CITY CATV COMMITTEE
MAY l,! 1973
MEMBERS PRESENT: Welsh, Blum, Russell, Kril,,Prediger, Eskin,
Elininger, Hubbard, Cordier'
MEMBERS ABSENT: None
There were seventeen guests attending the meeting. (Citizens,
students,:news"media, businessmen,.etc.)
Mr. Blum moved that the minutes of the April -'23 meeting be
approved as!amended, seconded by Bill Hubbard. The motion
carried.
,Mr. -Blum then - read the following dedication to Bob Stumme:
"We were all certainly saddened since the last meeting
by the untimely death of Bob 'Stu6me. Those of us who knew'.
and worked with Bob;feel'a deep sense of personal loss. This
Committee an ' timately all of the,people'of Iowa'
Veuteciative of the effort and keen interest
Y PP
and thelvast experiencehat his'presence lent to our delibera-
tions,, ,and he will 'sorelybe missed."
Rev. Welsh .then reported to the Committee that he had sent a
to: Mrs. Stumme ex ressin the Committee's appreciation ,
letter, ' p 4 pp
and sympathy,'',and would also forward `a copy of this dedication
to her:
i
The basic items on the agenda for the meeting were patterns of
ownership and management. '
'Rev. Welsh invited the public attend ing'to share with the
,then
Committee their opinions and feelings in relation to forms of
i
ownership and management, etc.
Dave Ranney, representing 'y the New American Movement (NAM),then
presented a proposal for.subscriber controlled cable television
system''to the Committee.I(Attached)
Rev. Welsh then stated that he felt that the Committee would
want.to consider the economic and 'legal questions in the -,pro-
posals'brought before the Committee,, and the Committee would ;
want to check out these considerations "in terms of the legality
of the ,procedures and economic' feasibility.'
'Rev. Welsh stated that State Legislation that is of a -limiting
nature might'be more harmful than advantageous and that the
Committee has not taken a'position as to Mr. Small's bill which
in itself does not'speak,of a' moratorium, but that the Committee
has taken a view in favor of the Governor's appointment of a
committee to become informed and help inform the citizens'of the.
,State -in relation 'to cable television.

-e.
Ray Kril stated that he favors non-commercial ownership and sees it closely, in
line as an educational tool.
Sandra''Eskin 'stated the possibility of opting for municipal ownership with a
scries',of choices and if that didn't work, to opt for non -commercial -private
ownership :'with subscriber co-op, etc., stating that.if the municipal route
was tried first and rejected, the other route would be available.
Hugh Cordier stated that esentially he favors private ownership and operation,
because when he looksS,back over the great things in life „ he realizes that for
the most part, they came about as a result of letting free enterprise' flex its
muscles, and,;that at the same time there isa restraint put on so that there is
a balance between the :private good and the public good.: He also stated that
when he 'looks ",back at!the fine things that have been accomplished in this country,
that this is usually true ;that this occurred when a', person was ready>to put='his'
money on the line, take the chance, and have ''a chance for a return on his invest-
ment. , Mr. Cordier,stated that the needs of Iowa City and the people who live
here have to be considered.
Bill Hubbard suggested that all the Committee come up with as far as ownership
is concerned is.a consensus, that, he favors three different forms of public
ownership, and that all three will meet the needs of Iowa City and any of the
•three will do the job, but1the preference as to

Dick Blum stated that ,the ,,decision. he Committee

'that if the

i' -
'decision making on public ownership and the decision making on commercial or
irn
non-commercial ownership is quite different.
Rev. Welsh stated: that he did not like the division of the summary of the
Rand's Corporation's booklet into the three types of ownership. He does
not, see theitems under non-commercial ownership separate from the items
under 'public ownership. : He indicated his agreement with the item from Urban
Cable System, which has been distributed to all member's of the Committee.
After further ,ld'
iscussion, Hugh made the motion to alter this summary, making�
Item No. 3 A I aslt4m 2,E and No. -3 A 2 as,Item: 2 F. This motion was seconded
by Bill Hubbard and the motion carried.
The Committee.ithen took.a

L> Commercial ownership
Least controversial and probably most reliable option. In Orlando, Fla.
major experimentation is being done which refutes the argument that none
of private resources will go into diversity and modernization. A joint
ownership in urban areas with black minority groups and MSO's is possible.

