Foremost among these was the need to secure air rights over the Knights of Columbus building. Since that time various methods to eliminate the problem have been pursued by E11C. On January 29, 1979, the HUD Insuring Office at Des Moines called Bob Welsh to inform him that they would not waive the yard requirement, which mandates that they control the air rights above the Knights of Columbus building, nor would they accept the revised architecture blueprints drafted within the last month to fit within the regulations. HUD suggested that EHC move the highrise apartment building north of the alley. This was confirmed in a letter dated January 26. A copy of this letter, and a copy of a letter from EHC to the City Manager are attached to this memorandum. Problem: Is the City willing to sell the Iowa Avenue parking lot to EUC for development into a highrise apartment complex, and if so what is the impact of this design change with relationship to the Senior Center? Recommendation: The City should not agree to sell the land requested if the development places the housing on the Iowa Avenue parking lot. Basis for the Recommendation: Many of the problems with this development can be traced directly to the fact that current plans call for placing too many dwelling units and supporting spaces (i.e., parking, open space, walkways) on too constrained a site. Moving the housing to a location north of the alley causes less efficient use of space, only compounding the basic problem, and removing nearly all benefit to the City's Senior Center project. While the difficulties were tolerable if the joint Senior Center/Housing complex could be built, the problems become unacceptable when the benefits of physical connection are removed. To the City, the physical interconnection of the facilities should be paramount. (IUD should be asked to reconsider their decision, based on the fact that the Iowa Avenue site is not available for the building. If this fails, EHC should reduce the number of dwelling units to a workable number. If this fails, the City should seek to develop housing on the Washington Street site through alternate programs or methods. A variety of options are available. Subsequent 202 allocations could be sought. The City could market the land, subject to the developer securing a Section 8 New Construction committment as was done with Urban Renewal Parcel 103-3. The City could produce the housing with revenue bonds, or Iowa Housing Finance Authority fiords. ;215-0 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES City Council February 1, 1979 Page 2 This would obviously impose some delay, but is preferable to permanently precluding the development of a joint Senior Center/Housing facility. Analysis: In order to understand the ramifications of the requested site change, the staff has considered seven criteria: parking, topography, pedestrian and vehicular access, open space, proximity to the Senior Center, building orientation, and cost. A brief analysis of each is set forth in the attached table. Locating the housing on the Iowa Avenue lot would be an inferior solution. This action would permanently preclude locating subsidized elderly housing adjacent to the Senior Center. Because of the differences in topography and other site characteristics, the total supply of park- ing (to be split between the projects) would be diminished. This would serve to further aggravate a serious shortage of parking for the Senior Center. The staff has analysed the pros and cons of the Iowa Avenue site versus Washington Street site using the siting which EHC's architect prepared, because that is the footprint HUD has briefly seen and suggested they would accept. The proposed building provides a north -south window orientation. If instead a building orientation with windows facing cast or west was developed, this could be achieved only at the further expense of reduced parking and a poor traffic circulation pattern. An "air rights" problem would also be created over the building on the northwest corner of the block, therefore posing another obstacle. To avoid these problems, a north -south building orientation is necessary, creating less desirable dwelling units. Another consideration when locating the housing on the Iowa Avenue site is that the physical interconnection of the two structures would be possible only at great expense (by connecting overhead or underground). Pedestrian circulation between the housing and the Senior Center would have to be indirect (around the block) or across two parking lots and an alley. Such circulation would have to be out-of-doors, decreasing the ability of the elderly to use the Senior Center during the winter months and other periods of inclement weather. The staff has two primary concerns about locating housing adjacent to the Senior Center, however neither of these concerns will be minimized by moving the housing across the alley to the Iowa Avenue site. The shortage of parking is caused by the number of dwelling units and E11C's desire to have 50 spaces; not by the physical placement of the structure. The potential for "over -accessibility" to cause the Senior Center to appear to serve only the downtown elderly or to become an extended living room for the EHC project tenants, should be addressed through center management, not physical separation. Since the architect believes that the revised plans for the Washington Street site do meet HUD minimum property standards, the City Should request HUD to provide specific citation to the standards which are the basis for not approving the site. If HUD does so and will not reconsider, MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 1101nE5 City Council February 1, 1979 Page 3 Nd/ssw Attachments EHC should reduce the number of units, or the City should seek alternate programs to provide a housing development on the Washington Street site. Even if the number of units had to be reduced, the complex con- cept is retained. A smaller housing project would in fact be positive, as it impacts the Senior Center, because constraints ;.ould be less severe (i.e., parking availability, building size, open space, pedestrian pathways, building construction costs, and building con- figuration).

Considering all aspects of architectural design along with future security of a 40 year Section 202 mortgage, it is our decision the request for air rights above adjacent property owned by the Knights of Columbus cannot be deleted. If you are unable to acquire the air rights at a price you consider acceptable, it would be our recommendation the building be relocated on the adjacent parking lot as shown on Scheme X of your site plan. May we again remind you, your Section 202 Loan Reservation will have covered a period of 18 months on March 1, 1979. Prior to this date you should submit a written request for a six-month extension. You should also make every effort to submit the application for Conditional Commitment before your original reservation period expires.

We have been unable, as of this dale, to obtain air rights from the Building Association of the Knights of Columbus for what we believe to be a fair and equitable price. This seemingly blocks our being able to proceed as planned, since our preliminary proposal to HUD was approved subject to our obtaining air rights so as to assure that a high rise building will not be built 20 feet away from the apartments. Using the best Information available to us, we arrived at a fair value of $5,000 for a twenty -foot easement above a possible third story addition to the Knights of Columbus building. However, because of our commitment to the elderly and our desire to move forward without further delay, we offered to pay $12,500. The Building Association, however, believes that the air rights are worth $50,000. In light of this, we offered to obtain and pay for a qualified independent appraisal If the Knights would agree to sell us the air rights at the appraised value. The Knights rejected this offer. We have not given up on obtaining air rights. But, realistically, we are exploring other alternatives. Our architect has redesigned the apartment units so as to preserve the basic character of the project, living units adjacent to the Senior Center. These plans, in turn, have been submitted to HUD, who has reaffirmed their position that to build on the proposed site, we must obtain air rights. It is seemingly HUD's position that since the Iowa Avenue parking lot is avail- able, It would be best to locate the building there. We disagree. It adversly effects service to the elderly by eliminating the connection to the Senior Center. It places the elderly further away from the heart of downtown and it results in the front yard being a parking lot. In light of the above, I am writing to inquire concerning the city's position. If we are unable to obtain air rights, would the city make available to us the Iowa Avenue parking lot for our use as our prime building site, plus part of the lot adjacent to the Old Post Office for parking. In this connection, we would also Inquire as to the possibility of utilizing the alley right-of-way. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -OCs 6101NF.s Mr. Neal Berlin - 2 - January 30, 1979 We have appreciated the cooperation of the city and Its commitment to the Joint project.

The Ecumenical Housing Corporation Inas formed to provide elderly housing adjacent to the Senior Center in downtown Iowa City. We believe this Is in the best interest of the elderly and of the entire community. If this is impos- sible because we cannot obtain air rights we will do whatever we can to provide the best possible housing for the elderly of this community We would appreciate your counsel, guidance and suggestions. — Sincerely, _,/ Robert L.

EHC plans to use 50 spaces for housing tenants. The remaining spaces would be available for the Senior Center. As currently planned by EHC, there is not adequate parking adjacent to the Senior Center to accommo- date projected need, nor are the spaces in the Iowa lot designed for 60 -degree diagonal parking, as recommended by the Ebenezer Center. Topography In spite of the slope from the parking lot behind the Senior Center falling to Washington Street, 100 percent of the site can be used when develop- ing the highrise apartment complex. Access (Pedestrian) The Iowa Avenue Parking Lot is designed for 100 percent usage for parking. With the buildings designed adjacent to one another, there will be direct indoor physical connection to the Senior Center. Because of the building proximity to the Central Business District, there will be closer access to banks, shopping, bus lines, and other municipal parking facilities. If the buildings are designed adjacent to one another, a joint lobby would provide convenient access from Washington Street to both the housing highrise and Senior Center. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIOIOES HOUSING ON IOWA AVENUE The existing post office parking lot can be designed to provide 60 -degree parking for 30 to 35 spaces. These spaces would be likely used by the Senior Center. With the highrise apartment complex located in the Iowa Avenue Parking Lot, 26 to 40 spaces could be provided along with the building depending on the orientation of the building, the owner's desire for open space, and the parking space layout. The slope along Iowa Avenue (falling from we's to east), makes it difficult to locate a building on the north property line. Moving the building southward to compensate for this problem will reduce parking by at least ten spaces. Due to the slope onto Washington Street (falling from north to south), only 80 percent of the site can be used for parking, in contrast to 100 percent of the site being usable for the housing. There are no particular pedestrian access advantages for locating the housing at this location. - CRITERION HOUSING ON WASHINGTON STREET HOUSING ON IOWA AVENUE Access There are three access points available to the Access to parking is primarily through the (Vehicular) parking area -- the Iowa Avenue entrance, the east -west alley, which has topographic Linn Street alley entrance, and the Gilbert Street problems from Gilbert Street.

Proximity to 100 or more senior citizens would be able to use Senior Center the center, with a very short walk, regardless of i weather, on a regular basis. These housing residents would benefit psychologically, socially, and emotionally (minimizing their susceptability to "cabin fever") from the multitude of program opportunities and services available in the Senior Center. Because of the shared spaces, residents would be more aware of all available activities. Because of proximity, staff would be more likely to note a resident's periodic absence and be able to double check the situation -- a safeguard t against needs unnoticed and assistance not rendered.

I MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101tIE5 City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: February 1, 1979 To: City Council From: Dale Helling, Assistant City Manager Re: Complaints about Russell's Towing The purpose of this memorandum is to advise the City Council what action has been taken in response to complaints made by Mr. Bill Wright, 529 East College, and expressed to the Council at the regular meeting of January 23, 1979. On the day following that meeting, Rudy Scheler, manager of Russell's Towing, was contacted by Chief Miller of the Police Department regarding the complaints which had been made. Shortly thereafter Mr. Scheler came to my office to discuss these same issues. Regarding the incident wherein Mr. Wright and others allegedly were kept waiting for approximately 90 minutes before they could retrieve their vehicles, Mr. Scheler advised me of the following. Due to the large volume of cars having been towed, many of these vehicles were necessarily taken to Russell's salvage yard at the south end of South Riverside Drive. Ordinarily there is room to store the vehicles at their warehouse at Kirkwood and Gilbert Streets. Due to the fact that all of the wreckers which remained in service at that time were engaged in towing operations for the Police Department, it was necessary for Mr. Scheler to transport people to the salvage yards for retrieving their vehicles. At this particular time, due to the demand for towing services, Mr. Scheler had manned a tow truck himself and therefore was unavailable for transporting these people to the salvage yard. Mr. Scheler agreed that this was an unfortunate set of circumstances and that he is pursuing measures to eliminate this type of inconvenience in the future. In addition to that, he also indicated that he would be taking steps to clean up the warehouse and particularly the office area so that it will be more attractive as a place of business. At the Council meeting Mr. Wright also related an incident involving a car in tow which had struck a parked vehicle while hooked to the wrecker. Mr. Scheler was aware of this incident and affirmed that fact that his driver and the owner of the vehicle in tow had made a private settlement regarding towing charges. There apparently was no significant damage to either vehicle and the owner of the vehicle being towed had indicated that apparent damage to his vehicle, which appeared on the surface to have resulted from the collision, was actually previous damage. Also, I am assured that there was an Iowa City police officer at the scene and that he did give formal authorization for the vehicle to be released to the owner. zsl MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 5 Rudy Scheler further indicated to me that Mr. Russell,, owner of the towing service, had given him authorization to purchase a good deal of new equipment which would be necessary for the continued efficient operation of the towing service. I have discussed this entire matter with Chief Miller who indicates that, at this time, he has no strong feelings regarding the performance of the towing contractor. It appears that some positive measures are being taken to correct the situation. Unless the Council would prefer otherwise, I will consider the matter resolved for the present time. bj3/5-6 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 140IMES ' City o4 Iowa Ci MEMORANDUM DATE: February 2, 1979 TO: City Council FROM: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance (:V RE: Summary of Budget Changes To -Date As we discussed Wednesday night, we will not be able to use Road Use Tax monies for 100% funding of the Service Building Modification Project scheduled in FY79 thru FY82.

There- fore, the total funding needed in FY80 is as follows: FY79 (per above) S 99,520 FY80 (per above) 97,385 e IOL Ong The Council did decide to increase the Refuse Fee in FY80 to $2.00/month. This will reduce the transfer from the General Fund to the Refuse Collection Operating Fund by $193,200. This results in freeing up funds in the General Fund which can then be used to cover the funding needed. Total funding needed $196,905 Reduction in transfer to Refuse 193,200 SHORTAGE $ 3,705 I would recommend taking this out of the fund balance or raising property taxes by this amount. It should be noted that if the Refuse fee had not been increased, a tax increase over the amount shown in the Proposed Budget would have been necessary. Thus, the new refuse fee has resulted in lower taxes. In addition to reviewing the above, the Council needs to decide on three additional C.I.P.

