Item No. 21 - REPORT ON TRAFFIC SIGNALIZATION WARRANT STUDIES T VARIOUS INTERSECTIONS
IN THE CITY OF IOWA CITY.
Comment: The Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works has completed
warrant studies at various intersections within the City of Iowa City.
The following is a synopsis of these studies.
If
a) . First Avenue and Lower Muscatine 0'r -e'
A 16 -hour manual count indicates that the minimum traffic volume
warrant.for traffic signals is met at this intersection. Addition-
ally, the traffic accident experience warrant is just short of
meeting the requirements.for the installation of traffic signals.
It is recommended that traffic signals be installed at this
intersection and that a four-way stop sign be authorized until
such time as the signals are placed in operation.
b) Mall Drive and Lower Muscatine Avenue
The existing traffic volumes at this intersection fall short of
meeting signalization warrants; however, they do continue to
meet the four-way stop warrant. It is recommended that the
four-way stop signs remain at this intersection and a new count
be taken during the Spring of 1975.
c) Highway #6 By -Pass and Sycamore Street
The Iowa State Highway Commission authorized the installation of
traffic signals at First AVenue and #6 By -Pass on the condition
that a warrant study would be conducted at Sycamore and #6 By -Pass
after the traffic situation had stabilized. This intersection
continues to meet the minimum traffic volume warrants for traffic
signals and it is recommended that the staff be authorized to
forward this information to the Iowa State Highway Commission
along with an application for a permit to install traffic signals
on a permanent basis.
d) Highway #6 By -Pass and Fairmeadows Boulevard /�i c<<�.
• This intersection meets the minimum traffic volume warrants for
the installation of traffic signals and, in addition, meets the

traffic accident warrant. It is recommended that the staff
be authorized to forward this information to the Iowa State
Highway Commission along with an application for a permit to
install traffic signals at this location.
e) Dodge Street and College Street - LLr
The counts at this intersection indicate that neither the traffic
signal warrants nor the four-way stop warrants are met. The
existing signal installation, `_herefore, does not meet the warrants,

Dear Dr. Colby:
October 9, 1974
CIVIC CENTER, 410 E. WASHINGTON ST.
IOWA CITY, IOWA 52240
319-354-1800
I am in receipt of a letter signed by several dozen residents
of the East Court Street area where your house is located. I also
notice your name on the letter, and therefore, I am addressing
this communication to you in hopes that you will make its con-
tents known to all interested parties. Please feel free to xerox
or duplicate this letter in any way you see fit.
We will be running radar in this area at frequent intervals as
we have been attempting to do in the past. You must understand,
however, that we have 24 sq. miles of territory to patrol and
6-8 uniformed officers at best to cover this territory on any
one shift. We are hard put to be every place at once. Further-
more, while your statement may be 100% correct about the percentage
of vehicles exceeding 25 miles per hour (50%) and 35 miles per
hour (5-15%), this does not mean that we can ticket these vehicles.
The reason for that is that we have received instructions from
Judge Joseph Thornton, that speeding tickets should not be
initiated on anyone who does not exceed the speed limit by at
least 11 miles per hour.
I think you will have to admit that this court order has a strong
reason behind it. Many of us -slightly exceed the limit without
realizing it. A certain buffer has to be considered, since if we
would not do so, we would be ticketing people for 26 to 27 miles
per hour. The question of course, is what is a reasonable buffer?
The Judge in charge of such cases has stated his opinion.
We will do everything in our power to satisfy your requirement for
safety on the streets.
I think you will note more radar in this area in the future.
S iffierely,
David G. tpstein

You will be interested in the radar check we took yesterday
in the 1100 block of East Court Street during the morning
from 7:50 to 8:30 and afternoon shift from 4:30 to 5:30.
We ticketed a total of 5 cars going over 35 miler per hour,
which, as I explained, is our guideline. Admittedly, there
were many cars over 25 miles per hour. To be exact, in the
afternoon we clocked 127 cars at over 25 miles per hour but
under 36 miles per hour.
As I stated before, a, buffer seems practical since if we did
not have a buffer to operate with, all persons, even those
doing 26 miles an hour would be ticketed. I don't think the
courts would stand for such a procedure.

1. PETITION
We the undersigned, residents of East Court Street, living on that
portion of the street between Sunmiit St.7 and Iruscatine Ave., do request the
City Council of Iowa City to install stop signs on East Court Street midway
between Summit St. and Muscatine Ave. We further request that a pedestrian
crosswalk be incorporated at this point. In addition, we ask that stop
signs be placed on Oakland -Ave., Grarnt and Clark streets where they intersect
with East Court Street.
We ask these additions to traffic control measures for these reasons:
1) At the present time much of the traffic on this portion of East Court
Street travels faster than 25 24PH and approximately 5-15% of the traffic exceeds
35 14PH in speed. This is a definite and constant safety hazard to our children,
cyclists and pedestrians.
2) Police measures can only inhibit and not stop these ongoing traffic
violations. Traffic control measures ;are the only permanent answer to our
problem.
3) East Court Street is an active residential area with many children.
Five families with young children have moved into the area within the past
few months, increasing the number of children.
4) Noise from speeding vehicles is a constant aggravation to residents.
5) Installing such controls will not alter overall traffic patterns in
the city.
6) Making our street safer .will add to the historic and personal value
of a neighborhood filled with rich traditions and ride

To the honorable Iowa City Council,
On behalf of my 456 friends and neighbors who signed this petition I
would like to read to you our statement.
We. the undersigned. petition the City Council, the City Mamager,
the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the Parks and Recreation
Commission to provide acquisition of such land for a north-east
park as described in the city staff neighborhood study.
Our area, bounded on the east and west by First Street and Scott Blvd.
and on the north and south by Rochester Ave. and Court Street,is a rapidly
growing one. At present plans to plat the last major tract of land are before
you. This tract, bordered by Pat. Vernon, Washington and Westminster Streets,
was suggested in your city staff study of April 1974 as a possible park site.
The other and only alternative site has been rejected by you.
Currently we have no park in our area. The above mentioned tract would
meet the criteria of the city neighborhood study that it be within one-half
mile of all individuals in the area and that its land be able to provide both
passive and active recreation. We understand that $70,000 has been alotted
in the Capital Improvement budget of 1976 for purchase of land in Northeast
Iowa City.
Our urgent plea is that you purchase now a portion of the only centrally
located land. Land will never be cheaper. Any delay on your part will mean
that a future land purchase will be on the periphery of our neighborhood.
Many of us feel a responsibility in helping to shape our new neighborhood.
Our children now play football in the streets. We yearn for a green field
where they can play organized sports with friends. And our two churches could
Quite happily use a neighborhood park. Please, won't you help us save some
open space in our midst?

Chairperson Phillip Jones introduced Mark Doolin, the newly appointed Human
Relations Coordinator, to the Commission members.
It was moved by Neuhauser and seconded by Means that the minutes of the
August 260 1974, meeting be approved as submitted. Motion passed by unani-
•
mous vote.
The Commission received the proposed Rules and Regulations of the Iowa Civil
Rights Commission on deferral to local Civil Rights or Human Rights Commissions
from Joseph Tate, Director of the Civil Rights Commission. The Chairman indi-
cated that Costantino and any other members interested would be attending a
Public Hearingon'this matter on Wednesday, October 91 1974. The Chairperson
also distributed from the Iowa Civil Bights Commission their Model Ordinance
for local Civil Rights Commissions. Chairperson Jones asked that the Complaint
Procedures Committee review this Model Ordinance and report back to the Commis-
sion.
Jones presented a draft procedure for investigating complaints filed against the
City of Iowa City. After discussion,the Commission requested that the Committee
redraft the procedure and make it consistent with the Human Relations Ordinance.
Concern was expressed that the proposed draft deviated from specific points of
the Ordinance at`times..
Jones reported that he wanted the Committees to begin meeting again and evaluate
what the had et to accomplish b the
what the had done so far this year. and. h y y P Y

end of the year.
Costantino requested that the 'Complaints Procedures Committee be contacted if
any of the Commission members had input regarding the Iowa Civil Rights Commis-
sion's proposed rules for deferral status. Some of the Commission members
expressed their belief that our Local Ordinance is stronger than the State's
and we shouldn't have.to use their.Model Ordinance to receive deferral status.
Another question which arose was whether or not the City could give the Human
Relations Commission subpoena powers.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTION TAKEN:
The Park and Recreation Ccumission met in -regular session on October 9, 1974
with Chairperson Fox presiding.
® Hebert moved and Sangster seconded that the minutes of the September 25, 1974
meeting be approved as written.
Mrs. James Cooper expressed her concern with the height requirement for swim-
ming lessons at the Iowa City Recreation Center. It was her opinion that the
C
•
height requirement was unfair. Bob Lee explained that the requirement was
a safety precaution. Joan Buxton and Bob.Lee were appointed to help
Mrs. Cooper look into the rules regarding the requirement and to gather
citizen reactions to the requirement.
Chairperson Fox read a letter from Dr. Melvin Marcus claiming that the
Recreation Center diving board was unsuitable for competitive diving. Bob
Lee responded that the board is safe although it needs repair and that the
parts needed for repair are on order.
Jim Sangster reported on the public meeting regarding the Housing and Can-
munity Development Act. The meeting was held to explain the Act and to
gather ideas about how it would be possible to get citizen input into City
projects. Sangster will continue to report on meetings pertaining to the
Housing and Community Development Act.
Chairperson Fox reported that the proposed Special Populations Involvement
program (S.P.I.) was approved by Council on October 8, 1974. The resched-
uled starting date for the program has been set for October 30, 1974.
June Davis, the head of Commission's Subcommittee on ASERP, reported that
an ASERP Steering Committee had been set up consisting of herself, Joan
Buxton, David Canpton, Sarah Fox, Virginia Hebert, Frank Lalor, Robin Powell,
Jean Spector, and Donald Tvedte. The first meeting will be held at 4 p.m.
on Monday, October 14, 1974 at 18 N. Mt. Vernon Drive.
The Gordon Russell property was discussed after an explanation of M1, M2,
and IP zoning presented by Staff. The following four points were discussed
relative to the property:
1. There is no pressure from park use to get the car crusher out
immediately, therefore, a delay is feasible.
2. Park property lies east of the north half of the Russell property.
3. A parcel indicated for acquisition in the 1973-77 C.I.P. lies
east of the south half of the Russell property.
4. Public property should be buffered from adjacent devaluating
and nuisance uses.
* Following discussion, Lindberg moved and Davis seconded that Commission
recommend that action on the annexation and rezoning of the Gordon Russell
property be delayed until provisions are made to provide suitable buffering
of parks and recreation areas frau adjacent uses. MOtion carried.
Concern was expressed on the need for the Zoning Code to include provisions
for buffering and screeningparks and recreation uses from possible neigh-
boring nuisnaces. Chairperson Fox was directed to write the Planning and
zoning Commission expressing this interest.
• * Lindberg reported on the Streb property proceedings. After discussion, it
was moved by Lindberg and seconded by Roegiers to reaffirm the Park and
Recreation Commission's motion of February 13, 1974 "that all zoning requests
relative to property fronting on the Iowa River be deferred until completion
of the Riverfront Plan.". Notion carried.
The City's proposed Comprehensive Plan was discussed along with what the
Commission felt to be the inadequate number of people on the Planning Staff
* to get so many studies done at one time. It was moved by Lindberg and
seconded by Powell that the Park and Recreation Commission strongly supports
the Planning and Zoning Commission's request that priority by given to the
Comprehensive Plan and further notes the need for immediate augmentation
of the Planning Staff. Notion carried.
Jim Roegiers reported on the Johnson County Regional Open Space Committee.
Three items were to be discussed at the Committee's October 9 meeting -
campgrounds in the N.E. part of Kent Park, funds for the restoration of the
Robert Lucas home, and funds from the State for bikeways. Commission ex-
pressed interest in the possibility of these funds being available for park
bikeways.
* Washington Park Addition, Part 9 was discussed by Commission. It was moved
by Buxton and seconded by Powell that the Park and Recreation Commission
recommend that Council delay approval of the preliminary plat for the
Washington Park Addition, Part 9 pending receipt by Commission of a Staff
proposal for acquisition of a Northeast Neighborhood Park. Motion carried.
® Commission discussed the C.I.P. Narrative Proposal forwarded by the Dir-
ector of Parks and Recreation. Concern was expressed on the high amount
designated for park studies and Staff, was asked to consider alternatives.
No formal action was taken.
* Buxton moved and Hebert seconded that Commission express its thanks and ac-
knowledge the gift to the Recreation Center swimming pool of a scoreboard
from the Skip Jensen Mermrial- Fund and instruct Staff to send a letter to
David Cannon and to Mrs. Viggo Jensen. Motion carried.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:35 p.m.

