Home My WebLink About1979-06-26 Info PacketCIty of Iowa Ci j ' `G MEMORANDUM Date: June 21, 1979 To: City ouncil ° From: Neal Berlin, City Manager Re: Revised Transit Routes and Schedules These revised transit routes and schedules will be discussed at the informal Council determine if it consession of June 25. The Council will be asked to curs with the proposed changes under two circumstances: 1. If the "delayed" State funding becomes available. 2. If the State funding is not available and fares have to be increased to cover the additional cost. Both alternatives are discussed in detail, herein. In response to the demands being placed upon the transit system by expanding ridership, increasing traffic congestion, and general City growth, it is necessary to revise the network of bus routes if we are to continue providing the level of transit service the citizens of Iowa City have come to expect. Major route and schedule revisions have been needed for at least the past two (2) years, perhaps longer, but more pressing needs have always delayed their implementation. The crisis of this past winter has made us painfully aware that these revisions can wait no longer. Since early Spring, discussions have been ongoing within the Transit Division regarding possible route and schedule realignments. The following proposal represents a synthesis of ideas from the drivers, the staff, and the Transit Manager. It also has been reviewed by Keith FI hriese on. This plan d of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commissioes not Purport to solve all of the problems the transit system has encountered, or is likely to encounter, but it does attempt, within the constraints of equipment and budget limitations, to alleviate as many as possible. The new bus routes and schedules are designed to accomplish five objectives: a• To provide adequate time for each route so that drivers can provide safe and comfortable transportation on the posted schedules during normal driving conditions. b• To alleviate severe rush-hour overcrowding, so that persons are not left standing at the curb and hopefully not crowded in under "crush" conditions.

Persons along Melrose Avenue now riding the Hawkeye Bus would be served by the new West Benton route. 2. WEST BENTON (Light Blue) This route is completely redesigned to improve service to the area of Iowa City south and west of University Heights. This route would serve Mark IV Apartments, areas along Melrose Avenue formerly served by the Hawkeye Bus, the newly developed area south of West Benton Street, and University Heights. Direct service would be provided to the North Entrance of University Hospital. 3. OAKCREST (Pink) This new route serves the Seville area of West Benton Street and Oakcrest est Benton bus.

WARDWAY (Dark Green) This route is the same as the current Wardway route, except that the Y extension presently operated to the trailer parks south of Moore Business Forms would be discontinued. (This extension is currently averaging only eleven (11) passengers per day - less than one person per trip). The Wardway bus would be operated every 45 minutes, and paired with North Dubuque. I 5. MALL (Red) fThe Mall bus would rerouted via South Clinton Street, Kirkwood Avenue 1 and Lower Muscatine Road directly to the Mall. This routing will take much route pair lto function ess time nreas nablythe nwelleevenldurinng rush-hour.owing the Those parts of the present Mall route that would be bypassed would be covered by other new routes. 6. LAKESIDE (Light Blue) The Lakeside bus would operate via South Gilbert Street and Highway 6 Bypass to Fair Meadows, Lakeside and Bon Aire. This routing shortens the time required and also reduces capacity problems, which should ' allow the elimination of our"Lakeside Express" tripper. Several trips daily would be run to Goodwi 11, as the Goodwill bus will no longer operate. The routing allows flexibility to serve the new Hy - Vee complex on Highway 6 when it is completed. 7. SYCAMORE (Dark Blue) 1 This new route replaces parts of the present Mall and Lakeside routes, and also penetrates the poorly served areas southeast es K - Mart. The route operates outbound via Gilbert Street, Bowery Street, South Dodge Street, and Keokuk Street; loops through Highway 6 camore rreand Hihland Avenue- then turns downtown by the saTaylor Drive, me routestreet This routing bypasses the K -Mart parking lot, travels Highland Avenue only in one direction, and I avoids the Summit Street bridge, all of which are difficult to traverse with a bus. i 8. TOWNCREST (Pink) The Towncrest route is realigned to travel both inbound and outbound via Muscatine Avenue. This routing will shorten significantly the time required for the run, and will better serve the residents along Muscatine Avenue. The neighborhood southwest of Muscatine Avenue currently served by the Towncrest bus will be covered by another route. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES .'_.-19 - 4 r1 9. EAST COLLEGE (Yellow) The East College route will be moved south from East College Street to Burlington Street, Muscatine Avenue, and Court Street. This change will shorten the time required, will provide additional service in the Burlington -Muscatine corridor, and will lend itself very well to the addition of an extra peak -period tripper. The bus would no longer operate to the front of City High, but would serve the school just as well at Court and Fourth Avenue. The East College Street area would be covered by a new route. 10. SEVENTH AVENUE (Light Green) This new route would serve a large area of the near east side presently covered by several different routes. This bus, running out only as far as Seventh Avenue, should ease capacity problems in the east side sorority/fraternity area and reduce the need for additional east side tripper buses: This route would initially operate on College Street, but with the repair of the Washington Street bridge, would move to Washington Street. 11. ROCHESTER (Red) it The Rochester route itself would not be changed, but it would be coupled with a much shorter Mall route, which should make the overall i pair infinitely more workable. 12. . NORTH DODGE (Dark Blue) The North Dodge route remains unchanged except that it utilizes North i Gilbert Street and Church Street, rather than duplicating the Rochester service on Jefferson and Market Streets. This realignment penetrates the densely populated near northside, which previously has not been well served. The two morning and two afternoon trips to ACT and Westinghouse would be resumed. 13. NORTH DUBUQUE (Dark Green) I This route would be unchanged, although the level of service is reduced by dropping to 45 -minute headways. This route has a relatively low ridership, as it serves only the Mayflower Apartments and Forest View Trailer Park, the area south of Park Road being much better served by CAMBUS. I 14. MANVILLE HEIGHTS (Yellow) i This route would be unchanged, although shortening the East College route would allow this end to adhere closer to the posted schedule. This proposal requires that fourteen (14) buses, rather than the present twelve (12), be on the street all day, plus one additional bus in the i MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 5 evening. Even though several of the "tripper" buses should no longer be needed, the net result will be an increase of $76,720 in operating expenditures. Assuming present trends continue, approximately forty percent of this cost, or $30,680, will be available through the farebox; the remainder must be raised from other sources. Federal transit assistance will be of no help at the present time. Section 18 of the Surface Transportation Act of 1978 provides operating and capital assistance for small systems such as ours, but this money has already been allocated exclusively for capital projects. Large-scale Federal operating assistance will be available under the UMTA Section 5 program, but only after we achieve SMSA/Urbanized Area designation. It now appears that increased transit assistance based on this designation may not be available until after the 1980 census, or October 1, 1981. There apparently are only two reasonable funding alternatives. First, the City has not yet received the bulk of its FY78 State transit assistance, because $66,800 was held back by State auditors. We have been informed that the auditor's exception has been overruled by the Director of IDOT'S Public Transit Division. Assuming this is correct, this money could be used to finance the service expansion. These funds have not been programmed, and therefore could be used to meet these additional service needs. If for some reason the auditor's ruling stands, and the City is unable to successfully pursue its claim, by litigation, if necessary, the only remaining funding source would be an increase in fares. The fare increase can be justified by several factors. First, the service improvements brought about by additional routes will benefit almost every area of the community, as overcrowding should be alleviated and schedule adherence should improve. Second, the costs of operation, most notably fuel but also labor, parts and supplies, have risen dramatically since the last fare increase in 1976. State transit operating assistance for FY80 will fall short of our request by about $25,000. (Because revenues have increased and the State has postponed several capital projects, we should be able to stay within our overall budget). The reason given for this shortfall is that the State has less money to appropriate this year than last. Because the City is one of the few recipients being awarded more than last year, and is also benefiting from additional capital funding for three new buses, supplemental funding is out of the question. On the local level, the transit budget allows very little room for service expansion. In order to maximize State assistance the budget was drawn very tightly - there is almost no "fat" that could be converted to this purpose. Likewise, any reapportionment of funds to favor transit will surely result in a cutback of services or projects in the other City departments affected. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 6 To continue operating our existing routes with twelve buses, augmented by "trippers" during peak periods, is simply not a choice. To attempt to do so will invite repetition of the crisis of this past winter. We have had to turn people away on one route already this summer, and several other routes are now carrying capacity loads at peak hour, even though school is out. This demand is unprecedented. When the student population returns in August, we will be swamped. If the basic fare is raised to 354, $12.00 for a monthly pass, which is the current Coralville rate, an additional $80,000 will be generated. (This projection assumes that for every 10 percent increase in fares, ridership decreases by five percent). The additional revenue would provide ample resources for the two new bus routes and would also provide a cushion for increasing diesel fuel costs, which will approach $100,000 for FY80. It is requested that the City Council consider these recommendations and respond with questions and suggestions. If the general framework is acceptable we will. immediately begin the task of reorganizing our internal operating structure. Final decisions on route alignments, however, cannot be delayed beyond the end of June, if the monumental task of rewriting all our maps and schedules is to be completed in time for the beginning of the Fall Semester.

