SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN: Chairman Madsen called the meeting to order and asked if there were any corrections or additions to the minutes of the November 26, 1974 meeting. A motion made by Ms. Cain and seconded by Dr. Ogesen to approve the minutes as written carried unanimously. Z-7424. Rezoning of lot approximately 80' x 80', R3B to C2 (vic. in 100 block on North Linn Street, just south of alley). Request made by St. Mary's Church for purpose of constructing a parking lot. Date filed: 11/11/74. 45 -day limitation: 12/24/74. ® Chairman Madsen stated that the rezoning request made by St. Mary's Church had been referred to the City Attorney for an opinion regarding whether or not parking could be allowed without rezoning. He indicated that at the informal Planning ® and Zoning Commission meeting on Monday, December 9, 1974 the Commissioners expressed reluctance to rezone the property if another way could.be found to allow its use for parking. Chairman Madsen suggested the church ask the City's Building Official to reinterpret the Zoning Ordinance and then, if necessary, appeal to the City's Board of Adjustment. He further suggested that, as a final alternative, the church could request the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider making changes in the Zoning Ordinance. 11 A motion was made by Dr. Ogesen and seconded by Mr. Galiher to recommend to the City Council approval of Z-7424, the rezoning of a lot approximately 80' x 801, R3B to C2 (vic. in 100 block on North Linn Street, just south of alley). The motion failed to carry by a 0 - 6 vote, thereby constituting a motion of denial of Z-7424. Z-7425. Rezoning of plot of ground, R3B to C2, on north side of Jefferson Street east of St. Mary's Church. Request made by J. W. Glasgow. Date filed: 11/25/74. 45 -day limitation: 1/9/75. A motion was made by Mr. Galiher and seconded by Dr. Ogesen to recommend to the City Council approval of Z-7425, the rezoning of a plot of ground, R3B to C2, on the north side of Jefferson Street east of St. Mary's Church. The motion failed to carry by a 0 - 6 vote, thereby constituting a motion of denial of Z-7425. Making reference to the December 12, 1974 Staff Report, Commissioners stated that the subject request would appear to be a case of illegal spot zoning and they were not in support of a change in character of the proposed area. Z-7426. Rezoning of tract, CH to C2, requested by John Lee and Harding Construction Co. (vic. east side of First Avenue north of American Legion Road). Date filed: 11/26/74. 45 -day limitation: 1/10/75. Appearing on behalf of the petitioners, Mr. Philip Leff said the proposed C2 zoning change was being sought because C2 parking requirements are less stringent than the requirements under the present classification. Mr. John Lee spoke in favor of the rezoning. Commissioners Madsen and Galiher indicated they reviewing the Zoning Ordinance regarding parking rather than rezoning the subject property. would prefer requirements -3- A motion was made by Ms. Cain and seconded by Mr. Galiher to defer Z-74261 rezoning of tract, CH to C21 requested by John Lee and Harding Construction Company (vic. east side of First Avenue north of American Legion Road) until the Commissioners have an opportunity to review the parking requirements for retail stores. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Leff stated that he would submit in writing a waiver of the 45 -day time limitation. A motion was made by Ms. Cain and seconded by Mr. Henry that the City Staff include in their analysis of the two commercially zoned areas at Scott Boulevard and West Benton Street, a re- evaluation of the Towncrest area. The motion carried 4-1 with Mr. Galiher voting no and Dr. Ogesen abstaining. V-7408. Closing of Madison Street between Washington Street and Iowa Avenue. Requested by University of Iowa. Council referral: 10/17/74. It was moved by Mr. Henry and seconded by Ms. Cain to defer action of V-7408, the closing of Madison Street between Washington ® Street and Iowa Avenue, and to request the City Staff to provide additional information on the effects which may be predicted to follow from the closing of a portion of Madison Street. Infor- mation is desired about the combined effect of this change and possible changes in the downtown area related to urban renewal and about what might be learned by the proposed experiment, alternate experiments or some combination. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Dick Wollmershauser, Acting Director of the Department of Community Development, informed the Commission that a rezoning application had been filed by the Reverend Robert Welsh, First Christian Church, in regard to Housing for the Elderly, Project Ia. 22-2. Mr. Wollmershauser indicated that the request would not formally come before the Planning & Zoning Commission unless the First Christian Church/Knutson proposal would be selected by the City Council. Ms. Cain questioned how the rezoning, if appropriate to be considered by the P&Z Commission, would fit into the time schedule for submission to Housing and Urban Development. Mr. Wollmershauser indicated that the proposal was to be submitted to HUD by February 25, 1974. Chairman Madsen indicated that an informal meeting would be held ® Tuesday, December 17, 1974 for the purpose of discussing the Residential Mobile Home Ordinance. ® Chairman Madsen expressed appreciation for Mr. Lyell Henry's service on the Commission and noted with regret his leaving. He asked the City Staff to prepare a memo formally expressing this appreciation. The meeting adjourned.

