In=its `'.final form this bill, which may become the Federal Mass Transit Actof 1974, calls for some 11 billions over a 6-year period for the support of mass transit in various categories: Provision for operating subsidies was retained in the bill},;;although;the Federal share was reduced to 33 1/3 y from the 50 l originally proposed. Lobbying for such legislation by individuals and groups even from the wilds of Iowa_is.useful. However, the combined voices of the C,ity:,.of.Iowa City,`;the IUniversity of Iowa, and the City of Coralville would'-command proportionate respect, The self-interest of all three of`these.,bodies: needs no comment. According to the information available to Citizens for Environmental Action;(our sources include "Passenger Transport," a weekly newsletter published by the American Transit Association and received locallyby ahe'Johnson County Regional Planning Commission and by the: Univers'ity'sInstitute`of Urban and Regional Planning); the iiouse=bill:and other bills introduced by the Senate Public Works Committee will be'-debated in the Senate soon after the Labor Day recess. CEA urges the City Council to communicate its official interest in, and..support of, a generous mass transit act, to Senators Clark and Hughes'and:to the chairman of the Committee on Public Works-of the Senate*' We�also suggest that you communicate with President -Ford.. CEA regards thert .ecen'proposal-in the House to allow heavier trucks--which was defeated by;:a vote of 252 to 159--as an issue entirely unrelated to mass transit. Instead', it properly belongs in the context of adequate.support.of..the Nation's rail system, which in turn is a facet of a.yet- to-be-enunciated national transportation policy. Public transportation fulfills a special societal utility in part because,of.its common-carrier :nature and its clear-cut advantage_; of-,effie iency....CEA`'argue,s that-public expenditures for mass transit are not`-inflationary,.'and, indeed, are anti-inflationary. • ',• i '� t i- t c, .t t It J. t y C �3C " r .1 t _ k t ." �• pTES PO �•MGMCDRA CDR a 2.04783OE226002'-OS/14/74f }- r ..: WQSIein.unian r 7� U.y,A/Atl ICS" I PMB NGZ CSP 1 3193519098 MGM TDBN IOWA CITY I'A 08-14 1O01P EDT ******* ZIP 52240 ©ISPIRG D GOODWIN'CO_CHAIRMAN ACTIVITIES CENTER, EAST IOWA CITY IA 52240 i t ( z C THIS MAILGRAM IS -A CONFIRMAT.IOtN-COPY OF`,THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE: 3193519098 MGM TDBN IOWA CITY IA 124, 08-14:1001P EDT ZIP l 1 REPRESENTATIVE EDWARD MEZVINSKY 1404 LONGWORTH OFFICE BLDG �.

Jim.Lindberg'introduced Chris Edgington who.is with .the University.Recreation and Education Department. He.discussed program appraisal and evaluation. He believes that in order ;to-do :;an..effective job of appraisal in any organization you.have to -have objectives and to be able to quanify-what-you are doing so,that you can see the direction that you are: moving. You must then begin to operationalize your objectives. If you can't op e, rationalize them you can't measure them effectively and they serve no purpose. He also discussed a Leisure.Attitude.Behavior and opinion Survey which was developed through the Office of Recreation and Park `Res ources at the•Univer`sity-.of'Illinois. It involves a survey method of_.resear.ch'where. you., would gointo a community, develop a random sample of pome kind`;and begin'to ask the community some of, the questions : -in regard,to your services with regard to the3.r.activity preferences and their opinions about. future program ';develop me'nt., The survey itself helps explore four things: 1. Demographic data "time, 2. How much time people have, how they spend their when they -have their leisure time - the vital components of planning leisure programs. 3. Provide informationwith''regard to leisure behavior - it`will give 'the`agency'an ;indication of how people spendtheir lei surie time. 4. Provides-your.agency with some opinions regarding the effectivenessand efficiency of your department; also with regard to; future opinions that you have for development. He also indicated that.if_the Commission considered hiring a consultant the ;total cost would `be $,5,700; however he said these•costs`could be significantly -reduced through the use of volunteers. r r n page A.

It:takesa.speoial empathy with the animals combined with`a unique personality, to form a good zookeeper. In 1973 we were fortunate ,to ;find two such,<people--Bonnie Granzow, July -Aug. and Jeanne Connel'Sept.=present. A good zookeeper is hard to find: and should-:be1. held .onto';when obtained.

The purpose of this ',project.,is to construct a parking garage to house the vehicles of employees, patients and visitors who daily come'.to the.Iowa City Station. At the time of.writing this' ..Environmental Impact State- ment, the project is entering the final preliminary design stage. -'A traffic/parking study has been completed identifying • the scope and size of,the parking garage, recommending a specific.site'on the -Iowa City Station, and identifying a cost target. for the project. The following chart, (Exhibit A), gives the scope and size of the parking needs for the V.A. Iowa City Station. Recent data supports the projected outpatient load of 80,000 visits.

