--..... .ate J�-civities - Weekly Progress 1. Following is a listing of Urban D-- Activities carried out this week: a. Met with two Land Marketing Consultants. Familiarized them with our present situation. Discussed their observations. Requested that they present preliminary proposals. b. Completed the HUD Annual Physical Progress Report. C. Contacted our contract appraisers' and advised them of the status of Block 101, following Council action 'ILesday night. Also, discussed with them the methods we would follow in obtain' new re -use appraisals for LPA land. i d. Have,had the contract with Viggo Jenson Construction Co. rewritten to incorporate the changes required by the Council Tuesday night. e. Completed outline of job requirements Renewal. and staffing needs for Urban City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM - DATE: July 16,'1976 TO: Neal Berlin, City Manager FROM: Dennis E. Showalter, Director of Parks 6 Recreation RE: Pond Bank Stabilization - Large Pond,City Park I recommend that we stabilize approximately 700 feet of the pond bank (all but the southern portion of.the pond) by using grass paver blocks. The Park crew has devised`a stake to hold the blocks in place. The, approximate costs are $8,800 for the blocks and $3,200 for grading, soil, stakes, grass seed, willowtrees and miscellaneousexpenses, totalling $12,000. The Park maintenance crew can probably complete the project this fall.' I do not think it is practical to try 'to dredge the pond at this time. I have contacted a number of people in Des Moines about the possibility of pumping a slurry of silt and pond water into.the river and there is no chance that we could get a permit to do this. Dredging will be expensive and unsightly; the Engineers estimate it would cost $45.000. Gordon Russell thinks it would cost close to $100,000 to dredge out all of the silt, which is approximately 5 feet- deep. 'If we would dredge the ,pond, there would then be the problem of what to do with the silt. If we would use it to fill the smaller pond, it would take a long time to dryout and wouldprobablybe odor -causing as well as unsightly. Any other method of removal will be expensive. The maximum water depth of the pond is'5� feet at present and the average depth is approximately 311 feet. This is probably deep enough to successfully raise certain kinds of fish, such as catfish,.,for a fishing program.If.a fishing-- program � to really be successful and beneficial, it will be necessary to fence the pond to control access, stock the pond, .and cater to the groups who need this kind of recreational experience — kids, senior citizens, S.P.I., etc.' A desirable side benefit of the fence would be increased safety, both in the summer and in the winter. Last winter, the large pond was a valuable community asset as we had skating for 52 days starting on December 18. This consisted of 31 consecutive days, a one day break and:2L consecutive days. I have asked Jen Madsen, Jim Lindberg, and Ocie Trimble to assist us next year as an Ice Skating Advisory Committee. We will strive for a high level of surface quality any time the ice.is of sufficient thickness. to support public ice skating. If the pond water depth is�increased, - it will take longer for the water to give up its heat in the winter,' possibly reducing the number of ace skating days. /ef 1��3 • � �.. yr, to i � G..� v ...:1 f .7 G t DATE: ' .July 14, 1976 TO: City Council k FROhl Dennis R. kraft, Director, Department of Comnuntity Development RE: Relocation responnibilities for the Clinton Street Mall -tenants infor:ation on this subject was obtained from both the YY C rcvi::ed Relocation Handbook published in Febrnnry of 1975 (Relocation (landbook 1371.1 Rev.) and the earlier addition, of the Relocation landbook which was in effect at the time of the construction andtheleasing of the Clinton Street Mall. Because of the time period of this project, it appears as though applicable regulations from each of these sources do apply. Where conflicts do exist, there is a necessary - -- interpretation which has to be made. The other major source of information for this memo was ream the enrrespendence files to the various tenants at the time the leases were signed for the Clinton Street Mall. The initial relevant interpretation which needs to be made is one of wbuther the Clinton Street .loll is, in fact, a temporary relocation resource. One -needs -only to Look at the Urban Renewal budget and the correspondence to HUD to get this answer. The amendment to the Urban Renewal budget on November 2, 1972 indicates the temporary nature of this facility. The "additions to Exhibit viii, Part 2 Application for Loan and Grant:" Js titled "Temporary Buildings for Temporary Relocation". This is also consistent with the varions discissions held by the Staff with both HUD and the City Council during the latter part of 1972. The original :intent appears to be qVi c clear, i.e., this was considered atr:.;porary.. relocation facility. At that time, the projected life of the facility was described as "the expected life of the Urban Renewal project". The financing plan iwhich was drawn up at that time anticipated that revenues from the project were to be received until -parch 31, 1976. At that Lime, it was assumed that the Urban Renewal project was to be closed out, and that the modular units were then going to be sold by the City. The relevant factor here is that the period of use was expected to be in excess of one year, and this was approved by HUD. z ; ity council .July 14, 1976 _ Page 2 - Soon :, ftCr the modular UniI5 Were OCCUI)i C(l, a. .11rOop 1xnqwn as the '.

Pa,'agrnph (A)(3) of this Section explicitly States that a. tt•oCc to a temporary location doesnotdiminish the responsibility of the City to provide for relocation to a permanent site. Paragraph 2-26(P) states, "..• when the novo ouL of temporary accommodations is,nade, the displaced person shall receive thefullrelocation pavnuents to rahi.ch he is entitled under the Uniform Act and IIUD regulations". Paragraph 2-28(A) -states, ""fhc local agency shall continue to provide assistance i City' Council .ltely_14, 1976 pa Ne to c ... business concern until permanunt relocation has horn SUCCCssfully achir_ved Nott all relocation payments loads.. Another section speci.l'ically relevant to the Iowa City situation is Paragraph 2-29 of these regulations which specifically addresses the cquestion of cvletion ;1s it affects relocation. '171is;paragraph nuliraLes that eviction Prom properly -'owned by the local agency in no way arferts ulinil) iHty for relocation payments: 171is does not in any way iedi.cate that the LPA cannot evict a tenant; it merely indicates that the eviction procoecling does not relieve the City of the afore -mentioned relocation 'requirements.: This also does notaffect the eligibili-ty for relocation payrients which. woicld Otherwise be granted. 'file releases from claims which wcre'signcd by the various origi.nal tenants of the Clinton Street Mall at the time of the move into the Mall stated "LPA will pay cost of permanent move". It Is important at this point to make the distinction between the relocation requirenents confronting the City for. Mall tenants who were displaced by Urban Renewal action; -versus those who, later mored into the 61a1L of tlecir Oran volition. 7t is our position that tile City docs not have any relocation responsibilities for those tenantS 1•:110 later moved into the project, and also that the City does not have any relocation responsibilities for those businesses which have been subsequently, sold by tilt original Urban renewal.,displacoes. In those, latter mentioned incidents, the provisions of the contract between the City and thc.various tonants govern: In conclusion, it is our position that both relocation assistance and nayments_wiII be retluired 'for a]I tenantswho have moved .into .tile :4n 1.1 es a result Or being. displaced From LPA au:quired..prnpertv.. as A result of thban Renc- al action.