The records indicate that late in 1974 the staff recommended that the Lafayette Street bridge be abandoned and that it would cost $195,000 to replace it. Mrs. Frieda Hieronymus appeared at that time indicating the lack of a bridge was detrimental to the area. Subsequently, the matter was referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission and during April 1975, the Planning and Zoning Com- mission recommended that the bridge be vacated and removed. The City Council approved the recommendation. jm1/12 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 133/ City of Iowa Cit MEMORANDUM DATE: June 22, 1979 TO: City Council FROM: Dennis R.

These 17 units consist of 6 owner occupied and 11 renter occupied units. Staff review of housing conditions suggest that 4 of the units, all single family houses, possibly could be moved to other sites. The remaining 13 would be demolished. As you are aware, a site located in the project area is to be created for the purpose of developing 10 new units of multi -family housing. We would therefore anticipate a net loss of 3 housing units from the project area. It should be noted that during the interim, while HUD is reviewing the Small Cities application, staff will be assessing the potential for relocation resources, including vacant lots, in the areas immediately adjoining the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood. The two housing projects for the handicapped and elderly proposed in the downtown represent additional relocation resources which would be close to the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood.

As you are aware, a site located in the project area is to be created for the purpose of developing 10 new units of multi -family housing. We would therefore anticipate a net loss of 3 housing units from the project area. It should be noted that during the interim, while HUD is reviewing the Small Cities application, staff will be assessing the potential for relocation resources, including vacant lots, in the areas immediately adjoining the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood. The two housing projects for the handicapped and elderly proposed in the downtown represent additional relocation resources which would be close to the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood.

These alleys were scheduled for paving under our Neighborhood Site Improvement project following requests from residents and review and concurrence -by CCN. We have determined that since both churches provide a "community" service, i.e., Congregate Meals for the elderly, and thYs generates a considerable amount of traffic, there was certain validity in paving the adjacent alleys at City expense (using CDBG funds). According to our review, the alleys in question provide the principal•access to these churches. Bette Meisel has stated that Congregate Meals for the elderly will be continue to be served even beyond the time when the new senior center is opened. jm3/2 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES e�)Clty of Iowa CIC' MEMORANDUM y Date: June 20, 1979 p To: Dennis Kraft From: Jim Hencin x Re: Bus Stop Shelters and Benches Following the June 4 discussions with the City Manager and City Council s concerning bus stop shelters and benches under the Neighborhood Site Improvement project, our staff met with Hugh Mose and Dick Plastino.

Please see the attachment. The essence of the program is that two categories of persons are eli- gible for either full or partial payment of sidewalk repair costs: 1. Participants in the Section 8 program or owner occupants who are either elderly, handicapped or low and moderate income are eligi- ble for full payment under the program, i.e., 100% of actual repair cost paid by CDBG funds. 2. Owners or rental properties whose tenants are elderly, handicapped or low and moderate income (excluding students) may be eligible for half payment, i.e., 50% of actual repair costs paid by CDBG funds. Since the Sidewalk Repair Program for these two areas is tied to the enforcement of the City's sidewalk maintenance ordinance and not all residents will qualify for assistance, some provision will have to be made to pay for these repairs if a property owner decides not to. We suggest that general City funds be used for this purpose; however at this time we do not know the exent of their need. This will probably not be determined until the sidewalk inspector issues notices to prop- erty owners. JH/id Attachment MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES NEIGHBORHOOD SITE IMPROVEMENT SIDEWALK REPAIR PROGRAM (to be carried out in the Northside and Hickory Hill areas) As a part of the Neighborhood Site Improvement Program sidewalk repairs will be carried out in several areas. In two of these areas (Northside and Hickory Hill) this program will be carried out through enforcement of the sidewalk ordinance. This ordinance basically grants the City Engineer the authority to mark those pieces of sidewalk which need repair and then notify those residents whose property that sidewalk is located on that they must either have the sidewalk repaired, or the City will have it done for them and bill them. The Commmunity Development Block Grant funds budgeted to the Neighborhood Site Improvement Program will be used to provide Sidewalk Repair Assistance (SRA) to those residents who cannot afford to pay for repairs themselves. In order to be eligible for SRA, a resident must be of low and moderate income, elderly, or handicapped (according to HUD definitions). These persons will be eligible for 100% assistance. Renter occupied units will be able to receive 50% assistance if they have low and moderate income, elderly or handicapped tenants and the owner certifies that he will not increase the rent more than what is required due to inflation for a two year period. The following is the process which will be used to carry out the NSI sidewalk repair program: 1.1 A sidewalk inspector will be hired by the Department of Public Works using Community Development Block Grant funds from the NSI program. 2. Bids will be let for the repair of sidewalk in the Northside, Hickory Hill, Longfellow, South Central and Creekside areas. 3. The sidewalk inspector will walk all sidewalks in the areas requiring repair, marking each panel which needs to be replaced, keeping track of where the panels are located and how many are marked. In the Northside and Hickory Hill areas, the number of panels which must be replaced will be listed by address. 4. All properties where repairs are required will receive a notice to that effect from the City Engineer. This notice will state that the property owner has 30 days in which to repair the sidewalk, or the City will do it and assess the cost to the property owner on their next annual taxes. The notice will also include an explanation of the SRA program, what the eligibility requirements are and where to go to apply. 5. Any person who meets the eligibility requirements for the SRA program will be able to apply for assistance at the ;Civic Center. Sidewalk repair for their property will then MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOIIIES z be completed and charged to the CDBG program. In all cases where property owners are not eligible for assistance, the property owner will either arrange for his own sidewalk repairs or allow the City's, contractor to make the repairs. In the latter case, the resident will then be billed for -repairs. If the resident does not wish to pay for the repairs at that time, the City will pay for the repairs out of the general fund, and the cost will be assessed to the property owner on'his taxes along with 10% interest ori the nonpaid balance. The assessment will cover a period of years determined by the Council, and will be returned to the general fund. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140114ES t' No ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS , All residents of the Northside and Hickory Hill areas are eligible for financial assistance if they fall into one of these categories: 1. Section 8 Participants: Landlords or households who are participating in the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program are eligible for a full grant payment for sidewalk repairs. Certification of Section 8 participation must be presented. 2. Elderly or Handicapped Residents: Residents who are 63 years of age or older or are handicapped are entitled to full grant payment for sidewalk repairs. Landlords with tenants who are elderly or handicapped are eligible for grant payments of one-half of his/her sidewalk repairs. A. Elderly applicants must: 1) submit proof of age, 2) submit proof of home ownership. B. Handicapped applicants must: 1) submit proof of handicap (visual certification by processing employee may suffice), 2) submit proof of home ownership. C. Landlords must: 1) submit proof of lease to elderly or handicapped tenants, 2) prove that tenants are elderly or handicapped. 3. Low or Moderate Income Households: Residents whose total household income, including interest accumulated from assets, falls into one of the following categories are entitled to full grant payment for sidewalk repairs. Landlords renting to low or moderate income residents (excluding students) will be entitled to a grant payment of one- half of the cost of the sidewalk repairs.

It is also apparent that the wereComprehensive Plan Coordinating Committee literally reviewed every word and punctuation rk in every draft of the Plan, would be far too time consuming.

