Re: Public Housing Sites
Attached is a memorandum from Lyle Seydel in which he spells out several
options which the Council may wish to consider regarding the future of
the public housing program. This comes as a result of the recent ap-
proval by HUD of a limited number of the proposed sites as usable in the
project. Also attached is a copy of a letter from Norman Jurgens
explaining briefly the rationale underlying the decisions of HUD staff
regarding each individual site.
The material is being provided at this time for Council review and
considerations. The matter is scheduled for discussion at the April 23,
1979, informal Council meeting.

2. A determination must be made at this point as to whether or not further
effort and money should be expended on this program. Alternatives, ac-
tion required and a brief discussion of each are provided below.
a. Continue with the program with only 28 units and provide developers
the opportunity to submit additional sites.
Action required: (1) Initiate site survey to include elevations,
assure free title, obtain clearance or documentation to establish
elevations which will place first floor of dwelling units above
the 100 year flood hazard, recheck vacation of r.o.w., provide
exact locations of public utilities, clear easements, and seek
final site approval. (2) Prepare developers packet, get HUD ap-
proval and advertise for developers.
Discussion - This is the course of action suggested by HUD; how-
ever, other factors must be considered prior to selecting this
option. Assume no other sites can be cleared by thq Authority,
this leaves the Authority with but 28 units. The financial feasi-
bility is clearly questionable, both from a production and an
operational standpoint. Further, assuming that we are successful
in obtaining a developer and the units are produced within HUD
guidelines, the Authority then must operate and maintain these
units on the rent collected.
Example - 28 units w/an average cash rent of $60.00
per month w/tenants providing all utilities.
Annual Income would be $20,160.
Projected Annual Costs would be $23,161.
Payment in lieu of
Taxes (10% of Cash Rent) 2,016.

f B. Seek additional sites to provide for 48 units.
Action required: (1) Request minimum of one year extension
from HUD. (2) Initiate site surveys, etc. (3) seek additional
sites and obtain preliminary approval. (4) Prepare developers
packet.
Discussion - An extension may be approved but would be costly.
Interest on the preliminary note, extended options and increases
in building costs can contribute to a higher total cost. The
i Authority could still face the possibility that the entire pro-
ject is not feasible within the cost limitations.
I
C. Terminate the Project.
i
Action required: (1) Notify HUD. (2) Close the account and
justify the retention of monies expended.
Discussion - This action would not be favorably received by HUD,
and they may request repayment of the $8,804.00 drawn to date.
The preliminary note does contain the provision that in the event
the project is not completed, repayment of the note from resources
available to the Authority will be made. This has not been a prac-
tice in the past; however, is a;possibility. Normally the note is
forgiven with the proper accounting of monies expended. This ac-
tion may, in the future, cause considerable harm in the processing
and approval of CDBG applications. In this regard the failure of
I the city to provide Housing Assistance to low-income families could
be cause for disapproval or denial of these type programs.
3. Staff recommends that alternative "B" above be pursued at this time.

Dear Mr. Berlin:
Subject: IA 22-3
Iowa City, Iowa
On March 22 representatives from this office did a reinspection of
Sites 1 through 3 and 7 through 12 as requested in your March 1
letter. The results of this inspection are included on the attached.
Wlc feel the PHA should now proceed to final site approval on those
J sites tentatively approved and then proceed on to advertisement for
II turnkey proposals. The Developer's Packet would indicate the PITA
has preselected some sites and invite developers to provide the
additional sites that would utilize the maximum number of units
approved.
Developers should also be requested to submit alternate sites in
case some of the proposed sites are not acceptable.
If we can answer any questions on the attached, please feel free to
contact us.

