Mr. Donald Sehr, Chairman
Johnson County Board of Supervisors
Johnson County Courthouse
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. Sehr:
1
1 During the past two years a great deal of attention has been directed
toward the concept of a joint effort by the City of Iowa City, Johnson
County, and United Way regarding the funding of Human Services agencies.
The City Council has supported this concept from the beginning and we
feel it would be of great benefit to all citizens of this area to see
I their tax dollars used as efficiently and effectively as possible in
satisfying human service needs. We are convinced that a well integrated
joint effort is the best of all possible methods of achieving that goal.
i J
i The Johnson County Regional Planning Commission staff has prepared a
plan in which contributions by the City of Iowa City, Johnson County,
United Way, and JCRPC all contribute to a joint planning effort. We
feel that this plan is a sound one with considerable potential for
alleviating many of the past problems we have encountered during the
decision making process regarding Human Services funding.
At our informal meeting of March 12, 1979 the City Council agreed that
we would support the plan. With the proper funding and administrative
effort, this program should prove to be of great value to the citizens
of the entire county. We strongly urge that the Johnson County Board of
Supervisors join with the City, United Way and JCRPC in supporting this
program.
Sincerely yours,
, Robert A. Vevera'��
Mayor

MEMORAND"M
Date: March 16, 1979
To: All Department Heads
From: CitWer
Re: Written Evaluations
As we discussed several weeks ago, my evaluation of department heads
this year will be based partly upon a written assessment which will
be prepared by you. I have enclosed as a guide for this process the
personal evaluation form which is to be completed by each of you.
In addition prepare a memorandum which discusses:
1. Your accomplishments this past year.
2. The accomplishments which you will be seeking to achieve this
coming year.
3. Your interpersonal skills (both positive and negative
characteristics).
4. Problem areas which you plan to work on in the coming year.
Items one and two, above, should relate to the operation of your
department (efficiency and effectiveness) and should not be a
discussion of specific work projects. Item four may include a
discussion of both projects and department operations.
After review of these materials I will discuss them with you in
detail. From this discussion, we will jointly develop a performance
contract for the coming year. Upon completion of the performance
contract we will review salary adjustments. I would appreciate
having all information no later than April 15.

Re: Non -ERA Travel
Two requests have recently been reviewed for travel to non -ERA
states.
The annual workshop of Institutional and Municipal Parking Congress
is being held in Hollywood, Florida, from April 8-11. This program
provides much information which would be relevant to the Iowa City
Parking Systems since we will soon be using parking ramps. The
opportunity to review equipment and exchange ideas is very
informative and educational. It is believed that this workshop would
provide Mr. Fowler with much additional expertise. We are aware of
no other opportunity to obtain this information in the current
calendar year. Unless the Council makes an exception to the policy,
Mr. Fowler would not be able to avail himself of this information
this year. A copy of the program is included.
The other request is for the Midwest Symposium on Therapeautic
Recreation to be held in Rock Island, Illinois. Janet Lown, our SPI
director, wishes to attend this meeting. The program is coordinated
by the University of Missouri and sponsored by 12 states. A copy of
the program is enclosed.

Re: The Attached List of Calendar Street Parking Proposals
i
The attached list of streets and block numbers were originally
submitted to Council to show those residential streets which had been
selected for calendar parking and those through streets upon which
the 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday thru Friday prohibition was to be added.
The attached list has been modified to reflect either changes
directed by Council or recommendations where the existing
j prohibitions are more satisfactory. In general, if a block number is
i I lined out, this indicates the presence of either a school, a hospital
or a park where existing prohibitions are perhaps more suitable than
the proposed calendar parking prohibitions. This list will be useful
in Monday's discussion of calendar parking.

