We have reviewed the preliminary drawings for adult shelving
and :'storage with

this involved over $500 (nearer $1,,000) of'the.Capital,Improve-

and will return in April at 3/4 ,time. Her; position needstobe
reclassified also.
GRANT .REQUEST
We added a^request from 'Adult Services to the special grant i.
request sent to the Iowa City'iJunior Women's Club'. They need
:.
paperback. book racks and display materials, bringing the grand
total of the request to;`$4,706 including the one .'f or Children's
Services. ';President Downer ex lained that,this:mone

.comes ,
from the proceeds'of a'revue "the Clubputslon every year. The

REVENUE NUE. SHARING .
The, Director feels we should apply under revenue .sharing for
TWX rental costs. We should ask the East Central Region to
pick up the message charges of about $840 a year: We 'probably,
couldn't get personnel under revenue' sharing although it would
be, perfectly legal to do so. Film replacements ($4,500), new.'
film, audio -tape cassette ($2;200), video tape, etc., might be
applied for under revenue sharing. The Director feels we should
make, such a request.

REGIONAL LIBRARY SERVICES ACT (SF271)
•
The Director reported tat apparently we would lose the advan-
tageof shared staffing and easy access to library collections;
shelved in,this library because Cedar Rapids was named as the "
resource cnter for the EastrCentral region. There is a possi-
bility that many, of our 8mm films and large -type books which
were purchased with federal funds maybe removed from this
building.
Mrs. Richerson asked if we should invest in 8mm film and other'
materials we may be able to'get 'througharegional center.
Mr.'Hurkett stated that we really need 8mm'film'on hand in the
library.
BUDGET.
ThTh s is amid -step work session on the budget. Finalfigures
just,'aren'f;ready. President Downer suggested that we have to,
_..I
get the budget done as soon as possible since the deadline is
the `20th 'of' July.
The City:policy on replacements for library materials which have
been; paid ,for because of loss or damage is not 'subject lto change..
We only get' money,backfrom the general fund at the discretion, of
thelCouncil` in thel, following year. The Director always shows a
receipts side to;,the budget even though this is not requested ,by
thelCity administration. The estimate of receipts is used as 'a
basis for'the'following year's budget and includes an'item called
Fines and,.Fees which is not subject',to the 3-mill.limit, as it is
not'from taxes. '
A 1/2 time A-V specialist and'video`tape equipment have been dropped'
from 'the' budget request for 1974. Originally the library materials l
budget for Adult' Services was $70,000 and for Children's Services
was $12,000.
The Director commented,that approximately 60% of our, library,' book
purchases were; placed through ',the statewide processing' center and
that'this was a desirable situation because even at 90fi per volume
I
the cost was low.,
;r
The goals and objectives for 1974 were accepted (Richerson, Newsome .l)
The Director stated that he would give the: Board' final' budget figures
just as,soon as possible.,
Determination of the.Director's salary: Mrs. Buchan moved for an
executive session with Mrs. Trumpp seconding the motion'. The
Director's' salary was to be increased three steps to $17,280.
(Bywater, Buchan)'.
The meeting was adjourned.

Special Board Meeting --page two
The Board discussed the possibility of cuttinghours at the
library.� Hazel!Westgate commented thathlowever many:books one:
has doesn't matter if we don't have the hours open and the staff
to serve.the public.
Mr. Downer said the materials budget deems destined to continue
to becut and should be brought into better balance. A question
was raised byiLinda Bywater of how much of our budget did the'
City cut last year? Mr. Downer reported that the cut last year
from the,City was in terms of total. Mr. wells was new in his
job, didn't want substantial tax increases and didn't have time
to become familiar with our operations. We should come out very
clo -,to our total figure this year.
A motion was made (Kirkman, Newsome): that we add $3,000 to our
total ';asking,,putting-this amourit:in.library.materials.and an
amendment to change $3,'000 to $4iG26, (Bywater, Farb er) was
carried.' The Motion carried ad amended.
Mr. Hurkett, suggested that ,the ,:Board should formally request 'the
full'3-mi11 limit. Mr.''Downer opposed, saying we must show how
we rare going to spend the money. ! Mr. Hurkett commented that
severe cuts already made could be put back. Mr. Downer stated
letter to accompany t sh ld be sent reporting
that a letl any:the budge should

fore submitting the budgetshowing all the worthwhile programs,
services we, could fundwith any' extra money we,might be allowed.
Mrs. Buchan suggested that the 3/4 library clerk shouldn't bei
employed until the budget is approved. The Director replied that
hiringwouldn't be until January 1, and �then only if justified at
that time.
Mr! Downer said the budget figures should be ready to submit by
Friday, July 27.