AN ANALYSIS OF INTERIM SOLUTIONS
TO THE
RALSTON CREEK FLOODING PROBLEM
A REPORT PREPARED AS REQUESTED
BY THE
IOWA CITY CITY COUNCIL
October 1, 1974
IOWA CITY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
October 11, 1974
ENGINEERS CLUB REPORT - 1952
In 1952 the Engineers Club of Iowa City prepared a report on the
Ralston Creek flooding problem. At the time of their study the total
drainage area of the creek was about 8 square miles, composed of approxi-
mately 6-1/2 square miles of rural type drainage and 1-1/2 square miles
of urban drainage.
Their report presented a map showing the alignment of Ralston Creek
in the early 1900's. It is interesting to note that at that time, the
eastern boundary of the urban area of Iowa City was First Avenue. The
report pointed out that Ralston Creek, prior to the development of the
Rundell Street Addition in the early 1900's, flowed in a wide loop between
the railroad tracks and Muscatine Avenue. When the Rundell tract was
subdivided in 1908, an alley was left between Grant and Rundell Streets
into which the creek was put through a dug channel. This left a low area
in the vicinity of Rundell and Center Streets. A map presented in the
1952 report shows the former creekbed passing through the intersection
of Center and Dearborn. The 1952 report stated that one of the causes of
rather serious flooding in the area of Center and Rundell and Center and
Dearborn hinges on the fact that this was a former streambed.
Previous Floods.- The report recounts the history of two extremely
damaging floods, one in 1942 and one in 1950. The 1942 flood was thought
to be a seven year flood, that is, on an average a flood of this magnitude
would occur about once in seven years.
The report's discussion of the flood damage is particularly enlightening
and will be quoted directly.
occasional action of a flood, hence they are not capable of carrying
the flood, which must perforce spill over the banks onto what is
generally designated as a flood plain. When Man persists in placing
his structures along this flood plain and does not at the same time
take steps to greatly enlarge the stream channel to carry flood flows,
or construct regulatory works upstream to reduce them, he will con-
tinually be in danger of having his property flooded. Such appears
to be the case on Ralston Creek. A plat of the Rundell Addition,
as it was laid out shows that the South Branch swung in a wide loop
to the east of its present location in the vicinity of Rundell and
Center Streets. When the area was platted and developed the stream
was moved to its present straightened channel, leaving a considerable
area of low ground in and around the old channel lower than the
hanks of the relocated channel. The present channel is inadequate to
carry floods of any size, partly due to bridge constrictions and
partly because of the fact that the channel is too small, is somewhat
crooked, and is rough, all of which decrease its flood -carrying
capacity. Whenever overflow occurs, the water seeks the flood plain,
causing material damage along that flood plain in the Rundell -Center
Street area just mentioned. Also, a short storm sewer joins a catch -
basin at the Rundell -Center Street intersection with the creek about
100 feet downstream from the Center Street bridge. When the creek
rises the water level becomes higher than the street surface and
flow from the creek to the street results."
-2-
The report then states recommendations -for relief and these are
presented in two parts; 1) A long range plan encompassing various methods
of relief ranging all the way from minor protective works to complete pro-
tection, and 2) A plan for immediate performance of needed works to remedy
Obvious faults such as constrictions, improper alignment, brush encroachment,
trash in waterway and the like as time and funds permit. The Engineers
Club of Iowa did not feel that the long range plan was within the scope of
their report; they did say that such a long range plan could be properly
prepared only after detailed surveys and studies and should be left to a
competent consulting engineer. Commenting on short range solutions, the
report goes, into detail concerning channel constrictions at the following
bridges. On the south branch they identify Muscatine Avenue and "E" Street,
7th Avenue Court, 6th Avenue, Sheridan Avenue, Center Avenue, Muscatine
Avenue and Court, and the College Street bridges. On the north branch
at that time there were no bridges except that on Rochester. On the main
stem of the creek the report states that there were 18 bridges over the
main stem and the report further identifies those which were grossly inadequate.
The ones they mention are Evans Street, Gilbert Street, and Prentiss Street.
The report narrates a description of channel improvements that can be made
which included deepening, widening and straightening and further states
that before extensive work is performed this work should be integrated.
Sewers - The report details problems with the sanitary sewers which
parallel the creek. During times of high water on Ralston Creek the sewers
become full and back up into basements. The report also examines storm
sewers and mentions the recurring problem in the Rundell Addition.
Solutions - The last two items in the report are examinations of
channel maintenance and restriction of land use. The report is summarized
-3-
"On the basis of the foregoing study, and after consultation with
persons familiar with the problem of flooding along Ralston Creek
and its two branches within the limits of Iowa City the committee
draws the following conclusions, with recommendations for their
accomplishment.
1. The damages caused by flooding can be materially reduced,
possibly eliminated. The method of accomplishment and, in particular,
its cost, can be determined only by a careful study by a competent
consulting engineer. It is recommended that the City initiate this
study without delay. The committee has not considered the possibilities
of diverting any part of the flow around the city or upstream storage.
1I. In the interval prior to completion of the above study the
present flood dangers can be materially lessened through the certain
remedial measures, which might become a part of the comprehensive
plan. These have been set forth in the foregoing discussion and
consist principally of channel improvements and the removal of
constrictions.
III. Any future building developments along the flood plain
of the stream system will be subject to the same dangers from flooding
as present developments and should be discouraged, if possible.
Consideration by the city of advising any person who in the future
requests permission to build along the creek, within what appears to
be the flood plain, of the ever present hazards of flooding should be
given.
MEN
IV. The sanitary sewer systems within the watersheds of the
North and South Branches are subject to serious overloading through
entry of storm waters. The entire system should be critically examined
and rebuilt where necessary, to eliminate storm waters and improve
flow capacity.
V. A
storm sewer
system to alleviate
local flooding within the
watershed
is indicated,
particularly in the
Rundell Addition. Plans
for this should be made before the center of Rundell Street is paved.
VI. Serious consideration should be given to the use of presently
undeveloped areas within the flood plains of the North and South
Branches as parkways for landscape planting and beautification.
VII. The design of future stream crossings, such as the one
contemplated on Parsons Street over the North Branch, should be
based on available hydrologic data.
obstruct the channel."
CORPS OF ENGINEERS REPORT - 1966
The bridge should in no way
A second report on the Ralston Creek problem was done by the U.S.
Army Engineer Corps in November of 1966. This was an extremely comprehensive
report and was based on voluminous field study. The report mentioned that
Ralston Creek serves as a storm runoff collector for a significant portion
of Iowa City. According to the Corps' report, a portion of the channel
extending from the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad tracks upstream
to Evans Street was improved in about 1932. This improvement consisted
of tile paved bottom and side slopes; however, severe deterioration of the
tile paving has occurred. The channel downstream from the railroad is
unlined; however, it is large enough to carry the same flow as the paved
-5-
section. Neither of the two sections.is capable of carrying the flow I
for floods equal to that resulting from the .July 1950 storm.
Upstream from Evans Street to the junction of the North and South
Branches and upstream along the South Branch to the east city limits the
existing channel is inadequate because of the narrow channel sections,
small bridge openings; some of which are askew to the channel, the large
number of sewer lines which cross above the existing streambed and excessive
use of the stream by residents for disposal of trash. The Corps mentions
that the North Branch channel from Rochester Avenue downstream to its junction
with the South Branch flows through a fairly deep valley at the Glendale
Avenue bridge. The channel is inadequate for major flows, especially in
the reach from the Glendale Avenue bridge to the junction where residential
lots are on a terrace or only slightly above the elevation of the top of the
bank and where there is a backwater effect from the South Branch.
Alternates Studied - The Corps considered several plans which included;
1) Upstream detention reservoirs, 2) Levees and concrete walls, 3) A diversion
channel, and 4) Channel improvements. The reservoirs alone were not considered
adequate since they would only control about 45% of the watershed and the
reservoir in the South Branch would control a very small percentage of that
drainage area, therefore requiring a great amount of work on the channels
themselves. The Corps felt the reservoirs would be costly and since
additional improvements would be required they concluded that such a plan
could not be economically justified on a benefit -cost basis. They next
investigated levees and concrete walls, which could confine flood flows to
the stream channels. Unfortunately, the levees would require the relocation
of many buildings and by confining and raising flood profiles would require
the ramping of a number of streets and railroad crossings. It was determined
They next
invesii};aiv(i diversion of part of the flood ('lows into adjacent watersheds;
however-, no plan of diversion was found to be feasible on a benefit -cost
basis.
Conclusions - Of the various plans considered, channel improvement
appeared to be the most practicable and economic means of providing flood
protection along the creek. A plan utilizing an earth channel with a bottom
width of 40 feet on the main stem and 20 to 30 feet on the South Branch
and 50 feet wide on the North Branch appeared to be the best alternate.
The cost of the project based on 1966 prices would have been $2,132,000.
(lased on the Corps' projected benefits the benefit -cost ratio would have
been about 0.3, far below the 1.0 required. The Corps' conclusions read
as follows:
"Because of the excessive cost of each of the flood control measures
considered as compared to the benefits which would accrue thereto,
all of the plans studied were found to lack economic justification.
Flood plain zoning and floodproofing measures for existing
development along the flood plain are indicated. It is recommended
that no project for flood control on Ralston Creek and its tributaries,
Iowa City, Iowa, be adopted by the United States at this time."
The appendices of the Corps report presented detailed information
on runoff and stream flow data.
report will be listed:
Some pertinent observations from this
1. Design flows were based on a 17 year storm (corresponding to
the 1962 flood) 50 year storm and 100 year storm. Main stem
flows were 2,240 cfs, 3,750 cfs, and 5,200 cfs respectively.
-7-
For all design flows the inadequacy of the existing bridge openings
posed a major problem. Bridge replacement and enlargement problems
increased with larger flows.
2. A study was made to provide capacity for the 17 year frequency
flood flow which occurred in July of 1962. A flood flow to
bankfull stages within an enlarged earth channel selection was
considered. The design flow was 2,240 cfs just below the junction
of the North and South Branches of Ralston Creek. Replacement of
the inadequate bridges combined with varying channel sections of
the culvert held the average channel velocity to approximately
4 feet per second.
Also in the appendix, the report presents a profile map of the 1950
and the 1962 floods with the existing bridges plotted on the profile. It
is extremely interesting to note that several bridges were overtopped by
water from one to 8 feet. From the mouth of the creek to the centerline
of First Avenue a total of 19 bridges were overtopped by water. Ten bridges
were not overtopped.
SHIVE-HATTERY STUDY - 1969
The next study was a short one done by Shive-Hattery $ Associates in
1969. The specific purpose of this report was to aid in making design flow
decisions relating to modification of culverts at Burlington Street, Benton
Street and Kirkwood Avenue. The report summarized the problems with flow
carrying capacity as follows:
"The many natural man-made conditions which have a detrimental effect
on the capacity of Ralston Creek to carry high discharges posses=one
or all of the following characteristics. They reduce vertically and/or
we
Factors most commonly found are bridges, ice jams, debris jams, fills,
fences, sedimentation, vegetation, sharp bends in the channel, utility
lines which are suspended below bridges crossing the flood plain,
under water utility lines which cross on or above the channel bottom,
etc. The runoff yield is increased by decreasing the infiltration
rate available in the watershed. Typical factors which increase
runoff are the development of streets, parking lots, landfilling
rough areas, etc."
The report finally recommended not modifying the culverts at Burlington,
Benton and Kirkwood; however, it did recommend removing six other bridge
structures.
SCS STUDIES - 1971 $ 1972
Two short preliminary reports were done by the Soil Conservation
Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These were entitled, "Ralston
Creek Watershed Project Alternatives for Flood Reduction" and "Ralston Creek
Watershed Land Use, Land Capability and Conservation Needs". Only the
first report deals directly with the Ralston Creek flood problem. The
report outlines two alternatives to the problem. One alternative was to
do nothing. The other alternative was watershed treatment. The remainder
of the report deals with alternative No. 2, that is, watershed treatment.
This would be basically a soil conservation land treatment together with
impoundments to hold back flood water. Preliminary study indicates that a
storm of considerable size and intensity could be held within the existing
channel if dams were installed.
am
Federal Legislation - The Soil Conservation Service is able to offer '
assistance through the Small Watershed Project Puhlic Law 566. Watershed
projects under Public Law 566 enacted in 1954 are a combination of soil r.nd
water conservation measures on private and public land and dams and other
structural measures on upstream tributaries. The law is based on 1) Local
initiative and responsibility, 2) State review and approval of local proposals,
and 3) Federal technical and 'financial assistance. The federal government
gives technical help in planning and installing the project measures, pays
the full cost of building flood control measures and shares the cost of
other measures. Federal funds may be available at the rate of 5o% of cost
for land rights and certain basic facilities for recreation or fish and
wildlife purposes. At the present time the City has directed a request for
planning assistance to the Soil Conservation Service and detailed planning
will start upon receipt of updated topographic maps which the City is
presently preparing. These will be received by the Soil Conservation
Service about March of 1975.
The Corps of Engineers has indicated they may also be able to participate
in a study and possible funding of the diversion tunnel; however, with the
information presently available they cannot commit themselves to the project.
Upon request of the City they will do a reconnaissance report and if this
should show the diversion tunnel has a benefit -cost ratio greater than one
they will proceed with a detailed project report in conjunction with the
Soil Conservation Service. Estimated time of completion for the two reports
previously mentioned is 18 months.
The City, at this stage, has made contact with the Corps concerning
these reports to further explore Corps participation.

IOWA NATURAL
RESOURCES
COUNCIL
- 1972
Ono of
the ]a test.'
studies
of Ralston Creek was done by the Iowa
Natural Resources Council in April of 1972. The main purpose of the report
was to designate flood plain areas, a floodway area and give elevations above
which all new structures should be built in order to prevent flooding. As
part of this report several studies were conducted to determine the water
elevation all along the creek for any given rainstorm. Essentially the
Resources Council studied three floods, a 3 year flood, a 20 year flood
and a 100 year flood. It is interesting to know that even with a three
year flood one of the bridges along the main stem becomes inundated and with
a 20 year flood several bridges become inundated and back water onto the
flood plain. Discussion with the Iowa Natural Resources Council concerning
the benefits of cleaning the channel itself without any major bridge removals
and/or reconstruction projects revealed that the creek level in the down-
stream portion of the creek might possibly drop one to two inches as a
result of channel cleaning alone. Even this is doubtful in their opinion
since it is the bridges that are creating the main restriction to the flow
through the stream.
SCS REPORT - 1972
One final report done on the Ralston Creek Watershed by the Soil
Conservation Service was completed in October of 1972. Their investigation
was done to determine the downstream effect of two dams, one on the north
branch upstream of Rochester Avenue and one on the south branch east of the
city limits. It was determined that the two dams together would decrease
the frequency of flooding in the downtown area from once in five years to
once in ten years. This was not considered a satisfactory level of protection
-11-
because of developments in the flood plain area.
They also pointed out that
additional protection could be provided by diverting the flood waters around
the damage centers. This would be done by a diversion tunnel running beneath
Kirkwood Avenue and approximately 5,000 feet in length. This would then
mean that with the dams and the diversion tunnel, approximately 89% of the
drainage area would be controlled. Combination of the two dams and the diversion
tunnel would provide protection to the downtown area from a flood that
could be expected once in 100 years. Preliminary cost estimates for the
two dams including easements and rights-of-way was $750,000. The diversion
tunnel was estimated to cost 1.5 million dollars. In addition, another
dam should be added on a tributary of the south branch at the city limits.
With three dams and a diversion tunnel it was estimated that $3 million
would be needed. This was exclusive of operation and maintenance costs
after construction.
-12-
It seems clear from the reports available that the present flooding
is the result of factors which have developed over a period of time and
which are not easily solved. Increasing urbanization in the east end of
town has certainly contributed to the problem; however, it should be pointed
out that flooding occurred as long ago as 1932, 1941 and 1950. Floods
have become more frequent on the watershed occurring in 1956, 1962, 1965,
1967 and 1972.
It would be correct to say that the increasing urbanization of the east
end of town has increased the severity of these floods; however, it would
he incorrect to say that this is the total cause of the additional flooding.
Rainstorm occurrence is a random occurrence and it should be made clear
that a five year storm or 10 year storm mentioned earlier in this report
does not occur regularly once every five years and once every 10 years.
These storms come in a random sequence and a five year storm one week may
be followed by a five year storm the following week in the same year. To
date, the worst storm on the Ralston Creek watershed appears to have been a
25 year storm; however, there is absolutely no guarantee that the 100 year
storm will not occur tomorrow.
The second major cause of flooding as shown in the reports is the
inadequacy of the channel and bridges. The channel itself might be equated
with a garden hose and the bridges equated with kinks in the garden hose.
At the present time the creek is inadequate to carry an appreciable storm
and many of the bridges are totally inadequate to carry even a small rain-
storm. One cannot help but draw the conclusion that the solution to Ralston
Creek's flooding will not be easy nor cheap. Removing some of the more
-13-
i
Rebuilding
some bridges would help. Detention dams on the upper watershed would help
and a diversion tunnel would obviously help. As mentioned earlier in the
report, an estimate of an optimum solution utilizing dams and a diversion
tunnel would cost $3 million and this cost could easily double as detailed
plans are prepared. The very cheapest interim solution,assuming cooperation
could be obtained from all parties concerned, might involve removal of
seven or eight of the worst bridges and widening and cleaning of the waterway.
This type of activity on the creek from the junction of the North and South
creek to the mouth of the Iowa River cannot be easily estimated; however, a
rough figure might be $100,000 to dredge the creek from the mouth of the
creek to the junction of the North and South branches. Concerning bridge
removals, one of the previous reports recommended that 14 bridges be rebuilt
and 5 bridges removed along the main stem of the creek to handle a 50 year
storm.
To handle a 50 year storm on the north branch all bridges would have
to be rebuilt and to handle a 50 year storm within the study area on the
south branch all bridges would have to be rebuilt with the exceptions of
Meadow Street and Muscatine Avenue. For the 17 year storm the situation
was studied only from the mouth of the creek to College Street, but in that
reach, one bridge would have to be rebuilt and two bridges would have to be
removed.
Sanitary sewers throughout the flood plain are also creating problems
by backing up into basements. Substantial portions of the sewer have been
rebuilt in the last ten years. In 1965, the main trunk sewer from Scott
Boulevard along the creek to Rundell then north on Rundell to Iowa Avenue
was rebuilt. Rebuilding of these sewers has had some positive effect;
-14-
the sewer lines from several places such as through joints in the sewer
itself, through manhole lids, through house and building roof drains connected
directly to the sanitary sewer and through foundation drains around basements
hooked directly to the sanitary sewer.
Federal funds are available to rebuild sanitary sewers, but extensive
studies must be done to justify to the Environmental Protection Agency that
this is the most cost effective solution. If the cause of overloading of
the sewer lines is deteriorated sewer lines it is possible to receive funding
through the EPA. Unfortunately, this is not a quick process and it is
anticipated that a study of this type would take approximately a year.
If the project were approved, funds would have to be obtained for the design
and construction of the sewer. This is not to imply that it cannot be done;
but it should be recognized that it is a lengthy process, probably 3 to 5 years
in length.