Date: March 15, 1979
To: Neal Berlin and City Council
From: Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works
Re: Parking Decisions to be Made 3/19/79
Listed below are questions Council needs to answer. I have also listed
the opinions of Jim Brachtel and myself.
1. QUESTION: Present regulations provide no parking 8 A.M. to 11 P.M.
seven days a week. Should the days and hours be changed?
COMMENT: Leave the regulations in effect from 8 A.M. to 11 P.M.
seven days a week, but exempt Sunday from,8 A.M. to 1 P.M. within one
block of any church.
One of the major purposes of calendar parking is to prohibit long
term storage. If we were to change the regulations to be in effect
from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. as some have proposed, this would allow a car to
remain parked for 39 hours without moving. It would also allow
parking on both sides of the street at the time of peak evening
traffic congestion, that is, just after 5 P.M.
Many streets are too narrow to allow parking on both sides for any
length of time. On these streets (for example Davenport Street),
parking would have to be prohibited on one side all the time as it
was previously..—.
Many callers say they move their car at 11:00 P. M., not because they
don't understand the sign, but to "beat" others to the other side of
the street. The intent of the 11:00 P.M. time was to discourage this
type of behavior. It would be desirable to have cars parked on only
one side of the street all through the night. This can be promoted
by changing the hour to midnight or rigorously enforcing the
prohibitions late at night or both.
2. QUESTION: How should funeral parking around churches be handled?
COMMENT: Funeral directors should be in charge of calling the Police
Department to inform them that a funeral will take place. The
funeral director should then be in charge of installing City -
approved signs on a temporary basis that would have a message:
"Funeral Parking Only". These signs would be installed on the side
of the street where parking would normally be prohibited that day.
The funeral director would also be in charge of removing the signs
after the funeral.

3. QUESTION: Should the parking program include all of the area from
the Iowa River to Seventh Avenue and from Brown Street to Highway 6
or should it be reduced or expanded in size?
COMMENT: The program should include the original area. While some
of the streets presently do not need the signing there will be "spill
over" from other areas unless the entire area is signed. We feel
that the boundaries are far enough out so that spill over will be
minimized beyond the boundaries.
4. QUESTION: How should mid -week meetings at churches be handled?
COMMENT: No special exemption should be made. These meetings are
similar to any other activity.
i
j 5. QUESTION: Should there be any changes in the 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.
parking prohibitions on streets which have "No Parking Any Time" on
the opposite side?
COMMENT: ' We would suggest removing the 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. parking
1 prohibitions on Market Street between Clapp and Evans; Jefferson
between Gilbert and Evans; and Dodge from Burlington to Bowery. We
would suggest adding No Parking Anytime 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. on the north
side of Bowery from Dodge to Van Buren and No Parking Anytime from
Van Buren to Gilbert.
On an street with the 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.
q y prohibition, the hours really
should be 7 A.M. to 6 P.M. to accommodate peak hour traffic.
However, on these streets there would then be no parking at all
between 7 A.M. and 6 P.M. anywhere on the street; therefore 8 A.M. to
y 5 P.M. seems to be a reasonable compromise. (Keep in mind _that--
streets
hat__streets with calendar parking always have parking allowed on one side
of the street and between 11 P.M. and 8 A.M., parking is allowed on
both sides.)
6. QUESTION: Should parking be allowed on both sides of College,
�i
E. Washington and E. Iowa?
COMMENT: No. There is no difference between these streets and any
other street in town in regard to calendar parking. One of the major
purposes of calendar parking is to prohibit long-term storage of
vehicles. In addition, College Street is a bus route and has been
aided greatly by removal of parking on one side.
It is clear that anyone who has their personal parking space affected is
going to be unhappy about any type of restriction on their parking habits.
Any change in anyone's habits creates controversy and disruption.
Compromises in this program now will provide less incentive to seek
alternate solutions such as forcing landlords to construct off-street
parking, leaving cars in long-term storage lots, using parking spaces off
the alleys, etc.

The transition period after a change is always difficult, but in this
case, the benefits will be worth it. For years, the City and its citizens
have grappled with the parking problem, but no action has ever been taken.
Finally, a solution is being implemented. This solution, or any other
real solution, will always be opposed by some group for some reason. If
Council can hold firm, people will adjust.