It appears that the preselected site mentioned in paragraph b could be, a viable approach. Until we receive our FY -77 funds, we will not be able to make a final determination on that alternative. We"suggest that you con- tact us after October 15, 1977, when we hopefully will know our funding capability. _ - Sincerely, Na a Ruben Di or i" l ILW5 . .,. •. r („�• \ �,�•/�/_) civic cl.

As you know we are intheprocess of developing comprehensive plan for what we call the Iowa River Corridor; I believe the Johnson County; Planning ,and Zoning Commission has copies of the three-phase Iowa River Corridor Study prepared for us by Stanley Consultants. In these studies, the idea of: the River:Corri.dor is developed and expounded in detail. One thing which -is very clear is -that construction in the floodplain is always hazardous and, in the past, has frequently been; positively harmful. ;The many agencies whose jurisdiction overlaps with regard.to the -floodplain -have not.always found it easy to cooperate for the mutual'- benefit of all: 'therefore, the, purpose of this letter is -to convey to you our opposition to further construction `anywhere ,in the Iowa River floodplain, pending the working out and;.coordinated adoption of standards and regulations governing possible- .construction in that most sensitive of areas. In the past our Commission has enjoyed your cooperation and has tried to reciprocate.

Rohlf dull•, 1976 xo-'0",i;�O;r In the process of identifying library sites which would best serve the present and future needs of the Iowa City com.-ttnity over twenty separate sites wero evaluated. In consideration of the program requirements accepted 1,.p the library board, and in view of the long term efficiencies of public service and staff costs, ;it is our 1eCOLmenda- tion that in the new library building all public spaces be located on a single ground floor level, We recommend therefore that the.library acquire a site in Block 64 of sufficient size to accommodate a minimum ground floor building size of 35,000 Square -feet. In view of potential set back requirenents, vehicle access and minimal short term parking needs we recommend a library site of approximately 4.5,000 square feet in Block 64, UNIVERSITY VAC LEAP HA -L OF IOWA O -O CAPITOL SCHAEFFER- HALL L- I G �: �iA v✓:RC1 ✓A✓C•YC �'•' AREA l:. •+1 LPA L'!

Libraries, like many public buildings, must serve for a number of decades and can use every possible advantage to insure that the library's full public service potential is realized and maintained. The location of the library and its relationship to the present and future social, transportation and business patterns will have a direct effect on the extent which the general community'xill make use of its library resources. Convenience of access will build up the volume of use and this greater volume will decrease the per user cost of service. The basic requirement in selecting the best possible site which is common to all the literature on the subject is that a public library should be as accessible as possible to the greatest number of users. Potential locations can be evaluated in much the same way that a businessman -would study desirable retail sites. In general sites in parks, in governmental or cultural centers, in residential areas or on secondary streets should be avoided. For most cities the greatest attractor of people is the central business district. While there may be competition from area shopping centers, the basic criteria for location are best satisfied by a central business district location: 1. An area frequently visited by all segments of the community' during daily activities. 2. On a busy primary street, preferably at anOteraec'tion. 3. In a dense pedestrian traffic area. 1}. Close to public transportation and parking. 5. At street level. In other communities the construction of a now public library in the central business district has provided the keystone to an urban renewal project. Minneapolis is one such example where the library served as a catalyst "or many millions of dollars in private construction. I ori10DOLo Planning, zoning, and traffic reports and maps were reviewed. In 14ay of 1976 the consultants inspected potential sites and reviewed and updated the information available in discussions with the mayor, city manager, city planners, traffic engineer, transit director and library staff. A list of potential sites was then assenbled and a number eliminated due to their failure to meet minimum requirements in one or more essential categories. The remaining sites were then rated on twelve basic criteria and a ranking of desirability established. A bibliography giving the basic sources used to determine the criteria has been attached. RFVIM4 OF POTFIMAL SITES An important new condition which was learned in the Mlay meetings with city officials was the fact that court action had stayed the Iowa City Urban Renewal Project R-14 progress and that the City Council was reviewing the entire plan. There was a concensuz on the part of all sources that this was a very appropriate time to investiC to the possibility of a new library location within ttre central business district redevelopment area. 2 Since there are a number of acceptable sites in the thirteen blockn under redevelonment, the first review focused within this area with the exception of tWO other locations, the existing Post office property at Linn and ;d«:,hi.ngton and the south or western half of present library block bounded by Linn, College, Burlington and Gilbert. These sites were included because both have been discussed as possible sites by sources within the city. IZirther evaluation eliminated the following property or areas within the redevelopnent project from further consideration. 1. The "University Iiall" or super block (Flocks 84 & 83) was elininated on the basis that this area is essential to the redevelopment plan and the subsequent improvement to the entire central business district. 2. The five blocks south of Burlington are removed from the high volume pedestrian area and Burlington as the principal and growing traffic artery within the city on the east side of the - river will constitute a barrier both physical and psycholoo c:l to the desired ease of access. 3. Blocks 95 and 92 to the west of the "University Nall" area were eliminated since this prop =rty is a part of the University Part of the project and is removed from the total central business district retail activity. 4. Blocks 81 and 82 were eliminated on the basis that existing commercial property, current private development, and the historic value of the CollcGo Block precluded the acquisition of enough property for a library site. The remaining sites for final evaluation are located in: Bloc]: 65, Block 64, 3 Existing Post Office property, S4 quarter of existing library Block. Each of the sites were evaluated on the following rating sheet using twelve criteria. Each criteria was rated on a scale of 0-4: Unacceptable - 0, Poor - 1, Fair- 2, Good - 3, Superior - 4. One unacceptable was sufficient cause to be eliminated from further consideration. /after each criteria is an assigned relative weight in parentheses. The total weighted score determined the ranking of the sites. The highest score possible was 400. An additional bonus of 40 points (10% of the highest possible weighted score) was given to sites which are owned or in the process of being acquired by the city. A. Site size (value 15) of: less than 27,999 square feet Unacceptable (0) 28,000 to 29,999 square feet Poor (1) 30,000 to 36,999 square feet Fair (2) 37,000 to 46,999 square feet Good (3) 47,0001 square feet Superior (4) The size is the most important factor with the irreducible minimum being established by the determination of space needed from the building program. In this project 28,000 square feet is the irreducible minimum. B. Vehicle access from outside central business district (Value 10). C. Proximity to central business district mass transit points (Value 10). D. Pedestrian access within central business district (Value 10). E. Site proportion and shape (Value 10), F. Access to available or plaruied paxking (Value 10). C. Proxinity to existing or potential drawing influences (Value 10), H. Lack of nuisance factors (Value 5), I. Identification/Do:aination of site (Value 5), J. Aesthmtic appearance of site (Value j), K. Potential enhancement to immediate area (Value .5). L.