"Mymother works at K -Mart and Kids' Days are next week,,so do

July continues our busy pace of summertime even if we are
looking ahead to and making( plansfor fall.
Children's records were transferred to this section on July 17.
They; and our book` -record combination's are now housed :in a new
browsing ;unit and'are distinctly appreciated --there have been
nearly 200 -circulations since mid, -month.
Mr. and Mrs. James Blaha of Fort Dodge were featured on the
_
July: 19 Music Matters,.program. ,Mr.;-Blaha`perfo'rmed on the
fiddle; his wife drew to the music;on Joe of ,,the U of.I music
"department
provided little obligatos,;on the.recorder;,and every-
one else ,sang. >:n another occasion, one of our earlier tuba -'
players reappeared with''a Sing -Along and Name That Tune, and we
rather expect Red'RidingHood to be with us in September.
Two of our contract areas (Lone Tree and North Liberty) were
visited by',a storyteller and with musical. games.
The"Adole'scent Unit of Pine School (about 20 retarded, and
retarded and disabled children) came for a "trial run" program
'
Y enjoyed of film, stories,; and songs. : The en'o ed themselves hugely _.

To the Honorable Mayor' and ltembers of the Iowa City Council:
14ow that Muscatine Avenue is atain open to traffic, the irregular rchedule
of, the Towncrest-Nest Sonton bus route needs to be .reviewed.'
Some of you may not know, but since April 2, 1973, these two routes have
been on, what some of the passengers promptly and appropriately numed "crazy
time". During -the middle of the day, and all;d<t,; Saturday,when the loads
are light, these buses, are on the regular 30 minuteschedule,'but during the
morning and afternoon busy hours there is one bus every 5 minutes. No changes
were 'made in the schedules of'6ther lines.
How has the change to a 35 minut6 busy hour schedule affected the bus'
patrons of the Ior:a City bus system?
1. then the'iouncrest route was put:on "crazy time", that automatically;
put the West Benton route on "crazy time" too, even though drivers can easily
cover that route in 30 minutes'-- in fact, there is,a short lay -over period
for drivers to fall back on when needed'.
2. The 35 minute schedule isf most confusing, not only to the bus patrons
of these two routes, butlalso to those who transfer thereto :from otherlines,
since each bas leaves downtown at a'different number of minutes after the hour.
3. Worst of all, passengers on the 'Poen crest and Wert Benton buses miss
transfer connections with the other buses that, leave dormtown',on the hours 'ands'
half hour ;which '-means that ifrthey are to arrive at their destinations on
time theymust leave home `as,much as 20 or 25 minutes earlier `'ban ",ay would`'
if these two routes were also on 30: minute schedules.', Those who
transfer to
Townnrert°and West Benton buses miss connections with other lines on their',
return trips.
'4•' For working people and students, bound for home in the late.afternoon,
the 35 minute schedule' means delay. r'or example,' those( who could leave down-
town at 5:30 on the 30 minute schedule must now wait "until '545, and those >
who left at 6:00 must now wait until 6:20. (;See schedule attached).
5. With a 35 minute rush, hour; schedule there is one less trip each
week day than on Saturday. This means more crowding: more par:,eengers who
need to 'stand.
6. The confusion,and inconvenience to passengers which is caused by
the 35 minute rush hour schedule would be much worse during the school year,
if permitted to 'continue, than it hes been d,. -ring the summer when ,lie loads'
have ,been much lighter'.
I'wish it was possible for the Council to solve ;ill of Iowa City IV. prer.cnt
day ;problems ar earily as, the problem of the 35 minute'' Pown'crest-`elost Benton,
bus route can bhp solved. In'thir erre h!l ti,a:t„,)or Eonorablc t,,�dy would, need
to do would be to atain route the Towncresi bus over the iluacatine .1vonue
short-cut once( each round trip,' the same 'ns you did from Aovenber,' 1'171
to MV 1, 1972 -- and the same an the 1;e, did with the ,ii dvately owned.