Descr-i tion of the:Tnvironmental Settin "Without t eProject The Iowa City.Station"is`a"triangular shaped plot of 10.85 acres,a very minimal size for a major hospital, and contains little open space. The.majority'of the site is occupied,by.buildings,' roadways and parking. It is bounded on the north by U.S. Highway 6/-218 and the main line of the CRANDIC,Railroad, a fairly -busy local carrier. North of the railroadis a well"developed residential area located at a higher elevation-than.the V:A. site. On the west, the V.A. property is bounded by Woolf Avenue. Most of the residential property across Woolf Avenue presently is owned by the Uni- versity of Iowa.` To,the south and east,, -the V.A. site is • - bounded .by the health care"campus of the University of Iowa. The immediate adjoining propertyis utilized for a linear parking ;lot and-th.e University -has plans to construct a new roadway in ;this location. The,present-level of economic development in the area is high. Land .in`the immediate area of the V.A. property is at a premium. The land north across the highway and railroad in the residential area is some of the prime 1 -residential-.:rand; in Iowa City .;and is highly developed • The major -water:: uses ;in ,1Llne area are relaUeu w ULU: ' bl t 1 form aizd' sanitar ` waste and the ■ is pota wa er supp y, s y Iowa River. Both the City anfl the University have water treatment plants to provide potable water to their users. The V.A.'receives its wader fom the City system. Storm runoff is inter connected with the University and City storm sewer system and -flows into the Iowa River. The sewage system is_also interconnected with the University and Iowa City system and!ends up in the Iowa City treat- ment plant which iin turn°acce ses the Iowa River. The -:Iowa :River, which is (bout two blocks distant from the V.A. property;.is used solely for its natural functions,.aesthetic,image anld-for recreational purposes. TheIowa City V.A..Station serves the eastern one- , third of Iowa and the northwestern one-fourth of Illinois. This is..primarily;a' ural ar a'with a basic agricultural economy.. The larger cities in the area.do have a heavy industrial complement.Much of this, however, is related to the agricultural base. The area is part of the Upper Mississippi Valley and consists of a great deal of prime aericulti rral•:land.and-.a.general...rolling- topography. projects are underway at.thetIowa City Station. These f .1 'Of'1 y,Wy Lt._ i•t R' taw lt "`S.f i'KY S.i`Lh �� f 3 f 1 T Sl IC Z _ t j E •i".t+�{o' 6 Y •- r t M1 •, , .b' ..'.'f. are a project ao provide cen iF' ::.• ral air conditioning""for' the` existing hospital`,structure and construction of a new boiler plant. ,The air conditioning project consists j of upgrading the -existing physical plant through the provision of a.central air cl ditioning system and a central chilling structure. iThe boiler plant project is a basic replacement facility necessarybecause of the.inaccessibility.of the existing boiler room for boiler replacement. Coordination between:these projects is anticipated,to'occur;.as_aplpropriate to assure a coordinated development.;of.thle total Station site. The existinglevels of 91lution _p_ in th e project area •are ;relatively :low. ' .The ',Iowa River itself is thought locally to be fairlypolluted" however; this pollution is primarily in the nature,of agricultural runoff rather than industrial pollution and the major pollutants are decomposing.organic_matter, agricultural chemicals and water -borne siltation particlLs. The air quality in the area is generally good with no major industrial polluters. I j . i. C. A:Statement of.the AnticiT5ated Environmental Impact o t e Propose "Action The major environmental ilpacts anticipated as a result of the construction -,of a. -park ng garage at the Iowa City • Station are: l _ �; 4 M., • 1. .The concentration of t e air pollutants resulting from additio al on-site parking. • 0 i 2. A concentration of!th'e pollutants carried j on.the automobiles!whi& flushed off during rain and snow -conditions. 3 The increasedutilization of the land itself. 4. Reduction of open 'space on the site. Inter of .the concentration of air pollutants, the proposed action will add parking space for approximately 476,cars to the 'site,`an increase of approximately 100 percent. Of this total, 120 cars currently are parking on; adjoining University property. The remainder are made up by increased demand due to the growth of the Station and demand by those not presently afforded on-site parking. Because most of., -the -'se automobiles are or will be driven to the vicinity of the site in any event, the overall differ- ential in the air pollutants is not anticipated to materially increase as a result of the parking structure. This partic- ularly is�true when the proposed action is viewed on a -regional basis. The.same basic line of:reasoning holds true for the pollutants that will enter the storm water system. These ', F � t - Yip.,` M-. �`•.ZJ "+"7 N ac ti ��t ) , y � F_:a .rY 'Y. pollutants are the ,normal snowborne de icing'chemicals t and. dirt, carried ori automlobil`es dropped` in the parking r lot `and conveyed into-the storm system. The concentration will be greater at the V.I. Station as a result of the change. However, the overall:contribution to the local I watershed will be about the same as most of the vehicles i presently are or would belparking on adjoining areas. I The increased utilization of land which will be brought about by the'-construction of the parking'garage will have both adverse,;and positive environmental impacts. Putting."the vehicle storage in,a structure and thus occupying les total land area for this' function is a positive impact. s p pact. More cars in a concentrated area'do create greater con- gestion°and a concentration of air and noise pollution. Because_ much of the land being proposed for use by the parkingstructure presently is paved either for parkingor street and 'sidewalk 'functions, there will be minimal change in the ecosystem of the area. There is no native wildlife remaining in the area that will be adversely affected. 6 Pin..1> } 'S '-:il 41- rd} 3 5r r sf r k .4 f 1 k The proposed remedial, protective and mitigative` measures 'which are" ..to be taken iin''the 'design of the parking structure' 'to minimize adverse environmental impacts will relate primarily to planning and aesthetic considerations to minimize the visual impact of the structure and to enhance the perceived aesthetics. It is anticipated that land forms and plant materials will be utilized in a: --,creative way to enhance the overall surrounding area.` D. A Statement -of An Adverse.Environmental Effects Which Cannot_-.'Be.Avoi e S ou the -Proposal Be Implemented: ® The"unavoidable adverse effects as discussed above are primarily related.to air pollution and water pollution. The loss`of`-the actual land.,underlying the parking structure is a very minimum consideration. There are no anticipated damages to life systems or threats to health. No additional solid waste will_be generated and urban congestion will be minimal.: With appropriate handling of the site entrance and exit to`the parking structure,itself, it will be possible to organize circulation ih a better manner and reduce congestion. Adequate"parking'will also 'reduce the number of "hunters" (people cruising around looking for space). LJ Ll functional', aesthetic and . environmental requirements'. '-All of the 'alternatives were rated against a number of criteria and the proposed site chosen as,the one that best met all of the requirements. The other sites fellshort ,in.terms of traffic circulation, preserving future options for expansion of .the Iowa City Station- as its service program expands, reducing the, existing traffic con- gestion on:the Station,i and having a minimum visual impact on the surrounding area. 2. Provide space for remote parking and utilize amin i i-bus'or public transit system to access the V.A. site. This alternative was discarded as unfeasible.,: Much�'.of the additional need is related to patient/visitor parking and there is no alternative method for patients and visitors arrivi-ng.a-t the V-A-'7Station other than the private automobile. The..only public transit available.mithin the'se rvice area of the Iowa :..',City'�Statibn is the inter-cityandintra-city bus s Ystem .1jany of ithe.arriving patients are physically handicapped or otherwise not in good jZ not solve the.needs'of visitors and outpatients and, -would meet with major resistance on the part of personnel. 