There are many frustrations in dealing with the Ralston Creek flooding
problem. To the casual observer the solution seems obvious; that is, clean
the creek. A more detailed study shows that the bridges are also a problem;
therefore, a solution would seem to be rip out or rebuild the bridges.
The question then becomes which bridges to rip out or rebuild. For instance,
if ten of the bridges are rebuilt to handle a 50 year storm and one bridge
is left in that will retard the 5 year storm, little would be accomplished.
It is simply impossible at this point in time to make quick, rational
decisions regarding the most beneficial measures to be taken on the creek.
Even the most hastily thrown together proposal is going to require several
months of study and, of course, a long range solution to the problem is
going to require years.
It is estimated that a long range solution involving dams and a
diversion tunnel will take from eight to ten years to complete. This is
indeed a long time, but one could consider that if a solution had been
started back in 1952 when one of the first reports was done on this problem,
Iowa City would have had the benefit of the improvement by at least 1962.
The flooding on the creek is a significant problem and conceivably, if a
50 or 100 year storm should strike in the next few years, the effects would
truly affect almost everyone in town.
and the process should be started now
We recommend that a solution be found
Any quick, easy solutions should be
investigated with careful and meticulous scrutiny to verify their validity.
Even if funds were unlimited and projects undertaken tomorrow, the
problem will not be solved unless the money is aimed toward a total solution.
It is simply impossible to justify the expenditure of several hundred thousand
-16-
The
17 year storms in 1962 and 1972 caused grave damage and difficulties to
residents along the flood plain of Ralston Creek. The 50 year storm would
make the previous flood seem minor by comparison. We must recommend a
solution that will eliminate problems caused by at least a 100 year storm;
therefore, we must recommend that extensive and exhaustive studies be
conducted.

IOWA CITY, IOWA 52240
319-354-1 B00
At a joint meeting of the Police and Fire Pension and Retirement Boards
held on September 5, 1974, the Trustees received the attached actuarial valuation
report. The report, prepared by George V. Stennes and Associates, the Board's
consulting actuaries, covers the period ending December 31, 1973. I have been
instructed by the Board to inform you that a substantial increase in the City's
contribution to the Retirement Systems should be expected.
The Board asked the actuaries to revise and refine several portions of the
report. As you are aware, you included a total of $209,323 in the 1974 Budget
for the Police and Fire Pension and Retirement contributions. This amount
represents a contribution rate of 17.83% and 19.40'/oof gross salaries for the
police and fire members respectively. The recommended contribution rates of
30.97% and 34.13% would have represented a contribution of $365,995 for the
1974 budget period if they had been in effect at the time.
The addendum dated September 30, 1974, reflects the revisions requested
by the Board. The recommended contribution rates are 24.04% and 26.95% for
police and fire members respectively. The Board felt it desirable that you
be informed of this situation since you are currently in the budget cycle.

Conclusion
Some of the information normally included in our reports is
not available for this report because it is our initial actuarial
valuation done for Iowa City and some of the information needed was
not available in the time span required to complete the report.
We like to include tables which show the actual number of new
entrants and decrements and trace the number of active and retired
lives from one year-end to the next. This provides information for
the board and also serves as a reference point in future years when
studies are being made on which to base actuarial valuation assump-
tions.

The amounts shown under monthly benefits are the adjusted amounts payable
as of July 1, 1974. These were adjusted back to December 31, 1973 for valua-
tion purposes. In addition, there are 9 Hein children receiving monthly beneFits
of $51.86 per month for each child and 4 Wehmeyer children receiving monthly
benefits of $49.42 per month for each child.
REVIEW OF RECORDS
We reviewed your worksheets for the adjustments of the retired life benefits
for July 1, 1974 payments. Any minor discrepancies we found have been reconciled
with June Higdon.
The sum of the accumulated contributions as recorded by you on the valuation
cards furnished is $138,292.08 for the police and $163,290.63 for the fire. These,
of course, are suppose to agree with the balances in the Annuity Savings Fund as
provided by Chapter 411. Presently we do not have the account balances with which
to verify these two figures.
The annuity and pension benefits presently payable to retired members
apparently have not been kept separate except in cases that involved disability
retirement and where accumulated contributions have been refunded. Chapter 411
provides for this separation in the total retirement benefit payable.
-2-
The separation is not needed in order to arrive at the July 1 adjust-
ment each year but since the pensionbenefit is subject to readjustment
each year it is prudent to set up a reserve that attempts to take account
of the expected annual adjustment.in accordance with the salary scale assump-
tion used in the valuation of active lives. This is best accomplished by
recording the portion of the benefit purchased by accumulated contributions
at the time the benefit commences.
ACTUARIAL VALUATION
Shown below are two tables. Table I is the actuarial balance sheet and
is used to derive the contribution rate for the city. The contribution rate
is the division of line 9 by line 11.

In the above table the future benefits for active lives is the present
value on December 31, 19735 of all future possible benefits for presently
active participants using the valuation assumptions as listed on page 5.
The liability to be paid by future city contributions is the present value
of all benefits for active and retired members less the current assets in
hand.
-3-
The cash assets used were reported by June Higdon as of December 31,
1973. Investments used were the face amounts shown on the copies provided by
you under the headings Firemen's Retirement Fund and Police Retirement Fund.
The face values were used. While this overstates their 12-31-73 value, the fact
that the amount of accrued interest as of 12-31-73 was not available to us and
therefore not included has an offsetting effect and the result should have a
negligible effect on the contribution rate.
Table II shows the present financial status of the plan, compared with
the liability for current retired participants, their beneficiaries and the
Annuity Savings Fund.

COMMENTS
The contribution rates we are recommending appear to be considerably
higher than the rates recommended by your previous actuary. Although our
information regarding your previous valuations is somewhat limited, some
comments are in order.
The difference in the final contribution rate is entirely a reflection
of the differing valuation assumptions. While it appears all of the assumptions
differ somewhat, the ones that are the primary cause of the difference in con-
tribution rates are listed and discussed below.
Withdrawal assumptions - Our withdrawal assumption in the valuation is
admittedly conservative. However, not knowing what your particular employee
turnover experience has been, we used a conservative assumption. With the
benefits as stated in Chapter 411 and the early possible retirement age (55
with 22 years of service).any withdrawal assumption above age 50 seems inappro-
priate. If it is demonstrated that your employee turnover experience is high
rather than low, our recommended contribution rates could be lowered by approxi-
mately 2% by using a higher withdrawal assumption in the valuation.
Pension 1/2 Adjustment Benefit - Mentioned in previous reports is the
statement that assumptions are those used by the Civil Service Retirement
System. These include annuity values which do not appear -to provide for the
cost of the 1/2 adjustment of benefits. We are not certain whether this
benefit was included in the contribution rate of previous years or whether
it is being "funded presently on a pay-as-you-go basis. The rate we quoted
includes a provision for funding this 1/2 adjustment benefit. This is a most
valuable benefit. Only a few private plans have this cost -of -living adjustment
at the present time. However, it is also an expensive benefit to fund.
Continuing New Entrant Assumption - It is our understanding that presently
your contribution rates are based on the assumption of continuing new entrants
in future years to maintain the police and fire force at their present level.
Another plan that uses the same assumption is the Des Moines Police and Fire
System. In the past, the Social Security System and the Railroad Retirement
System have used the same type of assulnption. The result is to greatly reduce
the required contribution rates to the plan. We have not used this assumption
and do not feel it wise for a number of reasons.
1) Equity - We believe it wise to fund the benefits of
active members over the present working lifetime of
these members. A new entrants assumption has the effect
of postponing present plan costs to future generations.
This seems to be an inequitable way to treat the taxpayers_
•
2) Security of Benefits - A new entrant assumption if carried on
indefinitely, leads to the position that contributions plus
interest each year are just sufficient to pay the yearly benefits
for retired members. Thus, there is no security, other than for
taxing authority, for presently active members that there will
ever be money available to pay for their benefits. The Social
Security System is presently experiencing such a dilemma. In
fact, some experts are predicting the Social Security Fund will
go negative as early as 1980. If this is true, the tax rate will
have to be increased just to pay for benefits for presently retired
members of the system. Thus, the only security as to eventual
benefits for presently active members is the taxing power of the
Federal Government.
There is further evidence in your plan.shown in Table II. The
present assets are insufficient to cover the liabilities for cur-
rent retired members and the annuity savings fund liability. There
are no funds presently to cover the vested benefits for current
active participants. This insufficiency has increased by $101,728
since the 12-31-71 valuation.
3) Interest - One of the most important assumptions affecting the cost
is the interest rate assumption. The larger the assets the more
the interest earnings the lower the cost to the city and thus the
taxpayer. For a plan such as yours, a reduction in the cost of
5% - 5 1/2% for each 1/4% increase in the assumed valuation interest
rate is a reasonable assumption. Therefore, if the valuation rate
of 4 1/2q were used the contribution rate may be expected to drop
to from 89% to 9010 of the rates recommended.
(Police - 30.87 x .89 = 27.47)
(Fire - 34.04 x .89 = 30.30)
Any interest earned in excess of the assumed valuation rate further
reduces the cost.
4) Funding Method Specified by Chapter 411.
Chapter 411.8(2b) specifies the funding method to be used in cal-
culating the required contribution rate. The Chapter states:
"The normal contribution rate shall be the rate percent
of the earnable.compensation of all members obtained by
deducting from the total liabilities of the fund the
amount of the funds in hand to the credit of thefund
and dividing the remainder by one percent of the present
value of the prospective future compensation of all
members as computed on the basis of mortality and service
tables adopted by the boards of trustees and regular
interest."
7-
Salary Scale - We used:a salary ;scale assumption of 3% increase per
year. The one in, the Civil-Service.tabl.es is approximately 1 1/2% per
year. Obviously, neither is close to the present day salary increases
being granted. The change from 1 1/20/3 to a 3% assumption adds approximately
10% to the contribution rate.

Since the Chapter 410 systems are unfunded pay-as-you-go plans, we
recommend that the city contribute at the annual pension rate shown above
rounded to the higher $50.
CONCLUSION
As mentioned before, the contribution rates we tentatively recommend are
30.970% for the police system and 34.13% for the fire system. The weighted
average of the two is 32.55%. We realize these are considerably higher- rates
than you have paid in the past. However, we also feel there are two areas
where changes in valuation assumptions could be made that would reduce these
rates. One is the withdrawal assumption and the other is the interest rate
assumption. If these two changes are made, the average rate of 32.55; as stated
above could be reduced to around 26.5%.
We will be happy to discuss this report with you in greater detail at your
convenience.

Lines 3 and 4 now represent the liability for members presently
receiving benefits valued at 5%. The code states the Annuity Reserve
and Pension Reserve shall be held at the regular interest rate (40%). For
valuation purposes, using 5% merely recognizes these reserves will earn
interest at that rate rather than at the regular interest rate and allows
the city to take immediate credit for this excess by a reduction in the
contribution rate rather than credit when the excess is actually earned_
If you desire using one contribution rate rather than two different
rates as shown on Line 12, a single rated average rate of 25.50% could
be used.
We suggest you review this report and then let us know if we can be
of any further assistance to you. We will, of course, be happy to answer
any questions you may have.

I' am wr%ting to you in regard to a veil- disturbing situation that is to
conte refore th-"city coun
45 lcecil on 22 October. It is regard -to a tract of land
s, located all'ng highway 218 south across from the 4R fairgrounds and
own -d by Gordhn Russell.
I wish to express my very -strong opposition to this move as Russell plans
to move a car cFushing business onto this land. -
I cannot stress tWo,stron-0lY what a dPplom ble sight t' -is would b- on one
Of Iowa City"O h-a.vi.3't trave] ed approaches into town This-typ: busine8s re-
suI'ts into one mXssive.jun"k y>rd and would be an-xtremr-y.sore for the ras-
id-nts in -the area; to the thousands of visitors to Iowa City -and the Univ-r-
sity as well as the thousands that visit the 4H Bounds -ach year.
Trus car crushing busin�z: sTs-noiseyp dirty-a`nd unsightly, -I know since it
boarders my property at the pros-nt`time to the east. I can near people racing
and roaring junk cars withofit mufflatrs at all -hour.,, I can }year th- crushing -
an r-nd!�,ring'ef junk cars even on Sundays when I would like to -njoy my home.
Thein is"dugt fro -m this actrvity as well as it tieing an -y-sore witi-, junk cars
ztr-wn hz-lte.r-skelter. Do we - want this along one of our principal �rt_'snces to
Iowa City? I think not. - - - - The very topography of the land in question-prev=nts proper screening fro".
This 11n`d rests too low in relation to the highway and the 4H grounds to
prop-rly`scr -n it. - - _ _
I agree that we need th-Ts type Of -activity but not and -e. --r our very eyes and
noses. It b-rengs in an area the same as your landfill does- away frcm p-opr-.
I would respectfully -bring to the councils attention the -fact that Rugs^11is
property abuits my property on the south. Yq property is zee -d R1A anti there
are five hom'ts abutting his rand at this point, and six Mimes across th= high-
way west. Doesn't this create a problem in r-gard to buffer zones, scr--ming
-tc? - - - - -
The city wourd-also inherit the scum -end of Riverside Dr which is a dirt
road that hZ:s never been brought -to g -rade and not maifftain-d as well as a culvert
built in the 1-920s which is silted nearly shut and the drainage flows across
th- road instead.of lander it.
"In-additieff to tif- above I wound like to bring to the councilts attention
the deplerabl' manner in which -the Planning-& Zoning body ruled on this re-
quest of`RusselV s.'First-there was absolutely no notice -posted on the rand
noted the -'desire to r-tvne. Secondly"mnly a very small -news item appeared in
MIA* m3dZ]e`pages of the news paper the night before the zoning body -was to
m --t the next day at 4 PM. I dentt exactly call this a fair -and fionest approach
to good' zoning Procedures. -It smacks of a lack of--thics,pressure and or -in=
_Clue-nce b- it legal or otherh1se. This hasty manner' of" the zoning body deni-d
the public itis rights and tF'e opportunity to voice thou eppinion: Again I say
it -W -T3 grossly unfair and the council should take whatev-r steps n-cPssary to
pr -vent this from happening again. Thank you.