Re: 1. Council Referrals - Policy for Senior itizens Regarding
Assistance in Carrying Out Cans, 2. Location of Containers
1. At the present time we do provide carry -out service for handicapped
citizens. We do not provide special service for a citizen just
because they are a senior citizen. At the present time we have
about 80 to 100 carry -outs of this nature. We would like to keep
this to a minimum.
When considering this matter keep in mind that a large portion of
the town has had refuse picked up at the street curb for several
years. It is only in the areas of town with alleys that we have
made a switch. There have been no unusual problems with senior or
handicapped citizens carrying out containers in the newer portions
of town and we do not anticipate unusual problems in the interior
area. If a handicapped citizen needs assistance we will provide
that assistance.
2. Council had also wished to know where garbage cans 'should be kept
on the property. The ordinance provides that containers be re-
turned to a place as near as reasonably possible to the side or
back of any permanent building on the property.

Re: Rubber-tired R 11 r
1 The City currently rents a rubber-tired roller to compact gravel on
` streets and alleys prior to sealing them with oil. The rubber-tired
roller is also used on alleys after the application of rock to tie the
material tightly together.
We have been renting a roller and the dealer advises us that 85 percent of
the rental cost can go toward purchase price. By the end of the summer we
will have paid for the roller. 'It is our recommendation that we go ahead
and purchase this roller immediately instead of having only 85 percent of
the rental charges applied toward the purchase.
For the long-term we will need a roller. Anew roller costs approximately
$19,000 to $22,000 and this roller is available for an additional $4,390
1 at this point in time. The machine will need a few thousand dollars worth
of repairs to make it suitable for the next ten to twenty years. This
seems a desirable alternative.
i
Unless Council advises otherwise, we will proceed ahead with the immediate
purchase of this vehicle.

From: Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works
Re: Termination of Alley Garbage Pickup
Public Works would recommend that we continue with our present policy of
picking up garbage only on the street curb. This should be done for the
following reasons:
1. It allows the City to provide year around service during the snows
of winter and the mud of spring and summer. Although the City will
be plowing alleys in the future as a result of calendar parking,
alleys are at the bottom of the priority list and it may be two or
three days until they are plowed after a severe snowstorm. By
continuing garbage pickup at the street curb we can provide the
best service for garbage pickup.
2. There seems little reason to continue alley pickup. Street pickup
has been the normal routine throughout much of the community for
years and it works well. There is not a great deal more effort
involved in bringing containers to the street curb than in taking
many smaller containers to the alley.
Surprisingly, some people still report that they are taking many
small containers to the alley and then lugging the cans from the
alley out to the street curb. This is extra work. It would be
advantageous to put cans near the house and then carry them out to
the street once per week.
3. Street curb pickup does provide more efficient pickup. We do not
have to fight parked cars, tree limbs, and other types of obstructioi
in alleys and we are able to complete the routes faster and at
lower cost.
4. Some citizens react adversely to any change. A few years ago, the
route boundaries were changed so some Thursday pickups were done on
Monday. Although the news media advertised these changes, these
citizens were very irate because there had been a change. There
was no difference in the basic service, but a routine was modified.
The same situation applies to alley pickup. Much of the City has
had curb pickup for years, but for those with alleys, this is a
change. In a few weeks, habits will change and the matter will be
forgotten.
5. Handicapped who really cannot handle a plastic bag or a can will be
provided with carry out service. This has been our policy for
years.

TO: City Manager and City Council
FROM: Hugh A. Mose, Transit Manager iV?m
RE: UMTA SECTION 18 GRANT POSSIBILITIES
On Tuesday, March 13, I met with Riaz Chaudry, the IDOT
Public Transit Division regional manager for this area.
He told me that it appeared likely that we would get
UMTA assistance in our present grant application through a
combination of Section 3 (Capital Projects) and Section 18
(Rural/Small Urban) funds. Federal review of the application
should be finished by the end of June.
Chaudry also strongly encouraged the City to apply for
additional Section 18 funds to finance the acquisition of
two-way radios, bus stop signs, and passenger shelters.
These projects were originally scheduled for inclusion in
the Section 3 grant, but on the advice of UMTA officials were
deleted.
There is no separate "application" for Section 18 fed-
eral funds; like the State assistance program, the Regional
Transit Development Program (RTDP) will serve as the
information source.
City Council discussed and approved the purchase of
these capital items at the time the FY78 and FY79 State
transit assistance grants were applied for. Therefore,
unless directed otherwise, the Iowa City portion of the RTDP
will be written to include their acquisition under the new
Section 18 program.
Cost estimates are as follows:
ITEM COST
Local State Federal ' Total
1. Two-way Radios $3,620 $3,620 $28,960 , $36,200
(22 bus, 2 auto, 1 base)
2. Bus Stop Signs $2,025 $2,025 $16,200 , $20,250