3. Taking no..action was also reviewed. Because of the growth of the Iowa City Station and the im- pending. major• involvement in .ambulatory care brought about by recent Federal legislation, this did not seem to be ,a practical solution. There is;'no alternate method of transportation for visitors and outpatients utilizing the facility. Many ofthe employees and staff, particularly chose, who live outside of Iowa City and Coralville, 23.percent, do not have access .to the public transit system so they ri,a„ by using the 10;. 0 1 .• ■ } It`Should., ` `oirited out` "that"socne'''relief'''for th p=`777 e I amount of parking ma be able to•be found in increased utilization of the public transit system. However, the long-range growth of the Iowa.City Station will offset any increase in the number.of employees who utilize public transit. F.. An 'Evaluation of.: -.the Relationship Between Local Short - Term Uses o Man s Environment and the Maintenance an En ancement;o Long-Term:Pro uctivity The cumulative and long-term impacts of the construction of a parking -garage at the Iowa City Station will be very positive. All vehicular access will be brought onto the site thus providing.a more efficient and convenient operation for visitors, patients and,..personnel. The existing land use will not be materially', changed.. The garage is planned only to solve the immediate growth needs of the institution and as such, does not make a long-range commitment to private auto transport, leaving options open for increased utilization of public transportation as, the -Station continues to grow. The major growth.determinant is the ambulatory care patient and his only means of accessing the facility is by private automobile..

The' potentz.al for damage, -to man's life support system by the construction of this facility is minimal and pri- marily consists of -transposing a number of automobiles from a different area within the locale to the V.A. site. Other than the construction process, the only energy resources that will be utilized by the building itself is! for lighting and possibly heating the elevator lobby. During the one-year construction period, there will be some temporary environmental impacts, primarily relating to construction dust,_construction noise and unavoidable runoff during the construction activity.

The=;changes in land use are minimal. Presently, most of the site is being used for surface parking. The Iowa City Station has no historical., architectural or cultural significance. The ecosystem will undergo a minimal disruption as most of.the area.presently is, paved and utilized for parking. There are no other known effects that would • curtail -the diversity and.range of beneficial uses of the environment. H.

Unfortunately;` the change..requested"in your petition is not operationally.feasible for our bus system. The new'route of the West Benton bus was '_authorizedby the:'Council so as.to extend mass transit service to,the'Mark IV.apartment complex. In order to provide this service we are operating -under several constraints. One constraint is piohibition,by the,University Heights Town Council from using.their streets for our�bus-route. Also, the change you request would require. more time than'.is available in this bus schedule. Such a change would involve four turns every hour at the I intersection of';Benton and George Streets; this is a dangerous corner due. to heavy:, -traffic on -.Benton -and 'a hill which obscures vision just to the east of George. If you have.further_questions regarding this matter,"you.may wish "to contact•Steve Morris who. -Is' the 1.Transit Superintendent for -the - City.

Local #610. ,NAME: TITLE:: DATE: :AUGUST 15, 1974 TIME:; 4 1 August 17 , b --A The Iowa City Counci Iowa City, Iowa C Dear Council: I I was truly amazed' at the article that -appeared in the Press -Citizen yesterday about .the ease with which.�citizens of Iowa City may con- tact the Council and Mayor about complaints etc. The ease in doing so is probably true, but getting action, or even an answer, is an- other thing. I am what Iowa .City (when it comes o.getting Federal Funds) likes to call a senior ._citizen. I am completely financially independent and work ,part-time to keep in.practice. ;I moved here last year and built a modest comfortabl'e,hameiand since last October have been trying to get the -vacant jot next to me;cleaned. I have gone through all offices at _City Hall in the new "Weed Commissioner". As a last -res ort`I wrote a letter to the'Mayor (who has.not even been courteous` enough to answer. People;in°public `office usually answer their constituents'letters even though it might be a trite reply). I must admit that a half -Hearted effort was made to cut the weeds. if we have.a_weeId commissioner I. cannot understand why the people who own lots such as this .cannot be made to clean them up on a regular basis.;; I cannot keep the weeds from this lot out of my yard and consequently,' I have to pay someone, to keep them cut near my, property. -The Citysknows who owns this lot as well as the un- sightly lot at the corner of Benton and Sunset and they should be made to keep it clean. i In the same letter I complained about the median in Sunset Street as being dangerous ; becauseof-the drop off: drop immediate action, as a matter-of`fact within a co1.uple of days. The entire median for about three "blocks was ug out `and left.' The paved area of the street is. so narrow that now if:h`C. out of>my.-driveway a half inch off course I will'not fall i11nto'the median •which has _a drop off of about i foot now and although,we.liave not had:rain since Saturday it is filled -with about 6; inches of stagnant water breeding all kinds of bugs and insects. To me this is intolerable. I called the City Hall about a.month ago and spoke to`someone:in the Streets Department. He told me this street was dugout as a mistake - they were going to pave it, but have now decided not to and are going to fill it up with dirt again. This, to.me,js trim nal..,,We, the citizens have to pay to have, it dug out, have to:live with the conditions'as they are now and then have to pay ':again.: to have the`dirt.hauled back in. In the meantime, workmen coming to do work.at:our,homes have no place to park, guests visiting ourhomes have no -place to park. I ask you in i 1 2 5' pit 3s -1 r �M 'xn' y' '4 4 4?t '• ��: 1 all honesty, do you think an efficient,,intelligent City Council would permit this condition to exist? I understand you are opening a new subdivision; at the�end of Sunset, .,Don't you think it would be'more..prudefit to take care of,the`',existing"one before extending it? Frankly, as'one who -wa.sin the real estate business before coming to Iowa, the last thing Iawa; City.7needs now is another sub- divisionand 'if''you have any; doubts, drive around the city and see the houses for. sale'.in August in Iowa"City and then check the mortgage money available'. What Iowa City needs more than anything-is.a decent shopping area, and not a downtown fiasco, but decent.stores..like Armstrongs, or Carson, Pirie and.Scott, etce tolkeep the money in Iowa City and not send it to Cedar'Rapids, Davenport or Des Moines. The slogan for Iowa City could be... Sears or Wards does not have it (in the catalog): -it just isn't here'. I would appreciate an answer as to'_when I can expect the lot to be cleaned and why the owner cannot belmade.to.keep it clean and when the street is going to be fixed decently.