City Park Bike Trail FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES City of Iowa CL MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: RE: DATE: February 2, 1979 Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance V_v Cost of Management Compensation Committee Recommendations The FY80 Budget includes salary increases of 7% for all management personnel. This increase is partly located in the Operating Budgets and partly in the Contingency. The Management Compensation Committee has made recommendations which would cost the following additional amounts: Salaries: General Fund $41,928 Enterprise Funds 6,197 Intragovernmental 2,061 C.D.B.G. 2,401 Assisted Housing 932 $53,519 Disability Insurance: 8,400 Deferred Compensation: _0_ TOTAL COST $61,919 Deferred compensation would have no direct costs to the City. The indirect costs of administering,: the- program would be very minimal. The increase in annual leave, not included above, would result in a direct cost to the City primarily as a result of increasing the maximum amount of annual leave accumulated from 24 days to 44 days. This would result in larger termination wages being paid. On the average, the termination check could be expected to increase by $1,000 to $1,600. The total cost to the City in any one fiscal year is difficult to project as it is totally dependent upon the turnover. Unless we experience a mass exodus of management employees, the annual dollar cost of this item would pro- bably not be very high. It currently is the policy that management employees are allowed to take off comp time to compensate the overtime worked. It is my impression that rarely does a management employee take off comp time anywhere near equivalent to the actual total overtime worked. This recommendation would eliminate the use of comp time by management, thus additional time off would probably not be increased significantly. Historically, due to turnovers and vacancies during the fiscal year, actual expendi- tures for personal services in the General Fund have amounted to approximately 96% of budgeted amounts. We do budget for each authorized position as if it would be filled for all twelve months during the year. The additional cost of the recom- mendation for General Fund is only 1.2% of that funds's total salary budget. There- fore, I am confident that there is enough money within the FY80 Budget to fund the recommended increases in salaries and benefits. Staff has discussed reducing this budget each year for a projected vacancy rate. I am opposed to this for the reason that we cannot accurately product what the turnover rate will be and the over - budgeted amount results in monies available for emergencies or new programs which are impossible to budget for. It, in the past, has provided a 'built-in' contin- gency amount which in the FY80 has been budgeted separately. The City should not 253 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS-DLS 1101DEs 1 ' -2- budget the expenditure of its antipated revenues so tightly that there is no flexibility. Total salaries in the General Fund FY60 Budget amount to $5,043,210,of that amount, 22% is for management salaries and the recommendation would increase the total dollar amount of management salaries paid by an additional 4%. 1 CC: Management Compensation Committee i i i i I I i I � 1 i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES F10111ES LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE REPORT State Transit Assistance The City of Iowa City operates what we believe to be one of the best public transit systems for a city of its size in the country; we are without a doubt the most successful transit system in the State. In spite of this substantial local interest and support, State transit assistance has been disproportionately small. This report will hope- fully enlighten you to our unhappy situation. The State of Iowa has provided financial assistance to local transit operators for the past three years. Transit assistance funds, which last year totaled $1.8 million, have been distributed on an entirely discretionary basis, and Iowa City has been repeatedly shortchanged. In FY77, the City of Iowa City was granted $146,627 in operating assistance. Of this amount only $86,627 was actually awarded, the remaining $60,000 being reserved for the City's proposed dial -a -ride system for the elderly and handicapped. When the resignation of the City's Transit Superintendent prevented implementation of this project before the end of the fiscal year, the money committed to the program was withdrawn by the State. Two months later, when a new superintendent finally got the program rolling, the State refused to release the funds. The net result was that the City received only 60% of the assistance to which we felt entitled. The State's letter of request for grant applications for FY78 indicated that $175,000 was available to Iowa City for transit assistance. Believing that the City could also reclaim the funds withdrawn by the State at the end of the previous year, we submitted an application for $277,205. The Director of the Public Transit Division "retaliated" by awarding Iowa City only $125,257, the entire amount to be used for selected transit improvement projects. No help at all was offered with Iowa City's mounting transit deficit. At the end of the fiscal year, the State's auditors took exception to the bulk of the City's claims for reimbursement, asserting that the State could only subsidize the system's unfunded deficit. Because a series of economy measures had been undertaken, money committed from other sources was adequate to cover most of the cost of the various improvements, and hence there was practically no excess deficit for the State to fund. The City maintains that the Department of Transportation's intent was clearly to fund specific programs, not deficits, and the projects would not have been undertaken were funding not assured. The matter has yet to be finally resolved. For FY79 Iowa City has been awarded operating assistance in the amount of $164,293, a substantial increase over the previous year. However, one of the conditions of the grant is that if the system's operating deficit was less than anticipated, that amount would be returned to the State. A number of cost-cutting measures already taken will cause the transit system to end the year substantially under budget - and every dollar saved will be returned to the State. The temptation to spend money needlessly is overwhelming; there is absolutely no incentive for fiscally responsible management. �sy MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAP]DS-DES 610IDE5 In addition to the transit assistance program, $65,000 was appropriated in FY79 to subsidize transit work -trips for State employees. This program has been an overwhelming success in Iowa City - the number of riders attracted to the transit system has overwhelmed our ability to serve them. Not only did Iowa City Transit monthly pass sales increase by 50% the month the program began, but almost half of the subscribers to the program State-wide are residents of Iowa City. Unfortunately, no additional funds have been allocated to the transit system to help us cope with this greatly increased demand. The City of Iowa City clearly has never been awarded a "fair share" of the money available State-wide for transit assistance. Iowa City Transit's productivity indices are exceptional - we can transport passengers more cost-effectively than any system in the State. Local funding of transit is more than double the expected 2 -mill property tax levy. Our revenue/expense ratio is.41, a most attractive figure, even though we offer evening service, a full Saturday schedule, and specialized transit for the elderly and handicapped. And we have consistently met or exceeded our goals for increased ridership; patronage has grown by 14% over the past year. In spite of all of this success in meeting the various criteria set forth by the State, our transit assistance awards have been mediocre at best. In FY79 Iowa City was granted less than 25% of the total funds awarded to the State's small urban systems - yet we are carrying more passengers than the other ten small systems put together! The City of Iowa City is now working with the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission in the preparation of a Transit Development Program (TDP) Update, which will form the basis of our FY80 transit assistance grant application. The use of a TDP as the primary information source apparently facilitates the evaluation of grant applications by the State DOT, but it adds another layer of bureaucracy to the process and further erodes local control of public transit systems. We have been informed by Ms. JoAnn Short, Director of IDOT's Public Transit Division, that the Governor's budget recommendation includes $2.2 million for transit assistance. It also appears that there may be an excess of $500,000 of unspent transit assistance funds carried over from the present fiscal year. This level of funding, while not overly generous, should be adequate, if it is distributed in a truly fair and equitable manner. We strongly support several changes to the State transit assistance program. First and foremost, The legislative intent that the funds be used for assistance, not subsidy, must be clearly articulated, so that the program will cease to be a funding source of last resort. The program should definitely provide for deficit funding assistance, but it must allow for shared savings, so that operating efficiency is rewarded, not penalized. There should also be opportunity for State assistance with specific projects, so that innovative transit concepts may be tried on a demonstration basis. And the program must MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110InES 3 contain some mechanism, either an allocation formula or a definite set of measurement criteria, on which funding will be based, so that each locality's share of the program will be proportional to local interest in and support of public transit. The City of Iowa City requests your assistance. Thank you.

This past week both the West Benton route and the Hawkeye route have been forced to bypass persons wait- ing on the curb during the morning rush-hour, University Heights is served by both these routes, If present trends continue, we will be unable to carry a^x morning rush-hour riders from University Heights, as the buses will already be full by the time they enter University Heights, In the afternoon peak period the buses are crowded, but neither the West Benton nor the Hawkeye routes has yet been forced to turn away riders. Afternoon traffic, however, is so heavy that we are constantly having scheduling difficulties, and the West Benton route is one of the most affected routes. The extra half-dozen stops in University Heights will make the schedule even more difficult to maintain, to the detriment of all concerned. As much as I deplore the concept of denying tran- sit service to persons living along portions of our routes, I would strongly suggest that the resumption of service to University Heights be deferred until warm weather. Because we are having such great difficulty maintaining our current level of transit service during this severe weather, any expansion of service should be given most careful consideration.

Mose, Transit Manager RE: \ Bypassed Persons At Bus Stops h) As early as last September we were project- ing that the transit system would be unable to handle this winters traffic. The unusually severe weather has fulfilled this prediction - in spades; During the week of January 22, waiting people were bypassed at the following locations: MORNINGS: West Benton Route - West Benton Street and Greenwood Dr, to downtown Hawkeye Route - Hawkeye Drive to downtown East College Route - East College Street, Seventh Ave, to downtown Mall Route - Summit and Bowery Streets to downtown Lakeside Route - Taylor Drive and Hollywood Blvd, to downtown Towncrest Route - Summit and Burlington Streets to downtown. EVENINGS: Outbound from downtown or University Hospital on the following routes: East College, Rochester, Lakeside, and Hawkeye Express We are currently operating fifteen (15) sched- uled rush-hour buses, and are assigning one (1) additional unit on an as -needed basis. When the second bus recently purchased arrives from Chicago, we intend to institute an additional "tripper" route, If the severe weather continues, however, the over -crowding problems will be exacerbated, and we have no solutions.

Dietz, City Engineer Re: Woodland Hills Part 2/Detention Facility At the informal Council meeting of January 15, 1979, a question re- garding the stormwater detention facility for the Woodland Hills Part 2 subdivision was discussed. Please refer to an additional memo addressed to the City Council regarding the proposed procedures for both City and County stormwater detention policies. I believe that memo answers the majority of the questions discussed concerning Woodland Hills Part 2. In addition, a question arose regarding this subdivision specifically concerning the location of the detention facility. I am given to understand that a major concern of the developer is the number of trees that may either be damaged or removed due to the con- struction of the stormwater management facility. The fact is, the Engineering Division does not tell the developer's engineers where exactly the detention facility must be located. That design considera- tion is made by the developer's engineer and we either approve it or disapprove it. When the question came up regarding this subdivision, we did suggest other alternatives that would perhaps allow for a less expensive and more satisfactory location. However, for one reason or another our suggestion was rejected and the developer's engineer chose the site now proposed for the detention facility. If there are other locations for which the developer and his engineer feel are better suited, the Engineering Division would be happy to review them at their convenience. Another question regarding the need for stormwater management was discussed as it relates to the type of ground cover. The basis for the entire ordinance revolves around the release rate of o.15 cfs per acre. From that premise, the guidelines approved by Council provide a means to determine the actual amount of storage required. In other words, the method takes into account the type of ground cover available and either reduces or increases the storage requirements. In this case, the amount of storage required for this wooded land is less than the storage require- ments would be for the same number of acres developed into 1/4 acres lots. To my knowledge, based on the ordinance, there is no disagreement on the technical computations for storage volume between staff and the developer's engineer. jm3/4 MICROFILMr.O BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 95-7 ^�+^^ma,yy� M. . 'q, Date: January 31, 1979 To: Neal Berlin and City Council From: Eugene A. Dietz, City Engineer Re: Storm Water Detention Basins At the informal Council meeting of January 15, 1979, questions were raised regarding the maintenance of storm water detention basins. Specifically, it is my understanding the question regarded who is to maintain these facilities when they are constructed in the city or in the county. Since the first detention facility was constructed in Iowa City, the subdividers agreement has undergone several changes as it relates to storm water detention facilities. The following points highlight the procedures for both in city and county situations. The procedures as outlined for basins within the city are consistent with the methods employed in the more recent subdivisions. Those methods as described for county facilities have been altered as a result of a joint meeting between Engineering and Planning staff on January 30, 1979. There are essentially four main elements addressed in the subdividers agreement for storm water detention facilities and they are: 1. CONSTRUCTION TIMING. City - The construction of the storm water detention facility is required prior to building permits being issued in the subdivision. County - Construction of the detention facility will be required within 18 months following Council approval of the final plat. 2. ESCROW. City - An escrow account may be established in lieu of construction of the detention facility prior to issuance of building permits. County - No escrow account may be provided in the county facilities. 3. MAINTENANCE. City - Control of grass and weeds is the responsibility of the property owner. With the exception of commercial property, the maintenance of the structural elements of the detention facility is the responsibility of the city upon completion and acceptance. In commercial facilities such as the ACT facility, the basin is entirely on private property and will be privately maintained. GZs MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES HOMES z County - The maintenance of grass and weeds is the responsibility of the adjacent property owners. The maintenance of the structural elements of the detention facility would be delegated to a homeowners association and to run to the heirs and assigns of the properties involved. Upon annexation of the property, the city would take over maintenance of the structure elements if in good condition at the time of annexation. 4. EASEMENTS. City - Easements are required for the piping locations as well as maintenance locations for the structural elements of the facility. County - Easements are to be reserved in similar locations as in the city's facilities and would be effectively granted to the city upon annexation. The primary reasons for the difference between city and county installation is as follows: a. Trying to administer an escrow account jointly with the county would be an extremely cumbersome administrative task. b. Since an escrow account is not desirable, it is necessary to provide the developer -a sufficent length of time to construct the facility and yet not delay building permits. Eighteen months is felt to be adequate for this purpose. C. It is felt that it would be extremely undesirable for city vehicles and personnel to perform work operations within the county. d. Although the legal remedies are limited in the county facilities with the above conditions, it is believed that the minimal number of county subdivisions will not create a problem. It was mentioned previously, the procedure as outlined for city facilities is consistent with the recent past history of detention facilities. Unless Council requests changes, the above procedures for county instal- lations will become the policies for future facilities outside the city limits. bdw3/8-10 FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 11011irs "'e City ®4 Iowa CI -0 Date: February 2, 1979 To: Neal Berlin and Cty Council From: Dick Plastino �� Re: Request from Council'to Comment on Planning and Zoning Recommendations Concerning the Closing of Melrose Court Council has asked for a recommendation from the Planning and Program Development Department and the Public Works Department. Staff members submitting this recommendation are Plastino, Kraft, Brachtel, Schmeiser and Boothroy. The recommendation expresses group consensus and no minority opinions will be presented. Each recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission will be listed and the staff recommendation will be explained. A drawing is attached and numbered to aid in understanding this memo. 1. Planning and Zoning Recommendation: That Melrose Court not be closed. Staff Recommendation: Staff believes that Melrose Court should not be closed since it represents one of the few, if inadequate, north -south connectors from the neighborhood area south of Benton to the University Hospital complex. Closing of Melrose Court will divert a significant volume of traffic to the Riverside/Grand Avenue intersection and lessor amounts of traffic to George Street and Sunset Street. Until traffic improvements are made to the Riverside/Grand Avenue/Melrose system, and the resultant impacts monitored, Melrose Court should not be closed. 2. Planning and Zoning Recommendation: That the City Council accept the concept of the Melrose diagonal connecting Melrose Avenue with Grand Avenue to help solve the traffic congestion and access problems around the west side campus and that they instruct City staff to proceed with proposals for the said Melrose diagonal. Staff Recommendation: The City staff concurs with this recommendation. This project should be listed as a capital improvement project in the early to mid 1980's and preliminary discussion should begin with the University at the present time to clear the institutional obstacles to this project such as land ownership, pedestrian traffic routes, transit routes, etc. 2sq MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES HOMES n p 3. Planning and Zoning Recommendation: That as an interim measure the City proceed with acquisition of sufficient land to enlarge the intersection of Grand Avenue and Byington Road to all.ow two turning lanes to the east. Staff Recommendation: Staff concurs. { 6. Planning and Zoning Recommendation: 3 That Melrose Avenue from south Grand Avenue to Byington be maintained as two lanes going one way to the east and that if i necessary one way be added for westbound traffic. i r MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES 4. Planning and Zoning Recommendation: That the City proceed with the widening of Melrose Avenue to four lanes from Woolf Avenue to south Grand using the north right-of-way for the widening. Staff Recommendation: The staff concurs provided that other recommendations listed below are also carried out. It is staff's belief that the traffic carrying capability of this complex of streets will be aided if a full two lanes are available for traffic going each way from the hospital complex. Widening of this section of the road will provide two lanes in each direction. If other staff recommendations are implemented during the interim before a diagonal is built a full two lanes of traffic will be available in each direction from Riverside Drive to Woolf Avenue. 5. Planning and Zoning Recommendation: e b That a four-way stop be established at the intersection of Melrose Court and Brookl and Park Road. i Staff Recommendation: a Staff does not concur. If Melrose Court is to be left open in the interim to carry north -south traffic flows, any measure taken to directly or indirectly reduce traffic flows is illogical. 0 { 6. Planning and Zoning Recommendation: 3 That Melrose Avenue from south Grand Avenue to Byington be maintained as two lanes going one way to the east and that if i necessary one way be added for westbound traffic. i r MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES 7 8. 9. 3 Staff Comment: Staff concurs that this should be two lanes going one way eastbound, however, we recommend against having any traffic westbound. There are only a few houses east of Byington Avenue. The few vehicles generated from these structures can go around the loop to end up going westbound on Melrose Avenue. South Grand should be converted or widened to three lanes (2 southbound and 1 northbound). This will allow buses to remain on their present routes. Planning and Zoning Recommendation: That turns be prohibited between Greenwood and Melrose Court. Staff Recommendation: Staff does not concur. Once again this would be illogical if Melrose Court is to be left open. The origin -destination study showed that a significant number of the vehicles using.Melrose Court are from the apartment complexes that would use Greenwood as their access. In addition, the turn prohibition would not be self enforcing. Planning and Zoning Recommendation: That bus stops on Grand Avenue be redesigned so that they do not impede the flow of traffic. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends against this. Due to the high volumes of traffic flows on Grand Avenue, it would be very difficult for the bus to reenter the traffic stream. With the extensive transit service available in Iowa City, delays to motor vehicles caused by bus stops and starts must be accepted as part of the normal traffic flow. Planning and Zoning Recommendation: That left turns for southbound Byington to eastbound Grand Avenue be prohibited. i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES 4 Staff Recommendation: Staff does not concur. The traffic volumes coming onto Grand Avenue from Byington southbound are minimal and these flows create no significant delays to Grand Avenue traffic. 10. Planning and Zoning Recommendation: That the City investigate with the University the demand for a pedestrian signal at the intersection of Woolf Avenue and i Melrose Avenue. Staff Recommendation: Staff would concur with a recommendation to install walk I signals provided they are sequenced with the vehicular traffic. - In other words, pedestrian flows would walk with vehicle flows rather than operating on a separate phase. Pedestrian compliance with pedestrian signals is almost non-existant in the community, particularly among the college population. Extreme congestion now existing at Melrose and Woolf Avenue tips the balance in favor of maintaining maximum vehicular flows. This will not have a negative influence on pedestrian flows since pedestrian flows usually ignore walk -wait signals as a normal procedure. bdw a 1 I i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES t4oIVES 10 DO INSTALL EXCLUSIVE PH E AT WODLF/MELROSE.