Eash surveyor will be responsible for one block, the blocks having been randomly selected from 5 strata. Each surveyor will choose 15 households on his/her block, being certain that the interviewee is at least 18 years of age. The total target sample is 500 persons; Sheran Matson advised the Committee that a minimum of 400 returned questionnaires is needed for data analysis. All questionnaires are to be turned in at the Civic Center Infor- mation Desk by noon on Friday, December 13. They will be coded this weekend. The Committee heard a presentation by Jim Shank and Alma Morse of Goodwill Industries. They proposed the purchase by the City of the 8,000 sq. ft. property at 26 S. Van Buren --the old "Me Too". The estimated cost of purchase would be $60,000; and an additional estimated $15,000 is requested for remodeling of the building. The pur- pose of this purchase and remodeling would be the operation of a workshop center for "Skills Unlimited". According to Mr. Shank, the City's expenditure would be a one- time contribution, as "Skills Unlimited" is capable of operating on a self-sufficient basis through its retail outlets. The facility is needed, he said, because Goodwill is being forced by financial difficulties to vacate their retail facility downtown. In response to a Committee question, Mr. Shank stated that maintenance of the build- ing could either be the City's responsibility (if the City retained ownership) or that of Goodwill Industries (if the building ,were handed over to them). No formal actions were taken. Respectfully submitted, Ira Bolnick Committee Member MINUTES CITIZENS' STEERING COMMITTEE FOR THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT ® December 11, 1974 -- Public Meeting MEMBERS PRESENT: MEMBERS ABSENT: Rogers Winder Amidon Bolnick Baum Matson Sando McCall Dalrymple The Committee members introduced themselves, and a background and brief summary of the Committee's task and the nature of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 were given by Ira Bolnick and Harry Baum. The meeting was then opened up to presentations from the floor. 1. School Recreation Facilities Dick Buxton spoke in favor of increased use of school recreational facilities after hours, stressing particularly the use of swimming facilities. He further proposed that the City subsidize the building of swimming facilities at the 3 ® high schools, which would increase the cooperative use of recreational facili- ties. 2. Removal of Architectural Barriers Brad Meyers spoke as a representative of the University of Iowa Veterans Asso- ciation for the Handicapped and of the Johnson County Commission on the Handi- capped. He spoke first of the need for removal of architectural barriers in Iowa City. Meyers specifically cited the need for better access to the Recrea- tion Center and to the City Park toilet facilities and pools. Parking accessibility was mentioned as another problem, as was the need for cutting of curbs to allow wheelchair traffic (especially at the corner of Iowa and Clinton). Secondly, Meyers stressed the need for more rational planning of any and all future building and remodeling in Iowa City. He asked that the Ecological Barriers Committee of the Johnson County Committee on the Handicapped be con- sulted before remodeling or construction is undertaken. It is particularly important, he said, that a regular liaison be established between said Committee and any Human Needs Planner hired by the City or by Johnson County. Jim Potter suggested that Title I funds be used to subsidize remodeling of Iowa City housing to accommodate the handicapped. Dick Gibson, University of Iowa, endorsed community attention to the needs of the handicapped. 3. Children and Family Resource Center Carol Fracassini, from the 4C (Community Coordinated Child Care) Committee, sub- mitted a proposal for acquisition of land and/or buildings for facilities for a Children and Family Resource Center. This center would focus on the delivery of health, education, day care and social services to children and their families. E Minutes December Page 2 11, 1974 It would house the Visiting Nurse Association (including Well Child Clinic), HACAP Neighborhood Services, and Head Start Preschool Center, and would provide services of other agencies on a scheduled basis. In addition, the proposal cites several new services that might flow from the joint use of facilities by the several agencies (e.g., nutrition demonstrations for parents using the day care program). The proposal cites the need for some 6,000 - 10,000 sq. ft. for the•proposed facilities and also requests the purchase of some 2,500 sq. £t. to be donated for an additional Neighborhood Day Care Unit in a high need area, which would utilize the services of the Children and Family Resource Center. Finally, the proposal calls a program for the Center in involved. This staff person opment might be the task of 4. Human Needs Planning for a part-time social services planner to develop conjunction with the 4C Committee and the agencies could be a separate position, or such program devel- a new Human Resources Planner (See below). Pat Hanrahan submitted a letter from United Way Planning Division, which proposes that the City apply for Advanced Planning funds under Title I, and that these funds to used in part for the hiring of a Human Needs Planner for the area. This person could be added to the City staff or to that of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission. 5. Elderly Needs Mr. Hanrahan also submitted, on behalf of the Johnson County Task Force on Aging, that group's recommendations for priorities, as well as a report on the recent survey of senior citizens in Iowa City. Mr. Hanrahan stressed the need for removal of architectural barriers, for the provision of medical and dental clinics for the elderly, and for housing for low and middle income elderly citizens. The submitted material also endorses expansion of SITES and SEATS services, the pro- vision of legal services, improved mass transit service to the elderly, and emphasis upon senior citizens centers. 6. Housing Fredine Branson called attention to a letter submitted to the Committee by the Housing Commission, which calls for improved service to the elderly and the handicapped by the transportation system of this area. The letter also proposes the use of Title I funds for the rehabilitation of Iowa City housing units, with some provision for ownership. Additional units for the elderly and for low income citizens is proposed, although these would fall under Title II. 7. Mark IV Social Service Center Mark Jacobson presented a proposal by the Mark IV Social Service Center, which calls for funding of facilities for the center (either purchase of existing or building of new facilities). Some 4,600 sq. ft. are needed for office space, a multi-purpose area, and day care facilities for 30 children; in addition, play- ground facilities are needed. The facilities would be used for day care, an extension library, recreational activities for children, a Breakfast Program, and activities of senior citizens, single parents groups, etc. Hopefully, the expanded Mark IV Social Service Center could serve Hawkeye Apartments as well. Additional materials were submitted to the Committee. ® B. Ralston Creek and Sewers Ken Haldeman spoke on behalf of the Ralston Creek Neighborhood Associations. He called for a thorough cleaning of the Creek, including removal of blockages (concrete slabs, rocks, etc.) and dredging of the lower reaches of the Creek (from its mouth to the Benton Street bridge). In addition, the Neighborhood Associations recommend the hiring of an independent consultant to analyze the problems of the Creek and recommend remedial measures. This consultant, said Haldeman, should be responsible to the already existing Coordinating Committee, which includes representatives of the Neighborhood Associations, the City Council, and the City Staff. Approximate cost of cleaning, dredging, and con- sultant would be $100,000 for the first year. A more detailed proposal is forth- coming. Helen Marlas called for study and improvement of the sewer system to relieve backup problems in Iowa City. 9. Civil Rights Enforcement Mori Costantino, from the Human Relations Commission, called the Committee's attention to the activities of the Commission. She said that a proposal for funds and short-term staff assistance will be forthcoming. 10. Comprehensive.Plan ® Faith Knowler called attention to a letter submitted to the Committee by the League of Women Voters, in which several community needs were emphasized: (1) An Iowa City Comprehensive Plan, with emphasis on human needs; (2) Mass transit; (3) Parks and open spaces, especially along the Riverfront; (4) Housing for low income, elderly and handicapped citizens, Code enforcement, and Housing rehabilitation; (5) Flood control; (6) Sewage disposal; (7) Child care, including preschools, lunch-time and after-school care, and drop-in daytime care for all children, to be available on a sliding fee scale subsidized by government funds. Special priority was urged for a Comprehensive Plan, which would include provi- sions for the other items listed. 11. Rape Crisis Center and Drug Abuse Center 11 Mary Coogan of the Women's Resource and Action Center called for funding of the Rape Crisis Center. The Committee requested further details. Another person suggested that the Committee consider funding of a Drug Abuse Center for Iowa City. 12. Mass Transit Jim Lawler of ISPIRG (Iowa State Public Interest Research Group) urged top priority for development of Iowa City's mass transit system. Ira Bolnick pointed out that the City's Capital Improvements Plan calls for considerable development of the system. Minutes December 11, 1974 Page 4 ® 13. Health Care, Cable TV Bob Welsh suggested consideration of two areas that had gone unmentioned thus far: health care and broad band communications. The Committee requested more information from Rev. Welsh and the Cable Television Commission, and urged citizens to consider possible improvements upon health care in Iowa City. The Committee was referred to the Hoover Health Council, who we intend to contact for their suggestions. Other letters to the Committee will be compiled in a separate list, which is attached.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND ACTIONS TAKEN: Ira Bolnick distributed a list of all correspondence to date, with Isa summary of the contents of each. This, combined with the minutes of the December 11 public meeting and a forthcoming summary of presentations to the Committee, should serve as the basis for a review of community input. The input from organizations and from the December 11 meeting should, in turn, be balanced against the results of the community survey (whose preliminary results will be reported on Wednesday, December 18) in determining this Committee's final recommendations. Bolnick called attention to a letter from the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, which cites the need for careful attention to historic re- sources in any comprehensive plan or use of Community Development money. It is the duty of the Mayor and/or Committee to consult the State Historic Preservation Officer regarding properties listed in the Federal Register and properties that are potential historic preserves, and to insure their viability in the face of community development activities. It is our understanding that the Old Capitol, the Lucas home, the old Morgan Optical building, and a stretch of Summit are currently listed in the Federal Register. The status of the Close Mansion is not known. Dan Rogers will contact Adrian Anderson, the State Officer, to check on these matters. Harry Baum summarized the City's proje-ted use of revenue sharing funds for 1975-1976, with an eye to freeing such funds for social services program costs. To our knowledge, the $105,000 for transit operating costs and the $75,000 for social services operating costs cannot be funded out of Title I funds. However, the following (we think) can be: Code Fnforcement ($15,000) and all proposed expendi- tures for the Capital Improvements Plan (Total $311,890), including Neighborhood park development; Public Safety headquarters study; Bikeways; Riverfront acquisition; Southside Park; and Public Library study. (The two studies could be funded as part of the Comprehensive Plan.) The Committee decided, therefore, to recommend that these expenditures come out of Title I Funds wherever possible, thereby freeing revenue sharing funds for social services program costs (and, if necessary, mass transit operating costs). It was decided that we would like the advice of Joe Pugh regarding such reallocations. ® MINUTES CITIZENS' STEERING COMMITTEE FOR THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT December 16, 1974 Page 2 11 The expenditure of Title I funds for planning activities was also discussed. The Comprehensive Plan, Human Resources planning, Ralston Creek and sewer studies, and planning for a Children's and Family Resource Center Pro- gram were mentioned as a few of the proposals the Committee has heard. (Others included studies under Parks and Recreation, Human Relations Commission, etc.) It was agreed that the Human Resources Planner, whose addition to City or County staff we have already recommended, should be made responsible for as many of these tasks as possible. In general, this Planner would be responsible first for coordi- nating existing programs and delivery of their services, and secondly, for the planning of specific programs. We shall make every effort to arrive at a complete list of planning proposals by January 1. The Committee is beginning the process of seeking further informa- tion from the groups who have made specific proposals, in an effort to arrive at a realistic appraisal of costs wherever possible. Our general plan, as discussed at this meeting, is to report to the Council in three steps: (1) Summary and critique of community survey, which shall serve as the basis for general priorities; (2) Summary of presentations (i.e., proposals) from groups and individuals in the communi- ty; (3) Our recommendations, in light of priorities and specific proposals --this shall include emphasis upon priorities which have not received attention in the way of specific proposals. Hopefully, proposals to fill these gaps will be forthcoming in future months. Respectfully submitted, Ira Bolnick Committee Member `r`�. -I LLA MINUTES CITIZENS' STEERING COMMITTEE FOR THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT December 16, 1974 MEMBERS PRESENT: Matson, Amidon, Winder, Baum, Sando, Dalrymple, Bolnick, McCall, Rogers OTHERS PRESENT: Dick Wollmershauser REQUESTS TO THE CITY MANAGER FOR INFORMATION OR STAFF ASSISTANCE: Thea Sando recommended, and the Committee endorsed, that the City investigate the possibility of setting up a County Housing Authority to administer housing rehabilitation loans for this area. Sharon Matson reported that, due to an emergency absence of the individual who is aiding in data interpretation, the survey analysis will not be ready until January 6. Therefore, the Committee requests an extension of its deadline for submission of recommendations until January 13. This should allow ample time to complete our report, as outlined in the minutes from the December 16 meeting. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND ACTIONS TAKEN: Harry Baum reported that (1) the City Council had requested from HUD $50,000 in advanced planning funds, and (2) the Council had authorized the hiring of Stanley Consultants for the River Corridor Study, and had allocated $20,000 for this pur- pose. This leaves $29,000 to be funded for the study, possibly from Title I. Dick Wollmershauser, Senior Planner for the Department of Community Development, spoke to the Committee regarding several questions raised at our last meeting. First, in regard to substandard housing in Iowa City, Wollmershauser reported that specific survey data has been gathered but is as yet untabulated. Based on HUD figures on substandard housing in various other communities, however, Dick is able to estimate the costs of rehabilitation to be up to $120,000. He said that $100,000 would be sufficient to set up a loan/grant housing rehabilitation program for the City. The nature of such a program requires further study: whether loans or grants would be needed: whether the concept of a concentrated code enforcement area" could be combined with a rehabilitation loan program; whether the City or a bank would be given the task of accounting; etc. Thea Sando spoke of the possibility of setting up a counseling program for the elderly, under the auspices of the A. A. R. P., whose function it would be to counsel homeowners on the options available to them. She also mentioned the possibility of establishing an elderly volunteer service program, in which the homeowner would provide materials and elderly citizens with useful skills would provide the labor. Secondly, Wollmershauser reported that the City Council has just constituted a 40 Committee to oversee the development of a Comprehensive Plan, and has authorized the hiring of two planners for a total of approximately $27,000. Dick added that the City also could use two technicians at an additional cost of some $20,000 to aid in working up a Comprehensive Plan. Regarding the Human Needs Planner whose hiring has been recommended by this Committee, Wollmershauser said that such an 11 0 MINUTES CITIZENS' STEERING COMMITTEE FOR THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT Page 2 individual's basic task would be that of coordinating social services. This would involve (1) monitoring of current services; (2) analysis of needs being met; (3) constructive planning to eliminate duplication and provide for unmet needs; (4) providing of linkages between agencies. These functions, he said, are to be distinguished from those of a Comprehensive Planner, who would provide linkages between services and physical resources and would be responsible for the projection and management of overall changes in the community. Wollmershauser said that under his projected plan, some $65,000 per year for two years would be needed for planners, technicians, and supportive services. Addi- tional funding would be needed for separate consultant studies, such as those contemplated for the Riverfront, Recreational services, Ralston Creek, and sewers. On the question of Ralston Creek, Dick said that the Soil Conservation Service has recommended diversion tunnels and impoundment reservoirs as solution to the flooding problem. The SCS and other previous studies have, however, each examined only one alternative, and an independent counsultant is needed for a comprehensive consideration of alternatives. Dick reported that there are plans to hire an inde- pendent consultant under the Public Works and Community Development Departments. He agreed that the consultant should work in cooperation with the Ralston Creek Coordinating Committee. Finally, Wollmershauser reported on current efforts to diagnose the difficulties of the City's sanitary sewers. He estimated the cost of locating the problems (specifically, those of illegal hookup of storm drainage) at $7,000; that of determining their severity at $750,000; and that of correcting the problems at $700 per house. Dan Rogers reported that he had contacted the State Historic Preservation Officer, and that a copy of the Federal Register and list of eligible properties in Iowa City was being forwarded to the Committee. A letter was submitted by James Harris, Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, regarding his recommendations for study of housing problems in Iowa City. A copy is being forwarded to the Housing Commission, and a summary of the letter will be included in the supplemental list of correspondence, which is attached. Finally, for the record, all minutes up to the December 16 meeting have been read and approved by the Committee.

