Re: Traffic Engin7.O� CIV
Periodically
n
Periodically the Traffic Engineer receives individual requests for o
information and action from Councilmembers. There is generally no
problem with this and in fact we are most pleased to provide infor-
mation.
Periodically the request calls for an actual expenditure of time for a
study. It does not appear to be working out too well to receive these
type of requests from individual Councilmembers and perhaps there is a
way to encourage Councilmembers to bring it up before the full Council
where work projects are scheduled for Traffic Engineering. In par-
ticularly many of the studies require 16 -hour traffic counts which cuts
deeply into planned work programs. Any help you can give Jim and me
with this matter would be appreciated.

Re: Compensation for Mayor and Council Members
Dear Neal:
In talking with Rosemary Vitosh the other day, she told me that the
Council had discussed the possibility of increasing Council salaries for
the upcoming fiscal year, but had decided against such an increase. Our
discussion reminded me of the provisions of Chapter 372.13(8), 1979 Code
of Iowa, which provides, in part, as follows:
B. By ordinance, the council shall prescribe the compensation of
the mayor, council members, and other elected city officers, but a
change in the compensation of the mayor shall not become effective
during the term in which the change is adopted, and the council
shall not adopt such an ordinance changing the compensation of the
mayor or council members during the months of November and December
immediately following a regular city election. A change in the
compensation of council members shall become effective for all
council members at the beginning of the term of the council members
elected at the election next following the change in compensation.
The effect of this provision is that if the Council has any intention of
changing the compensation of the Mayor or Council for the calendar years
1980 and 1981, it must pass an ordinance changing that compensation by
no later than October, 1979. This is because there will be a regular
city election in November 1979. I thought you might want to pass this
information on to the Council, so they will be aware of their legal
obligations in this matter. Thank you Neal.

From: Patricia S. Drown
Re: Reorganization of the Human Relations Department
Effective May 1, 1979, new personnel assignments have been made within the
Human Relations Department.
The reorganization of the department was conducted in an attempt to
clarify the responsibilities of all personnel within the department while
at the same time providing efficient and effective services to all
employees.
The organizational chart of the department is as follows: (see attached
sheet).
Specific highlights of the reorganization are:
1. All personnel related activities will be handled by the Personnel
Administrative Secretary (Kay Allen) and the Personnel Analyst (June
Higdon). These new titles reflect increased responsibility and the
accountability for particular aspects of the personnel program, and
are consistent with the direction of the department toward more
professional areas.
2. All affirmative action, EEOC compliance and monitoring will be the
responsibility of the Affirmative Action Compliance Analyst (Sophie
Zukrowski). Flatters pertaining to government contract compliance,
EEOC compliance, and Human Rights Commission activity should be
directed to Ms. Zukrowski.
In smmnary, the second uiagram outlines questions and direction under
Oe new organization.

Willow Creek Neighborhood Center, Inc.
Mark IV Community Canter
Monthly City of Towa City Report
April 1979
Deborah Prince -Lowry became acting director of Willow Creek Neighbor-
hood Center on April 4, 1979• Debbie has been employed as an outreach
social worker by the Center for a year and a half. A new graduate student,
Betty McLaughlin, joined the staff on the same day and will be doing her
practicum at the Center through November.
A much needed electric typewriter was purchased Monday, April 9
by Bill Porter, treasurer, and Deborah Prince -Lowry, acting director.
The Community Center has been busy with many activities including
the following:
Senior citizens have been making yarn kittens. This group usually
has 7-10 residents per meeting. They meet every other Tuesday, also, for
pot lucks and conversation. Many of the senior citizens have also par-
ticipated in the string art craft that meets on Fridays.
Girls Club is meeting on a weekly basis. This month they made yarn
kittens, rode bicycles, and swam at the Mayflower swimming pool. There
are usually 6-8 girls at each meeting.
Teen Club also meets weekly on Wednesday evenings from 5 to 7. Usually,
about 8 girls participate. This group has seen movies on birth control
and toured a dormitory and a sorority. They are starting yarn kittens.
Boys Club has drawn between 10-20 boys on a weekly basis. The boys
enjoy outside activities. These include soccer, baseball, and kick ball.
Film and story remains a popular weekly Wednesday afternoon event.
After film and story hour on Wednesday, April 11, Easter egg dying took
place in preparation for an Easter egg hunt. About 25-30 children were
involved in this activity. Our Easter party, Friday 13th, started out by
having an Easter egg hunt and ended with refreshments. This party kept
about 60 children hopping.
Several other new activities were started during the month of April.
String art was held for both adults and children with attendance varying
I between 3 to 10 people. Pressed flowered stationery, cards and pictures
drew around 15 children one afternoon.

