Mr. Kattchee pointed out that this meeting isjust a discussion and a
final ,vote will be taken at the next meeting.! Mr. Hokanson reported
:that the Goal's and:Objectives are the first step in the planning
process in the development of a,plan and that the plan is also the
first step in the development of:a transportation network.. He said
the staff is the coordinating agent of all the efforts by the Iowa
Highway Commission ,and the two private consultants.
Mr. Hokanson reported that the Iowa Highway Commission under agreement
i
with the Regional Planning Commission does travel forecasts and mani-
pulates the travel°and traffic data based on various data sources.
He said that the work of the Highway, Commission is the only element
of'federal funding directly available for transportation planning,
except 'for `mass transit' studies:
lie said that the statement of Goals and Objectives included alternative
viewpoints ofthe various committees.';Mr.'Hokanson said ,that the
Parks, Recreation'and'Open'Space Goals were based on those 'in,the,
earlier plan !adopted by the Commission. in: 1970. He gave a, brief,
explanation of the other 'sections of the Goals document pertaining
to residential, industrial, commercial and miscellaneous land uses.
Caroline Embree noted that some of the Citizens' Advisory Committee's
points '+had been omitted from ithe ;document under consideration. The
staCl' noted that abefore the next meeting. forwarded to
any omissions would be corrected and forty
the Commission members
Mr. Ilokanson noted all three committees agreed with the major features
of the plan: i.e., efficiency for the''.public'and private sectors', to
confine deveXopment to a minimum relative :distancetothe center of
urban activities, the Central :Busines s'District and Campus area.`
There are three levels:of,'population density for residential develop
ment'outside of the central area: 1) medium density --10-14 units per
acre'; 2) low density --4-6 units per acre; and 3) very low density --
less than three units per acre.
Mr. Hokanson.said the other prime concepts in the plan are the
designation of,"holding areas" for, land not suited for: urban develop
-
ment within the 25';year planning period. He said the holding areas
were also proposed, as a device,,to restrict commercial, development
from certain' entrances into the city ;such as ;Dubuque Street, Melrose
(Avenue and the proposed 518-218 interchange -,at Indian Lookout.
Mr. Hokanson said the fixed edge of the municipal jurisdictions,is
a rima. recommendation of the plan so as to clearly; define the
primary
urban responsibility of municipalities and the rural responsibilities,
of county government. He'said!there were four problem areas in this
concept, being areas within municipal boundaries not proposed for
development: : 1) South of the K -Mart area in Iowa City; '2) Southwest
Iowa 'City ,where the Iowa city city limits extend beyond.518; 3) the
Coralville area North of Holiday Road and 4);that;portion,of Coral-
ville west of Highway 218. These areas are designated as area for
"urban reserve" or. areas for further study. ;
Mr. Hokanson suggested that the concept of a defined edge of ',urban
development is the: main item the Commission should be considering.
He said the next planning, step should be to concentrate on the central '.
area, where the plan suggests a goal of maintaining the central orien-
tation of the metroP olitan area. d
i
Kattchee,,l g was speaking as a representative'of
Mr, notin that he
• Coralville,-sf,ated'the plan does, not reflect .the interest,of the City
of Coralville'and that the Coralville City Council could not vote in
favor of any -.pian which excludes consideration of apart of the muni
cipal 'territory. He said that some developments have already occurred
outside the proposedlimit` of urban development. 'Mr. Bellamy added
that there is' 'a:drastic'disagreement with some of the areas shown as
"holding area's" already developed since some of them are in part:
Mr. Ka
ttchee'noted that in general the proposed Goals and Objectives
are generally acceptable, but that the exclusion of apart,
of
Coralville from development is the main item of disagreement.
Mr. Dane asked 'about the function of the "holding areas."Mr. Hokanson,
explained that they are essentially one:step beyond Priority 3 and
are proposed not to be developed during the 25 year planning period,
s
but tha these shoul'd'be distinguied from proposals for the permanent
open space network:
Mr. Kat;tchee reported that Coralville had drawn up an alternative
but it was not accepted by the Policy and Technical. Committees.
Mr. Bartel suggested that Coralville should present its compromise
proposal to the whole Commission.
Mr. White notled that the Committees are aware of the disagreement
with'"Coralville and had discussed at length;this;issue. Mr. Gibson
said the process by -.,which ,the plan has beendeveloped is basic to
the,fundings;and the proposals, primarily being a plan to `match pop-
ulation projections: There was'a sequential approach. Mr.: White
said the ,approach was to 'determine how much land needed to accomo-
date the predicted population growth, and allocate:that land con-
tiguous to existing land uses, in which case extending the 'line to
engulf thetotal Coralville area would not be; !consistentwith this
basic: premise. Mr. White added ;that the areas within the dotted
line would be, ref erred to the Land Use' -.Water Resources Committee for
a
'further detailed study.' He also added that CoralviIle agreed that
if the land within the dotted line were included :in the plan, it
would not be''considered;.first priority.
The question'',of possible rezoning to lower economic uses was dis-
cussed`and Mr. Vestal observed that,while such rezoning may be
legally possible it'would entailvigorous political' battles. It
was; also pointed out in the ensuing discussion that existing zoning
is largely .consistent ;with the plan.
It was the general consensus of the Commission that a special meeting
should be scheduled to discuss in further detail:the Land Use Plan.
Mr'.''Kattchee'<scheduled the special meeting for May 2, 1973 at 7:30 P.M.
Citizens' Advisory Committee Report:
Mr. Hilgenberg reported that the CAC had passed several motions and
ration.' the
forwarded them to the Commission for consideration.' He said
CAC motions deal with the location of County offices and; the proposed
relocation,plaas!:to meet their 'space needs., The first motion ;was
directed to the Executive Board and it'has been discussed by that
body.; Mr. Kattchee added the: Board discussed the proposed county
move to the'Peppridge Farm building south of Iowa City at great
length and felt that the.move,is undesirable on a long-range
-4 �..
basis. and should be considered only on'a short-range basis and the
• off ices'; should return to the central business; district as; sooas
possiblen
. Mr. Vestal added this',move would involve 'all offices
P t, county attorney, ;and the sheriff.
except the courts, clerk of court;
Robert Burns, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, presented a
detailed review of what the move would entai
1, and the cost. Fie
noted that the :building would be-leased on a 5-7 year basis, with
the option to buy, at a rental price of $99,000 a year. He said
that the total cost would be approximately $2:00 per square foot.
Mr. Burns added that the move back to the CBD is dependent on
whether the public will accept the new location as-permanent and the
problem of transportation could possibly be resolved by a shuttle
existing location to the new location on 'a
arrangement between the
regular. basis.
Mr. Ililgenberg reported that the two motions recommended by the ;CAC
requested that the Board of Supervisors consider the move as tempor-
ary and thatl'otherpossible locations be considered before the move
actually takes place.
Mr. Shoemaker moved and Mr. Vestal seconded a motion that the
and"contact the Board of Supervisors to inform them of
rxethecCAC'�'s concerns'. The motion carried.
Mr.,Kattchee.pointed out that the proposed land use goals and objec-
tives,do state that',governmental funcrions'such as .this should be
located in the Central Business"District.
Mr.,Ifilgenberg reported another motion from the CAC recommending',
consideration by the Commission,'' of strong support for a County
wide 'land usePlan,to be developed
ed and adoptedted as soon as,
possible..
Ile said the:Executive Board has been discussion this subject, and
the staffsuggests that the matter be referred to ,the Executive
Board for continued consideration. Ms. Cilek moved and'Ms. Patrick
seconded 'a motion that the request be referred to the Executive`
Board;;,the motioncarried.
Mr. Hilgenberg reported another'' motion by the CAC dealt.`with the
item 'previously discussed by th'e Commission ;concerning the specific
zoningapplication for gravel extraction,.in which ;case 'the CAC'
requests that the Commission reconsider their action and 'direct the
Land °Use Committee to study the"question. Mr. Hilgenberg added
that the Land Use-Water Resource Committee has already discussed
this matter and the vote ended;in a tie. MS-1,Davidsen speaking for
the CAC, requested a clarification as to whether the action taken
by the Commission forbids the Committee from taking up individual
zoning requests. Mr. Vestal explained that,, the matter of specific
zoning requests is related to the planning ,needs for that use ona
county-wide basis, thus the question of one rezoning for,-a gravel
pit must be'studied in the context of:county-wide extraction policies.
• Mr. Hilgenberg added that it is the policy of the Commission not to
take up every zoning application received. He added that Mr. Bartel,`
had requested the Executive ',Board to consider this particular
zoning request. Mr. White noted that,Commi£tee.agendas'are open and