Zoning It is recommended that the Council endorse the concept whereby the Planning and elementsof Commission the Zoning Ordinance and efurther that decisions t theLegal and oPlanning sstaffs tbee -given the responsibility of doing the actual drafting of the ordinance. One method of doing this would be for the staff to utilize a matrix format which will enable the ready comparison of the various permitted uses, height, yard and bulk regulations of the various zones. As a part of this procedure, it is anticipated that draft materials which will periodically be sent to the Planning and Zoning Commission will also be sent to various interested community organizations including the Chamber of Commerce, the Iowa City Homebuilders, the Iowa City Board of Realtors, and applicable City boards and commissions as well as the Department of Housing and Inspection Services. All of the above mentioned groups will be given an opportunity to make their comments on the substantive elements of the Zoning Ordinance to the Planning and Zoning Commission probably within a two-week time frame. Once all of the basic decisions have been made on the ordinance, a final draft will be prepared for review by the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to the time of public hearing being held on the ordinance. All of the above mentioned work should be able to be completed during a four month period (September -December, 1979). The Planning staff will be available to discuss this subject with the City Council at Mondays informal session.

On Friday, June 15, 1979, Bill Klatt of Stanley Consultants presented preliminary plans for the boat ramp at Sturgis Corner for discussion with Gene Dietz and Marianne Milkman. The plans indicated severe problems for the site as follows: 1. Parking for only five cars with trailers can be provided. If all the trees are cleared from an additional 120 feet of riverfront area and a retaining wall is constructed, parking for 10 additional cars without trailers could be provided. (The cost of this additional parking 'is not included in the cost estimate.) 2. In order to allow usage of the ramp with 1,000 cfs outflow from the Coralville Reservoir the ramp would need to be built 40 feet into the river. The Iowa Natural Resources Council may consider this to cause undue obstruction of the river channel. (With a minimum flow of 1,000 cfs the ramp would be usable on an average all but about one month during the year in late August/September.) 3. Almost all trees on this portion of the riverbank would have to be removed which is a costly procedure since some of the trees are very large. 4. Cost estimates which include ramp construction, tree removal, grading, fill, an asphalt parking area, gravel access road and design costs are close to $40,000, contrary to the $32,000 budgeted on the preliminary recommendations of Engineering. Bill Klatt indicated that his engineers had looked at a variety of ways of constructing the ramp and providing parking and this design was the best one feasible. The State Conservation Commission is unwilling to provide matching funds for a ramp and parking providing less than 15 to 20 car/trailer MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOVIES 133el I i I I i i � I i a i parking spaces. In their experience, boat ramps attract large numbers of fishermen and recreational boaters and the Commission generally plans for parking for up to 30 cars and trailers for a single lane boat ramp. The Conservation Commission will have marine fuel tax funds available for boat. ramp construction in FY80. In addition to requesting a construction permit and matching funds from the State Conservation Commission, regulations also require us to obtain permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Department of Environmental Quality, and the Iowa Natural Resources Council. An environmental assessment is required by the U.S. Corps of Engineers, the other agencies only require preliminary designs. On Monday, June 18, the preliminary boat ramp design presented by Bill Klatt was discussed by Dennis Kraft, Dennis Showalter, Jim Hencin, and Marianne Milkman and the consensus was that it would appear to be inappropriate to construct the boat ramp at the Sturgis Corner site, particularly since Mace Braverman of Southgate Development Company had already expressed concern about people parking on the Sturgis Corner road if parking for the boat ramp was inadequate and in that the Iowa State Conservation Commission would not cost share in the project without the provision of 15-20 car/trailer parking spaces. Alternate Locations The Riverfront Commission wants to emphasize the location of a boat ramp and parking area below the Burlington Street dam and as close to the dam as feasible. Alternate sites for a ramp below the dam are now being investigated at three principal locations which might be satisfactory: 1. Napoleon Park. This site would be about 1 3/4 miles downstream from the Burlington Street dam and therefore rather far away from the dam. Parking would be available. 2. Pollution Control Plant. This site does not appear to be very desirable for reasons of topography and liability. 3. Sturgis Ferry Park. This site has excellent possibilities with plenty of potential parking. However the condition and distance of the landfill from the river will have to be investigated and the question of ownership of this park must still be resolved. Stanley Consultants will assist in the preliminary engineering analysis of these and any other possible boat ramp sites. All sites will be evaluated according to accessibility, distance from the Burlington Street dam, feasibility, cost and so on. The evaluations will be presented to the Riverfront Commission for a recommendation. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOIRES 3 r� r Eligibility of the Project:for CDBG Fundin Federal Regulations: Section 570.201 C 2 indicates .that recreational facilities are eligible activities. Section 570.302 requires that an applicant certify that its Community Development program has been developed so as to give maximum feasible priority to activities which will benefit low and moderate income persons or aid in the elimination of slums and blight or be of particular urgency. Section 570.302(b)3 states that an application shall be presumed to principally benefit low and moderate income persons where not less than 75% of therp ogram funds are used for projects principally benefitting low/moderate income persons. Section 570.302(b)l states that all projects and activities must either principally benefit low and moderate income persons (or aid in prevention or elimination of slums and blight...). These regulations are somewhat contradictory and open to interpretation. The Riverfront Improvements Project was not in the original 4th year application but was included by the City Council in the 4th year budget amendment as part of the 10% local option changes permitted by HUD without their review. HUD will not review the project until our Performance Report in January 1980. The regulations for this report will be published this fall. We are of the opinion that this project is probably an eligible activity but will pursue the matter further in order to be 100% certain. jm3/20 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES i R f.� l City of Iowa Cit;~' MEMORANDUM Date: June 20, 1979 To: Neal Berlin and City Council From: Dick Plastino Re: 1) Hot Mix Overlay, 2) Chipseal and 3) Pulverize/Chipseal Work List for Summer of 1979 Council allocated $272,397 in capital outlay for asphalt resurfacing and chipseal. Approximately $87,000 of this is needed to .balance over expenditures in the Street Division for the year which ends June 30, 1979. This means a total of $185,000 is available for street work this summer. HOT MIX OVERLAY This program consists of applying two to three inches of asphaltic concrete to existing streets to improve 'rideability and structural defects. The list prepared by Public Works is shown below: Cost Hollywood - Sycamore to Taylor $32,657 Alley between Dubuque and Linn south of Iowa $ 5,659 Grove Street - Beldon to Riverside $13,088 Lee Street - River to Highwood $ 7,639 Ridge - Virginia to approximately 1658 Ridge $ 3,487 Kimball - Governor to approximately 440 Kimball $ .5,194 Riverside Drive - River Street to approximately the entrance to the EC Mabie Theater $ 7,894• Dodge Street - 800 through 900 block - install super -elevated curb $50,000 NOTE: This cost is only approximate.

We*'will attempt to get State participation in this project. Subtotal: $125,618 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 1335 2 _ CHIPSEAL The chipseal program would be similar to that run a few years ago. You may remember it by the use of brown stone as the aggregate. Many citizens of Iowa City are not fond of this program but there are a few alternates that seal the street against moisture penetration and yet are low in cost. 9 Slurry seal has been used but we feel that it is not the best product; it is brittle and it often strips off of the road. It does not appear to seal cracks as well as chipseal. The other alternate is to do nothing. While this will eliminate the problem of the loose rock, it does lead to short and long-term deteriora- tion of the streets. Public Works strongly suggests that we adopt this program. In this period of skyrocketing asphalt prices, chipseal represents a real bargain. There will be complaints from bicyclists and there will be complaints from adjacent property owners. We believe that the benefits of the program offset the perceived disadvantages of the program. The list is as follows: Dodge - Governor to Burlington $11,048 possible. e.

Public Works agrees that this road is in need of overlay; however, all of the roads listed on the proposed program appear to be higher priority. Public Works would also suggest that the cost of the asphalt project this year not exceed approximately $185,000. The remainder of the funds are needed to balance the budget year which ends June 30, 1979. In addition, there is no guarantee at this point that this coming winter will be an easy one for the Street Division budget. As opposed to last year, this year we do want to provide some slack throughout the year in the budget to handle unanticipated expenditures. This past year we have put the road use tax fund well into the red. We are starting off the new fiscal year attempting to provide some slack throughout the year so that there is a surplus of some sort at the end of the next fiscal year. At this point, Council should give direction to the Public Works Department to adopt the program as specified or make changes. We do want to get this bid very soon so that the work can be done during August and September. bdw3/8-10 cc: Craig Minter Gene Dietz Denny Gannon Rosemary Vitosh FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 1 -City of Iowa Cit MEMORANDUM Date: May 25, 1979 To: Neal Berlin and City Council From: Gene A. Dietz, City Engineer Re: Manpower Analysis/Engineering Division As part of the activity analysis in the Engineering Division FY79 budget, I made some estimates regarding how manpower was phases in the office. divided among various Based on hours worked which was converted into take home salary earned, the following percentages were produced: FUNCTION ESTIMATE ACTUAL A.