3:00 P.M.
First Christian Church - Lounge
Iowa City, IA 52240
PRESENT: Verne Kelley (Chair), Gladys Benz, Craig Wunderlich, Nina
Hamilton, Larry Schmidt, Alan Zaback
ABSENT: Lori Springer, Susan Simon, Gretchen Grimm, Rachel Haverkamp,
Joel Hoffman, Marilyn, Christopher, Steve Schuett, Nick
Karagan
STAFF: Pam Ramser
Verne Kelley called the meeting to order shortly after 3:00 p.m. Pam
Ramser distributed copies of the subcommittee's position paper on prevention,
revised per*the last meeting, and additional supporting materials.
Most of the meeting involved discussion of the paper and further revision.
Since revisions have been incorporated into the position paper, they will
not be discussed at length in these minutes.
Several subcommittee members were concerned that perhaps the subcommittee's
approach to the position paper and development of prevention services for
Johnson County were too broad-based. The paper deals with application of
prevention techniques to a variety of dysfunctions, including family
violence, substance abuse and other maladaptive behaviors. Gladys Benz
questioned whether such a broad-based approach can be truly effective in
application and whether it might not be better to approach one area (e.g.,
substance abuse) instead of so many areas. After some discussion, Craig
Wunderlich said that prevention techniques are much the same in all areas
because they deal with preventing the occurrence of crisis situations by
promoting coping behaviors. It is only after the occurrence of a specific
crisis that intervention becomes specific to the particular crisis.
Subcommittee members decided after discussion that a broad-based approach
to prevention should be used.
Alan Zaback told the subcommittee that the University of Iowa is in the
process of reviewing a proposal for a position of prevention coordinator.
Their decision will be made by July 1 of this year. If this position is

funded, the coordinator might serve as a prevention coordinator for the
community, depending on the University's job description and the amount of
latitude the coordinator has in defining his or her tasks. Mr. zaback said
that even if the coordinator's work is basically restricted to the
University, this person would be available to assist in helping create a
Position for a 50mmunity prevention coordinator.
In further discussing the position paper and proposal for a Community
Prevention Coordinator, the subcommittee agreed that more specifics as to
this proposal should be included in the paper. Ms. Ramser agreed to add
appendices outlining composition of the proposed advisory board, possible
strategies and techniques to be used for promoting prevention services, and
a timetable for implementing the proposal.
Larry Schmidt proposed that the advisory board composition be modeled
after that of the Juvenile Diversion Board, with some of the slots being
changed as appropriate to prevention services. This was agreed to by all
present.
Ms. Ramser said that she will discuss the final position paper and proposal
with the JCRPC Executive Board at its April 25th meeting and report to the
subcommittee. The subcommittee will discuss the proposed composition of
the advisory board and prepare for a press conference to be held sometime
_ in May at its next meeting.
The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 7th at 3:00 p.m. in the
lounge of .the First Christian Church.

