from the National Fire Protection
Association Pamplet 1001 "Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications". The goal of the
National Program is the same as Iowa City's; to promote better professional Fire Protection.
The program contents and subject matter are easily amended to enable continuous up dating
of training.. The will permit the Iowa City Fire Department to keep abreast of new techniques,
equipment, and changes in the community.
Advancement from Apprentice Fire Fighter to Journeyman Fire Fighter is accomplished in a
three (3) year period. Advancement is guaged by testing, both written examination and
practical applications are used in this testing procedure.
Iowa City's program deals with subject matter for the Iowa City area and the Iowa City
fire Department. Such as: Fire Protection Systems, Water Systems, Apparatus, Streets,
Pre—Fire Planning, etc.
The program incorporated "the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972" and an "Affirmative
Action Plan" adopted by the City of Iowa City for use by the Iowa City Fire Department.
The lows. City Apprenticeship Committee consists of the following individuals:
Committee Chairman: Art Kloos, Battalion Chief
Supervisor of Apprentices: Larry Kinney, Fire Department Training Officer

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are pleased to submit herewith our recommended Building Program for a new
public library facility for Iowa City, Jolla.
In the spring of 1975 you had requested Robert Rohlf to meet with you to
discuss the possibility of a study of your present library services and to
inspect the present library building. Following that meeting and subsequent
correspondence and coamunication on March 10, 1975 he submitted a proposal to
you which stated in part:
"Following several visits to your present library and inspection of
your facilities, I feel that it would be economically unfeasible, if not
irresponsible, to attcmnt another addition to your present building.
She inefficiencies of staff time (.uid therefore cost), public inconv^n-
ience and curtailment of service programs, added to the increasin-
maintenance costs of the present structures, force me to conclude that
only an entirely ne:f main library is economically feasible. For that
reason, my proposal is concerned only with a new project, and if this
is entirely in conflict ;rith your Board's wishes, I would withdraw
the proposal,"
Our studies and analysis since the time of your accent.ance of our proposal
(as mutually- modified) has reinforced the original beliefin the ext.rcne need
for an entirely new phy:i(:al facj.lity for library service in Iowa City and the
inadvisability and even imprudence in any consideration of constructing Mother
addition to the present library building.
Our contract of July 117, 1975 provieed that we prepare a recommended
Building Program stateme((t ;:hich will 1) Describe the purpose, scope and
function of the library buildin-, 2) Dacri.be physical requirements and aesthetic
character of the bu ildinE, 3) stablisl; and define the specific areas needed in
the building, their purposes, size .requirements, capacities and functional
relationships,"
The recommendations contained herein are meant to neet those requirements
and to provide an architect with t':;e functional service and space information
needed for the desi(n of a modern and efficient l.ibrr-iy building.

IO'r7A CITY- PUBLIC LIBRARY
DUILDIR G PROGRAM
101.1. CITY IOWA
I2:TR0�TI0;;
Over recent years the Iowa City Library Board, City officials and
library staff have become increasingly concerned regarding the gxeat need
for nore adequate public library facilities for Iowa City, Accordingly
the consultants were retained to develop a library building program
detailing the specific space needs to adequately provide for the
services and collections needed for a truly effective library progran
for Iowa City,
The consultants received a variety of reports studies and other
data which describe the cu -rent characteristics and environment of Iowa
City and also attempt to forecast the city of the future. Reports and
studies re-+iewed included the follo;ring:
--
U. S. Census data (including the 1974 Special Census)
--
Public O.ffice Spaces (Johnson Count Regional gional Planning Commission)
-- Users and Use o.f the Io:City Public Libr2ry (Survey conducted
by Iowa City Public Library
�iorari Ser-.,
Agency, 1975
-- Lon r,-Ran:tee Crals (Iowa City Public Library Board- of Trustees,
iiovenbcr, 197.5)
Iowa Citv Public Tdbr _r� Annu; l Re its .for 1975, 1974 and 1973
In addition ti;e consultants inte):vieifed members of the Iowa City
Public Library steff, the Iowa City City Manager and the Director of the
1
Johnson County Regional. Planning Commission.
A detailed questionnaire submitted by the consultants was completed'
by the library staff and the consultants in a series of meetings and
discuGsions with the library staff on October 17 & 18P 1975 raised specific
questions for consideration and decision by the library Director and staff.
A preliminary program draft was submitted to the library Director
in February which resulted in a series of library staff task force
reports recommending specific facilities and requesting provisions for
specific services and functions in a new library building. Intensive
additional discussions were held with the library Director in April and
consensus was reached on significant requirements for a new public library
building for Iowa City.
As a result of the above investigations and discussions, and based
on their professional experience in the program planning of public
libraries the consultants sub it this Building Program as their
recommendation to the citizens of Iota City,
The Building Program for a near Iowa City public Library as submitted
herein, for the Board's consideration and approval, proposes:
I. To describe the community needs and library organization
and materials,
II. To describe the physical requirements and aesthetic character
of the building.
III. To establich and define the specific areas needed in the
building their ptL poses their size requirements their
capacitics� and i�heir functional relationships.
The Building Pro3ram, when approved by official Board action, will
be the basic document subnitted to the architect for his guidance in all
phases of the buildin.g project.

The potential inpact of population growth on the resources,
services and facilities of the public library has been recognized in
the standards of the Anerican Library Association which stipulate that,
"Library buildings should be planned to accommodate community
population growth for some twenty years plus the accelerated
use of libraries growing out of the increased emphasis on
formal and continuing education."
A recoanenda'tion of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission
in its publication, Public Office Spaces, which states, "Design -future
City and County buildings to accommodate a twenty-year growth projection"
is in agreement with AL1+ as quoted above.
to determine a "design population" for
The consultants in order
1995 to be used foz- the purpose of building planning used as its
primary source the projections of the Regional Planning Commission.
Perhaps a natural assunption would be that the building should be
planned to reflect only the population anticipated to be within the
corporate limits of to'.,a City in 1995.
In fact, the Iona City Public Lib`ary through a variety of contractual
and reciprocal arrant cents provides public library service to the whole
of Johnson County. It is a reasonable assumption that it will do so in
the future
Iowa City has been a leader in cooperation with other libraries as

participant in the plans of the Iowa State Library and as noted above now
provides the "help'inU hes.d" in its in.,sdiate vicinity by Ure provision
of library service to much of Johnson County.
I
It is obvious that the use of the proposed library building by county
residents, both rural and urban , will require additional space to be
provided in order to meet this demand.
liowever, the demands of the county residents will be proportionately
reduced by the distance to be traveled to Iowa City and by use of other
puolic libraries in the county.
It is recommended by the consultants, therefore, that a demand factor
of twenty-five percent be applied to those residents of Johnson County
anticipated to be living outside the corporate limits of Iowa City in
1995• It is impossible to demonstrate this percentage as statistically
valid but Table 22, "Distance of Users' hone rom Library", in the survey,
Users: and Usen of the Iola City Public Libras+ . does provide some informa-
tion relative to the consultants' recommendation.
It is the reco=lendation of the consultants that ',.n adjusted "desigcn
population" of 68,912 (rounded to 70,000) as detailed below be used for
building planning.

