I believe if certain members or member of the Council feel it's appropriate to doubt the integrity of Mr. Furman's construction, or anyother contractor, It seems also appropriate that the necessary actions be instigated immediately to amend the City's present building codes so as to protect the health, safety and welfare of all citizens. You should not tolerate sub—stcrdard construction methods that are now obviously allowed! I agree with Mr. Lynch, Mr. Furman and all other building contractors who are governed by our City's code, deserve a sincere apology. I also believe that all members of the Council should investigate some of the past studies that have been conducted concerning the locations of high density housing and the resultant recommendations. Sincerely, Tim Brandt 427 3.

Neuhauser, You and the rest of the City Council recently received a letter from Mr. B. H. Borchardt asking that all proceedings of the Planning and Zoning Commission related to the moratorium and re -zoning of certain areas be set aside because of a conflict of interest on my part. I had not planned to comment on this letter, . especially since I was assured by the City Attorney that I was not guilty of any such conflict. However, since talking to Mr. Jansen I have taken the time to get a copy of Mr. Borchardt's letter and read it. I was disappointed to find that he had not only lifted statements of mine out of context but that he had also misquoted me some entirely. Although it is PraUaToynot contextsinywhich ltoglconsideruMr.supply Borchardt's _ more information to supply proper letter. lie attachedtwo letters of mine to his letter. The first was an original draft of a guest editorial submitted to the Press -Citizen. An abridged version of this letter later appeared in the PC, with some of the admittedly inflammatory rhetoric toned down. The original version was circulated to residents of Dodge street to elicit their comments. Nr. Borchardt's response came to me in a letter dated 11/16/81 (copy attached). My letter of 11/17/81 is in response to that letter. I have no apologies for either of my letters, though I am a little embarrassed by the strident tone of the first. I have no second thoughts about the second letter. This purpose of this letter, however, is not self-defense. I would just like to attributed to me are distortions, if not point out that five of the six "quotes" rdt's usual method of quoting me is to take flagrant misrepresentations. Mr. Borcha a phrase or part of a sentence I did write and then combine it with another phrase from another sentence to form a new fragment. itis most disturbing habit, however, 1s taking part of one of my sentences and then adding his own words while enclosing the whole thing in quotes. For example: ". .412 S. Dodge St.,, a house that disappeared overnight was replaced by a new and modern 8 plex. . ." My exact words were: "The house lot twenat 412 South Dodge disappeared overnight, leaving a blank ermit foreant8-uniteapartment The demolition permit was issued November 4,the building P issued November 9•" A ill these, I admitare not libelous. But they are certainly unethical, and I think they area conscous effort on Mr. Borchardt's part to deceive the Council. I apologize for making this letter longer than I had intended. I hope that any further correspondence from Mr. Borchardt will be given the careful scrutiny it deserves. j�'thank you for hearing me out. y !/�(\ Larry Baker 521 South Dodge l0 4q i MICRoE1LlIED BY i JORM MIC R46LAB l LI CEDAR RAPIDS • DES 14DINES it � � r 0 E.

In all that time I neer found that Dubuque Street needed to be a major through street. The transformation that occurred with the new pedestrian mall including the closing of two blocks of Dubuque Street and College street and making Washington f Street a one-way street was the greatest improvement in Iowa City in all the years I have been here. It is natural then to bring the street (Dubuque) l between Washington and Iowa Avenue into the entire picture and enhance the whole downtown business area. t i By all means change Dubuque Street there into a one-way street and give it the same treatment as Washington Street, widening the sidewalks t using bricks, beautify with appropriate plantings, and providing a few , two or three, nooks for short tern parking. Most of the businesses on that street don't need adjacent parking. f Do this upgrading right at one time and be proud of the result rather than skip and have something that is only half right.

It has come to my atLcntion that Io.va City is planning to adopt a noise ordinance. This has caused me great concern. I have had experience: :with a recently enacted ordi- nance.in west Lafayette, Indiana. This ordinance, which bears much resemblance to the one Io•r-d City is currently considering, has caused nothing but trouble. It has created a point of conflict between the student population and the townspeople. This has led to unrest and a r,idenirgT gap between the university and the city. Almost uttquestionabl,y, any noise ordinance wi.l'I have its greatest effect on the students, regar•dleo., of its intent. A university town must learn to accept the negative, aspects of a major university along iviti? the pesiti�-C. No one complains about the cultural events that a university brings in, nor the student business. They don't cnrcpl.ain when Iowa wins the game that sends them to the Rosebo•ri (an event that was clearly in offense or the proposed noise ordinance) or the excitment of national wrestling championships and NCAA basketball apearances. These things are only a part of the great excitment and sLrength a university brings to a town, Yet, armed with a noise ordinance, there are those who will instantly come down on the students, the essence of the university, merely for trying to release some of the tremendous pressures of school. This statement may sound harsh, but it has been myrecentexperience that a Cow can overrule the g o in,entions of many. The problem with a noise ordinance is that there is no limit. Is the loudspeaker- at a high school track meet or football game an infringement on a student's right to study? Is rush hour traffic infringing,on a person's enjoyment of a book? If so, then all involved should be cited. I realize that special exemptions can be obtained, but is that fair to everyone? There should be no laws that can be turnod on and off, MICROFILNFO RY 1 I -CORM MICRbLAB ) 1 CEDAR RAPIDS •DES td01AES I i /05C;L 1 Leave the now,�r of determining who is DTSTUPL'IP:G THE PEACE to the police, for their Judgement is an impor Cant nart of their job.