REVISED TENTATIVE SITE APPROVAL
IA 22-3
Iowa City
April 4, 1979
I
i
This will supplement our tentative site approval letters dated
I December 7, 1978 and February 15, 1979.
Site 41, 333 South Lucas
The PHA requested that we consider either one 4 -bedroom single family
unit or one duplex with 2- or 3 -bedroom units.
We will accept the PHA's request to use one single family 4 -bedroom unit.
Site #2, 900 Block North Dodge
The PITA has requested 2 duplexes of 3 bedrooms each side.
Although this site contains 26,299 sq. ft. only a small portion is usable.
We do not feel the site is large enough to accommodate two duplexes with
8 parking spaces. Our original determination of one duplex with 4 bed-
rooms each side still stands.
Site #3, Virginia Street R.O.W.
Although there will be no change in the one single family 4 -bedroom
dwelling on this site, we will accept the PHA's request to use plantings
instead of an 8' high wooden fence.
Sites 7, 8 and 9, Pepperwood
Our original determination and comments of February 15, 1979, remain
unchanged.
Site #10, Braverman Center
We will accept the PHA's request to use 12 units, 3 -bedrooms of row type
construction on this site.
We request a clarification on the use of the drive and parking lot which
includes a portion of this site.
Site #11, Muscatine Avenue
The PITA request to build 2 four-plexes on this site is approved conditioned
upon an acceptable site plan. This site plan should reflect acceptable
building placement and adequate parking and green area.

This re-evaluation is presented from an on-site visit, data submitted
from the Railroad Agency through the City of Iowa City (letterdated
March 26, 1979) and by the use of HUD's Noise Assessment Guidelines.
The HUD guidelines are presented as part of a continuing effort by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide decent housing
and a suitable living environment for all Americans.
The categories of acceptability are listed as follows: clearly acceptable,
normally acceptable, normally unacceptable and clearly unacceptable.
This site falls in the category of normally unacceptable.
In measuring the distance from the site to the noise source, you measure
from the location of the dwelling nearest the source because this is the
housing that will be most severely affected by the noise. However, even
if an average distance is used and this distance times the adjustment
factor for 1-2 or 3-5 nighttime railway operations, the line of site
exposure to railway noise falls in the category of between 101 and 600 ft,
indicating an acceptability category of normally unacceptable. The
distances are approximate and were scaled off the map submitted.
By definition, in a normally unacceptable category, "the noise exposure
is significantly more severe so that unusual and costly building construc-
tions are necessary to ensure some tranquility indoors, and barriers
must be erected between the site and prominent noise sources to make
the outdoor environment tolerable."
The guidelines also state, "If at any point during assessment the site's
exposure to noise is found normally or clearly unacceptable then there is
no need to continue the evaluations unless the location of the dwellings
can be changed or some shielding can be provided to block the noise from
that source."
Safety factors should also be considered because of the proximity and
exposure of the railroad whereby children may want to play on the railroad
tracks.
Other factors to consider are the two sets of tracks one-half mile west -
one set as a siding and a temporary storage of rail cars. Approximately
one-half mile east of the site is the station and the beginning of another
siding. These tracks are within the 3000 ft. to be assessed. Activity
on these sidings was not given, but would also contribute to the noise
exposure. One-fourth mile west of the site is a whistle crossing (i.e.,
it is unprotected). This also contributes to the noise exposure.

A cost analysis would have to be prepared to determine the cost of indoor
and outdoor noise abatement including the cost of the land if further
evaluation is contemplated. It is our conclusion that we not give this
site further consideration as the cost of building sound barriers would
I be very costly and would not be in keeping with the principle of cost
containment implemented by our Central office.

RE: Statistics and Comments on March, 1979 Activities
The first robin not only signified a high probability
of a snow melt and the coming of spring, it also
brought the crazies out of the woodwork as witnessed
by the change in the type of complaints received by
the Police Department in March. While reported crime
increased in twenty-two reporting categories, it also
declined in six other categories and did not increase
the overall volume significantly. Of some significance
is that four rapes; larceny E theft; vandalism; sex
offenses; liquor law and intoxication; disorderly
conduct; and mental problems led the list of increases.
Historically numbers in these categories increase with
the advent of better weather. Significant decreases
in the number of auto accidents were noted, while parking
complaints dropped to 279, down some 209 as compared to
the prior month. Even/odd parking .is working well.
Total requests for service was 2097 for March as
compared to 2044 for February.
Arrests were up slightly in all classifications of
crime where arrests were effected. The total of arrest,
tickets E citations was 5256 for March, 1979 as compared
to 4808 for February.
Good investigative efforts were carried on by the
Detective Bureau during the month. A homicide
reported in mid -month has absorbed the bulk of invest-
igative resources since the occurrence.
Statistical reports are appended.

DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER
QUARTER: THIRD
DECISION UNIT: ENERGY CONSERVATION PROGRAM/GENERAL FUND PROJECTS
Fiscal Year Objectives:
- Conduct an energy audit of public buildings and operations.
Work Completed:
- City buildings have been inventoried.
- Most of the City building energy use data has been acquired.
- Computer program for energy analysis of all heated City buildings over
1,000 square feet in area near design completion.
Analysis:
Although 30% of the staff time was to be spent on General Fund activities,
during the fall most of the staff time was spent on CDBG activities. The
work completed is the preliminary work necessary for a good energy audit,
and the next step, after the energy analysis, is the formation of the
building energy management team to perform .the walk through audits.
Presently the energy use data must be encoded for the computer, which is
time comsuming work. The energy use analysis will be completed by the end
of this fiscal year and the materials for the walk through energy audits
will be prepared. Several buildings may be audited this fiscal year,
although that appears doubtful at this time.

MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES
DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER
DECISION UNIT: ENERGY CONSERVATION/CDBG PROJECTS QUARTER: THIRD
Fiscal Year Objectives:
I. Increase public awareness of energy and resources conservation and
recovering needs and techniques.
2. Conduct a heat loss identification project for low and moderate
income residences.
3. Implement an energy monitoring system to evaluate the effectiveness
of the overall resources conservation projects.
4. Conduct a pilot solar demonstration project.
5. Review and recommend alternatives to solid waste disposal.
Work Completed:
- The Heat Loss Identification Project procedures were developed.
- The infrared thermography instrument was purchased.
The [feat Loss Identification Project was implemented - one person
was hired to scan.
- Identification of information sources for the Energy Monitoring
project.
- Transportation data was collected for the Energy Monitoring Project.
- The Pilot Solar Demonstration Project manual and necessary forms
have been developed and are being readied for spring implementation.
- The newspaper recycling program was analyzed as to different
alternatives available to the City.
Analysis:
The Resources Conservation Commission postponed publishing a flier last
fall due to a lack of staff time and to avoid duplicating past fliers.
Advertising will be done this year.
The Heat Loss Identification Project was plagued with a number of
problems: part-time staff turnover and film difficulties. Solution:
higher wage and redesign of project to reduce dependence on photographic
records. The part-time staff was terminated on March 30, because it is
now too warm for scanning. The owners of about one-half of the Program
Area properties are identified, a letter drafted, and the mailing procedures
established in preparation for next year.
The Pilot Solar Demonstration Project was delayed by the question of
whether local solar contractors could get liability insurance and whether
the City should risk the liability if they could not. The contractors
apparently have resolved the problem. The grants will be awarded and
construction may be completed by the end of this fiscal year. Performance
monitoring will need to take place during FY80.
There has been the general problem of staffing the RCC, dealing with
pressing issues such as newsprint recycling and now the question of what

