Re: Petition to Switch No Parking Prohibition in
1600 Block of Broadway
Dear Mr. Crow:
The City Council has asked the Public Works Department to provide a
recommendation on changing the parking prohibition in the 1600 block of
Broadway.
In your petition, you stated that the placement of the signs was difficult
to work with, since it necessitated entering private driveways to turn
around for parking on the other side.
We understand your concern and we usually prefer not to disturb the
existing habits of Iowa City residents. We feel there are some pressing
reasons why the parking should be left as it is.
I. During the winter snow plowing season, it is extremely helpful to
our drivers to always having the parking removed on the same side
of the street. Frequently, our snow plow drivers are operating
under blinding snow conditions. The driver may not notice that
parking was switched to the other side of the street in this one
block and he may crash into the rear end of parked cars.
2. We prefer to prohibit parking on the same side of the street on
which Lhe fire hydrant is located. In this case the fire hydrant
is on the west side of the street where the parking is prohibited.
3. The 1600 block of Broadway is a dead-end street. It would seem
that regardless of which side parking is prohibited, the driver
must ultimately Lurn around in a driveway.

We, the undersigned residents of the 1600 block
of Broadway Street,do hereby petition the City of Iowa
City to re-evaluate its' placement of "no parkin;" signs
on the gest side of this sectio±, of Pro2clway.
`Phis placement is counter-productive in that it
necessitates everyone's changing their narking habits.
Further, it will necessit__te the entering of private
driveways to turn around for parking on the other side.
There should either be no signs on this section
of Broadway, or the signs should be placed on the east
side of the street where noon parks anyway.

MEMORANDUM
Date; June 14, 1979
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jim Brachtel, Traffic Engineer
Re: Addition of Motorcycle Parking at the Burlington St. Lot
As directed by the City Council of Iowa City, Iowa, the following
action will be taken:
ACTION:
As directed by the City Council, the four stalls designated as LB1,
LB2, LB3 and LB4 in the Burlington Street lot will be divided in half
and the additional four stalls will be. metered. This area will be
designated as motorcycle parking only. This action will be taken on
or shortly after June 20, 1979.
COMMENT:
This action is being taken at the direction of the City Council of
Iowa City.
It is recommended by the City Traffic Engineer that this area be
designated motorcycle parking and no fee be collected. It should be
noted that this area is being installed to replace free motorcycle
parking in the CBD which had been removed by urban renewal
construction projects. This space would provide motorcycle parking
alternatives to on -street metered stalls. The no charge designation
was suggested to make this site more attractive than closer in,
metered, on -street stalls used by passenger vehicles. As presently
structured, there will be little incentive for motorcyclists to park
on the CBD fringe and walk into the CBD. More likely, motorcylcists
will select a closer in, metered, on -street stall in which to store
their vehicle.
It is suggested that the fees realized from these eight stalls be
monitored for the next two to three months to determine if usage is
sufficient to warrant the continued charge of parking rates at this
site. If low utilization is recorded in the next two to three
months, it is recommended that these eight stalls be either converted
to a free parking area for motorcycles only or revert back to four
vehicular parking stalls so that the number of parking stalls
downtown may be maximized.

SPECIAL INFORMATION
iPublic utilities: Adequate water and sewer service
are available.
Public services: Police and fire protection are
available. Public sanitation
would not be provided.
Transportation: Vehicular access would be
provided from Highway 6 Bypass
Physical characteristics: The topography is gentle with
slopes of less than five percent.
ANALYSIS
4 The applicant has revised the approved "Innovative Parking Area Design Plan" in
accordance with the "Revised Tree Regulations presently being considered by the
Commission and is again requesting Innovative Parking Area Design Plan"
approval (see attached letter). Under the "Revised Tree Regulations," a
significant reduction in number of required plantings result (i.e. 120-58).
This large reduction of trees is due to three factors: elimination of the
double coverage requirement along Highway 6, removal of landscaped islands
between parking and buildings, and reduction of the number of tree islands.
However, in terms of the tree coverage of the parking area both the approved and
proposed parking design plans are equivalent.
The final plan does not show medians in Boyrum Street as approved in the
preliminary LSNRD plan. The Department of Transportation in approving the
access to Highway 6 considered the northern median to be unwarranted and
disallowed it. The southern median, however, is not within state right-of-way
and whether or not it is constructed is within the purview of the city.
The design of the southern median should provide an adequate turning radius for
left -turning movements from Hollywood Boulevard onto Boyrum Street. This
increases the probability of "cheating" from those wishing to exit the develop-
ment via the northern entrance and creates a very hazardous traffic situation.
The Traffic Engineer is recommending that the median not be constructed at this
time. But, if at some future date the city should decide that some benefit could
I be served by a median then it would not be difficult to construct a median
because Boyrum Street will be wide enough to accommodate it. It would seem more
appropriate for the Commission to consider narrowing the north entrance drive to
inhibit traffic from exiting through it.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends that the final Large Scale Non-residential Development Plan
and final plat be deferred. Upon revision of the plan and plat incorporating
the concerns mentioned above and correcting the deficiencies and discrepancies
noted below, the staff recommends that the final LSNRD plan and final plat be
approved.