MEMORANDIOM
Date: March 14, 1979
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Angela Ryan, Assistant City Attorney
Re: LSNRD Plan for ACT
Several staff members have been involved in the discussion regarding the
access to the proposed site for ACT. I have reviewed the dedication
which was signed by three of the four property owners in 1970. Since
the last signature was never obtained and the City did not accept the
dedication, I don't believe that it is presently a City street. Jim
Shive contacted Mr. Muller of Howard Johnson's on March 13, 1979, and he
stated that Howard Johnson's is opposed to any island because it will
make access to the parking lot more difficult for Greyhound buses and
semis. Mr. Shive has offered to pay $2,000 to provide the island on
Howard Johnson's property.
Under these circumstances, I see the following alternatives:
1. The City can deny the LSNRD plan if it feels that the access pro-
vided is unsafe. You may wish to consider the ramifications to the
City if ACT should construct this facility at alternate locations
within the City or elsewhere in the County.
2. The City can approve the LSNRD plan, accept the $2,000 from ACT and
Shive-Hattery for the improvements and condemn the street. Based
upon the appraisal of Amherst Street last summer, I believe the
cost will be a minimum of $10,000. Jim Shive has expressed an un-
willingness to assume this cost.
3. The City can approve the LSNRD plan, permit the street to remain a
private street and allow the property owners to make their own
provisions for improvements. This alternative should be premised
upon a finding that the proposed access is safe, although less than
ideal.
If you have further questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

been pursued by the legal department to conclusion. 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.
'Phe Commission appreciates your attention to this matter. If it is
at all possible for you or one of your assistants to attend our

regarding the failure of the staff to follow through on appeals heard
by the Housing Board of Appeal. The staff of the Department of

the steady and proper enforcement of the codes and ordinances under
our jurisdiction. To help you understand the importance of this
problem, allow me to provide you with the following information:
The following cases are pending prosecution with your staff. The

Dear Mike:
Attached is a copy of the memorandum I have sent to Jerald Smithey,
Chairperson of the Iowa City Housing Commission. I am very much aware
of the concerns that you and Mr. Smithey have concerning the backlog of
cases in the housing enforcement area. Unfortunately, as I indicated, I
do not see any relief in the near term. We can certainly try to handle
particularly high priority cases on an ad hoc basis. However, until we
are full-time staff it will be difficult to really assess whether we can
provide the necessary service with our present authorized staffing
level.
Obviously at some point it may be necessary to expand the Legal Department
staff. However, as I mentioned to Mr. Smithey my impression is that the
Council would not be receptive to this at this point in time. I think
we are going to have to wait and see what kind of service we are able to
provide after we are at full authorized staffing levels.
In the meantime, however, as I suggested to Mr. Smithey, please do not
hesitate to bring to my attention cases which you think ought to have
particular priority. We will do our best to handle those for you.
John Hayek.

To: Jerald Smithey, Chairperson, Iowa City Housing Commission
From: John Hayek, City Attorney
Dear Mr. Smithey:
Thank you for your memorandum of January 31. 1 am very much aware of
the heavy backlog of legal matters now pending in the Legal Department.
Unfortunately, I do not see the backlog easing in the near future. The
demands placed upon Legal Department personnel have been extremely heavy
and as you know we are still short-handed by one person. I do hope to
be adding another attorney to our staff within the next few months and
this should help us in getting the work turned out. However, as I
indicated, I do not see this as providing relief in the near future.
In your memorandum you indicate the possibility of CBDG money being
available. My own impression is that the City Council would be reluctant
at this point to expand the Legal Department by adding another attorney.
I would hesitate to make that request to them unless it appears that
over the long -run there is a significant shortfall in our ability to
provide service. If that would be the case, I would certainly want to
visit with you and with the other staff persons involved to discuss your
suggestion further.
In the meantime, may I suggest that if there are particular cases which
you, the Commission, or Mr. Kucharzak regard as particularly important
that you bring those to my attention and I will do my best to see to it
that they are handled as expeditiously as possible.
John Hayek.