These should include: (1) Evaluation of low and moderate income housing needs; (2) Evaluation of spatial distribution of housing, with effort to increase housing in central city --with local version of write down, use of eminent domain; (3) Use of Section 8 (H&CD ACT) for investigation independent of Housing Commission and City staff, in order to formulate citizen position; (4) Use of other federal subsidy programs (e.g., 202,236); (5) Investigation of needs of married students and of University's policy framework, with promotion of downtown married student housing; (6) Use of social services related to housing needs, delineation of new services to answer unmet needs; (7) Evaluation of feasibility of public assistance in housing re- habilitation. 12/18 Ralston Creek Neighborhood Association --Urge hiring of consultant for comprehensive Ralston Creek watershed management plan, to include interim and long-term solutions to flood- ing and sewer problems --Emphasis upon interim measures to be studied and implemented as soon as possible (e.g., dredging of accumulated sediment is desirable, should be quickly studied and implemented) --Ralston Creek Coordinating Committee should share the responsibility for formulating job description for consultant, interviewing applicants, is and making recommendations to City Council. December 12, 1974 The Honorable Mayor and City Council of Iowa City Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Re: Legal Department Budget Information Mayor and Council Members: On Tuesday the Mayor asked me to be prepared to submit to Council budgetary information on the cost of the operations of the Legal Department of the City. This information is for your use in the meeting to consider the Legal Department budget and the Mayor's questions about structure of the Legal Department on Tuesday, December 17, 1974. In accordance with the Mayor's request I have asked the Finance Department to prepare the budget information which is attached. The attached document entitled "Summary of Expenditures" shows the expendi- tures for legal services by the City for the years 1972, 1973, and 1974. For purposes of your understanding of the document I would point out that the "Salaries & Wages" line item includes the salaries of assistant city attorneys. The "Professional Services" line item includes the fees and payments to all special counsel employed by the City and the City Attorney. You will also note that the document includes amounts expended for urban renewal legal services. I would like for you to be aware of two things indicated by the attached summary. First, the City's total expenditures for legal services in 1974 will be approximately 6. 8% more than was expended during 1973. Secondly, the amount expended for professional services including urban renewal services actually declined some 8. 5% in 1974 as compared with the preceding year.