CITIZEN REQUESTS 8 4.2 H. VACATION, SICK LEAVE, HOLIDAYS, COFFEE BREAKS, AND TRAINING 8 26 One of the main objectives in performing this analysis was to determine the amount of funds spent on subdivision projects. The first graph summarizes the table above for the actual use as it occurred in the calendar year 1978. Although fairly close on capital improvement projects, I was indeed quite a ways off on subdivision projects. The 8.1 percent shown for subdivisions represents approximately $14,300 in labor costs incurred by the Engineering Division. The other figures are relatively self-explanatory and the only other surprise came on what I termed 411. The "H" category was a more descriptive term for overhead. Approximately 26 percent of the labor budget was utilized in this fashion. The average person in the Engineering Division receives as a benefit approximately 50 days of time away from work. This is broken down as follows: 15 days vacation, 11 holidays, 17 days coffee breaks, 5 days sick leave, and 2 days training. This average of 50 days represents 19 percent of the personnel budget for the Engineering Division. The balance MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140INES 133t� 2 or difference between the 19 percent and the 26 percent (7 percent) has several explanations. First of all, there can be a certain amount of error in the time keeping system. Also, we had a maternity leave in the division and a rather severe winter which limited the amount of time the survey crew could be in the field. The second graph was a brief rundown of how time was spent while working on capital improvement projects. This is perhaps more informative to my staff but I have shown it since we did develop the information. The total amount of money spent on labor in the division for capital improvements projects was approximately $78,000. I believe this compares very favorably to what might have been spent if these projects had been done by private consulting firms. Assuming that on an average project a consultant will receive approximately ten percent of the construction budget in fees, for the salary paid we would have been able to do approximately $780,000 to worth of projects. I will not attempt to list the projects that were completed during the calendar year 1978. However, the figure of $780,000 compares to one project the size of the Muscatine Avenue project from First Avenue to Scott Boulevard. The third graph provides a comparison of how funds were spent in subdivi- sions, i.e.,. inspection, review, etc. Again, I had anticipated that this function would have been significantly higher' in time spent. During the calendar year 1978, of the approximately $14,000 devoted to subdivisions, we did collect the figure of $6,906 in inspection fees. Instead of collecting only approximately 25 percent of the time spent suggested in my budget submission, we do in fact collect approximately one-half. I do not see any great change occurring in this area since subdivisions seem to be slowing down somewhat from the peak that occurred a few years ago. If you have questions about specific areas of this report, I will be happy to discuss it with you in more detail. bdw4/8-10 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES FONCT/ONS A - CAP/TOL /AWROVEM£NT PROJECTS L FUNCTION FUNCTIONAL RESOURCE ALLOCATIONS 1.978 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES i, 'T/VE T/ME PHASE CAP/TOL 1MPROVE4fENT PRO✓ECTS 1978 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES A b 5 �. n X b a 4 J Z I' I. 3 W ~ h 2 a 3 / 2 W W W 2 Q W b 1 ♦ V • u u W � FFNSE 5118DIVISIONS 1978 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES City of Iowa citta MVMj13=M0RARjbUM Date: June 18, 1979 To: Neal Berlin and City Council From: Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works Re: Salt Policy -- Council Referral The City Council had wished to discuss the salt policy for the upcoming winter. Two winters ago the Public Works Department was applying a mixture of almost 100% salt. Due to roadside vegetation damage and budgetary constraints the Department changed to a mixture of one-half salt, one- half sand this past winter. This mixture appears to balance the con- cerns of budgetary constraints, roadside damage, and service to the citizens. This upcoming winter we would plan to continue with the mixture one-half to three-quarters parts sand to salt. We would propose to continue the Policy of salting and sanding all arterial, collector and bus routes streets and in addition all residential streets deeper than 4%.

MEMORANDUM Date: June 20, 1979 To: City Council From: Dick Plastino Re: Petition From Residents in 1600 Block of Broadway to Change No Parking Anytime Signs to the Opposite Side of the Street Public Works has investigated this situation and we would recommend against changing the'signs for the following reasons: 1. The 1600 block of Broadway is a deadend. Regardless of which side vehicles park on, the driver must ultimately turn around in a driveway. I,n the petition it was stated it was counterproductive to turn around in a driveway. 2. All of the fire hydrants are on the west side of the street. This is the .side of the street on which parking has been prohibited. 3. During the winter snow plowing season there is more safety and efficiency in having parking always 'removed on the same side of the street. A snow plow driver operating during adverse conditions may not notice that parking was switched to the other side of the street in this one block and may plow into the rear end of parked cars. In summary, Public Works would recommend that parking continue to be prohibited on the west side of the 1600 block of Broadway. If Council agrees with this position we will contact the residents involved and explain the decision to them. cc: Jim Brachtel jm2/24 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES 1338 City Of Iowa CHI MEMORANDUM Date: June 21, 1979 To: Neal Berlin and City Council C� From: Eugene A. Dietz, City Engineer Gr Re: Chauncey Swan Parking Lot Addition Attached for your information are seven drawings that represent several alternatives for a parking facility to be constructed in the proposed vacated site of the U Smash 'Em building. In addition, the seventh drawing proposes to construct a parking facility between the alley and the existing small parking lot in the Plaza itself. The seven alternatives as proposed by Shive-Hattery & Associates are in conjunction with the demolition project. The total estimated cost ranges from approximately $36,000 to approximately $50,000. These figures would include the demolition costs as well as new construction for the finished facility. Alternate N4 in addition to being the least cost, also provides a facility that would more nearly duplicate the existing parking facilities in Chauncey Swan Plaza and the proposed lot across the alley. The cost is shown at $36,850 (excluding landscaping). The proposed 14 parking spaces across the alley from the U Smash 'Em site has been estimated at $28,600. This would attempt to provide a mirror image for the improvements as compared to the existing facility. One of the large costs involved with duplicating the existing facility is the lighting. That phase of the construction is estimated at $15,000. It may be well to point out that the estimated costs as provided by Shive-Hattery do not include lighting for any of their alternatives. If lighting is desirable in a similar fashion to the existing facilities, it may cost approximately $10,000 to $15,000 above the estimated con- struction costs for Alternates 1 through 7 as estimated by Shive-Hattery & Associates. If it is found to be desirable, the total package to demolish the U Smash 'Em building, revamp the site as a parking lot, and construct a new facility across the alley would cost approximately $65,450. If lighting the U Smash 'Em site would be desirable, this figure would then be approximately $75,000 to $80,000. These estimates are in a very preliminary form and it is entirely pos- sible that some savings measures could be accomplished in the area of lighting in particular.