POLICY CONSIDERATION 'ON PRIVATE DRIVES
•
IN LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENTS
This report presents the policy issues emanating from the
question of"whether streets, drives or other vehicular ways in
new subdivisions, (especially in Large Scale'Residential bevelop-;.
ments) should 'be_held in private ownership. The scope of this
report includes a review of the policy' concerns and recommen-
dations for the minimization of any potential problems.
INTRODUCTION
I
As a development technique the benefits of private drives
include lower initial costs andgreater desi n _flexibilit "
which can lead to the development of attractive and' :successful
subdivisions.: The success of this type of development will
depend primarily upon the protection afforded to all parties
concerned by being fully informed of all the burdens and
responsibilities imposed by this technique. 'This need for all
parties to be informed and therefore protected, arises from
the possibility that the organization established to provide
or purchase the necessary services and 'amenities ,for the property
owner may not be able to ,continue to do so, or may perform them
so poorly that the property owners would demand a change. If
this were to happen, the City would, :in all likelihood, be
required to assume these responsibilities, at some cost to
the ;City.
from
The problems arising a poorly managed service organ i-
zation might include property 'damage and loss, whereas the
-2-
burdens resulting from the failure of the service organization
could include costs of replacing ,worn improvements, rebuilding
substandard improvements, building new improvements and the time
loss and inconvenience of these activities. However, the City,'
by -establishing certain minimum standards of design and con-
struction, can insure that the problems will ;be avoided or,
"reduced to manageable proportions, and those that remain will
be fully understood by all concerned parties:'
r
In 'conclusion it must 'be recognized that risks exist in
all new and innovative ventures.or techniques; however, exper-
ienceslnationwide have indicated that through careful planning
and management, these risks can be reduced to a minimum.
The. term P riva to drive is intended.to include private
vehicular rights of way, or ways', and private streets.
AREAS OF POLICY CONCERN
The policy issues and concerns come under the general'
p y ,
heading of Public Works, Protective Services, Planning and
I ;V
Homeowners Assocliations.'
�are