'HISTORICAL SYNOPSIS In order.to place the Report totheCity Council concerning the duties of the City Attorney in a proper perspective, the Committee believes that it is important to review.the expansion of the City Attorney's duties over the past fifteen (15) years. During the first part of this period, the affairs of the City were conducted in the old City Hall. The City Council met once a month with an occasional special meeting;.the City ;ianager.did not have an assistant; there was one City Engineer.for Iowa.City; the docket of the Police Court was considerably below the present level; and urban renewal and other Federal aid programs were not available. Following the removal of City offices to the present location there occurred coincidentally; (1) the purchase of the water company and the establishment of the sewage and water -operation as a municipal enterprise; (2) the filing of the electric and gas rate casewhich extended over a period of four (4) years; (3)'the enactment of a new comprehensive zoning ordinance and the enactment of the first Iowa City.subdivision ordinance; (4) a period of explosive growth in the City; and (5) an extensive street and sidewalk paving program. These developments resulted in a continual increase'of municipal services .which resulted in additional duties for the City Attorney, During the latter part of this period there have been further developments which involve the services of the City.Attorney: (1) council meetings are held weekly; (2). the activities of the Planning and Zoning Board -2- have multiplied; (3) changes in.the .State law increased City liability in civil cases; (4) the establishment of driver's license suspension regulations and improved traffic safety enforcement resulted in a sub- stantially greater number of contested traffic charges; and (5) joint planning with the University, other cities, and the county and the school board intensified. A variety of.Federal - City programs, including urban renewal, required close attention to .detailed rules and regulations by the City Attorney. From a historicalperspective.the.question arises as to why prior City Councils did not either.retain a full-time City Attorney or hirr2 additional help for the City.Attorney's office. Commencing in 1961, the City did grant the City.Attorney's office a part-time research assistant from the law school at the University of Iowa. The problem was partially alleviated by the use -of independent legal counsel in certain areas of city government, such.as the Airport. Commission and urban renewal. Further- more, the City increased the -amount of insurance coverage for municipal tort liability, thereby decreasing the number of cases involving the City Attorney. A second legal research.assistant was also employed. This is the first time that the council has made a comprehensive review of the overall duties, responsibilities and compensation of the Office of City Attorney. The committee feels strongly that the duties of the City Attorney have increased so dramatically in number and complexity that one attorney cannot perform. them. -3 - There has been an increase in .the amount of compensation paid to the City Attorney and a change in the procedure by which compensation is determined. At one time the 'salary of the City Attorney was based on a fixed annual salary but compensation is based now on an annual salary plus extraordinary compensation .for certain stated duties. The Committee believes that compensation for .legal services should be based upon the duties and responsibilities set forth later in this Report. II.. ISSUES The Committee believes thefollowing.questions have been raised by the City Council's.assignment.for the -Committee: 1. Who.does the City.Attorney represent? 2. What are the duties of .the City Attorney? 3.' Is a.full-time City Attorney necessary, is a part-time City Attorney sufficient, or is some combination of the two required to properly.fulfill.the duties of the City .Attorney? 4. Should the City -Attorney be the counsel for the local planning agency.in -the Urban Renewal Program? S. What salary.should be paid.to the City Attorney's.staff as recommended by.this Committee? -5 - Ill.: '.CONCLUSIONS The Committee has.reached.the.following conclusions in answer to these questions: 1. The City Attorney.represents-the citizens of Iowa City acting through its City Council, and.is.not legal counsel for the City Tianager:or-Department.Heads. It -is particularly important that.the'City.Attorney retain and maintain an independent status free from the.control of.the administration and answer— able only to the.Ci.ty.Council. 2. The.Committee experienced'.great difficulties in defining the duties of the City.Attorney',.and itis apparent that no clear definition of these.duties.exists*. For the benefit of the Council, the applicable provisions of.the Iowa Code and the Municipal Ordinance`are.set-forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto. The Committee'has-asked the City.Attorney to list the activities in which_he.has,-in.fact; participated as legal counsel'forthe'City.- These may be summarized as follows: A. Attendance.at all formal, and most informal, meetings of the City Council. B. Attendance.at special meetings of the City Council when requested by .the Council or City Manager, such.as meetings with the University, School Board, Planning & Zoning, and .other municipal organizations when.combined with meetings of the City.Council. C. .Attendance.at Board and -Commission meetings when requested, including Library.Board, Airport Commission, Planning and Zoning Commission, -.Board of.Adjustment, and participation as a member'.of the Police -and Fire.Pension Boards and Chairman of.the Joint Boards. D. Settlement of claims of less -.than $1,000.00 in amount, or litigation of .the same -where necessary. E. Performance as prosecutor for charges in Police Court, based upon violations of .the City ordinances when the same are assigned.for trial. .This includes review with citizens who may wish.to file charges themselves. G. Extensiveworkwith the Public Works Department in preparation of.contracts;".letting of bids; preparation of easements;-Quit.Claim Deeds, -and supporting resolutions; conferences necessary..to support public improvement pro- grams, plus the.collection of unpaid water and sewer bills. H. .Attendance.at.conferences'.on request for the organizations listed hereafter.: Provising opinions in the Community Development Department,.including Building Inspector and Housing Inspector;.Low-Rent Housing Coordinator, and Planning. Staff. Preparation and filing of charges' for violation of these.housing ordinances. Opinions are given regularly.to.the'.Board..of.Adjustment and to the staff of the -.Low -Rent Housing Agency.on eligibility under the Pro- gram, and.related'.matters. Preparation of leases for the Lm -P -Rent Housing Agency. Participation has been active in ..the:Urban Renewal Program. I. .General opinions, preparation.of resolutions, and general inquiries'.for.the-Fire.Department, City.Clerk, Finance Department, Parks.Department,.and City Manager. It.is the Committee's opinion.that a clear-cut definition of these duties is important.to determine which functions or duties arewithin the.regular salary of.the City Attorney, and which .duti.es:are the basis for-extraordinary.compensation. It is the conclusion of.the.Committee'that the -City Administration have unnecessarily required time expenditure by the City.Attorney and have oftea.sought his opinion on matters not requiring lega.l.counseL; but involving.general.administrative discretion. 3. The Committee recommends.that the City retain a part-time "corporate.counsel'' with a -full-time. assistant. The ti -me ex- penditure records submitted'.by:.the present City Attorney clearly indicate that. the .work.load -can readily be divided between a "Chief Legal. Counsel" .who'serves.as an advisor to the City .Council, and deals with the "higher-level".policy. decisions, and another.attorney.to.give.general legal counsel to the adminis- trative sections of -the muiu cipal government on the day-to-day routine problems which arise in its administration. -7 - The Committee believes that a full-time corporate counsel or "Chief Legal Counsel".is not feasible for -the following reasons: A. The need for independence.in representation and freedom from subservience.to the City Manager and other adminis- trative offices. - B. .The lack of tenure.and.legal inability of the City to provide tenure prevents.. qualified personnel from being available for thi.s.position. Itis the Committee's opinion ..that.the :."Chief_Legal-Counsel" for the City must be an attorney with -experience in.representing municipal govern- ments and highly-qualified.in general legal ability, to the same extent -that a,private corporation of the financial mag- nitude of.the City. of Iowa City would demand. It is the Committee.'s.opinion.that a -young lawyer without adequate experience.*ould not.be'.quali£ied.for this .position, and that the hiring of a single .full-time City Attorney would result in an inferior quality of services for -the City. The Committee proposes that.the duties of a full-time assistant attorney, who.could be.a.young attorney without the experience and maturity of the "Chief.Legal.Counsel" could be defined as follows: A. Advice to City Manager.and Department (leads on routine administrative matters. B. Representation of -the City on small claims. C. Maintaining -the Municipal.Code in current status. D. Representing the Low -Rent Housing Agency. E. Representing the'City.as prosecutor in Police Court. F. Providing the Police and Fire.Departments with educational training when requested. G. Presence when required.at meetings of the various commissions of the City. It- is the Committee's opinion that the full-time City Attorney should be under the direction and control of the "Chief Legal Counsel". The.Committee recommends that the full-time attorney keep careful time records of his expenditures, both for the purposes of evaluating his duties, and his compensation. -8- 4. It is the Committee's opinion .that neither the "Chief Legal Counsel" or the:full-time City -.Attorney should serve as legal counsel for the local Planning Agency under the Urban Renewal Program, and .that said Planning Agency should be represented by separate counsel:accountable.to the Planning Agency only. 5.. The Committee recommends that the. compensation arrangement for the positions of '.'Chief.Legal Counsel" and the full-time City Attorney.should be.as..follows: A. "Full-'timd,c .tv"-Attornev: An initial salary of from $9,000.00..to $15,000..00,' annually, depending upon the experience of the applicant. .The City should furnish the full-time attorney with'.a private office, secretarial services, -and a -basic -law library, all.located within the Civic Center. .It.is.anti.cipated that the "Chief Legal Counsel" would not have any law library -furnished by the City, butwould.utilize..the.services of the Law Library in the -Civic Center.. B. :Chief Legal Counsel: .The retainer fee should be between $12,000:OO..to.$18,000'.00..per year, without office allowance. This retainer.fee should be'a minimum annual fee, and the Chief .Legal Counsel.should maintain and submit annually his actual time expenditure..records. In the event the time expenditure records computed.at the :current Johnson County Bar -Association KInimum Fee'_Schedule produces a fee in excess of -the annual.retainer fee, said excess should be paid to the Chief Legal.Counsel.as.additional compensation. It is .contemplated that the time expenditures -should be submitted annually, and the.additional fees, if any, paid at.the end of each year. 6. The Committee.also feels .that it will be necessary for the City Council.to hire separate legal.counsel in highly -specialized areas, and that -it -should -not expect the Chief Legal Counsel to be experienced.and.competent in.all legal problems involving the.municipal.government.. The Committee will be pleased.to meet with the City Council to discuss these- recommendations in furtherdetail, or to answer questions posed by the Council or City Administration. submit -ed, `1� hilip Af � Leff, Cts' rman. 2.10.1-2.10.4 Chapter 2.10 CITY ATTORNEY Sections: 2.10.1 General Duties 2.10.2 Council Advisor 2.10.3 Prosecution 2.10.4 Records 2.10.1 General Duties.