NEWS FROM IOWA CITY
THE NEW MULTI-PURPOSE SENIOR CENTER: THE BRIDGE TO A NEW COMMUNITY
The Department of Planning and Program Development of the City of Iowa City is
conducting a "Rural Outreach" program to accomplish a number of goals. Most
important of these is to reach as many senior citizens in the Iowa City -Johnson
County area as possible to explain what a Senior Center is and how it can be a
place to provide services which will meet their unique needs. Ben Wiese, a
social work practicum student, is serving as the Senior Center project liaison
from the City of Iowa City and the Johnson County Board of Supervisors. A slide
presentation titled "The Bridge" has been presented to the Shueyville, Swisher,
Solon, North Liberty, University Heights, Oxford, Tiffin and Hills City
Councils; to senior citizen groups in Swisher and Iowa City. Other
presentations are scheduled for Solon, North Liberty, Coralville, and Iowa City.
To reserve a date for presentation to your group, contact the Department of
Planning and Program Development, Iowa City, phone number: 354-1800, Ext. 316.
Below are some questions and answers about Senior Centers in general and a
listing of agencies and services which will be available either directly or
through the Information and Referral Office in the multi-purpose center.
What is a Senior Center? A Senior Center is a facility which provides a program
of services ancTactTivities; a place to go; a place to gather for friendship and
fellowship; a place to sit, to rest; a place to be near other people; a relief
from isolation and loneliness; a place to pursue life-long and new interests; a
place which helps to provide continuing self -growth and the maintenance of
independence; a place to continue a viable life-style.
How many senior citizens participate in Senior Centers? More than five million
older Americans, from age 60 to 95 years of age, are members and are active
participants in the country's more than five thousand senior centers. More
would like to, but they aren't available.
Why Lo so many participate? They know their friends will be there; to share
conversation; to share meals; provides back-up support in time of emergency;
their friends from the center have become family, neighbors and community; they
have a need or interest in a specific or several services; there are ongoing
activities which make life enjoyable and meaningful; it brings people
together - this seems to be the most compelling reason for most.
What are the major strengths of a Senior Center? The major strength lies in the
broad program of services and activit es that a Senior Center can provide which
can meet the unique individual needs and interests of the senior citizens in the
community. Some senior citizens participate for single reasons, others have a
wider involvement. Interestingly, when many senior citizens become involved in
a Center, stimulation is provided which creates a chain reaction of further
participation as new interests are developed and needs are met.
What is the goal of the multi-purpose Senior Center? The goal of the Center,
whichis conceived of as a foca point in the community, is to create a make
viable and accessible a place where senior citizens can gather for services,
activities, and socializing in order to experience continued self -growth and
receive support for maintaining their independence. The Center will provide the
opportunity to be involved in and with the community, and accessibility to the
varied services necessary to meet the physical, emotional, psychological,
nutritional, economic, social and cultural needs of the senior citizens in the
area.

Re: Proposed Storm Sewer Project in connection with
the proposed U.S. 6 Hy—Vee Food Store Development,
Honorable Mayor Vevera and Council Members:
We are aware of the Council's concern that all costs incurred by the pro—
posed Hy—Vee Development be born by Hy—Vee. However, we would like to take
this opportunity to explain that all costs that are currently anticipated in
the project are not directly attributable to the Hy—Vee Project. The project
includes a large storm sewer running approximately parallel to U.S. 6 that
will discharge directly into the Iowa River. A major portion of the flows
(approx. 95%) that are proposed to be transported by this storm sewer are not
attributable to the Hy—Vee Development.
The proposed facility will also reduce the flooding and drainage problems
south of Highland Ave, in that the discharge characteristics of the existing
box culvert under U.S. 6 will be substantially improved. The proposed facil—
ity will divert storm water flows to the river that are currently going across
the development tract and creating problems for owners of properties between
U.S. 6 and Send Road. If constructed the Hy—Vee Storm Sewer will divert ap—
proximately 55% of the flows currently experienced at the old bridge on Sand
Road, thus substantially reducing replacement.costs of this inadequate and
deteriorated structure. The proposed facility will also reduce the drainage
structure requirements where this drainage course intersects the proposed re—
alignment of Gilbert Street by as much as 50%, and will eliminate certain
portions of the storm sewer required at the proposed Gilbert St./U.S. 6 inter—
section.
In conjunction of the above information we are providing the following
estimated costs:
1. Estimated cost savings of required storm sewer work in conjunction with
Gilbert St. Relocation, if proposed storm sewer is constructed
$27,000.00
2. Estimated cost of major renovation of structure on Sand Road if the
storm sower is not constructed.
$60,000.00
7. Estimated cost of renovation of Sand Road structure if the storm sewer
is constructed.
$15,000.00