The Honorable Edgar Czarnecki
Mayor
City of Iowa City
Civic Center, 410 East Washington St.
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mayor Czarnecki:
The differences involved in calculating Iowa City's "hold
harmless" amount for the next three years are substantial.
I have today written to the appropriate officials within the
Department of Housing and Urban Development to express
my personal concern that the calculations for Iowa City be
carefully and fully reviewed with special attention to the
failure of the computer program to reflect the grant commit-
ment by HUD for Project Iowa R-14 in May, 1970.
I will be grateful if you will keep me advised in regard to
the resolution of this matter. Please let me know how I can
be of further assistance.
Sincere best wishes,
HAROLD E. HUGHE�

P.O.. Box 1149 Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Iowa City City Council
Civic Center
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
October 8, 1974
To the Mayor and the Members of the.City Council:
Citizens for Environmental Action finds the City
Staff's recent recommendation:to increase the Iowa City
bus fare by ten cents, disturbing. As you recall, CEA
circulated petitions, and obtained almost 4000 sinatures
requesting a ten cent fare in 1971, when the City took over
the bus system
We see the fifteen cent fare as one of the few present
incentives for continued transit use, due to the lack of
evening and Sunday service, half-hour headways (one hour
on Saturdays) and crowded peak period conditions. Additionaly,
we dispute the City Staff estimation that ridership would
not decrease if a twenty-five cent fare were instituted.
It is our understanding that the Institute of Urban
and Regional Research has studied the problem and will be
making- recommendations regarding funding sources and fair
collection of these, and we suggest these recommendations
be studied carefully.
The City Staff's direction toward free service for
the elderly during off peak periods, is commendable, as is
J.Fatrick White's stand in support of the lower fare.
CEA urges the City Council to maintain the present fifteen
cent fare and continue to support local transit systems,
On behalf of the
Board of Directors,
Joyce Dosta.le

Dear Mr. Czarnecki;
IOWA CITY, IOWA 52242
October 9, 1974
The University of Iowa Student Senate unanimously passed
a resolution endorsing the Madison Street closing at the meeting
of October 8.
We would hope that the City Council would take into con-
sideration the opinion of this constituent body. The Senate
represents approximately 20,000 persons, who have an active interest
in this matter.
Enclosed is a copy of the resolution. I would appreciate
having copies of the resolution distributed to the members of the
City Council.
Sincerely,
t�
Debra Cagan

RE: Madison Street Closing
i
Whereas; The proposed street closing of Madison Street
from Iowa Avenue to Washington Street is bene-
ficial to academic atmosphere of the University,
and
Whereas; The concept of a pedestrian - oriented campus has
long been a goal of the Student Senate, and
Whereas; The closing gives the University an opportunity
to continue planning the Lindquist Center complex,
and
Whereas; The traffic flow in this area would be limited
to mass transit and emergency vehicles only, and
Whereas; Bicycles will be permitted in this area, and
Whereas; The street closing would insure badly needed
safety measures for pedestrians, and
Whereas; The closing of this one area has the potential
of showing the city of Iowa City that a pedestrian
campus can indeed be a functional reality,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
That the UISAS endorse the closing of Madison
Street from Iowa Avenue to Washington Street
and encourage all University constituents and
citizens of Iowa City to support this action.

To whom it may concern,
In response to the informational meeting held by the City Council
and the requirements of the new Community Development Act, I would like
to offer the following comments with respect to the citizen participation
aspect. Focusing on the outcome of the meeting, I object to the reliance
on the city officials forthe formulation of the plan, the use of "group
leaders" in the process and the attendant effect which has been to
exclude the low income population in the initial formation. I feel that
true citizen participation- is not merely the consultation of previously
established groups and that true "grass roots" organization methods are
needed to fulfill the mandate of the Congress in this Act.
The "group dynamics" which gave rise to the selection of a leader in
my group aptly reflects my concerns. First, in no sense was the group
leader choosen by the group. Three of the persons in the group had decided
that he in fact should not be the representative and were in the process
of finding an alternative; with encouragement and support from the group
another woman, who had previously been little involved in city affairs,
would have better represented the citizens_ to whom the act in question
is addressed. While the discussion ensued,a "professional citizen"
in the group said our representative should do the job because "he
always did". -:adds>, as..good at that sort of thing etc. We were still
discussing the situation when our "representative" picked up the materials
and led the way out. The point is that a man who is used to assuming

discussing the situation when our "representative" picked up the materials
and led the way out. The point is that a man who is used to assuming
the leadership role does so almost automatically and also assumes that he
is representative of the group when in fact this was not the case. In
essence a "non -representative" was self-selected and supported by a vocal
"professional citizen"; the average citizen was effectively relegated to
an onlookers position and left without representation. It would have
taken an impolite and rather aggressive interchange to alter the "non
decision" and select a representative.
It should also be noted that the presentation which was given was not
essentially reflective of group opinion. There was no consensus and the
views of four members of the group (out of eight members in all) were not
presented in the report. The unrepresented group consisted of persons
who had little or no previous contact with participation in civic affairs.
The represented group consisted of three who have been involved in the
community for a long time and one person who had slight differences with
them who had recently joined a local citizens group. The result is typical
of the sort that can be expected when "professional citizens" take it
upon themselves to lead in the interest of savingtime or efficiency or some
resulfin
other such story. TheAdomi ance of previously existing ideas, not
reflective of the community as a whole, and a reinforcement of the
notion that nobody listens to the private citizen, particularly the
lower income citizen. THIS IS NOT THE OBJECTIVE OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION,
or is it? If the Council sincerely desires participation by the lower
income citizen they must solicit it directly and not in-a..perfunctory
manner.

Renee Toback

City Council
Civic Center
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Council Members:
After reading the article in the Press -Citizen of October 8 concerning
the bus fare, I decided it was time that I expressed my feelings to
the city council.
I have been a "user" of the Iowa City bus system for two years and
it has always amazed me that one could ride across town for only
15¢. In reference to this "amazement", I continually read articles
concerning the question of the source of additional funds to cover
the difference in income and operating expenses of our transit system.
The property owner is constantly turned to for additional funds for
many projects. Again, the property owner is being turned to. Why
don't you collect this fee from the person who is using this service?
There are many property owners who will never use this mode of trans-
portation but they are the very ones who must provide additional
revenue for it. (Under your suggestions.)
Other cities such as Des Moines charge far more than 15¢ for the use
of their buses. I -would be more than willing to pay 25¢ each time I
used this service, but feel outraged at the thought of being "forced"
to pay with property taxes!
Please consider some of these ideas and feelings when you take a vote
on this issue.
Sincerely yours,
A:10 9r/

City Finance Director

Iowa City, Iowa. 52?40
Dear Sir..
Let me first``establish my credentials as a person concerned
with the bus system in Iowa City even though I live in ',4as1,inp:-
ton. I have-lived in Iowa Clay all my life with the exception
of the last 13 months. i:y wjfe,works full time in Iowa City
and'we spend a considerable amount of time and money in Iowa
City.
I understand you are .thinking of raising the bus fare to 25a
to cover the annual operating deficit of the bus system. Let
me enumerate several.poijIts in opposition to the proposed hike.
The philosophy of the city planners and managers of Iowa City
has long struck me as'_being,contradictory. Onone hand, the
bus system is'expected by the budgetary planners to show a profit
every year, while onithe other hand designers and planners
follow policies whicY will quickly ruin the bus system by over-
encouraging the use o•f automobiles by the citizens of Iowa City.
It is rapidly becoming clear that America can no longer afford
its present extreme o'onsumption of gasoline--a message rein-
forced-by President Ford's inflation message today. It seems
to me that the city planners "and managers should pursue a policy
which would make travel by,bus so appealing-that people would
favor that mode of transportation over the car--thereby conserving
fuel and maintaining 'the clean air Iowa is famous for.
r.
It seems.to me fallac1lous to,
a profit`require the city bus system to she:.
,. or even approach.the;level of self-sufficiency if you
agree with the_thrust!of this argument: the bus system is a
service which the cit�yy :
as police and' fire,prbtprovides on approximately
the ambulancetservice (perhaps the saine
provided by;other apendles than the city) or many of the other
services providedby'the city which are not expected to show a
One Profit. Why are these agencies not expected to make a profit?
resideason is that they provide"a significant service to all.
resident"s of the city, whether ornota given individual makes
direct use of that' service or not. In other words, these services
provide,an indirect benefit to residents by their very existence
and occasional use:by some people The city bus system should be
z
1
operated -on this same basis,,'.since it does provide a service
which all residents benefit from. Some benefitdirectlyby having
available a low-cost,`pleasant, clean, efficient means of trans-
portation which they use nearly daily. (I might add here that
perhaps one way to increase income for the bus system is to
strenuously pursue a policy to encourage people to ride the bus
during relatively -low. -ridership -periods rather than drive their
car downtown or wherever.) Other residents who do not make use
of this unusually_high'quality bus system also benefit indirectly
from its existence through :increased availability of parking
spaces in thevariousshopping areas, -lower traffic loads on the
city streets (which reduces .their maintenance costs, makes them
safer for children and b,icycles,`and reduces the number of wider
streets necessary), increased availability of gasoline, less air
and noise pollution, and the existence of a backup form of trans-
portation -which is available when their preferred means is not.
These indirect benefits are significant and accrue to all residents
of the city. Since the bus system does benefit everyone in the
city, just as the`fire and police- 'services do, there is much
reasonableness in asking each resident of the city to contribute
slightly to the upkeep.`and operation of the bus system, lust as
each is asked to contribute to the fire and police departments.
I am not familiar with the financial operation of the bus system
except to know,that it is expected to run about a X160,000 deficit
this year and that the city contributes something on the order of
124 for every 15V fare paid. A deficit of $160,000 amounts to
only about 43 for every resident of the area --a fairly inccnsider-
able amount iricomparison to the benefits available, I wov-ld
argue. !
I -am also opposed to raising.thel fare for personal reasons: I
ride the bus.whenever,I can and have over the years preferred not
to use my car.' Boa fare increase will, I think, cause me some
undue burden --financially indeed, but as I have argued, it will
cause me to pay more than my fair share of the cost of operating
the bus .system'; since I am not the __only person who benefits when
I ride t e°bus :'
I urge you -to reconsider your recommendation to increase the bus
fare. By using the economic argument of significant positive
social benefits whichi,accrue'to all residents from the existence
of a bus system, as'-I!have tried to outline above, I think you
can make a'strong case for a "subsidy from the city covering a
rather large part'of ;the'total cost of operating the excellent
bus system Iowa City has.
If you have time, I 1
line of reasoning,;, i

2nd VICE PRESIDENT
On August 22, 1974 President Ford signed into law, NEW HOUSING AND
Mrs. Imogene Martini
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT (P.L. 93-383) , a bill which consolidates
RR #2
Milrord, lowa51351
numerous -federal community development programs into one block

formula grant. This law provides new avenues of funding for
Edward L. Anderson
community living arrangements for retarded persons. While Congress
P. O. Box 4.W
Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52407
has .not yet appropriated funds for this program we recognize that
TREASURER
the local communities will be responsible for the development of a
C. A. Hoffman
"housing assistance plan" and must specifically address itself to
:1220 52nd Street
Des Moines, Iowa 50310
the needs of handicapped and elderly persons. Section 104 (a)
pp y
PASTPRESIDENT

The Iowa Association for Retarded Citizens is very concerned about
-
Mrs. Cyril Hoover
housing for mentally retarded persons and especially adults. The
William H. Englebrecht
Jerry Welch
philosophy ofproviding programs and services to these people has
Ron Armstrong
Robert A. Mowry
changed from placing all of them in large state or county owned
Robert Pool
facilities to one of helping them to live and work in as normal a

pattern as possible.
Mrs. Louis Baudler
Mrs. James Kelly
Linda Senf
We know that there are 226 mentally retarded citizens in your
DIRECTORS AT LARGE
community who need a specialized living program. This could be one
J. Herman Schweiker
Paul Carter
of the following: apartment living, supervised apartment living,
William C. Kurth
foster family homes,_ group homes or specialized training homes.Mrs.
Mary Leonard
Calvin Wright
Mrs. Bea Zeigler
Mrs. Virginia VonTalge
After reading the legislation we recognize the following to be of
Al Baumgartner
special interest to the mentally retarded citizen: Title I gives
the authority to undertake the removal of architectural barriers
which restrict access for handicapped persons, the development of
neighborhood facilities, and the development of public services
not otherwise available, but necessary and appropriate to support
activities which are specifically authorized by this title.
Ell

Iowa Cc
continued, .
formerly known as
larded Children
Title II re -writes the entire structure of federal housing programs.
A total of $11.3 billion is authorized under title II, with $800
million specifically set aside for the elderly and the handicapped
under section 202. In addition to the housing loan program (section
202), title II also includes an assisted housing program (section 23)
to provide direct housing subsidies to low-income persons, including
handicapped people. Congregate housing is included in this program.
While we recognize that the funds have not been appropriated and the
rules and regulations have not been published as to this date we
wanted to offer our help and assistance to you as you prepare your
plans in using these funds.
We will be happy to communicate with you regarding the above and thank
you for your interest and concern.