These are: 1. schedule for sign installation; 2. signs, on Sheridan Avenue; 3. commitment to the program. SCHEDULING The Traffic Engineer would like to install alternate side parking signs in the sequence as shown on the attached drawing. Rather than start at one point in town and do that entire area we would like to move around in various areas so that we can eliminate some of the more severe problems initially and move on to other areas later. SHERIDAN AVENUE We believe two points should be made about traffic speeds on Sheridan Avenue. The first point is that most drivers travel at a speed that they feel is logical. We believe that the speed of these drivers on Sheridan will remain unchanged whether parking is or is not allowed on both sides of the street. Spot speed studies conducted at various spots along Sheridan Avenue show that 85 percent of the drivers travel at or below about 29 miles an hour. This is about the same speed drivers travel on many streets in the community that do not have parking allowed on them at any time. For example, on Muscatine Avenue between Court Street and First Avenue the 85th percentile speed is about 30 to 31 miles per hour. Another example is Court Street in the area where parking is not allowed on either side. The 85th percentile between Seventh and First Avenue is approximately 31 miles per hour. The second point concerns speed and time to move from Seventh Avenue to Summit Street. If a vehicle has to stop at points along the street behind a parked car to allow a car coming from the other way to get through, it seems obvious that their travel time will be increased. This lowers their average speed. In summary, we believe that the removal of parking from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the north side of Sheridan will have little impact on the 260 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 2 - majority of vehicles travelling on Sheridan, but there is no doubt that removing parked cars will eliminate cars from having to stop to allow other cars through and therefore the average travel speed will be decreased when traffic is heavy. COMMITMENT TO THE PROGRAM The City Council has faced a dramatic problem in this community regarding street parking. The Council has embarked on a dramatic solution. The City staff is receiving both compliments and complaints on the few streets that have already been posted with alternate side parking. We believe that the City Council will also start receiving several compliments and complaints in the future as the program gets underway. It is likely that the complaints will far outnumber the compliments. As we progress with this program, Council should discuss their commitment to the program and the strength of their resolve in the face Of opposition from individuals and perhaps even groups of individuals on various streets and locations throughout the community. While the Council should always be willing to look at specific instances where the alternate side parking creates specific problems, the program will turn into a complete shambles if Council starts exempting streets based on the volume of opposition. Public Works has no recommendations or conclusions to make regarding this subject except to suggest the Council discuss it and make sure that we are heading in the right direc- tion and that Council fully supports that direction. bdw3/1-2 Enclosure MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES Date: January 39, 1979 To: Neal Berlin and Cit,��ncil From: Dick Plastino Re: Request from Council on Feasibility of Calendar Parking on River Street and Grove Street River Street At the present time the south side of River Street is, posted "No Parking Anytime" and the north side is posted "No Parking 8 AM -5 PM, Monday -Friday." The centerline stripe of River Street is shifted to the south up the hill to provide a lane of passage during the night time hours when parking would be allowed on the north side.

Public Works would recommend that River Street not be placed in the alternative side street parking classification. Grove Street At the present time the south side of Grove Street is posted "No Parking Anytime" with uncontrolled parking on the north side. Grove Street would be a likely candidate for alternate side parking but a more reasonable approach would be to post the north side "No Parking B AM -5 PM, Monday -Friday." The Traffic Engineer will submit a memo putting this into effect and Council will then disapprove it or approve it as per the usual Procedure. bj2/5 cc: Jim Brachtel MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES i i STANLEY CONSULTANTS INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTS IN ENGINEERING, ARCHITECTURE, PLANNING, AND MANAGEMENT FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES tIDItIES "A ell 7448 DESIGN OUTLINE FOR RALSTON CREEK STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PROJECT SOUTH BRANCH DETENTION STRUCTURES PREPARED FOR CITY OF IOWA CITY BY STANLEY CONSULTANTS, INC.

Previous studies determined the approximate location for the structure and selected the dry dam concept as opposed to a wet bottom reservoir. Three alternatives for construction of dry dams have been developed for the south branch of Ralston Creek and are presented in this design outline. The hydrologic and hydraulic basis for design are presented along with design criteria and cost estimates for each alterna- tive. Background Information Alternatives considered consist of the construction of one or two dry dams on the South Branch of Ralston Creek near the eastern city limits of Iowa City. Upstream drainage area at the project location is 1.42 square miles (909 acres). The United States Geological Survey (USGS) established a recording stream gaging station on the South Branch of Ralston Creek adjacent to Muscatine Street in 1963• Five recording rain gages have also been located in or immediately adjacent to the drainage basin for the past several years. The Department of Mechanics and Hydraulics of the College of Engineering at the University of Iowa compiles data obtained from these stream and rain gaging stations and prepares an annual progress report on hydrologic investigations in the Ralston Creek drainage basin. Rainfall and stream gaging information was obtained from the University and from USGS for use in this study. The drainage area located upstream of the proposed dry dam is pre- sently used for agricultural purposes. However, the drainage area is located Immediately adjacent to residential development and it is envisioned that the drainage area will become urbanized during the coming 7448 MICROFILMED BY DORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES t70I1iES f rl«6 L years. It would be possible to size the proposed storm water detention structure for the existing agricultural condition with the stipulation that as upstream areas become urbanized, additional storm water detention capacity must be provided by the developer. Another alternative is to size the proposed structure assuming future development of all or a portion of the upstream drainage area. This would reduce or eliminate the need for additional storm water retention capacity as the upstream watershed becomes urbanized. During development of alternatives, it was decided that, as a minimum, the storm water detention basin should be sized considering a portion of the upstream watershed in an urbanized condition. This would allow for precipitation which falls directly on the flood pool and for future development immediately around the flood pool where it would be difficult to provide additional detention capacity in the future. To meet this criteria two alternatives have been developed assuming a future condition with 25 percent (220 acres) of the upstream watershed in an urbanized condition. As additional upstream area (in excess of 220 acres) is developed, local storm water detention facilities will be required in accordance with the Iowa City storm water run-off ordinance. A third alternative has been developed assuming a future condition with the upstream watershed 100 percent urbanized. This alternative eliminates the need for construction of additional storm water detention capacity if the upstream watershed becomes urbanized with residential developments. All three alternatives are described in greater detail in a later section of this report. The term urbanization as used in this report describes single family residential developments similar to those located in the South Branch of Ralston Creek drainage area Immediately downstream of the project site. With 100 percent urbanization, approximately 30 percent of the ground is covered with impervious surfaces such as streets, sidewalks, roofs, and driveways. The 100 percent urbanization condition would allow for some minor strip development in the drainage basin. However, if shopping centers, large parking lots, large buildings, or other similar develop- ments are constructed, additional detention capacity would be required for those facilities. 7448 2 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES I Hydraulic and Hydrologic Bases of Design Previous Studies - Review of reports on previous investigations of flooding in the South Branch of Ralston Creek reveals that two approaches have been employed to determine flood magnitude. Iowa Natural Resources Council Bulletin No. 11 "Floods in Iowa: Technical Manual for Estimating Their Magnitude and Frequency" has been used to estimate peak discharges of certain recurrence intervals. Results obtained from Bulletin No. 11 assume conditions in the basin under study are representative of average conditions in a region which extends completely across the state of Iowa. The standard error of 100 -year flood peak estimates derived from Bulletin No. 11 is reported as 44 percent. Most of the data employed in formulating the "Regional Equations" presented in Bulletin No. 11 is derived from gaging station records on streams which have not experienced urban development. Since approximately 25 percent of the drainage area upstream of the gaging sta- tion on the South Branch of Ralston Creek is developed, peak flow esti- mates obtained using the "Regional Equations" may not agree with peak flow projections based on the Ralston Creek gaging station records. Bulletin No. 11 provides no indication of the effect of impoundments upon flood peak discharges. This study used Bulletin No. II as a guide to the magnitude of discharge peaks of the inflow hydrographs of the proposed flood control structures for the South Branch of Ralston Creek. Other estimates have been developed from a computer program ascribed to R. L. Rossmiller and M. D. Dougal of the Engineering Research Institute at lava State University. Results derived from this method appear reason- able but basic input data such as design precipitation, run-off losses, method of hydrograph development and, in particular, calibration against measured data reasonably representative of the study basin has not been presented in previous reports. M independent check of the hydrologic design of flood control structures for the South Branch of Ralston Creek has been considered essential and is described in this report. Methods Employed - This study attempted to arrive at firm estimates of precipitation losses by comparisons between rainfall measurements from _J 7448 3 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIFIES 's s —' v i 3i! 7 i y : G ' f `l r. f, five rain gages distributed over the basin and the actual volume of run- off recorded at the stream gaging station on the South Branch of Ralston Creek. Hydrographs recorded at the gaging station also provide a pre- liminary indication of the parameters to use in formulating synthetic unit hydrographs for other parts of the basin. A run-off model was developed for the South Branch of Ralston Creek utilizing rainfall data from the five rain gaging stations and resultant run-off hydrographs from the stream gaging station. Design storms were developed for the study area utilizing data presented in U.S. Weather Bureau (USWB) Technical Paper 40. The run-off model was then calibrated against both recorded flood discharge frequency data at the existing gaging station and also against flood peak estimates given by the regional equations. Following adjustment of basic parameters necessitated by this cali- bration procedure, flood inflow hydrographs have been generated for the reservoirs investigated in this study and have been routed to evaluate peak reservoir outflow and stage and also duration of flooding upstream of the "dry dam" retarding structures. Computational effort was facilitated by use of computer programs. Use was made of the following: 1. Program WSP03, T was used to "backwater" through the creek channel for the purpose of providing a tailwater rating curve. A particular asset of this program is its ability to introduce several cross sections within a closed conduit. This was advantageous for this study since the outlet conduits of the proposed reservoir do not flow full at its downstream end. Continuation of backwater computations through the culvert resulted in computed reservoir elevation for any given tail - water elevation. 2. Program HYD01, T. This is a basin run-off modeling program for the generation and routing of flood hydrographs through a river system. Hydrographs for tributary areas are generated using the Clark Synthetic Unit Graph (Trans. ASCE Vol. 110, 1954) and USWB Technical Paper 40 input. Precipitation losses were 7448 4 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOEI+ES ` estimated by use of run-off curve number concept developed ? by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service. This program synthesizes 0 floods in a basin b h dro ra h Y Y g p generation, channel or reservoir routing and combination of hydrographs at confluence points. ,._ 3• Program 2RES1, T. This program was written for this study for the purpose of "tandem" routing through the two reservoirs r which constitute one of the plans investigated. These two i,..� reservoirs are so close together that the culvert of the upper i reservoir at times becomes submerged beneath the lower pool. 1 When this occurs, storage in the upper reservoir is no longer �i a single valued function of outflow (the concept employed in - most computer programs for reservoir routing -including HYD01, T) but also varies with level in the downstream pool. Program 2RES1, T routes floods through the two pools simultaneously and thus keeps track of submergence effects on the outlet culvert of the upstream reservoir. Soil Conservation Service Run-off Curve Number - Records of precipita- tion and consequent run-off for 12 storms which produced significant —1 rises in the South Branch of Ralston Creek were analyzed. For each storm, the value of run-off curve number was computed by inversion of the SCS I! run-off equation yielding: CN = 200 2+P+2R- R 5x P+ x R whe re : CN = Run-off curve curve number. �r P = Total precipitation (inches). -'; R = Total run-off (inches over the basin area). Values of curve number obtained in this manner varied between 73.6 and 97.5 and averaged 84.6. This scatter is to be expected and reflects antecedent moisture conditions and the effect of growth of vegetation upon interception. It is believed that these results are typical of conditions -r likely to be met in the basin at the times of peak floods. To provide a �i small factor of safety against the likelihood of adverse conditions prior to extremely bad floods, a small antecedent rainfall in addition to the ,J 7448 V MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES 740 precipitation data derived from USWB Technical Paper 40 has been used for this study, Precipitation/duration/frequency data derived from USWB Technical Paper 40 for Iowa City is presented in Appendix A of this report. Clark Unit Graph Parameters - Examination of four well shaped hydro - graphs and adjustment of trial values of Clark Unit Graph parameters Tc and R for best fit, resulted in preliminary estimates of these factors accord- ing to the tentative relationship. Tentative Relationship = Tc = R = 0.56x Travel time through main water Figure I shows one such trial fit. When these values were used in conjunc- tion with the average run-off curve number of 85 and precipitation data from USWB Technical Paper 40 (with a small antecedent precipitation allowance) and checked against historical flood frequency and also against results obtained from the regional equations, an unexpectedly wide divergence was found. a TIME AM -- " 1 t TIME PM FIGURE 1 • SYNTHETIC UNIT GRAPH PARAMETERS TO RECORDED FLOOD HYDROGRAPH 6 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -Drs 110I1jEs i I Flood discharge/frequency estimates based upon actual measured flaws at the gaging station located on the South Branch of Ralston Creek (Histori- cal Record) suffer from the fact that the period of record is sufficient for a reasonable estimate of the 5 to 10 year flood peaks only. These values ,.._; agree well with results obtained from use of regional equations described 3 in Bulletin No. II for the 10 -year flood but show a wide discrepancy when projected to the 100 -year level. Values obtained by hydrograph development using the tentative values of Tc and R described above were appreciably higher than those obtained from either S of the two previous methods. Values of Tc and R have been adjusted upwards to result in computed hydrograph peaks agreeing with the Historical Record for more frequent floods and with the regional equations for the larger, less frequent floods.

