have been sold, the owners of any tract of land which has been platted
may vacate the plat by going through a judicial procedure. See Sections
409. 22 through 409. 24 of the 1975 Code of Iowa. Although that procedure
does not require City consent, it does require notice and hearing. The
City could make its objections known at that hearing. 11, other words, I
believe that the risk of a plat vacation detrimental to the interests of the
City with respect to sewer capacity are minimal.
I would therefore suggest that the City Council consider a simultan-
eous zoning change and subdivision plat approval which would lock the
owner into a development scheme within the capacity of the city sewer
system. Such a process would require that the Planning and Zoning
Commission, staff, and City Council consider the subdivision plat on a
preliminary basis, at least, prior to the actual rezoning of the property.
The purpose of such unusual consideration would be to place the ordinance
rezoning the property and the resolution approving the final plat or plats
before the City Council at the same Council meeting. In this way the
Council would have the assurance that the owner was locked into the
particular subdivision plat at the same time that the property was being
rezoned.
I would be happy to discuss this matter with the Council further
if you desire.
Respectfully bmitted,

MEMORANDUM
T0: City Council
City Manager
DATE: November 24, 1976
FROM: Richard J. Plastino
RE: Philosophy of Traffic Engineering (7th and Glendale)
Public Works is sometimes viewed as stubborn and. inflexible concerning
traffic engineering matters. This view of Public Works is partially
correct.
We in Public Works believe our role is to provide the City Manager and
the City Council with the best possible advice concerning traffic
engineering matters. In order to acquaint you with our thinking process,
we thought it might be helpful to list-some„of;the facts that.guide
us when giving you advice. There are,three.groups of facts that we
look at in evaluating traffic engineering matters. These are:
1. legal requirements, 2. basic effectiveness requirements and 3. design
requirements.
LEGAL REQUIRFNENPS
State Law has several sections which guide Public Works in giving advice
and recommendations. Some of the more ,important sections are as follows:
Section 321.236 Powers of Local Authorities..
I
"Local authorities shall have no power to enact, enforce, or
maintain any ordinance, rule or regulation in any way.in conflict
with, contrary to or inconsistent with the provisions -of this
chapter, and no such ordinance, rule.or.regulation of said local
authorities heretofore or heretoafter enacted shall have any
force or effect,...”
Section 321.255 Local Traffic Control Devices.
"Local authorities in their respective jurisdictions_ shall place
and maintain such traffic control; devices.;upon .highwayi under their
jurisdiction as they may deem necessary to, indicate and.carry out
the provisions of.this chapter or local traffic ordinances;'or to
regulate, warrant or guide traffic. All sucli traffic 'control devices
hereafter erected shall conform .to the: tate manual md specs ication
Devices) Traffic control devices are
as."all signs, signals,

November 24, 1976
markings, and devices'placed-on;or-adjacent to a street or high-
way by authority of a public body or`official having jurisdiction
to regulate, warn, or guide•. traffic."_
Section 364.12 (2)
A City is responsible for the care, supervision and control of public
grounds, streets, sidewalks, alleys, bridges, culverts, overpasses,
underpasses, grade crossings and separations and', approaches;` except
those lawfully required to be maintained by railway company and
the City shall keep all public ways, ,sqiLares and commons open, :in ,- r
repair, and free from nuisance..."
Section 657.2(5)
"What deem nuisances. The obstructing or incumbering by fences,
building or buildings or otherwise the public roads, private ways,
streets, alleys, commons,
EFFECTIVENESS REQUIREMEWS,
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices states that traffic control
devices should meet five (5) basic requirements. Theyare:.
1. fulfill 'a need,
2. command attention,
3. convey a clear, simple meaning,
4. command respect of road'users.'and
S. give adequate time for proper response.
DESIGN REQUIREMMS
Five basic design requirements must be used to insure that signs are
effective. These are: - -
1. design, -
2. placement,
3. operation,
4. maintenance, and
5. uniformity.
Uniformity is important to this discussion:and.it_ will .be defined
further. Uniformity of traffic control devices simplifies the task
of the'_road user'because'it aids in recognition and ,understanding. It
aids road"users, police officers and traffic courts by;giyiirg everyone
the same -interpretation. -Simply stated, uniformity means.treating
similar situations in the'same way. The;use;of.a.uniform.traffic control
device.doesnot In itself constitute uniformity.,; --A standard device used
where it is not`, appropriate is_as objectionable.as anon -standard device;
in fact,this may be worse in that such misuse'may:result;in disrespect
at those locations where the device`is needed.
GENERAL DISCUSSION
The ideas expressed above are not abstract in nature..: The general
Public is aware of its rights under.the-law-and, there are marry attorneys
willing to sue the City to "safeguard" these`rights. _.Foi example,
the City is_presently.being sued because, -a bicycle
slipped on a bikeway that became maid-covered,gfter a;heavy rainstorm.
In another case, the Cit as sued because a; person ,on .a bicycle hit
b'dip e. person
and fell. In',another'case, the City was sued
because a person rode into a sidewalk vault door: that, was in a raised
position._ In yet another case,;' were .filed against the City be-
cause s piece of metal was picked up by a wheel and hurled against a
gas tank resulting in the gas tank leaking.
These lawsuits, even though all will not be lost by the City, represent
a potential outlay of thousands and even hundreds .of thousands'of
dollars. When Public Works seems reluctant to give the Council'advice
that appears to be 'in conflict with legal considerations; YOU 'may be
assured that we are reluctant. Public officials, whether they be'
elected or appointed are becoming increasingly cautiaas about `legal
exposure.
In our opinion; legal exposure is increased whenever the Clty deviates
from a pat}i'of strict compliance with the State Code`and the -Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices, particularly when installations -have
no proven beneficial purpose.
SPECIFIC CASE OF 7TH AND GLIMALE .
The City Council has received a request'to install two (2) more estop
signs at'7th `and Glendale and to'ifistall'rumble strips''in advance of
these stop signs and at the intersection.'
On October 25th, a meeting was, held with' Lowell Cross and R.L.' Dryer,
two residents in the area of 7th and Gl"endale ' In' this- meeting, the
following problems were identified, by Mr Cross and Mr: -Dryer:
1. Not enough policemen for enforcement,
2. Speeding cars,
3. Spinning tires,
4. Reckless driving; that is, cars going.'up over the curb and
over the grass;
S. High:traffic volumes,
6. High truck volumes,
7.: Danger to children walking along the:street.
These two residents desire the installation of a four way stop sign
and .rumble strips of appropriate design at the intersection of Glendale
and 7th.Avenue'apparently to correct some of the perceived conditions
listed above'. They consider these advisable for the following`reisons:

hazardous traction situations. It is suggested that stop signs also
be installed at this location, which will further compound the
problem. When and if lawsuits are filed in conjunction with an -
accident at -this location, the City and its elected and appointed
officials, will be the people who are held responsible for this illegal,
ineffective, and illogical design.
The City is often placed in a difficult position because we truthfully
have no quick remedies to solve vehicular speeding, spinning tires,
high traffic volumes and reckless driving. We do know that increased
police enforcement has some effect and we do know that an education
program through the media can be somewhat effective. We believe that
it is preferable to tell concerned citizens what: we can and cannot
do, rather than to entertain and encourage the discussion and sometimes
even the installation of -illegal, ineffective and illogical traffic
control devices.
Throughout the United States, there is a. prevalent attitude that if we
spend enough money or generate enough ideas about a problem, it
will disappear. This is not the case with vehicular traffic. The
automobile has brought our society many benefits, but with the benefits
we have inherited many, many problems, such as parking, speeding, air
pollution, etc. Public Works believes that within the constraints of
legality, effectivenss and logic the City cannot provide solutions
to every conceiveable traffic problem.
I think that most individuals who work for the City, and certainly
all of the elected officials, genuinely like to help people solve
problems. Unfortunately, there are times when we must recognize our
limitations and say "no". We must always explain our reasons for
saying no, making it clear that in the end, decisions must be based
on legality, effectiveness and logic.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 3, 1976
TO: City Council/City Manager
FROM: Transit Superintendent
RE: State Transit Assistance
The application for State Transit Assistance will, if approved, provide
the City of Iowa City with approximately $165,000. Fran the Transit
System's viewpoint, there are many useful ways in which these funds
could be expended. That viewpoint does not take into consideration the
general financial condition of the City.
One approach that would help to case the financial pinch brought about
by the property tax freeze would be to utilize some state transit funds
to make up for part of the tax revenue lost. We feel that some funds
should also be expended in the specialized transportation area. The
Subco nnittee on Specialized Transportation of the Johnson County Regional
Planning Carmission has been working on the development of a practical
approach to specialized transportation problem. They have recommended
the approach discussed in the attached docunentation. We feel that it
is the best initial step to allow for the analysis of specialized transpor-
tation needs and to facilitate the eventual operation of a coordinated
system. Such action would also help to improve our chances for the
grant to Johnson County from the office of Human Development.
There is no guarantee that the state D.O.T. will approve any grant
application, but we are well within their rather loose application
requirements. The D.O.T. wants all applications submitted by January 1,
1977, so it is important that we continue the procedure in as timely a
manner as possible.

OF PIANS FOR FINANCING 7I1E PROJECT AI
The City of Iowa City has supported its transit system for the last
five years from the general fund. The percapita level of support has
been one of the highest in the state of Iowa. This grant project does
not add significantly to the operating costs of that system. It does
allow continuation of present levels of service rather than the reduc-
tions that might be expected as a result of the property tax freeze
enacted by the State Legislature. It is anticipated that at the end of
this project the City will continue to support its transit system
utilizing whatever funds can be made available.
SECTION 7:
A'L'LJr' 6AW112UWF OF SPECIFIC PROJECT GOALS AND ACTIVITIES
The Major use by the City of Iowa City for the state transit assistance
funds will be to Continue the current levels of service as reflected in
our transit development program and its update. The property tax freeze
enacted by the State Legislature reduces budgeted tax i.nccme t the City
by approximately $300,000, State Transit Assistance will help us to
continue our present level of service instead of forcing a reduction in
service to cope with the property tax reduction. The service improvement
allowed by this transit assistance will be in the area of increased
safety and reliability due to the addition of one supervisory position.
We intend to reduce our accident rate by 10% for the period from October
Of 1976 to October of 1977. Stephen L. Aforris, Transit Superintendent,
will be the contact for the transit assistance project. The system is
evaluated by the City Council, and is in the second year of developing
management by objective systems.
It is intended that the state assistance will allow the use of local
funds for contract of services to provide specialized door-to-door
service to our elderly and handicapped residents. We anticipate an
annual outlay of approximately $60,000 for the provision of this service.
It is unlikely that such service could be provided without the state
assistance to the transit system.

Appendix I
There are no third party agreements under this program. Discussion
underway with Johnson County for the provision of specialized is
doom is

Appendix II
The City of Iowa City is utilizing $210,000 for fiscal year 1977 from
the federal revenue sharing program, The City is also purchasing three
35 foot transit coaches with the assistance of an 80% grant from the
urban mass transportation administration. No other external funding
sources are presently utilized by the Iowa City Transit System.