Ei CONCLIISIONS , AND RECOI-IONDATIONS Although all final evaluated sites fulfilled the irreducible ninimun square foot requu.rement of 28,000 the available area did play a role in the, final evaluation, Th` Post Office property (#5) and the Sr quarter of Block 65 (#0 were considered as being at their maximum size chile the library Block site (#6) and the Block 64 sites (//2, .13, and #4) could be enlarged beyond the 30,000 - 32,000 square feet common to all final sites. The latter three have a real advantage in the fact tat the property is already owned by the city, could be expanded in size and the library plan could and should be coordinated with the development of the entire block.. This would permit some adjustment to the area used for library purposes. It should core as no surprise that the four sites (#1, /12, #3, #4) within the redevelopment area scored substantially higher than the two sites outside the area, although in the ^ase of site #41 the subtotal score before the additional credit for city ownership is only 25 points higher than the score for the SW Quarter of the library Block #6, The Post Office site, 115, has a substantial number of real liabilities for library use. Its orientation to the present and planned activity in the central business district as compared to the other five sites eliminated this location from further consideration. The library Block site #05 and the SE portion of Blocs: 64 (Site s14) are comparable in many ways and are far superior to the PcGt Office property but should not be. considered further unless the other sites in Block 64 become unavailable. The top sites in Blocks 64 and 65 all contribute to as well as take advantage of the existing redevelopment pl:ui.

Johnson County Growth 1 I 1 1 1 I 1 Chapter I: POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS OF IOWA CITY HISTORIC BACKGROUND When Iowa City's first census was taken in 1850, therewere 1,250 residents. The city's growth was stimulated by com- pletion of the railroad; as well as Iowa -City's --position as state capital. By 1860, the population had grown to'5,200. The major portion of this growth occurred before 1857 when the_capital moved to Des Moines. Growth then slowedisub- s,tantially, influenced by this factor,' a= temporary closing of the university (1858-60, due to lackof funds), and the Civil War. During the next ten years less than 700 people were added.to the population, and the growth rate continued to be moderate until 1940, at which time the population was 17,182. The 1950 census recorded a second major increase in popula- tion. However, this was the first time students enrolled at the University of Iowa were included in the population'count. From 1950 to 1974 the,.population grew 75.5%, from 27,212 to 47,744, largely influenced by rapid university expansion (see Figure 1). This growth 'rate was almost twice the national rate. Figure 2 shows Iowa City's growth in comparison�to the state and nation. POPULATION COUNT AGE AND SEX CHARACTERISTICS The 1970 population of Iowa City was 46,850; it increased by 1.9% to 47,744 in 1974. A good portion of the Iowa City Population is concentrated in the city's central areas. As Figure 3 -illustrates', the older areas of,the-city have`main- tained population density. In 1970, 51.3% of"the city's residents were female. The median age of Iowa City residents was 23.1 years in 1970; 22.9 for males, 23.2 for females. In 1974, the proportion of females in the population decreased to 50.6%. The median age rose to 23.4 years; 23.3 for males, 23.6 for females. The median age for the state of Iowa was 21.5 years in 1970. It is interesting to note that ' predominantly young population, years older than for the state in Iowa City, which has a the median age was almost two as a whole. This is explained 1.z FIGURE 1 ' IOWA CITY POPULATION 1900-1974 POPULATION - (thousands) ' 60 50 41965 Special Census "1974 Special Census 47,744 •' ' •46,850 40 -*41.60 2 i• i •'•33,443 30 _ _ •• '27,212 t• 20 ' 17,182 - '• 15,340 ••z67 •,r •11..••09.. tt, ' 1111•• 10.091 7,987 .. 0. 1900 1910 1920 1930 1940 1950 1960.= 1970 -,1980 ' YEAR POPULATION GROWTH IOWA CITY_ IOWA UNITED. -STATES YEAR Total Percent Total Percent Total' Peicent: Population Change*, Population Change* Population'__ Ch;nge'�` 1900 7,987 13.8 2,231,853 16.0 ': 76;212,168. 21.0,,. 1910 10,091 26.3 2,224,771 -0 3,,., 92,228,496;" 1920 11,267 11.7 2,404,021 8.1 j 106,021,537 15.0.'' 1930 15,340 36.1 2070,939 2.8 .- 123,202,624 16.2 1940 17,182 12.0 2,538,268: 2.7 132,1641:569• 7.3 1950 27,212 58.4 2,621,073.3.3 151,325,798. 14.5- 1960 33,443 22.9 2,757,537 5 2,, 179,3239175`. 1970 46,850 40.1 2,824,376 2.4 2031211,926 13.3 1974 47,744 1.9 2,855,000** 211,909,000** 1900-74 497.7 27.'9-:. 178..0: 1950-74 75.5 .8-9 *Percent of change from preceding census. **Estimate July 1, 1974..