Design Storm - Throughout this study a 0.5 hour routing interval -- g i and 0.5 hour precipitation excess duration was used for each unit hydrograph.

Travel time is defined as the u1 time of passage of flow down the main channel to the outlet of a tributary area computed from the average velocity in the channel when running bank full. Travel time to the gaging station on the South Branch 1s computed to be 1.44 hours. Consequently, values of Tc = 1.15 and R = 1.44 for a `j drainage area of 2.92 square miles were (at the gaging station) were used for the calibration described above. r Travel time computed to the upstream extremity of the proposed reser- voir is 0.8 hours while travel time from the drainage divide to the dam 1s 0.9 hour. For development of design reservoir inflow hydrographs, values of Tc = 0.64 and R = 0.90 were used for the basin above the dams in its natural state. No allowance has been made for direct rainfall -I upon the reservoir or for valley storage due to stream flow in the design routings. 1, i 7448 8 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES IIOIIIEs i� The Clark Unit Graph method requires the use of a time/area curve. This curve describes the fraction of area contributing to outflow at different fractions of Tc under uniform flow conditions. The default curve values derived by the Corps of Engineers for their basin modeling program HEC -I were used in this study for "natural basin" conditions. Under full urban development, "overland flow" is carried by paved channels and storm sewers and is consequently much faster than for natural basins. Travel time in the natural channel will remain essentially unchanged necessitating some modification to the time/area curve for complete urban development above the proposed dams.

To reflect a decreased value of R due to shallower and faster 'overland flow" R was reduced to 0.45 for a fully urbanized condition above the reservoirs. Tc has been unchanged for the fully urbanized condition because it is assumed that the natural stream channel wi11 continue to be used to convey flood waters as it has been through downstream areas in Iowa City. Using the model described above, six floods were routed through three alternative flood control reservoir systems on the South Branch of Ralston Creek. Results obtained from one such routing are shown graphically on Figure 2. Complete results are summarized in Table 1.

STORM If pipe sizes through the dams are increased, the amount of time that stream levels exceed bank elevation in the reservoir will drop below 48 hours. However, peak discharge rates will increase well above 0.15 cfs per acre. If the culvert length can be decreased during final design, the peak discharge will increase slightly and the flooding time will be reduced. Spillway design floods for this project have been based upon probable maximum precipitation in order to assure a conservative design in view of the extensive residential development which exists downstream of the project. Spillways have been designed to pass the maximum probable storm of 9,877 cfs for the 25 percent urban development condition and 11,334 cfs 7448 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IJOINEs for full urban development of the upstream basin. Water depth over the top of the dam will be about 2.7 feet during passage of the maximum probable storm. Results presented in Table I are closely related to culvert diameters and lengths selected for the various proposed designs. These will be des- cribed later in this report. Additional information relative to the routing is included in the appendices to this report. Appendix B provides reservoir area and storage data for the tandem dams. Appendix C provides reservoir area and storage data for the single dam. Appendix D provides reservoir routing data for the tandem dams. Appendix E provides reservoir routing data for the single dam designed for 25 percent upstream urban development, while Appendix F provides reservoir routing data for the single dam designed for complete upstream urban development. Alternative Development Three alternatives for construction of dry dams have been developed for the South Branch of Ralston Creek. Alternative 1 consists of the construction of two dams to act in series as shown on Figure 3. The down- stream dam is located to serve as the road embankment for the future extension of Scott Boulevard. The upstream dam is located such that a roadway could be placed across the top of the dam at some future date. Existing land use in the upstream watershed is mainly agricultural with a majority of the area devoted to row crops. The downstream watershed is presently developed with residential housing and as Iowa City grows, it is anticipated that the upstream watershed will become urbanized. The dams for Alternative I are sized assuming a future condition with 25 percent (approximately'220 acres) of the upstream watershed to be in an urbanized condition. Alternative 2 consists of the construction of one dam to coincide with the future location of Scott Boulevard. Alternative 2 is also sized assuming 25 percent of the upstream watershed to be in an urbanized condi- tion. Alternative 3 is the same as Alternative 2 except that the facili- ties are sized assuming a future condition with the upstream watershed to be 100 percent urbanized. Alternative 3 is shown on Figure 4. A separate 7448 rA 12 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110I11ES i figure is not presented for Alternative 2 since it is very similar to Alternative 3. The 5 -year and 100 -year flood pools behind the proposed dams are shown on Figures 3 and 4 along with the 100 -year flood plain which occurs without the project. The peak pool elevations, duration of flooding, and flooded areas for each alternative for several different frequency storms are tabulated in Table 1 which was presented earlier. Table 2 presents design data for the three alternatives. With Alternative 1, the roadway embankment for Scott Boulevard has a height of 11 feet above the creek bank and the upstream embankment has a height of 13 feet above the creek bank. With Alternative 2 it is necessary to raise the Scott Boulevard embankment 3 feet to a depth of 14 feet to eliminate the need for the second upstream embankment. Alternative 3 indicates that it is only necessary to raise the Scott Boulevard embank- ment one additional foot up to a height of 15 feet to provide storm water retention for a 100 -year storm assuming that the entire upstream watershed is in a urbanized condition and no additional upstream impoundment is installed. Figure 5 shows a typical section and profile of the Scott Boulevard dam. This dam has been sized with a 71 -foot wide top for the future addi- tion of a four -lane roadway. The top of the dam will accommodate a 45 - foot roadway with an 8 -foot wide combination sidewalk and bicycle path on one side and a 4 -foot wide sidewalk on the other side. Space is also provided for parkways between the roadway and sidewalks. Four to one side slopes have been used on the Scott Boulevard Dam. The upstream dam for Alternative i has been sized with a 54 -foot wide top for the possible future addition of a 28 -foot roadway. This 54 -foot width allows space for sidewalks and parkways in addition to the roadway. Three to one side slopes have been used on the upstream embankment. The dams for each alternative are sized to hold the run-off from a 100 -year storm. Due to the topography of the area it is impractical to provide emergency spillways around the ends of the dams and the dams have been designed for overtopping. The top of each dam is set at or slightly above the 100 -year flood elevation and on the long-term average water will i 7448 13 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 1401R[5 V r TABLE 2 00 DESIGN DATA FOR ALTERNATIVE DRY DAMS Top of Dam Elevation, ms] Height Above Creek Bed, ft.

The structure is designed such that the run-off from a maximum probable storm can overtop the dam without failure of the structure. It is necessary to have the future roadway on top of the dam placed at a zero percent grade for several hundred feet so that in the event the dam is overtopped, water depths and velocities over the top of the dam are minimized. In order to provide drainage for the future roadway it will be necessary to eliminate curbs on the portion of the roadway placed at zero percent grade. Slope protection is required on the downstream face of the dam to prevent erosion when the dam is overtopped. A gabion mat (wire mesh baskets filled with rock) is proposed for this slope protection on the entire downstream face of the dam. A concrete cutoff wall is connected to the gabion mat on the top of the dam to anchor the top edge of the mat in place and to provide integrity of the shoulder of the embankment against erosion. The proposed dam will consist of a homogeneous compacted earth fill and will be constructed similar to a roadway embankment. Top soil will be stripped from the dam location and a keyway will be cut in the existing ground surface to provide a positive contact between the dam and the existing ground. Top soil will also be stripped and stockpiled from the borrow area prior to construction of the dam. Borrow material will be transported to the dam and placed and compacted in lifts until design elevations are reached. Upon completion of the embankment, top soil will be spread on the borrow area and the upstream face of the dam. The borrow area, upstream face of the dam, and other disturbed areas will then be seeded to minimize erosion. The fill height of the embankment will be designed to compensate for anticipated settlement. When the roadway is constructed at some future date It may be necessary to remove or add a small amount of fill on top of the dam to meet the final design grade. The proposed location for the borrow area is shown on Figures 3 and 4. The approximate amount of borrow material required Is as follows: Alternative 1 - 66,000 cubic yards Alternative 2 - 49,000 cubic yards Alternative 3 - 55,000 cubic yards 7448 r 15 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES I 0 Detailed soils investigations will be conducted prior to final design to confirm the suitability of the borrow material and the foundation material at the dam site. Examination of drilling logs of holes bored in the vicinity indicate suitable materials and foundation conditions and little difficulty is anticipated in designing stable structures in this location. A corrugated metal pipe culvert will be used through the dam. Sizes and lengths of culverts to be used for each alternative are shown in Table 2. Antiseep collars will be placed on the culvert to prevent seepage and erosion of material around the outside of the pipe. The stream channel at the inlet and outlet of the culvert will also be protected to prevent erosion in the stream channel. Routine maintenance of the structures will be necessary to check the culverts for tree limbs or other obstructions and to mow weeds and grass on the embankment. Trees which have fallen across the channel or are in poor condition should be removed from the creek upstream from the structure to minimize debris accumulating at the culvert during storms. An access road for maintenance vehicles will be required to the site. Construction Cost Estimate Construction cost estimates have been developed for each alternative and are presented below: CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATES Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Alternative 3 25% Urbanization 25% Urbanization 100% Urbanization 2 Dams 1 Dam I Dam Embankment Construction $189,000 $146,000 $159,000 Slope Protection 408,000 253,000 268,000 Culvert 27,000 14,000 14,000 Miscellaneous 93,000 61,000 66,000 Estimated Contract Cost $717,000 $474,000 $507,000 The cost estimate is based on current prices and is applicable for construc- tion during 1979. The estimated contract cost includes all material and labor for construction of a complete project but does not include non - construction items such as engineering, legal, contingencies, land acquisition, and soils investigations. _I 7448 16 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES td01tICS Embankment construction includes all earthwork and seeding costs. Slope protection includes costs for protection of the downstream slope of the dams, protection of the channel upstream and downstream from the culverts, and construction of the concrete cutoff wall on the top of the dam. Alternative 1 is the most expensive at $717,000 due to the construction of two dams. Alternative 3 (100 percent urbanization) is $33,000 higher than Alternative 2 (25 percent urbanization) due to the dam being one foot higher. Recommendations The two dam alternative (Alternative 1) is the most expensive, requires the most land, and would also require more maintenance than the other alternatives and is therefore not recommended for implementation. The two single dam alternatives are very similar. The embankment on Alternative 3 is one foot higher than on Alternative 2. This extra foot of height is estimated to cost $33,000, but with anticipated residential development eliminates the need to build additional storm water retention capacity In the upstream drainage basin at some future date. Due to the relatively small additional cost for the increased storage volume, Alternative 3 is recommended for implementation. It is recommended that the city proceed with property and easement acquisition for this project. Field surveys and soils investigations should also be undertaken so that final construction plans and specifica- tions can be prepared. Respectfully submitted, STANLEY CONSULTANTS,, INC.

The Commission is concerned about the resulting effect on Code enforcement and the entire inspection process. At the same time, we are aware that legal staff time limitations or other factors may have a bearing on this situation. We would appreciate some comments from you as soon as possible regarding this situation and desire to work with you in solving any problems which may arise regarding housing issues. Inci- dentally, if staff time is a significant consideration, we have been advised that CBDG money may be available to assist cities in these .kinds of predicaments. The Commission appreciates your attention to this matter. If it is at all possible for you or one of your assistants to attend our meeting on February 7, 1979, you would be most welcome. Please let Lyle Seydel know in order that you may be placed on the agenda.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES RO RIES ,2G3 I 1. T0: City Council Members /f / Jan arY 3, 1979 FROM: Iowa City Housing Commission Jerald Smithey, Chairperson I The Iowa City Housing Commission is aware of at least two cases which were heard by the Housing Board of Appeals and which have come to the attention of the CityCoun that changes required cil because the appellants were of the opinion were, in one way or another, unreasonable. The Board of Appeals has continued to be frustrated when dealing with cases where alterations in the buildings seem either impossible to make or where it appears that an undue financial hardship to the owner will result. However, it is our opinion that neither the City Housing Occupancy and Maintenance Code nor the Code of Iowa gives the Board the authority to grant variances. The resulting difficulties for owners/landlords/tenants are apparent. Consequently, the Commission requests that the Council consider the need for changes in the Housing Occupancy and Maintenance Code to meet contem- porary needs. Areas of focus might be on changing some specifications set out in the Housing Occupancy and Maintenance Code or giving the Board of Appeals or some body the authority to grant variances where apparent vio- lations of the Code do not appear to jeopardize the health, safety or welfare of the occupants or the public. An example might be inadequate ceiling heights as heard in Board of Appeals cases on December 14, 1978. The Housing Inspection Office, we understand, is also concerned about various problem areas in the Housing Occupancy and Maintenance Code, and could likely provide valuable input in this matter. That office has been extremely cooperative in dealing with both the Board of Appeals and the Housing Commission, and perhaps together some solutions can be found to the presently frustrating situation. We therefore request a meeting with the City Council at its convenience for informal discussion of these matters. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 11011JES 9 JIM LEACH In Gmrr.

FINANCE AND URBAN AFFAIRS POST OI/ICL AND CIVIL SERVICE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES V January 22, 1979 4 The Honorable Juanita Kreps Secretary of Commerce Washington,'D.C. Dear Madam Secretary: Several times over the last two years I have corresponded with the Office of Management and Budget and the Department of Commerce regarding criteria for designation as and definition of Local Metropolitan Statistical Areas and Major Metropolitan Statistical Areae. These criteria are currently in the process of being revised and I am particularly concerned how these changes might effect the status of one geographical section of my Congressional District. The Iowa City -Johnson County area had hoped to achieve SMSA statue after the 1980 census. According to a 1974 special census, the Johnson County population was 75,025. The Johnson County Regional planning Commission estimates it will be approximately 80,000 by 1980. However, the Commission feels it will be many years, if ever, before a county population of 100,000 is reached. Consequently, officials are concerned about plans by your Department to eliminate the Central City option of achieving SMSA status and to require a 100,000 minimum population requirement for the Urbanized Area option. Iowa City's current population is estimated to be in excess of 50,000. Understandably, Iowa City and Johnson County officials feel considerable frustration with the proposed changes in that their chances of obtaining SMSA designation in 1980 under the current criteria are very good. In the event that the criteria are modified as they appeared in the November 1978 issue of the Statistical Reporter, I have been informed that local officials would consider at least two options: (1) conduct a special census or (2) deannex some rural land by one of the communities in the urbanized area (in order orncrol I92 S.