Sincerely, Edgar R_ Czarnecki Mayor ERC: ckb Though it is likely that I will in my capacity as legal advisor to the Board of Supervisors have a good many future occasions to work with this and future councils, I do wish to make a few final remarks as a member of the City Council of Iowa City. Initially, some thoughts and suggestions at random: You have responded favorably to my recent suggestions for repealing portions of our code which no longer serve a valid purpose, if indeed they ever did. There are others, and I hope you will act to repeal them as well. Specifically, the city's curfew ordinance is both unenforced and unenforceable --more importantly, it improperly attempts to prohibit action without regard to whether persons or property are harmed or threatened. Such an ordinance is overbroad and unnecessary. The mayor's emergency authority is adequate for the only appropriate use of a curfew. The chapter of the city code which, by its title, purports to regulate public morals and decency ought to be repealed in its virtual entirety. The section on lewdness is likely unconstitutional. The sections prohibiting fornication, nightwalking and vagrancy do not deal with any legitimate criminal societal concern. An antiquated section on 'resorts" seems to make it illegal, inter alia, to be at a place where liquor is kept. The section prohibiting sale of contrceptives is not only unnecessary but also contravenes the present law of the State of Iowa. Also in contravention of state law is our present ordinance prohibiting gambling. All of these provisions ought promptly to be repealed and I hope you will follow through. As the Council expands to seven members, all to be elected next fall, the time is at hand to deal with and improve the ability of all people to seek to participate in the government of this city. Several steps are appropriate: (1) This Council should pass an ordinance and budget funds providing a salary of $300044000 per year for members of the Council. The time demands of this position range now variously from 20-35 hours per week. This carries with it for most people a significant economic.cost. The average wage-earner or homemaker is simply precluded from participation by these time constraints. Compensation in that range would at least help somewhat open the door to a broader cross-section of people. (2) The city should undertake a vigorous program to obtain a committment from employers to support employee participation in city government --both on the Council and its boards and commissions. Employers in this community are to be commended for long recognizing the need for a multitude of financial contributions to various concerns --but they must become equally aware of our need for the resources of their employees in city government d the need, therefore, to adjust and modify work schedules and in hatever ways appropriate encourage employee participation. (3) The Council must act this next year on a municipal campaign finances ordinance. Reasonable expenditure limits should be set both on total campaign expenditures and on individual contributions. A timely reporting requirement should be included. I also recommend adopting some degree of city funding for municipal campaigns. Taken together, I believe that these measures would better assure a parity among potential candidacies, a more broadly-based exchange on election issues and a more representative Council. There are two rather more general matters which I want to discuss: I have been, I believe, in the vanguard of those who have argued and worked for a greater level of citizen participation in city government --and we have made substantial progress. Much is left to be done, but I leave this Council confident that you will continue that progress. Without wanting to slow that effort, I do want to underscore an important caveat. Citizen participation cannot be used as a substitute for leadership by the elected policy -makers. Ours is, even at the local level, a republican or representative government. It is not accidentally so. The elected representatives and citizens themselves ✓ have a responsibility to create and maintain a citizen participation process which will discern issues and both define and refine alternative solutions. The citizen participation process needs the Council's involvement in it to be most meaningful. Likewise, the Council needs open active citizen participation to be truly effective. The process should not be one in which the elected representatives delegate their responsibilities --rather, one which improves and enlarges the abilities of the elected representatives to actually represent. This will be equally true under the new charter's provisions for initiative and referendum. Just as I believe past Councils failed adequately to understand the potential and meaning of citizen participation, so also do I believe future Councils under the charter could be tempted to relinquish their necessary positions of leadership in the face of new citizen participation strengths. It must be remembered that representative local government is fully compatible with a high level of citizen participation --but neither can exist very effectively without the other. More than any other single item perhaps, it is my hope that I leave with this Council a greater awareness of the total system within which it operates. I am an advocate of what I hope will emerge as a fully cooperative intergovernmental decision-making process. This decision-making process which we seek must be a partnership among governmental agencies at and between all levels. This partnership is, in one sense, what we call regionalism and extends to efforts to structure a system of close interrelationships and co-ordination between city, county, areawide or regional, state, multi -state and federal levels. The vast majority of substantive issues at all of these levels will most.effectively be addressed by such a decision-making process --this partnership among agencies at a given level and between levels themselves. This process will include local government as a full partner only to the extent that those in and supportive of local government and home rule support with equal strength their regional councils. Lacking that strength of support, regional or areawide problems will tend to be dealt with by the state and the future of home rule as well as the quality of the process will suffer. Regionalism is local power --yet this Council, not unlike others, has not yet fully realized the promise and potential of regionalism. -That full realization will finally come only when the Council demonstrates a willingness, when appropriate, to subordinate portions of its individual will and responsibility to the collective will and responsibility of the region. We cannot move forward together with other agencies and maintain a completely autonomous posture. That day will sooner come when it is, properly, seen as an enlargement of the potential of local government. Lastly, some personal reflection. I am grateful to the people of this incredible city for twice giving me the opportunity to serve them. I am appreciativethatthe members of this Council and the two past Councils have been willing to listen to new questions and new ideas. I am thankful for the patience and strength of my wife and daughter which have nurtured this literal labor of love for five years past. It has been a joy to have worked with so many competent people. You all have my thanks and very best wishes for the future. For myself, the first or perhaps the second days night has come --but certainly not the last. Another starts yet this week. I shall continue to work for a city and state that vision builds. It is, indeed, not too late to seek a newer world, but truly, we all have miles to go before we sleep. J.