This report has been prepared in accordance with our agreement with you. This is the third in a series of reports that will constitute the final Facility Plan for the City of Iowa City. The first report was entitled Part 1 - Infiltration/Inflow Analysis. That report included findings that there was excessive infiltration/inflow in the Iowa City sewer system and also included a recommendation that the City proceed with a Sewer System Evaluation Survey. The second report was Part 2 - Sewer System Evaluation Survey, Section 1 - River Corridor Sewer and Part 3 - Complete Waste Treatment System Plan, Section 1 - Water Pollution Control Plant. A final report, entitled Part 2 - Sewer System Evaluation Survey, Section 3 - Analysis Report and Part 3 - Complete Waste Treatment System Plan, Section 2 - Trunk and Interceptor Sewers will complete the Facility Plan. Subsequent work will include implementation of the Facility Plan including design and construction of the recommended improvements. This report includes additional findings of the Sewer System Evaluation Survey. The report deals primarily with the results of footing drain tile testing and the Civic Survey relative to the prevalence of footing drain tile within the City. In addition, the report includes a discussion of correlation television of certain sewers which was used to confirm that footing drain tile flow was reaching the sanitary sewers. The report also includes a discussion of night flow measurements in selected sewers, measured flows at certain metering manholes and groundwater level measurements. All of these tasks were undertaken to determine the magnitude of infiltration/inflow to the sewer system from footing drain tile. 13 SSD MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDs•DEs HOIREs Honorable Mayor and Council May 14, 1979 Page 2 The findings of the studies covered by itis report indicate that the largest single source of infiltration/inflow ent,!rs the sanitary sewer system through footing drain tile. Therefore, in general, the major cause of hydraulic overload in the sewer system and treatment facilities is the flow from footing drain tile. The studies covered by the report also indicate that peak flows to the treatment facilities are not a direct function of rainfall intensity. Weather conditions, groundwater levels, time of year and duration of rainfall also affect peak flows to the treatment facilities. A rainfall with a five-year recurrence interval (two inches of rainfall in one hour) was used in the Infiltration/Inflow Analysis as a basis for calculating the highest hydraulic loadings in all parts of the sanitary sewerage system. Subsequent studies indicate that this is not the sole criterion to be recognized for establishing the required hydraulic capacity of a sanitary sewerage system. Peak hydraulic loading on a system may occur with rainfall with a lower recurrence interval than five years. High loadings may be related to rainfall of lesser intensity but because of antecedent (prior) weather conditions, the lesser intensity rainfall more materially affects the hydraulic loading on the sewerage system. A rainfall event with a five-year recurrence interval occurring in March or April will generally have a more significant effect on sewage flows than a comparable rainfall during the drier summer months. This is because of the lack of evapotranspiration during the spring, there may be a large amount of snow on the ground, the frost is leaving or the ground may be saturated. The studies indicate that peak flows occur at the water pollution control plant during rainfall of relatively long duration resulting in the peak direct inflow and the peak footing drain tile discharge occurring simultaneously. The report outlines the results of the footing drain tile tests made in Iowa City, Ankeny and Urbandale. Results of the tests made on individual properties indicate similar patterns in all three cities. Based on the results of the studies, a figure of seven gallons per minute (gpm) per footing drain tile is recommended for the design of main and outfall sewers. The design of submains and lateral sewers should be based on about 13 gpm for each footing drain tile. The report also includes the results of the Civic Survey to determine the numbers of footing drain tile connected to the sanitary sewer system. While the results of the survey were not entirely based upon the information provided by residents, it is estimated that there are 7,356 footing drain tile in the study area. It is estimated that at least 5,455 are connected to the sanitary sewer system. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB UPAR RAPIDS•DF.s I10II1ES Honorable Mayor and Council May 14, 1979 Page 3 Several options were considered for the disposal of footing drain the flow it lieu of continued discharge to the sanitary sewerage system. The most desirable option for disposal is a specially constructed storm sewer system. The estimated project cost for providing facilites to discharge the 7,356 installations to the storm sewer system is estimated at $29,463,000. The present worth is estimated at $30,045,000. The present worth cost for providing for each footing drain the is, therefore, about $4,100. The cost to remove one gpm of footing drain tile flow from the sanitary sewer system is about $575. It is not cost-effective to remove the footing drain tile flow. It is more economical to transport the footing drain tile flow through the sewer system and treat it at the treatment facilities. Further studies will be based on sizing of sewers and treatment facilities to include footing drain tile flow. The removal of other sources of infiltration/inflow will be based on additional cost-effectiveness studies regarding each source. Complete recommendations as to sewer systems which should be rehabilitated and systems which should be supplemented or enlarged to handle future flows will be included in the Analysis Report for the Sewer System Evaluation Survey and the final Facility Plan.

Miller, Police Chief RE: North Side Street Lighting You asked for comment on the memo of May 21, 1979 written by the Director of Public Works in regard to street lighting policy. While I cannot make judgements as to the averagerhorizontal footcandles and the like needed to illuminate an area matter of fact, I don't even know what the term means), I do have some comments on lighting and the personal safety of residents and visitors to the north side of Iowa City with that area bounded on the south by Jefferson Street. My comments are based upon a truism 4hat has proven to have more fact than folklore, "Crime wants darkness." Crime in the north end of Iowa City has the character- istics and exhibits the classifications of the popula- tion group. In the Campus/Dormitory area assaultive crimes; intoxication; vandalism; (if and when reported), auto accidents; and a variety of crimes with a sexual connotation occur. As the northside progresses east through the older neighborhoods breaking and entering; window peeking; and to a lesser extent, vandalism predominate. Increased street lighting might decrease crime in this area. However, lighting experiment; aimed toward (:he reduction of crime in Norfolk, Virginia; Wilmington, Delaware; Virginia Beach and Fairfax County, Virginia indicate that an initial but short duration reduction in crime occurs. An alteration in the types of crime comm- itted has been the most significant result of these experiments. Assaultive crimes and those of a sexual connotation have not been reduced significantly. A marked, but temporary reduction in breaking and entering has been noted. In many of these lighting experiments the costs of increased lighting exceeded the costs of the property crimes. Again, the significant results from the experiments, as I see them, was the fact that the nature of the crimes in the affected areas was alter- ed and that the reduction in numbers of crimes was tem- porary. The majority of the above experiments were conducted in relative secluded business areas. F� MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOVIES 13 1f/ A couple of cities in Illinois have experimented with increased neighborhood lighting of a different nature. Combined with neighborhood watch, target hardening, and crime awareness efforts, a number of porchlights on each block have been placed upon a single circuit separate from the household electric meter, controlled by a time clock and come on at certain hours of dark thus offering block lighting as well as designating a place of refuge for a Person fearing a criminal attack. In addition, alley lighting in those areas where multi -dwelling unit parking is pro- vided has been increased by public and private cooperation. Adequate parking lighting is a code requirement while secluded, dark areas remain the governmental responsibility. The idea here is to provide a personal feeling of security. Whether or not personal safety is increased by lighting alone or through a combination of the above factors is important arguable. I suggest that the combination of factors is more than any essential, butonlysonelfactor. factorthatAshouldebelconsidered is any overall crime prevention plan. The Police Department is eager to assist in any way we can to improve public safety in the north end. We do not have the resources to institute a meaningful, continuing crime prevention program in the region. We cannot add duties to the units without additional resources.

Miller, Police Chief RE: Serving Minors at the Copper Connection /jam 1v Some time ago I recommended that Council schedule a hearing for the suspension or revocation of the beverage permits of the Copper Dollar for service to minors. We have been unable to locate the bartender alleged to have served the minors. While techincally the owner of the establishment can be charged with the violation, it is my opinion, as a result of the investigation that the bartender in question acted in direct opposition to the expressed orders of the manager of the Copper Dollar and other employees. Finally, ownership of the establishment recently changed and I have no desire to unfairly penalize the new owners. Consequently, I respectfully suggest that my request for a hearing on suspension or revocation of these permits be withdrawn. I shall certainly keep you and Council advised of any violations that might arise in this establishment in the future. Indeed, I will make recommendations as to courses of action to be taken should violation arise.

In prior discussions on this, the Council has indicated favoring elimination of the $2 monthly refuse fee for low-income residents. If Council approves of the administration and eligibility criteria, we will then need a final decision on how much the fee will be reduced. After talking with the various representatives of the agencies who will be assisting us on verification of eligibility, I feel thati we have a compre- hensive program.planned which will provide financial relief to those who really need it. From .figures obtained from the various agencies, it appears that a maximum of 1,600 individuals could be eligible for the reduced fee. However, this number will be reduced by those individuals who qualify for more than one agency's program and by those who live with others who would not be eligible for the reduced fee. Following Council approval, we will be publicizing the program with press releases and ads placed in both the Press -Citizen and The Shopper.