In order for local officials to be best able to Judge what is the most appropriate course of action, certain questions need to be clarified. I would greatly appreciate your responses to the following queries: 1. Would the Iowa City—Johnson County area achieve SMSA designation if a special census this year indicated that the minimum population had been achieved? 2. If the area received such designation and assuming the current SMSA criteria are revised, would the area retain its designation after the 1980 census? If so, how long after? 3. Would the entire county'need to be surveyed in the special census or just the urbanized area? 4. What would be the cost of a special census? 5. The Iowa City area would have achieved designation after the 1974 special census except for the fact that one of the communities had a population density of less than 1,000 per square mile. The actual population of the urbanized area in 1974 was 55,530. Consequently, the second option of deannexation might also be considered by local authorities if answers to the following questions indicate such an approach might be feasible. Accordingly, would the area be certified as an SMSA if sufficient land were deannexed to achieve the proper population density? 6. Would a special census be required along with deannexation procedures? If required, could it be limited to the affected community? Local officials need to make decisions on this matter in the near future and, thus, I would be most appreciative if I could hear from you at your earliest convenience. Please call me if you require further information in order to respond to the questions I have posed. Thank you for your assistance. JL:Jct cc: The Hon.

Items for the agenda of January 30 include: Resolution accepting the elevator at the Recreation Center Second consideration for two ordinances from Housing and Inspection Services Snow emergency ordinance 10 recommendations from Planning and Zoning Commission iii A memorandum from the City Manager was distributed to the staff which expressed the Council's appreciation to the City employees involved in the snow removal program during recent storms. This memorandum is to be passed on by the department heads to the employees involved. A memorandum from the City Manager was distributed to the staff advising that roofs of the City buildings should be checked for excess snow accumulation. This is to be done periodically during the remainder of the winter season. The City Manager asked for volunteers to serve on a committee to review work rules. Lolly Eggers, Dale Helling and Harvey Miller offered to serve in this capacity. The City Manager added that persons other than City employees may be asked to work with this group. The Finance Director advised that the City will soon go to accrual accounting basis. All fixed assets will need to be listed. Within the next couple of weeks, information will be sent to the staff as to what is involved. The Director of Planning and Program Development noted that the telephone system was not functioning normally. The Finance Director advised that a system will be available soon whereby the switchboard can keep some lines open for staff use. This will be available early in February. The Police Chief advised that some assistance is needed at the switchboard before and after office hours. The Finance Director will meet with the Police and Fire Chiefs concerning this matter.

But, he said "the general state of assessing Is deplorably Inaccurate" and We Census figures "exaggerates" tow good the Iowa situation is because of the way that study was done. Not much of a case Iowa City officials made their case In court about why they 'don't want breast-feeding In fire stations, and It wasn't much of a case. It. amounted to the fire chlef'a tear that if he allowed Linda ,Eaton's child to visit the station for breast-feeding, he would have to allow regular visits by the relatives,of other. firefighters. The chief said that whee Eaton broached the idea, he rejected it at once. "I saw 'immediate chaos;' he testified. The chm was caused by the city's decision to suspend Eaton, She showed before she was suspended that she could nurse her baby and do her job: If the chlef worried that other firefighters would demand the same visiting, privileges given Eaton, he could have told them that they, too, could have regular visits for breast-feeding, The court temporarily blocked the city from disciplining Eaton, pending action on the case by the Iowa Civil Itights Commission. With the commission, the attorney general's office and the courts in the act, Ian Eaton could be enrolled in the University of Iowa before the case gets resolved.. Iowa City would be prudent. to spare Itself further legal headaches by withdrawing Its objections to Linda Eaton's breast-feeding. 2,46 9 VL 2 iO IIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101u[s ■ Consultant reveals plan for D.M. redevelopment A consultant for the city of Des Moines began Thursday to unveil a multi -million -dollar downtown re- development plan for the areas near the Civic Center theater and plaza now under construction.

A praliminary sketch depicted a glass -enclosed mall with retail shops adjacent to the office towers. a A city parking garage spanning Fourth Street behind the Savery Hotel and United Federal Savings and Loan Association office, with up to 500 stalls to provide parking for the Civic Center theater as well as the hotel and businesses in the area, a A 150-unll housing project for the elderly and handicapped already proposed by First Baptist Housing Foundation Inc. for the southeast corner of Fifth and Grand Avenues, with the ground floor leased for a drive-in bank or other commercial use. a "Luxury" condominium units at the northeast comer of Fifth. Avenue and Locust Street, west of the Savery Hotel. ' a A hotel or office building east of United Federal's present office, and possibly a new headquarters building for the savings and loan at its present site. a A retail or office development an the block bounded by Second and Grand avenues, Third and' Locust streets, now owned by the city and being used for surface parking. In addition to the consultants' plans, City Council members said several other downtown redevelop- ment projects are being considered by city officials. Those Include: a A ground transportation terminal on the block bounded by Fifth, Sixth and Grand Avenues and Keosauqua Way, where people could, at one location, board and depart from private and public buses and taxicabs. ' a An "old town" row of small shops and other businesses along a renovated Court Avenue generally between the Polk County Courthouse and the Des Moines River. As city officials began revealing the consultants' concepts, negotia- tions continued this week on the Issue of the cost of a parking garage to serve the new hotel under construc- tion at Seventh and Locust streets. With things coming to a head on that parking garage and on the location of the Baptist housing proposal, and with the consultants' newproposal for the Civic Center area, Mayor Richard Olson said: "Monday night (the night of the next official council meeting) will probably be the most Important night as far as the development of downtown Des Moines in all my years As for the Zuchelli plan, which features & parking garage for the Civic Center and other users northwest of the center rather than Immediately to the north of the theater, the total public and private cost estimates were unavailable Thursday, although Councilman Archie Brooks said they might exceed =35 million. But Olson noted that other than the city cal of building the parking ramp and relocating any businesses that might be displaced by private deve- lopment, most of the cat _ and the Impetus for putting the plan Into effect — would be up to Des Moines' private sector. The mayor said the plan's message to private businessmen should be: "It's started; you'd better jump on the bandwagon."

BACKGROUND OF THE PROGRAM The Johnson County Regional Planning Commission, at the request of Iowa i City, as well as other interested groups in the area, has undertaken a county- wide human services planning program, The program will provide input into the _ Iowa City Comprehensive Plan in the human service area and will provide guid- ance to other policy-making groups in the community on future directions of social services. Up to 75 percent of the financial support for the planning effort comes from Iowa City Community Development funds via a specific con- tract with the City of Iowa City. The balance of the funding is being pro- vided by the Regional Planning Commission. A Steering Committee was appointed by the Commission in early September, --� 1976 to develop a k preliminary work program and to determine ... ' i priorities for _1 program directions. The committee met on a weekly basis into December when it submitted recommendations to the Commission. Steering Committee members were: _.J Carol Spaziani, representing citizens; Florence Stockman, representing Johnson fCounty; Neal Berlin, Dennis Kraft and Linda Schreiber, representing the Iowa City Administration; Doris Bridgeman, appointed by Iowa City, Faith Knowler, repre- senting United Way of Johnson County; Emil Brandt and Isabel Turner, represent- ing the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission. Staff assistance was provided by Emil Brandt, Regional Planning Commission Executive Director, and Mary McCue, Research Assistant. After the work program 1 was adopted in January, Constance Echternach was hired as the Human Services !!) Project Director and Pamela Ramser as Assistant Planner. Ms. Echternach resigned .. in December, 1977, and Sally Baldus served as Project Director from January through July of 1978. Pamela Ramser replaced her in August, 1978 and is the current director of the program. At the recommendation of the Steering Committee, a Human Services Committee of the Regional Planning Commission was created to provide overall policy advice for the study. This committee, composed of approximately 35 members, includes 1) representatives of local funding bodies, (i.e., Iowa City, Johnson County, and the United Way); 2) human service board members; 3) staff from public and private human service agencies; 4) consumers of services and informed citizens; and 5) representatives of the University of Iowa.

GOAL AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAM The goal and objectives of the human service planning program, as recommended by the Steering Committee and adopted by the Regional Planning commission, are: Goal: To make the planning and implementation of human services in Johnson County as efficient and effective as possible by providing Policy makers with the information necessary to make sound decisions about needs and resources for programs such as health, recreation, social services, economic opportunity, education/information and transportation. Objectives: 1. To supply data about existing programs and agencies. a. To provide for meaningful organization of existing data. b. To gather new data as needed to supplement or to fill gaps in existing data. 2. To identify the human needs of the residents of Johnson County and to determine the extent to which these needs are being met. 3-� To analyze and correlate the information on human needs in order to make it useful for decision makers in formulating programs and allocating resources. 4. To establish a mechanism for ongoing planning and coordination of human services, to include a way for keeping information on services and needs current and available. Because the area of human services encompasses a variety of resources, priority areas needed to be set. The Steering Committee used the following criteria in selecting the priority areas for the first two years of the pro- ject: 1) the programs in each area would have some degree of local funding (i.e., from Iowa City, Johnson County, or United Way), thus assuring some local program leverage; 2) there was a feeling on the part of the Steering Committee that substantial unmet needs and other related concerns existed in the program area; and 3) the study of the service systems could be accomplished within the time frame of the Project. The Steering Committee which organized the planning effort was disbanded after formation of the Human Services Committee. The members of the newly formed Human Services Committee were each assigned to one of the four subcommittees established to deal with the four major areas under study.

DATA COLLECTION AND PRIORITIES OF PROGRAM AREAS Data on human services and unmet needs was collected from a variety of local resources through questionnaires, personal interviews, and group meetings. An effort was made to use data included in previous studies and surveys, both within and outside of Johnson County. The agencies and individuals contacted and the methods used are too numerous to recount here. This information is available —� through materials on file at the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission. 1 6e) Program Development: Includes development of a program proposal for a human services support network to begin in July, 1979 (after the termination of this phase of the Human Services Planning Program), study of information and referral services, and other activities to make the delivery of services in John- son County more efficient and effective. NOTE: The Steering Committee dealt with in this chart is composed of the Chairpersons of the five sub -committees and should not be confused with the Steering Committee used to develop the Human Services Project initially. The data which was collected has been compiled into fourteen service area `i profiles, the major sections of which are: Goal, Service Area Description, Problem Description, Service Population, Services Provided, and Unmet Needs. Recommendations were developed from the information contained in the Unmet Needs portion of the profiles. The profiles were then sent to relevant agencies for J their review. Corrections submitted by the agencies were incorporated into the profiles. r' 1. Counseling 2. Mental Health 3. Substance Abuse ^+ 4. Emergency Assistance to Residents JI 5.

There has been no formal _v_ MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 610INES ranking of individual service areas against each other. However, of the eight service areas studied during 1977, the area of Emergency Assistance to Transients was informally given first priority. Of the six service areas studied during 1978, the areas of In -Home Support Services and Child Care were seen to be of high priority, while the areas of Disabilities and Foster Care developed as low priority. -vi- MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES I Ei Is W Ii �i I I J a rt sy 'b TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface...........................

SERVICE AREA DESCRIPTION The system of services to individuals with developmental and acquired disabilities consists of those services aimed at individuals who, because of a condition which results in some degree of impairment of intellectual, physical, or emotional functioning or adaptive behavior, are significantly hindered in their ability to learn or to otherwise adapt to the demands of society. Services range from attempts at prevention and early diagnosis to a comprehensive support system of services designed to develop maximum indepen- dence and to assist in providing for the daily needs which the individual is unable to meet without such assistance.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION DEFINITIONS USED IN THIS REPORT -i Developmental Disability J The Federal Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 1975 (Public Law 94-103) defines developmental disability as a dis- ability which is attributable to mental retardation, cerebral palsy, autism, i u dyslexia in connection with one of the above conditions, or any other con- dition closely related to mental retardation in terms of intellectual and and adaptive problems. It is a disability which originates before the FIICRCFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140DIE5 -2 - individual had attained age IS and has continued or can be expected to continue indefinitely,constituting a substantial handicap to such person's ability to function normally in society. Mental Retardation Because many developmental disabilities are closely related to mental retardation in regard to the intellectual and adaptive problems which they cause, the definition of mental retardation is presented here. Mental re- tardation is defined as "significantly subaverage general intellectual func- tioning existing concurrently with deficits in adaptive behavior and mani- fested during the developmental period."1 Acquired Disability An acquired disability is a disability which is attributable to a con- dition such as: arthritis, stroke, spinal injury, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, polio, paraplegia, muscular dystrophy, quadriplegia, amputation, emphysema, vision loss or impediment. An acquired disability is experien- tially, rather than congentially, derived. For more detailed definitions of specific disabilities, see Appendix 1. STATISTICS ON DISABILITIES Developmental Disability According to the Iowa State Developmentally Disabled Council, slightly more than 59 of the population of Iowa is considered to be developmentally disabled. About 3% of the total population is mentally retarded, and 29 is epileptic. Using these statistics, the number of developmentally disabled in Johnson County is roughly 3,750, the number of mentally retarded - 2,250, and the number of epileptic - 1,500. This information is presented in Table 1, as is more specific information on degrees of retardation and other devel- opmental disabilities. lIowa Department of Social Services (District 10), Seven Year Plan for the �1 Delivery of Services to the Mentally Retarded and Developmentally Disabled 6-) Citizens of District 10: September, 1976, p.2.

The information provided in Table 2 assumes that the percentages of disabled individuals are constant across all age groups. Certainly, there are mitigating factors which work to make the actual percentages vary with age. However, the figures in Table 2 can be considered to be a fairly accurate reflection of the age distribution of the developmentally disabled population in Johnson County. Since particular services for the disabled are often provided for specific age groups only (e.g., children, elderly), it is important to know the approximate number of people in each age group. The younger age groups are presented in more detail than the others, because they constitute the developmental period during which these disabilities are manifested and should be first treated. i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 1101NES i -4- 1 1 TABLE 2 Estimated Developmentally Disabled Population in Johnson county* AGE TOTAL POP.

M i i I MICROFILMED BY DORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOVIES -5- It should be remembered that the above figures refer to individuals with varying degrees of developmental disability. Such disability, while comprising a handicapping condition, does not necessarily constitute a sub- stantial handicap to the individual's ability to function in society. Infor- mation on substantially handicapping conditions is presented below. Substantially Handicapped The State Developmentally Disabled Council has stated that approximately 30 to 35 percent of the developmentally disabled population in Iowa is substan- tially handicapped. This would consist of approximately 1,125 to 1,313 indi- viduals in Johnson County. The substantially handicapped population includes all those who are severely and profoundly mentally retarded or multiply handi- capped. (See Appendix 1 for definitions.) The percentages of the general population with substantially handicapping conditions, as applied to Johnson County, are shown in Table 3.