PUBLIC WORKS'
Streets
a); Construction
Obviously,, a poorly designed `and constructed
drive or way could becomel an early maintenance problem and
could cause serious traffic problems, and yet, by lowering the
standards design flexibility,will increase, and initial c I ost
will be lowered.: Thus, the main issues here are insuring
that private drives are designed and constructed to such
standards:that will minimize maintenance and insure a proper:
degree of safety, and yet!allow for design flexibility and
lower cost.The other problem is insuring that,should the
private drive become property of the City, therewillbe enough
dedicated right-of-way to meet City standards.
Recommendations:
1. Arterial Streets:
All arterial streetswill be held in City owner-
I.
ship as dedicated streets,and will not be
considered for private ownership.
2. Collector Streets:
Collector streetsmay be constructed to lesser
standards except that they will meet the following:
Pavement widths shall be a minimum of 36
feet with parallel equivalent parking and 22
feet without parking.
Rights-of-way will be 66 feet.
•
Street Grades will be no more than 10%.
The minimum distance betweencurbcuts will be
30 feet and the minimum,distance between curb
cuts and intersections will be 125 feet.
Streets will intersect at a right-angle or as
i close thereto as possible and be so designed as
to maintain clear sight distance.
While a rolled curb is.not!as practical as a
straight curb, it may be used, except at street
intersections tersectionswhere the:rolled curb should be
wrapped into a straight curb.
Angular parking will.not be
e I allowed on collector':
streets. Further, parking arranged
areas will be
in such a manner hat t ey wi be
h 'll not b 'part of
'part
street; that parkin'g,.areas'.will be spaced
according to 'the curb cut'spacing requirements;
and that topography and'intersection spatial
arrangements will govern,parking,arrangements.
3.1 Local Streets:
Local streets may be::constructed to lesser stand-
ards, except that cul de sacs shall be constructed
to an equivalent 100 foot right-of-way and shall
be paved to a minimum outsidee-diameter of 70 feet.
Angular parking may be allowed along local streets
except�thatthe paving shall have a minimum width
of 31 feet not including,the parking. Parking
areas should be spaced in such a way as.to take:
into consideration the topography, the spatial
arrangement of,other intersections, and the
location of otherlparking areas so as to minimize
traffic hazards.
Minimum pavement width shall;,be 22 feet, provided
that a:minimum of 5 off-street parking spaces
shall be provided for each dwelling unit. These
may be located in centrally 'located parking
facilities.
Curbing requirements on local streets will be
determined at the time of the design review. In
low density areas, curb requirements may be
waived.
The design and arrangement of all local streets
•
shall give prime consideration to safety.
i i
f
-6-
•
4.
Pavement material and thickness standards:
Portland Cement -- 7"
Full Depth Asphaltic Concrete -- 7"
Asphaltic Concrete Surface with Rolled Stone Base -
5" concrete and 7" base.
These standards shall apply only to the traveled
portion of the pavements.'
5.
'Homeowners agreement:
The prospective property owner shall, through 'the
homeowners ass ocation covenants and deed restrictions,
be made 'aware 'of the"right-of-way requirementsand
burdens connected thereto and will, by; signingIthe
homeowners agreement, waive all special assessment
rights'
6.
Sidewalks:
Sidew a s either .w ill be constructed ;according ,to
current', City standards along local drives or may
be,located in ,such other manner as, approved byl
the Planning & Zoning Commission and the City .
Council:
,
b) Maintenance:
Street maintenance is vital to the safety and
well-being
of area residents. Thus the property owner, through
h
the homeowners association, must be made fully aware of the
needs and responsibilities of providing maintenance and must
understand
that all of this service will be provided by the
homeowners
association.
Recommendations:
1.
The homeowners association agreements will
clearly set forth,those maintenance duties that
'performed
will be by the association.
2.
The City,must have preemptory, right to 'assume i
the responsibilityfor t he'; erf
p ormance of any.
neglected or denied maintenance service which
easements.
d) Lighting:
Recommendation,
The homeownersassociation shall have the
responsibility --for theprovision f 'street
lighting.
e) Refuse Cc llection
Reco mmendations:,
The City will,piovide this service contingent
upon:
1. Drives being designed:to proper standards
2. Drives being kept clean and passable.'
3. The homeowners through'the homeowners
association including'a waiver bf,right
to claims against the City for damages
done by the City.
4. Agreement by the'homeowners association to
allow 'the City to issue citations against
vehicles which are parked:in:such a manner.
as to prohibit the conduct of,refuse
collection activities.
Public Works: �Utilities
a)
Water Distribution
bY
Sanitary Sewer Systems
c)�
system Easements
The problems inherent to these systems are not as
critical as
those of design, construction or maintenance of
nri vni-p el� i
,n�
easements.
-9-
d) Storm Sewers
The physical design of the subdivision shall
result in the minimization of the adverse effects of storm
I
water runoff.
Recommendation
The method used to control surface water runoff
must be designed to'accommodate a'f,year
intensity level storm. This must meet.City
standardsrelative to discharge of"storm iwater `
into City streets.
PROTECTIVE SERVICES
Police and Fire protection will be provided by the City'
The Iowa City Police will have limited jurisdiction in the
areas of traffic control (as dictated by the Iowa Code)on
Private drives and ways. They will not be able to enforce
i
speed limits or ,other moving traffic violations. The home-
owners'association agreement should very clearly inform all
association members of this fact.
In'order to insure the efficient fici
en t. delivery. of .services,
F
the homeowners association should sig n,;an agreement with the
City, allowing for, issuance of citations to vehicles which are
considered ,to be trespassing by the association, and, which, by
this action tend to impair the efficient delivery of services.
PLANNING
Zoning, Land Use, Density and Siete Planning.
One of the primary concerns of Planning is to provide the
I
1
`•4'.
_ t
Persons
using the private drive should be !i
sufficiently warned that they are in fact on
private property, and that virtually all of
the traffic laws ,and regulations which
provide protection on ,public streets do not
apply,on private property. Specifically, it
should be'understood,,that'the City will not
regulate aspects oftraffic control such as
speed!limits,'traffic warning signs; and
stop signs'. The :safety implication related
to ,this is of ''special significance to
collector-type.private drives or ways.
5. The City will not provide forestry services
on private drives.
6°. Private drives and ways should be considered
only as part of a larger, development plan where
it becomes economically'rfea'sible for a'home-
owners association to sustain 'costsand levels
of services required for maintaining such
riv t
p a e drives. 'Subdivisions of only a very
few streets and,a small, number of dwellings
4
in allilik'elihood would not'be able to
economically provide the total range of
services required on private drives or ways.
7 The City will reserve a right to determine,
the classification of .streets. This is
especially important:with respect to
collector streets where the''design of the
surrounding subdivision will dictate whether
the collector street ;should be in public or
1' 1,
private ownership.