Mr. Robert H. Bowlin
Assistant City Attorney
Civic Center
410 East Washington Street
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. Bowlin:
In response to your letter of October 4, I cannot provide a definitive
answer to the question of possible state law restrictions on the use of
funds from the new 1974 Housing and Community Development Act.
I have raised the question with a number of individuals, including
local and state officials, and have yet to find anyone who is aware of
any specific problem. However, with the thought that there might be
something that could give us trouble, I have asked the Office of Planning
and Programming to undertake a review of state law on this question.
Mr. Bill McNarney of OPP is coordinating the search, and I am in contact
with his staff. Hopefully, some preliminary answer can be secured very
soon.
This topic will be discussed at a joint hearing of the House and
Senate Cities and Towns Committees in Des Moines on October 23.
I will keep you in mind as my own research progresses, and I would
appreciate hearing from you if you turn up any problems.
Sincerely,
Robert E. Josten

CITY of IOWA CITY, IOWA
POSITION PROFILE
Background
The City of Iowa City is a diversified socio-economic, university
co=unity whose approximate 50,000 populace reflect and actively pursue
r.any of the varied public interest and social tonics relevant to today's
urban society,
The Council elected Mayor and four Members of the Council, who
together comprise the City Council of Iowa City are elected at large on
a non-partisan basis but are elected by and represent, to some degree,
a portion of special interest constituency (e.g., business, university,
environmental interests, etc.). Due to the diversity of both the
co-mmunity and personal interests of Council Members a high degree of
participatory activity, detailed and deliberate discussion and policy
action review and reexamination between Council -Community -City Staff
occurs, tending, depending upon one's frame of reference, to "slow down"
governmental processes or to give a degree of satisfaction to others
that "all has been considered" prior to final decisions. The City
operates under Council -Manager government by Charter, but at present and
in the predictable future will undoubtedly not unanimously accapt
"traditional" council-manager government, which is seen to provide "cut
and dried" ,"efficiency oriented" professional adminstration, limiting
Council and Community involvement.
Desirable Citv Manager Attributes
a. Personal. A person who is very adaptable to change and/or dis-
cussion and investigation of change as it relates to both
interaction with Council, Staff and citizen interest groups,
and delivery of.governmental services. An individual with
patience, self confidence, and ability to communicate and relate
to persons in all stations of society. A person of unquestioned
honesty and integrity.
b. Occupational Competence. An individual who possesses demonstrated
abilities relating to organizational and community leadership,
concern for human and social needs balanced with fiscal realities,
and one who can personally communicate and administer with
excellence -through substantial interaction with a professional
staff, Council, Community and external governmental agencies and
regulatory bodies: A person who can delegate with confidence, is
secure in judgment and can maintain the respect of the Council
and all others with whom he participates in service to the community.

- 2 -
c. Special qualifications. The Candidate nuet be a person who <aill
allow and accept a high degree of interaction between Council
and professional Staff and one who will utilize all resources
available to initiate, develop and explore an array of alterna-
tives for policy and community consideration on -,.ost every
Council policy consideration. Although required to give
considerable personal access to Council, Staff and all represen-
tative Community =embers, the Candidate is expected to perform
in a non-political, non-strategizing manner with regard to
recommendation of policy actions and implementation of community
programs. A total appreciation and compassion for human needs
and interests, beyond traditional "brick and mortar" management
is required.
A person who can devdlop a mutual level of trust and confidence
rmoag Council -Community -Staff groups and who possesses the qualifications
and attributes alluded to above will truly find the Iowa City City Manager
position, although considerably challenging, a most rewarding and
contributive opportunity.
Conditions of Em.plovmert. The position is one which requires executive
administrative competence and experience with salary and benefits com-
mensurate with responsibility and expectation for the position. The
follo--ring announcement appeared in the International City Management
Association Newsletter and has been transmitted to numerous governmental
and affirmative action agencies;
City Manager
Iowa City, Iowa - pop. (469850) -- Salary open;
presently $310400; City Manager appointed by 5 -member
Council elected at -large on a non-partisan basis.
$15 million budget; 350 full-time employees. MPTA and
minimum 5 years managerial experience desirable. Send
resume to Mayor's Office, Civic Center, 410 E. Washington,
52240. Mark envelope "Application for Manager".
Importantly, subsequent to placement of the above announcement the City
Council strongly emphasizes that recruitment and selection emphasis be
placed upon Candidate's demonstrated ability and potential not solely upon
professional or educational "tickets" nor upon racial, ethnic or sex
considerations.

® SUBJECT: Comments by the City Council of the City
on the L•'nvironmental Impact Statement for
Parking Ramp
E
E
of Iowa Ci.ty, Iowa,
the Proposed VA
In the opinion of the City Council, the Environmental Impact Statement
generally did not include an adequate level of referencing or footnoting. In
the review of the Environmental Impact Statement the Council periodically had
to research other reports in an attempt to substantiate various conclusions and
statements presented in the EIS.
The Council is also of the opinion that there needs to be a more detailed,
concrete explanation of the present parking situation for the VA Hospital.
Specifically, the Council would.like to know the exact number of spaces now
available, who presently patronizes these spaces (number of employees, number
of visitors, number of patients), and the net impact of additional spaces on the
entire parking situation. The Council also questioned what the VA parking need
would be beyond the year 1980. If an increased need is perceived beyond 1980,
in the opinion of the Council it would be appropriate to include this in the
Environmental Impact Statement.
In the first paragraph on page 4 of the EIS, there is a discussion of the
necessity for the construction of a new boiler plant and for the modification
of the existing physical plant in order to provide for central air conditioning
and a chilling structure. The EIS does not mention whether these facilities are
movable. The Council would like a response in this area.
The EIS generally did not provide an adequate discussion relative to the
percentage of the VA work force in Iowa City which actually has access to mass
transit. In the opinion of the Council this statement did not adequately treat
the use of alternative means of transportation other than the private automobile.
It is also the Council's opinion that the statement did not provide an adequate
differentiation between employee parking needs and visitor or patient parking
needs.
Another area of deficiency is that of the impact the proposed facility would
have on traffic flows in Iowa City. Specifically, the Council questioned what
impact this facility would have on traffic patterns in and around the west campus
of the University of Iowa.
In the first paragraph on page 7 of the EIS, the minimization of adverse
environmental impacts are discussed. It is stated that these will relate primarily
to planning and aesthetic considerations which will minimize the visual impact of
the structure and which will enhance the "perceived aesthetics." The Council
believes the statement should more fully express what the proposed design will do
in order to minimize the adverse visual impact of the ramp.
In the last paragraph on page 7 of the EIS, there is included the statement
that "adequate parking will also reduce the number of hunters looking for parking
spaces around this facility." Additional backup information should be included
in the EIS to substantiate this position. Some of this is included in the feasi-
bility study prepared by the firm of Hansen, Lind, & Meyer; however, this is not
included as a part of the EIS.
ti
is ,�• •
Page 2
® In the second paragraph of page 8 of the statement, there is a discussion
relative to the measures which could betaken in order to eliminate the discharge
of particulate matter in the storm drainage system and subsequently into the
Iowa River. The EIS indicates that measures which could be taken to reduce the
amount of particulate matter discharge would include the provision for appropriate
French drains and sediment traps within the drainage system; there is no comment
as to whether these will actually be installed or whether this is merely a possi-
bility. The Council would like this to be answered directly.
On page 8 of the EIS, there is a discussion on alternatives to the proposed
action. The Council specifically questioned the weighing of the factors used for
this purpose.
on page 95 of the previously mentioned Hansen, Lind, & Meyer report, a case
was made relative to sites 5 and 6 best serving the needs of visitors to the facility,
however on page 95 of this report, it would appear that, were the hospital to expand,
this facility would then best serve employees. This point needs to be clarified.
In Exhibit A of the EIS, a summary of parking needs is presented. This exhibit
includes parking requirements for three different out-patient levels (60,000; 80,000;
and 95,500 outpatients). The Council questioned the source of this information and
the backup information which was used to arrive at these figures.
The Environmental Impact Statement gives no assurance of coordination with '.he
activities and programs of the University of Iowa. Mention should be made of this
• subject and specific attention should be given to the impact of this ramp as it
relates to the creation of a pedestrian -oriented campus by the University. Docu-
mented statements from the University of Iowa on this concept and on other west
campus programs should be considered in this light.
The above mentioned statements represent the comments and conclusions reached
by a majority of the members of the City Council of the City of Iowa City. Should
any explanation of these be desired or should any other questions arise relative
to these statements, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Washington, D.C. 20260
August 27, 1974
Dear Congressman Mezvinsky:
This is with further reference to your August 12 corre-
spondence on behalf of Mr. Robert Hilgenberg, Executive
Director of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission
of Iowa City, concerning their interest in the disposition
of the old Iowa_,City Post Office building.
We have concluded an economic analysis regarding the dispo-
sition of the old facility and it has been determined that it
is excess to our needs. We are, therefore, following the
disposal procedures presently in force with the General
Services Administration. This is our policy with respect
to all surplus real estate.
We are now in process of requesting the General Services
Administration to dispose of the property. Such property
is first offered to other federal agencies, then to state
and local governments, and finally to local community
governmental agencies. It should be noted, however, that
our policy requires that the transfer or sale be in return
for fair market value of the facility.
In view of Mr. Hilgenberg's interest in the property we have
referred his inquiry to our Real Estate Department for for-
warding to the General Services Administration so that when
the property is offered for sale the terms and conditions
of the sale can be sent to the Johnson County Regional
Planning Commission.

MEMORANDUM
date: October 14, 1974
to: Dennis Kraft, Acting City Manager
department of
urban renewal
eub,jeet: policy on Renting Space in Clinton Street Mall
At your request, I have prepared the following information
to assist the City Council in stating a policy on the rental
of vacant space in the Clinton Street Mall.
HUD regulations state that in temporary relocation, only
persons displaced because of Urban Renewal activities are
allowed to utilize "temporaries". It was our intention to
follow this directive when we conceived and executed, with
HUD approval, the Clinton Street Mall temporary relocation
project. Our main objective in creating the Mall was to
get the tenants who occupied the structures into permanent
quarters. That objective has been fulfilled in the case
of the Bivouac, which has been relocated permanently to
the site formerly occupied by Whetstone Drug Store. The
tenant adjoining the Bivouac, Buc Leathers wishes to vacate
his one small module and rent the space formerly occupied
by the Bivouac. As far as I'm concerned, this is an accept-
able move on the part of Buc Leathers.
However, it will result in one vacant module with approxi-
mately 450 square feet. We have contacted the remaining
fifteen businesses who must be relocated because of Urban
Renewal activities regarding the rental of the vacant module.
None of the businesses is interested in renting the space.
Thus, on the one hand, we are faced with the HUD regulations
that state that spaces can be rented only to people being
affected by Urban Renewal and, on the other hand, with none
of those businesses wanting to rent the space. The question
then is, do we leave the space vacant or attempt to lease it?
date: October 14, 1974
to: Dennis Kraft, Acting City Manager
sub,ject:Policy on Renting Space in Clinton Street Mall
page: 2
Because the cost of this entire project was to be paid for
by rents received from the tenants, I think the answer to
the above question is fairly obvious. We must rent the
space. The question is "to whom"? There is little doubt
in my mind that the space can be rented readily. I have
three or four prospective tenants immediately. Some are
local businesses who wish to expand their present opera-
tions, and others are prospective tenants from out-of-town.
It has also been suggested that maybe a citizen participa-
tion headquarters for the implementation of the citizen
participation plan required by the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974 be established in the Mall. This
space is ideally suited for such a use. The other uses
suggested by prospective tenants are: a men's hair styling
shop, a sporting goods store, and a doughnut shop. Each,
or any of these, would be an appropriate use in the Mall
as presently constituted.
In light of the above, I suggest the following alternative
possibilities in no order of importance:
1. Rent space to the City for Citizen Participation
Headquarters.
2. Let City Manager choose tenant from among local
businesses interested.
3. Let City Manager choose tenant from all businesses
interested.
4. Council select tenant.
5. Run ad in Press Citizen and select tenant on "first
come, first serve is.

SUBJECT: S-7414. Preliminary Plat of
Washington Park Addition, Part 9
located west of Green Mountain
Drive extended northerly and
east and north of Washington Park Additions, Parts 5 through 8 (Mount Vernon
Drive and Princeton Road); date filed:' 8/12/74; 45 -day limitation: 9/26/74.
STAFF The subject 19.62 acre addition
ANALYSIS: consists of 47 lots for an
average density of 2.4 lots/
acre. The smallest lot con-
sists of approximately 10,725 square feet which exceeds by a considerable
margin the minimum lot size requirement of 6,000 square feet in the R1B Zone.
The plat, having been previously reviewed by the staff and revised, meets
all the requirements of the Subdivision Code with the exception of the location
of easements for "public, semi-public or community use", namely utility ease-
ments for telephone and electrical installations.
It should be noted that the right-of-way for Green Mountain Drive is indicated
as 60 feet, as is the right-of-way for said street in Washington Park Addition,
Part B. It was previously felt necessary to provide a collector street
between Washington Street and Rochester Avenue for internal circulation.
The staff is of the opinion, however, that Washington Street, Mount Vernon
Drive, and Amhurst Street will provide sufficient access to the neighborhood
encompassed by Court Street, First Avenue, Rochester Avenue, and Scott
Boulevard. It would, therefore, seem more appropriate to reduce the right-
of-way width to 50 feet, the minimum width required for a residential street,
to increase the buildable area of adjacent lots. Sidewalks would be "jogged"
but certainly at no detriment to the addition.
STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
It is the staff's recommendation
that the plat be approved if
revised to show the location
of utility easements.
STAFF A sanitary sewer located
COMMENT: along rear property lines
has both advantages and
disadvantages. Although it
is less costly to install than along streets where more adequate compaction
and backfill are required, access to manholes when a line is plugged presents
a problem. Ten foot utility easements along sanitary sewers for maintenance
are required, but as in the case of the sanitary sewer along the rear property
lines common to Lots 180 through 189 and 202 through 205 and 207, it is
necessary to enter with maintenance equipment at Columbia Circle to reach the
manhole at Lot 189 without"assuming liability for damage of private property.
Perhaps consideration should be given to amending the Subdivision Code to
require easements for access to manholes located along rear property lines
such as along Lots 181 and 182, 185 and 186, and 189 and 190.