Public [4orks The lot in_question is.'no_Yth of 906`Sunset and is owned by Earl Yoder Construction Co_ In compliance with a Nuisa-ce r?otice sent to him on 20 June,-" une, 1974C, it was motaed before 1 July., Iie, Ihr_ Yoder, has,a proble.1 too in that the neighborgood uses this lot for a duming ground. I will check it again today. -If it needs inswing again I will again serve notice on Mr. You r. Res -?C: -;full , Billie_ ■ Ir ..<. Dear Mrs. Green: First, a coalnent: The Weed and Turf Ordinance is still in it's infancy, but.has already 'experienced 'an encouraging amount of cooperation from. -,the land owners. It may take a little more time for contractors and owners of undeveloped lots to anticipate regular;morai.ng rather than be reminded each time. Under the.old.policy the City did no mewing on private property until July or later and that one mowing was "it" for the whole season. In your case Mr. Yoder has.mowed once and I'm certain he will cooperate and mow, again after receiving the notice going out in today's mail; Your oomment`concexning the trash on the lot is a sad but true course of events. People do seem to consider an empty lot as fair game for their added debris. This really adds to the mowing problem and is quite unfair to the property owner. I believe that it is asking too much to assn-ne that Yx. Yoder will mow the lot in any other fashion than was:used during the last mow- ing. ,There is nothing-n'the.Ordinance_ that indicates that it must be treated as a -lawn—only that it -must be mowed to eliminate the weeds.

I know that you have been very;"much concerned about the outcome of this legislation. As You probably know, the, conference report did finally-- pass both the House and Senate last week. I am enclosing a copy of the conference report for your information. I share your feeling that the Senate bill was preferable to the House bill in many ways: The compromise. that was reached is far from Perfect, `but `it is the result of a very difficult conference. Some of the Senate proposals;_particularly in'the area of housing, did prevail., though the House community development section was changed very little. There are, as'you menti onIed in your letter guidelines requiring that community d , national evelopment funds be spent to benefit low- and moderate- income families or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. In regard -to your question about Iowa City's eligibility for Community Development funds since the population was less than 50,000 in the 1970 census' have been assured!by the Senate Housing Subcommittee that a more recent._special censuscertification will qualify. As I under- stand it,.YOU 'would qualify apyway for "hold harmless" funds over the next three years. i. As you may know, the President is expected to sign the bill tomorrow. The enclosed report is the final -version of the legislation. Please let me know if you need further information,,or if there is any other way I can be of help.

I would like to suggest September 11 as a possible date for the first meeting at which time the agenda could be determined. The second meeting would follow as described inmy letter of July 16. If. this date is agreeable (or not) would you please notify Ms..Caroline Embiee, 741 Dearborn Ave, Iowa City, Iowa 52242. Thank_you. i I Sincerely i FROM: George R. Bonnett,'City, Engineer RE: Chronology of Events' Relating to the 518 Project L Per your request, -the following is ajsynopsis of events relating to the alignment and general design of the 518-and".Route 1 projects adjacent to the City of Iowa City. I have..made a thorough review of the information contained in our own files as well as those of.the City Clerk to compile this data. November '19 .1963 = Bryn Mawr,Heights,�Inc. signed an agreement indicating t at they would hold a,corridor open on the south line of Sections 16 and 17 for a period of -.five years iflthe City of Iowa City would extend its best'efforts_toposition the "southwest by. -pass in this area. Planning:at this time generally,.indicated an extension of Route 1 directly westward from -.the -intersection of'17218:to approximately the center of Section 17. At the center of�Section 17 the:.roadway generally shifted northward:'to align with,Benton.Street extended and then traveled westerly to hook up to 218 projected south from I-80.: Very little documentation exists with respect.to this planning work in that it was primarily based on discussions between the,City,of Iowa= City and the Iowa State Highway Commission. You:;will find.a sketch of this proposed alignment as Attachment l to this Memorandum. August 26, 1965 - A"public hearing washeld concerning a proposed relocation o U.S. 218 and Iowa No.,,.l known as Project No. 52F218-0(0)18. The realignment of Highway,a.was.generally'similar to the 1965 proposal in that it extended' -westerly -from the -218 and No. l intersection to approximately the center of Section'.17 where it shifted northerly to line up with Benton_Street:extended._ Route A relocated then proceeded westerly on the centerline'of:Benion'Street`'.to a new proposed facility which would tie 'in -to -Highway 1. 