Chairman Mear don called the meeting to order at 8:00 P.M.
Mr. Welt moved that 'the minutes of May 2, 1973 be approved
as ,'corrected. Mr. Corrigan; seconded and the motion passed
unanimously.
Discussion next centered on S:ction 4.02, Accountability and
Removal of the City ,Manager. The, idea :behind 'thissection was
ol
in'case ''a Manager was terminated without notice
he would receive I
some compensation so 'that 'he could have financial security be-
tween jobs. Mr. Corrigan :moved the adoption of paragraph one,
reading,` "The City Manager,, shall be under.the direction and
supervision of the City Council:and shall hold office at its,
pleasure'.' Unless otherwise; providedby contract, a'City
Manager removed by the Council shall receive, termination pay; of
not less than two months' salary, 'computed from the 'date of
resolution of removal." Mrs. Davidsen seconded and the motion
carried unanimously.', Mr. Corrigan move'd.',that the second-para-
graph of Section 4.02 read as follows: "Upon the resignation or
removal of the City Manager, the City Council shall appoint an
individual qualified, to perform the duties of _City Manager; to
serve at the pleasure of Council or until:
a City Manager is appointed."
Mr. Welt°seconded and 'the motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Corrigan moved that the first paragraph of Section 4.03,
Absence', Disability of City Manager, read as follows: "At all
times, there shall be a person to perform the duties of City"
Manager., In the case of temporary absence or 'disability of the
City Manager, a substitute' shall be designated as �ll
Mrs. Davidsen seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Mr.
Welt moved that Section 4.03 (a) read as follows: "When the
absence:or disability of the City Manager is known in advance,
the City, Manager shall, by letter filed with the City Clerk,
designate a qualified City 'employee as acting City Manager
during the absence of the City Manager. The,City Council may,
at `any time, 'revoke 'such designation and appoint some other
• qualified person." Mrs. Davidsen seconded the motion. Mr.
Meardon stated that the Council should be able to appoint anyone
they want as the temporary City Manager. Mrs. Cain stated that
temporary able to ,appoint a non-City employee
the Council should not be
duringthe tem orar absence of the City Manager because someone
i
should be appointed who was loyal to City policies. She drew
the distinction between someone replacing a Manager for a short
period and someone appointed after '.the;Manager.had resigned or
been removed stating that in the latter, the Council should
not be limited to City employees.''The 'question was 'called 'and
the motion passed six for and two 'against with Mrs. sCain and'
Mr'. Ringgenberg voting against. Mr'. Welt moved that Section':
4.03 (b), read, "When the absence or disability of the City
Manager 'is not foreseen, the City 'Council `shall appoint a
qualified person to serve as Acting', City Manager until the
return or removal of'the City. Manager. Mrs`. Davidsen''seconded
and the :motion 'passed five for and three 'against with 'Cain,`
Ringgenberg,;and Corrigan- voting against.
Mr. Meardon directed Mr. Rosenstein to prepare °a draft of the
approved Y g p" ,give it to Mrs of the City Council
And ofetheeCity Mana ereandwgi and dutie. Meardon for distribu-
tion to the City Council and the City Manager.:
Discussion next, turned to Article XIII, Initiative and Referendum.
Mr. Baldus stated that there'were.five areas'which.the Model
City Charter recommended not be covered by initiative and referen
dum: budget,; taxes, salaries, appropriations, and the capital
program. He 'stated that.he has deletedthe ,capital ,program
and taxes from the 'proposed draft because capital improvements
are a controversial issue, and allowing' these processes to have
effect on taxes would force a Council to prove .to the, public',
that their taxes were well spent. Mr. ;Corrigan 'stated that it
would be irresponsible of the Charter Committee to 'allow a
referendum on the tax rate because the-anti-tax elements were
so strong and they could cripple the operation of, City Government.
Mr. Corrigan moved that the restriction 'against -initiative and
referendum on the salaries of City:officers be deleted. Mr.
Corrigan' stated that the City Council's salary should be a possible
initiative or referendum item, although the salaries 'of City
employees, should not be an issue for initiative'or referendum.
Mr. Baldus seconded',the motion and it passed unanimously. Mr.
Co levy rri an'moved that the
g e of taxes should be added `Ito. ',the
Y.
items restricted from action by initiative or 'referendum. Mrs.
Cain seconded. The argument for this inclusion was ;that it
should not be within the power of the voters to suspend taxes.
The question was called and,the motion passed six for, one
against, and one abstention with Mr. 'Baldus voting against and
Mr. Meardon abstaining. Mr.`Meardon stated that levying taxes
was a positive issue but that the suspension of taxes might be
a separate issue.
• Mr. Ringgenberg asked if the intention was for initiative and
referendum toapplyjust to ordinances or to resolutions. Mr.
Baldus, stated that it should apply', to any Council action that
formulated policy. It was agreed t0replace the references.
to ordinances, with references to'"Council action."