( Cor,.nunity Characteristics Vis -a -Vis Goals Adopted by Iowa Citv Public Library
The design population can be applied to recognized standards to
indicate general average space needs but a detailed review of local
population charact aris tics and pattern of library use is significantly
more valid in projecting space and service needs.
A thorough review of census data reveals significant variation in
Iowa City from national averages. These social and economic characteristics
contribute to an unusually high level of public library use by the Ioi:a.
City population. Even more importantly, these indicators show increasing
gains over the last decade.
The census data indicates that the Iowa City Public Library service
area is growing more rapidly in population than any other area of Iowa;
that the average number of coripleted years of school is 1.9 years above
the U.S, average; that 39% of area residents over the age of 25 have four
or more years of college compared to the Iowa and the national average
of only 10p; that over 6T5 are in white collar occupational groups
compared w 18;3 nationally and that the family median income (despite
the large member of students) is over 4 2' above both the Iowa and national
averages.
These social and economic characteristics strongly indicate above
average library use and above average demand for librar, services and
materials. Every study of library use and users, both nationally and
locally reveals a. very- high correlation between high library use and
above averag- economic and education levels and high level of white
collar occupations. This correlation appear_. repeatedly as can be seen
in such areas an Betln!ada, Mid; licnnepin County, lin, and park Forrest,
Ill to cite only a few examples.
The present use of the Iowa City Public Library (first of all Iowa
public libraries in p::r capita circulation and p -,r book circulation),
and the increasing prossurcc For additional. services and materials which
care impossible to provide because of the extreme physical limitations of
the present buildin.- are evidence of the unique social raid economic
characteristics of the Iowa City populace d
described above -and which
require library facilities significantly greater than those required in
a more typical American community.
The adoption of the Lona Range Coals statement by the Iowa City
Public Library Board of Trustees in Iiovember, 1975 recognizes these
special cha acteristics of Iowa City in its references to contracts with
other libraries and its emphasis on educational, information and cultural
goals (see Appendix II).
A new library building in Iowa City should be planned with all of
the above factors ].I1 mind. It is certain that a well planned library,
vital in concept o)f design and fwnct-on, will bring to Iowa City a
community asset of educational, cultural, social a -rid economic value
which will far outweigh its dollar cost.
orrrani,Zational Structure
4'hc purpose of the administrative and service organ, ation of the
Iowa City Public Library is to effect the aims- objectives and policies
for library service to the community as formulated by the Board Of
Directors of the Public Library.
The building, in addition to its prime purpose as a center of direct
library service to the public, will also be the administrative and technical
processing headquarters for the libra--y system, and for future branches
and outreach services. Because of this the building should also provide
housing for book media vans and related office and storage space.
The organization of the library is Planned to be arranged by depart-
ation
ments according to function or activity, i.e, circulation, inform
children's services, outreach coLmmnity service, and technical processes
including the ordering, classification, and physical preparation of the
materials £or public use.
The structure of the orga•niza'tion is sw:1arized by the Table of Organ-
ded relationships of the separate functions

effective service if it is to fulfill its P
standards Generally recc;amend a staff ratio - excluding maintenance
enployees - of one professional for two clerical employees. Recognizing.
the significant above average library use and unique population
character.lalcs of Iowa City 'the consultants would project a total library
staff (excluding maintenance) of 42 needed to rerVe a 19995 "desrtp:
population" of 70,000. This number was arrived at by a formula factoring
in national standards, average employee workloads tabulated by the annual
Nontgomery County (11D) Library survey and present and projected Iowa
City Public Library l::e, The space requirements for service and worI;
assignments for these 42 staff members have been considered in Section
III Functions and Area Space Requirements, .
The consultants have reviewed the present Table of Organization of
the library. They have also reviewed all of the personnel job descriptions
for each employee classification in the library. Particular job responsi-
bilities and duties have also been discussed ,rith principal staff members
and with the Library Director. As a result of our investigations and in
light of our experience with generally accepted library operations and
standards we are reconnending the creation of a new classification within
the library and also a new but not drastically different Table of
The new building should be able to adjust to staff changes
over the years, It is certain that periodic reorganizations tiril.l occur
to reflect both ch:!n,_-!n library technology and services and also the
unique and particular talents of staff members.
The new classification .recommended is that of "Principal Librarian"
with the edminiztraLive or wori.i.ng title of Assistant Director for Public
Service, Ile recommend further that the salary for this position be
established at a range 15s above that of the present Senior Librarian
classification, The estab].ichmer.t of such a position would better
coordinate all T)ublic service and free the Library Director from many
of the day to day interruptions, thus allowing more time for planning
and cormunity developmcntr and just as importantly, provide more time for
direct service concerns for the present department or division hearts. A
greater concentration on outreach and community extension services is
also projected in the recorzended Table of Organization which follows on
the next page.
It must be emphasized that the increase in staff projected in this
Frown is not dictated by the design of a new and larger building, but
rather by the projection of larger population and larger use. In fact
a new, more efficient building :rill result in more efficient service.
The history of other communities would indicate however that a new
library building generates from 20 to 30 per cent greater library use.
This factor plus increasing population requires ,eater staff. A new
well designed buildin will not by it:-,elf require additional staff.

II.t�F;CHITECTURAL, PHYSICAL AND AESTHLIIC REgUIREMMITS
P.. General T)esign Considerations
The modern public library is not a museum or cloister but is a
vital, ,,arm, outgoing information center inviting to the public, easy
to use and friendly in atmosphere. It should be designed on as open
a basis as possible with ,rails kept to a minimum and furniture as
uncluttered as possible, For that reason, it is recommended that
those building elements with the least likelihood of change be grouped
as much as possible to ensure as much freedom of change as is possible
in the remaining areas of the building. The plan of the proposed
building must represent the ultimate in flexibility so that it may
accommodate both the present and future service programs of the library.
Many people act almost as though they are in a private home when
they are in a library and the atmosphere should be that of a person
visiting the homme of an old friend, that is, one of relaxed friend–
liness mixed with respect for the property and desires of the host.
It would be no5t desirable to include within the design of the
building superior examples of art such as statuary, mosaics, etc.,
and provision for these should be jade in the design plans.
A libraiy build.ing should be designed to be used – not merely
-to be admired. For these reasons it is imperative that function
take precedence over des -57,. It is very possible to achieve a
modern functional library that is attractive and dramatic at the
sal. -'e time.
Because a modern library generates activity and noise careful
consideration must L•a Given to acoustical treatment throughout the
building. The Prog=-,' calls for special study and quiet areas but
the general area^. of -the building ;till be filled with noise and
activity and floor, call and ceiling materials, plus the mechanical
distribution system must be desi(-ncd with this in mind,
Tile ideal public libraY-j strl:cture in a city of the type and
size of Iowa City would be a one floor structure. With only one
level the transporting of books, other library materials and more
importantly, the case with which people nay circulate in and out of
various service and collections areas in the library is immensely
better than when services and materials are distributed on more than
one floor.
In some instances, either because of site restrictions such as
size or topography, or, in the final design considerations it becomes
necessary to use more than one level, the st_•ucture could evolve
into no more than two levels. If this occurs, great care must be
taken to make certain that whatever the decisions as to the number
of levels, the relative size of each level, and most importantly,
the f=ctiers relegated to a specific level, the result is the most
lori.cal and efficient for public service.
When the requirements proL-;l:<v ed in this document are considered
certain operating conclusions appear valid. They are: 1) the protean
indicates, basically an entire "op^n shelf" collection with public
access to -'Jirtllally all of the collection; 2) only linited areas in
both ntuiber and space needs lend the,nse.l.ves to a physical separation
from,, the rest of the areas; if two floors or levels are nccessaxy,
they reed not, in fact should not, be equal in size.
The design of the building should:
Be architecturally distinctive and e xpres'sive of
the character of the libroal, function;
Be identifiable as a library and set apart from
surrounding structures;
Be inv.'iting in approach with nininal setbachr or
impediments to easy access;
corcentrate all public services in priiiary sp-ce
and place all primary spat:(. on the ground .level
floor (if the site forces more than one floor ;
Provide internal spaces :which are easily adaptable
to changing service patterns and chance ng library
needs,