TO: 'Members of the Council
City Attorney, Jay Honoban
City Manager Ray Wells
Gentlemen:
I ask that you reconsider adopting a:tenant-landlord ordinance for Iowa City.
I agree with you that it would be nice to have statewide laws covering Chia
issue, but until that time we need someregulations locally. If the proposed
code is unacceptable it could be re -written rather than ditched completely.
After reading the Minimum Housing Standards. in the Municipal, Code ;I felt there
were several inadequacies with the present L code. Although there are re measures
to deal with landlords who maintain substandard housing there are no provisions rovisions
for protectingthe tenants n such'c'ases. it is true
:that a e involved i that a tenant I
can withhold :rent until his dwelling meets: the minimum'standards, but at :the
time theviolations are: rectified the fullrent payments are due. I 'Why i should
a tenant pay for hous'ing.and services he,never received" There should be' some
.adjustment for the inconveniences -suffered. Under the present system there is
ie::.landl6rd� t6:'exioddit

be negligent and hopefully You will see fit'to rectify such situations.
But I would like to encourage you.to go',,even further,than simply .�16aring,up
qi
the gaps. in. the 'reaent,code. ':, As a tenantthere is a �'I feel! that, , I

difficult forpeople who own their own homes or'have a9 reatideal of control
over their rental unit, to visualize L and understand the problems ten?nts.face
when,'there issomething 'wrong with their dwelling':and they have aniuncooperative

expense of court action or jus t putti,ng,:,up with an, intolerable situation:
As an example of the hassles a tenant can face I'would like to d escribe our�
present situation. At the outset I would like to say: that I do like my Landlord
,and think she is doing her best to maintain a good apartment house. Her value
system and mine don't quite agree on what is important (I prefer to have hot
water and appliances that work rather than pre I tty fLowers all over the place)
but I do appreciate her interest in her tenants'..,
When Gerry moved,to Iowa City last July, he rented'a two -room apartment and
garage for $120 + $15 per month. He signed a 13 -month lease with no 'provision
for the tenant to terminate the lease. At that time he asked Mrs. MacDonald
what would happen if lie were transferred out of town or some other unforeseen
circumstances should arise. It was his understanding that "something would be
:
workedout.Y The first of October when we became engaged we contacted the:
.:landlord to see if we could terminate the lease - providing she found another
tenant. We were willing to keep the apartment until someone could 'be,found
lout
and moveimmediately upon notification of same.
. . .. .. ....

Unfortunately Mr. MacDonald suffered a stroke dur
ing this period and from our
conversations :with Mrs. MacDonald it appeared ,that he wis'not recovering very
well. .The beginning of ,November we agreed to transfer Gerry's lease for one on
another apartment in the'building. (Mrs. MacDonald had not given any indication
that she would sublet the apartment and we didn't feel.like increasing her
problems during a crisis situation.) Although the'second apartment is not,
noticeably bigger it does have a nicer floorplan,and a super -terrific view
of, the rivet'., , Naturally such amenities require an' increase in rent of $5 and
an'extra
$5 for Elie additional person. Thus,our rent is �hc►��7,$130 + $15.
Afterliving in the.apartment for 4' months it has become obvious that the
apartment.is too small for' two individuals with our interests. There is room'
for eating and sleeping:period.I We again contacted Mrs.:MacDonald in order
todiscuss the difficulties we were having with the apartment. One week later
I called
again to see why.she had not stopped in and found that she was ill.
The next.week the paint on . the c - eiling began bubbling so,we:contacted her
daughter.who lives in the building and a repairman was sent the next day, to
work ont: � the- roof. After he had - worked on the roof the: ceiling d ripped dur
ing',
the :next three days of,hard rains. We notified ;the MacDonalds and suffered
.
tliruthree nights of torture from dripping in our livingroom- bedroom.. It was
*finally,�fix6d but the 'Cei ceiling is still a' l' ill pealed and uglynd as far . as we kn o I w
there are : n , o , plans made to';repair the ceiling.,
The following weekend we again 'called ,Mrs. MacDonald in order to have some
specific;problems with appliances taken care ,of since she still had
,.no t . been