Mr. Meardon asked why Section 8.01 was entitled, "Limitation
on Council Power. Mr. Baldus explained':that Section 56 of
theCity 'Code of Iowa allows Home Rule Charters':to provide
for the; powers and :duties 'of the Mayor and Council and there-
fore the :initiative and referendum procedures could be inter-
preted as being a limitation on Council, power. '-Mr.,Meardon
stated that this rlimitation should go under Article LII, The
City Council. Mr. Ringgenberg,moved:that the limitation on
the Council's power by initiative and referendum be placed
in Article II. 'Mr. Baldus seconded and the motion passed
unanimously.
Discussion next centered on' Section 8.02; Commencement of
Proceedings, Petitioners' Committee; affidavit .with'Mr..Baldus,
saying that this section was'necessary in order to make the
procedurevery, clear. Mr. Baldus cited the Model City Charter
which stated that the Article on initiative and =referendum:must
belcompletely;self-executing; since: detail could not be filled
in,by the Council. The purpose of,,these':procedures'is to Iguard
against the possible inadequacies` of Council. Mr. "Corrigan.'
moved that Section 8.02 be adopted as written with the addition "
of the word, '"valid,"`before the word, "Signatures," in para-
graph two. Mr. Baldus stated that any reference to'voters''in
thislArticle referred to registered voters. Mr. Welt seconded
and the motion passed unanimously.'
Discussion next centered on Section 8.031 Petitions and on the
number of signatures needed on an initiative or referendum petition.
The Committee felt that it would be better for the petitioner
if the Charter would specify'a certain number of signatures, thus
alleviating some of the confusion of the process. It :was felt
that if'. the population substantially,'changes, the Charter could
later.be amended'to reflect that change. Mr. Baldus moved that
the Charter specify that the petitions must be:signed by at
least 2,,000 voters of the City. Mrs.',Davidsen'seconded. Mr.
Ringgenberg moved to amend that motion to read at least 2,500.
Mr. Corrigan seconded and the motion' passed', five for _and .three
against with-Baldus, Davidsen, and Meardon voting against.
Mr. Corrigan moved that Section 8.03 (b), Form and Content,
be adopted as read. Mr. Welt seconded and the motion passed
unanimously.
Mr. Corrigan moved that Section�8.03 (c), Affidavit of'Circulator;
be adopted as lead except for the first sentence reading, "Each
paper of a, petition containing signatures..." 'Mr De Counter
seconded and the,motion passed unanimously.
Discussion was held on Section 8.03 (d), Time for Filing Referen
• dum'Petition. Mr. Baldus stated that this places 'a sixty -(60)
day limit in which to file a','petition.for'referendum after an
ordinance is passed by Council. ``Mr. Baldus stated that this might
not be a long enough period." Mr'. Corrigan stated that the Model
City Charter used a limit of thirty (30):days to assure that.