The 1970 Iowa City population of children under nine was only 15.3% compared with 18;2% for the state." The difference between the percentage of 10- to 19 -year-olds in " ' the population of Iowa City and the state as a whole was only 0.1%. However, it may be noted that 18- and 19 -year-olds area among the college age population. The distribution: of children ' e in Iowa City is depicted in Figure 4 by area of the city. This map illustrates the percentage of Iowa City's children living;: in particular areas of the city. The .eastern region of the city, Areas II" and III, is the residence of the largest portion, ' of the city's children, followed by the downtown ",;Area I, and western Area VIII. -Not-surprising is the.:influence-.of"the'20- ' to 24 -year-olds, the largest group,(23.7%;of the,'population), in determining the city's age composition. Persons from"15-24 years of age Comprised 47% of the city's total population in 1970 (in 1974 they comprised 52%). The population in the'15-34 age range increased 11.7% from 1970 to 1974,:while the.'total population increased 1.9%; this age group includes a majority of students (see Figure 5). Senior citizens made up 6.6% of the 1970 city population and 6.3% of the 1974 population. This figure is considerably smaller than the percentage of,elderly in;the population state- wide; 16.9% of the 1970 Iowa population were over 60 years old. About.one-third of the 1970 Iowa City elderly population was concentrated in the downtown area of the city. 'Figure 6 shows e the proportion of the elderly population .in each area of:the city. (See Appendix.,2 for additional age -sex distribution figures.)- ' MOBILITY High mobility is another prominent characteristic of the Iowa, City populace. In 1970, only 27%:of the population five years and older were residing in the.same house as in 1965. Approx- imately -46% had lived in a different county, 17% in a.different ' state. 65% of the Iowa City population were born in Iowa, 30% in another U.S. state. The percentage of persons who,- moved between 1965 and 1970 was not uniform across the city:: Figure 7 shows the percentage who moved from each area. When.inter- preting this data, one should note that.Area VI was largely students (dormitories on both sides of the.river are included) ' and that parts of Area V were developed after 1965. Many apartment complexes are located in.the eastern portion :of Area VISI. MINORITIES The minority population in Iowa"City was '.small.

' The number of students at the -university__almost'.quadrupled between 1930 and 1974; the greatest:increase,:86.6%,:occurred in the decade between the 1959 60 and'1969-70'sch661 years.': Male enrollment experienced its -increase ' greatest (79%.) between 1940 and 1950, twenty years'before.,growth,of`female: enrollment reached its peak; female'.enrollment increased only '31% during this period.

'Female enrollment grew 124% during this time,,"however:,:;a Targe increase,: 68%, in male enrollment, also occurred:: the univer- ' si"ty student population in 1970.(falT;semester).',was stili_ overwhelmingly male: 61% of university students were male, only 39% were female. 73.7% of university students were:Iowa., - residents' 24% from ' came other states,; and 2.3% were foreign students. The student population had a significant influence on the ' character of the downtown area as they'.represented a large portion of the area residents. The;aocation of the. two -major.; dormitory areas in the vicinity of:the ,downtown,caused a large - ' concentration of students in enumeration districts 29 (91.4%.-- _ of the district population) and 38:(76.3%:of-:the district population). Fieures 19 and 20 illus,Ifrate that, although a ' sizeable portion.:of;the downtown area residents were students, the southeast and western portions of.Iowa City also housed large numbers of -students. ,The location of the Mayflower Apartments (occupied almost exclusively by students) and fraternity ' and sorority houses" -in districts 26, 30 and':33'help. explain the somewhat surprising number, of students in `this area: EMPLOYMENT CHARACTERISTICS ' The Iowa City work force increased 192% between J-,40 and 1970, while the population grew 163% during the.same'period.

The largest group'of workers by industry were in the professional and related ' services--54:8% of the work force in 1970.Educational services represented the largest subgroup, employing 31.4% of all men and 34..8% of all women in the labor force. The ' hospital and health services subgroup was the second largest employer of women (Zl.l%) and the third largest of men (10.2%). Wholesale and retail trade employed 29:'9% of all men and 16.7% of all women, while manufacturing accounted for.only 6. 5% of ' all Iowa City jobs.

The ,data regarding-white be misleading as=a sub- ' collar employment, however, tends .to. stantial part of, white collar employment (36:5%)'was clerical and sales, having neither the .salary nor pres-iige usually associated with white collar workers.-,.Although women repre- ' sented 69% of the, white collar' workers, only 38.5% o'$ the professional, technical and managerial workers were women (68.7% of the clerical and sales workers were women),.,,-'..

However, wover 10,000, Iowa City's median family income was 'among the lowest ones. Figure nes. Fissure 26 compares the family income groups as presented in the past three.census,years. Between 1950;and 1970, the number of families in the lower :income groups decreased sub- stantially, while there were very large increases in the higher income groups. However, it should be. noted that the cost of living rose by about 61% between 1950.and 1970. (In 1950 -1 -the -consumer pr -ice index was--72.1,..while_in..1970 it reached 116.3; the base year index of 100 was 1967.,) University of Iowa student families represented:a large portion of the total number of Iowa City families and a:substantial number -of -these families had limited economic resources. In 1970, 4,473 male students at the University. of Iowa'were married; 1,563 female students were married; however, the number of female students married to male students is unknown. No distinction is possible between low'income siudents.:and nonstudent families, or between student families where -the. spous.. e held a full time job and where both were students..:. Thus..... -: ,.there is.._little.information regarding the effect-of� student families on family income statistics. Since almost three -times as many male students as female students were, married, it may be assumed that at least two-thirdssof the: male -students were married to nonstudents who were in the— labor force. (A small number may have been' students elsewhere or ;not in the labor force for other reasons.) The effect on family income level was basically that of having a large number of women as primary wage earners, which tends to lower the average income. (See pages 1.31 and 1.37.for discussion of male and female wage levels.) It must also lie noted that the employment of -highly educated professionals (i.e.,pro- fessors) by the university tends to adjust ;the average income upward.

(See Figure 3,) As a result, the gap between male and female median earnings has increased ' significantly; in 1960 male median earnings were 68.9% higher than female median whereas in earnings, 1970 they were 82.8% higher.