PROCEDURAL STEPS FOR THE ADOPTION
OF AN ORDINANCE TO REQUIRE THE MANDATORY
DEDICATION OF PARK LAND OR FEES IN LIEU OF
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to outline the steps necessary
in the adoption of an ordinance requiring the mandatory
dedication of land, payment of fees -in -lieu -of dedication,
or both for park and recreational land in new subdivisions.
The first part of this report relates the various techniques
for obtaining land and the second part gives the steps
necessary for such an ordinance.
PART I -- METHODS OF OBTAINING LAND
There are several methods of obtaining land for neighborhood
parks in new residential areas including the following:
Fee Simple - the purchase of land outright. This is the
most common method employed by cities to acquire land.
It is obvious, however, the public must have the money
at the outset to buy the land.
Reservation - withholding land for a specified length of
time for later acquisition. This method enables cities
to develop a program for purchasing park land on a year-
to-year basis as funds become available. Enough money,
however, may not be available to purchase needed park
land in rapidly growing residential areas.
Easement - the purchase of an easement over land for park
purposes. This is perhaps the oldest method of withholding
land for park and recreational use while keeping it on the
tax rolls. The method is most often used for the preser-
vation of open space and scenic areas at much less cost
than could be accomplished.through the fee simple method
and entitles the land owner to utilize the land as long
as he preserves it. In any case, easements should be
acquired for perpetuity to secure the city's investment
in any later improvements on the land, but even then in
almost every easement deed, there will be a reverter
clause to the effect that if the purpose for which the
easement was acquired is abandoned, the easement will
automatically be voided and all rights returned to the
E
11
owner. In such, cases, also, the cost of an easement
would undoubtedly approximate the cost of acquiring the
land by fee simple.
Mandatory dedication or fees -in -lieu of - the dedication
of land, payment of fees or both for park and recreational
land in new subdivisions. This method is used extensively
by cities particularly in the State of California and in
other states including Arkansas, Washington and Minnesota.
Because of the desperate financial capacities of govern-
ments to cope with the problems manifest in the extra-
ordinary rate of residential growth, this method is the
best way of obtaining land for neighborhood parks when
they are needed and before the land is developed for other
uses. It could also perhaps be supported that it is the
obligation of the subdivider to provide open space for the
general health and safety of the residents generated by
his use of the land just as it is his obligation to pro-
vide certain improvements including streets, sidewalks,
gas, electricity and water for the general welfare of
residents within the subdivision.
PART II --.STEPS NECESSARY FOR ADOPTING
A MANDATORY DEDICATION ORDINANCE
The steps necessary for the development of background infor-
mation and the preparation and adoption of a mandatory
dedication ordinance are illustrated in the following chart

A Comprehensive Plan
It would first be desirable to have an updated comprehensive
plan, an official public document adopted by the City as a
policy guide to decisions about the future physical develop-
ment of the community. Since the official comprehensive plan
for Iowa City, prepared by Harland Bartholomew and Associates,
was "adopted" in 1962, it should be updated or replaced with
a new plan to reflect the changes in development patterns and
subsequent annexations by the City which have occurred over
the past twelve years. One of several elements included in
the plan is a parks and recreational element, part of which
illustrates in general form the most appropriate locations
for future neighborhood, community and regional parks, pro-
grammed in succession with the expansion of residential
development.
Alternatively, the parks and recreational section of the
comprehensive plan could be updated utilizing in part the
Park and Recreation Survey, prepared by Ralph H. Burke, Inc.
in 1965, and updated in 1970. It is difficult, however, to
formulate plans for the future location of parks without
consideration for other interrelated land use elements such
as the location of future major and secondary arterial streets,
anticipated residential growth, a delineation of neighborhood
boundaries, and the location of elementary schools, as would
be given in a comprehensive plan.
In a letter submitted to the City Council from the City
Attorney's office and attached with an accompanying memorandum
as an exhibit to this report, reference is made to the opinion:
"the City does have the power to require mandatory dedication
or fees -in -lieu of dedication if the following standards are
adhered to as set forth in the memorandum: the park required
must be included in our comprehensive or general plan ..."
By inference, there might appear to be a question of suffi-
ciency in updating just the parks and recreational section of
the plan, although in either case, the goals and objectives
and standards for parks and recreation including area,
location and facilities would be developed.
A Study
The next step will necessitate a study taking into consideration:
a. The proportion of a subdivision to be dedicated and the
amount of any fee tobe paid in lieu thereof. There
are basically two formulas for determining the amount
of land to be dedicated: a fixed percentage based upon
the total amount of land in the subdivision and a density
11
formula where a given amount of land is required per
dwelling unit or lot. There are basically three types
of fees -in -lieu provisions: those in which the fees are
based upon either the assessed or fair market value of
the land or a percentage thereof, a fixed dollar amount
per lot or dwelling unit, or a variable amount of the
fair market value based upon the density of the sub-
division.
-5
b. The right of rejection of inappropriate land for a park
and the criteria for determining the suitability of a
site including accessibility, size and shape, topography,
geology, tree cover, and location. The dedicated land
should form a single parcel of land, have a shape usable
for recreational activities including softball and
tennis, be located so as to serve the recreational and
open space needs of the subdivision, have access to
joining street frontage, and have a location accessible
to the entire neighborhood.
C. An allowance of "credit" for private open space - land
maintained by the residents as a homeowners association.
In certain cases where sufficient open space and recre-
ational facilities are provided by the developer or home-
owners, public parks are not needed. In other cases,
supplemental land should be dedicated.
d. Limitations on the use of funds in -lieu -of dedication of
park land. As was indicated in the letter submitted from
the City Attorney's office, "the advantage gained from
the requirement must be used to the direct benefit of the
people in that subdivision." Fees paid, therefore, must
be used for the purpose of providing park and recreational
facilities to serve the "area" in which the subdivision
is located.
e. When the value of land will be determined for calculating
the fees -in -lieu. The City may want to determine the
fair market value based upon recent appraisals, or if the
subdivider should object to such amount of evaluation, he
may, at his expense, obtain an appraisal of the property
by a qualified real estate appraiser approved by the City.
f. A procedure for determining when fees -in -lieu of dedication
are more appropriate. In the event subdivisions are
proportionately small, a suitable park cannot be properly
located in the subdivision, or the comprehensive plan calls
for a neighborhood park to be located elsewhere, a payment
of fees -in -lieu of land would be more appropriate.
•
El
The final step is the writing of an ordinance to amend the
Subdivision Ordinance to require the mandatory dedication of
land, payment of fees -in -lieu of dedication, or both. A
sample ordinance incorporating provisions outlined in a
Report and Su ested Ordinance for the Dedication of Park
Lana in Subdivisions from the League of California Cities
is attar a as an ex ibit to this report. It is essential to
keep in mind that these provisions in their present form are
not entirely appropriate to the City.
Summary
In summation, to require the mandatory dedication of land,
payment of fees or both for park and recreational use in new
subdivisions will necessitate: (1) updating the comprehensive
plan and the parks and recreational element or updating the
parks and recreational section of the existing comprehensive
plan utilizing, in part, the Park and Recreation Survey
prepared by Ralph H. Burke, Inc., (2) a study to determine
what essential provisions should be included within an
ordinance, and (3) the writing of an ordinance to amend the
Subdivision Ordinance for adoption.

Re s Mandatory Park Land Dedications
Mayor and Council Members:
Recently you referred to my office the question of whether or not
the City had the power to require the dedication of park land as part of the
subdivision process by developers. We have extensively researched this
question. Attached to this letter is a research memorandum of February 8,
1974, by Assistant City Attorney Dick Braun outlining the results of this
study.
The status of mandatory park land dedications in Iowa is uncertain,
as the memorandum indicates. Chapter 409 of the Code of Iowa does not
specifically grant municipal corporations this power. However, it is our
opinion that the City does have the power to require mandatory dedication
or fees -in -lieu of dedication if the following standards are adhered to as
set forth in the memorandum:
1. The park required must be included in our
comprehensive or general plan.
2. The subdivision exaction must be considered
reasonable, with regard to the subdivision in
question.
3. The requirements must be attributable to the
specific needs of the subdivision in question.
4. The advantage gained from the requirement
must be used to the direct benefit of the people
in that subdivision.
' You should be aware that enactment of mandatory park land dedications
�
would probably result in litigation in the courts over the issue because of the

uncertainty of the legal status of the requirement.

RE: Mandatory Park Land Dedications
Subdivision regulations requiring the mandatory dedication
of land or fees -in -lieu of.land as precedent to plat approval
must generally be authorized by state legislation. States fall
into three catagories on this issue:
1. States.specifically allowing mandatory dedication
of land or fees -in -lieu of dedication.
2. States where enabling legislation neither specifically
authorizes nor forbids mandatory dedication of land or fees -
in -lieu thereof,
3. States where legislation specifically prohibits
mandatory dedication.of land or fees -in -lieu thereof.
I will discuss these three in order placing Iowa in the
proper perspective.
1. To name a few, California, Arkansas, Washington,
and Minnesota have adopted legislation authorizing dedication
and fees -in -lieu provisions. Out of this list of states the
California example has created the strongest impact. Prior
to the enactment of mandatory dedication legislation in
California in 1965, there was a.1949 landmark case already in
existence in that state, ' ►res v.- City of Los Angeles,
34 Cal.2d 31, 207 P.2d 31 k1949). The Ayres case stands for
the propositionthat a land owner or developer can be required
to pay for improvements which are generated by his use of the
land whether or not the community is also benefited by the
expenditure. It Is the obligation of the subdivider to comply
with reasonable conditions for design, dedication, improvement,
and restrictive' use of the land so as to conform to the safety
and general welfare of the lot owners in the subdivision and of
the public: Thus, identifying the existence of benefits to
those intended to be burdened by the restrictions, the court
made its ultimate leap of logic for which Ayres has been cited
ever since: "It is no defense to the condition imposed in a
subdivision map proceeding that their fulfillment will
incidently benefit the City as a whole.", Ayres vs. Cit of
Los Angeles at page 7. Subsequent to the Ayres case, In 3965,
Cl
California passed specific legislation (Section 11546 of the
Business Code of the State), which authorized cities and counties,
as a condition of subdivision map approval, to require a subdivider
to dedicate land for neighborhood parks, or in -lieu thereof, to
pay fees for such purposes. Subsequent to this date the Supreme
Court of California in 1971 in an expansion of the _A rimes doctrine
to require dedication of land or fees -in -lieu of dedication for
parks and other open spaces handed down an opinion in Associated
Home Builders Etc. v. Walnut Creek, 94 Ca1.Rptr. 630, 484 P.2d
0 Cal. 1971). Associated ome Llders Etc. v. Walnut Creek
sustained the validity of Section 1154b of the Business an
Professional Code of the State of California and additionally
sustained an ordinance of the city of Walnut Creek enacted
pursuant to said statute. The Supreme Court found a merit in
the contention that the city should be able to use the collected
fees anywhere in the community and not be required to spend such
fees on a park conveniently located to the subdivision. It should
be noted at this time for future reference that Associated Home
Builders disposed of., in a footnote, an important Illinois case
in this area, Pioneer Trust and Savings Bank v. Village of Mount
Prospect., 22 Ill.2d 375, 197b N.E. d 799 19 1 . It can obviously
emoted that the California position represents one end of the
spectrum; that being the.most liberal and progressive approach.
2. By far, the most.difficult and complex situation is
when enabling legislation neither expressly permits nor prohibits
requirements for dedication or fees -in -lieu dedication of land as
precedent to plat approval. To date there is no general agreement
among the various state courts involved, concerning the constitu-
tionality of requiring dedications as a condition to subdivision
approval. But a few courts have identified constitutional principles
that underlie their decision.
Common subdivision exactions, such as the dedication of
streets and sidewalks are designed to minimize the impact of the
subdivision on the municipalityand are supported by the general
welfare aim of the police power. The arguments supporting these
requirements have been uniformly accepted by the courts. A leading
case in this area, Ayres v. Cit Council of Los Angeles., has
supported this issue as_ ar back as 1949. This brings us then to
the key problem --whether the newer kinds of requirements in sub-
divisions, parks for-example,:should be treated any differently
from the more traditional requirements which have received
judicial approval (see Iowa Code Section 409.5). Does the require-
ment to dedicate land for parks as a condition to subdivision
approval lie within the permissable objectives of the police
power to protect the health, safety, welfare, and morals of the
general public?

New York and Wisconsin have enabling legislation which
neither specifically authorizes nor forbids a municipality to
require park land dedication or fees -in -lieu thereof and such
provisions have been upheld in principle in their courts.
A
In what has been contrasted as the polar opposite to
res and its progency, the Illinois Supreme Court in 1961
enunciated its "specifically and uniquely attributable" test in
Pioneer Trust and Savin s Bank v. Village of Mount Pros ect,
,g,

ich
60 residential lots and 1/10 of an acre for each acre of business
property to be used for park or school sites. In dispute was
the demand by Mount Prospect that a developer of 250 lots
dedicate 6.78 acres before his plat would be approved.
the court in Pioneer Trust took notice of A res and relied upon it in its decision. The Pioneer Trust court took notice as in
A res that the subdivision'in question was merely a small piece
in a rapidly evolving pattern of development; neither

Ayres, however, the Illinois courts
made noareferencedto anyike

developers to dedicate .land. Treating the immediate subdivision
as a matter of first impression, the court reached exactly the
Opposite conclusion as to A res on the critical issue of external
benefits: "No developer shall be compelled to dedicate open
space unless the need for 'it is specifically and uniquely