380.. This.new facility extended from the old Highway 1 in Section 25 northerly with an intersection at Benton Street extended.as,well.as Melrose' Avenue to the center of Section 12. This 'facility.then'traveled northwesterly to tie in to the proposed intersection_of'380'and I-80. The new north=south facility was proposed to be four lanes from;;the intersection _of `T-80 to the intersection of Benton Street, with two lanes running south until the facility tied in to the old Route:l'wheie.the project -stopped. You will find a sketch of that proposed alignment" delineated as Attachment 2 to this Memorandum. August 11, 1966 -'A public hearing was held on this date for Project No. F218-3,- 4,,F92=9, and.F22,=2. Basicilly'this was the relocation of 218 on a diagonal -from a point approximately two miles south of Iowa City diagonally northwest to ', -the intersection of ,I-80 and 380. This new diagonal was proposed -"as a four `l ane divided roadway with a 50 foot 0 median 'with an interchange on. Melrose Avenue as well as the existing Route 1. t is interesting '_to note that'Route l was not proposed to be realigned under this; project. During :this public hearing the University of Iowa :submit ted ` a letter'dated August 10, 1966, supporting the Highway 218 relocation but requesting that he intersection of Highway 1 and the new facility be relocated approximately, 3/4 of a mile northwesterly of its existing location. The:University,at that =time was forecasting an additional 504 units at the_Hawkeye Apartments on Melrose Avenue as well as the building of a dormitory on Melrose Avenue for.more than 2,000 students. The University felt that relocating Route 1.northwesterly would help reduce the traffic flow' on Melrose Avenue.- The�Mayor of Iowa City, Mr. William Hubbard, also spoke at the public,hearing;in,support of ,the relocated 218 by-pass and supported the University's position of;'relocating-the Route l interchange approximately, 3/4 of a mile northwesterly.;; The alignment of this proposed facility is shown as Attachment 3 -to this Memorandum. JulX 7, 1967; A letter.was.sent to Mr. Given. from Mr. Gunnerson indicating that e Iowa State H:* with the City of Iowa City's and:the'University's positions as set forth in the public hearing on August, 11,1966, that the -intersection of.the new 218 and Iowa 1 should be relocated northwesterly.approximately`3/4 of a mile. October 17,`1968 --A letter was written to Mr. Van Snyder, District Engineer, from.Mr. Frank Smiley,.'then City Manager;of.the City of Iowa City, indicating: concurrence with?the detail plans -for the realignment of Highway 1 as well as the new facility 6f.218 with the exception of a request that the inter- section of Highway; l and old -:218 be renovated under the project. j i February .4, 1969 `:The City'of`Iowa Cityby Resolution 1075 approved the j realignment of 218 as.,well.as'the realignment of Route 1. This realignment of 218 included;an interchange with Routed as well as an interchange with Melrose Avenue. 1 February 30 1971,-,A public hearing.was held on the 518 Freeway and Iowa No. I improvements known as Project F=518-4. This project basically incorporated the requests 4hich the.. City of.Iowa,City:and the University had made in 1966 with respect.to relocating the intersection;of 518 and No. 1 northwesterly approximately 3/4 of a`mile'. 518 was proposed as a four lane divided pavement built to Class l' --freeway standards:. Class 1 highways are fully controlled access ,highways with access via interchanges only. It was proposed that 518 would have',interchanges at the present218, relocated Iowa 1, Melrose Avenue, and the interchange with 'I-80 and 380 Iowa No. l was proposed as a 24 foot pavement with 10 foot. .-shoulders' from-, the, westerly_ beginning of the project to the, 518`interchange: Iowa No. ',1 was 'then to be constructed as a four lane divided.pavement;'_from the,interchangge'.to just west of Miller Avenue where it would taper to a 53.foot:back-to-back curb pavement width with a six foot raised median. During thispublic hearing Mr. Frank Smiley presentic a letter from the 11 Mayor of Iowa City,.Mr; Loren.Hickerson, supporting the project and"requesting,that`as an additional construction project the inter-� section of Highway 218, 1 -and 6 be improved;: Considerable opposition was voiced .to this project;by property owners and special interest groups, particularly.:with-respect ;to the location of 518 adjacent to the Indian k 1 _ _ -.. ._. � .. c � �. Ai`� t _ l_ ♦ ;Lca f.I JW .�t1 r �- i. 1:. 3 ' ® Lookout area. The alignment proposed under this public hearing is shown as Attachment 4 to this Memorandum.' April 19, 1971 -IMr. Van;Snyder, -the District Engineer for the Iowa State Highway:Commission, wrote a'letter,to Dr. Bonfiglio in his capacity as 'of Chairman the PolicyZC,ommittee of the,.Johnson County Regional Planning Commission indicating that by relocating:the intersection of 1 and 518 3/4 of a mile iorth of the existing location of Route 1, approximately 400 vehicles per day would be drawn away from the Melrose Avenue facility. Mr. Snyder also took sharp exception to`'a'statement by the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission -,relative:to public input during the review process of this proposed facility._ Mr. ;Snyderpointed out meetings held in 1962 with Planning arid Zoning as well``as other Iowa City and County officials'-to-Identify the needs for this facility. Additionally, Mr. Snyder reiterated•the various.public hearings which have been held con- cerning the corridor: studies`as well 'as the public hearings held on the specific.'design concept.' September 1701971;- A letter`was•written,to''Mr. Dennis Kraft in his capacity, as Chairman ;of'the._Technical Committee of the, Johnson County Regional Planning- Commission 'from Mr. Humphrey of the Iowa State Highway Commission'-indicating; that., a. new hearing'-"was to be scheduled for the purposes of presenting an interchange.proposal'at present Iowa 1 and the proposed 518 freeway rather than relocating-Iowa 1. `Mr. Humphrey pointed out that during the detail design it was discovered that approximately ® $322,000 would be added"to the relocated No. 