AGENDA
Councilman Balmer questioned why' the P & Z Comnission would be discussing
the proposed Parking Policy, including, the system for meter fees. The
City Manager stated he would check this out. He also explained that in
regard to Human Rights minutes of 4/25, regarding the ,'free coffee',
that it would have to be served to both male and female shoppers by the
Mall Merchants Association, under the Ordinance adopted by the City.
Concerning the statement by IPIRG regarding the mini -park, the Mayor'
noted that there was never a firm decision to preserve the Blackhawk
Mini -park. The City Manager agreed.
j The City Manager explained that Item #10,! Ordinance on Housing, should
be deferred because of the inconsistencies with State Law. The Legal
Department and the Community Development staff will work them out. Item
dll will also be deferred as the changes requested by Council in the
language are not ready. He reported that in connection with the Muscatine
Avenue Sanitary Sewer Project, the sanitary'sewer for the three parcels
can be put in from behind, along the parking lotto the adjacent apart-
ment house. It would require an easement, and would basically cost j
about the same as putting it in the street, and would be at the property
owner's,, expense. The Public Works Department will write a letter to
each prospective bidder, deleting the item. It will not affect the
relationship with Federal and State because it was not an item to be
I
u?^. funded from the FADS'money.
i Mayor Neuhauser discussed the recommendation of the Human Rights Commis-
sion on the legislative matters reported in their minutes. She had met
with the Commission and discussed why the Council thought that the
Commission should not set policy, and discussed the role of the Coffunis-
sion which is advisory to the Council. She had told them that
it would
be most inadvisable to lobby for legislation because there might be
conflicts with Councilolic . Th o
The Commission has decided to o ahead'
and do it anyway. She will ask for a motion that Council add to the '
Ordinance a statement that recommendations for legislation will go'thru
the City Council. Four Councilmembers agreed. '
The Mayor also advised that she did not care to attend a meeting with
the Commission and several minorities, as requested by the Commission,
j to discuss the status of minorities in Iowa City. She stated that ,the
minorities are welcome to come to Council to speak at any time. Problems
of minorities are the reason for the Commission's existence. The City
Manager stated that he had no personal objection if any Board or Commis-
sion dealt with the Legislature on procedural matters, but not on policy
matters.
Concerning the request from the Human Relations Commission for deferral
status Civil Rights Specialist stated that it would not take any more
staff to handle it. It is a legal arrangement which would allow them to
investigate complaints filed against employers or respondents in the
Q.% Iowa City area which were filed with the State and not 'Iowa City. She
explained that the Commission wanted to meet with the Council to discuss
j the program of the Outreach Advocacy' Committee of the Commission. There
is still discrimination for blacks in the area of housing. The Mayor

Balmer.- Requirement of Engineers Approval on New Construction
'.for .Energy Code .-- "Why can't this be done by contractor at
savings to the City?°.
The Energy Code for the State of Iowa went into 'effect January 4,,
1978. Prior to the effective 'date of the State Code, the City had
the option of following the State Law, which was enforcing the State
Code at the local level, orwriting their own code at not less''. than - 1
State Codestandards. The ..City 'chose not writing code but simply
enforcing the State Code at the local level. .(See the Building Line
October, 1977). i
The, State Energy 'Code has always required that buildings having more 4
than 100,000 cubic feet of enclosed space that is heated or cooled be
reviewed by a registered architect or registered engineer for
compliance and the signed'' and sealed statement be filed with the
i State before the Building Permit can be'issue& The Code further
..:�f provided that buildings.... less than 100,000 cubic feet could !be
reviewed by local plan review process. (See the Building Line
January, 1978). After much discussion with',the Energy Conservation
Commission and the City Council'
it was felt that the enforcement o