Nationally, 49.8% of alT household.- lived in the same house in 1965 and 1970; 52..1% in the region. In the university communities, this figure was considerably lower, ranging from 24 to 35q of all households. (See Figure 1.) ' College students comprised 25 to 460 of the population in these cities; the actual number of students ranged from 11,776 students in Fort Collins to 19,649 students in Bloomington. Additionally, students ' represented a substantial portion of-: the counties, populations. The populations varied from 14.9% who were students in Larimer County (Fort Collins)i,'Colorado', to 27.10 , who were students in Douglas County (Lawrence), Kansas. Iowa City and Johnson County both had the third smallest percentage of students in the population, 30.M an& 22.3% respectively, in 1970. ' (See Figures 2 and 3.) The median years of schooling completed by the peopleof j Iowa City was relatively high, even ' compared with other university- centered cities. (See Figure 3.) In 1970, the median years,. Of schooling on both the regional and national levelsiwas 1.2.1. The lowest median for the cities was 12.8 years of: schooling, whereas 14.0 , years was the median in Iowa City. Although a large portion of university students were excluded because of their youth (under 25 years old), the level of education of , university personnel as well as the availability--of' -.educational: Opportunity tended to produce a populace with a.higher median of schooling. In addition to the university, Iowa City also has a university-related hospital which serves as;a ' statewide medical center and a Veterans Administration hospital,: both of which employ many highly educated persons. -Other educational indicators portray Iowa City as similar to other university. towns;. The ' percentage of persons 25 years and older with a' college degree was considerably for greater these seven cities than;for the region or the nation. The Tabor force in university communities is typically, composed of a larger percentage of women and also,of white'' workers. As illustrated in Figure 4, Iowa ' City-had-the.larges.t_percentage of women in the work force in 1970, and the third smallest - percentage (63.6%) of the work force in white-collar occupations compared with other university areas`. Both' of these factors, (female and white-collar workers) were found in higher percentages in the university communities than at the regid regional and levels. national , Another distinguishing characteristic of university communities was the small percentage of employment in the manufacturing sector. Iowa City, with ' manufacturing comprising only 6.5% of all jobs, held by city residents, ranked.:fifth out of the seven j w cn Figure 3 EDUCATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MIDWESTERN UNIVERSITY CON-WUNITIES, NORTH CENTRAL STATES, AND UNITED STATES 1970 - MEDIAN YEARS WITHOUT HIGH PLACE OF SCHOOLING for SCHOOL DIPLOMA IVITH; COLLEGE DEGREE COLLEGE STUDENTS persons 25 years.&, over 0 of persons 25 years & over % of persons 25 number 0 of Iowa City years $;over -total-. population 14.0 17.9 39.4: Fort Collins 12.8 14'232 30.4 Champaign 26.6 27.8; 111,776- 27.2 12.8 27.5 Bloomington 25.9' 14 474 , 25.614.8 23.2 Ames 44.6 .19,649 45.9 15.0 12.9 44.4 Lawrence 12.8 14,996 . 33.0 Columbia �- .. i.l X0.0 14,673. 32.1. 13.4 24.3 35.5 _.

Iowa City had the ' median percentage (33.09) of employment in education and related services. Government employees comprised a large part of the labor force in university -centered cities, since ' the major industry (university) is government operated. As previously mentioned, there are two large government -operated hospitals in Iowa City, adding to the high government employ- ment figure. (See Figure 4.) University communities, like most cities ,.a]so provide employ- ment opportunity for residents of the surrounding; area. 'rhe ' labor force characteristics of the county',,thus give a.,broader Picture of the population by including those who are workday participants in community activity. 'rhe percentage of county residents employed in manufacturing industries was generally higher than that of the cities but stil.l below the regional and national averages. Johnson County (Iowa" City), Iowa, had ' the third smallest percentage of the labor force employed in manufacturing, which was significantly smaller than that of other counties. (See Figure 2.) The percentage of white- collar workers in the counties also reflected (but to a,_lesser ' degree) the city patterns, as did governmental employment and educational service employment. The percentage of workers., employed in wholesale and retail trade employmentlfollowed no particular pattern and was generally close to that of the city. Iowa City ranked fourth among the seven cities in median family and per capita income, as shown in Figure!5. Median family income in Iowa City was greater than the national.but,Iess than the regional median. Per capita income was lower in;Iowa City than on the regional or national level. It should be_.noted, however,_that_Iowa_City was -also_ on the lower.e_nd of,the spectrum with regard to both the percentage of persons and families with poverty level incomes, and was below the regional ' and national levels in percentage of low-income families.* (See Figure 6l) Iowa City has many characteristics . in common with other cities with a large university population. These similarities suggest that programs and policies which have been effective in commu- nities with similar social and economic composition may be of particular interest to Iowa City as it.examines its future alternatives. *See Appendix 6 for.definitions of-povcr.ty_.(l.ow-income) level.

' MEAN: The amount obtained by dividing the total of all values by the number of such values. The mean value is ' also the arithmetic average. MEDIAN: The value located at the ' t� no of values midpoint of the distribu- in (e.g., 7 would be the median or middle number the distribution of 1, 2, 7, 8 values were , and 10).