'l as a result of the need for relocating-gas lines,in`the-proposed'.corridor. Auz2st 11,.1972 - A-letter was written to the Iowa State Highway Commission from Mr. Ray Mossman of theAniversity 'of•Iowa indicating that the University"of Iowa no longer planned tlie'addition of'-married students' housing of dormitories a to ng:Melrose'Avenue.: Mr. Mossman indicated that the University felt that:the diversion of the 420 cars per day from the Melrose:-Avenue facility;,was not sufficient to justify the expenditure of the $322;000 required for the'intersection of the relocated Route 1 with 518. Therefore, the.University withdrew,.1ts support of the relocated Route 1 and indicated that'the University would support the proposal for the existing alignment: August 17, 1972 - A public hearing was he.ld'on Project FU-1-4 which was the reconstruction of Highway 1 on-the existing alignment. Under this project Iowa No.-':`l would be'constructed as a'four lane divided highway the length of :the project with an ;interchange at the proposed 518 freeway. During this public hearing the-City of-Iowa City submitted a letter signed by Ray S.; Wells, .City Manager;.indicating its support of the project. This letter indicated that it.'was`°important ,to Aeep in mind that the University of Iowa has a state-wide:'medical complexon the west side campus which requires quick and easy,. access•to ;the -,University Hospitals. The letter further stated that it'could`best be achieved through convenient access from Melrose.Avenue and•that the location of ,.the interchange of Highway No. 1 and Freeway-518 would not have a significant'effect on the traffic of Melrose-Avenue. The ,alignment considered under this public hearing S yY. l-�sf r.. S� ^3 i Z•F' S f N a IT c 4 is included as Attachment 5 to this:Memorandum. i It is my understanding that -both the 518 and the Route 1 improvements have been held up as<the f c result oourt'action•based on the environmental impact statements for these projects. It-is'further_•my understanding that in light of the lawsuits -which have been filed -the Iowa State Highway Commission is currently studying the feasibility of both projects. I Specifically with respect to the,Melrose Avenue intersection, it should be noted that:since-1962 all 'of he'plans.have included an interchange with Melrose.Avenue so that the 518 facility would -fulfill its function of diverting traffic away from the -Highway .6 and 218 :;facility which travels through the City of.Iowa City.' -.Eliminating the.intersection would conceivably jeopardize the utility of the 51& by-pass in -that it 'would become a facility strictly for through _traffic wishing:to bypass the'City of Iowa City. Internal-external trips as well as external-internal trips would, in all probability utilize the i existing alignment of -`218 and 6 which would result in maintenance of the existing traffic levels through the City of Iowa City. If the City.of Iowa City determines that it is in the best interest of the City to eliminate the interchange at•Melrose Avenue with 518, it would be my suggestion that we shoul& immediately contact Mr. Bob Humphreys of the Iowa State Highway_Commissiop so that this input could be included in the Highway Commission's analysis. of the user benefits of these two proposed facilities. The Iowa"Highway Commission could, in all probability, provide the City of Iowa City with projected traffic data:if this interchange with Melrose Avenue and 518 is a. -variable. I trust'this Memorandum will, be sufficient to aid you in your discussions with the appropriate' City officials and should you wish to discuss this matter at further :length or in greater detail 'piease'don't hesitate to contact me. 1 �8 I v D H i OD Z 3 O 2 Z � 1 rri n o D G-) M i �8 I v D H i OD Z 3 O 2 Z � 1 rri n o D G-) M O D Z u O cn OD x m D m O O m 0 0 U_) G) z _ - L i ,..:.� 1 -� }- r s 3if to ;.. :. �. a _.-_.• 1 �- c -I ,Nr a V r .ij' r'F �`� � �;K J I: �vt � ti.. � V ♦ � .; 3^i ,'-• V L+ .CD a. rT H I 0 D Z 0 H OD O b �\ 1 I Q P I I ha OW I , cw rc - a�rv[ n '.

Josten, Executive Director F - SUBJECT: LEGISLATIVE POLICY_- 1975 Enclosed is the first draft'of a League legislative policy statement for 1975 and an outline of:the`maior elements which. could be contained in any bill dealing with local option tax or state assistance. This material has been developed.:by th'e League staff at the request of the Large Cities Section of the League which met in Ames on August 10th. The enclosedpolicy statement 'is.by* no -means a firm position of the League. Additions, deletions, and -recommendations should be made. For example, there have been suggestions that we delete the provision calling for removal of the.'property,tax limitations and also a suggestion that we include a statement dealing'wi.th a state-wide housing finance agency. Also included for review is ., -a list -of major elements which should be considered in any -bill dealing with increased taxing authority or state assistance for 'cities and:_towns._'-These various.points were raised at the Ames.meeting, and it was suggested.that mayors and councils have the opportunity to review each of the;points`and take a position on each one. In order to prepare for the September 20th Large Cities meeting in Sioux City, I would appreciate having at leastfa general reaction on these state- ments from you and your council as soon as possible. In.addition, please return the enclosed.questionnaire to me.no later than September 13. We will then be able to summarize the feelings'of the group for presentation to you. Finally, you could contribute immeasurablly to our task if, during the next month, you could talk with`your own state egislators, and candidates, about the League policy.statements..