of the American Standards Association., 14aking Buildings and
Facilities Accessible to and Useable by the Physically
Handicanmd� A 117.1 — 1961 should be consulted.
-- The building should be designed on the module principle
and. no interior Load bearing walls will be accepted.
The module or bay spacing must be as large as the buri&ct will
allow and :mist tnkc into connice.r-atlon the standard library
shelving nodule of three feet. Colu:.,ns must be as few and
unobtrusive as no�;sible and certain areas (such as circulation,
lobby and neetini, roof:l) na;,- require free spans in excess of
regular building nodule selected.
Because of the requirement that all areas of the building
nust be able to contain portions of the library's collection
the floor loadint; requirement. throuC,Iiout the building is 1$0
pounds live load per square foot,
b, Electz:kcal Requirements:
-- Convenience outlets should be provided for standard
electrical equi_rmert; floor vacuums, scrubbers, polisher
I
,
clods, charms ng r..achinesmicroform readers audio-visual
equipment. Outlets away from walls and pillars should be
flush -floor mounted and capped.
-- F-Ijor equipment such as copy machines will require 220
volt service. This equipment must be located during final
electrical drawin;;s and the staff must be consulted for
e7act needs,
-- Underfloor duct such as Square D trench duct will be
required to circulation desk, media center, information
desk, adult information study area and circulation workroom,
The enact location of this duct system must be reviewed with
the staff,
c, Illumination Regulrenent•

all commercial liGntin
B, W=s steadily increasing in brightness
and foot candle power. This trend has now been reversed but
liahtin rex:ains one of the major concerns in library planning.
The requirements set forth below provide reasonable standards
within efficient energy dcrands. Task lighting is returning
as a light source and should be carefully considered in view
Of its advanta&_ s but care must be taken to also consider
its significant limitations in most library applications,
All llghUng selections must be carefully determined to
avoid glare at table and counter tops and to consider both
clay Ind ni_;irttime •ariatioss,
-- The lightinG level in the building should be as follows:
Readiru, areas - public and staff: a minimum
of 75 foot candles sustained at floor
level.
Closed boot: stacks, storage and non -
assigned spaces: a minimum of 50 foot
cand7.es, sustained at floor level.
-- Lighting fixtures in public areas should be of such type
and so arranged that light levels as requested can be achieved
reGardless of the arrangement of shelving and/or seating.
-- The number of CAfferent types of fixtures must be kept to
a ninimu_m and the ease of re -tubing must be a major consider-
ation in fixture selection.
-- Fluorescent fixtures providing uniform overall lighting
should be the primary light source. Special effect lighting,
incandescent dorm lightsl etc. should not be used except
with special approval of staff in .limited areas.
-- Plight lightin.- and emergency lighting systems should be
separate from General lighting -F ttern and switched separately.
The night lighting should provide for illumination at all
times the buildin, is closed to the public. This system
should also provide for safe staff egzess. (Exterior lights
are noted in previous section)
-- All General public areas of the building are to be
snitched from uanels at the circulation desk. No switches
are to be in l;cneral public areas. Individual rooms as called
for in this pro-rara shall have individual switching within
the room. The switching panel must be readily identified
allow variable light volume in each Major area and must r
Provide £or snitches other than circuit breakers.
-- liGh.Ung in specific storage areas and closed book stacks
may utilize task or boo]: stack lighting but this must be
reviewed and approved by the library staff.
d. mechanical Systems:
— Adequate air control and treatment is essential and all
systems usedheating and cooling, should have excellent
electrostatic filter and humidity control. The systems
selected must have 101, level operational noise and high
velocity systems are not desirable.
-- All temperature controls must be carefully located in
consideration of furniture and shelving placement and must be
either or locked or shielded type to prevent public adjust-
ment or tampering.
-- Ito license should be necessary for the operation of any
Of the mechanical systems selected for the building.
e. Communication g• r.

The libra 7 will require a complex public address system and
a separate telephone system serving both public and inter-
office needs,
-- The central telephone answering point may vary from time
to time. For that reason conduit sufficient for F➢X console
equipment must be located at
^ the circulation desk and also at
the service {'

f, rlOo__ r Cove_in
-- A high e,^.:ade col^crcial carpet preferably wool or as an
alternative acrylic fiber, is strongly recommended for
virtually all public and staff areas,
-- A carpet allowance should be a part of the construction
budget of the library but the carpet should be bid as a
separate iters and not as part of the general contract to
ensure better osmer control over delivery and installation
and also to reduce cost and coordination problens,
-- Arc' -s reconmended for floor covering other than carpet
are as follows:
Machine Service Doo,-,, vinyl the
Restrooms
E,trarce ceratiic tile