Overtime Equalization 1. When overtime work is required, it shall be approved by the employee's immediate supervisor, and it shall be equalized as nearly as possible among employees holding like job classifications within a single departmental division. In assigning overtime, the person with the necessary qualifica- tions and abilities and with the least number of overtime hours in that classification will be asked to volunteer first.

Such leave shall not extend beyond twelve months, but may be extended with the written approval of the City Manager. With the exception of maternity and military leaves, the fact that such a leave is possible does not mean that the requested leave must be granted.

Leaves of Absences Without Pay, except in the case of leaves are granted or not. When an employee is granted a Leave of Absence Without Pay, the Department Head commits himself/herself to allowing the employee to return to work at the end of the leave to the same duties that the employee was performing when he/she went on leave.

An employee on a jury panel shall return to work for the balance of the day when the employee is excused by the court from further attendance, if more than one hour of the normal work day remains at the time of his/her dismissal from the court. Only permanent City employees shall be eligible for this benefit. Employees shall be granted leave with pay when required to be absent to serve as a court witness and shall be paid in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of wages the employee would have earned by working during straight time hours for the employer on that day and the compensation received as a witness.

F. Pregnancy Leave. Recognizing the changing nature of this issue, the Employer and the Union agree to comply with EEOC regulations and legislation concerning this issue. Disabilities caused or contributed to by pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion, and recovery therefrom are, for all job-related purposes, temporary disabilities, and are treated as such under the City's sick leave plan.

Employees who suspect they may have a drinking problem, even in the early stages, are encouraged to seek treatment or counseling on a confidential basis through a recognized problem drinking center. If the employee does not seem in complete control of the personal situation, the supervisor shall be responsible for the referral in conjunction with the Department Head and Personnel Director XV. INSU%.ANCE The Employer shall subscribe (at the employee's option) to a health care insurance policy with major medical benefits for the employee on either a single or family -plan pursuant to relevant policy procedures. The above medical insurance is to be provided at no cost to full-time permanent employees and will be provided on a prorated basis to less than full-time permanent employees. The Employer shall also subscribe to a life insurance policy for the employee to the next greater even thousand dollar amount over their annual salary. XVI. SENIORITY AND IMPACT OF SENIORITY Seniority is defined as the length of continuous service with the City since date of last hire to a permanent position. Seniority shall begin on the day of employment but shall not apply until the probationary period has been completed. New employees may acquire seniority by working six (6) continuous months, in which event the employee's seniority will date back to the date of hire.