Re: Hy—Vee Food Store No. 1, Iowa City, Iowa
Dear Nr. Schmeiser:
On behalf of the Developer, we are respectfully requesting that the perking
and planting plans for the above referenced project be reviewed under the
Provisions of 8.10.40.11 B(7) as an "Innovative Parking Area Design".
The plans, as prepared, meet the requirements of the "Revised Tree Ordinance",
which has not been formally approved and adopted.
Large shade trees and large tree islands are shown within and along the
perimeter.of the perking lot. Small tree islands with ornamental trees and
appropriate shade trees separate parking aisles from drives. Ornamental trees
are to be planted along the rights of ways.
If you have any questions regarding this, please contact our office accordingly.

Malus - Flowering crabs generally adapt well to city conditions. For some reason, however, resistance to disease and
insect pests varies from area to area and plants don't always respond uniformly throughout a region. Availability is
also a factor. Following is a partial list of varieties for consideration.

PLANTING SIZES
Large or Medium Overstory Shade Trees
At the time of planting this type of tree shall have a minimum
trunk diameter of three (3) inches or more at a point six (6)
inches above ground level, be free of branches .to a point at
fifty (50) percent of the height, and demonstrate the growth
capabilities, branching formation, and crown balance that is
indigenious to the particular variety. The tree shall be
straight of trunk with the main leader intact.
Small, Upright or Understory Deciduous Trees
At the time of planting the single stem ornamental tree shall
have a minimum planted height of six (6) feet and shall possess
six (6) or more properly spaced branches. The tree shall be
straight of trunk with the main leader intact.
Coniferous Evergreen Trees
At the time of planting the minimum height measured from
planted level to the midpoint between the upper most whorl and
the tip of the leader shall be five (5) feet with a ratio of
height to spread of not less than five (5) to three (3). The
needle color and branching habits shall be normal for the
species and the overall appearance shall be indicative of
previous care in pruning and development.
This list is not complete and no effort is made to exclude the
planting of any variety that may become acceptable or to
prohibit the use of unusual plantings for desired effects
except as such plantings would or could create an unnecessary
maintenance problem for the general public. In cases of
uncertainty the City Forestor or the Extension Service should
be contacted.
TREES IN•SMALL ISLANDS
Trees indicated with an asterisk (*) are suitable for use in
small tree islands (170 square feet) or in other areas where
root confinement is a factor. These selections are especially
adapted to adverse city conditions in spite of any individual
problems.