From: Roger Tinklenberg, Energy Program Coordinator
Re: Energy Conservation Program and Energy Conservation
Recommendations
Introduction
As part of the Energy Conservation Program status report, I was
requested to make some recommendations concerning energy
conservation measures which could be implemented in the City
buildings at this time. At the present stage of the program I cannot
make recommendations for individual buildings for reasons which
should become clear below. However, I can make a recommendation
concerning all of the buildings as a whole. The recommendation is
that the City establish some type of maintenance program for all of
the City buildings. Before I lay out the specifics of the
recommendations please allow me to comment on energy conservation
and preventative maintenance.
Comments
Energy conservation starts by discovering where energy is being
used. Once energy users are identified, changes can sometimes be
made in the system operation, at little or no cost. When operational
changes have been made, then the efficiency of the heating, air
conditioning, and ventilation (HVAC) equipment must be scrutinized.
The only way to maintain the efficiency of the HVAC equipment is by
means of a preventative maintenance program. In fact, a good
preventative maintenance program is key to any energy conservation
program.
Why Preventative Maintenance?
All too often maintenance workers are thought of as those people to
call when the furnace fails or a door is broken. Consequently, many
maintenance programs are no more than an effort to replace broken
parts and repair damage after the fact. These repairs are important,
but they are only one-half of the job.
Preventative maintenance means:
I. An inventory of all energy -using equipment,
2. A schedule of when maintenance is to be performed on each piece
of equipment,
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES
2 ,-
3. A list of duties to be performed on each piece of equipment at
maintenance time,
4. A list of materials to be used, and
5. A log of maintenance performed.
To illustrate the importance of proper preventive maintenance, dirty
coils alone can decrease air conditioner system efficiency by 25% and
planned filter maintenance, as opposed to haphazard maintenance, is
estimated to save 1-2% of all air handling system's energy
consumption. Also, a majority of steam -trap failures (one of the
problems existing in the Civic Center now) can be traced to an
absence of a regular program of inspection and maintenance. A
contingent benefit of an equipment inventory is that it makes
possible an electrical load survey which insures that electrical
lines are not overloaded, but rather are fully utilized. Full line
utilization makes less electrical system expansion necessary.
Simple cleaning, testing and adjusting, lubrication, and alignment
of HVAC fans and pumps not only maintain system efficiency which
saves energy but also extend the equipment life.
Without systematic maintenance some equipment is missed completely
or serviced irregularly, while other equipment is maintained too
often meaning a waste of time and materials. We would not think of
buying a new car and then not maintain it by forgetting to change the
oil, spark plugs, etc. Yet the City has been rather casual in the
maintenance of its HVAC system.
Of the 64 enclosed buildings which the City both owns and operates,
21 buildings, over 1,000 square feet in floor area, are heated and 11
of those are fully or partially air conditioned. (See the Appendix
for the building inventory summary.) In almost all of the 21
buildings, the division's or department's maintenance workers take
care of the HVAC equipment to the extent that they can, and then call
in a private firm to handle major repairs. The only exceptions are
the two outlying fire stations where the fire fighters maintain the
equipment, the Library where there is a service contract for HVAC
maintenance four times per year in addition to the maintenance
performed by the Library's Maintenance Worker II, and the Streets
i Division Modular building where there is no arrangement for
1 maintenance yet.
At the present time the City has two maintenance workers handling
building maintenance. However, both the Library's Maintenance
Worker II and the Parks and Recreation Department's Maintenance
Worker• Ill, in charge of the administration buildings and the
Recreation Center, supervise janitorial staff and perform janitorial
duties themselves.

In contrast, 1.1 r. Dennis Parsons, Engineering Director at Mercy
Hospital, has a maintenance crew of 14 consisting of six general
maintenance people, five boiler operators, two electricians, and one
plumber. The maintenance crew is totally separate from the
janitorial crew. Of course, they must be well staffed to meet
hospital regulations, however, the following information illustrates
the difference in staffing. Mercy Hospital's electric and natural
gas costs for FY78 was less than $300,000 for the 262,000 square foot
structure whereas the City's cost, not including the Airport
buildings, the Clinton Street modulars, and the Library, was about
$337,000 for 265,545 square feet of building area (which includes the
18,187 square foot area of the open park structures).
Mercy Hospital first initiated their energy conservation program in
1976 with the acidizing of their boilers to remove the scale buildup.
From then on they continued to add items, most of which were simply
changing operating procedures. First, they inventoried the energy -
using equipment and then analyzed the past energy use records. After
this ground work was laid, they began to work on the performance of
the mechanical equipment and increase their preventative maintenance
program.
Conclusion
In light of the Mercy Hospital program and most other energy
conservation programs that I have read of, the City is on the right
track. An inventory of the City buildings has been completed. Most
of the energy use data for the City buildings has been collected and
the energy use data for the 21 largest heated buildings will be
I analyzed by means of the computer
completion. Then an audit team will berfoow rned ramn and aearwallk throudesigh
a energy audit will be conducted in each of the 21 buildings to attempt
to spot operational changes which can be made to save energy in the
building. (A walk through energy audit is a visual inspection of an
entire building, during which each member of the inspection team
notes opportunities for conserving energy.) Recommendations and
checklists will then be prepared for, each building to aid the
building maintenance staff. This is as far as the current Energy
i
Conservation Program plans carry the program.
The next step should be to survey all mechanical and electrical
j equipment for each building and determine the appropriate
information required for the maintenance of each piece of equipment.
This is absolutely essential for an effective preventive maintenance
program. One must first know what equipment exists, where it is, and
how hard and under what type of conditions it has to work. Then a
master program of what to do, what to use, and when to do it must be
drawn up and followed systematically. This is an important step
because to have a good maintenance program means redirecting
maintenance staff and committing operating dollars and management
attention.