PG/ssw 9 MINLrn:S OF STAFF MEETING .July 21, 1976 0 The Directors of Community Development and Public Works were reminded of their June monthly reports. Department heads were reminded that drafts of news releases are to be sent to the City Manager's office where they will be finalized, printed and mailed to the media. Comments from the staff were requested regarding membership with the American Management Association. This membership is renewable in September, and feed- back from the staff is requested as to whether or not this membership is worth- while. The Director of Finance was asked to talk with Tom Struve about renewing this membership, and Linda Schreiber will check into individual memberships in AMA. Comments were again requested from the staff regarding communication with employees. This item will reappear on the agenda until some decisions are made. The Director of Public Works suggested that department heads might write a monthly memo to employees at the time the monthly report is written. A comment was made that communication is more than a written page. A suggestion was also made about establishing an orientation program for new employees. More dis- cussion on this item will follow at the next staff meeting. The fifth cassette in a series, "The New Planning and Control," was heard and discussed by the staff. 0 CITY OF IOWA CITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM TO: Neal Berlin, City Manager FROM: Richard J. Plastino, Director of Public RE: Monthly Report for the Month of June Engineering 0 DATE: July 21, 1976 Works The Washington Street Amenities Project is on schedule with all phases of the project, except the brick trim around the planting areas. This product is no longer available due to a strike and Engineering is researching alternate products. Veenstra and Kimm are continuing work on the Waste Water Facilities Study. Engineering has submitted the third revised project concept statement on Muscatine Avenue. In our cover letter to the Highway Department, we are urging that they process this as quickly as possible. The Park Road Bridge Deck Project is running smoothly. To date, there has been about $2,700 of extra work, which was not originally anticipated. This work consists of replacing faulty paving at the east bridge approach and some adjacent sidewalk. The State has agreed to the extra work orders and no particular problems should be encountered. The West Park Lift Station plans and specifications are complete and council has approved the plans and specifications. The College/Dubuque Mall project appears terminated for this year and it would appear time to cancel the agreement with Bill Nowysz. As soon as the direction of this project becomes finalized in the next few months, this will be done if necessary. Veenstra and Kimm continue to work on the lime sludge work at the Water Plant. There is nationwide resistence to the EPA regulations requiring treatment of water plant sludges and the City is not pursuing this project in an aggressive manner, while awaiting the outcome of the protest to EPA. A pre -construction meeting has been held on the Slurry Seal Contract. The Contractor alleges he is having difficulty getting the proper gradation of aggregate and it would appear he will not finish the project by the stated completion date. l as page 2. • • Monthly Report for June The Asphalt Overlay Project is moving on schedule and the bid opening date is schedule for July 27, 1976. The Mudjacking Contract has been awarded to Wolf Construction Company and Wolf will start within a few weeks. The PY 77 Landfill Project bids will be opened July 29, 1976. The ten -unit T -hanger specifications at the airport are being prepared. The Public Hearing is set for July 15, 1976, before the Airport Commission and bids are to be opened August 17, 1976. We are moving ahead with filling the Building Official and Civil Engineering positions. The air-conditioning study is under way and we expect results within thirty (30) days. Solid Waste Division The Solid Waste Division picked up 1,120 tons of solid waste during the month. Manhours per ton averaged 1.68, which is very good. Gordon Russell Excavating Company has almost completed the new road into the landfill. We are going to be applying a fiberglass fabric to the sub -base of the road prior to putting on aggregate. This is a relatively new product, however, experience has been that the amount of gravel can be cut by 30% to 508 since the fiberglass fabric prevents pumping of mud into the aggregate. The Department of Environmental Quality has visited our landfill at least twice in the last month and they appear well pleased with the progress we have made in meeting their requirements. The bulldozer has been received and it is operating in a satisfactory manner. We are letting bid specifications for our small pull -type scraper. As you recall, we are slowly destroying our John Deere front-end loader compacter by hauling cover dirt with it and purchase of a small scraper will allow us to move cover dirt better and comply with DEQ regulations concerning cover dirt. Pollution Control Division The crews cleaned approximately 2,300 feet of sanitary sewer. Approximately 136 manhours were spent working on the lift stations. There were two complaints on sewer stoppages. Both stoppages were property -owners' responsibility. page 3. Monthly Report for June The Pollution Control Superintendent attended a pollution Control seminar in Davenport. The summer clean-up and paint program has been instituted.

Barker ECW/LGD/mek W 0 City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM DATE! July 27, 1976 TO: City Council FROM: City Managerwv RE: House at 122 East Court Street, Constance hkerker Enclosed is a memorandum from Tony Kushnir describing the actions relating to the house at 122 East Court Street. While the City legally could claim the deposit of $5,100 as a forfeiture, I do not believe that it is desirable for the City to take advantage of a citizen as a result of circumstances which were unknown at the time of the sale and particularly when other avenues of satisfactory resolution are available for the City. It is my understanding that at the time of the sale, Ms. Merker was confident that the property she had in mind would be available for the location of the moved house. Since that time, she has encountered conditions which make the Proposed parcel unavailable. Therefore, I would recommend that the City return the check in the amount of $5,100 less all expenses which may have accrued to the City as a result of the situation and that the City proceed to hold a new auction and sell the house to the highest bidder. Is Enclosure X300 July 9, 1976 John Rayek, City Attorney Tony Yushnir, Asst. City Attorney Rouse on 122 E. Court Street Dear ,john: On October 11, 1975, the City of Iowa City offered for auction certain houses, one of which was located at 122 E. Court Street. At that time the high bid was submitted by Ms. Constance Merker of $5 1.00.00. As of June 29, 1976, Ms. Merker has not remdved the !,Ouse 'from the premises. ids. Morker had deposited :with the City of Iowa City a check for $5,100.00 but has never signed the contract governing the sale. Ms. Merker has since stated that she was unable to perform the house move and asked for her $5,100.00 back. Altlough the City ray be able to claim the amount as a forfeiture, it is my opinion that the most reasonable �--sition would be to return the anount less any arpenses incurred by th-I City in reliance upon a Ns. Merker's parti.il performance and then rebid the house. Ms. Marker's tenter of S5,100.00 was pursuant to the marketing procedure as detailed in the "Rehabilitation Documents and Contract." The document further states that the house will be auctioned to the highest bidder who meets the qualifications. The mtalifications are as stated in the HUD form "Redeveloper's State- ment of Qualifications and Financial Responsibility." The City files concerning the house at 122 E. Court Street and the auction do not show a contract signed by Ids. Merker nor do they have the HUD Cntali- fications form signed by Ms. Merker. The general rule governing the sale of property at auctions is that a contract bocomes complete when a bid is accepted, *.his ordinarily is denoted by the fall of the hammer. Where the sell.er reserves the right to rrfuse to accept the bid, a bidding sale is not consumated between the seller and the bidder until the seller accepts the bid. In the ratter at hand, Ms. Merker's bid was the highest submitted although as stated above, I find no record in the files that she "qualified" in regards to the qualifications of financial responsi- bility. Without the Oualificati.ors form, I can only assume that the City found Ms. *•!erker qualifi.cd because it accepted Ms. Marker's check. in November, 1975. }caving made that assumption, the auction w,:s ca,-,->letel when the city accepted the check and t•?s. ':erker and the City occupied the ^ane relat9on toward each other as existed hc•tt•:et•n a pro.misor and promisee in an executory contract of a sale -2- conventionally made. Both parties may mutually rescind the agreement and the property be then disposed of as the City may desire. It's my understanding that there is an inquiry as to whether the City's obligated to dispose of the property to the next highest bidder. There are two theories unler which this possibility exists. The first is that the property was auctioned "without reserve", that is, the property will actually go to th^_ bidder offering the highest price. The argument goes that since ,a. ;terl:er %.a-- unable to go through with the contract, her bid must be d.iscouated and the property then sold to the next highest bidder. The problem with this proposition is that Ms. Merher's bid was accepted by the City wi,cm it accepted the deposit check and at that acceptance, the auction a connleta3. The City having tLe in auction "without reserve" was cthusecompleted. he hesSecond, t bid, bit hasibeenoclai:ned ns ,-at the auctioneer stated that if the highest bidder was unable to perform, the next highest bid would then be accepted. The rule whicli Iowa Courts have I is that the advance announce-ment, in this case the rarketing procedure documents, has no special significance other than to give notice of the fact that a sale is intended so that the terms contained in such advertisement or notices may be modified or added to by the auctioneer at the beginning of the sale. Under this proposition the City, if it were a private person, may be bound by the auctioneer's statements in spite of written procelures stating Otherwise. This proposition, however, I feel would be limited by the concept that a m;tnicipal corporation may not be bound by agreementsby agents who are not or were not authorized to enter into such aireements. I do not feel that an auctioneer's oral repres::ntations can bind a muni^'pal corpora- tion in the disposal of property without special authorization. If you have any further questions concerning this matter, please don't hesitate to call me. Tony Kushnir 0 0 o� �MIr[•C[ • ^ ' ///ylK • CMC CENTER. 410 E WASMINGTON ST. +•' 1 ^ ( W IOWA CRY.