Additional consideration for job reassignments, transfers, and promotions; b. Primary consideration in scheduling vacations and/or other leaves; C. Additional consideration in case of a lay-off situation, and prime consideration for recall to work. XVIII. SEPARATION BECAUSE OF CURTAILMENT OF WORK OR LACK OF FUNDS (LAY-OFF) 1. "Curtailment of.work" is a situation in which the need for the employee's services are no longer required because the City no longer performs the functions to which the employee was assigned, to the degree that the same number of employees are needed. "Lack of Funds" is a situation in which the City is forced to drop positions because it does not have the funds to pay the salaries of the incumbent employees. In the event separation because of curtailment of work or lack of funds, such reductions in force shall be limited to the department involved and shall be made in the following order. The order within each designated category shall be deter- mined by the Department Head's evaluation of the employee's relative value toward coping with the remaining work load of the department, giving considerations to classification and length and quality of City and departmental service. 1) Temporary part-time employees 2) Temporary full-time employees or employees on specially budgeted programs. l 5) Full-time employees with regular status. (Probation completed). 6) The Union agrees that the above sequence of reduction in force shall be subject to any City agreements regarding equal employment opportunity and any affirmative action commitments. Employees who have been promoted but who are serving a promotional probationary period at the time of such reduction in force shall be considered as holding a position in the highest classification in which they have completed the proba- tionary period. Employees separated because of "lack of funds" shall be given formal written notice at least two weeks in advance of the date of separation or two weeks of regular pay in lieu of such notice. The names of such separated employees who have regular status shall be placed on "re-employment lists" for prime consideration in case of call-backs in the same or similar capacity. The parties to this Agreement recognize that the right to contract and subcon- tract is vested in the employer. It is understood that this right shall not be used for the purpose or intention of undermining the Union, nor to discriminate against any of its employees. XIX.

XXII. GRIEVANCES AGAINST THE UNION In the event Management feels the Union has violated the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Management shall have the right to file a grievance against the Union in the form of an unfair labor practice through the Public Employee Relations Board. XXIII. GENERAL PROVISIONS A. The Union shall be notified in advance of anticipated permanent major changes and working conditions, and discussions at mutually agreeable times by the Grievance Committee shall be held thereon. B. The provisions of this Agreement shall be applied equally and without favoritism to all employees in the bargaining unit. There shall be no discrimination as to age, sex, marital status, race, color, creed, national origin, or political affiliation. The Union shall share equally with the Employer the responsibility for applying the provisions of this section. C. Employees appointed to `a permanent part-time position and who work an average of twenty (20) hours per week or 1,040 hours per year, shall be eligible for all fringe benefits on a prorata basis according to the 0 per week or 1,040 hours, per year,minimum. D. It is agreed that the Library Board's policy on extra credit for Sunday work be continued for the term of this Agreement with the understanding that the Union and the Library Board mutually explore ways to move toward uni- formity with general City policy on Sunday work. XXIV. PAY PLAN A. The classified positions and the pay ranges for all employees in the bargaining unit affected by this Agreement are attached as Attendix A. This classification and pay range will be reviewed by management on an annual basis beginning July 1, 1976, and updated if necessary. B. The transition from the current City and Library Board pay plan to the new pay plan attached as Appendix A shall be made on a step for step basis. The employees eligibility date for evaluation and salary increase shall be determined on the basis of the date of their last salary increase during the year 1974. C. The pay plan agreed to herein is based on merit. Employees will receive their merit increase on their eligibility date unless management specifically justifies the denial of such increase and such denial shall be subject to the grievance proce- dure beginning at Step 3. For the purpose of this contract, and without prejudice, management agrees that those employees who are currently earning a salary at the last step of the current pay plan as of December 31, 1974, and who would not otherwise be eligible for a salary increase in the transition to the new pay plan, are to be given a merit increase of five (5) per on their next eligibility date as determined in B. above. This additional step is available for only those who qualify as of December 31, 1974. D. It is agreed that beginning July 1, 1975, the City's compensation plan will pro- vide a method by which the overall salary structure will remain current with changing economic conditions that affect the income and wages of employees. This method will involve a cost of living adjustment that will be made to the salary plan in total. On July 1, 1975, the cost of living adjustment would be made to the classification and pay range plan attached as Appendix A and each step and each employee would benefit by the adjustment. The cost of living adjustment will be carried out by using a three year moving average of the annual percentage change in the consumer price index of the Cedar Rapids - Iowa City metropolitan area. The three year moving average adjustment will be made to the compensation plan on an annual basis at the start of each new budget year on July 1st. The actual adjustment will be determined at the end of the previous calendar year. The three year moving average of the annual percentage change in the consumer price index for the Cedar Rapids - Iowa City metropolitan area will be applied as an adjustment to the mid -point of each salary range. The resulting dollar amount will be then added to each step in the range. Each salary range would remain approximately 25% to 27% in length between minimum and maximum salaries. XXV. RULES AND PROCEDURES FOR FUTURE NEGOTIATIONS Both parties to this Agreement recognize that certain rules and procedures will be required for future negotiations. A. Negotiating Teams The City and the Union shall each be entitled to a negotiating team of eleven (11) members at each session. The eleven members selected shall constitute the negotiations team; however, substitutions and or changes can be made in the membership thereof with twenty-four hours notice. No team is required to have its eleven members at each session. For all sessions held during working hours, all Union members employed by the City shall have time off subject to availability as determined by their supervisor, but said time off should not be withheld unreasonably (4) City employee members on the Union team shall receive regular wages at each session held during working hours, the four (4) to be selected by the union team at the beginning of each session. An employee may elect to use compensatory time or vacation leave, if available, at the employee's option. B. Chief Negotiator Each of the parties shall have a Chief Negotiator for their team. Said Chief Negotiator so designated shall be in charge of each of the negotiating teams and shall be responsible for the conduct of the negotiations of his team as well as any statement or recommendations or reports and/or news releases of any matters discussed in the negotiations. No other member of either negotiating team may make any statement, recommendations, or reports or disclosures of any matters discussed in the negotiations. No substitution may be made for the Chief Negotiator without one weeks notice in writing and upon substitution all negotiations shall cease during the notice period of one week until the new Chief Negotiator shall become qualified. C. Executive Sessions It is understood and agreed by the parties that the negotiating process is a difficult process and subject to all matter of complications which may arise during the negotiating sessions, and that to hold the nego- tiating sessions in public or to allow access to the sessions by the public or the news media can and would inhibit, prolong and damage the negotiating process. It is further understood that any negotiations that are reached by the negotiating team are only recommendations which must be approved by the City Council of Iowa City and the Library Board on behalf of the City and the Union members on behalf of the Union. At such time there will be a full public disclosure of any proposed contract or agreement, terms, ordinances, rules or resolutions and the public and the Union members will have full opportunity to consider the results of the work of the negotiating teams. It is therefore agreed that all negotiating sessions shall be in executive session and that no one except the negotiating teams, and one person for each team to take notes, shall be in the sessions. The parties, however, may jointly agree to allow additional persons to attend any session to act as a mediator if the parties desire. All sessions will be held at mutually convenient times to both the Union and the manage- ment representatives. D. Proposals The parties agree to prepare written proposals as to the items they wish to negotiate on. Such proposals shall be in writing and delivered to the other side at the first meeting. Additional proposals involving different subject matters than the original proposals may be submitted at any time during the negotiating process. It is the intent of the proposals submission to assist the parties in the negotiating process by enabling each party to know generally of the other parties interests so that the parties in the negotiating.team may determine the areas of the agreement and disagreement and be prepared to provide information of areas of disagreement which may help resolve same. E. Impasse Procedure At the.conclusion of negotiations, if there remain items of impasse (non -agreement) either party may request mediation through the Federal Mediation and conciliation service. If mediation fails to resolve items of impasse, such items may be submitted to third party neutral advisement in the form of fact finding as the first step. If fact finding fails to resolve items of impasse both the Union and the Employer shall report back Within fifteen days after fact finding either the Union or the Employer may petition the other by written notice requesting arbitration for those items of impasse. Such arbitration shall involve binding final - offer arbitra- tion as the final recourse in addition to the recommendations of the fact -finder. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted by an arbitrator to be selected by the Union and the Employer within seven days after notice has been given. If the Union and the Employer fail to select an arbitrator, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service shall be requested by either party, or both parties, to provide a panel of five arbitrators. Both the Union and the Employer shall have the right to scratch two names from the panel. The party requesting arbitration shall strike the first name; the other party shall then strike one name. The process shall be repeated and the remaining person shall be the arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and the arbitrator shall be requested to issue his/her decision within thirty (30) days after the con- clusion of testimony and agreement. The rules of conduct under which the arbitrator shall administer activities shall be pursuant to relevant state statutes (Senate File 531) as may be modified by the Public Employee Relations Board, any subsequent legislation, as any Court decisions pertaining thereto. Expenses for fact finding and/or arbitration shall be borne equally by Both parties. XXVI. DURATION OF AGREEMENT This Agreement shall be in effect for a period of one and one-half calendar years beginning on January 1, 1975, and ending on June 30, 1976. It is agreed effective on July 1, 1975. XXVII': SAVINGS CLAUSE Should any provision of this Agreement be held unlawful by a court or administra-) tive agency of competent jurisdiction, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in force for the duration of the Agreement. This Agreement is subject to all Federal, State, and local laws; provided that should any change be made in any of these laws which would be applicable and contrary to any provision con- tained herein, such provisions herein contained shall automatically be terminated. If replacement provisions are deemed to be necessary by the Union or Management they shall be negotiated immediately. This Agreement shall be binding on the parties, their successors and assigns and shall be approved by the appropriate governing bodies that have the authority to bind the respective parties to this Agreement and the undersigned hereby represents that they have the authority to sign this Agreement and it has been approved by the governing bodies of the parties.