Re: Legal Backlog
I have received a copy of your response to Jerald Smithey, Chairperson
of the Housing Commission, along with a memo to myself indicating your
response to our joint request for assistance in reducing the backlog of
matters requiring legal attention. My position is that every item we
send to Legal requiring charges being filed or the need for a written
legal interpretation of the code are important. I further do not feel I
can determine which is more important than the next since I don't know
in which particular building a citizen will become injured and sue the
City for failure to actively pursue enforcement, nor can I determine
whether the fact that we are not issuing any rental permits for rooming
houses in apartment buildings is any more important than a citizen who
is awaiting a legal interpretation prior to obtaining a building permit.
I am sympathetic to your administrative problems. However, let me share
some of mine; cases awaiting legal action involve several witnesses that
either are no longer with the City or will be leaving shortly. They
are: Robert Edberg, who was terminated; Bruce Burke, who has submitted
his resignation; Charles Calef, who has submitted his resignation; and
Phyllis Kelley, who has been offerred a job and plans to terminate
employment with the City. My concerns for support are predicated on
part by these changing personnel matters and are compounded by the fact
that we soon see approximately 30 additional charges to be filed for
operating rental property without a valid permit.
I submit that although your problems appear to have a solution, that the
record of cases pending legal action indicate a rather long period of
neglect that will only become compounded as our department becomes
better organized and more efficient in the delivery of enforcement
services.

Re: Proposed Code Changes to Housing Occupancy & Maintenance Code
Attached please find a memorandum suggesting a variety of Code changes to
the Housing Code proposed by the staff and incorporating suggested changes
of the Board of Appeals and the Board of Housing Appeals. The memorandum
has been reviewed by the Housing Commission and has received their
support.
Although the number of proposed changes seems lengthy, some of them are of
a housekeeping nature and deal with correcting problems of spelling or
punctuation or clarification of language in the Code, others are changes
in licensing such as the section on second class dwellings, and still
others are suggested changes for consideration that deal with state law.
During the informal Council session the director will attempt to focus
discussion on Code changes that are not "housekeeping" but are rather
proposed changes that either establish new licensing procedures or impact
upon state law. Hopefully, the staff will receive sufficient guidance
from the Council to prepare a final recommendation of Code changes for
action.
Since May 19, 1978, the staff has had considerable experience in inspec-
tion and routine enforcement of the Code and has found that the majority
of the Code works well and is well received by citizens. We have not had a
chance to test the Code in court, and well may be going into a major Code
revision without benefit of a court test.

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 14, 1979
To: Neal Berlin and City Council
From: Michael Kucharzak, Director, Housing & Inspection Services
Re: Home Winterization and Emergency Repair Grant Program
The Housing Commission, during their meeting of March 7, 1979, suggested
that the Home Winterization and Emergency Grant program as developed by
the staff following the meeting with the task force be amended to allow
people less than 63 to participate in the program.
Attached you will find a revised Chapter 4 for Council consideration.
The revisions contained therein would allow grants to be given to
people 60 years of age or older and grants to be given to younger people
with such grants carrying a lien against the property.
Staff will be available at the informal Council session to discuss and
answer any questions. It is further anticipated that members of the