This surely would have an effect on the overall acceptability of the program and would discourage property owners from participating. Further, it will increase the cost of operating the program by increased rental payments and liability for damages. The only other time this may be checked would be if during the application procedure it wast learned that the tenant was being evicted. In those cases, a check with the present or previous landlords may be made to determine cause for eviction. Within the HUD regulations as published in the Federal Register, this flexibility is provided. Please refer to: Paragraph 882.116C, "Receipt and review of applications for Certificates of Family Participation, verification of family income and other factors relating to eligibility...".

City Attorney RE: Municipal Campaign Financing Ordinance The Supreme Court decision in Buckley v. Valeo regarding campaign financing necessitates a reconsideration of the Iowa City ordinance. The court upheld the provisions in the Federal Act that impose a $1,000 limitation on contributions to a single candidate, a $5,000 limitation on contributions by a political committee to a single candidate, and a $25,000 limitation on total contributions by an individual during a calendar year. It invalidated the Act's independent expenditure ceiling, its limitation on a candidate's expenditures from his personal funds, and its ceiling on overall campaign expenditures. The court upheld the record keeping, reporting and disclosure provisions of the Act. The setting of the threshold at $10 and $100 was considered a judgmental decision best left to Congress. The Buckley decision affects the Iowa City Municipal Campaign Ordinance as follows; 1. Sections IV and V, Reporting and Limitations on Campaign Contributions by persons conform with the holding of Buckley v. Valeo. 2. Section VII(b) which requires a candidate to disavow Independent political activity is now of limited utility. An indi- vidual is still limited in the amount he can contribute to a candi- date; however, he may spend unlimited sums in independent expenditures, and the total amount that a candidate may spend on his campaign is no longer limited. 3. Sections VII(c) and (d) would now be unconstitutional. The alternatives available to the City Council is to amend the present ordinance; to repeal the present ordinance; or to repeal the present ordinance and adopt a different ordinance. �3� City of Iowa City DATE: July 29, 1976 TO: City Council J J FROM: Julie Vann, Redevelopment Specialist RE: Housing Rehabilitation Program -- time schedule; staffing; equipment needs; basic program plans I.

Deliniate program area by street and alley names for Council approval. October Program is operational. Program is operational. Complete ope- rational man- ual for publication. Council will have approved all contents previously -- so program will be opera- tional. 13Q6 II. STAFF AND EQUIPMENT NEEDS In order to implement a potentially successful program efficiently and effectively, adequate staff and equipment are needed.

Mike is providing workable inspection forms and will help us set up an efficient filing system and will train our staff to expediently process applications with all needed information (title search, income verification, historical docwnentation -- legal requirements and federal requirements). The planning process has begun. The target date for implementation is October.

Donald Ward regard - for local review of I would like to acknowledge per Mr. Ward's correspondence that we have received two major items of information requested as part of the Iowa City Council review. These are 1) select -link analysis of 1995 trips on proposed Freeway 518 bypass and 2) 1995 traffic assignment to the alternative bypass corridors identified in our request. This information has proven very helpful and we will be summarizing it along with other information, for review with the Transportation Committees and the Iowa City Council. I appreciate your concern that an intensive evaluation of alterna- tives to the proposed project at this time may not be especially valuable to the Iowa DOT or local decision -makers. However, as indicated in our correspondence of June 22, 1976 certain basic indi- cators of comparitive feasibility for these alternatives would be extremely helpful. It was, I believe, the thinking of the Policy Committee and the Iowa City Council that this type of information was required in order to meet the stated objective of the Regional Planning Commission that alternatives be identified and evaluated. We are also very interested in the review of this project in Wash- ington County and the First Re -study Candidates project as it re- lates to the U. S. 218 corridor. Please keep us informed of your review of this project with Washington County officials and any meetings which may be scheduled. Because of the difficulty of obtaining adequate attendance at meetings scheduled during August 0 0 -z- in Iowa City, we do not anticipate any transportation committee meetings dealing with Freeway 518 in a substantive manner prior to early September.