the effective date of an ordinance will not be delayed unless
the referendum 'effort is of serious proportions. Mr. Baldus
stated that the ordinance isnot suspended until the petition
is filed and the part that the petitions are being circulated
does not effect the, status of the ordinance. Mrs. Cain asked
if, there was a'-zoning, change passed by ordinance and then,a
petition was ,filed, would the zoning change be suspended until
the time of election.Mr. Corrigan stated that if the zoning
`change was more restrictive,' there could be irreversible harm
done during the
suspension. ° It was agreed to give this subject
one during
the
Discussion was held on whether sixty
furt(60) days was long enough. "Mr. Baldus stated that if the
deadline had passed, the voters could petition for initiative
on anordinance thatrepealedthe Council passed ordinance11
but that this would not have any suspension effects.; Section
8.03 (d) was tabled until further study ',could be made:
Mr'. Baldus explained that Section 8.04, Procedure After Filing,
provided for, exactly what was an improper petition, on what'
,grounds it could not be certified', and then provided for an
to increase'the number of
appeals process and a chance
signa-
tures on an invalid petition to the required number. Mr.
Corrigan moved that Section 8.04,be adopted as read except for
the 'addition of, "even though the petition nay contain one or
more invalid signatures," the addition of, ",valid unless," and
the deletion of, "(3) the 'voter was not given.an opportunity
to read the full text of the ordinance proposed or sought to
be reconsidered before his or her signature was executed. Mrs.
Oavidsen seconded and the motion passed unanimously
Section 8.05, Referendum Petitions: Suspension of Effect of
Ordinance. Mr. Meardon asked what the effect would be on the
referendum process'if the Council amended the ordinance. 'chis
subject was deferred until further research could be done. Mr.
Corrigan asked why, ',`if 2,500 people signed a referendum petition,
the five people 's committee could withdraw
on the petitioner
the petition. Mrs. Cain stated that this could save the expense
of reason the referendum was no
f the election if there wasso
longer, needed. Section 8.05 was '',tabled.
Section 8.06, Action on Petitions provides that once the petition
is'deemed sufficient, the Council has a time,,period,in which to
reconsider their action. -Mr. Meardon asked if it were possible
to have just initiative but not ,referendum and if that reduced the
complication of the process. Mr'. Meardon said that'you can
accomplish the same things with initiative as you can with !refer-.
endum..', MrBaldus'stated`that'the only difference would be the
mes with referendum.