follow A res in reaching its d tdecision. The reading rofrAereso
and the reliance thereon by the Illinois Supreme Court has been
criticized by courts and other authorities.
Jordan v. Villa a ofMenomonee Falls, 137 N.W.2d 442 (1966),
a Wisconsin Supreme Court decision, interpreted 1959 ordinance
provisions of the Village of Menomonee Falls (see Appendix A)
as follows: "The Court accepted the guidelines given in Pioneer Trust
yet observed that the phrase 'specifically and uniquely attributable
to his activity', must not be 'so restrictively applied as to cast
an unreasonable burden of proof upon the municipality which has
enacted the ordinance under attack'."
In most instances'it would be impossible for
the municipality to prove that the land required to
be dedicated fora -park or school site as to meet a
need solely attributable.to the anticiapted influx of
people into the community to occupy this particular
subdivision. On the other hand, the municipality might
well be able to establish that a group of subdivisions
approved over a period of several years had been
responsible for bringing into the community a considerable
r]
Lj
number of people making it necessary that the land
dedications required of the subdividers be utilized
for school, park and recreation purposes for the
benefit of such influx. In the absence of contravening
evidence this would establish a reasonable basis for
finding the need for the acquisition was occasioned
by the activity of the subdivider. (Supreme Court of
Wisconsin, Nov. 2, 1965s 137 N.W.2d 442)
At this point it is extremely important to examine Statutues
of Wisconsin, Chapter 236. The pertinent parts of Section 236.45
are layed out in the Jordan decision at pages 445 and 446.
Please examine the parts of this section in light of the italicized
emphasis provided. This italicized emphasis refers generally to
facilitating adequate provision for parks, providing other
approving requirements for subdivisions, and liberal construction
in favor of the municipality for any ordinance adopted pursuant
to state enabling legislation for local subdivision regulation.
In 1971 the Wisconsin Supreme Court again reviewed
Chapter 236, Statutes, which delegates powers to the cities to
approve subdivision plats. In Rodenbeck v. American Mutual
Liabilit Ins. Co., 190 N.W.2d _91-7-7-9-711T—the court at page 916
iscussed hap er 236 as follows: "While it is hornbook law
that cities, as creatures of the legislature, have only such
powers as are expressly granted to them and such others as are
necessary and convenient to the powers expressly granted, it is
clear, in regard to -plat approvals, that discretion, within
limits, was granted to the municipalities." Skipping down
13 lines in the same paragraph the court went on to say,
"Section 236.45(2)(b) (the same section referred to in Jordan)
directs that any ordinance adopted by a municipality shall be -
liberally construed in favor of the municipality. This reserves
to the city a broad area of discretion in implementing subdivision
control provided that the ordinances it adopts are in accord with
the general declaration of legislative intent and are not
contrary, expressly or by implication, to the standards set up
by the legislature. This is a grant of wide discretion which
a municipality may exercise by ordinance or appropriate resolution."
In 1960 the New York Supreme Court in Gulest Associates, Inc.
v. Town of Newburgh, 25 Mise.2d 1004, 209 N.Y.S.2d 729, discussed
dedication for fee S_
of dedication. The Gulest case
provides that the requirements must not only represent the needs
of the particular subdivision but that the advantages of the
requirement must directly benefit this subdivision. The question
of "who benefits" is particularly important in c:::;es dealing
with fees—in-lieu.
El
11
Again in 1966 the New York Supreme Court in JenadInc. v.
Village of Scarsdale, 18 N.Y.2d 78, 218 N.E.2d 673, 271 N.Y.S. d
55 (1966), examined dedication or fees -in -lieu of dedication.
In this decision the New York Court went even a step further.
It not only held that communities in New York could impose such
requirements, but that it was an example of fine city planning
and therefore reversed the Qulest case on the grounds that the
benefit did not have to run directly to the subdivision in
question. The court stated that in such situations where
separate subdivisions were too small to permit substantial park
lands to be set off the creation of such subdivisions were still
found to have enlarged the demand for more recreational space
in the community. In such cases it was just as reasonable to
assess the subdividers on amount per lot to go into a fund for
more park lands for the village or town. The court found that
one arrangement was no more of a "tax" or "illegal taking" then
the other.
In coming to their decision in Jenad the New York court
cited with approval both Jordan and a-7 b4 Montana Supreme Court
case, Billings Properties,.Inc. v. Yellowstone County, 144 Montana
25, 394 P.2d 182, where a state s a u e requ re and to be
dedicated for park and playground purposes as a condition precedent
to approval of a subdivision plat and which statute authorized
the county planning board to waive the requirement in appropriate
cases. The Montana court remarked (page 29, 294 P.2d, page 185)
that: "Statutes requiring dedication of park and playground
land as a condition precedent to the approval of plats are in
force in one form or another in most all states." The court
said this at page 33, 394 P.2d at page 187: "Appellant does
not deny the need for parks and playgrounds, however it would
require the city to purchase or condemn land for their establish-
ment. But this court is of the opinion that if the subdivision
creates the specific need for such parks and playgrounds, then
it is not unreasonable to charge the subdivider with the burden
of providing them."
3. States where legislation specifically prohibit
mandatory dedication of land or fe s -in -lieu thereof. L was
unable to find any legislation that specifically prohibited
this activity, rather states such as Illinois in the Pioneer Trust
decision have had their statutes interpreted to bring about
prohibition of mandatory dedication. In other words, most all
states fall under situation #2 where the statutory language
neither specifically, authorizes nor forbids, but the Supreme
Court either allows or disallows mandatory dedication in varying
degrees such as in New York, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
In Iowa we fall under situation #2 where there is!no
specific legislation approving mandatory dedication nor is there
specific legislation denying mandatory dedication. The more
traditional requirements are covered by section 409.5 Code of
Iowa, 1973. These are sidewalks, paving, sewers, water, gas,
and electric utilities--all required before the plat is approved.
The newer kinds of requirements for subdivisions such as parks
would in my opinion be covered by section 409.14 Code of Iowa,
1973. This section is quite lengthy so I will just set out
appropriate sections and allow the rest to be read in its entirety
from the Code itself. Please read section 409.14 keeping in
mind the Jordan decision and comparing Iowa's statutory language
with Wisconsin's at pages 445 and 446 of 137 N.W.2d. The
relevant paragraph under section 409.14 is paragraph 4 beginning
at the bottom left-hand column of page 1830 Code of Iowa, 1973.
This section states that plats shall conform to the general
plan of the city with regard to streets, alleys, boulevards,
parks, and public places and be conducive to an orderly develop-
ment thereof and not otherwise interfere with the carrying out
of a comprehensive city plan. Additionally, the plats shall
conform to the ordinances of the city involved. As you move
to the end of the fourth paragraph the following language appears:
"Provided that the city council may require as a condition of
approval of such plats that the owner of the land bring all
streets to a grade acceptable to the council, and comply with
such other reasonable requirements in regard to installation of
public utilities or other improvements as the coucil may deem
requisite for the-protection of the pu lic interest. t is
last quotation is compared to the statutory language of the
state of Wisconsin contained in the Jordan opinion, it proves
to be very _similar. Chapter 368 Code o owa, 1973, also
contains language that is extremely similar to that contained
in the Wisconsin statutes and additionally the language supports
an interpretation of Chapter 409 that would allow mandatory
dedication or fees-in-lieu thereof. Section 368.2 Code of Iowa,
1973, states in relevant part the following: "It is hereby
declared to be the policy of the State of Iowa that the
provision of the Code relating to the powers, privileges,
and immunities of cities and towns are intended to confer
broad powers of self-determination as to strictly local and
internal affairs upon such municipal corporations and should
be liberally construed in favor of such corporations." "Its
provisions (Code) shall be construed to confer upon such cor-
porations broad and implied power over all local and internal
affairs which may exist within constitutional limits."
In search of the cases in Iowa, I find no authority
concerning mandatory dedication or fees-in-lieu thereof.
The objectives of provisions for mandatory dedication or
fees-in-lieu of dedication may be considered acceptable in light
of traditional subdivision requirements because they are
Intended to minimize the overcrowding of existing recreation
facilities. Most municipalities do not have the economic resources
available to meet the increasing demands of new development
for municipal services. As a result of new development, the
I*
City must respond by supplying the necessary additional capital
facilities such as streets, water, sewer facilities and parks.
Consequently, the nee¢ to reduce this impact would seem to be
a proper objective of the police power. Certainly these
facilities should be regarded as important to the general
welfare of any community.
Thus, the arguments that support the constitutionality
of dedication requirements are based on reasoning that the
need for this additional land is generated by the new subdivision
and that dedication or fees -in -lieu of land is for its benefit.
It is, therefore, in the interest of the general welfare because
it relieves this burden from the total community for not
depriving the new residents of necessary facilities.
In summary, allowing for the varying degrees of application
in the different states and in light of the authorities cited,
I feel that the City of Iowa City may require mandatory dedica-
tion or fees -in -lieu of dedication if the following standards
are adhered to:
1. The park required must be included in our compre-
hensive or general plan.
2. The subdivision exaction must be considered reasonable,
with regard to the subdivision in question.
3. The requirements must be attributable to the specific
needs of the subdivision in question.
4. The advantage gained
used to the direct benefit of
from the requirement must be
the people in that subdivision.

The equalization fee exacted pursuant
to ordinance requiring subdivider to pay a
total of $200 per lot in lieu of dedicating
land of that value for school, park or rec-
reational needs where village planning com-
mission finds dedication of land for such
purposes is not feasible is not a "property
tax" since it is imposed on the transaction
of obtaining approval of the subdivision
plats; if it is a tax it partakes of the na-
ture of an "excise tax" and does not violate
the uniformity clause of the Constitution.

Action by plaintiffs Martin A. Jordan
and James F. McMicken and their wives
against defendant village to recover $5,000
paid by plaintiffs as an equalization fee in
lieu of dedicating land as required by de-
fendant's ordinance governing the subdivi-
sion of lands within the village.
In October, 1959, Jordan and McMicken
(hereinafter "plaintiffs") commenced nego-
tiations for the purchase of a 7.85 acre tract
of land in defendant village for the purpose
of subdividing it into lots and selling the
lots. While negotiating, plaintiffs became
aware that defendant had enacted an ordi-
nance in March, 1959, which required sub-
dividers to either dedicate a portion of their
land or pay a fee in lieu thereof. Pertinent
sections of the ordinance are:
"In order that adequate open spaces
and sites for public uses may be prop-
erly located and preserved as the com-
munity develops; and in order that the
cost of providing the public school,
park, and recreation sites and facilities
necessary to serve the additional fam-
ilies brought into the community by
subdivision development may be most
equitably apportioned on the basis of

the additional need created by the indi-
vidual subdivision development, the fol-
lowing provisions me established:
"8.01. Reservation of Potential
Sites.
^ (1) In the design of the plat, con-
sideration shall be given to the adc-
quate provision of and correlation with
such public sites or open areas.
"(2) Where it is determined by the
plan commission that a portion of the
plat is required for such public sites or
open spaces, the subdivider may be re-
quired to reserve such arca for a period
not to exceed threc.years, after which
the Village shall either acquire the
property or release the reservation.
"8.02. Dedication of Sites.
"(1) Within the corporate limits of
the Village, where feasible and com-
patible with the comprehensive plan
for development of the community, the
subdivider shall provide and dedicate
to the public adequate land to provide
for the school, park and recreation
needs of the subdivision.
"(2) The amount of land to be pro-
vided shall be determined on the basis
of an amount equal in value to $200.00
per residential lot, created by the sub-
division. Such value shall be deter-
mined by the Village assessor on the
basis of full and fair market value of
the land. If the owner is not satisfied
with such appraisal, he may appeal
such determination, in which case an
appraisal board consisting of one ap-
praisor selected by the Village at its
own expense, one selected by the prop-
crty owner at his own expense and a
third selected by the two other ap-
praisers at Village expense, shall de-
termine the value.
"8.03. Proportionate Payment in
Lieu of Dedication.
"(1) Where such dedication is not
feasible or compatible with the com-
prehensive plan, the subdivider shall
i
in lieu thereof pb.y to the Village a fee
equivalent to the value of the required
dedication. Stich fee shall be distrib-
utcd as follows.,
"A. $120.00 per residential lot cre-
ated by the subdivision to be held in a
non -lapsing fund for the benefit of
the school district or districts in which
the plat lies, on the basis of proper
apportionment between districts where
the plat is in more than one district, and
to be made available to the appropriate
district or districts upon their request.
"B. $80.00 per residential lot cre-
ated by the subdivision to be placed in
a non -lapsing fund to be used for park
and recreation arca development.
"(2) Such fees shall be used exclu-
sively for immediate or future site
acquisition or capital improvement.
118.05. Determination of Feasibility.
"The determination as to the feasi-
bility of dedication shall be made by
the Village Plan Commission. The
subdivider shall however have the op-
tion of choosing to make payment in
lieu of dedication."
With fulj knowledge of the ordinance,
plaintiffs purchased the property for $22,-
000. Plaintiff Jordan did once voice an
informal objection to Gottlieb, village com-
missioner, stating that he thought the ordi-
nance was unconstitutional. Because of
the small area and the particular layout of
the subdivision planned, it did not occur to
plaintiffs to dedicate any land for school
or park sites. They proceeded on the
assumption that they would pay the $5,000
equalization fee in lieu of land dedication,
which fee they.paid by check September
12, 1960, and typed "paid under protest" on
the check. Plaintiffs then proceeded to
complete the subdivision at a total cost of
$73,896.98, including the $5,000 platting fee.
All 25 lots were sold between September,
1961, and April, 1963, for a total sum of
$100,000.

ri. Allocation and
All units of general purpose local governments would be eligible to seek block grant funding directly from
Distribution of
HUD. The total national appropriation for C. D. would be divided (after setting aside $50 million in
Funds
FY 75 and 76 for later addition to SMSA balances and after taking 2 percent off the top for the HUD
discretionary fund):
--80% for activities to be undertaken in metropolitan (SMSA) areas;
--2090 for activities to be undertaken In non -SMSA areas.
Metropolitan (SMSA) Areas--
Definitions/Metropolitan City: A central city or any other city over 50,000 population within an SMSA.
A limited number of towns with populations over 50,000, which possess powers and perform functions
comparable to cities, would be defined as metropolitan cities.
Urban County: A county within an SMSA which
a) is authorized under state low to undertake essential community development and housing assistance
activities In its unincorporated areas, if any, which are not units of general local government, and
b) has a combined population of 200,000 or more (excluding the population of metropolitan cities
therein) in such unincorporated areas and In Its included unite of general local government
1) in which it has the authority to undertake essential community development and housing assistance
activities and which do not elect to have their population excluded or
2) with which it has entered into cooperation agreements to undertake or to assist in the undertaking
of essential community development and housing assistance activities.
Basic Grant Entitlement --Each metropolitan city and urban county would be eligible for a basic grant
entitlement equal to the greater of its formula or hold harmless allocation.
Formula --From the 80 percent fund reserved for metropolitan areas, each metropolitan city and urban
county would be computed a formula share. Three criteria would be used: population, poverty (double
weighted, income figures regionalized), and housing overcrowding. In computing shares for any urban
county, there would be excluded the demography attributable to a smaller community (other than a
metropolitan city) within the county which is entitled to hold harmless commitments and the population
of which is not counted in determining the initial eligibility of the county itself --unless such smaller
community exercises its right to waive its hold harmless entitlement.
Hold Harmless --Each metropolitan city or urban county would be eligible for a minimum funding alloca-
tion or hold harmless amount, That amount would be the sum of --
loans advances received during FY 68-72 under each of
a) The sum of the average of all grants, or
the consolidated programs, except NDP and Model Cities,
b) The average annual grant made under Model Cities during FY 68-72, and
c) The average annual grant made under the Neighborhood Development Program during FY 68-72, or
during FY 73 for the first-time NDPs. (Grants or loans made to assist in recovery from natural
disasters, and grants made to assist in the initial implementation of the 1970 Uniform Relocation
Assistance Act are understood to be excluded from this computation.)
Model Cities --In determining the average annual grant under Model Cities, a spending rate calculation

A smaltor community with no formula share would be eligible for funding at least equal to the above hold
harmless computation if, during FY 68-72, or during FY 73 for first time NDPs, one or more urban
renewal code enforcement, neighborhood development, or model cities programs were being carried
out. Such a smaller community with a hold harmless amount could irrevocably waive its eligibility
for this amount not later than 30 days prior to the beginning of each program year in fat �r of seeking
greater funding from unallocated discretionary funds.
Phase-In/Formula--If a metropolitan city's or urban county's formula exceeds its hold harmless in
the community's first program year, its actual allocation would be subject to adjustment as follows:

FY 78, 79, and 80, any community with a hold harmless amount larger than its formula would have
the difference between the two amounts phased down to zero in three equal steps (2/3, 1/3, zero).

and of hold harmlesa funds to all eligible units of general local government within metropolitan areas,
the balance of metropolitan funds would be distributed among all SMSAs by formula, using the same
criteria as with metropolitan cities, but excluding the demography of all formula and hold harmless
communities within each SMSA. In FY 75 and 76, the $50 million initially set aside from the total
appropriation would be reinserted at this point.

report, HUD shall conduct a study to determine how C. D. funds can be distributed in accordance with
C. D. needs, objectives, and capacities, measured to the maximum feasible extent by objective
standards.
9. Loan Provision
The bill provides for federal guarantees of local financing of certain block grant activities. Loans could
cover the cost of acquiring and assembling real property, of site and other improvements, of interest,
demolition, and relocation. Administrative costs and eligible "software" activities would not be covered.
There would be no direct federal loans. Each community receiving a federal guarantee would, in
turn, be requlred to give Its full faith and credit commitment to raise the estimated proceeds from the
disposition of the real property and related items covered by the loan. The community would designate
a portion of Its block grant allocation to cover the difference between the value of the loan and the
estimated proceeds.
HUD would reserve 110 percent of this designated portion of the community's grant. In the event of an
unanticipated, major reduction in land values, the projection of estimated proceeds would be subject
to renegotiation. Other shortfalls from estimated receipts would have to he absorbed by the community.
In the event of a default by the community, and where HUD exhausts its legal rights without satisfaction,
[IUD would be authorized to offset any losses against future grant allocations due that community.
On an optional basis, communities could use taxable obligations to finance their programs in which case
30 percent interest subsidy grants would be available from HUD, funded by an authorization separate
from the block grant.
10. Completion of
Use of Grants to Settle Outstanding Urban Renewal Loans --The bill provides for a procedure to complete
Existing Urban
unfinished conventional urban renewal projects, particularly where additional funds are needed to effect
Renewal Projects
such a completion. The process could be Initiated either
a) By HUD, where it determines, after consultation with the LPA carrying out the project and the
chief executive of the locality, that the project cannot be completed without additional capital grants, or
b) By the LPA carrying out the project, after submitting to HUD an appropriate request which is
concurred In by the governing body of the locality.
HUD would determine the funds needed to complete the project as planned by making an accounting for
each project, taking Into consideration the costs Incurred or to be incurred, the estimated proceeds
upon any sale or disposition of property and the capital grants approved for the project. Where
additional funds were determined to be necessary in order for the project to be completed under the
existing contract,' the bill would authorize HUD to earmark up to 20 percent of the annual block grant
allocation for the community. House Committee Report language states that, to the case of communities
needing large amounts of additional funds relative to the size of their annual block grant allocation, HUD
would also be expected to utilize available "transition" funds (i.e. the separate funds approved for each
of the first three years).