I have very much enjoyed my association with the other members of the committee and with the City Staff over the two years since the committee was formed,and"I believe that I have learned a great deal about broadband communications in general, and about cable television as itrelates to Iowa City; however, the committee has been inactive for approximately six months., I believe this resignation;` is timely; -there are a number of matters of citizen involvement'in which I am interested and I should like to be free to pursue -my interests and offer my participation. The economics and related aspects of cable television have changed dramatically over the past year and'I.feel that any future activity on the part of the city relating to cable television should take into consideration the multitude of new factors which have entered the picture and those which no'doubt.will develop in the future. I am in the process of,preparing my impressions and personal feelings developed over the course of, my membership on the committee and I shall submit them to you and the Council for your consideration in the future Once again I would like to reiterate my interest in serving the City in any role for which I may be qualified.

December 18, 1974 The Honorable Mayor Iowa City, Iowa Estad os Unid os De America Dear Sir: As a direct result of damage done by hurricane Fifi last September, most of our constituents are suffering great deprevations, which unfortunately involve, by last count, two hundred seventy four children. There exists a dire need for simple agricultural tools and seeds for planting of beans, corn and rice. We need to construct a simple, small building to school our ohildran in. To prevent hunger in the forthcoming year and to be able to :�.. educate our children we have undertaken the task to purchase the above items and building materials. We have pledged ourselves to raise 150,000 Lempiras (U.S. % 75,000). +•r We are in need of your help, as indeed we look to the United States as our salvation. By asking the communities in Iowa to send % 100 each to our fund we know we can prevent the possibility of a disaster which is staring us in the face at this moment.. We have chosen the communities in the state of Iowa to ask for help over others, because we feel you will understand better the disastrous effects of the hurricane on our agriculture and the basic needs we now have. It is our sincere hope you will, by return mail, assist us in our goal or if unable to do so refer this letter to an organization in your.town that can. Pompilio Ramirez V.

The same resolution author- ized the manner of financing with Mr. Frantz to advance the costs and later to recover the same when other persons utilized the sewer. I have been advised by Mr'. Hayek that in your meeting of December 10, 1974, the council voted.to "send the whole matter of proceeding in this fashion to the City Manager for study and a report back to the council before any further steps are taken". The purpose of this letter is to point out to the council that the delays which have already occurred plus delays which obviously will occur from the council's action of December 10, 1974,: have and will continue to create direct financial loss to Frantz Construction Co., Inc. Part Five Hollywood Manor is complete, but lot sales cannot be completed or house construction begun on that portion of the subdivision which is to be serviced by this sewer. The commencement of this subdivision was delayed for over two years pending action by the City Council; your file on this matter will indicate that on July 6, 1972, the City Engineer advised Mr. Frantz that the city was proceeding to condemnation. In our opinion, the city is and will be responsible for financial loss accruing to Mr. Frantz by the city's inaction. Would you please expedite this matter and minimize the losses involved.

This is at the rate of $1.25 per capita, but we understand that the Council will be reconsidering the original $1.50 per capita request shortly after the first of the year. Because of the tight budget conditions and delays in receipt of federal grant funds, the Commission is requesting payment on or shortly after January 1, 1975.

Policy No. 20 XN 21 WCA Dear Mr. Hayek: This will acknowledge receipt of the Suit papers on the above - captioned $32000,000 Lawsuit. I have now had a chance to review this complaint and consider it in light of the coverage we have on the City of Iowa City. It is my tentative opinion that our excess policy does cover personal injury in the form of racial discrimination if the alleged acts are proven, and a Judgment rendered against our assured. Since our policy did not take effect until January 1, 1974, it appears most unlikely that we will ever become involved in this situation. As we discussed on the phone, there is a good possibility of a defendant's verdict, and even if the plaintiffs obtain a Judgment, it is unlikely that it will exceed $1,000,000. Going one step further, even if a Judgment in excess of $1,000,000 was awarded, there would certainly be a serious question as to how much of the aUeged acts of discrimination took place prior to January 1, 1974. A further consideration would be the fact that any award for punative damages may not be covered under this policy. Taking all thinks under consideration, it is very unlikely that the Etna will ever become involved. However, we have a file set up and would appreciate being kept abreast of the situation as it progresses. We certainly wish to be advised of any adverse developments which may lead to our ultimate involvement at the earliest possible time so that we may make decisions as to whether or not we should obtain our own legal representation.