The cities of,Iowa share i-natid' sense 1f crisis that is centered in the urban community and which affects the'well -being of over two million people in this,.state. Municipal off icialswho, as the first-line:of responsible government, must act and must `respond `;to local demands, areibeing frustrated by the continual erosion of local governmental.freedom'and powers and -by the unnecessary limita- tions not only at the national'but.at the statelevel of government. The increasing demands on municipal government to provide more facilities and services essential'to the economic well.-being.of three out of four Iowans must be recognized by,the;elected officials in -Des Moines and Washington. The city and town officials of Iowa and their constituents realize that the brunt of the burden. is theirs. .They .are not=asking, nor do they want, either state or federal `governments•to-do the fob for them. They simply ask for the power and resources to which they are reasonably.'entitled and the sensible freedom in which to; exercise their local initiative without paternalistic road blocks. The league of. Iowa Municipalities - a.voluntary non-profit association of Iowa cities and towns has prepared-and,presents'.this statement of legislative policy in recognition'of ;the' needs,of'these;people andasa vehicle through which municipal officials throughout'the�state can define .their mutual problems and develop positive_.poli.cies and proposals for their- solution. BASIC PHILOSOPHY The League of Iowa Municipalities reaffirms its _basic philosophy that the level of government which`is.closest to'the people should be utilized to the maximum degree possible consistent with national and statewide policies in serving those people; that `'cooperative intergovernmental agreements and action between units and levels of government should be encouraged to provide economical services where appropriate;'that the state government must -provide local government with the flexibility in matters offormal,;. erations1`.and finance necessary to perform effectively, and conversely,must refrain from unnecessarily limiting local govern- mental freedom and powers.or dictating"IocaI policies, priorities or actions. LEGISLATIVE POLICIES 1. HOME RULE. The adopti,on.of the new;city code in 1972 was a landmark legislative action which substantially>reinforced.the philosophy of self-determination tand has made possible -the use of.;modern=day management and problem solving techniques in identifying and dealing with the„ problems';'confronting people in -Iowa cities and towns. After two years of practical application. by over 400 cities and towns certain technical imperfections have..arisen which require corrective amendments. i • WE WOULD THEREFORI Ito 0 SK THAT:CONSIDE BE GIVEN TO THAT LEGISLA- TION WHICH:WILL ADDRESS,ITSELF TO"THOSE.AREAS OF:HOME`RULE IN NEED OF CORRECTION, THUS'''=PERFECTING :THE HOME.RULE CONCEPT IN THE EXERCISE OF LOCAL POWERS. FURTHER, WE CALL ON.:ALL LOCAL AND STATE OFFICIALS TO CONTINUE TO RESIST THE_:TEMPTATION OF PRIOR'YEARS TO ENCROACH UPON OR LIMIT THE RIGHT OF SELF-DETERMINATION GRANTED T0`THE PEOPLE BY THE CONSTITUTION AND H.F. 574. 2. FINANCING,MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT. Municipalities today face complex financial difficulties.caused;by a fiscal' *imbalance in our state and federal system. Fiscal resources continue to.fall';shor,t'of expenditure demands. The cities and towns of Iowa face massive spending pressure: to provide needed services for the:majority of Iowans who.live in cities and towns, to meet service demands mandated by state government; and to replace obsolete capital facilities 'and equipment. Yet -it is',--'th'e'-cities and towns which have the greatest difficulty in raisi,ng.`�the;resources to. meet those needs. They are faced with"slow-down in -the growth of, or'an actual. decrease in, property tax bases; our ability to raise taxes is aimited.by`state.law; tax dollars are lost through tax exemptions mandated by"thellstatelegislature we must compete with. other governmental units for revenue;;.and our citizens are increasingly less willing to accept property tax increases ;Thus the cities and towns are unable to stretch their existing revenue sources to meet the cost of providing governmental services expected by the public. While general. revenue sharing and special purpose federal assistance to cities and towns has been,of-"welcome assistance over, th6 years, it has not,in light of continued stagnation of other-federa T categorical~:programs, been enough. The fiscal crisis in.Iowa's cities and; towns will not be met unless and until the state undertakes major ren6ai tion.`of the 'entire state -local fiscal system, and takes as necessary steps ;toward, this'.end the following: CONTINUATION AND ENLARGEMENT OF CHAPTER.405`, THE MUNICIPAL ASSISTANCE FUND CREATED BY THE `64TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY. IN ADDITION TO AND/OR IN LIEU OFA STATE REVENUE SHARING PLAN, THE STATE GOVERNMENT SHOULD ENACT LEGISLATION THAT WOULD ALLOW EACH CITY, TOWN, COUNTY OR REGION TODETERMINE-:THE REVENUE RAI,SING SYSTEM THAT BEST FITS ITS NEEDS AND,THE-:WISHES OF -THE PEOPLE;BY REMOVING THE PROPERTY TAX LIMITATIONS AND AUTHORIZING THE UTILIZATION:OF OTHER TAXING POWERS. WE ASK CONSIDERATION -THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BE REIMBURSED FOR THE AMOUNTS OP -TAX LOSS --:OF INSTANCES. OF MANDATORY TAX .EXEMPTIONS GRANTED TO INDIVIDUALS,AND,-INDUSTRY; RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO ERODE OUR NON PROPERTY 'TAX BASES; AND THE CORRECTION OF -THE GROSS.:INEQUITY OF THE:SHARING OF ROAD USE TAX MONEY BETWEEN CITIES AND TOWNS. THIS°ALONE IS THE:CLASSIC I LUSTRATION OF THE PITIFULLY SHORT'SHARE OF STATE REVENUES THE CITY DWELL8R RECEIVES ACROSS THE BOARD. ; quality of an ample supply ,or c i canwazer i s so; c i ose iy n nreu w uur- nea 1 ui, welfare and safety it is;the responsibility of,;all levels of government to act positively and improve it. =The Federal:Governments decision to allocate less than half the funds stipulated in the"Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 seriously jeopardizes the ability of local government to meet the legal requirements which are,being'mandated:from, both the state and federal level. WE COMMEND'THE`65TH-GENERAL ASSEMBLY FOR ITS,CONTINUATION OF STATE PARTICIPATION IN'A PROGRAM.VITAL,`TO ALL;IOWANS AND CALL UPON THE 66TH GENERAL'ASSEMBLY TO NOT.ONLY`CONTINUE THIS PROGRAM, BUT TO SUBSTANTIALLY EXPAND,IT FOR THOSE ELIGIBLE`.CITIES AND TOWNS. 