4. Estimated value of potential flooding reduction Unknown
Estimated total benofit to City of Iowo'City (No.'s 1+2-3) $72,000.00
Our request is that the City consider the possibility of including the western
most 200 feet of the porposed storm sewer in the Gilbert Street Relocation Pro-
ject. The estimated cost for the portion is $60,475.00. Assuming that the
City's share of the Gilbert Street Project is 25%, the actual additional cost
to the City is projected to be approximately $8,500.00. We are aware that
there are limitations to the amount of 1175,%" monies available and this figure
may have to be adjusted accordingly.
We do not have information regarding the overall budgetary requirements
of the Gilbert Street Relocation Project, however we do feel that in compar-
ing the estimated $8,500.00 City share with the difference in estimated costs
of the alternate Sand Road structures, the concept is cost effective.
If this request is considered viable, the proposed contracts and construc-
tion schedules could be modified, so that the Hy -Vee portion would be an ex-
tension of the Gilbert Street portion.
We would appreciate an opportunity to discuss this with the Council and
Staff at the earliest possible date.

Re: Proposed Storm Sewer Project/U.S. 6 Hy -Vee Food Store
Development
Attached for your reference is an additional copy of the letter you
received dated April 19, 1979, regarding the storm sewer for the pro-
posed Hy -Vee Food Store project on Highway 6. The essence of the
letter is that the consultant for the developer is asking City par-
ticipation for the storm sewer aspect of the development. The facts as
I know them are as follows:
I. We have been discussing this project on and off with the consultant
for one to one and one-half years;
2. In all of our discussions, developer and his consultant have
always advocated the use of storm sewer pipe to eliminate the need
for storm water management;
3. In our entire discussions, nothing was ever mentic.ied regarding
City participation in this project until the April 19, 1979, let-
ter;
4. My staff has not reviewed in great detail the percentages and
dollar amounts as listed in the letter. However, I would suspect
the order of magnitude is approximately Correct;
5. The City of Iowa City does benefit from the construction of the Hy -
Vee project;
6. I doubt very seriously that the construction of this project would
be eligible under the FAUS program. Especially since we have the
plans and specifications approved by the IDOT at present; and
7. Even if the project were eligible, we do not have enough FAUS funds
to completely provide the 75% match. In other words, anything
added to this project will be paid for entirely by the City.
The letter as written by Larry Schnittjer is very accurate in its
t assessment that there is benefit to the City of Iowa City from the
construction of the Hy -Vee storm sewer. however, it is my impression
that the entire Ily-Vee development was a negotiated process. As such,
certain features of the project should be attributable towards public
benefit in return for the concessions granted by the City. In addition
ito such things as the paving and traffic signals for this project, I

I ,
would be under the impression that the storm sewer construction is one
of the "public benefits" to this project.
Additionally, the implication is that the City share of the request
would be only $8,500. The above information states that of the request
as stated we would in fact pay the entire $80,475. I am sure I don't
need to indothellCity'ssharewere indeedonly $8
at eof $60,475
appears there the

abe
a temptation to consider cost sharing. However, this is clearly not the
i
case.
Finally, there does exist a four party agreement to which the City of
Iowa City, the former property owners, Hy -Vee Incorporated, and the
State IDOT are a party. This agreement provides that the Hy -Vee pay for
the costs attributable to the project.
i It is my recommendation that the request be denied and that the terms of
the negotiations which have occurred over the past one and one-half
years be honored.