Musculoskeletal disorders are slightly more com- mon among females, while arthritis and rheumatism are nearly twice as common among females than males. The incidence of heart conditions, arthritis and rheumatism, and visual impairment increases after age 45, while that of the other disorders decreases MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES t40VIES -7- Limitation in Activity The Department of Health, Education and Welfare has compiled statistics on the degree of limitation of activity among all persons in the United States. Three degrees of limitation for four age groups are presented in Table 5. Percentages of the total population are applied to Johnson County. It can be seen from Table 5 that the great majority of those with some or total limitation in major activity are over age 44, with the majority being over age 64. Qualifiers to Above Statistics The statistics presented above provide only an approximation of the number of disabled individuals in Johnson County. The number of people in Johnson County with various disabilities and varying degrees of handicap or limitation in activity has been determined through the use of state and na- tional estimated percentages.

There is no set of local statistics readily MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•OLS MOINES -B- :Y available which would give a more accurate and reliable picture of the dis- abled population in Johnson County. t The figures presented can be considered conservative estimates. Due to the presence in Johnson County of many statewide and areawide facilities and services for the disabled, the number of persons requiring supportive ser- vices is certainly greater than the state or national average. The presence Of the University of Iowa, both as a provider of services and as a center of learning, is a contributing factor. Agencies such as Goodwill and Systems i; v Unlimited serve areas larger than Johnson County, Thus, there is an increased z need for attendant, supportive measures for the disabled, as well as a greater u number of services than the average. i t' Major Deterrents to Activity A study which was conducted in 1976 by the Easter Seal Society of Iowa provided information on major deterrents to activity, particularly employment, among disabled persons in the state. The study was based on responses of 650 disabled persons throughout Iowa. The most relevant concerns are presented below. •" A 1. Location, marital status, age, sex, length of training, educational level ambulation, type of disability, age at onset of disability and trans- portation showed little relationship to the '.' employment status of the severely disabled. 2. Employability seems to be determined by the type of � Personal help a severely disabled person requires. Eating, toileting, operation of wheel- chairs, and transfer in/out of wheelchairs 4 certainly present problems for such a disabled individual seeking employment outside the home. The per- centage of disabled unemployed people who need assistance in these four areas is greater than that p of those disabled persons who are employed. - 3. Employment seems to be related to the number of years a 1 person has been disabled. A greater number of those who had been disabled five years or less were unemployed. 4. The length or amount of vocational training can influence employ- ability. Severely disabled persons who had received from u one week to six months of training were most likely to be u employed. Increased length of training did i not produce significantly greater employability. y i i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110114ES '^1 r r9i i 1 i ME 5. Over 80 percent of the unemployed indicated that their general physical condition was a major deterrent to becoming employed. Almost three- fourths said that it was the most improtant reason that they were unemployed. The second most commonly referenced deterrent was a "lack of salable skills". This problem is no doubt exacerbated by the major problem of poor health and physical condition in that the individual is unable to attain skills through traditional training techniques or is unable to employ the skills he once possessed. The third most frequently stated problem was "transportation".* Approximately 30 percent of the unemployed mentioned transportation among the four most important deterrents to their engaging in work. 6. Over 70 percent of those self -defined as underemployed indicated that their general physical condition was a major deterrent to becoming better employed. The second most commonly referenced problem was a "lack of salable skills". The third most frequently stated problem was "transpor- tation".* 7• Nearly 70 percent of the severely disabled interviewed indicated that becoming more employable was at least of moderate importance. There was very little difference in opinion on the subject of becoming more employable between those who were employed and those who were unemployed. *There is an apparent discrepancy between the percentage of unemployed (29.88) and underemployed (33.68) who indicated that transportation is an important deterrent to their engaging in work or in getting a better job, and the per- centage who stated that no transportation was available to them (2.48 overall). This may result from the fact that a large number of those surveyed (64.28) must rely on other people for transportation. This situation may be perceived as a hindrance to better employment by some of the respondents. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIDIREs -10- SERVICES PROVIDED/POPULATION SERVED A wide range of services is provided to residents of Johnson County with disabling conditions. For the purposes of this profile, eight general categories have been used: Service Delivery System, Agencies Serving Specific Disabilities, Diagnostic and Evaluative Services, Educational Services, Recrea- tional Services, Vocational Services, Residential Services and Related Services. The descriptions below contain information on the particular services which each agency provides and on the clientele which it serves. A summary of information on the agencies can be found in Appendix 3. Table 6, at the end of this section (pp. 30-1) summarizes information on characteristics of the population served, based on information provided by agencies. SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM The service delivery system for the disabled in Johnson County includes agencies which provide a variety of supportive services to handicapped residents Agencies included as part of the service delivery system are: •Iowa Department of Social Services, Johnson County - Developmental Disabilities Unit - Adult Service Unit *Johnson County Association for Retarded Citizens - Family Support Program - ,Friends" Program *Johnson County Special Elderly and Handicapped Area Transportation Service (SEATS) *Social Security Administration •Systems Unlimited - Family and Child Training Program (FACT) *University of Iowa•Affiliated Facilities Program •Visiting Nurse Association of Johnson County Services are provided specifically to the University of Iowa community through: •University of Iowa Office of Services to the Handicapped The agencies mentioned below are also part of the service delivery system but will be described in later sections of this profile: •Iowa State Services for Crippled Children (see Diagnostic and Eval- uative Services, p. 18) *University of Iowa Hospital School (see Educational services, p. 22) MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140RIES -u- •University of Iowa Child Development Clinic (see Diagnostic and Evaluative Services, p. 19) •University of Iowa Speech and Hearing Clinic (see Diagnostic and Evaluative Services, p.19) The Iowa Department Of Social Services, Johnson County (DSS) provides both direct and indirect services to certain handicapped individuals (those with cerebral palsy, mental retardation, epilepsy, autism) through its Developmental Disabilities Unit. Direct services include counseling for the disabled and their families as well as placesent and monitoring of disabled clients in foster or group home care when necessary. The unit served approx- imately 150 to 200 Johnson County residents during fiscal 1978. The Develop- mental Disabilities Unit also serves as the access point to Johnson County residents for Glenwood State Hospital School (see Residential Services, P. 26), The DSS Adult Service Unit also provides direct and indirect services to individuals with disabilities, although most Of its clients are mentally ill or elderly. Services provided directly include homemaker services (such as light housekeeping, child care, meal preparation, and budgeting aid), chore services, in-home health related services, and counseling. The unit also provides protective services to dependent handicapped adults and referral to appropriate agencies when necessary. The Adult Service Unit is presently providing homemaker services to two developmentally disabled individuals. Indirect services provided by the Adult Service Unit include purchase - of -service contracts with Goodwill Industries, Systems Unlimited, and others through Title XX and placement of adults at the Johnson County Care Facility, nursing homes, group homes, foster homes, and treatment centers. The DSS is currently working to increase the number of purchase -of -service contracts with agencies for evaluation and counseling services. Community placement services are also conducted for those returning to the community from insti- tutions. The Department of Social Services also administers the medical aspects of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program for the blind and disabled, after determination of eligibility by the Social Security Administration Office; assistance for nursing home care is given to those not eligible for SSI or 'Title XIX through the State Nursing Home Program, administered by DSS. State Hospital Papers for medical treatment and care are also provided through this office. rA MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 110111E5 1 -12- _ The Johnson County Association for Retarded Citizens, through its Family Support program, provides respite care and emergency care during family crisis for mentally and/or physically handicapped individuals, enabling parents or guardians to be relieved of care for short periods while still maintaining the •- child or charge in their own homes. Care is provided in the natural home, foster home, or Systems unlimited homes. Approximately 15 families were .� served by the program during 1977. A recent program, "Friends", has begun through the ARC, which links information concerning volunteers with interested developmentally disabled persons to increase the availability of leisure -time activities. Johnson County Special Elderly and Handicapped Transportation Service �+ (SEATS) provides an economical means for elderly (over 60 years of age) and ,i handicapped persons to take care of their travel needs so that they may partici- pate more fully and independently in the life of their community and the surrounding area. In addition to providing transportation to the elderly and "y handicapped on an individual basis, SEATS transports clients to and from such places as Congregate Meals sites, Goodwill Industries, and provides regular service to low-income housing projects for the elderly and handicapped. r+ A total of 12,551 one-way trips were provided during 1977; 25,815 have been provided from January through November of,1978. About 700 to 800 in= dividuals are presently using the service. An estimated 959 of clients are over age 60, and about 758 are female. Over one-half of all rides during � 1978 were provided within the Iowa City metropolitan area (48.08), while about one-fifth were provided in other areas of the county (17.09). The bal- ance of transportation was provided to Congregate Meals sites (20.79), places of employment (11.09), and for special event trips (3.39). :i The Social Security Administration serves Johnson and Washington Counties through its Iowa City office. Financial assistance for the disabled is provided through two programs administered by this office: Disability Bene- +I fits based on an individual's Social Security tax contributions and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) including Aid to the Disabled and Aid to the Blind. In A addition, Medicaid coverage (Title XIX) is available for those who qualify. To be eligible for disability benefits, an individual must be under age 65 and have a physical or mental impairment which prevents him or her from doing any substantial work and which is expected to last at least 12 months or to result in death. Certain members of the worker's family are also eligible for monthly checks. 4 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB r.EOAR RAPIDS -D s nolrus -13- To be eligible for Aid to the Blind, one must have vision no better than 20/200 with glasses or have tunnel vision and be in financial or personal need. Medicaid (Title XIX, Social Security Act) benefits are provided to individuals who are in need of medical and health services and are receiving payments under the Supplemental Security Income program for the blind, disabled, and aged. Further details of all programs can be obtained through the Iowa City office. A total of 821 clients from Johnson and Washington counties during fis- cal 1978 were served. Over 500 of these were from Johnson County. No data on client characteristics is maintained. Systems Unlimited provides a support base for parents and guardians through its Family and Child Training program (FACT), which enables them to maintain the developmentally disabled child or charge in their homes. Support services include counseling and parent training, social and developmental stimulation, training in the activities of daily living, recreation therapy, transportation to community resources, relief care (by referral), and follow- up. Referrals to the program are received through the Iowa Department of Social Services, Johnson County. At the current time, families must meet Title XX guidelines to be eligible for the program. Fourteen families are currently being served by the program. Most of the disabled clients are under age 12 (85.7%). Half of those served reside in Iowa City, and half live outside metropolitan Johnson County. Nearly three- fourths of all clients are male (71.44). The University of Iowa Affiliated Facilities Program has as its main purpose the training of professionals and paraprofessionals to work with the developmentally disabled through the use of exemplary service models. Training is approached from an interdisciplinary standpoint, relying on faculty par- ticipation from a variety of special educational, medical, business, and liberal arts programs at the University of Iowa. Much of the training of students is conducted at the University Hospital School. In addition to its research, technical assistance, and training programs, the Affiliated Facil- ities Program provides outreach services to clients throughout the state. Services for which training is provided include diagnosis and evaluation, medical, therapeutic, and special educational services. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 1 _14 - The University of Iowa Office of Services to the Handicapped has provided for a multiplicity of services to handicapped students since its opening in early 1977. services include provision of accessibility maps of the campus, key issuance to orthopedically handicapped persons for access to elevators and chairlifts, the Bionic Bus (a transportation sys- tem for the permanently and temporarily handicapped), and arranging for aide and attendant care for personal hygiene needs. Involvement by the office in aide/attendant care is only an initial one, the office acts as a liaison between aides and handicapped students after which specific arrangements are worked out between the aide and the student. A sports and recreation program is also offered. There are about 300 identified disabled students on campus, not all of whom directly use the services of the Office of Services for the Handicapped. The Bionic Bus had 20 regular users and 15 temorary users during the 1977-78 school year. A 204 increase in usage is expected during 1978-79. No further information is available on clientele, due to the number of small services and to a high degree of short-term direct involvement with clients. The visiting Nurse Association of Johnson County (VNA) serves disabled persons through its Disease and Disabilities and In -Home Health Promotion and Counseling programs. The Disease and Disabilities program provides medical management of a diagnosed disease or problem or disability in collaboration with a physician, and may include nursing care, occupational, physical and speech therapy, aide services, and/or equipment loan. Services focus on monitoring the status of the disease or disability and teaching the client or family about the con- dition and its care, while promoting client independence. The program pro- vided 7,813 units of service (a unit is equal to one visit) to 365 clients during 1977. The VNA's In -Home Health Promotion and Counseling program assists clients in obtaining and maintaining a state of optimal health independently. Clients are encouraged to use the appropriate community resources for this purpose. The program provided 4,438 units of service to 685 clients during 1977. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES -15- Over one-half of all visits during 1977 for both programs were pro- vided to clients 65 years of age and older (46.7$), while about one-third were to clients between ages 20 and 64 (29.99). Over 756 of the visits were to clients residing in metropolitan Iowa City. ORGANIZATIONS SERVING SPECIFIC DISABILITIES Several organizations located within and outside of Johnson County pro- vide services to individuals in the county with specific handicapping con- ditions. Most of these also provide educational information on disabilities to the general public.

The ACLD is currently involved in setting up community r.l is resource teams to assist with the needs of children with learning disabilities in Johnson County. 41 3 The Johnson Count Association for Retarded Citizens (ARC) sl " has as its Purpose to initiate Promote and monitor - dI services for the retarded citizens of Johnson County and to inform and educate the public about the needs of retarded "'; persons. The association has sponsored the development and monitored the con- tinuing services of the Nelson Adult Center's Program and the Summer Program for severely retarded i children (see Educational Services P•21). The - associ- ation also sponsors a Famil Y Su 9 support Pro ram which provides respite care to parents or guardians of mentally and/or physically disabled individuals (see Service Delivery System, p. 12). Approximately 100 retarded individuals were served directly by the ARC during 1977. The Multi le Sclerosis Society, Johnson County works to stimulate, coordinate, and support new research and to obtain and disseminate existing information about the causes, prevention, alleviation, and qsclerosis cure of multiple and other diseases of the '- nervous system. Counseling, equipment loan ^-• or purchase, and special events are provided. Patient "rap t sessions" are held, and Physical therapy is a PY provided to clients through an agreement with the Visiting Nurse ~ Association. An aquatics 4 program is currently being planned in conjunction with the Special Populations �.' Involvement (SPI) program of the Iowa City Recreation Center. Approximately 30 Johnson County Clients were served during 1977. Most were female, between 40 and 50 years of age, and resided in Coralville.