4. LAND USE PLANNING. The overwhelming majority of land use decisions are primarily of local concern`.:for which institutional arrangements already exist. The primary; responsibility for land use policies and programs must remain with general'purpose'local governments.:'However, there is a growing recognition that our .nation's land is --.a scrace;resource which must be planned and managed accordingly.Decisions on,the and use of land are now recognized as..major'.forces shaping the future economic and social character of our communities, as' well as directing the:,quality`of their environment. Where land use are of more'thari;local;`-significance, cities and towns must be assured the primary role 'in,the decision-making and implementation process. For land uses of _more than :local.significance, a land use planning partner- ship among the various1evelspfJ government should be developed which allows federal, state and localgovernments"to.represent;:their respective constituencies without unnecessari'.ly usurping;powers needed.at the local level. Therefore, the following key principles should be embodied in the development of land use planning legislation: A REQUIREMENT THAT ,LOCALLY ELECTED OFFICIALS :OF CITIES AND TOWNS HAVE A MAJOR ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF LAND USE.POLICIES, CRITERIA AND PLANS; OPPORTUNITIES FOR CITIES AND TOWNS TO DEVELOP RESPONSIBLE LAND USE PLANS BY THEMSELVES, WITHIN THECONTEXT OF THE GENERAL STATE AND REGIONAL GOALS: ENCOURAGEMENT OF LOCAL OFFICIALS OF CITIES;AND.TOWNS TO UTILIZE REGIONAL PLANNING ORGANIZATIONS COMPOSED OF REPRESENTATIVES OF GENERAL PURPOSE LOCAL GOVERNMENT FOR COOPERATIVE AREA=WIDE PLANNING WHICH CANNOT BE MADE BY THE INDIVIDUAL JURISDICTIONS;'AND,` ORIGINAL AND_CONTINUING ANNUAL.COMPENSATION BY THE STATE -LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WHICH WILL SUFFER REVENUE LOSSES BECAUSE OF LAND USE POLICIES IMPOSED FROM A HIGHER LEVEL. C E 5. LOCAL.GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE General purpose local units of govern- cterrt - municipalities and counties have-demonstrated'their'ability to develop and implement policies that service their own -constituencies and to serve as the primary delivery system for .an increasing numbe-r`of state -.wide programs as well. This dual role serves the;public`will,.since:any`.governmental policy or program to be effective has'`to.function in aframework 'where ramifications are under- stood and alternatives weighed. However, in the past, delegation of authority by the state legislature for certain specialized functions and programs have not been accompanied by a careful assessment -of the operational`government framework. Authority has been delegated to local units of government that -are not capable,- either financially or administratively, of discharging. -it. Historically,; municipal and county officials have shared administrative responsibilities assigned -by thelegi,slatur.e andhave cooperated in providing certain local services. These cooperative efforts have generally resulted in more effective program administration as well,as:more efficient use of local funds. WE WOULD THEREFORE URGE THAT.THE LEGISLATURE;. ENCOURAGE LOCAL PARTNER- SHIP, WHERE `APPROPRIATE; BY PROVIDING FINANCIAL INCENTIVES FOR COOPERATIVE COUNTY AND MUNICIPAL.PROGRAM PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION. i. 6. PERSONNEL - AND PENSIONS. A city's personnel management system must be responsive to the_needs.,of the city.and to the elected or appointed leadership 01' that city. At'the.aame.time it should embody he principles of merit and provide adequate safeguards for.'protection of`employee rights. It must be structured to insure.that`undue_preference`is-not afforded to selected.persons and to insure that"equal, opportunity'`for employment, promotion and total compensation is open toaall individuals on the`same basis. The determination of the compensation to be provided'::al,l'city.employees including both wages and fringe benefits, is rightfully a.matter,of local determination. WE URGE THE"GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO ENACT .LEGISLATION WHICH WILL GRANT TO EACH COMMUNITY THE RIGHT TO.DETERMINE ANT ADDITIONAL OR `'IMPROVED RETIRE- MENT, PENSION AND DISABILITY BENEFIT PROGRAMS APPLICABLE TO LOCAL EMPLOYEES AND FURTHER REQUESTS: THAT'-THE':L EGISLATURE REFRAIN FROM MANDATING PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT AND;SPECIAL'PENSION AND-.DISABIL`ITY,.BENEFITS FOR CERTAIN EMPLOYEES. 7. GENERAL LEGISLATION. Uniform Bidding Procedures Legislation designed to establish new bidding procedures, not -only for state agenc es,'but for political subdivisions such as cities, towns, °counties and school boards was discussed in the Senate Appropriations Committee in 1974: This legislation, in large parIt,.was totally unacceptable, not only because it is a total negation..of the principle of home 'rule; for which many of us fought for many years, but a 1. total disregard for the" -'many outstanding purchasing depart- ments which our :cities have established :over the years.

Street and alley Vacations essential for implementation of the R-14 Urban Renewal plan. STAFF In order to proceed with ANALYSIS: the,urban renewal development program, certain street and alleyvacations are necessary. The plat attached hereto illustrates their.location. Item V-7403 is the proposed vacation:of an east -west alley in Block 64 of the Original Town of,''Iowa'City bounded by Dubuque, College, Linn and Burlington Streets. The vacation of this alley is necessary for the construction of a`:temporary,parking of and the later proposed construction`' of a"hotel and`__parking facility within said block. Items V-7404 and V-7405 are the-"proposed'vacations of the east - west alleys in Blocks:83 and 84;'of the'Original Town of Iowa City •bounded by Capitol, Clinton, Washington and Burlington Streets. Vacation of these alleys is .essential to'the proposed construction of a shopping 'center :within -.said blocks. Item V-7406.is-the proposed.vacatiori of Capitol Street from the south -boundary of Burlington Street to the north.boundary of Court Street.` Vacation of the street-; is proposed for the development of a multifamily complex onpart of.,the'right-of-way. The vacation -of these=;public rights-of-way is part of an overall plan previously; approvedby the City for -redevelopment of the downtown area.' The only problem'-inherent'with the: vacation of these areas is th&.existence of:utilities.within them necessitating the retention of public utility.easementsuntil the utilities have been either relocated;or terminated.:' Since Capitol Street provides a major means of`access to'a few private properties, its right- of-way should not be.:_vacated'until.after,;said private properties have been acquired by the City -as proposed. STAFF_ It':is the staff's recommendation RECOMMENDATION:that: (1) .the east -west alleys in Blocks 64, 83, and 84 of the.Original Town of Iowa City be vacated 'subje.ct to theretention-;of a`, utility easement over said ®alleys and (2) Capitol Street be vacated`subject to (a) the acquisition of all. private .proper ty:with:primary access to Capitol Street and (b) the..retention'of a utility easement over part of J, f y' l to ...� -rte ti rr i »i,3 e. s'S sa y3ti t L 4's*!.hy �. t Y" J 1 iS 4 t` T• N T CXR i S T.