• also stated,that an,amendment to, an ordinance would not affect

Discussion centered around the',sub-committee on Boards and
Commissions proposed draft of the article on'',Boards'and Commissions.
Makin if You believe in the objective of Mrs. Davidsen stated that
Making more responsive to the people, then the use
Of Boards and; Commissions is a way of bringing citizen input

Mrs. Cain 'stated that doing this was .counter';to the philosophy
that the Charter Committee had been operating under since they
had been, attemptingto keep, the Charter fairly general and now
the Charter_Committee is getting specific.Mr. Baldus stated
that if members of ,the Charter Committee believed that there

to act on these matters but hasn't, then these things should
be in the Charter. !Mr. Baldus stated that these provisions,

Mr. Meardon stated that repeating Boards, Commissions, and
Committees was too unwieldy and,th'ere should be some shorter
term to refer to them:Mr. Baldus stated that there was need
of a general definitions section. 'Mr..Rosenstein was directed
to prepare such a section for Committee approval.
Mr. Baldus stated that too often Boards and Commissions have
been "closed _groups with not broad 'enough representation. -Mr.
Baldus stated that the Charter should require that notices of
openings be given and that there" should be some'procedure'for
assuring an equal distribution of opinion.
Discussion was held on whether there should be a separate
article on Boards and Commissions'' in the Charter. Mrs. David -
sen said there be so people could 'see the
Charter's commitment to citizen, participation in government
and ,this -would help"establishfBoards and Commission as,a third
branch of Cty,government. Mr. Baldus moved that there be
something on Boards and ,Commissions in the Charter. "Mrs.!
Davidsen seconded and the motionp assedl,six to two with De Counter

Mr. Meardon stated that the Charter should require the full
Council to appoint the Boards and Commissions. Mr.' Rosenstein
stated lthat 'this ",requirement could 'be'
in conflict with State
Law becauseDivision, provides that `the City`Council,shall
provide for the method of appointment of the Boards and
Commissions. Mr. Meardon stated that if ',the Charter is a
separate,form of government, then this provision does not apply
to a Home Rule Charter. Mr. Baldus moved that "The City
Council shall appoint members of the City's Boards, Commissions',
and, Committees," be placed in Section 2.08 (d)'.; Mr. De Counter

seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The Charter Committee requested the sub -committee to rework
Section 5.03,', Rules and Procedures.
The Charter Committee decided that Section 5.04, Staff Assistance,
be deleted because it would be covered by the addition of the

1 + US SERVICE IN IOWA CITY USING 2 ADDITIONAL BUSES
A SUGGESTED PLANII�R EXFt11DED B :, _
EAST OF TBE RIVER:
1. Setup a new bus route, named perhaps "Kirkwood" or "Industrial, said bus
to go bbth inbound and outbound oder the following streets: Washington;
Gilbert; College;Summit; Court; Oakland; Sheridan; Summit; Kirkwood
Avenue; ,Lower Muscatine ,Road to Bon Aire Trailer Court.'
2. Provide service to the areas
im roved marked "A "B" and "C" on the
p
maps by just a little better utilization of. the buses we already have, viz:
Improve service to area "A" by letting Improve service to Area "B" by letting
the inbound Towncrest bus stay on Wayne the inbound East College bus stay on
.'s then I Friendship Bt. until it reaches Third
Ave. until it reaches First Ave
north on First Ave. to Muscatine Ave. Ave., then north on Third Ave.to'Court St.l
.mac .rxvavr,y�•–__ .-__.,�,r..�.----�.— -
Improve service to Area "C" as follows:
1, As soon as Muscating,live. is again open to traffic, take the Towncrest
bus off of "crazy time" (where it has been since April'2, 1973) and get it back
e will no longer need to, miss
ule`so that passengers P
e ched P E
s
r
0 minute
on the regular 3
transfer connections with other ,lines. (crazy time" is one bus every 35 minutes
d uring rush hours.) 2. Again route the outbound Towncrest
MnIM10M1 ' OWNCREST
bus over Muscatine Ave. between
j Rundell and F Streets. This change
would again give good bus service to
'wx .." BOi .* ..+ • i r' an area which.. always had good bus
w au r' f service during the many ,years that
the system was under private owner-
�i ship; and also from November. 1971.
g, to May 1, 1972.,under city ownership.
This Muscatine Ave. route. being
shorter and much eR.rier to drive than
the round -about route of Rundell,'
Sheridag,,Seventh and F. the drivers

k
the• need to make the round trip :