MEMORANDUM

From:
Re:
June 13, 1979
City Counc'
Don Schmeise
Proposed Revised Tree Regulations
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held on June 8,
recommended by a 6 to 0 vote approval of the proposed revised Tree
Regulations attached to the agenda subject to the following minor
changes:
1. Paragraphs 8.10.40.7(B)(3) and (6) should be combined as follows:
(3) Trees shall be planted adjacent to street rights-of-way
within eight (8) feet of the right-of-way line but not closer
than four (4) feet to a public sidewalk nor three (3) feet to
a right-of-way line where a public sidewalk does not exist.
2. That paragraphs (7) and (8) of the above subsection be changed to
(6) and (7) respectively.
3. That a note at the bottom of pages 1, 2, 3, 9 and 10 of the "List
of Recommended Trees for Iowa City" stating, "*See page 12" be
included.
4. That page 12 of the "List of Recommended Trees for Iowa City" be
numbered page 12.
5. That paragraph 8.10.40.8(B)(2) be changed by deleting "--floor area
that any floor is--" to '"floor area of any floor that is--."
The major differences between the existing Tree Regulations and the
proposed revised Tree Regulations are generally outlined as follows:
1. The definition of a "tree" has been changed by adding the adjec-
tives "perennial woody." Definitions for "drive" and "aisle" have
been added to distinguish between the two and the definition of a
"tree island" has been added.
2. The general applicability section exempts single family dwellings
outright. The existing ordinance exempts buildings with a coverage
of 2,152 square feet as to effectively exempt single family dwell-
ings. Also included is information on methods of measurement (void
in the existing ordinance), trees permitted and sizes at initial
installation as specified in the "List of Recommended Trees for
Iowa City," a supplement attached with'the Tree Regulations, and
provisions of screening as to avoid duplication of planting re-
quirements.

3. The proposed ordinance, requires that trees be placed along streets
but on private property within eight (8) feet of the street right-
of-way rather than within the right-of-way. This change was made
for two reasons: (a) the existing ordinance not only requires that
trees be planted within the street right-of-way but also between
street rights-of-way and parking areas; the change would avoid a
duplication in planting requirements (as, for example, in the
Pentacrest Garden Court Apartments), and (b) maintenance responsi-
bility would be placed with the property owner rather than the
City. If for any reason trees can't be placed within eight feet of
the street right-of-way, the proposed ordinance requires that they
be placed within the street right-of-way or omitted. This pro-
vision avoids a multitude of problems for which an "innovative
parking area design plan" approval is necessary.
4. By the proposed ordinance trees, if planted in the street right-of-
way, are required to be placed 70 feet from intersecting arterial
streets, 50 feet from intersecting collector streets, and 30 feet
from intersecting residential streets. This is a vision clearance
provision at street intersections not presently required in the
existing ordinance.
5.
The proposed ordinance exempts parking lots with 18 or fewer
spaces. This is a major deviation from the existing ordinance
recommended by the Commission. This change represents a philo-
sophical view that the ordinance apply only to large parking areas
and, hence, the purpose of the Tree Regulations.
6.
Parking ramps and similar structures are exempted as well as
residential property in the CB Zone. This exemption takes into
consideration the difficulty or impossibility in some instances of
planting trees in such facilities or locations.
7.
Throughout the ordinance, trees are required to be placed four feet
or more from public sidewalks. The existing ordinance has no such
requirement but necessary to avoid tree roots from upheaving a
sidewalk.
8.
The proposed ordinance does not require that trees be located
between parking areas and buildings for several reasons: (a)
foundation structural failure can result from trees placed too
close to a building, (b) in more instances than not, the building
will provide more shading of the parking area than the low under-
J
story trees which would otherwise be required, (c) there is in many
cases simply not enough space between a building and a parking area
to insure the survival of a tree, and (d) such a provision was
considered by the Commission as more of an aesthetic requirement
for which a zoning ordinance cannot govern. In almost every in-
stance, the Commission has granted "innovative parking area design
plan" approval to eliminate trees from being planted between build-
ings and parking areas.

9. In lieu of the existing provision that trees be planted in islands
every tenth parking space in
a parking area, the proposed ordinance
requires that every parking space be within 40 feet
R
t,y
of a small
(understory) variety tree or within 60 feet of a large variety
tree. This
provides more flexibility in the placement of trees in
parking areas and
a more even distribution of trees.
t
r1
10. The existing ordinance provides for "innovative parking area
design
#�
plan" approval by the Commission. By such a provision the
Commission may waive certain
requirements of the Tree Regulations
if an alternative planting scheme is "innovative"
and meets the
intent of the Tree Regulations. This
process has been deleted in
the proposed ordinance as there is some question of the legality
the Commission
q
s3
of
having discretionary power to vary certain require-
ments of the Tree Regulations.
>a
There are many subtle changes which have been made to the Tree Regula-
tions. It is
S
suggested that the Council review the proposed regulations
without comparing it with the existing
ordinance to determine whether
the proposed regulations are acceptable to the Council_