nee is an expensive continuing iters in any building
and bcc�twe library operating budgets are allays loss than
actual needs all possible means of reducing naintemmce costs
nest be pursued. The selection of all Materials and finishes
must be mode with the need for minimal maintenance needs
uppermost in mind. Painted surfaces or surfaces requiring
iaaxin,,, polishing, etc, must be kept to an absolute minimum.
llhile the se7.ecU of more permanent surfaced material may
add to the initial cont of the building their resistance to
vandalinn and reduction in periodic refinishing will cF.ctually
effect significant cost savings in the long run. Plastered,
painted surfaces in any public areas are not recommended.
h. Graphics/Sicniage•
-- Attractive, contemnora-y and very legible signage of
both directional and informational character should be an
intc,-xal part of the interior design. Graphics should be
incorporated into the interior design of all public areas
and a specific and coo_dinated sign and labeling system
should be integrated with the building graphics system.
i. Restrooms:
-- Public restrooms should be provided as follows: Adult
restrooms not arominently located but easily supervised.
Separate facilities, for r..seting rooms are not necessary but
unless the main public restrooms can be used from the meeting
room without allowin;; accass into the library proper
rep-ro.te reetin-. room restroomn should be provided.
Children's toilets should be provided in the children's room.
: taff toilets sho-old l,e located on each floor level to which
staff are assi[;ned. 1].acement of public restrooms should
result in easy access yet not interfere with libreay
activities,
-- Restroom finishes and equipment must be as vandal proof
and materials selected (ceramic tile) as conveniently
maintained as pcssible. Restroons should contain the
following:
Electric hand d:rYC -s
Vanity shelf or counter .with mirror
Parcel shelf and coat hooks
Women's restrooms should be eouippad t+ith a
coin operated sanitary napkin dispenser
floor drain
llasulicappod stall and bars
j, Elevateors:
-- Tna required size of the building and the efficiencies
Of operation and cost of site may result in a tyro -floor
building. If that is the case the problems of public access,
movement of library materials and efficiency of staff ;ork
patterns ;ill require two elevators, one solely for staff
use and dcli;•ery and one for public and staff use. Under
no crcumstMces iz a book lift to be considered in lieu of
a personnel elevator,
-- 'levators should:
Be autom.atic (electric or hydraulic)
Accom:mcdate a minimum of 1,000 Pounds
Be located within. the ci::culaticn control point
of the licraxy and not in an outer lobby
Be maintenance free ar.:;. equipped. with the most
modern co;_-nc kation and safety devices
ilot be selected for Toast cost but for most
efficiency over long number of years
Be easily and rapidly serviceable locally
B, Special Featun:s i
The architectural desiGn of the building should accommodate the
following features;
1. Exit .1•.lain- To be provided on all public exits other than
main exit -entrance, ianic hardware to be used with batter,
or electrically operated alarm which can be turned off with
a key. Several syste:s are available but t}ie consultants
have had successful experience with the Best Alarm Systems.
2. fire Alarm.
------__- I£ possible fire alarm system should be tied
into city system. Heat and smoke sensing devices should be
considered for use throughout the building,

permanent sculpture or other art work into the design of the
building. It i-- recommended that a minimum of of l of
the construction budget be allocated for this purpose.
8. Doors: Door widths should accommodate wheelchairs. All
doors in work areas should be 36" in width and should have a
holding device to allow passage of book trucks.
-- Public entrance/exit doors must be carefully selected for
balance, ease of use and secure and easy locking.
9. Drinking Fountains: Should be conveniently located, prefer-
ably in connection with restrooms. Fountains should be
electrically cooled and of two heights one for children
and wheelchair users and one for adults.
10. 17indows. Window treatment is a special design concern for a
multitude of reasons. Windows must be located to provide
both visibility into attractive, public activity areas of
the library thus oervin; as an attraction to the passing
public and also to provide visual relief to those inside the
building. Winnows selected, both in quantity and type must
be done so with heating and cooling costs and maintenance
and replacement costs in mind.
-- All staff areas with the possible exception of interior
rooms and conference or meeting rooms are t6 have visible
access, to the outside.

avoid unsightly vicars fro_. outside.
li. Display Areas: Picture hanging rails unobtrusive and a
part of the desi pi should be located at 6' heights through-
out the public areas and at 5' heights in the children's
area. Staff should be consulted at time of preliminary
design for exact location,
--Display cases and bulletin boards should be incorporated
into the vestibule and lobby areas and free standing cases
should be designed in conformity with the general millwork
of the building. The staff must be consulted at design state

the normal supply cupboards, work counters doors, etc, but
also for special equipment items such as circulation and
registration desks, inforzation desk, phono disc and picture
book bins and media desk or counter.
16, Refuse: Design should incorporate a sheltered and screened
refuse area,
III. PUBLIC ARL; FU2CTIMS AND SPACE RsraUIREriE:.iTS
The public service and function areas described below are those
areas of the building open to the public in their use of library services
and resources. These areas with the possible exception of the Auditorium
should be considered as primary main floor :paces. Their arrangement
design and ease of access should encourage easy access to materials and
service. Daze to anticipated changing needs and service pattern the srace
should be as open as possible and divisions should generally be achieved
by use of furniture and shelving not by walls or partitions. In those
areas referred to as rooms partitions can be used but they must not be
load bearing. Some specific staff work areas and rooms are described in
this section and they relate directly to public service functions and
should therefore be considered as primary spaces.
A. Entrance Vestibule and Lobby (non -assignable)
Only one main entrance to the public service areas of the library
should be provided. Additional public entrances would create control
problems or require additional staff. However, emergency exits will
be required according to local building code. The entrance and exit
problem for the i;eetind room can be handled separately if it becomes
necessary to do so.
The main entrance, at ground level to eliminate steps, should be
placed as nearly as possible at the focal point of pedestrian arrival
at the building whether from public side -,,alk or librar; par}:ing area.
A double -door vestibule should be utilized to prevent drafts and
to reduce coolin;; and heat loss. The vestibule should provide:
1. clench
7. Boot rack
3. Public telephone
iF. Community bulletin board
5. Ilours of Service sign
6. Foot cleaning mats
7. Public 'lockers
8. Access to auditorium and meeting rooms
9. Electric, traffic counter at inner door
The inner lobby adjacent to the vestibule should provide space
for display cases, library directory board or stand and special
exhibit facilities, bench.
➢, Circulation Area and Workroom - 1,800 square feet
This area accommodates the book charging -return -registration
desk Which is the central point for visual control and physical super-
vision of the entrance and the immediate public service area. The
desk must be near the entrance but should not immediately confront the
patron. Traffic space about the desk must provide for free movement
of those patrons requiring desk service.
Space has been allocated in this area for the electronic booI:
detection system Moir in use and this equipment must be efficiently
planned for in the exit traffic design.
1. Circulation Desk Area - 700 square feet
All adult and juve::ile raterials will be charged and returned
at this desk. Adult re"istration will take place at this desk.
Childron, houpver, Will be reoistured ;within their oim department.
The circulation desk, the primary equipment item of the
area, ray be Procured in the essential component units as commer-
cially nanufac'tured by library equipment firms, or may be designed
by the architect to be constructed by a local cabinet firm. Cost
nay be low_!r if the letter method is utilized, but is not
36
permissible unless production level of local'£irn is of highest
quality. Des,; detailing should match millwork of building.
The actual design of the desk and its facilities should be
done jointly by the librarian and architect to make certain that
space is provided for all drai.ers, files, operations and supplies.
A 36" height is recommended but must be discussed with staff.
It is assumed in the neo: building that a transaction system
of book check-out will be used, either the existing system or one
similar to it. The circulation desk should be planned for such a
transaction system. The consultants recomumend that a computerized
charging system be investigated for use as soon as possible The
charging machine or device enployed - either electrically
operated filmer or a computerized system will require electrical
conduit.
The desk location must be carefully determined for ease of "1
access, exit control relationship with detection system and
efficient adequate work sm ce for staff. The desk must have
clearly defined and identifiable areas for:
-- two return stations
-- one rcgistration station for library cards
-- two charging or check-out stations
These station_, must be located to pernit easy traffic flow
with no obstruction o; ;citing lines. The return and registration
stations are best oriented to patrons entering the library and the
charUing stations to those lez- ing the library.
The desk should be located adjacent to the enclosed