In 30 minutes.
im",.:nTre4s�6St1-
In making the above suguestions I realize that Mr.'Fappas doesn't like long
sloop" r'.nd that he doern''t like "loops in the middle", but there are areas where
nervice'to the people is far more important than "loops". nd°Auras '!A" "F" and
are such arear,. Besides, the 'North Dodge route shows that there is nothing wrong
�zge4•
with "loops". From Clinton Street on. that route is nothing more than two
long loops; yet it serves more area.: in proportion to its length, than any
other route in town.
I also realize that Mr. Fappas likes 2 -way service bettor than 1 -way
service. ?::ore than one-third of Iowa City's bus route mileage is'one-way be-
cause both_ .,tYPes of service have their pi oo
er place. - Again, a' good le
g , g example
is the North Dodge route, which is 1 -way all the way from Clinton'St..to the
end of the line and back ,again. That is what makes it possible i,tr.poxxzbta for
that route to serve such a large area in proportion to its length.Many of the
streets on this route are so close together that most of the ,people can go down
town the short way, both inbound and outbound, if once each round trip they walk
an extra block or two or three.' Transfering back when going; in the opposite
direction can be avoiaed: in the ',same 'way. The situation would be the same in
the A. B, C areas. I realize that North Dodge St. and i:orth Governor Streets
are one-p:ay streets. They make such a' good bus route that maybe we should
y
have more one-wstreets.
There are things worse than being on street with l-wayservice, and the
streets surrounding the small triangle of land marked 'IX" on Illustration "C"
are a good example. The'people,in the area of the Muscatine Avenue short-cut
would have reason to be very happy with 1 -way eervice,land I am confident they
would be. We,on.the round -about streets,would''be farlbetter off with oneway
service on the Towncrest route than with 2-way,mervice''lon a'route such as the.
proposed Rundell route. Because''ef the railroed:tracks on First Avenue, that
proposed Rundell' route would be entirely undependable.'; No one would be able
to predict as be when a bus would be on a corner at the scheduled time or, when
it would be ,standing on the other side of the tracks waiting for a long, slow-
moving freight train to, pass. People who use First Avenue report that they:
have been held up for 20 minutes'sometimes even: longer, because at that point
the freights have not yet gained full speed -- and some of them have 100 cars.
We, on the round -about streets, have always stood ready to share ,e; bus with
our Muscatine Avenue neighbors, as we did for so many years.,
HEST OF THE IOr!A HIVr;R:-_-------__----------r--------
1 Per the companion route to ,the proposed Kirkwood route. set up a
route to serve Wardway, the Airport. the 'County offices in the
Fepperidge building'nnd the residential areas of the Bailey .Ie Heck'
Addition, the Dou,las Court area. Giblin Drive, M;chael Streot
re s, and the 200-600 blocks of West Benton Street.'' This route
could be covered in 30 minutes. (There might even be time Por a
little 'side trio up Myrtle Avenue and `back on the outbound route,)

Tim:
I am sure You feel a lot better after your diatribe yesterday
against me at the City ,Council meeting.
From the anger your expressed in your face, and the quick and
accurate itemization of my past and present political activities,
you have apparently been waiting for some time to express yourself
about me.'
I believes
it was a momentary frustration on your
.part. You n

conduct yourself with cool and 'aplomb. Tuesday eras so untypical..
I would be more than happy to discuss with you my activities in
the community--you apparently read the local papers carefully.
As VvP said to numerous persons, Mayor Brandt is a reasonable
and fair person. I believe that deeply. 11 You pride yourself on your
fairness and correctness tc all.
However, as the spokesperson for PAT'--representing over 15,000
persons in Iowa City--it is my duty to press the tenants, cause.` That's
why PAT hired, me.
You must represent a myriad of the town1s'interests. Therefore, it
see:-,s inevitable we will disagree--on many issues and ofl.en.
I Feli.eve very sl,rongly that Tuesday was an aherrati.on--a froak