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 13, 1979
TO: City Council and City Manager
FROM: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance
RE: Revised Fiscal Policy
Attached is a revised Fiscal Policy. The first draft was sent to
Council along with the Proposed Capital Improvement Program for
FY80-84 and was discussed by Council at an informal session after
budget discussions had been completed. At that time Council asked
us to reword the section on financing. In the initial draft, this
section (page two) read as follows:
FINANCING
As a general rule financing of capital improvements shall
meet the following guidelines:
A. The difference between tax dollars needed for operating
costs and the maximum General Fund levy shall be used
for capital project financing to provide for replacement
needs.
8. Every effort shall be made to seek out state or federal
grants or assistance.
The rewording section in the revised Fiscal Policy provides for
more flexibility. It states that it is the City's intention to
use property tax and operating revenues for capital project
financing. However, this is subject to availability of these
revenues in addition to the final decision of the City Council
on financing sources. Other small wording changes have been made
throughout the policy, but these did not change the content of
the first draft. The revised policy has been reviewed in detail
with our Bond
discussion of the srevisionsaduringeCouncilwtimeillbatathisaMonday',s
informal meeting. Council will need to adopt the revised policy
by motion.

FISCAL POLICY
ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENDITURES
1. BALANCED BUDGET:
The budget of the City of Iowa City shall be drawn so that es-
timated revenues and anticipated expenditures are equal. (State
law requirement)
2. TAX CEILING:
The budget of 'the City of Iowa City shall be drawn so that tax
revenue in the general operating fund does not require a tax levy
in excess of the limit established by State law.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
1. DEFINITION:
A. Capital Improvements - Capital items of a relatively
permanent nature, such as buildings, and other attachments
or improvements to land which are intended to remain so
attached such as storm drains, sewers. and streets.
Capital improvements have four characteristics:
(1) They last a long time.
(2) They are relatively expensive.
(3) They usually don't recur annually.
(4) They result in fixed assets.
B. Capital Expenditures - Those expenditures for public
improvements and their preliminary studies and the
acquisition of property or equipment for new public
improvements. Capital expenditures are expenditures for
capital improvements and shall be financed under the
provisions of this fiscal policy and planned in terms of the
five year Capital Improvement Program. Excluded from
capital expenditures are operating expenditures; those
annual expenditures which are necessary to the maintenance
of the city, the rendering of services, and providing for
normal operations.
2. PROJECT ANALYSIS:
Capital improvement projects for the five year period shall be
analyzed for the following:
(1) Compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan.
(2) Revenue source - A clear distinction shall be made between
tax supported and self -supported bonds (G.O, versus revenue
bonds). All projects supported by revenue bonds must

CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES
,zMICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB
• CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA
demonstrate ability to develop sufficient income to repay
their costs and costsassociated with financing. In
addition, proposed revenue sources shall be analyzed in
terms of whether the revenue can be used for the proposed
project and the probability that the revenue will be
available.
(3) Compatibility with the City Council's goals.
i
3. MAXIMUM LIMITATIONS ON GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS:
jThe following two maximum limitations shall apply to general
obligation bonds:
A. Debt Limit:
Debt incurred as a general obligation of the City of Iowa
City shall not exceed constitutional or statutory limits:
presently 5% of the market value of the taxable property
within the corporate limits as established by the City
Assessor. (State law requirement)
B. Borrowing Reserve:
A minimum of 20% borrowing reserve, or debt margin, shall be
maintained to meet emergencies, and if so used, the bonds
shall be retired as soon as reasonably possible in
accordance with the provisions of this fiscal policy.
4. CEILING ON DEBT SERVICE:
Debt service charges payable from the general tax levy shall not
exceed 25% of that levy in any one fiscal year.
5. FINANCING:
As a general rule financing of capital improvements shall meet
the following guidelines:
A. General property tax and operating revenues, to the extent
available, shall be used for capital project financing.
B. When general property tax and operating revenues are not
available under the maximum tax rates permitted by law or
deemed advisable by the Council, financing of capital
projects and replacements may be accomplished by the use of
bonds as outlined in Section 6 hereof.
C. Every effort shall be made to seek out state or federal
grants or assistance to offset a portion of the cost of
capital projects.