City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 12 , 1979
TO: Neal Berlin, City Manager
FROM: Harvey D. Miller, Police Chief
RE: Statistical Report for February, 1979
Almost every complaint or request for police services
category declined in February, 1979. I attribute
this to the shorter month and the bitterly cold
weather. Regardless of that, a monthly decline of
608 requests for service is significant. On the
other hand arrests, citations, tickets, etc. increased
by nearly 800 during the same period of time indicat-
ing a continued high level of activity on the part of
the officers.
Of major significance was the decline in reports of
larceny theft; auto theft; offenses against family
and children; motor vehicle accidents; and parking
offenses within the city. I attribute the decline in
parking complaints to the much needed even/odd parking
arrangements in effect in much of the city. That
particular arrangement was long overdue in a community
of this size with the special vehicular parking and
movement problems apparent here.
Animal Control activities continued at the same pace
as the prior month. The Detective Division exper-
ienced a couple of coups in successful investigations
and arrests and handled more investigations than ever.
The new Animal Control van arrived in February and
was placed in service.
Five Police Officers graduated from the Iowa Police
Academy in February and have been assigned to regular
duties. Of special interest is the fact that Officer
Tom Widmer was elected President of the class and
Bruce Gantenbein elected Secretary. Iowa City
Officers walked away with most of the awards and
honors.
Statistical abstracts are attached.

Because you live or own property in the area that will be affected by
the projects proposed in the Small Cities Grant Preapplication, we feel
it is important that you are kept up-to-date on the status of the preappli-
cation and related matters of concern. This is the first of a series of
newsletters that we will be sending to you, which will help us keep in
touch throughout the planning and implementation processes.
This first newsletter reports on the current status of the Small Cities
Program, explains why the program was recently in the news, and announces
the appointment of a Small Cities Area Representative to the Committee
on Community Needs.
As further developments occur in the Small Cities Program, you and your
j neighbors may wish to get more involved in the planning and implementation
processes. We hope that you will. If so, we will gladly help organize.
and arrange for neighborhood meetings and meetings with City officials.
Meanwhile, we will keep you posted on the latest developments, and will
try to answer all your questions.

NEWSLETTER
for Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood
Status of Small Cities Program
The preapplication requesting funding for improvements, particularly
to the Ralston Creek Channel, in your neighborhood has been sent off
to HUD and we hope to hear from them early in April. As you know this
preapplication is competitive, however, if Iowa City is asked to
submit a full application in April our chances of funding are
excellent.
I Johnson County Regional Planning A-95 Review
You may have seen an article in the Iowa City Press -Citizen on
February 22, 1979 stating that the Johnson County Regional Planning
Commission had unanimously approved the City's preapplication for
funding under the Small Cities Program. The Department of Housing
! and Urban Development (HUD) requires that the local planning
agencies review all grant applications for Federal funds. The
! purpose of this review is to insure that proposed projects are
consistent with the overall plans for the area. The Commission
indicated that our proposals were supportive of regional plans and in
fact implemented the goals and objectives of Johnson County. This
positive review of the proposal by the Johnson County Regional
Planning Commission has now also been forwarded to HUD.
Appointment to CCN
On Tuesday, March 6, the Iowa City City Council appointed Ron Johnson
to the Committee on Community Needs (CCN). City Council members feel
that having a representative from the Small Cities Project Area on
the Committee is very important because the CCN is an advisory group
to the Council in matters relating to community development
projects. Ron Johnson, who owns property in the Small Cities area,
applied and was chosen to serve as your area spokesman on this
Committee.
The CCN meets on the first Wednesday of each month, during the noon
hour. Their meetings are held in the City Recreation Center, and are
open to the public.
Future Planning
If the City is successful and is asked to submit a full application,
a neighborhood group will be organized in your area to assist with
this application. As you know, to date final detailed plans for the
area have not yet been developed. We have not determined exactly how
and what channel and bridge improvements will be made to Ralston
Creek, nor do we know exactly which households or businesses need to
be relocated. You can be helpful in indentifying additional or
alternative improvements for the area.
Start thinking now - we will need your ideas - you know the problems
and solutions best!

The Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
Civic Center
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mayor Vevera and Council Members:
The residents of Governor Street between Bowery and Burlington
object to the recently instituted ban on parking on Governor Street
from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. weekdays, and an overwhelming majority have
signed petitions requesting an end to the ban. The petitions are
enclosed.
Though I do not represent any of the residents as their lawyer,
I have spoken with many of them and share their concerns. I believe
my views as expressed herein do represent the feelings of many of my
.d
neighbors.
It is my understanding that Mr. Plastino has recommended that
parking on Governor Street be returned to its previous status, i.e.,
no parking on the west side, unrestricted parking on the east side
of the street. I urge the Council to accept his recommendation.
'
In addition, I support the efforts of residents in other areas who
are requesting reconsideration of the parking restrictions affecting
c
them.
Adoption of the 8-5 ban. I believe this policy was put into
effect wit out full consideration of relevant factors, and without
adequate notice to the residents. The Press -Citizen reported that
public hearings would be held on the calen ar parting and snow
emergency ordinances, but it appears that the restrictions affecting
Governor Street and 20 other streets was a separate action taken
without an opportunity for citizens to express their views.
i{
Stated purposes of the policy.
Snow removal, Mr. Brachtel's memo of January 12, 1979,
lists snow removal as one reason for no parking 8-5 on the selected
streets. I submit that the restriction is much broader than neces-
sary to effect that purpose. The use of temporary no -parking
signs effectively facilitated snow removal from Governor Street.
Another less restrictive alternative could be a ban on parking
on designated snow emergency days, pursuant to the existing snow
emergency ordinance. My observation has been that few cars are
parked on the street during the day, and that snow plowing is
Coo �

CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1401NES
I
City Council -2- March 7, 1979
nearly always done late at night, after most of the cars have
returned. Certainly the need to remove snow several times a year
does not warrant a parking prohibition 260 days of the year.
Refuse collection was another reason cited by Mr. Brachtel
for the parking prohibition. This issue is closely related to
the recent decision to stop alley garbage pick-up- I strongly
protest this decision, and urge reconsideration. Assuming arguendo
that street collection of garbage is necessary, it again appears
that the ban is overly restrictive. The purpose could be adequately
served by 8-12 ban one day per week, for example. Since few cars
are parked on Governor Street during the day, however, I seriously
doubt that any additional action is really necessary to facilitate
refuse collection.
Street cleaning is also stated as a reason for the ban. In
the timeDave lived on Governor Street, I have never noticed
that lack of street cleaning was a serious problem, and I do not
believe it is a factor warranting such strong action against
street parking.
Storage parking on the street is another reason cited for 1
the necessity of this policy. I understand that the present
1 storage parking ordinance is enforced on a complaint -only basis ;
in most areas of the city. Regular enforcement of the ordinance
�i could result in less storage without causing hardship to other
residents. Certainly the residents of Governor Street complain
Of occasional inconvenience caused by long-term parking on the 1
street, but we are much more concerned about the hardship to our
ineighbors and ourselves caused by the parking ban.
Commuter Harkin♦ is not a problem on Governor Street, since
it is very unlikely that someone would drive into the area only
to walk eight blocks to the business district.
�- o�.==�b uus routes and heavil traveled streets were
mentioned in t e Press -Citizen article as targets for the -5 ban.
Governor fits none of these descriptions. It is a reasonably
wide, one-way street, and if there ever is heavy traffic, it is
not between 8 and 5 on weekdays. As a connection between Bowery
and Burlington, Governor does not carry a heavy volume of traffic
as do some others in the area.
Given the reasons stated, it appears that the parking pro-
hibition on this portion of Governor Street is unnecessary and
not desired. Furthermore, it is causing hardship to the residents,
I and our complaints are much the same as those of persons from
I other areas.
jLac], of alternate arkin s ace is the most obvious problem
caused by t e ban. A number of people have no off-street parking
MICRDFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES
City Council -3- March 7, 1979
' adjacent to our homes. Some of us have parking spaces off the
alley, but since the alleys have not been plowed, the spaces are
inaccessible. Some have driveways which are not always accessible
because they are at the top of icy hills or are shared by two
houses. Parking on other streets is little solution to those
whohave difficulty walking, and it aggravates the problem for
residents on those other streets.
Daytime visitors are discouraged by the parking ban. On
Governor Street there are several elderly or disabled persons
who require the aid of nurses, physical therapists and other
friendly visitors. These persons suffer immeasurably from the
parking ban.
Those of us who maintain homes have a variety of needs for
daytime visitors for furnace repair, carpet -laying, roofing,
i plumbing, and countless other jobs. The ban prevents service
people from approaching our homes during their regular business
hours.
jOther social visitors have difficulty as well: individual
! friends and church or civic groups meeting at a member's home on
an afternoon. Particularly affected are senior citizens and
handicapped persons who have difficulty getting out themselves,
!i and have special need for visitors. The effect of the parking
ban is to increase the social isolation of an already disadvantaged
group.
Ordinary errands are made extremely difficult by the parking
ban; it is impossible to park in front of our homes even to carry
j in sacks of groceries or small children.
Persons working shifts other than 8- are also inconvenienced.
For a woman returning home from wor at A.M. there is an unpleasant
choice: risking a frightening walk alone down a dark street if
she parks on a street with unrestricted parking, or interrupting
her sleep at 8 A.M. for the sole purpose of moving her car.
I
Contrary to sound energy policy favoring conservation, use
of buses and carpooling, the parking ban requires moving cars daily
at 8 A.M. whether necessary or not; encourages people to drive
separately, taking four cars where previously they had taken one;
j and driving instead of using public transportation. Such waste
of resources should properly be discouraged at a time when energy
i supplies are limited and costs are rising.
i
j In summary, the parking ban on Governor Street:
I 1) Is not warranted by the nature of the street or the
j various situations which might occur;