Special tools, devices, and aids for the ^I blind (such as Braille books and tape recorders) are availble from the com- mission. Public education is conducted, and information about blindness is disseminated to the general public. Approximately 450 Johnson County residents were served by the commission during 1977. i The Library for the Blind, a department of the Commission, lends talking books, taped books, Braille books and magazines, and playback equipment to eligible persons throughout the State of Iowa. Blind, vis- ually impaired, those with an organic dysfunction resulting in severe reading disability, and those with physical limitations resulting in inability to use standard printed material may be found eligible upon application. Application forms may be obtained through the Iowa City Public Library. The March of Dimes Hawkeye Chapter, provides prenatal and other edu- cational and professional services. Donations are used for research both nationally and locally, at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Funds are also used to provide direct aid to birth defect and polio victims. About three to five Johnson County residents are served directly each year. The Muscular Dystrophy Association places its primary emphasis on research and on direct medical services. Direct services include outpatient clinics, diagnosis, physical therapy, and some recreational activities. Orthopedic appliances are available from the association, and transportation of clients is provided in conjunction with specific services of the organiza- tion. About 30 Johnson County clients were served during 1977, ranging in age from 6 to 50 years. United Cerebral Palsy serves a nine -county area, including Johnson County. However, most of the services provided by United Cerebral Palsy are restricted to Linn County because it is not feasible at this time to fully serve the entire nine -county area. Although there are presently no Johnson County clients being served, the office does refer Linn County clients to services in Johnson County and sometimes receives calls from Johnson County residents, which are then referred to the appropriate local agency.

Fifteen agencies returned the questionnaire, four provided some information but were unable to complete the questionnaire, and two were unable to provide any information. The unmet needs revealed through these responses are presented below. 1) Coordination of Services A total of 12 of the 15 responding agencies felt, seven of them strongly, that there is a need for better coordination of services for the disabled in Johnson County. 2) Legal Advice and Information on Legal Rights Five of the responding agencies felt that the disabled do not have adequate access to legal advice and information on their legal rights. Four of the respondents had no opinion, and six felt legal services to be adequate. There was a general consensus that the income guidelines of Legal Aid allow only a portion of the dis- abled to receive needed advice and other legal services. 3) Employment Opportunities Five of the respondents felt, one of them strongly, that employment opportunities for the competitively employable disabled in Johnson County are insufficient. Six had no opinion, and four felt oppor- tunities to be sufficient. 4) Special Living Arrangements The most strongly expressed need in this area was for foster home care for both adults and children with disabilities; six of seven respondents indicated that they feel the demand for such foster care exceeds the supply. Four of eight respondents felt that the demand for semi -supervised apartment living also exceeds the supply. A specific need was expressed by one respondent for short-term living arrangements within Johnson County for individuals from surrounding counties who come here to utilize services. i IIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES t .. -34- 5) In -Home Health Services 'W Eight of the fifteen respondents felt, two them strongly, that there is a need to make in-home services more readily available to dis- w abled individuals. Seven had no opinion. The limitations imposed rj by financial guidelines where such are pre were mentioned as the greatest barrier to obtaining in-home services 9.1 by 4 of the respondents. Statistics on referrals indicate a low use of existing services and an inadequate knowledge of existing guidelines and available services on the part of the community. o� 6) Public Enlightenment .� Seven of the fifteen responding agencies felt, two of them strongly k'1 that the disabled suffer from discrimination in Johnson County. d Two had no opinion, and six felt that there is little or no such discrimination in the county. X1 8) Programming for Parents _ R1 Eight of fourteen respondents felt, three of them strongly, that tl. Johnson County needs additional programming to help parents over- come or lessen the effect of their child's disability. Five had no opinion, and one felt that there is no need for additional pro- gramming in this area. Lack of awareness of available services, p financial guidelines and scarcity of resources were cited as the most prevalent barriers. rj x+ 9) Additional concerns 1.1 The following additional concerns were expressed: a need for more simplification and centralized control of the service system; more v comprehensive day programming for the severely disabled adult; in- creased fiscal stability in order to better meet programming needs 11 Of clients for a longer time; a need for additional services geared toward increasing the level of independence of disabled persons after appropriate training (e.g., more extensive homemaker services other services to support the individual in his/her own home), as well as the need for services designed for the not -so -severely ~ disabled. - Needs Identified Through Meeting with Providers ^' A meeting was held on February 23, 1976 with providers of services to the disabled to discuss the results of the questionnaire returns and to m ascertain which of the identified needs they felt to be most critical in .t Johnson County. Relevant additions to the questionnaire responses are ^• presented below. i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MoIMEs i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES i I -35- 1) Information on Services I There was general agreement that most of the "gaps" in services to the disabled involve the lack of use of existing facilities and programs, rather than a lack of facilities. There is little dup- lication of services in Johnson County. A better system of pro- viding information on changing programs and processes to the pub- lic is needed in order to help avoid "gaps" due to lack of current I information. 2) Accessibility of Housing and Transportation There was a general consensus that, in the area of housing, there is a need for"accessibility" to be defined as extending to the entire living area, not merely to accessibility from outside. i In the area of transportation, it was felt that buses should be modified to be accessible to those with casts, crutches, etc. Transportation to existing resources is not always available. 3) Legal Assistance There was a consensus that it is up to providers to inform clients J� of what legal advice is needed and of opportunities that are avail- able to them. There is an unfortunate lack of opportunities, how- ever, in that there is no one at Hawkeye Legal Aid, nor is there any lawyer in the area, who specializes in legal services to the handicapped. 4) Physical and Occupational Therapy a There is a need for short-term services of this kind, in order + yy that the necessity for long-term treatment may be prevented in many cases. Also, existing services are underutilized due to difficulties ,.� in publicizing within federal regulations, under -referral and a y general lack of active demand for these services. Ij 5) Employer Education, Job Counseling, Vocational Rehabilitation There is a need to educate employers appropriately to the needs of j - disabled employees. Unfortunately, counselors don't have the time to undertake this properly. It was also felt that counselors may not involve employees in making decisions on job descriptions and special job needs. A third concern in this area was that there is a need for increased vocational rehabilitation services to assist the disabled with employment concerns. 6) Sheltered Employment, Day Care There was general agreement that the greatest need in the area of - sheltered employment is for a long-term,full-time program. For i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES V 1) Service Organizations } The subcommittee felt that the services provided to disabled in- dividuals, particularly children, by local service clubs and organizations may be underutilized due to lack of awareness of the availability of such assistance. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES -36- Goodwill Industries to offer such a program, more funding from the Department of Social Services would be needed. j The needs for a long-term activity center and for long-term day care were also cited. 7) Respite Care ri The need for a facility to provide short-term respite care for all ages was emphasized. It was mentioned that this type of short- term, transient -serving program is very difficult to develop. Sys- tems Unlimited has a program for crisis respite care, but it is inadequate to meet the real need. 8) Transition to Independent Living k� The greatest need in this area was felt to be that for a compre- hensive discharge planning process which would emphasize the devel- opment of independent living skills. R,4: j� 9) Public Education �f7 In regard to discrimination, it was felt that there is an increas- x ing need to develop the process of education against discrimination in the schools. This should begin in the lower grades and is felt i.,j, to be of increased importance as the disabled population is incorp- orated into the schools. 10) In -Home Support Services It was felt that more homemakers and home health aides are needed to provide this service adequately. The particular need is for a greater number of part-time people to assist clients during peak - demand times of the day. Coordination between agencies providing in-home services is also needed if demands are to be met on an _ t ongoing basis. Due to the strictness of federal guidelines, fund- ing sources other than Titles XVIII and XIX would be needed to t allow an increase in services. - Needs Identified Through Other Sources •^ The needs below were identified through subcommittee meetings, conversations with providers and consumers, and staff attendance at outside P meetings involving services to the disabled. Previous studies were also 'Y employed in assessing need but turned up no additional concerns to those 1 previously mentioned. rl 1) Service Organizations } The subcommittee felt that the services provided to disabled in- dividuals, particularly children, by local service clubs and organizations may be underutilized due to lack of awareness of the availability of such assistance. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 1 I J -37- 2) Companionship In addition to a need for money management assistance and legal assistance, the Association for Retarded Citizens feels that there is a need for companionship and accompaniment at activities for the disabled in Johnson County. 3) Volunteers Representatives of several agencies have expressed a need for ad- ditional volunteers to help deliver their services to prospective clients. 4) Non -Sheltered Employment A need was defined by Goodwill Industries for expansion of job opportunities in the community for the disabled. 5) Information and Referral The development of a central information and referral service, which is felt to be necessary for efficiency of service delivery in a variety of areas, would be great assistance in improving coordination of the system of services to the disabled and in recordkeeping and client monitoring. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Priority Problem GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS Possible Agencies Funding Recommendation Affected Sources The following problems and recommendations relate to all of the service areas studied during the first and second years of the Human Services Planning Project. Because they relate to all areas, they will not be tailored to each individual area. However, their importance to each of the service areas should not be diminished due to this manner of presentation. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - COMMUNICATION, COORDINATION, INFORMATION Inadequate communication and coor- dination among agencies providing service results in inconsistencies, particularly in the way clients with multiple problems are handled. Delays in the provision of service and misunderstandings or disagree- ments regarding service provision may occur when two or more agencies are involved with the same client. Regular meetings among agencies have been attempted but have been less than successful. Organizing and convening such meetings re- quires staff time and effort not available from any one agency. Inadequate knowledge on the part of service providers concerning the functions and programs of agencies can result in inapprop- riate referrals or lack of referral to a needed resource. In addition to clients getting lost in the system and not finding the Agency directors and staff pro- viding similar programs or ser- vices to similar client groups should meet together on a regu- lar basis to: 1) Share information about programs. 2) Explore solutions to common problems. 3) Acquaint them with the staff of other agencies to facili- tate the referral process and increase trust levels. 4) Share information on clients within the confines of confi- dentiality. Human Service planning staff may be assigned the responsibility for calling and organizing such programs in order for them to succeed. r MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MoIMES All public Johnson and private County Re - providers gional Plan - serving John- ning Commis - son County sion; State clients. and federal sources of funding should be explored. Q h GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS (Continued) Priority Problem appropriate services, service pro- vision is often carried out without consulting other agencies which pro- vide similar or complementary ser- vices. The result is that services are delivered with less than optimal efficiency and effectiveness. DATA ON CLIENT CHARACTERISTICS Information on client character- istics (e.g., age, race, sex, in- come, residence and problems pre- sented) is not available at the present time through many agencies As a consequence, it is difficult to assess portions of the popu- lation which may be inadequately served and for which programs should be developed. Agencies Recommendation Affected These agency sessions might be used to address many of the spe- cific recommendations found in each of the profiles. Assessment of data requirements All public is needed by 1) agencies to and private assess existing programs and not -for -pro - 2) funding bodies to make allo- fit agencies cation decisions based on commun- providing ity need.

Funding agencies should make inquiries into systems of evaluation used for services. Accountability should be emphasized. The Human Services planning staff should be available to coordinate the de- velopment of this effort. i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIIIES Possible Funding Sources Johnson County Re- gional Plan- ning Commis- sion, City, County, United Way; State and federal fund- ing sources should also be explored. Priority Problem GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS (Continued) Recommendation Possible Agencies Funding Affected Sources FUNDING General revenue sharing funds should be considered as a possible funding source for many of the recommendations. Wherever possible, recommendations should be met by agencies already in existence. This may involve coordination of existing services, addition of a new program or program component to an existing agency, or shifting the focus of a current program to meet an identified need. It is recommended that a new agency be established in response to an unmet need only when the efforts of existing agencies have failed or when it has been satisfactorily determined that it is not feasible for an identified need to be met through such efforts alone. This approach will help ensure that additional costs are minimized and fragmentation of services avoided. HUMAN SERVICES SUPPORT NETWORK A continuing program to provide support and assistance to local human service agencies has been proposed by the Program Development Subcommittee of this project (December, 1978). This,program would assist in the areas of coordination of agency services and data collection (see preceding Recommendations in this section). It would also provide for joint program and budget review by local funders of human service programs. (See Proposed Program for Implementation of a Human Services Support Network for further detail.) It is recommended that local funding bodies share the cost of providing this support network and that they require participation in this process by human service agencies applying for funding locally.

A better system of dis- seminating such information to these individuals is needed. RECOMMENDATIONS b.Public Education Disabled individuals suffer from discrimination due to a lack of understanding of the nature and effects of their specific disabl- ing condition on the part of others. This situation causes discomfort to both parties involved and may result in unfair or unequal treatment of the disabled person. Recommendation Several possibilities for dis- seminating information on ser- vices are suggested: 1) An informational brochure, such as that recently developed on youth services, might be pre- pared for services to the dis- abled and distributed through the schools and relevant agencies 2) The Press Citizen might be encouraged to run a series of articles focusing on services available to disabled persons. 3) Relevant agencies might be encouraged to use public service announcements on radio and tele- vision to make the public aware of their services.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES Ido INES i RECOMMENDATIONS Priority Problem a.Discharge Planning There is currently no comprehensive discharge planning process for han- dicapped individuals moving from a situation of more sheltered living to one of greater independence. There is a need for a process to foster the development of indepen- dent living skills and to aid in the transitional period. b.Physical and Occupational Thera Existing services for physical and occupational therapy are under utilized due to unawareness that these services exist, resulting in part from limitabions in advertis- ing within federal regulations. This situation can result in indi- viduals not receiving the short- term therapies which may be crucial in preventing the neces- sity of long-term treatment. Vi Recommendation A mechanism should be established which would assure that those in- dividuals moving to semi-indepen- dent or independent living situa- tions are put in touch with sup - Prot services in the community. This process should also involve regular monitoring to assure that the individual's changing needs are met. Service providers should meet to determine which agency or agencies would be best able to take on responsibility for coordinating this service. Education of providers is needed, to make them aware of existing programs for physical and occu- pational therapy and of the po- tential benefits of such thera- pies to their clients. The interagency meetings recommended under Coordination are suggested as a means to provide this edu- cation.

This service enables parents or guardians to take a vacation from or to be assured of care for their child or charge in the event of an emergency. c.Day Care Present problems for day care for the disabled in Johnson County are not sufficient to meet the need for such care for all ages on a long- term basis. This*can cause comp- lications to the parent or guardian in arranging for care during day- time hours if he or she must be at work or meet other obligations. RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendation Existing programs for respite care in Johnson County should be expanded to meet the needs of all disabled persons and their fami- lies. Agencies currently involved in the provision of such care should meet to determine the best means for expanding these services. More options for day care should be made available to families of disabled persons. It should be determined whether existing pro- grams can be or need to be ex- panded. Some less severely disabled child- ren may be appropriately "main- streamed" to childcare facilities. Childcare providers should meet with agencies serving the dis- abled to determine the feasibility of such an approach.