DATE: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance Nancy Heaton, City Treasurer 'AtL June 22, 1979 RE: Reduced/Free Refuse Charge for Low -Income Persons When the program first was discussed we used the terms low-income, elderly and handicapped. During the planning process, including discussion with persons from the Social Security administration and the Social Services office, I feel that low-income or income guidelines should be the criteria. This would include the elderly and handicapped with financial limits while guidelines by age or handicap would or could possibly include persons with income well above the average. Further, only persons who have the utilities in their names and do not live with persons not eligible for the program should be considered. The areas in which I recommend that specific guidelines be adopted are administration, and eligibility as follows: A. Administration of the program I. The program be extended to all low-income persons who are eligible according to the eligibility criteria of the programs listed below. 2. That sufficient notice be published so that this can be a strictly voluntary program and the responsibility for signup for the service be that of the person to receive the service. That the service will have to be renewed annually due to the many circumstances, such as change of status, that can effect the eligibility. 3. Each person desiring the service must sign a release of information form. Then on a monthly (or reasonable) basis a listing with attached releases will be sent to the appropriate department for verification of status. This will then be transmitted back to the City and the person shall be set up for the service if eligible. Anyone not eligible would be informed by letter from the City Treasurers office. B. Eligibility and the programs whose guidelines would be used for establishment of eligibility 1.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES N `)City of Iowa C10� MEMORANDUM DATES June 21, 1979 TO: City Council p J FROM: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance F' RE: General Fund Balance Projection In reviewing the fund balance for the General Fund and projecting ahead to year end, it appears that we can expect a fund balance of approximately $1,050,000. The attached schedule on projected fund balance was taken from the FY80 Budget Document. The last column was added to show changes in projections. The deficit resulting from the State Transit Grant will not occur as Hugh Mose and I have received approval from DOT for amendments to the grant which reduce the local subsidy amount. This allows us to use local funds for the $50,000 transfer to the Transit Replacement Reserve and for the installation of the ventilation system. (These were both considered ineligible expenditures by the DOT for funding from the State Grant.) We were not able to get approval in this way to cover the funding for the purchase of the two buses. Instead, we will pay for the buses out of the Transit Replacement Reserve. The transfer -in from Special Assessments is lower because actual receipts for FY79 came in lower than originally projected. The additional receipts over budget consist of many items with the largest ones being: Liquor Profits $. 26,874 Bank Franchise Tax 23,133 Interest Income 25,000 Fines, Magistrates Court 25,000 L100,007 The transfer needed to fund the Equipment Division deficit is as follows: FY78 Deficit $(426,412) Already Transferred From: General Fund 76,905 Enterprise Funds 67,490 To Be Transferred From: General Fund 282,017 $ -0- The transfer from the Enterprise funds was based upon those funds' pro- portionate share of prior years' charges and amounts to about 16% of the total deficit. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1I0INES 13*�/ The FY78 deficit in Refuse Collection was increased by a deficit expected in FY79 also. The charges for maintenance of the garbage trucks exceeded what was originally budgeted and this will cause a budget overrun for FY79. Actual expenditures are expected to fall short of the budgeted amount by $60,000. This takes into account possible encumbrances and carryovers at year-end which will require amendment of the FY80 budget as the cash expen- diture will not be disbursed until FY80. The bonds posted with the County Clerk of Court cover judgements against the City which have been subsequently appealed (back rent on parking lot, Stevens case). These bonds are actually Certificates ofDeposits being held by the Clerk of Court. These show up on our accounting records as investments in the General Fund but are restricted in that the funds are not available for general operations. The advantage to using certificates of deposit's rather than purchasing performance bonds is that the City will receive interest income on these funds until the appeal is settled. Therefore, $716,509 is the projected available fund balance as of June 30, 1979. In comparison with our prior projection of $436,371, it appears we have approximately $280,000 of unallocated monies. I must point out that actual year-end figures could vary somewhat as these are only estimates at this time. We have projected a $240,000 budget overrun for the Streets Division. Originally we anticipated having available Road Use Tax monies due to several RUT funded projects costing less than budgeted. However, we now have received all RUT monies for FY79 and we are under budget by $53,000 (4%). When the State increased fuel tax, we amended our receipts budget based upon the per capita estimates received from the DOT. The available Road Use Tax monies has thus dropped to $21,500. This can be used to offset a portion of the Street's budget overrun. I would recommend using $100,000 of the General Fund balance and looking to the FY80 Street's budget to fund the remainder of the deficit. Public Works has indicated that a reduction will be made in the capital outlay purchases for Streets and that the asphalt resurfacing and chipseal pro- gram can be reduced. The combination of these two actions could free up enough funds to cover most of the remaining deficit. I hesitate to recommend using more of the General Fund balance because of funding needs for the Senior Center remodeling and possible future expenditures for Recreation Center parking. Finance will be working closely with Public Works in monitoring the Street's budget in FY80 so that another deficit does not occur.

INTRODUCTION In the FY80-84 CIP, the City Council determined what projects can be realistically accomplished in the next several years on the basis of anticipated revenues, City priorities and the Council's willingness to issue essential corporate purpose bonds or seek voter approval of general corporate purpose bond issues. w.� The City Council first determined which projects it would like to see funded in FY80. Secondly, all projects not funded in FY80 were automatically shifted to the next fiscal year unless the Council designated a specific year for the project or desired to eliminate i the project from the five year plan. The final CIP document therefore reflects a five year plan for providing capital improvements commensurate with the fiscal policy 'I I and the needs of Iowa City. I In fiscal year 1980, authorizations of $3,800,058 in essential corporate purpose bonds are proposed. II. CIP SCHEDULING CONSIDERATIONS JCapital improvement programming is the planning, coordination, and scheduling of public fiscal improvements for a community over a period of years. The scheduling is developed according to priorities 'i based on need, desire and importance of such improvements to the community within the constraints of the City's ability to finance as well as having the staffing to design and administer the projects. Essentially, the CIP is a legislative and management tool to facili- tate the scheduling, planning and execution of a series of public improvements over a five year period. Usually the development of a CIP begins with the proceeds from a current or recently updated comprehensive plan. On May 30, 1978 the City Council adopted the — Comprehensive Plan for Iowa City. This plan presents an analysis of needs and desires of the community over an intermediate to long- range time span, and translates these needs and desires into prescribed action programs and services that can be performed by City government. The fiscal year 1980-84 capital improvement projects are in keeping I with the direction and programs of this Comprehensive Plan. i — III. FISCAL POLICY CONSIDERATIONS A concept of sound financial planning is of equal importance to — fiscal planning, and is critical for the success of any program whether it be public or private. As a result, the Capital Improvement Program is a determination of 1) the levels of capital projects, and 2) the sources of financing those projects. In determining the scheduling of programs for completion within the next five years, MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES ,._ MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101IIES ii i I j scheduling of programs for completion within the next fiveyears, it was necessary to deal with the City's financial resource limita- tions; both those that have been _ established by State law, and those that have been adopted as policy by the City Council as a guide to future City expenditure and indebtedness. It is the I latter limitation to which the City Council addressed itself in 1973 by the formal adoption of a fiscal policy that is aimed at controlling and regulating the property tax levy for debt service on general obligation bonds used to finance capital expenditures. The 1979 revised fiscal i policy provides a more comprehensive method of financing the many capital projects which the City needs. 1 Adherence to this fiscal policy can be expected to provide the following advantages: I. Investors interested in City of Iowa City bonds can refer to a fiscal policy and rely on it in making decisions on whether to buy obligations of the City in C and determining the interest rate that they will bid. A formally approved fiscal policy ! has a strong bearing on the City's ability to maintain and j improve on its credit rating. 2. The property tax levy for debt service on which there is no State imposed maximum limit J can be projected and regulated to either remain relatively constant or to increase at an even controlled rate. I ] 3. Planning for public improvements normally takes place over a period of years. Nearly always, funds are spent for engineering and right-of-way prior to the �1 years in which actual construction takes place. The fiscal policy can establish amounts of J money which will be spent for several years in the future for best improvement public facilities planning and make it possible to r time and funds on those priority projects which iconcentrate J . can be financed and constructed within the City's financial limitations. 4. A very significant advantage of a formal fiscal policy is to I demonstrate the need for additional revenue sources in future years by matching expenditures and indebtedness permitted by such a fiscal policy against a much greater need for additional public improvements. IV. APPLICATION OF FUNDS The funding of the projects included in the FY80-84 CIP can be categorized into the four �i major categories of: — i I. operating revenue 2 ,._ MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101IIES n 2. bond issues (general obligation, revenue and special assessment) 3. State and Federal grants for assistance 4. special revenue (revenue whose use is restricted to specific types of projects). The City strives to secure and utilize funds other than operating revenue and general obligation bonds to the maximum extent practical, and utilize general obligation debts within the parameters of the fiscal policy. As the "Summary By Source Of Funds" chart on page 39 illustrates, operating revenue and general obligation debts account for 41.8 percent of the funding for the five year FY80-84 CIP. Of the remaining sources, State and Federal grants account for 55.4 percent of the five year total, revenue bonds account for 2.7 percent, and miscellaneous revenue accounts for the remaining .1 percent of the projected five year total of $50,370,464. 3 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DE: MOINES i s I Ili I I J I IJ I I i I � J I - J IJ I -1 , I �1 I I J I I n 2. bond issues (general obligation, revenue and special assessment) 3.