1"1N%1 a 1.. i
Setting up an effective preventive maintenance program for the City
buildings is important at this time because the Civic Center HVAC
system is now being redesigned, plans are being made for the new
Library, a new makeup air system has been installed at the Mass
Transit Barn, the Senior Center will have a new IIVAC system when it
is renovated, and the Street Division Modular building has a new
heating and air conditioning system. In addition, the Equipment
Service Building modification will have new heaters, the new
Pollution Control Plant will have several new HVAC systems, and there
are plans in the Capital Improvement Program for a new I.1ass Transit
Facility, an addition to the Recreation Center, and a new Animal
Control Shelter.
These new or modified HVAC systems mean a large capital investment
and should be well cared for. In addition, the exiting HVAC systems
and all of the buildings represent a substantial investment and will
provide many years of service if properly cared for. Poor or
haphazard maintenance allows the efficiency of the HVAC system to
drop rapidly and shortens the equipment life. The present problems
with the Civic Center HVAC system illustrate what happens when a job
is not done right in the first place and then is not cared for
adequately.
Recommendations
I recommend that a preventive maintenance program, distinct from the
janitorial staff, be established for all the major municipal
buildings. There are two alternative maintenance approaches which
you should consider.
1) The City could contract with a private firm to inventory, tag,
and sett tip maintenance procedures for every piece of electrical
and mechanical equipment and then contract with them or anoth
firm to run the preventive maintenance program. er
2) The City could redirect and "beef up" the existing building
maintenance staff to inventory, tag, and set tip maintenance
procedures for every peice of equipment and then commit
operating dollars and management attention to implement the
program.
The second alternative is the most desirable for several reasons. As
pointed out before, the City has two maintenance workers who can
handle the building maintenance and repair and some IIVAC maintenance
and repair, because they have worked with the Library and Recreation
Center HVAC systems for some time. What is needed is a person who is
thoroughly knowledgeable in HVAC maintenance and repair. It is
possible that this person would not cost the City any more money
since during FY78 over $30,000 was paid to private firms for repair
and maintenance to buildings and a large amount of this could be
saved by such a person.
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES
A separate building maintenance division is cost justifiable. If
only 10 percent or $3,000 of the present outside maintenance cost is
saved by the additional person and there is only a 5 percent increase
in building energy use efficiency, for a savings of $16,850, the
total savings still is $19,850, which is more than enough to pay for
a good HVAC maintenance person. I would expect much larger savings;
especially in energy cost savings. Most organizations are able to
cut 15 to 20 percent from their energy costs with an energy
conservation program. (Mercy Hospital cut their energy consumption
by 24 percent last fiscal year.) At a minimum, the City will break
even, and that even without considering the value of the extended
useful life of the HVAC equipment.
A City maintenance program would 1

more control over the program, probably offer the City a larger
its
cuantity ofde greater
ontinuity ofserypersonnelice orinvolvedoinythe program dve sus rwhat would
happen if the City had to change companies.
On the other hand, private maintenance service might offer a higher
quality service due to a better trained staff and it Could be easier
to change companies if dissatisfied with the service than it would be
to change employees.
Whichever approach to a maintenance program is chosen, the
janitorial staff must also be consolidated either as a separate unit
or as a subdivision of the preventive maintenance program. It is
more desirable to have a functionally separate janitorial staff,
however, there still must be cooperation between the two.
Now is the best time for the consideration of this matter since there
are approximately nine months until the start of the next budget
cycle, which should be ample time for study and for a decision to be
made. The establishment of the preventive maintenance program in
FY81 would be none too soon because it is by far the best for the
maintenance workers to be trained in the operation and maintenance of
an HVAC system by the designers and installers of the system, and
there are a large number of HVAC systems which will be modified or
built within the next several years.
Therefore, I urge you to consider setting up a
preventive maintenance program and I recommend that a
maintenance division be established because. I feel it