t. ays ater a repairman came t

did not fix them! Mrs.'MacDonald thought Gerry might be able to take care
of it." Laterthat week I fixed it myself, I�got tired of having to light
the back burners! with amatch every time I wanted to use �tliem. The same day
•tl
iat the stove repairman was called in'I also questioned her about the lack
of h6t water in our apartment. I was given the run-around on this issue ssue also.
She said no one else had complained and that it was probably mypersonal pre'-
ference to have the' water hotter since her equipmen't man had just recently
'checked the system andsaid it was :;set where it should be 'for her. --system.
ed my job in the Cit Clerk's Office I:'
When I start the first two weeks
in spent ti
t
upda g Code Books and
just happened to see that the Code specifies,ia tempera -
I
ture.for ,hot water in rental units.', After my;encounter with Mrs. MacDonald
Iltested the water
temperature and'then had the thetmampter clieckeVby Mr. Letts,
the City Inspector I' tacted Mrs. MacDonald with �h ' I '
con a results of my tests
which showedthat the hot water was 10 to 20 degrees below Code.: She was very
surprised that someone had, tested the water, but was unimpressed that it was
below Code. I waited a few days to see if she would rectify the situation. On
Monday, May 21 1 turned the matter over to Mr. Letts. Hopeful,ly lie has an
appointment with her this 'coming Friday. I have a feeling this could drag an
fora very long time and all we can do is put up with the continuous inconven-
icnce and frustration. Had I not been working with the Code I wouldn't have
known. that I had a valid complaint on even this minor issue.
I'iVould hope that a good Lenant-landlord ordinance could help relieve some of
the frustration which builds up when there are problems and disagreements between
landlords and tenants. It is very helpful to -have-'an official to discuss
the Situation and try to determine the appropriate action to take. I don't want
be unfair to my landlord but Lwould like to get the comfort and convenience I
am paying for. At this time the place is depressing and a negative influence
on my personal Outlook and graduate studies. Hope you:,can aid.Lhe people of

oDear
Council:
Mayor and
The CATV Committee.recognizes that there are advantages and disadvantages
to all loris of ownership of. a broadban! d� communications system. in Iowa City.
There is: no prepmderance' of 'evidence to make any argument conclusive.
The ,Committee is in, total, agreement that is desires the pattern of owner -

communication sery ce f this community.
co services to the citizens.o
The Committee is not in complete agreement as to the; pattern or patterns
that will best achieve this goal.
We I wish to call special attention to our minutes of May 15 because specific
courses of action follow these determinations.
1. The Committee Voted - six in favor, of public.(municipal) ownership
a nd'twd injavor,of private (commercial) ownership. o:
2. As noted in the minutes, the Committee members then expressed
theii'preferenceconcerningthe best.form, of public.ownership. The. two

patteins that received most favorable consider,at ion, in a general. way,
we
(a) Establishment of a public authority

(b) Contract the the,.system t

considerations. Legal and economic considerations must and:wil,l be involved:
in any final recommendation.
The Committee feels that within the time limits in which itis operating,
'
that itwill not ,be possible,toljiv6 concurrent detailed consideration to
other alternative courses of action.
In light of this, itis our intention therefore refore to proceed to make the
substitive,decisions necessary for public (municipal)ownership.
If members of the City Council are philosophically opposed, apart from
legal and economic considerations to'this:ownership patt . ern, we trust that
they will shire their views with us at this time, that the work of the
Committee might be focused,in another direction and thus expedited.