14. Effective Date January 1, 1975. HUD shall establish appropriate deadlines for the submission of applications from the
various categories of general local governments.
15. Authorizations Three year authorization of contract authority totalling $8.4 billion, of which $2.5 billion could be
utilized in the first year (FY 75), $2.95 billion in the second year (FY 76), and $2.95 billion in the
third year (FY 77). Prior approval in appropriation acts necessary. In addition to the above authoriza-
tions, the bill would also provide $50 million for each of the first two years (FY 75-76) and $100 million
for the third year (FY 77) for grants to localities having urgent C. D. needs which cannot be met through
the operation of the block grant's regular allocation provisions.
16. Transition
I
Bill provides open ended authorizations ("such funds as may be necessary') for Urban Renewal (no time
limit) and Model Cities (extension limited to FY 75 only). Any FY 75 funds appropriated and allocated
to a city under either Urban Renewal or Model Cities would be offset against the total FY 75 C. D. block
grant allocation for which that city was entitled.
10% Advance --With respect to the program period beginning January 1, 1975, HUD may advance, to
metro. cities, urban counties, or hold harmless communities, up to 10 percent of their entitlement only
for use
a) to continue ongoing activities under one of the consolidated programs, or
b) to plan and prepare for the implementation of the C. D. activities.

RE: Progress Report for the Government Space and Facilities Study
Dear Board and Council Members:
Attached for your consideration is the first quarterly progress
report of the "Government Space and Facilities Study." This
project was authorized through a -special contract between the
Regional Planning Commission, the Board of Supervisors of Johnson
County and the City of Iowa City.
The purpose of this report is to apprise the affected jurisdictions
of the progress to date on the study. Currently, the project is
30o complete. All County offices have been interviewed, and some
of the narrative evaluations have been prepared. The cooperation
extended to the Regional 'Planning Commission staff in the conduct
of this study has been excellent. It is anticipated that interviews
with City officials will begin within the next week.
The process of surveying and analyzing public and quasi -public
agencies will culminate in a -proposed building program,'relating
the needs, capabilities, and intentions of participating agencies.
During the course of.this-study, quarterly progress reports will
be submitted to Iowa City and the Johnson County Board of Supervisors.
In addition, these reports will be presented to the Executive Board
of the Johnson CountyRegional, Planning Commission, which is
currently functioning as the review committee for the project.
I feel that the successful completion of this study will greatly
assist in the development and coordination of a public building
program for Johnson County and Iowa City. I will be glad to
provide you with any additional information on this project if
you so desire.
Sinc rely,
Robert Hilgenbq;ik�'Cid

- -25Ali rih KU ua,v
The Government Facilities and Space Study is a special contract
project of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission.) The
study is jointly funded by the City of Iowa City and Johnson County.
In addition to these two jurisdictions, the study encompasses
certain related quasi -public agencies in the County. The total -
cost of the study is $19,142.00. The overall duration of the project
is estimated to require twelve months.
Basically the purpose of the study is to examine the space
utilization problems of Johnson County, Iowa City, and certain
related quasi -public agencies. More specifically, the objectives
of the study -.are as follows:
*To survey and interview the affected agencies in order
to determine current commitments for space
*To determine the resulting deficiencies in space
arrangements in terms of both current and future needs
*To examine the interjurisdictional and interagency implica-
tions of various space arrangements
*To evaluate the potential use of major public buildings
which are not committed for use
*To examine the implications of the proposed Joint Law
Enforcement Center, City Maintenance Center, and the
County's Information Needs Study
*To provide specific recommendations regarding: the
County Ambulance Service, the Close Mansion, and the old
Post Office and the County Courthouse
*To evaluate the.effect and implication of the Iowa City
Capital Improvement Program on space requirements
including alternate uses for any facility that may be
replaced
1For a more detailed explanation of the background and scope
or this project, see the following reports: Johnson County Regional
Planning Commission, "Study Design Alternatives: for a Governmental
Space and Facility Need Analysis in Johnson County, Iowa," June,
1974, and Johnson County Regional Planning Commission, "Scope of
Services for a Government Facilities and Space Study," July 9, 1974.
RELATED STUDIES
In performing the research tasks associated with the Government
Facilities and Space Study, it is necessary to utilize relevant
research efforts which have been completed as well as those which
are currently underway. The principal reports issued in recent
years which have a direct bearing on this project include:
(1) "Iowa City Capital Improvements Plan 1975-1979," (2) "Facilities
Diaster Plan for Johnson County," 1972, and (3) various reports
issued by the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission and the
architectural firm of Wehner, Nowyz and Pattschull relative to
temporary solutions for County space needs.
In addition to the above -referenced reports, there are also
various studies which are currently in progress. These include:
(1) architectural services by Wehner, Nowyz and Pattschull
regarding the proposed County Administrative Center and the Close
Mansion, (2) an information/data processing study by Spectra and
Associates, (3) consulting services regarding the proposed transit
maintenance -facility for Coralville, Iowa City,.and the University
of Iowa, and (4) a grant application to provide preliminary
architectural services for the proposed Joint Law Enforcement Center.
The staff of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission
will continue to monitor the progress on the studies discussed
above. Additionally, it is the intent of this progress report and
subsequent reports to solicit the comments and review of affected
agencies and individuals in order to coordinate this research project
will all related efforts

The Government Space and Facilities Project is divided into
three general phases: preliminary data collection, analysis of
data, and recommendations. This section outlines, in general
form, the procedures used in conducting all phases of the work..
Also included is an indication of the current status of the
project and a timetable for future tasks.
Data Collection
The first phase of the project, data collection, can be
divided into two subsections, research methodology and survey of
public and quasi -public offices. The initial task of the project
is to establish an effective and efficient research methodology.
Basically, this work involves the development and testing of a
survey instrument and the specification of procedures to be
utilized in the analysis of data.
is included in the Appendix.
An example of the survey format
The actual survey of an agency or department requires one to
two hours. In addition to acquiring information relative to space
needs, there is also an extensive interview with the department
head to determine the type of work performed, lines of communication,
unusual requirements, future staffing prospects, and other related
considerations.
The information gathered during the survey and interview is
then summarized and presented to the department for review. After
additional consultation, the material is then modified, if necessary,
and finalized in a report format.
Upon completion of the surveys; the data is analyzed in an
attempt to identify specific needs of the participating agencies.
This analysis considers the physical and financial resources of
the study participants, plus any expressed intentions, such as
the Capital Improvement Plan of Iowa City.
a
The data analysis phase of the Government Space Project may
be summarized as follows:
1. Information is collected regarding agency work
load, personnel, and current space requirements.
A relationship is then established between these
variables and the population growth of this area.
2. The work load to population ratio is generally
used as a basis for projecting future personnel
and space requirements of each department for the
years 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, and 1995. These
projections will serve as the base upon which
alternative plans are constructed.
3. Projections of personnel and space requirements
are made in light of possible technological
changes (e.g., consolidation of offices), legisla-
tive enactments (e.g., assumption of service by the
state), and the financial obligations of all
participating agencies.
4. On the basis of all projections made, future public
and quasi -public space requirements may be ascertained
and recommendations developed.
a building program which represents the culmination of many months
of data analysis and consultation with affected officials. The
building program should greatly assist local jurisdictions in formu-
lating and coordinating future construction projects.
CURRENT STATUS
To date, 500 of all participating departments and agencies
have been surveyed. Overall it is estimated that the project is
30o complete. All the offices and departments of the County
government, with the exception of the Sheriff's Office and Civil
Defense Office, have been surveyed and evaluated.
offices and departments surveyed is as follows:
County Assessor
City Assessor
Ambulance Service
Clerk.of Court
County Recorder
County Auditor
Zoning Office
Motor Vehicle Department
County Treasurer
Social Services Department
County Health Department
County Attorney
Veteran's Affairs
County Board of Supervisors
District Court
Visiting Nurses
County Home
Juvenile Probation Department
County Conservation Department
County Secondary Roads
A list of
It is anticipated that this
will require six weeks. The related public and quasi -public
agencies will be surveyed in December.
Beyond the survey work, the project will include the tasks
as outlined in the previous section. Generally, the work performed
during January through June (1975) will involve a review of
research findings, an analysis of interagency relationships, the
financial capabilities of the participants, and the development of
a proposed building program.
SIGNIFICANT ISSUES
There have been three developments since July which signifi-
cantly impact on this.project. These issues include: (1) a grant
application request for the Joint Law Enforcement Study, (2) the
new timetable regarding the sale of the old post office, and
(3) current County space problems.
Joint Law Enforcenient�:-Study
At the initiation of this project, it was anticipated that
the Iowa Crime Commission would approve a federal grant request for
planning and architectural services associated with the Joint Law
Enforcement Study. Due to problems encountered during the review
of the grant application, it was necessary to modify the proposal
to provide consultant services independent of the Johnson County
Regional Planning Commission. Additionally, the review process
has consumed more time than originally anticipated and it now
appears that the grant approval or denial will not be known until
December of this year. The potential problems in regard to the
1

services independent of the Johnson County Regional
Planning Commission, it is necessary that efforts be
made to assure the proper coordination between the
Government Facilities and Space Study and the proposed
Joint Law Enforcement Study.
The delays in acquiring the review of the grant request
pose a potential problem in regard to the scheduling
of the Government Facilities and Space Study. Since
this latter study encompasses all public building
improvements for Johnson County and Iowa City it is
imperative that the two studies coincide with one another.
Due to the significance of the proposed Joint Law
Enforcement Facility, it is necessary that the costs,
location and impacts of this project be known prior to
completion offthe'-Government Facilities and Space Study_
If the grant request is :denied, it will be necessary to
examine alternate ways of obtaining funds for the study.
Old Post Office
The second unresolved issue associated with this study involves
the potential use of the old post office. Recently the Johnson
County Regional Planning Commission was informed that the building
may be available for review by local governments by December 1, 1974.
The general procedures to be used involve the submission of a
potential use proposal*by interested local government(s). The
Johnson County Regional Planning Commission will offer assistance
i
to Iowa- City,°:Johnson'^`County;" andv other>:interestea local •govern-
ments in the development of potential:,uses.for the building. The
Johnson County Regional Planning Commission will also apprise
local officials of any developments associated with this issue.
Current County Space Needs
Under a special contractual arrangement with the Johnson
County Regional Planning Commission, the Johnson County Board of
Supervisors requested planning and architectual services to assess
various alternatives regarding immediate County space problems.
This work was performed in July and August of 1974 and culminated
in two reports2and a series of meetings with the Supervisors and
affected County officials.
The basic alternatives investigated include: (1) the lease
of the A $ P building, (2) the lease of a new building, (3) the
lease of 7,500 square feet in relocatable buildings, and (4) the
purchase- of 2.,900 square feet of. relocatable buildings. The
apparent.concensus of_.the::;Board was to_.select a temporary solution
to the current space problems and to consider the eventual construc-
tion of a new administrative center.
Currently the Board is pursuing the possible use of space in
the new Federal Building. It is anticipated that in the near future
the Board will be able to select an alternative which will alleviate
the current space shortage.

CURRENT CONDITIONS
The offices of the Board of Supervisors are presently located
in the basement of the Johnson County Courthouse. The 340 sq. ft.
room serves as work space for the three supervisors, office space
for the administrative assistant, and a conference room for regular
and special meetings. In regard to the functions performed in the
room, the space is substantially inadequate.
The absence of private offices for the Supervisors and the
administrative assistant is inefficient and poses a serious problem
in regard to confidential discussions. Also, the administrative
assistant's office in the conference room provides a difficult
working arrangement. The conference room is of insufficient size
to accommodate the attendance at many of the Board meetings.
ORGANIZATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
An organizational chart of the Board of Supervisors' Office
is presented below:
BOARD MEMBER i I BOARD CHAIRMAN ' I BOARD MEMBER
Reception $ Clerical ADMINISTRATIVE`.
Assistance shared ASSISTANT
with Zoning Department
The administrative assistant is the only staff person directly
assigned to the Supervisors. In actual practice the Board of
Supervisors utilizes the Auditor and the secretary of the Zoning
Department for certain clerical duties. Although the Supervisors
vested with substantive'administrative.responsibilities. In
actuality the Board functions as the business managers of the
County government and, indeed, the time required of the members
is in excess of 25 hours per week. Due to the type and amount
of responsibilities vested with the Supervisors, it seems appro-
priate to consider their need for private work space as similar
to that of other department heads.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER OFFICES
Since the Board of Supervisors is responsible for the
operation of all county functions, there is a necessary degree of
interaction between the Board and all county departments. The
strongest relationship exists between the administrative departments
and the Supervisors. The least degree of interaction is between
county functions which are directed by semiautonomous boards, such
as the:Conservation Department and -Veteran's -Affairs.
SPACE -AND -PERSONNEL. PROJECTIONS :.
The space needs of the Board offices are currently estimated
at 1,854 sq. ft. By 1980, it is anticipated that the office will
require a full-time secretary -receptionist. Also, there exists the
possibility of expanding the membership of the Board from three to
five members. The possible increase of the Board to five members
will require an additional 260 sq. ft.