JUL 21 1916 J pLA1�hV!A`G C0; Ilsslonr 1 After your original letter of June 22, 1976, and our ensuing telephone conversations regarding the 518 project in Washington and Johnson Counties, I had anticipated that after my July 15, 1976, scheduled meeting with the Washington County Board of Supervisors, I would be in a better position to respond to your various requests regarding this project. However, as you know from my call to your secretary early on July 15, 1976, our meeting had to be cancelled due to inclement flying conditions. Consequently, Ken McLaughlin forwarded by mail to the Washington County Board several items regarding alternative possibilities in Washington County; we had discussed these with them earlier on the same date that we met with the Supervisors in Johnson County. Until additional contact is made with Washington County, I still do not feel in a position to commit our activities to the detailed level of study which you are requesting. I have talked to Don Ward concerning Mr. Brandt's phone call and understand that they have furnished you traffic information. As you are aware, discussion has centered many times around two lane facilities west of Iowa City. Traffic information furnished to me from Angelo Stefani in our Urban Traffic Section, and obtained in conjunction with the Regional Planning Group, indi- cates that a facility to the west of Iowa City located as shown in alternative 5a, 5b, 6a or 6b will still attract inthe design year in excess of 5,000 cars a day, which we feel is sufficient to warrant four -lane right-of-way. Contrary to your belief, your request for two lane construction costs, right-of-way requirements, user costs and residential farm and business relocations and/or disruptions, would involve a detailed study effort, and one which does not presently seem appropriate in COMMISSIONERS DONALOII GARDNER STEPHEN GARST WILLIAM F.MCGRATH ANNPELLEGRENO R08E4T R.RIGLER L.

It would appear,in light of these traffic volumes previously developed as a result of our joint metro planning efforts, that the type of further detailed study which you are requesting would not be warranted. However, in an effort for consistency in study and analysis, as soon as additional word is received from Washington County and then discussed further with our staff, I will contact you regard- ing further study possibilities in the Iowa City area.

Recently, the International City Management Association has undertaken a project concerning manager evaluation. The first output from this project is the May 1976 issue of Public Mama eme�nt, enclosed, entitled "The Moment of Truth." I am sure youillif'nd this publication very interesting. Later in the year the International City Management Association intends to publish a handbook containing additional information on manager evaluation. Your response to this material certainly will be appreciated for it will be utilized in preparing materials for the Council to consider in undertaking the next evaluation of the City Manager.

Sewer Service Charges. Mr. Mossman re-emphasized that it is the University's concern to determine what their fair share of the sewer service charges would be. They indicated that they had some questions relative to the assumptions that Veenstra and Kimm had made. The University representatives also acknowledged that their study on sewer service charges is only one part of the decision to be made on rate determination, and that the Veenstra and Kimm study would provide additional input as would other relevant data which is to be formulated. Mr. Mossman also indicated that the difference between what the University is now paying and what they would be paying under the rate structure set by the City will be set aside into a separate account starting August 1st. It was also indicated that the University anticipates completing their study by October, they anticipate negotiations to occur during the months of November and December, and they anticipate action by the Board of Regents in January. 2. Urban Renewal Property Transactions. Mr. Kraft gave a progress report on the transfer of land from the City to the University and indicated that the abstracts and the deed would be available to the University soon for purposes soon of examination. It is anticipated that the land will be transferred to the University sometime during the middle of this summer. k'3 El -z- • 3. Jefferson Building Vaults. The major problem relating to the Jefferson building vaults is one relating to the University of Iowa Facilities Corporation rather than that of the University of Iowa. It was also reported by Mr. Mossman that the letter sent by Neal Berlin to Universitthe y was referred to Darrell Wyrick and George Dane for response. For further questions and comments on this item, it was suggested that City representatives contact Mr. George Dane directly. 4. Bikeways Plan. It was reported that the application is still pending with the State Department of Transportation and that the deadline for submission of applications had been moved back. This will probably have the result of attracting additional applications. S• Street Signing. Mr. Gibson reported that the University is presently negotiating with the Iowa Department of Transportation on the signin for primary roads. It was also reported g P that virtually all of the signs that are going to be posted will be located on University rather than City property. 6. UMTA Grant- Mr. Strabala reported that minor amendments to the specifications need to be made and that he anticipated that the bid packets will be submitted within the next month. It was also reported that each vehicle to be Purchased must be inspected at the factory and must be driven by a representative of the City prior to the acceptance of each of the vehicles. 7. Traffic Planning. A memo on traffic planning for the west campus -Melrose area was drafted by the University on June 15. The memo was sent from -s - Bill Daigneau to James Brachtel, City Traffic Engineer. This essentially took the form of a problem definition statement and it also related to freeway S18 and the impact this proposed facility would have on traffic and circulation in this part of Iowa City. 8. Solid Waste Disposal. Mr. Plastino indicated that a draft recycling report will be submitted to the City Council in the near future. J. Melrose Traffic Signal. It was reported that a technical review of this signal is presently underway by the City. A report on this subject will be forthcoming. �. amum,/zz-- Tent campers may pitchtheir EMERGENCIES tents anywhere in the Lower Park, Hoapital locations aro marked All on this map, shelters in the Lower Park are reserved bicyclists for and their A REACT van will be staffed 24 families. - Recreational vehicleshoura, parked at the north end of accompanying cliete bic y may the Lower Parkk near the Lower Park parking Iota.

Following is a listing of Urban Renewal activities carried out this week: a. Had warranty deeds prepared for the land sale to the University, reviewed the proposed form of deed with the University's attorney, secured corrections as noted in these discussions. b. Met with the Planning and Zoning Commission concerning their review of the Urban Renewal Plan. Reviewed the plan in detail with then. c. Provided relocation counseling to two commercial firms; one was filing a claim, the other making preparations to move. d. Received complaints and inspected the drainage problems on lot 101 - City owned and Urban Renewal property. Referred the problem to Public Works. e. Began a review of Urban Renewal delinquent rent procedures. f. Completed the Annual Relocation and Real Property Acquisition Report. This became a major problem because no running records had been maintained over the fiscal year. Relocation payments were traced backward from the vouchers; actual dislocations were traced from the demolition records; and acquisitions were traced through the financial records. g. Met with representatives of the Iowa State Bank to initiate negotiations for sale of land to them located in block 101. h. Requested HUD clearance and form of contract information in order to Proceed with the contract with Zuchelli, Hunter and Associates. i. Sent Requests for Proposals to four appraisal firms, soliciting proposals to appraise all Urban Renewal property South of Burlington Street. j. Requested HUD concurrance with changes to their guideform contract for appraisal services, due to the nature of our project, and our needs at this time. Specifically, I requested several deletions relating to marketability studies, and related activities, not appropriate at this time. PG/ssw 11 1313