Education of the developers and contractors of the need for such measures
is a step in this direction. The 'develo developers and contractors ractors should take
advantage of the planning;, services,' of the Soil Conservation Service.
Both B Mr. Olin and Mr. Wilcox have indicated their willingness t
help
o
g P
with educational programsand to give technical, assistance.
The city staff has had partial success in jawboning developers
into improving their 'sediment control practices." The Press Citizen has
focused public attention on the situation where a'developer''converted
Happy.,Hollow Playground into Muddy Hollow < This whole situation was un-
necessary. The developer could have fertilized and seeded his property
last, fall and installed a debris dam in the lower part of his property to
catch and hold the soil for a total cost of $150, an inconsequential cost
relative to other development costs.
Mr. Batterman, the secretary of the 'Iowa City', Home Builders Associa-
tion, has correctly observed that developers have an interest in taking
action to prevent similar problems from occurring;'; otherwise they will be
faced with even more restrictive regulations. One hopes that the 'Home
Builders Association will play an active role in working toward' solutions
of soil erosion problems in Iowa'City.
Education, jawboning,'and,public opinion can contribute to the
solution of this problem but, some type of sediment control ordinance is
obviously needed as a backstop. Mr. Olin has about a dozen sediment
control ordinances and laws in his file that he can make,available for
study. Mr. Wilcox: can make available a model sediment control ordinance
that was d:veloped in Des Moines. A review of these ordinances will be
most helpful in developing an ordinance to deal with the soil erosion
problems of Iowa City. Therefore, we respectfully request ',the council
to direct the staff to investigate the problem and 'devise a'procedure
and/or ordinance that will insure good soil' conservation practices in con-
struction activities.

six months to one year.; At that time a better reassessment
of commercial needs within the Iowa, City retail trade area
could be made.: Allowing another major com;iercial develop-
ment at this.time could,very,'seriously jeopardize the
redevelopment potential of the R-14:6rea. 'The commitment
to a viable 'central business:district has already been'`
`made by; the Iowa': City City Council.'; The 'direction at
this time should be seeing that commitment through to
fruition. In this light the question of;the need for an
additional major 'retail shopping center is one of timing.
It is too early in the face of such Ja City commitment to
determine' accurately the impect of additional commercial
development in the community.
Section two deals with technical problems and deficiencies.`
On May 9, 1973'General Growth Development Company submitted
revised plans under the PCzoning,'procedure, They have modified
the plans to indicate two stages, of development. One set of
plans.l,deals with initial:development. 'The scale of,development
has been reduced as shown on the attached chart. The square foot-
ages'for the various!,types•of developments have been decreased.
The initial development for the department store isre'duced:to
1H ,000'squarelfeet. Other stores have been decreased to
134,300',square °: feet ;'and the supermarket; deleted. The Total
Gross `Leasable' Area(GLA) has' been reduced to"272,300` square
feet. The ultimate development plans have been submitted on a'
separate set of plans and are shown on`'the same chart.
Parking requirements have.been modified as a result of this
latest' submission 'These are shown on'
' the bottom 'of the "attached
,
charts. The proposed initial development meets the 'City PC
zone parking requirements. The ultimate phase',of development
still falls short of- the 'PC zone parking requirements and would
require a reduction: in parking requirements by the Board of
Adjustment prior to approval of the ultimate ;phase. 'The
:developer has'indicated that parking in'`the ultimate phase ,would
be in ';line with national accepted standards of'5.5,spaces'per
1,000,square"feet of';gross''leasable area.
.The developer, has submitted an addendum to theltraffic report.
iEngineering review of this document has not been completed at
this time. An Engineering Report will be submitted prior,to
the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
Reference is made here to.the�firsb Staff Report concerning LSNRD
and.Engineering Review items on pages 6; and 7r' Item '#1,, the
sanitary sewer line, delineation on the plan has been changed
and is not now considered a discrepancy. Item #2, the storm
sewer" provisions,,are still under r.eview,by the Engineering
Division. As of yet, .no provision exists for'restrictionlof
run-off from the roof and southern portion of the site to the
south. Item #3 dealt with 'surfacing material for driveways.
The surfacing material from the street to the property right-