Gentlemen:
As a result Of Mayor Brandt's outbarst, his personal assault --his
itemization of my many community activities during the past several
months("attacks on the bar association, Student Publications; Inc.,
U of I Administration., etc.) -I believe the message is crystal 'clear:
keeph
� back, keep quie�.
I approached the City Council on n
uesday(K/1$/73) to expressPAT's
position on being uninvolved in both Mr. Honohan's'andlithe
srecia' co.nmittee,of the Johnson County Bar Association's reports
to the Council on the proposed tenant, -landlord code.
As the PAT Coordinator, it, is my job to raise such an issue.
It is important to inform the Council that, from PAT's point !of
view, the two reports do not reflect the experiences and expertise
of tenants or PAT.'
The record shows, PAT believes, that, Mayor Brandt Personally .invited
PAT to assist both'Mr. Honohan'and Mr. 0ehler!s group in examining the
legal
aspects of the proposed ordinance. PAT did not initiate the
invitation during the March 7th Council meeting.
PAT wanted me to tell the: Council 'hat our assistance was never
asked for.
It was also my hope to appeal to the reasonahleness'of each
Councilman in order to elicit a specific invitation from, the Council
for a report from PAT on the rroroser',nrdinanna.
PAT also recently commented on the Housi.nP Commission's report
to the Council.. Despite tenant inputinto the Housing, Commission,
their report: to the Council in no, way reflects the problems of tenants
as expressed to the Commission by myself and others sympathetic to
enant.s. '10st of `,heir :report to the Council is a repeat of the
comments made by persons symra'.hetle to.indl.ords.
Tn adr'ittnr, from 7A11 point of view, , many of the comments by
the Commission on landlord -tenant problems and'relati.onshirs were
without any sort of supnort.inF evidence or documentation. PAT objected
to this one-sided approach by 'a public commission.

If the Mayor,, or other Councilmen)rare interested in my personal
political activities in Iowa City, I will be harry to meet with them
-
and°discuss them, in detail. I dont believe my community activities
were germane to my, appearance before the City Council on Tuesday.
Attempts to characterize me as a radical., a complainer, or any other
smear description, are within the power and ability of each of you --or
any other citizen in Iowa City. I don't hide my political heliefs or
mv'nosi ions'on local issues.
T believe the right to question, criticize,,and raise issues are
fundamental and clear,; the right of all American citizens. My choice
to exercise my freedom, vigorously, may, irritate some of•you, but.
voicing of opinions, especially before elected representative bodies
like yours, are deep in the American political tradition'.
.o
There was no 4ay I could respond to Mayor Prandt's .. tongue
lashing, his fingering off in the minutest detail the 'many issues
I have publicly,' expressed opinions, on during the past year.
The Council chamber doesn't seem to me the proper arena for
personal attarks on citizens who come before the Council to express
attitudes, either their,oi,n or'.the 'group they represent.
Persons in this community; with whom I have disagreed, have always
had the opportunity to respond to my opinions and questions. No one
is forced to accept my point of view as the final authority. M;; address
and phone number are, public information:
I have never personally attacked or personally questioned the
integrity of any with whom I have disagreed:
Personal, vi,sc.i.ous character assassinations are notmy style.,

h
UnSrsity of Iowa Hospitals and Ccs
How big is big? How important is'important? That's the problem we have
in expressing the impact of Iowa City's three hospitals. They ,are invaluable
when a health care problem arises, but their contribution to the community is
even more 'extensive. Here are a few 'yardsticks' to put Iowa City's hospitals
in perspective:
1. The 4, 496 staff members, employees and medical doctors serving
in Iowa. City hospitals represent 10% of the city's, population as
measued by the 1970 census. That census includes students in the
city's population. Few, if any, communities can offer such a health
manpower force.
2. The total of all taxable payrolls in Johnson County during 1971
(excluding public employees) was $17 million.One of Iowa City's
major manufacturers, Procter and Gamble, has a $4 million
annual payroll. Iowa City's hospital, employees brought a $35
million'payroll'into the community last
year. The University
Hospitals alone has a current annual payroll in excess of $20
million.
3. The combined hospitals''' budgets total $53 million. That approxi-
mates the $54 million assessed ,valuation, of all taxable property in
Iowa City. Ad;_itionally, during the next fiscal year the University
Hospitals capital Budget will approximate $15 million.
4. The City of Iowa City spent $17,267, 949 during 1972, including
federal funds for urban renewal and leased housing. The three
hospitals' budgets totaled $53'million.
I `!
5. The 365,100 patients served by the Iowa City hospitals in 1972
would fill the University of Iowa Kinnick'Stadium six times and
still leave 5, 000 waiting at the gate.
6. 381, 747 ,sports fans attended the five football games and 13 basket-
ball games at the Universit— ^f ?owa'in the 1972-73 season. That's
very near the,total number ofpatients served by the three Iowa City
hospitals last year.
7. With one-third of a million patients served by Iowa City hospitals
annually, most, of them from other communities, the opportunity for
the community to perform commercial services for patient families
and visitors is apparent and undoubtedly has vital impact on the.
economy of tile'community.
Get the picture? The value of Iowa City's hospitals can be, told in other terms
almost as impressive as their astounding contributions to health care.