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 J revenue in the general operating fund does not require a tax levy in excess of the limit established by State law. i _J 'A 1 J i J J w CAPITAL EXPENDITURES I. 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 4 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOVIES demonstrate ability to develop sufficient income to repay their costs and costs associated 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. 3. MAXIMUM LIMITATIONS ON GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS: The 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. Borrowina 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. 3 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES I I! J L 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. The first fiscal policy was adopted by motion of the City Council at its regular meeting on June 5, 1973. This revised policy was adopted by Council motion on June 19, 1979.

MASS TRANSPORTATION BUS STOPS, SIGNS AND SHELTERS This project would provide for bus shelters of various sizes at approximately 20 locations throughout the City, and bus stop signs at every stop. The signs will cost about $7 each for material and $18 each in installation costs, for a total of $13,400. The small prefabricated bus stop shelters cost $2750 each installed. Federal and state assistance is available, reducing the local share to 30% of the total cost. TRANSIT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE FACILITY A new transit garage is needed for the following reasons: 1. The existing garage is too small for our current fleet. 2. The mechanics must work in the bus storage area, which is very inefficient, especially in winter. 3. Office space is entirely inadequate - four persons work in an area 7' x 181. 4. The existing building has almost no room for parts storage or automatic bus cleaning equipment. 5. The building cannot be expanded because of its design and its placement on a very small lot.

Establish an effective and controlled parts inventory. Work Completed: 1. Night shift program is quite well established. Parks and Cemetery can be brought into the PM system on June 1. We will start doing half of the police cars on a test basis as soon as we move into the new buiding. 2. Still not accomplished (see Analysis). 3. Excellent progress made. A sound responsive system is now in use for operators in Streets/Refuse to report defects and to have them repaired in a timely fashion, usually on the night shift to prevent downtime. 4. This is a hugh success owing to the efforts of the shop supervisor, parts/rebuild tech and transit lead mechnic. By shortening the "span of control" we are able to supervise every task with a person who is committed to the goals of the organization. 5. The last step still remains in that the parts inventory must still be physically inventoried and catalogued. There is virtually no way to do this until we expand parts storage into the new building in mid- season. Analysis: Major factors bearing on the financing problems we continue to have are: 1. Inventory additions - in the past year we have added a large number of parts to our inventory in order to keep Transit, Refuse and Streets functions on the road. Without these parts we would not have made it through the winter without major service interruptions. 2. Equipment costs running well over projections because of poor specifications and rough use. As an example during the month of January dump trucks, snow plows and sanders cost us $19,324 to operate with corresponding income from charges of $5594. The Finance Director plans a review of the operating fund after the March cost figures come in, but we will probably not know what adjustments are necessary until after the low cost/high usage months of April, May and June.

Remove subdivision review from a crisis basis to a systematic schedule with a response time for initial review of: preliminary plats (5 working days); construction plans (10 working days) and final plats (5 working days). 2. Design and reconstruct intersection of South Gilbert Street and Highway 6 Bypass including Gilbert Street to Sand Road by November, 1978. 3. Perform field work, coordinate R.O.W. Acquisition, and prepare plans and specifications for Scott Boulevard between Highway 6 and Muscatine Avenue in a completed form and ready for bidding by March, 1979. 4. Complete routine maintenance contracts prior to September, 1978, for the following projects: landfill excavation, asphalt resurfacing project and concrete repair. S. Schedule construction activities such that a minimum of one full-time inspector devotes 85% of time inspecting subdivision cohstruction for quality control. 6. Complete second phase of microfilming process for Engineering Records by July, 1979. 7. Develop a time keeping system to determine how division budget is spent among construction projects, subdivisions, citizen requests, etc. Work Completed: 1. No change. 2. Plans completed and approved by IDOT-R.O.W. Acquisition underway by PPD. 3. Field work approximately 10-15% complete. 4. Asphalt resurfacing project completed - October 1, 1978. Landfill excavation will be skipped this year since adequate space is still available. Concrete repairs are being done by Street Division. 5. Based on August salary, approximately 70% in 1978. 6. Approximately 70% complete. 7. 12 months of records available, see attached report. Analysis: 1. This goal was much too ambitious for an individual division. It is believed it would take Council set guidelines to developers on submission dates to avert the crisis situation being experienced. 2. Due to IDOT decisions, this project has had significant delays - primarily due to R.O.W. acquisition. A fall, 1979 construction start seems attainable at this time. 3. This project is behind schedule approximately six months. Additional work items, plus delays in the Gilbert Street project have been the MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES Ido RTES rd N primary cause for this. Also, as an internal priority, the division will begin work on the Riverside -Benton intersection prior to Scott Boulevard. 4. Landfill project was rescheduled due to other priorities and the fact that landfill space is available. 5. We were not able to achieve the goal, no improvement is forseen in 1979 since there wil be a definite slow down in subdivision work this year. 6. Delays in obtaining contract experienced in Finance has precluded even the first phase of filming. However, this has not caused any particular problem in the division and both phases of filming should be completed by the end of the fiscal year. i 7. See attached report.

To build off-peak ridership through increased transit marketing. Emphasis will be placed on radio and newspaper advertising, group presentations and special promotions to be conducted by June, 1979. 2. To .maintain schedule adherence through better road supervision by September, 1978. 3. To reduce the frequency of accidents and the dollar amount of damage claims and to reduce citizen complaints through more comprehensive driver training by June, 1979. 4. To pursue Federal grants for two-way radios, replacement buses, bus stop signs and shelters, and a transit garage feasibility study by September, 1978. 5. To renovate existing bus barn by increasing parts storage, installing ventilators, and cleaning and painting by June, 1979. Work Completed: 1. In the third quarter transit ridership rose 11.1% over the same period last year. Because ridership was already exceeding our expectations . and our ability to handle the crowds, we did very little marketing. We did, however, conduct a campaign to encourage people to ride off- peak, with some success. 2. Schedule adherence was terrible throughout the quarter. Slippery streets, narrowed roadways, and severe overcrowding combined to make on -schedule operation impossible. Our efforts at road supervision focused largely on keeping the buses running thirty (30) minutes apart, rather than on time. 3. The number of accidents was up substantially over past winters,; in January and February transit buses were involved in twenty-two (22) reported accidents. Virtually all of these collisions were fender - benders, and in none was the bus put out of service. In the month of . March, when conditions had improved, we experienced only two (2) accidents, both unavoidable. Citizen complaints regarding driver deportment were rare, although we received record numbers of schedule complaints. 4. Working with Keith Friese of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission, we completed and submitted our UMTA Section 3 capital grant application. Because this grant was for buses only, we then included in our State Transit Assistance Application a request to use Section 18 UMTA money for radios, signs and shelters. Dick Plastino has been working directly with the State and Federal Governments in laying the groundwork for the bus barn replacement project. 5. The bus barn ventilation project was completed in January. Parts storage capability has not been increased, due to a decision by the Equipment Division to move a large part of the body parts inventory out of the bus barn. During the third quarter no time was available to clean up and paint; all effort was directed toward providing transit service.

Work Completed: During the third quarter of FY79 tickets issued decreased from 27,987 in FY78 to 16,627 in FY79. The municipal lot operated during the third quarter with an increase in usage from 75,357 in FY78 to 79,363 in FY79. - Many meters were inoperable or inaccessible during January and February due to the severe weather. Analysis: The months of January and February severely hampered the workings of the parking system. The number of violations cited by Parking Enforcement attendants during January was down to 3,086 due to 18 working days being totally or partially missed due to severe weather and its effect on the meter system. Parking revenue was down during the quarter from $86,742.39 FY78 to $78,285.74 during FY79. January's totals reflect this loss.