6. BOND ISSUES:
A. General obligation bonds - Bonds shall be.pf a serial type
and general obligations of the City of Iowa City. They shall
have a maximum maturity of 20 years. The maturity schedule
shall provide for level principal amortization payments
insofar as practicable.
B. Revenue Bonds - Revenue bond financing shall be determined
after first reviewing whether the use of revenue bonds
could be more advantageous than financing with general
obligation bonds. Revenue Bonds shall be issued in
accordance with the following:
(1) Amortization of principal and interest shall require
no more, including reserves, than approved estimates
will provide from net revenues to be available.
(2) In so far as possible, debt service, after the project
has been completed and in operation for one full
fiscal year, shall be level within practical
constraints each year.
(3) All revenue bonds for public purposes shall be sold at
public competitive bidding in accordance with the
requirements of Chapter 76, Code of Iowa as amended.

TO: City Council
FROM: Jim A. Hencin, CDBG Program Coordinator
RE: Architectural Barrier Removal/Curb Cut Program
Since the inception of the CDBG Program in Iowa City, monies have been
allocated for the purpose of removing architectural barriers to the
handicapped and elderly in municipal buildings and related public areas.
Much of the work funded during the first and second year CDBG programs
has been completed as planned. However, there remains one element of the
4th year CDBG program to be accomplished -- an Architectural Barrier/ Curb
Cut Program.
The first part of the enclosed report outlines a specific program for in-
stalling sidewalk curb cuts at locations where it has been determined that
there are handicapped users. Maps are included which show recommended
locations. $50,000 was allocated for this project, and we request Council's
approval to proceed with it.
The second part of the report provides an update on previous Architectural
Barrier Removal activities.

I. INTRODUCTION:
Due to the Housing Community Development Act of 1974 Iowa City
received funding for a Community Development Block Grant
Program. A portion of the CDBG program included an
Architectural Barrier Removal Program.' Supplement to the
Architectural Barrier Removal Program is the Curb Cut Program.
The Curb Cut Program received $50,000 in funding which will
accommodate construction of approximately 200 curb cuts. The
Curb Cut Program was designed to assist handicapped
individuals in their movement from one location to another.
Curbs bordering the edges of corners represent a significant
obstacle to handicapped individuals confined to wheelchairs or
crutches who wish to cross streets or gain access to buildings.
Historically, handicapped individuals have been severely
hampered from participating in pedestrian movement. The
primary goal of the Curb Cut Program is to alleviate the
obstacle of curbs for the handicapped person thus allowing the
handicapped individual to participate in pedestrian movement.
Indirectly, many residents also benefit from curb cuts,
elderly, school children, shoppers and cyclists all benefit
from the construction of curb cuts. With the $50,000
approximately 200 curb cuts will be constructed throughout the
Community Development Block Grant area.
II. PROGRAM PROCESS:
The first step in determining where the curb cuts would be
located involved solicitation of ideas from area residents who
were handicapped. Several meetings were held with the Johnson
County Committee for the Handicapped, Johnson County Committee
I on the Handicapped, University of Iowa Center for the
Handicapped, Systems Unlimited, and the Johnson County SEATS
program. Each group was contacted and sent a mailing which
provided:
A. Explanation of program.
i B. Review of process.
C. Questionnaire.
D. Time and place of next meeting.
At each meeting an overview of the Curb Cut Program was
presented. An explanation of the program's goals and
objectives were covered and then the specific tasks which the
City would be following were outlined. An implementation
timetable was discussed along with the framework for timely
i completion. Ideas and locations were then solicited from the
various groups along with any other types of problems which
! they have encountered in travelling around the City. The ideas
and locations which were solicited were then prioritized
according to which locations the various groups felt were the
most important. Many individuals not able to attend the
meeting responded by sending in the questionnaires. The