2) Has a detrimental impact primarily on senior citizens,
handicapped persons, permanent residents and householders, rather
than on tre persons intended;
3) Has caused and continues to cause great hardship to
residents; and
4) Is opposed by nearly all the residents living along
Governor Street.
We request that the prohibition on parking on Governor Street
be lifted immediately and that no new restrictions be enforced
without careful study and an opportunity for residents to be heard.
Thank you for your consideration.

Nembers of the City Council of Iowa City:
We the residents of North Dubuque Street would like the City to know
that we are unhappy with the condition of the sidewalk on the west side
of North Dubuque Street at the foot of Kimbal.l Road. Water does not drain
off of this walk properly and it is not uncommon for it to be submerged
under several inches of water after a winter thaw or a heavy rain. In
order to avoid wading through this water, it is often necessary for pe-
destrians to step out onto Dubuque Street. Due to the heavy flow of
traffic on Dubuque Street, this is quite dangerous. What makes this
problem especially annoying is the fact that this particular sidewalk
is the only one connecting the Mayflower Apartments and the P1 Kappa
Alpha Fraternity House with downtown Iowa City. We therefore urge the
T/ /
City to take action to correct this problem.

Mr. Neal Berlin
City Manager
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. Berlin,
We are property owners at 1217 Rochester Avenue, Iowa City,
and we strongly urge the City to re -consider the new parking
ordinance for the following reasons:
1. With the 'no parking 8-5' signs on the south side of
Rochester A:enue, the street now has no parking during
the day. We happen to be one of many on the street
who have a garage reached only through the alley. However,
our garage was inaccessible for three continuous months
this winter. Rochester Avenue has no streets intersecting
it from the south for three blocks (1100, 1200, and
1300 blocks); as a result, the only parking available
during winter months would be two short streets going
north to Bloomington, which would hamper entering or
exiting Rochester Avenue.
2. The lots on the south side of Rochester are very deep.
Parking the car on the street if it will be used late
at night is often necessary for safety reasons. Although
we have lights for our backyard and garage, the alley
is not well lit for the entire *h.
3• Rochester is a 25 mph street. Thid speed limit is not
observed. Allowing no parking would appear to only increase
the speeds at which cars travel. No parking on one side
only is sufficient for two clear lanes.
Suggestions:
1. Pave the alley and plow it to guarantee its access year-
round and light the entire length of the alley for
safety.
2. Designate Rochester Avenue a Snow Emergency Route. With
a snowfall. cars must be removed until plows come through.
(Lincoln, Nebraska, has a similiar program) This seems
the most obvious solution to the problem.
We agree with Mayor Vevera's belief that the City is not
obligated to provide its residents with street parking. However,
we feel there are certain situations that necessitate parking
on the street. We urge you to re -consider the ordinance!
j Thank you.

i 04,-, 6�c f..lu