we are riot faced with a shortage of female volunteers. We are receiving an
increasing number of referrals from other professionals in the area: Department
of Social Services, juvenile probation officers, counselors, and psychologists.
This trend indicates that the Pals Program is beco,ring more widely recognized as
a valuable therapeutic program for children and youth in need of assistance.
These referrals somewhat alter the nature of our service in that we have a
larger number of children with greater needs and also a greater number of
"priority" cases which demand iimnediate attention. We are cot,tinuing our
policy, however, of riot accepting children whose problems are so severe that
the likelihood of success with our volunteers is minimal. These children are
referred to other prol'uuuionals .in the coirmuniLy.
We also continue to receive inquiries from outside the Iowa City/Coralville
area, with requests coming from North Liberty, Oxford, and Lune Tree.
Volunteers
We received 42 inquiries from people interested in volunteering this
quarter -- 14 men, 24 women, and 4 couples. (The average number of inquiries
per quarter last year was 281) Receiving twice as many inquiries from females
as males has remained constant over the last couple of years. About one third
of the people who inquired (4 male, 9 female) attended orientations and sub-
mitted applications, which is the same as last year but an improvement over
prior years. 2 of the 4 interested couples intend to be matched.
The Pals Program continues to receive growing support from the community.
We had excellent radio coverage this quarter with the outstanding cooperation
of KRNA, KCJJ, and KXIC. Radio exposure is responsible for bringing us many
new volunteers -- over 30% this quarter. 29 local businesses contributed
food, door prizes, and accomodations for the annual Appreciation Event and roller
skating party. We received increased funding from the City of Iowa City and
were accepted for funding by the County Board of Supervisors to help us finance
the addition of a half-time caseworker. We also received private donations
from local residents.
The Pals Program currently serves more than 100 children. Our matches
continue to grow stronger and our program more sound as we are' able to provide
better screening, training, evaluative and support services to our matches. With
the continued efforts, assistance, and cooperation of the Pals Board, staff, and
the community at large, we can expect these trends to continue and to develop our
program even further in the future.

Re: Parking Prohibition on Bowery Street (Memo q7)
As directed by Section 23-16 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City this
is to advise you of the following action:
ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 23-234 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City, Iowa,
the City Traffic Engineer will direct that signs be installed so as
to prohibit parking from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. Monday through Friday on
the north side of Bowery Street from the intersection of Gilbert
Street to the intersection of Dodge Street. This action will be
taken on or shortly after April 27, 1979.

will enhance the operation of this signal. When the sign installa-
tion is completed there will be no parking at any time on the south

Parking on Bloomington Street (Memo N8)
As directed by Chapter 23-16 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City this is
to advise of the following action:
ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 23-234 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City, Iowa, the
City Traffic Engineer will direct that signs be installed so as to
prohibit parking at all times on the south side of Bloomington Street
between the intersection of N. Dubuque Street and Bloomington Street
east to the intersection of Bloomington Street with Dodge Street. This
action will be taken on or shortly after April 27, 1979.
COMMENT:
This action is being taken to enhance the movement of ambulances and
patients moving to the Mercy Hospital emergency entrance. This action
represents a change from the pre -January conditions in only two blocks
of Bloomington Street. The two blocks are the block between Dodge
Street and Johnson Street which historically was parking uncontrolled on
both sides and the block between Linn Street and Dubuque Street which
was also uncontrolled on both sides. The action as proposed above will
remove parking from the south side of these two blocks and leave the
parking on the north side uncontrolled. This will promote safer
movement by emergency vehicles to the hospital emergency entrance.

Re: Parking Meter Zones in the 300 Block of Bloomington
Street and the 200 Block of Linn Street Gilbert Street (Memo N9)
As directed by Chapter 23-16 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City,
Iowa, this is to advise you of the following actions.
ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 23-234 and Section 23-274 of the Municipal Code
of Iowa City, Iowa, the City Traffic Engineer will direct that the
north side of the 300 block of Bloomington Street be established as a
parking meter zone. Two hour parking meters will be installed at
this location. Additionally, both sides of the north half of the 200
block of Linn Street will be established as a parking meter zone
utilizing two hour meters. Additionally, the west side of the north
half of the 200 block of Gilbert Street will be converted to a
parking meter zone utilizing two hour meters. The nine diagonal
stalls on the west side of the south half of the 200 block of Gilbert
Street will be converted to parallel stalls. This action will be
taken after April 27, 1979.
Parking will be prohibited at all times on the east side of the 200
block of Gilbert Street. Parking will be prohibited at all times on
the south side of the 300 block of Bloomington Street.
COMMENT:
This action was outlined in the memo to Council of March 9, 1979
which responded to Council's original inquiry of February 1979. This
differs somewhat from the memo to Council from Public Works Director
Plastino of April 10, 1979. In Director Plastino's memo Bloomington
Street was to have been signed no parking anytime on the south side
and then uncontrolled parking on the north side. Mr. Plastino's
comments regarding Linn Street and Gilbert Street will be followed.