It is assumed in the new building that a transaction system
of book check-out will be used, either the existing system or one
similar to it. The circulation desk should be planned for such a
transaction system. The consultants recoiLmend that a computerized

areas of the library and will provide for several important
functions. It is recommended to serve the dual functions of
circulation work and also media service. The workroom must be
located directly behind or adjacent to the circulation desk. It
should also be located immediately adjacent to the public audio-
visual and media service area of the library and it is reco;giized
that this dual requirement places some restrictions on the
architect but the efficient functioning of these services is
essential to the library.
All mterials charged out of the library will be returned
here for discharge, sorting and return to the shelves, In
addition, all overdues, reserve request items must be controlled
from this area. The media requironc.nts should be physically
separated. from 'the sorting and shelving flo:r of material so in
effect we are recommending several functions to be separate but
co -located without walls or partitions. The supervision of these
functions requires an enclosed office to allay privacy not only
for pernonnel wttLers but. for concerns dealing with overducs,
patron conplaintc, etc, which can be expected to arise in any
active e:ervice facility.

of a 150,000 volume collection. This inventory capacity figure of
117,000 is arrived at on the "oasis that at least0?
3 = of the fiction
and 20;L of the non-fiction is in circulation at any given time.
Shelving therefore will provide for 21,000 fiction and 96,000 non-
fiction volumes.
It is important that minimum design considerations be set forth
to enable the collection to be housed in such a manner as to provide
logical and easy access to the collection and to avoid a warehouse
look. For this Purpose the criteria listed below are strongly
reconmonded,
Aisles: Pain aisles should be five feet, side aisles should be
three feet,
Shelvinr_ Hei.aht: All general adult shelves shall be no more than
C4" in height,
Ra;,es: Shelving ran;;es composed of three foot sections should
never crceed 13' in length with 12' considered to be ideal.
Spacing of -helving ra175es should be at least 5' on center with
5'6"
spacing prc:fc_-red,
Arrnr.!a,mr-nt: To avoid inconvenience and confusion to user the
ranges should fol'.o:: a ].cgica, location pattern
a to enable a
sysiematic shelving of the collection and a logical numerical and
alphabetical sequel:ce of the mat^_rial. Grouping of rviges should
allot" for scatint; of eithera for; --:al or informal nature between
f
blocks of ranges to allow a reader easy access to a chair or table
and also to relieve the visual effect of too many shelving ranges
na:sed together,
A _portion of the general collection area may be designated as a
co::p7..oh':d by l;a u.ai;''atior: of
certain collection materials such as fiction, sewing patterns, uncataloged
paperbacks, etc, and should be designated at tis.:e of design development,

square feet
C-encral seating is to be interspersed with fiction and non-fiction
shelving ranges to provide for a total number of 100 readers divided
on a 2080 ratio between informal lounge type seating and formal table
seating. The approximately 80 readers at tables should be distributed
at a 2575 ratio bet;;een individual tables and four -place tables,
Provide four additional study typing rooms similar to those
specified in Information area,
G. Periodical Lound - 850 squaxe feet
This area will provide for the display oi' current issues of
approximately 500 periodical titles and for seating for 30 readers,
The periodicals should be displayed on sloping Periodical shelving
With standard sin le �aC
g ed dimensions of &'g"
high is 16" deep, Each
section is 36" wide and with five sloping silelves per seCt1CR Can
accor-r.,odate 15 to to titles per section face. Immediate back issues
(6 to 12 issues Per title) caul be stored behind eachsloping flip -up
display shelf. Other types Of periodical rli
tiplay and storage fixtu es
are also available and final selection should be made at the time of
furritur.: specification.
The seating, for 30 readers e:hould consist of three four -place

circuit for ninimtmt of three vend -!ii.- machines.
P,00m should provide informal lounge seating for 8 persons with
several coffee tables,
I. Children's Room - 4,625 square feet
This is the major public service area that could be set apart from
other areas. Its location and the manner in which it is separated from
other public areas (glass is recommended) is important however in that
the children must be encoura.-ed to also use other areas of the library
and as they grow older learn the con�iete library services and materials
available to the.... 11hile children will register i:ere for their library
card all materials to be charged out of the children's collection will
be charged out and returned at the main circulation desk. Access to
and from the children's room via the circulation desk must be carefully
considered. Because of the frequent need to stove large groups of
children into the najor r..ceting noon it is hilly desirable to allow
a separate direct entrance into ratting room :roan the children's room
if both rooms are on the saxte level.
The room must provide for a variety of collection materials ,std
services and careful consideration must be given to the need for bright
and liveZf colors imaginative t,,achics and furniture and equipment of