this State Code at the local level was8 oin torequire additional
B
skills to be developed by existing inspection personnel or the hiring
of an Energy Officer to complete the necessary review. The staff
informed the Council' and the Energy Conservation Commission that
because of the complexity of the Code and the time demands necessary
to ',do the print review that the Building Officialwasgoing to
require architect or engineer certification on all new construction.
It was further hoped ,that 'as the State would modify the Code they
would simplify the requirements for one and two family structures and '
perhaps allow for more, prescription standards so that home builders
could provide the necessary check-list certifications of compliance
with the State Code. The staff further' attempted to develop local
review procedures that would simplify the enforcement of the Code on
home'- construction in Iowa City and, solicited assistance in
developing' procedures from local builders, architects and engineers.
(The Building Line February, 1978).
During the early months of the enforcement of the new Code it became
apparent that the majority of the home construction in Iowa City was
being' performed, by established home builders who found it to their
advantage to receive architectural certification on their house

a building year. This was in accord with the. State Ordinance. Local
j,.. architects have been providing this service at fees that have not
been objectionable to the builders.
We have always hoped, with dwindling optimism, that the State would
adopt a prescriptive code for one and two family homes which would

I truly enable a home builder or even aproperty owner wishing to
i' modify single family home todetail the building materials that are
going to be utilized in such a fashion that programable calculators. ;
or some sort of computer service could be utilized to determine the
heat loss factors of the building and assure compliance with the i
State. Code. The. State refuses to adopt a prescriptive code and feels I
that doing so would stifle building design. The Building' Official
does not feel that the present State Code can or should be properly
enforced by normal print review; processes of the Building Inspector I(
or by, certification of the contractor, rather, true assurance of Code
compliance is best afforded by,, consultation with experienced
architects or engineers:
With energy conservation demanding more and more attention in the
construction industry the staff welcomes any opportunity to further
discuss methods of enforcement or review that would save time and
i money to the building industry however, we wish to note that the
present procedures for review and enforcement are at no cost to the,
administrative budget of the Department of Housing & Inspection
Services. The staff looks forward to hearing more suggestions from
9 the Council or the Energy ': Conservation ' Commission regarding the
6 State Building Code Thermal and Lighting Efficiency Standards.

MODEL CODE FOR ENERGY CONSTRUCTION IN NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
A model code for Energy Conservation applying to new building construction of or greater
than 100,000 cubic feet has been recommended to the City Council by the Resources Con-
servation Commission. It is recommended for implementation on January 1, 1978.,
Ilia requirements of this code shall regulate the design of building envelopes with ads
quate thermal resistance and low air leakage and the design and selection of mechanical,
electrical service, and illuminationsystemsand equipment which will enable the effec
tive use of energy in new building construction.:
The City Council has scheduled this code for a public hearing on October 4, 1977 at the
regular council meeting. Copies are available at the City Clerk's office and the Iowa
City Public Library for public review.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 13, 1976
TO: Neal Berlin / City Council
FROM: Michael E. Kucharzak, Director,Housing & Inspection Services
RE: Formal Council Meeting September 12, 1978
Balmer - Inspection of Apartments - "Are floors being measured and
sketches made? If so, why?"
Yes, floor area in all rental property including apartments and rooming
houses are being measured in order to obtain the basic information on
the rental units to determine whether or not the rental units comply
1 with the Housing Occupancy & Maintenance Code as passed by Council.
Attached to this cover memo is a list of the various code sections from
the existing Housing Occupancy & Maintenance Code that would require
knowledge on the part of the inspector as to the size of rooms or portions
of the building or the',location of rooms within the building in order to
determine whether or not the unit being inspected meets the code require
i meets.
Previous policies on housing inspections did not require any written
record to be kept as to whether or not actual measurements were taken in
ascertaining whether a structure or dwelling unit complies, with the light,
ventilation, minimum habitable' size; occupancy, licensing or room arrange-
ment code requirements. Without actual measurements being', taken it would
be very. difficult for an inspector to be able to justify to any citizen
challenging conditions that a'particular building or dwelling unit is in
fact in compliance with the code. We have further found that if required
to go to court any magistrate or judge would expect evidence in the form
of actual measurements taken to prove a violation' does' exist.
Since the permanent records of the City of Iowa City often do not show
the size of rooms or their relationship to any licensed permit, the
housing inspectors have been instructed since the adoption of the Housing
Occupancy & Maintenance Code to measure each room in the course of their
inspection, make "a rough sketch of the roomarrangement and keep the
document as part of the permanent record of the City of Iowa City. Upon
completion of the first round of licensed inspections the City housing
inspectors will have available to them the: measurements and location of
rooms so that inspections in subsequent licensing, years need not require
that an inspector measure rooms or produce sketches unless structural
alterations have taken place.
Each occupant or owner present at the time of the inspection is told the
reasons, why the measurements are "necessary ,'and quite oftenartici ate
in helping the inspector obtain the data by doing such simple, things as
holding the tape measure. By and large the procedure has not caused major
problems in the field nor has it significantly increased the amount of
time, necessary to conduct licensing inspections. The benefits of having
more accurate data and permanent records as part of our housing files is
the end result of the procedure and one that the staff feels warrants any
slight inconvenience experienced by an occupant of a dwelling unit.