Work Completed: In the third quarter of FY79 we received 859 reports of defective meters as compared to 675 in the third quarter of FY78. 511 of the reported meters were found to be defective compared to 420 during the same period in FY78. 78 vehicles were impounded in connection with the Traffic Bureau as compared to 138 during FY78. It should be noted that we could not tow for approximately five weeks during this quarter due to no tow trucks being available. During February the Recreation Center lot and the Washington lot were closed. Meters and posts were removed in the Washington lot and meters only in the Rec lot. The remaining meters on the east side of the 100 block of S. Capitol Street and on the south side of the 10 block of E. Washington Street `were removed. All meters in the central business district were converted from 10 and 15 cents per hour to 20 cents per hour. Analysis: Maintenance to the meter system during this quarter was limited to trouble calls. and the cleaning of 90 Duncan manual meter timers in the CBD. The timer cleaning was done in connection with the rate change. We anticipate trouble calls on the meters in the CBD because of alterations made to them during the changeover. These calls should decrease in the next three to six months. The effect of the•rate change can be seen in the total of the quads for the month of March. During 1978 the average monthly total before quads was $10,496. During the month of March the quads totaled $16,505. The rate restructure cannot be seen in the lot totals for March as they were not completed until March 30.

Work Completed: There continues to be a high turnover rate. Analysis: When this budget was written, there was to be one custodian, a Main- tnenance Worker III, the balance of custodial work was to be clone by contract. This approach was changed - the Senior Maintenance Worker from the Recreation Center is in charge of maintenance, and we have two Maintenance Worker I's. There appears to be a number of possible reasons for continued high turnover, including low salary, transfer for medical reasons and the policy regarding hiring of relations. The budget is slightly overspent because of a number of reasons, including: 1. Sick leave used, 2. All of capital outlay already encumbered, and 3. High maintenance costs for air conditioning units and for roof repair. I expect to be able to balance the budget by the end of the year.

Staff resources and each decision unit's workload priorities were analyzed. Existing staff was assigned primarily to crisis projects, i.e. Small Cities Pre -application, 5th Year CDBG Application, Annual CDBG Performance Report, City Plaza and Streetscape Phase II, Parking Ramp. Other budget objectives were scheduled to be met during the fourth quarter after staffing levels increased to levels established in the FY79 budget. 2. In order to improve the supervisory and administrative performance, division heads began managing employee workload 'monthly, using a project chart listing proposed tasks to be accomplished each month. Follow-up activities record which tasks were actually accomplished. 3. The Small Cities Pre -application for $530,000 (during FY80) was submitted to HUD 1-24-79; thereafter on 4-6-79 the City was invited to submit a full application. The 5th Year CDBG Application for $935,500 (for FY80) was submitted to A-95 review agencies 2-17-79 and to HUD 4- 6-79. A request for bikeways funding was submitted to Iowa D.O.T. Additional sources for senior center funding were investigated. The staff assisted JCRPC efforts to get Iowa City reclassified to SMSA status. 4. Federal requirements are being met in some areas; however, recordkeeping and project monitoring is lagging because of current understaffing. 5.

This review and processing has been done in a timely manner even though there have been numerous submissions filed and thorough analyses prepared. Approximately 60 percent of Don Schmeiser's time has been devoted to the drafting of a new zoning ordinance. This activity was not an objective of this decision unit at the time of budget preparation. The objective was to prepare appropriate amendments to the implementation ordinances rather than to actually develop the ordinance. Less of his time was devoted to preparation of the zoning ordinance than the previous quarter essentially because of (a) more applications being processed and (b) further revision in the revised Tree Regulations. Although most of the staff's time has been consumed by the above activities, technical assistance to the City Council, City Manager, boards and commissions, and other departments has been provided upon request. An over abundance of technical assistance would, however, impinge upon the above activities.

One CCN person has been assigned the responsibility of providing a liaison between individual projects and the Committee on Community Needs. 2. Program Administration: Staff time limitations have prevented monthly performance statistics from being gathered for each of the CDBG programs as stated in the objective. Likewise, quarterly file updates for each program compliance activity have not been completed. The fourth objective listed in the FY79 budget document states that FY80 projects' goals and objectives will be reviewed and approved by the City Council. This was accomplished on February 5, 1979. Objective number 5 in the FY79 budget states that $4.5 million will be encumbered by June 30, 1979. Staff limitations have not allowed routine monitoring of budgets nor expenditure levels. The fifth year CDBG application was submitted to A-95 review agencies. Comments were received. The application has been subsequently submitted to HUD.

Progress on this activity is not scheduled at this time. Two additional Environmental Review Records (ERR) were prepared during the third quarter. No evaluation reports comparing project costs to benefits were completed. A Small Cities pre -application was submitted to HUD on January 25, 1979. The. target neighborhood to be revitalized is bounded by Kirkwood, Gilbert, Harrison, Linn, and Dubuque Streets.

The Riverfront Commission has been reviewing project ideas in order to encumber $75,000. The Rocky Shore Drive trail and riprahverthe itboat ramp are currently being considered by the Commission;. owe is not certain that HUD can approve these projects to be implemented complying with current regulations. Analysis: In view of the resources available, the staff has performed in a very productive manner. Most tasks have been completed in a timely manner in MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES I401REs spite of understaffing. The primary disadvantage of long-term short staffing is that routine activities which were temporarily delayed tend to be permanently put off, thereby creating a situation which utilizes extensive time, effort and money in resolving audit findings and leading program files. Monthly monitoring of compliance activities is not taking place, and analysis of program cast effectiveness has not yet been initiated. The short-term impact of this type of program administration will not be easily recognized, however, the long-term impacts could be significant.

You expressed concern about the proposed construction of low cost housing on this property. The City will take no action to build on this lot until a reply is received from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment concerning other sites. Thank you for expressing your views to the Council. Your letter will certainly be taken into consideration when a final decision is made. Sincerely yours, Neal G. Berlin City Manager Is / cc: City Clerk ✓ MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES M0114ES Juno 25,1979 To Mayor Vevera and City Council Members: Early this year we purchased the property at 831 3rd Ave. which is adjacent to F street. One of the reasons we purchased this property was that wo knew that F street :,:as vacated. Neighbors told us they had been informed by the city attornoys'office that nothing could be built on this property duo to a high pressure gas line under the street. We and previous owners of our property have maintained the north half of this vacated street for many years. We have now been informed thnt the city intends to build one and possibly two houses for use by low income families. 11 At the time the Low Rent Housing Authority was established by a vote of the people, the voters were promised that the City of Iowa City would never o►tn any low income housing property. We strongly object to the city being the landlord of any group of people regardless of income. We are extremely concerned that if this project goes ahead there will be irreparable damage done to our property due to increased run off of storm water. Will this development be covered under the Storm Water Management Ordinance? Vie would be intrested in purchasing the north half of F street vacated abutting our property. Vlo would appreciate ,your prompt attention to this matter. 831 3rd Ave. Iowa City, Ia. 351-5359 Sincerelyyours Michael A. Rittenmoye, Helen L.

TITLE: Arterial 518 - Irma City Bypass - Location 5IJILUS i!eport DISCUSSION I BACKGROUND: The Arterial Highway 518 improvement project in Johnson Comity was discussed at the Transportation Connn(ssion hleeting on October 3, 1978, when a delegation from the City Council of Iowa Cil:y proposed that the route be relocated to a more westerly alignment around Iowa City and that the Melrose Avenue Interchange be eliminated. These changes would be in accordance with the new City Comprehensive plan. The Staff was asked to review these concerns and consider an alternate alignment. Such an alternative was reviewed at the October 17, 1978, Couunission i•leeting, but no further decision was made. At the November 2, 1978, Commission fleeting a representative of the Iowa City Council indicated that :hey would be willing to consider such a proposal. The question of the I•lelrose Interchange was also discussed. The Commission passed the following resolution: "Staff complete 518 as far west of the original staff proposal as is feasible within the watershed area and the two north and south control points, including the construction of the Melrose interchange." The north and south control points were identified as the 1-80/380 interchange, on the north and near the location of the approved Iowa 1 interchange, on the south. Per this directive, Staff initiated a further Study to determine the justification for such an alternative. Upon completion the study was reviewed by Staff. At the February 26, 1979, Project Review hleeting, Staff, including representatives of the FNMA Division Office, concluded it was not feasible to revise the location and reconmended that the Department proceed with the alignment as presently approves( by the Transportation Commission, the FIIWA and the U.S. District Court. This recommendation was relayed to local city, county, and regional planning officials at a meeting held in Iowa City on March 22, 1979. PROPOSAL I ACTION RECOMMENDATION: The Comnission reaffirm its decision to pursue development of the prP.sently approved alignmeiiL of Arterial 518 west of Iowa City.