or even through items on display. Should not be a separate or
isolated and static area of the room. The use of portable, free-
standing cases is recommended.
J. meeting Rooms - 2,800 square feet
There exists a great need for public meeting space in Iowa City.
The library currently has many requsts for meeting room space for both
small and la -,,.e groups and meeting ::pace in the new library building
should be provided not only for direct library related programs but
also for the many civic croups who could use such space to make the
library the "iotin Hall" of Ic;;a City. As stated in a staff committee
report, "providing meeting .room space to facilitate educational,
cultural, recreational and informational activities is a valid and
important function of (a) public library".
51
The meeting room complex should be located in the building so
that it can be entered from the library proper (with a direct entrance
from the Children's Room if possible) and also from a separate entrance
which can be used when the libraiy is closed. Rest rooms must be
or av,dl lc to the me'tln.- r00n o, goat and hat facilities
should be in each room.
The components of the meeting room complex should be as follovt:
1. Iiajor meeting room - 2,000 square feet
Seating space for 180 persons on stacking chairs. Flat floor
to allow multi-purpose use of space. Room should be divinable into
two areas, not necessarily equal in size and design shape may
influence proportions of the division. A portable two-step stage
should be provided. The ceiling height must be sufficient to
allow ease of viewing films, slides, etc, and not restrict
viewing area.
The room nust include many special electrical connections.
Located at the front of the room should ba microphone inputs,
remote control jack for slides, remote control for projector on/ of£
switch, override light control switch, two large wall mounted
stereophonic speakers, monaural speakers for public address
yGtem.
J
The front of the room should be designed to allow multiple
projection on the wall surface itself. Side and rear walls should
contain hangar rails at 6' heicht for display purposes.
The room should have direct access to a 100 square foot storage
room for chairs and tables and to a separate room or alcove containing
a kitchen unit with sink and serving counter (Dwyer or similar).
It is very desirable, but not mandatory, that thA storage room also
be di-r:ctly accessible from the lobby described below,
52
f
2. Projection room - 100 square feet
This room should be located at the rear of the major meeting
room with direct access to the room and also with direct access to
a lobby or hall so that the room can be entered without having to
d_ntn_0 % iCB:a _❑ 0r i41; -howinJ• TI'e T00!:1 )lL)s't have R raiscA
floor to Provide for a Projection counter amu" above projection room
floor with a projection window 2" above the counter and 12" high by
48" wide. This window must be a minimum of 66" above the meeting
room floor, thus the projection room floor will be at least 28"
above the floor of the meeting room. In addition to this front
counter there should also be a connecting counter running along
the side of the projection room. This side counter will house the
sound system amplifier and switch (see appendix).
The projection room should house dimmer rheostat light switches
for the meeting room (with an on/off override at both the front
of the meeting room and at the entrance). There should be a small
wall mounted nonitor speaker in the projection room to check sound
levels in the meeting room. There should be a dimmer light switch
to control light level in the projection room itself.
The projection room should be on a separate heatindcooling
zone with neposate thermostat.
Electrical vire mold should be along the projection counters
and separate circuits should be provided for the amplifier/sound
systeae cued the projection equip.,ent.
3. Conference rooms - 500 square feet
Two separrte conference rooms, preferably square in share to
accommodate round tables -. o to be rzrt of the meeting room complex.
Each room.) should provide for. a !,in! mtnaof 12
persons at a table.
53
One wall of each room should contain a display chalk board and
display rails should be provided on at least two walls. Each room
should be entered off the lobby serving the major meeting room.
Within each room should be a sound speaker and a video nonitor,
e".�Ih 2;011cd f``fbn: a ^.ep=+i.".`o ,l' -`k c.t the am;llilfiLr and snitcher in
ti+e projection room.
It would be desirable if these two rooms, while sejL-)arate,
could be divided by a removable wall so that on occasion they could
become one large roots. However, it is imperative that when used
separately they have absolute sound separation and this requirement
may eliminate their possible use as one room.
4. 1•reeting room lobby - 200 square feet
The lame and small meeting rooms should be entered off a
public lobby which can also serve as an exhibit area. This lobby
should not only provide access to the public restrooms and direct
access; into the library circulation area but also provide alternative
direct access to the outside during the hours when the library is
closed. This may pose special problems in design due to the
probability of the raaeting rooms being located on another level
from the circulation axea and mates or semens may not adequately
direct a2ul control .library access. In the event double access is
nod; nos:cibl.� it• m+y 1'- mess='s`I to elirinate direct access to the
.library circulation entrance.
•'.00 sau re feet
public restrooms should be as unobbrut5ive as possible. Ideally
one set of public restroocs (with the exception of the single restroom
listed for children) would serve the library and meeting roams. If
the ,:-eting room ;Lose s problem results in SCT --rate areas not available
54
at a7.1 hours, sep,'rate restrooms for the meeting room complex and the
library may be necessary. It is the consultants experience that in the
majority of new public libraries the restrooms are larger than the need
requires. Careful review of local code requirements must be considered
in vici; of the no;- ally :min , =_l de : ,
,v.d for restroo;:w in a. li.Urary in
ralzctic❑ to th=:,7uarc of t!:e building.
The materials on the floor and walls of the restrooms should be
ceramic tile or sirnilzr hard glazed and easily maintained surface.
Each restroom should contain: required plumbing fixtures, floor dram,
mirrors, electric hand dr,/ers, shelf and coat hook units with rack for
books and briefcases. The women's restroom should provide for coin
operated sanitary napkin dispenser and disposal unit.
One handicapped stall rust be provided in each restroom.
L, Media Yrod.nction Room - 700 square feet
This is a separate room which ideally would be located in primary
public S,_-Pace adjacent to the Media desk, However, if the first floor
public -pace must be limited because of site or economic considerations
this room could be located in secondary space immediately and easily
accessible by public stair and elevator.
This room will be used by the public for the production of both
print and non-print m-erials, This will include taping cassettes
35mm slide production, laminati-g, duplicating, recording,etc,
The room will contain a series of counters with work stations for
a laminator, duplicator, folding nachine, collator, large type e t•
J P-
tixiter, and copy nachine. :-!-.ch of these stations will require a
senacatc electrical outlet. It would be highly desirable, but not
mandator; to have this room connect directly with the I4achinctiteproduction
room in the Technical processes area described below.'
55
Vor non -print slide and tape reproduction the room should contain
six work stations of approrinately 6' width along the walls. I'lire mold
Should be provided. along three walls and underfloor electrical conduit
should be placed under the ccllt - length of the room. Each work station
of 500 watt total per station,

Efficiency of operations would dictate that the administrative
offices be located in one complex and prudent planning should recognize
the demands that continued growth and an anticipated building life of
well over 20 years requires provision for offices for positions which
do not exist today. For the combined reasons of long-term administrative
efficiency and realistic minimum growth this program specifies
requirements for several offices in excess of present staff size.
The administrative area will house the library director, the
recommended position of assistant director for public services, the

PROPOSED PARKING FACILITY
Iowa City, Iowa
The construction cost figures and related information presented
herein are for your consideration in the development of the pro-
posed City parking facility in Iowa City. The information is
based upon recent projects of similar magnitude in or close to
Iowa City. The figures have been projected to reflect a March,
1977 bidding date.
For the purpose of comparison, we have chosen a 750 car facility,
3 bays wide, 300' - 0" long, with 4 levels of parking. The construc
tion cost figures are based upon a May 7, 1976 bid for a 750 car park-
ing facility for the University of Iowa. The final construction cost
for this facility was approximately $2700 per car.

'
Proposed Parking Facility
Iowa City, Iowa
The following construction costs can be used for preliminary budget
purposes in Iowa City:
A. Typical Open Air Facility at Grade $2,900/car ±
'
An open air facility by code definition is a parking
facility with not less than
50 percent of the exterior
area of two or more sides open on each tier.
B. Facililty over a One Level Commercial Area $3,500/car ±
An open air facility with approximately two thirds of
the grade level devoted to potential commercial area.
(Few
cars, if any, will be parked on grade.)
'
C. Enclosed Facility Above Grade $3,400/car ±
An enclosed facility is one that will not meet the
definition of an "open air facility". This facility
will require air exchange equipment and a sprinkler
system.
'
D. Underground Facility $5,000/car ±
An underground facility is completely below grade ex-
cept for the top level. This facility is totally en-
closed and requires full mechanical
and fire prevention
systems and extensive excavation requirements along
with structural retaining walls.
'
These figures include a 10% construction cost contingency for design,
which with proper functional and engineering control, can be held
to a minimum.

The cost figures are for a standard "self park" facility including
the design philosophy described herein. The facility has auto-
matic circulation, clear span construction, continuous ramps and
one way traffic. Passive security is also incorporated into the
facility with proper lighting and use of glass in pedestrian areas.
Items such as traffic flow, parking layout, site constraints, and
Physical configuration are directly related to parking efficiency.
A parking facility should have an efficiency of 310 to 320 square
feet per car. The efficiency is directly proportional to the cost
Per car. A facility with an efficiency of 340 square feet per car
Will cost approximately $200 per car more than a facility with an
efficiency of 320 square feet Per car.