FROM: .Hugh A. Mose, Transit Manager .^
'I
RE: State Bus -Fare Subsidy
Please refer to the attached letter from Terry ..Fritz of the Iowa Depart-
ment of Transportation, outlining the State's new plan to subsidize em-
ployees' transit. work trips.
This program was mandated by the State Legislature, and is being implemented.
by the State DOT's Public Transit Division. The program was put together
! •i
with limited input of the localoperators, and .Iam not. entirely pleased'
with the outcome. -
�
I
In anyevent, the program will beput :into effect in October. With
very high number of State employees in Iowa City, this should provide a
major increase in the number of persons riding transit. Unfortunately,
the main thrust of the potential increase will be at rush hour, as. the
State is only pushing the use of transit for work trips..
I am very concerned about the impact of this program. --,it could easily
result in even more overcrowded rush-hour buses, schedules being impossible
to keep, and many potential passengers being bypassed for lack of room.
I will report back next month when the program begins. In the meantime
we,will continue looking '.into the possibilities of acquiring additional
'
'I
buses for this winter.

The issues that still require a policy decision are ess

1) The City has had a standing policy of trying to minimi

that would require a further maintenance burden on Cit

crews; and
2) Serving an area north of the Interstate will reduce
available sewer;capacity in the drainage area south of
the Interstate for which the existing gravity sewer
was constructed.

RE: Highlander Service Area
Harry Boren and I have received the attached report. We recommend the
following short term and long term recommendations:
i
Short term recommendations
I. Ask IDEQ to allow Houghton Mifflin to be added to the Highlander
lagoon without any modifications to the Highlander lagoon.
(See Page '4 of report.)
i
2. Construct septic tank system for Houghton Mifflin.
RI I
Long range recommendations
! l.. Construct a pump station to pump flows from the Highlander,
the Highlander Inn expansion, Houghton Mifflin, and the rest
of the 80 acres to an existing gravity sewer south of Interstate
80. This is subject to the following conditions:
a. A surge tank be built'i
n conjunction w'
� � with to
i
eum
stati
to level out peak flows and place: less der-andon the on
capacity of the sewer'', south of Interstate 80.
b. 'Covenants be drawn up on the remaining 80 acres pledging
development of no more than 1500 gallons per day per acre
for the undeveloped 80 acre site. There should be a
recognition by policymakers that pumpage of this area
north of the Interstate robs from the natural drainage
area south of the Interstate. Assuming a surge tank is
used in'',conjunction with the pump Station, full development
of the 80 acres at anticipated sewage flows will eliminate
the potential for development for 51 acres of ground at a
density 'of 8 people per acre in the natural watershed south
of Interstate 80. If no surge tank is used the area eliminated
from'the service area is three, times this amount.
In summary, pumping of sewage is the recommended alternative for full develop-
ment of' the 80 acres.' The decision of whether to allow development of this
area outside the natural watershed of the Dubuque Street sewer line is a policy
decisiun. Policy makers must decide
whether the industrial dove �
worth the potential, problems later when inadequate sewer capacity develops
in the Dubuque Street Sewer. The City has had its sufficient experience with
this type of situation to indicate that the problems become complicated, and
litigious:

A fey.• years ago when the tax law:: were rewritten and most personal
property taxation wqs eliminated, buildings such as these were not
exempted from taxation and they were thereafter carried on- the real

never taxed the real estate involvedherein. It was always treated

County which 'had be en acquired at a scavenger sale, he bought the
Count
°'-
i
buildings on this,plroperty and nothing else. There was never any
question in the defendant's mind but that he purchased buildings
on "leased ground."' The defendant got no title to the real estate 1
involved. He was not mislead, nor is he naive aboutsuch matters.!
He knew full well that he was not buying title to a street or:. -alley,,
and he bought nothing that the Gwinns had not already for He
simply bought the title to the buildings which were owned by Johnson
r
County, and until the City brought this action to establish 'its

i
"title" to the land and require defendant to remove the house, he
j
never even claimed any title to the alley. The Court finds that if
the City was estopped from claiming title to the land at this
I
particular time, the only persons who can claim any rights to the
]and because of their occupancy thereon for a long period of ,time
was the Gwinn family. Mr. Yocum, by buying tax title to the
buildings,' cannot succeed to some claim that the Gwinns might have had

that there is no necessity for any deLermination quieting title;
that the 'land has always, belonged to the City of Iowa City•and will

Monthly Report
Fire Department
August 1978
The officers and men participated in a total of 224 drills with total
hours of 1066. This was all on -hand training with the very gracious
help of the weather.
We started the month off with radiological defense class given by Mr.
Dean Christenson from West Branch, who seems to hold an amazing number
of titles. It was sponsored by the local Civil Defense of Johnson
County, Mr. Pat McCarney, Director. The class was very informative as
to what to do in case of nuclear attack, but I feel the greatest knowledge
was gained through'learning'what to do and how to be prepared for an
accident involving, radiological materials in transport.
Apprenticeship tests weregiven this month. 'r The scores have not been
finalized as yet. ,This program is, sponsored by the International Union
and the Association of Fire Chiefs. It basically is a program toward,
having all fire 'department personnel at the same level of knowledge all
C.P.R. classes were given to nurses ,and physical education personnel of
the Iowa City school system." Pat Akers assisted me in this and his.help
was very much appreciated. ",A total of 40 were certified in this class. i
i
Also with the school system' an extinguisher demonstration was ,given by
Battalion Chief lIrving ,assisted by Lieutenant Stutzman and his crew.. A
total of 85 maintenance and related personnel' attended.
Extinguisher demonstrations were also given at the University of Iowa
Hospitals complex. The training officer was assisted by Lieutenants
Fiala and Geisking ,Captain Nicola, and Fire Fighters Kibbee,;Mask,
Crow, King, Craig and Allen. As we gave thirteen demonstrations and
talks on each of;three days, their help was very greatly appreciated. A
total of 600 hospital personnel participated in this program which is a
necessity for the Hospital's accreditation. '
Last, but not least, the engine room and kitchen at central station
received a very much needed painting. I was very proud of the cooperation
and assistance I'received from all officers and men.

MONTHLY REPORT
'
Police Department
August,1978
The number of citizenbenerated requests for police services
during August reflected the: seasonal doldrum thatisIowa City
toward the end of summer. Almost all categories of complaints
diminished during the month. Exceptions to this were noted motor
vehicle accidents and 'domestic complaints. The 'last week of
as ed
increased,
August complaints of street storage and illegalparking,
probably reflecting the start of the fall semester of school. A-:
+
total of 1992 citizen generated requests for service was received
during the month.
The Detective Division was assigned twenty-eight cases for invest -
A
igati.on, with twelve cases closed by arrest or investigation.
was 1619.
Total arrests and/or citations issued by the Department
A number of replacement Crossing Guards were hired during the
month, with only one post unfilled at the start of the public
I
y
s.,hool year.
Complaints received by the 'Animal Shelter totaled 131. The first
full month of petlicensingby Shelter personnel saw the issuance
of ninety"one-permits.
Statistical data are appended.
S:alection of police recruit applicants proceeded smoothly with
I
the final selection to be completed early in September.
l
Two officers, James Hazlett and William Cook were promoted to
t
Sergeant during August.' Each patrol shift is now assigned two
s,.rgeants''thus eliminating the need for, a rotating supervisor
'
and insuring full-time supervision' for each shift.
The,Vandalism Control Program swung into high gear. Nine service
clubs have pledged financial support for the project and the
Ir.wa City Jaycees will. coordinate the overall .efforts. Officer'
�
Kidwell was assigned as the- Departmental reporesentative to the