,.�h11CROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB
• CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA
"N 2
locations were then situated on a map to pinpoint specific
spots for construction. From the locations provided through
the various meetings, approximately 130 curb cuts were cited
by handicapped group$. Since this number was fewer than the
200 curb cuts which were allocated in the program all the curb
cuts requested by the various handicapped groups were
included. To obtain the budgeted number of curb cuts (200) the
staff reviewed areas around public and religious centers, to
determine what areas did not have curb cuts and would benefit
by the placement of curb cuts. These locations were then added
to the list of curb cuts supplied by the handicapped groups.
Through this process a total of 199 curb cuts were finally
located throughout the Community Development Block Grant area.
III. LOCATION:
The locations of the 199 curb cuts are shown on the inclosed
two maps. Most of the curb cuts are located along heavily
traveled pedestrian corridors and other high use areas. The
areas including the downtown redevelopment and adjacent
streets are not included in the Curb Cut Program because most
if not all of the corners in this area have or soon will have
curb cuts. The locations of the proposed curb cuts are based
upon:
1. Locations cited by handicapped groups.
2. Public (hign use) areas.
3. Religious centers.
Due to the lower number of curb cuts pinpointed by handicapped
groups, all the locations selected by handicapped people were
included in the Curb Cut Program.
i IV. IMPLEMENTATION:
j The implementation schedule for the completion of the Curb Cut
Program has been set for early fall 1979. It was hoped that
this curb cut program would be combined with the crosswalk and
sidewalk projects in the Neighborhood Site Improvements
Program. The Neighborhood Site Improvements Program is
j currently engaged in a large scale sidewalk and crosswalk
project. Through the combination of the two programs more work
can be accomplished in a comprehensive manner. By combining
the two programs in the implementation stage the work can be
finished in a timely manner. Initial bids are scheduled for
early July with work to follow shortly thereafter. If
i construction follows in an uninterrupted way all work should
be completed by fall 1979 in a timely manner.
The actual specifications and diagrams for curb cuts are shown
on the inclosed page. All curb cuts will meet the standards
portrayed in the curb cut diagrams. Standards outlined on the
following page are based upon federal and City guidelines.

HANDICAPPED PARKING AND CURB CUT PROGRAM SURVEY
The City has set aside $50,000 for a curb cut program which will
be run in conjunction with the Architectural Barrier Removal
Program. This program is funded with Community Development
Block Grant funds. Your input is needed in listing specific
locations for curb cuts and parking. It is important to note
that the area currently under Downtown Redevelopment will be
building their own curb cuts. This curb cut program will
primarily address the areas directly adjacent to the Downtown
Redevelopment Area; however, it would be advantageous to
receive a list of other areas in Iowa City that you feel should
be considered.
1. Please list locations where you feel curb cuts are needed.
Put a 111" by the highest priority area and a "2" for the
next highest priority area and so forth. Approximate cost
for a curb cut is $250, this project therefore will be able
to fund 200 curb cuts.

2. The City has received comments on the quantity and
adequacy of spaces for Handicapped Parking. We would like
to know if (1) parking is currently adequate, (2) what are
some of the problems with the parking as it currently
exists_
a. Are there any areas in the City where handicapped
parking is needed and not being supplied? Please
list these locations.
b. What types of problems are encountered when using the
spaces reserved for handicapped parking, i.e. width,
accessibility, etc.?

DOWNTOWN PARKING PROGR+4M
LOCATION OF RESERVED PARKING SPACES
The reserving of appropriately sized parking
spaces, located for convenient access of fre-
quently used facilities, will enable many
physically limited individuals to live more
independently. [lead -on parking spaces should be
a minimum of 1216" wide and located near the
entrance of the building to be served. When
several facilities are to be served, the spaces
should be centrally located.
At this time, it is recommended that twenty
parking spaces in the downtown area be reserved
for the physically limited. As the program
develops, more spaces should be reserved through-
out Iowa City, including spaces in the Towncrest
area, at the Mall, Wardway and K Mart shopping
centers, and at grocery stores.
Two spaces in each of the following six down-
town parking lots should be reserved:
Chauncey Swan Plaza, Washington and Gilbert
Streets
Civic Center Lot, Iowa Avenue and Van Buren
Street
Library Lot, College and Gilbert Streets
Municipal Lot, College and Linn Streets
Recreation Center Lot, Burlington Street at
Ralston Creek
Washington Street Lot, Washington and Clinton
Streets
In addition,head-on metered spaces should be
reserved on Iowa Avenue and Washington to serve
the nearby University and commercial facilities.
The following eight spaces have been identified
to be reserved with 5 -hour meters. It should be
noted that five of the spaces are located at the
end of the parking areas where additional space
is already available, minimizing the need to com- C`
bine two stalls.