Construction Cost &
Functional Philosophy
Proposed Parking Facility
Iowa City, Iowa
In developing a parking facility with its features and the various
items which add to a basic facility, we must explore three or four
different alternatives keeping the basic parking philosophy in mind.
In addition to meeting the known program requirements, a constant
effort must be made to optimize the building dollar through efficient
design and proper material selection. A design balance must be
achieved between function, economics and aesthetics.
Throughout the design of the parking facility, the emphasis must be
placed on a design for the driver, not the car. The primary "people"
concern is for the user to feel safe and comfortable throughout the
flow cycle from access street, parking, destination and back onto the
street system. The concern is not how many spaces can be placed in a
given facility, but how many parkers will safely and comfortably use
the spaces provided.
■ Safety and comfort are complimented by providing a "self -park" facility
' with automatic circulation, clear span construction, continuous ramps
and one-way traffic. These permit the motorist to store and retrieve
ihis own car while providing freedom from the physical hazards and
psychological hesitance of parking between columns and facing oncoming
traffic. It also means quick, convenient and direct access to the
' first available parking space in a continuous manner and a well defined
traffic flow.
' -5-
CARL WALKER U6 ASSOCIATES, Ilic,
Construction Cost &
Functional Philosophy
Proposed Parking Facility
Iowa City, Ionia
Automatic circulation is achieved through continuous ramping and
one-way traffic flow. The inbound motorist should ascend on a
gentle sloping, continuous, one-way ramp with angle parking on
both sides of the ramp. Downbound circulation should be accomplished
in a sloping floor system with parking available on both sides.
An alternate is to provide express ramps without parking. The
final choice must be based on the parking demand, existing street
traffic patterns, average daily traffic (ADT) counts on the streets,
and site restraints.
Security is a very real and important design concern. Active
se-curity measures - those requiring human response - such as fixed or
moving guards, closed circuit T.V. and audio monitoring should be
' recognized as program requirements. Passive surveillance -
the environment which serves creating
to deter criminal acts - should be de-
signed through conscientious attention to controlled entrances,
' elimination of hiding places, adequate lighting and
and elevators. glass wall stairs

Operating cost should be minimized throw
ruse of minimal maintenance materials 9h the careful attention to the
Durable and crack -free concrete,
Positive drainage, long-lasting mercury vapor lights, light switching
sequences and corrosion free metals are important considerations.

Construction Cost &
Functional Philosophy
Iowa City, Iowa
The facility should be appropriate in its aesthetic environment and
compliment the neighborhood while achieving its own identity. Mass-
ing and simplicity of the facility should always be considered.
Continuing the refinement process, precise drawings and specifications
must be developed to describe the facility for the construction pur-
poses and to assure economical and competitive bidding. The end re-
sult is an operational parking facility meeting the owner's require-
ments while providing a functional, economical and aesthetically pleas-
ing facility.

Dear Mr. Berlin:
Subject: IA 22_2
Iowa City, Iowa
Old Capitol Associates
Section 23 HAP Program
In letters dated December 16, 1975, and.January 9, 1976, our office outlined the
various- alternatives available to Old Capitol Associates pursuant to the nedtruc-
tion of the project. A deadline of January 23, 1976, was given to Old Capitol
Associates to provide us a feasible mortgage insurance application for the project.
They were not able to do this and on January 19, 1976, informed us that they had
filed an application to Washington for direct financing under Section 202.
In a letter dated February 4, 1976, we informed your City that its best chance for
getting more subsidized housing would be through the Section 8 Housing Assistance
Payments Program since the Section 23 Program had been discontinued.
We regret it was not possible to get this project to construction and would again
like to encourage your City to continue efforts, as it has in the past, to obtain.
housing under the Section 8 Program.
By this letter we are rescinding our "Notification of Application Approval" dated
April 2, 1975. The reserved Funds will be recaptured and your "Annual Contributions
Contract" with the Department for this project will be canceled. Funds expended for
expenses according to the terms of the ACC will not be affected by this recapture.

What .i,a all env.inonmentaf aevieto tecohd and why do we have to maintain .them?
An environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement (lils)
is a report resulting from a thorough critiqueing of a project's relation-
ship to its environment. The environmental review process records, for the
"executive officer -- CDBG applicant," the decision making steps which lead
to the "level of clearance" decision (determination of whether an environ-
mental assessment or EIS is required), and documents all studies and
considerations carried out to comply with the Federal environmental
requirements. In Iowa City, Federally funded projects are currently being
planned to improve the living environment of low and moderate income residents.
'hese projects are funded udder the Housing and Community Development Act of
1974 (IICDA) through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Like most
federal actions or legislation, this act must comply with the National
lnvironmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and environmental reviews must be
completed. In CDBG the responsibility has been passed down to city level, and
in Iowa City Neal Berlin, as City Manager and chief executive officer, when
accepting the grant,assured federal officials that all CDBG programs,and
their effect on the environment,would be monitored.
17ne review is a detailed report evaluating thoroughly all impacts --
beneficial vs. adverse, short -tern vs. long-term, direct vs. indirect,
social, physical, and aesthetic -- a project will place on its environment.
The procedures can be carried out in unison with the project plans by
documenting all issues considered and the sources of data on which decisions
were made -- after all, good planning of a project would include consideration
of all environmental issues -- or the environmental review can be looked on
as an extraneous burden requiring massive infusion of time and effort. Even
though project directors develop project plans to the best of their ability,
the critiquing process of the environmental review process may uncover an
overlooked adverse impact that might be minimized if planned for properly.
The environmental review process provides procedures for critiquing the
project's design by evaluating its relationship to the environment.

By Ken Dzugan
Cities across the country are strug-
gling with the environmental assess-
ment and environmental impact
statement responsibilities delegated
to them under the community devel-
opment block grant program. For
many, It's a first attempt to grapple
with the National Environmental
Policy Act.
Indications are that one of the
biggest problem areas for small and
medium sized cities is adequate doc-
umentation of findings for proposed
projects, especially when a finding is
that the project presents no signifi.
cant environmental problem. An-
other difficult area is in developing
adequate alternatives. Still another
is dealing with specific environ-
mental issues such as noise impacts,
degradation of air and water qual-
ity which couldresultfrom a proj-
ect and infringement on historic
environments.
If any of the above sounds famil-
iar, read on.
St. Paul, - Minnesota, has devel-
oped an environmental assess t