But of greater concern to tis are two other factors. First is
the steadily increasing shortage of sweet crude oil needed to
keep our refineries running at:maximum levels,.
Recent action by President Nixon will help to resolve the long-
term b
pro lem, but will have little or no 'effect on this 'year's '
situation. Second, unless consumption is reduced during the
peak summer driving season, daily demand will exceed daily re- `
finery, production.
If we had not,linitiated an allocation program, this supply-demand
imbalance would have almost certainly led to widespread 'run-outs
this summer, with critical effects on transportation of all types.
Within the frame work of our allocation, program, we cannot, take
on new business or provide as much fuel as our customers would
like to.have. we will, however, make every effort to supply our
fair share of products to accounts where we have been the
traditional supplier. We believe it is particularlyimportant
that traditional suppliers continue to meet their moral obli
gations to serve .their historical customers base, in order to
protectthe,best interests of the public.
I know',you share my concern over this national energy dilemma,
and for that reason I am asking your help. If the publicrcan.be
convinced of the need tolreduce fuel' consumption by only 10 per:
cent, adequate 'supplies should be available for all needs'--
pleasure and business or commercial -- during ,the peak summer
driving season.
It mayi seem unusual to you for a gasoline marketing company com an to
be urging conservation, but that's exactly what we're doing.
Amoco's' advertising and communication programs are being redirected
to reflect this theme in an effort to make the public aware of
the need for their cooperation.
.1 invite you to join in this important effort by urging your
constituents' to practice conservation in their fuel' consumption
Lhis'summer;.by driving more slowly, vacationing within their
home states, and keeping their autos in efficient operating con-
dition.
Thank you for any help you can give in this important undertaking.

Present: Brandt, Czarnecki, Hickerson,.'White'

Staff: Pugh, Strabala, Wells, Kraft, Wollmershauser,
Abb'ott,'Honohan
The City Council and Staff met in',informal session on the
22nd day of May, 1973 at 12:30 P.M. in the Conference Room
of 'the Civic Center.
Finance Report: Joe Pugh, Finance Director commented on the
letter from the McGladrey, Hansen, Dunn Accounting Firm regard,
ing the audit for 1972. Those items which were mentioned by
the auditing firm have been taken into consideration'
and remedied.
He mentioned that the deficitbalances in, the two funds would
not have happened if they had been caught before the budget was
amended. The Sidewalk and-Subdivision`escrow accowlts have
been corrected also. Theshortage of funds in Transit were not
in daily revenue and were corrected 'and will not, happen aga`...I
In summary he pointed but that the examination was representative
of the Fiscal Budget and was consistent with practices inthe
past. The Council discussed items concerning data'p'rocessing.l
1974 Budget: Joe Pugh explained that the new budget was now
in preliminary stages. The new budget will implement program „
application instead of fund category and eventually the.22 funds
we have now will be consolidated into 7 funds.- This was in
line with the 'Uniform July' -June _budget year. There!is still
question if, the Fiscal Bill in the legislature will be passed.
�a,i.tal Iprovements Budget: The Council discussed various divi-'
sions of ,tmhe budget. City -Manager Wells stated that a report
from Public Safety and Water Department would be given next
week. (Mayor Brandt stated that a deadline of June 20th was
given as a date for acceptance of the Budget. Also, that the
Council should make a'list of what their priorities were and then
break these down to the $2.3 million figure.' 'After further dis-
cussion it was the consensus 'of'the Council that',a target date
for adoption of the Capital Improvements Budget would be June 12th.
Mayor Brandt announced the annual meeting with Department Heads
would be May 30th ;at 2:00 P.M.
City Manager Wells stated that the preparation of the 1974 Fiscal
Year Budget would'start -on June 27th.'
Clara Oelson appeared questioning the availabilityof employee
records. The City Manager answered that a',1ist would be 'run off
by the computer firm but had not been done',at this time.

ABC supports the concept of long-range planning by the'city It is essential
for the orderly development of the entire county :that this planning be done in
accordance' with the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission's proposed
land use plan when adopted. Cooperation between the staff of the city and that
of the JCRPC should be standard procedure.
Revenue Sharing funds give our city a unique opportunity to invest in the
i'uture.. �e suggest that each year $100,,.000 be used for land acquisition.
This may be land in the Ralseton Creek flood plaint along the Iowa Rlvert land
adjoining new school properties to be used for parkst or perhaps land adjacent
to public buildings. This use of Revenue Sharing is an investment that can at
any time be put to use or can be 'turned into profit for the city.
The remodeling of the Civic Center is an unprofitable use of Revenue
Sharing funds, Rather lihshould be financed by General Obligation Bonds. We
question the advisability', however, of moving ahead rapidly with the remodeling
plans a setlous discussions currently being held with the county over the