It has been the City's policy (Fiscal Policy) since 1973 to levy only up to 80% of the total Legal Debt Margin; thus leaving a borrowing reserve of 20% to be available for emergencies. In the proposed CIP, all bonds sold for the local share of the Wastewater Treatment Plant would be G.O. Bonds. As shown by the graph, if all proposed bond issues are sold as scheduled, we would start using the borrowing reserve as early as FY82. It has not been determined yet whether G.O. Bonds or Revenue Bonds will be sold for this project. The second graph (Exhibit B) shows bond issues sold thru FY79 and proposed thru FY84. This shows a dramatic increase in bonding activity in FY78 which is expected to continue for several years. Much of this is attributable to the redevelopment of the CBD (City Plaza, Phase I and II, and the new Library Building) and construc- tion of the River Corridor Trunk Sewer and the Wastewater Treatment Plant. If other funding sources are found the amount of bonds issued could be reduced. The last graph (Exhibit C) shows the Debt Service Levy. FY77 thru FY79 are actual, FY80 is the proposed budget amount and FY81 thru FY84 has been computed based upon several assumptions and the pro- posed CIP. One assumption was that total assessed valuation would increase by an annual growth factor of 5%. If growth occurs at a higher rate, and it well could with the downtown redevelopment, the levy would be reduced accordingly. In each fiscal year, the Debt Service Levy is less than 25% of total levy, thus the proposed bond issues do comply with the Fiscal Policy's "Ceiling on Debt Service. In total tax dollars, the FY83 projected amount ($1,824,110) is an increase of 248% over the FY77 amount ($735,874). However, as the total assessed valuation increases the Debt Service dollar amount can also increase with minimal effect upon the levy. The levy does increase only when the tax dollars increase at a faster rate than the total assessed valuation and as the graph shows, this is the case here. Two items which require special attention by the Council are 1) issues requiring voter approval, and 2) bonds sold for projects which are more operating costs than capital improvements. For the past several years, the Animal Shelter has been budgeted in the first year of the CIP. This project and other "voter approval" MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPInS•DES td0111Es i -2- projects should be evaluated as to when and if construction will occur and then placed in the proper fiscal year (i.e., if there is no intention to have a bond referendum then the project should not be budgeted). The CIP should include only capital improvement projects. But, in the past few years due to a shortage of property tax revenues and Road Use Tax revenues, a few operating/maintenance costs have become part of the CIP because of financing from the G.O. Bond proceeds. These have included bridge repair and asphalt resurfacing. I realize that Council is aware of this problem but feel it merits some discussion. I would like to see this practice reduced in the future if at all financially possible.

INTRODUCTION In the FY80-84 CIP, the City Council is being asked to determine what projects can be realistically accomplished in the next several years on the basis of anticipated revenues, City priorities and the �. Council's willingness to issue essential corporate purpose bonds or seek voter approval of general corporate purpose bond issues. The City Council should first determine which projects it would q like to see funded in FY80. Secondly, all projects not funded in FY80 will be automatically shifted to the next fiscal year unless the Council designates a specific year for the project or desires to eliminate the project from the five year plan. ii The final CIP document should therefore reflect a five year plan for providing capital improvements commensurate with the fiscal 1 policy and the needs of Iowa City. In fiscal year 1980, authorizations of $264,500 in general corporate purpose bonds and $4,771,132 in essential corporate purpose bonds are proposed. II- CIP SCHEDULING CONSIDERATIONS i Capital improvement programming is the planning, coordination, and scheduling of public fiscal improvements for a community over a period of years. The scheduling is developed according to priorities based on need, desire and importance of such improvements to the community within the constraints of the City's ability to finance SI as well as having the staffing to design and administer the projects. ( Essentially, the CIP is a legislative and management tool to facili- tate the scheduling, planning and execution of a series of public improvements over a five year period. Usually the development of a CIP begins with the proceeds from a current or recently updated comprehensive plan. On May 30, 1978 the City Council adopted the Comprehensive Plan for Iowa City. This plan presents an analysis of needs and desires of the community over an intermediate to long- range time span, and translates these needs and desires into prescribed ` action programs and services that can be performed by City government. The fiscal year 1980-84 capital improvement projects are in keeping — with the direction and programs of this Comprehensive Plan. III. FISCAL POLICY CONSIDERATIONS _ A concept of sound financial planning is of equal importance to fiscal planning, and is critical for the success of any program As the Capital Improvement — whether it be public or private. a result, Program is a determination of 1) the levels of capital projects, and 2) the sources of financing those projects. In determining the 1 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101uES IV scheduling of programs for completion within the next five years, it was necessary to deal with the City's financial resource limita- tions; both those that have been established by State law, and those that have been adopted as policy by the City Council as a guide to future City expenditure and indebtedness. It is the latter limitation to which the City Council addressed itself in 1973 by the formal adoption of a fiscal policy that is aimed at controlling and regulating the property tax levy for debt service on general obligation bonds used to finance capital expenditures. The 1979 revised fiscal policy provides a more comprehensive method of financing the many capital projects which the City needs. Adherence to this fiscal policy can be expected to provide the following advantages: 1. Investors interested in City of Iowa City bonds can refer to a fiscal policy and rely on it in making decisions on whether to buy obligations of the City and in determining the interest rate that they will bid. A formally approved fiscal policy has a strong bearing on the City's ability to maintain and improve on its credit rating. 2. The property tax levy for debt service on which there is no State imposed maximum limit can be projected and regulated to either remain relatively constant or to increase at an even controlled rate. 3. Planning for public improvements normally takes place over a period of years. Nearly always, funds are spent for engineering and right-of-way prior to the years in which actual construction takes place. The fiscal policy can establish amounts of money which will be spent for several years in the future for best public improvement facilities planning and make it possible to concentrate time and funds on those priority projects which can be financed and constructed within the City's financial limitations. 4. A very significant advantage of a formal fiscal policy is to demonstrate the need for additional revenue sources in future years by matching expenditures and indebtedness permitted by such a fiscal policy against a much greater need for additional public improvements. APPLICATION OF FUNDS �i The funding of the projects included in the FY80-84 CIP can be categorized ~ into the four major categories of: 1. operating revenue ` E MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MDIUCS 2. bond issues (general obligation, revenue and special assessment) 3. State and Federal grants for assistance 4. special revenue (revenue whose use is restricted to specific types of projects). The City strives to secure and utilize funds other than operating revenue and general obligation bonds to the maximum extent practical, and utilize general obligation debts within the parameters of the fiscal policy. As the "Summary By Source Of Funds" chart on page 39 illustrates, operating revenue and general obligation debts account for 44.6 percent of the funding for the five year FY80-84 CIP. Of the remaining sources, State and Federal grants account for 53.1 percentof the five year total, revenue bands account for 2.2 percent, and miscellaneous revenue accounts for the remaining .1 percent of the projected five year total of $53,433,560. 3 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140114[5 FISCAL POLICY ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENDITURES — 1. BALANCED BUDGET: The budget of the City of Iowa City shall be drawn so that es- timated revenues and anticipated expenditures are equal. (State law requirement) 2. TAX CEILING: The budget of the City of Iowa City shall be drawn so that tax revenue in the general operating fund does not require a tax levy more than the $8.10 limit. (State law requirement) CAPITAL EXPENDITURES 1. DEFINITION: A. Capital Improvements - Capital items of a relatively permanent nature, such as buildings, and other attachments or improvements to land which are intended to remain so attached such as storm drains, sewers. and streets. Capital improvements have four characteristics: (1) They last a long time. (2) They are relatively expensive. (3) They usually don't recur annually. (4) They result in fixed assets. B. Capital Expenditures - Those expenditures for public improvements and their preliminary studies and the acquisition of property or equipment for new public improvements. Capital expenditures are expenditures for capital improvements and shall be financed under the provisions of this fiscal policy and planned in terms of the five year Capital Improvement Program. Excluded from capital expenditures are operating expenditures; those annual expenditures which are necessary to the maintenance of the city, the rendering of services, and providing for - normal operations. 2. PROJECT ANALYSIS: Capital improvement projects for the five year period shall be analyzed for the following: (1) Compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan. (2) Revenue source - A clear distinction shall be made between tax supported and self -supported bonds (G.O. versus revenue bonds). All projects supported by revenue bonds must o.. 4 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES IIOIREs - demonstrate ability to develop sufficient income to repay their costs and costs associated with financing. In i addition, proposed revenue sources shall be analyzed in terms of whether the revenue can be used for the proposed lproject and the probability that the revenue will be I available. 1 (3) Compatibility with the City Council's goals. 3. MAXIMUM LIMITATIONS ON GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS: The following two maximum limitations shall apply to general obligation bonds: t A. Debt Limit: Debt pledged as a general obligation of the City of Iowa -" City shall not exceed 5% of the market value of the taxable property within the corporate limits as established by the City Assessor. (State law requirement) B. Borrowing Reserve: A minimum of 20% borrowing reserve, or debt margin, shall be _ I maintained to meet emergencies, and if so used, the bonds shall be retired as soon as possible in accordance with the provisions of this fiscal policy. 4. CEILING ON DEBT SERVICE: i — Debt service charges payable from the general tax levy shall not exceed 25% of that levy in any one fiscal year. 5. FINANCING: _ As a general rule financing of capital improvements shall meet the following guidelines: r A. The difference between tax dollars needed for operating ( ` costs and the maximum General Fund levy shall be used for capital project financing to provide for replacement needs. B. Every effort shall be made to seek out state or federal grants or assistance. '. 6. BOND ISSUES: A. General obligation bonds - Bonds shall be of a serial type and general obligations of the City of Iowa City. They shall have a maximum maturity of 20 years. The maturity schedule shall provide for level amortization payments. B. Revenue Bonds - Revenue bond financing shall be determined after first reviewing whether the use of revenue bonds M 5 MICROFILMED BY DORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIfIES I could be more advantageous than financing with general f obligation bonds.

The systems in the Civic Center operate inefficiently and are extremely high on energy consumption. RALSTON CREEK SOUTH BRANCH DETENTION STRUCTURE The purpose of this project is to provide for the construction of two dry bottom detention dams for water detention during heavy rainstorms: Under existing runoff conditions, implementation of the south branch detention project would lower projected south branch 100 year storm flows at College Street from 2700 cubic feet per second to 1930 cubic feet per second, a 29% reduction. The south branch detention structure will effectively reduce flood flows at all frequencies. LINN STREET IMPROVEMENTS The purpose of this project is to replace Linn Street from Iowa Avenue to Burlington Street. Linn Street is the remaining street which has not been improved in the major urban renewal development and will necessitate some reconfiguration in the block between Washington Street and College Street; bicycle racks need to be placed along Linn Street near the Library and City Plaza; curbline changes may need to be made near the Senior Center, as well as some changes in street lighting; modest plantings and street furniture are also included in the total cost of this project.

The project cost estimate includes removal and replacement of deteriorated pavement, removal of encroachments, and modest aesthetic improvements including security lighting. NORTH BRANCH STORM WATER DETENTION STRUCTURE The purpose of this project is to construct a dry bottom detention dam to provide for water detention during heavy rainstorms. Under existing runoff conditions and based upon preliminary hydraulic computations, implementation of the proposed detention project will lower projected rural or rural equivalent north branch 100 year storm flows at Jefferson Street from 3500 cubic feet per second to 1400 cubic feet per second, a 60% reduction. The north branch detention facilities will effectively reduce peak flows resulting from storms having a duration in excess of two hours which produce runoff in excess of channel capacity. Reduction rates attributed to this project would be greater at points closer to the project and diminish at points downstream from the uncontrolled urbanized areas as the watershed becomes greater.

Originally, it functioned primarily as the Street Division maintenance yard. As the city equipment fleet increased in size and as other functions were added to City services, the facility was expanded and modified. It should be noted that in the past 15 years the City's motorized equipment fleet has increased threefold while the maintenance facility has remained fundamentally unchanged. This project will remedy safety deficiencies, poor working conditions, lack of storage, lack of painting and washing facilities, and lack of warehouse and office facilities. BIKEWAY AND HANDICAPPED CURB CUT PROGRAM 1 80,000 Curb cuts will be made at appropriate locations to make sidewalks accessible to bicycles and wheelchairs. This project will provide for approximately 80 curb cuts throughout the community, with initial locations along First Avenue, Benton Street, and Park Road. This project relates to the Comprehensive Plan transportation policy of "developing a safe, continuous bikeway system which will encourage the use of the bicycle for transportation and recreation by all age groups." Funding for this project is 70% federal (Federal_Aid HighwayAct) and 30% Road Use Tax. BIKEWAY PEDESTRIAN TRAIL - EAST SIDE OF RIVER I 30,000 This trail would link the existing trail along North Dubuque Street (north of Park Road) with the trail along the river south of the Music School footbridge to Madison Street. It would take bicyclists off the North Dubuque Street hill (south of Park Road) and considerably ease the flow of traffic on this street. This trail is part of the continuous green belt river trail shown in the Comprehensive Plan, the Stanley River Corridor Study, and the Preliminary Bikeways Plan.

Fiscal year 1980's project is specifically designed to correct structural deficiencies on the city's arterials and bus routes. Next year's project will be designed to correct structural deficiencies on the city's residential streets and alleys. The presence of heavy traffic such as busses and the absence of regular preventive maintenance has accelerated deterioration of many of these streets and necessitates overlaying them to increase structural strength and prevent further deterioration. ROCKY SHORE BIKEWAY 100;000 The purpose of this project is to provide a bikeway on the west side of Rocky Shore Drive that will connect the Finkbine Bikeway with Normandy Drive and the bikeway through City Park.

CBD STREETSCAPE - PHASE II 1 1,000,000 The purpose of this project is to provide streetscape improvements on Washington, Clinton, Burlington and Capitol Streets adjacent to blocks 83 and 84. The redevelopment of the CBD (Central Business District) and construction activity on blocks 83 and 84 will cause a need to repair or replace major portions of Washington and Capitol Streets. Parking ramp construction will necessitate replacement of sidewalks on Burlington and Clinton Streets.. Because the modulars have been located in the right-of-way, major repair/replacement has been deferred.

Mercer Park has developed into a sports complex with five ball diamonds, four of them lighted, six tennis courts, a playground, and a swimming pool. Current restroom facilities are terribly inadequate. This building would be located in the ball diamond area close to the existing maintenance shed. ADDITION TO RECREATION CENTER 120,000 This project would provide for the design and construction of a 40' x 85' addition to the Recreation Center for " four handball courts. Handball courts are the most needed indoor sports facility for the city. The addition can be heated by the existing boilers. Some of the existing parking spaces would be eliminated and the addition would need to be flood-proofed since it is in the Ralston Creek flood plain. WILLOW CREEK TENNIS COURTS 60,000 The city has 12 tennis courts at the present time and should have 48, based on national standards. Tennis is one of the fastest growing sports in the U. S. and is a lifetime sport. Four tennis courts in Willow Creek Park will give some geographical balance to location of tennis courts in the city. F.

The steadily increasing number of passengers, along with higher traffic volumes and adverse weather and road conditions, have served to prevent drivers from maintaining posted route schedules. It is anticipated that Spring weather conditions will alleviate this problem to a degree. However, Transit officials believe that a need for long term solutions exists. These are likely to include route restructuring as well as the designation of fewer bus stops along the routes. For the present, riders should expect rush hour buses to run off schedule and are again encouraged to utilize bus service during off-peak hours whenever possible.