of the decisions and procedures, as ni
well as the documentation itself, of
offer detailed guidance to other as
planners in dealing with the envi-
ronmental review process. This ar- e
ticle describes the environmental a
assessment process developed by St. -r
Paul.
The pupulntion of St. Paul is ia
about 300,000. The city's CD hold c
harmless allocation currently is al- i
most $19 million, and it is scheduled
to decrease to about $4 million by I
1980. The major activities of the
city using its CD funds are physical
development, human services and
economic development.
Early this year, St. Paul was chos-
en by the Chicago HUD regional
office as one of the sample of cities.
to be audited under the CD program.
The HUD area office stated that in
St. Paul "one of the most outstand-
ing areas of performance has been
in the environmental review proc-
ess. Documentation was well orga
nized and reviews reflect a high de-
gree of professionalism." The audi-
tor said that the city's environment-
al records were the most complete
she had seen.
HUD regulations.. Th a Corn-munity De-
velopment Act of 1974 authorized
HUD to delegate to local govern-
ments its responsibilities for envi-
ronmental review of projects pro-
posed under the program. As a re
suit, HUD has given little guidance
on the subject of CD environmental
reviews, and it is maintaining a dis-
tance as .well. However, HUD must
have on file an acceptable environ-
mental certification before releasing
funds for a given project. Before
funds to go ahead can be released,.
the assessment must conclude that
any given project will not signifi-
cantly affect the environment.
HUD's guidelines can be sum-
marized as follows. An environment-
al impact statement (EIS) is re-
quired when a project is an action
which may significantly affect the
environment. This was further de-
fined as being projects involving 500
or more dwelling units and water
and sewer projects which would
serve 100 acres or more of currently
undeveloped land.
For. projects determined neither
to have a significant impact on the
environment nor to be of sufficient
size, an environmental assessment
will suffice.
so determines the degree of sig-
ficance of the impacts. The result
nn assessment is a determination
to whether an EIS is required.
An EiS is a detailed study of the
nvironmental impacts of a project,
lternatives to it and methods for
—
educing adverse imPActa. '
The environmental review process
the complete process which In-
ludes the assessment and, where
mpacts are significant, the EIS. -
The vague guidelines offered by
IUD for CD environmental reviews
did not seem sufficient to us as a
basis for regular operation In St.
Paul. The city planning office held
conversations with HUD officials to
gain further insights. Also, we re-
ferred to the state environmental
policy act and the state pollution
control agency regulations, under
which the city must operate as well.
As a result, St. Paul's own guide-
lines can be summarized as follows.
If n project is not in violation of
the more specific HUD 'internal
guidelines issued in 1971 providing
for the agency's compliance with
NEPA (HUD Circular 1390.1), nor
does it violate either state program's
criteria, it can be considered to have
no significant environmental impact.
scope of review. City policy: was to
limit any projects for first year CD
funding which would require an
EIS. This was done for two reasons.

alternatives to the project and meth-
ods for reducing adverse impacts. It

HUD must have an
acceptable certification
before releasing funds.
An EIS requires substantially more
time than an assessment, and the
time requirements would have de-
layed funding of any such project
for nearly the first full year of CD.
Also, we were hesitant to get in-
volved in two different newenviron-
mental procedures, assessment and
the EIS, at once. Thus, .we elim-
inated any projects from proposed
first year funding which appeared
-
to have potential severe adverse en-
vironmental consequences or to re-
quire an EIS.
Also, to expedite our funding, we
took advantage of the flexibility
HUD offered to review projects sep-
arately or as groups of related proj-
ects. We chose the lutter. It is im-
portant to assess each project chos-
en in adequate detail to make a

The above list appears on a sheet
called CD project environmental re-
view check list. It is, in effect, a
master key to each project file. As
an action is taken and the appropri-
ate memo or report filed, the check-
list is marked. At all limes, it pro-
vides the staff with it current indica-
tion of the status of review of any -
given project.
The CDE-1 form really is it de-
tailed memo, and it is prepared by
the operating agency in charge of
the proposed project. It is the real
starting point for the environmental
assessment process. it is published
here.
The matrix of environmental pa-
rameters is another type of check-
list, and it is a major tool used by
the planning staff to check and co-
ordinate the rest of the documenta-
fire, health, public transit and social, fraternal facili-
ties and programs serving the site and area. Describe
the facilities, location, responsible body and the rela-
tion of capacity to existing demand for the facilities.
b. What changes would this project make on the de-
mand for these facilities?
c. List and describe employment, centers and commer-
cial facilities servicing site. List major employment
centers in vicinity and major employment locations of
project area residents. How accessible are these cen-
ters to residents of the project vicinity?
d. What changeswouldthis project make on employ-
ment patterns?
e. Describe the social characterof the project site,
project neighborhood, and general planning district.
Describe socioeconomic and racial and ethnic charac-
teristics of the site and neighborhood. What are the
income levels, employment rates, and educational char-
acteristics of the general planning district?
f. Describe the social characteristics of the project site
at completion. -
g. What differences kill occur in the socioeconomic
characteristics of the population of the project site
upon completion of the project?
3. Aesthetic environment
a. Describe any.special natural or manmade features
of the project site or its vicinity.
b. Describe any special scenic areas or views affordable
from the project site or vicinity.
c. Identify historic and aesthetically important build-
ings or sites in the vicinity of the project area or at
the project site.
d. Describe the style, ape, design of structures and cir-
culation patterns in the project site or its vicinity.
How do these complement the general area and his-
toric or aesthetically important buildings or sites in
the area.
c. Indicate which of these would be removed or altered
by the project.
f. Include, if possible, dratcings or photographs of the
project site and neighborhood showing both before and
after project implementation.
E. Identify, any changes to the following which will occur
or are planned for the project or project site. Check if
a change is to occur and describe below.
tion file. By reading the CDE-1 and
all other forms through number
seven, the planning department staff
fills out the matrix. The comments
checked thus reflect the opinions of
the various parties doing partial re.
views. It is through use of:this ma-
trix that we can spot, discrepancies.
The matrix lists 45 items, and it
provides a check off column which
ranks each item by type of environ-
mental effect.
The process. Once all the procedural
and organizational. questions were
addressed, we developed our review
process. We found that assembling
all of the necessary information was
a major task. It was at this -stage
that we saw that the planning staff
could not assemble all required in -

probably were not the most qualified
to do so. A decision was made to en-
list the aid of the operating agencies
and the CDE-1 form is filled out by
them. The noise review and the his-
toric review are conducted by the
Planning office.
The simplest way to display initial
information for assessing these im-
pacts was to have the St. Paul hous-
ing and redevelopment authority
prepare a mylar overlay showing
project areas. Thin was superim-
posed on maps of historically or ar-
chitecturally significant sites and on
maps of possible noise impacted
areas. The overlay. also served to
identify those projects which had
contiguous or overlapping boun-
daries. Thus, it also identified those
projects for which interproject ef-
fects should be considered.
The map of historic sitrs was pre-
pared by planning staff using sites
on the National Registry of Historic
Places, a list of historic places pre-
pared by the Minnesota Historical
Society and a list previously pre-
pared from city surveys. This was
supplemented by additional field sur-
vey work in areas targeted for ex --

Using the map with the overlay pro-

projects which might impact his-
toric sites. Also it allowed us to de-
termine that all other projects would
not impact historic sites.
Noise. The work to identify noise
impacted project areas was neces-
sary because both HUD and the
Minnesota pollution control agency
have regulations for allowable noise
levels based on types of land use.
The HUD standards identify the
following categories of noise accept-
ability: acceptable, discretionary
and unacceptable. Within discretion-
ary there are normally acceptable
and normally unacceptable.
Few noise measurements were
available in the project'areas, but
fortunately HUD did have guidance
available. It provided help in pre-
liminary identification of noise im-
pacted zones due to aircraft, rail-
ways and roadways. Maps were pre-
pared of the noise impacted areas
for each of the categories to use
with the project areas overlay. A
substantial part of St. Paul is in
noise zones labeled unacceptable or.
discretionary/ normally unaccepta-
ble. Field surveys using a noise me-
ter demonstrated that for St. Paul
the HUD noise assessmentguide
lines substantially overpredicted the
size of the noise impacted -zones.
Through our surveys; the size of the
noise impacted zones was reduced:

Information gathering. The most effec-

groups of project administrators to
describe the process and to answer
questions. This method developed