Dear Ms. Milkman:
Thank you for sending us a copy of the Environmental Review
Record for the Nelson Adult Center. We certainly hope that the
requested funds will be granted to make the Center's facility
more efficient and accessible, and to provide a permanent home
for the Center's programs. However, we would like to comment
on a few statements contained In the Environmental Review
Record and hopefully clarify a few points from our perspective.
First, on page 4, the last paragraph states there Is ". . an
obvious need for a permanent expanded program to serve develop-
mentally disabled adults In the area." Although we agree with
the need for permanent programs to serve developmentally dis-
abled adults, we question the assumption of a need for expanded
programs. I am not familiar with the Johnson County Department
of Social Services survey mentioned. However, the Seven Year
Plan for Deliverof Servicto the Mentally Retarded and
Developmentally sa a es zens oBenton, " owa, 0 nson,
Jones s Linn and Washington CountieDlstrict 10) (published
In 1976 and available at the Field Office of the Department of
Social Services) gives the following population estimates for
Johnson County:
Mildly Mentally Retarded 1927
Moderately Mentally Retarded 129
Severely Mentally Retarded 76
Profoundly Mentally Retarded 32
Total Mentally Retarded Population 2164
Total Developmentally Disabled Population 3607

Of these, virtually all In the mild category, unless multiply
disabled, are competitively employable and would require little
or no support services. Most of the moderately retarded
Individuals would be employable In the general labor market
or In a sheltered situation and would require some support
services on a temporary or intermittent basis. Some, probably
those with multiple handicaps, could use services like those
provided at Nelson. Again, though, most of these are capable
of acquiring sufficient skills to attain some degree of Inde-
pendence. The 76 severely retarded individuals would have the
greatest need for a program like that at Nelson. But, again,
through good training, many of these are capable of sheltered
employment and semi -independence. Many of the profoundly
retarded Individuals would require 24-hour care (Including
nursing care and assistance with eating and tolleting) that
may be beyond the scope of the Nelson program. Furthermore
the numbers cited in the Seven Year Plan are for all age
groups. The actual number of adults age 20 and over) makes
up an estimated 63$ of these figures.
The 100 severely handicapped children served by the
University of Iowa Hospital Schools and area schools were
cited as potential clients of the Adult Center. It is our
understanding that most of the children at the Hospital
School are from throughout the State of Iowa and will prob-
ably return to their home counties after graduation. Also,
with the general decline In population growth and continued
advancement In the prevention of birth defects and mental
retardation, It is hoped that fewer children In the future
will require special programming and education.
Finally, we should mention that Goodwill Industries has
an Activity Center that offers a program for severely handl-
capped adults that differs from Nelson in structure and
content, but is capable of serving the same population group.
i We have recently been serving 12 - 15 Individuals dally. The
program is capable of expansion within existing facilities If
inecessary.
I The last two paragraphs on page B state "people... who have
I a state of being that requires lifelong care and help," and
"retarded citizens of our community need consistent, lifelong
programming for their needs." We would like to mention that
although rehabilitation for the developmentally disabled adult
may be rather longterm and steps toward Independence are often
slow and painful, the goal achieved should be Independence
whenever possible and not "lifelong care." The mentally re-
tarded population Is more diverse In capabilities and needs
MICROFILMED BY

CEDAR RAPIDS•DES t110INES
;MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB
` T .
Milkman

• CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA
than the "normal" population. While some retarded citizens
may need intensive lifelong care as mentioned above, most do
not.
On page 9, third paragraph, it is stated, "Goodwill Indus-
tries, a major employer of severely handicapped adults In
Iowa City, is located five blocks from the center." We would
like to point out that we are not just an "employer of handi-
capped adults." For the most part, we do not hire handicapped
adults but rather provide rehabilitation. Our programs Include
work adjustment training (teaching basic work habits), Job
readiness and job placement, Independent Living Skills, and
the already mentioned Activity Center, which serves the more
severely disabled adult through personal and social adjustment.
One aspect of the Activity Center Is the transitional program,
which allows clients to be paid for work done In the workshop
while being evaluated for a possible move Into our Work Adjust-
ment Program. For those few clients who are not placeable
In competitive employment we do offer an extended employment
program (present enrollment 15).
On page 12 It states that "there are at present no other
local facilities which provide day care and training to severely
handicapped adults." Our Activity Center does so and can
presently serve 20 clients. Once again, reference Is made to
being "employed at Goodwill Industries." The last sentence
indicates "Termination of the program would be a real loss to
the community as well as an added expense since most of the
adults at the Nelson Center would have to be Institutionalized."
Our program could expand to serve a larger population If
necessary, and many Nelson clients would be candidates for our
Activity Center or Work Adjustment Program. We would agree,
however, that termination of the program would be a real loss
to the community.
The Johnson County A.R.C. has accomplished much toward
meeting the needs of mentally retarded children and adults In
this community and should be commended. The Nelson Adult
Center Is an example of their Investment and Involvement, and
we certainly are pleased that they may receive funds so that
they may remain In their present location and improve their
facilities.
We would like to invite you, other appropriate city per-
sonnel, members of the A.R.C. and staff at the Nelson Adult
Center to visit and talk with us, in order•to develop a
better understanding of our program and purposes.

Dear Mr. Watson:
Thank you for sending me a copy of your letter to Marianne Milkman. With
your permission I shall make a few comments.
From your letter you commented on the seven year plan. When surveys are
done all persons are taken into consideration. I believe that the Department of
Social Services did a thorough job. I also realize that a number of these persons
became invisible within the community. lluwevur, in my experience with this
pupulation there is, and will continue to be a hued for more and better programs.
We have also found that the children of this population also become adults and
need adult services.
In our experience those persons that are served in the Nelson Adult Center are
able to gain "independence" to their near maximum. They are able to do contract
work that is provided and participate in the other programs which includes
educational services provided by a qualified teacher. Whenever possible we like
to sue persons advance to a higher level of programming. We do not feel that
this type of person will reach cu)npclitive employment especially in the Iowa
City arua where- Lilo students of the University of Iowa constitute a large work
force. The Nelson Center also provides services for those needing toileting and
eating assistance. We also provide for those that are non ambulatory and I
believe we can provide for even those you say need nursing care. We are
prepared, if at all possible, to provide- services for any referral.
Your program serving what you call severely handicapped adults is not the same
as the Nulson Center, We provide a nwru work oriented program along with
Lilt! other areas, do not rupeal. skill training if Ihuy are being taught in other

about in the Nelson Center are not those people. We still have a number of
professionals in our field that believe that mental retardation is a curable
condition.
The 100 Beverly and profoundly handicapped children served by the Hospital
School are not all from throughout the State. Between 60 and 70 of them live in
the Johnson County area and attend the school on a daily basis. It is also time
for us to think about their future ncuds.
I
j Instead of elaborating on all of your cuncerns I want to make a couple of final
points.
I believe that no other program in Johnson County currently exists that provides
appropriate day care and training to severely handicapped adults. To this date
previuus diructurs of Goodwill LuhisLries havu not provided proper and appropriate
services to the most Beverly handicapped. We have persons that have been placed
in the Nelson program from the Goodwill Activity Program for a number of years
and only recently spend a.few hours a day in other areas.
j
The previous directors have said that they needed persons in the Activity Center
to pay for the space. The Iowa City area and Johnson County needs a good 4
shelLured workshop. I believe that you could provide that service and procure
good contracts for persons that will not be able to work in community jobs. There r
would be a number of people and agencies that would prefer Goodwill as a sheltered
workshop and work adjustment program and to eliminate the Activity Center.
I hope you are able to understand my concerns both as an administrator and
parent of the developmentally disabled.

Dear Neal:
You have asked my opinion as to whether or not a problem would
exist under the conflict of interest rules if the City of Iowa City would
enter into a contract with the Johnson County Association for Retarded
Citizens while you serve on the Board of Directors of that association.
In my opinion a conflict of interest which could well void the
contract would exist under those circumstances under the terms of
Section 302. 5 of the 1979 Code of Iowa. I would therefore advise you to
resign from the Beard of Directors of the association in the event the City
does intend to contract with them.
JWH:vb
Very truly yours,