In addition, I have given a copy of the materials to the City's Human Service Coordinator, Pam Ramser, so that she can be in contact with you regarding consideration of funding support for the Hospice Program. We are currently in the process of redesigning forms and procedures for funding consideration for your next budget year, which begins July 1, 1983. This is the earliest time that City funding would be available to your organization. I have asked Pam to contact you this fall with the necessary information so that you can complete the funding application process. If you have questions regarding application for funding support in i the meantime, you may call Pam Ramser at 356-5242. We would be glad to receive any additional information on your organization's activities which you would wish to send. Sincerely yours, I Neal G.

Hospice exists to provide support and care for persons in the last phases of incurable disease so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible. Hospice neither hastens nor postpones death. Hospice exists in the hope and belief that, through appropriate care and the promotion of a caring community sensitive to their needs, patients and families will be helped to prepare for death. The purpose of a hospice program of care is to optimize the quality of a dying person and his or her family's life. Hospice offers an environment and opportunity for the family members to be involved in the process of a loved one's dying. This approach to care permits patients and family to confront death, and not avoid it. The Iowa City Hospice, Inc. is a private non-profit program which coordinates home care for terminally ill patients and their families. We have been working very hard since January of 1980 to see our dream of a Hospice for the community come to fruition. During the last two years, we have become incorporated as a non-profit organization and have received our tax exempt status. We have a Board of Directors consisting of 12 members of the community. Our Board comprises nurses, a physician, clergy, social workers, a banker and dedicated community members. During our long months of preparation, we have established a speakers bureau which has been quite active. We have raised some money with community donations and one fundraiser and have been awarded a grant from the Gannett Corporation. Mercy Hospital has been kind enough to donate a free office to us, along with telephone coverage and the use of some facilities such as xerox. We have spent time exploring a relationship with University Hospital as well and they are anxious to provide human and educational sources for us such as grant writers, graduate students in particular areas, expertise in our training programs, etc. Our Hospice Physician, Dr. Charles Driscoll, an assistant Professor at the University, came to us with an offer of help and we have recently sent him to a 2 day individually designed training workshop at the Marin Hospice in Marin County in California. We are presently working on some sort of arrangement with /0Jf, MICROFILMED DY "DORM MICRE/LAB� F.~ I CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES � ,_..VA_ CAHHSA, formerly known as Visiting Nurses Association and they have been equally supportive of our Hospice from the beginning. At the present time, we are getting more anxious to become operational. Calls come in every day from families in need and we want to be able to serve them as quickly as possible. To accomplish that goal, we have broken into several committees working on finances, executive responsibilities such as finding a Care Coordinator, working out relationships with existing organizations so as not to duplicate services, etc.; a committee designing a volunteer training program and a group working on a brochure, speakers bureau, etc. We hope to raise enough money over the next several months to enable us to hire a Patient Care Coordinator who will work closely with the patient/family and our Hospice Physician. This person is the key person in our team. We also will be training a group of volunteers by mid -fall. This group will also be a major component in our providing good hospice care for families. We will be planning a community fundraiser/get acquainted weekened this fall as well. We would welcome the opportunity to meet with members of your Board and answer any questions that haven t been addressed specifically in this brief letter. It is merely my intention to let you know who we are and what we are hoping to accomplish in Iowa City. We certainly hope that we'll have your support in the future. We would also like the opportunity to seek funding or some other kind of support from you. I am enclosing some information that will help further describe Hospice and its goals. Please contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, t Martha Lubaroff, President Board of Directors, I.C.

B. PRIMARY UNIT OF CARE - Patient and Family: Total patient care includes dealing with family and other significant patient relationships. C. SYMPTOM CONTROL Physical - pain nausea, vomiting and other symptoms are controlled as effectively as medically possible. Emotional - behavioral sciences are important in helping patient and family cope with emotional distress accompanying impending death.

PHYSICIAN -DIRECTED INTERDISCIPLINARY CARE All health care is provided under the direction of a qualified physician. The interdiciplinary areas included: Nurses, Clergy, social workers and volunteers and/or others (i.g., Physician therapy, etc.) E.

Rosemary Vitosh Director of Finance City of Iowa City Civic Center 410 East Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 RE: $5,500,000 - City of Iowa City, Iowa Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (Thomas & Betts Corporation Project) Dear Ms. Vitosh: Thomas and Betts is requesting another extension of the expiration date of the Memorandum of Agreement which is due to expire July 1, 1982. The extension is required in order to finalize our financing arrangements. We plan to place the bonds in a bond fund, but require a bank to provide i a letter of credit and a commitment to buy the bonds should the bond fund "put" the bonds back to us. As of last Tuesday, June 8, we finally have two is banks committed to do this. We now need time to iron out the final details with the two banks and to finalize the legal documents. The scope of our Iowa City project has expanded. Initially, Thomas & Betts planned to convert its existing Electrical Group facility at Iowa City into a connector facility for its Electronic Group (T&B/Ansley), rather than build a new electronic facility in E1 Paso, Texas. This was successfully done. During 1982, we have decided to close one of our Los Angeles electronic facilities and move this assembly operation to Iowa City. This would require additional auto- mated assembly equipment which will be put in the original Iowa City facility. 6 This obviously means more Thomas & Betts jobs and more capital investment at Iowa City. I have talked with Tom Stanberry, who said, the above facts warranted an extension from his viewpoint. I believe we are very close to finalizing our financing. Whereas, Tom felt a one-year extension was warranted, I would like a three or four month extension in case we do have a problem at the last minute with the bond fund, the bank or the legal documentation. Thank you for your help and consideration in this matter. Please let me know if I can supply any additional information. iSincerely, i J.,W. Kearny Hibbard Treasurer /dt cc: M. J.
