That the crushed rock portion of the Mercer Park parking lot be paved with asphalt. 2. That a 16 car, crushed rock parking lot be constructed at Wetherby Park. The lot should be paved with asphalt in the future with the crushed rock serving as the base. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION: The regular meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission was called to order by Chairperson Boutelle. The minutes of the May 9 meeting were approved. i s RENO STREET PARK NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING: i Showalter reported that 30 residents attended the June 11 Reno Park Neighborhood meeting held at the shelter in the park. The purpose of the meeting was to see if residents felt that the Park should be expanded to the north and if it was expanded, what the additional area should be used for. Eleven residents felt that the City should purchase the 160' x 160' area offered if it could be purchased at a reasonable price. Ten residents felt that only half (80' x 160') of the area should be purchased if it could be purchased at a reasonalbe price. Suggestions for possible future use included a picnic area and an area for additional playground apparatus. After considerable discussion, there seemed to be a feeling that Reno Park was ade- quately serving the residents at present, and that expansion was not needed at present. ' Thayer moved and Berry seconded a motion to table the issue of expansion of Reno Park. It carried unanimously. Showalter was asked to check on the zoning of the surrounding area. f J PARKING LOTS IN CITY PARKS: The need for a parking lot in Wetherby Park was discussed. This led to a discussion { of rock roads and parking lots in other parks in the City. Staff felt that the worst parking situation was at Mercer Park, where most of the lot is crushed rock. This j lot is heavily used, and the dust from the lot is a real problem. It was moved by Thayer and seconded by Berry that the crushed rock portion of the Mercer Park parking lot be paved with asphalt. This motion was approved seven to one. It was then moved by Hayek and seconded by Crum, that a 16 car, crushed rock parking lot be constructed at Wetherby Park. The lot should be paved in the future, with the crushed rock serving as the base. i FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES NOIRES Yy MINUTES IOWA CITY PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION RECREATION CENTER, ROOM B .LUNE 13, 1979 MEMBERS PRESENT: Boutelle, Humbert, Ward, Crum, Hillman, Hayek, Thayer, Berry MEMBERS ABSENT: McLaughlin STAFF PRESENT: Howell, Lee Showalter GUESTS: Mary Aboud, KXIC RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL: 1.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL None RECOMMENDATION TO CITY MANAGER AND STAFF: None SUMMARY OF RELEVANT DISCUSSION: 1. The May 1979 minutes were approved as written. Dick McCartt moved and Carla Marcus seconded to approve the minutes. All Commissioners present voted aye to accept the minutes as they stood. 2. There were quite a few guests so a guest sign -in sheet was circulated. The guests addressed the Commission members regarding a June 23 incident at Woodfield's. The guests said that racial discrimination had occurred at Woodfield's on the 23rd. One member of the audience indicated that a racially discriminatory practice had occurred by the proprietor that violated Title VII. This individual did not feel that it was right that at a public place certain individuals be ostracized, alienated and discriminated against. He also expressed that this activity has been going on for quite some time. Members of the audience questioned whether the proprietor's license could be revoked. The participants were advised that the City Council has the authority on that issue. Several alternatives for /19 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MINES Iowa City Hum Rights Commission June 25, 1979 Page 2 remedying the situation were suggested. These included a predetermination settlement, injunctive relief for cease and desist. A peaceful demonstration was also suggested and audience participants were advised to determine whether a City permit was necessary. However, the legal staff advised that at a demonstration no one's entrance to the establishment could be stopped. Questioned also was why individuals may not come forward with complaints. It was suggested that some individuals may feel hesitant due to the possibility of retaliation. It was pointed out that retaliation is unlawful. The staff and Commissioners expressed that they will deal swiftly and make all efforts to do so. Participants were also advised that the Human Rights Commission could not take action which would be prejudicial and it was necessary to keep an unbiased approach to the problem and follow procedures. The Commission and audience were advised that the regional NAACP office was informed of the situation and it would be entering with some sort of action and monitoring the Commission's procedure. The NAACP would be exploring legal redress. A member of the audience questioned what alternatives to peaceful action could be taken. This individual was concerned in finding a creative way to harness the effort that has been generated. Participants were advised they could appear at the City Council ! meeting individually and as a group on Tuesday, June 26 at 7:30 p.m. Individuals could also contact Commission members on an individual I basis or the Human Relations Department. An economic boycott was j also raised as an alternative for peaceful action. A member of the audience indicated that other bars, including the Fieldhouse and Copper Connection, have practiced racial discrimination. However this was of a subtle form. Consequently, blacks had no other place to go. An individual acknowledged that one formal complaint had been filed. A question of the liability for discrimination was raised if the Proprietor sold the business. It was questioned whether the sale and the transfer would be a facade. r Members of the audience questioned how long it would take for the complaint to be investigated. It was indicated that about four weeks would be necessary for the investigation. Members of the audience also indicated that one local TV station had film attesting that a minor was present in the bar. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Iowa City Humlights Commission June 25, 1979 Page 3 A question was raised regarding why the police officers who responded to the Saturday evening call did not card at Woodfield's. A press release regarding the Commission's posture was to be issued. 3. Commissioners were advised that no reply had been received from the local Civil Service Commission in regards to a suggestion for the two Commissions to meet and exchange members at meetings. Commissioners were notified that they would receive notice of Civil Service Commission meetings. 4. Materials for the orientation program were distributed and Commissioners were asked to read the material. The materials focused in on the investigation of complaints. The materials dealt with issues and items to consider in preparing for an investigation and carrying it through. 5. Commissioners are also asked to assist the Human Relations Department in recruiting applicants for fire fighting positions. 6. Linda McGuire indicated that WRAC received the notice too late to include it in their newsletter. 7. Commissioners were asked if they would be interested in attending a training session sponsored by the Iowa Civil Rights Commission. Commissioners were apprised that proposed topics were investigation and conciliation of complaints. Commissioners also wanted to include a session on effective relationships with the state. Four Commissioners indicated a preference for a Saturday -Sunday training session; one Commissioner indicated a preference for Friday - Saturday; one Commissioner expressed no preference; one Commissioner indicated that the date depended on her work schedule. All but one Commissioner indicated that an August training session would be acceptable. One individual preferred a September training session. Committee Reports 1. Affirmative action. The Chair indicated he has not had any report from Sherry Alvarez who is working on this project. Braverman was to call Ms. Alvarez. 2. Compliance monitoring guide. Steve Munzenmaier, Chair of this committee, did not submit a proposed monitoring guide. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOVIES 0 Iowa City Hum;�ights Commission June 25, 1979 Page 4 3. Blue Ribbon Subcommittee - City as a model employer. Dick Yates, Chair of the subcommittee, indicated that Pat Brown is initiating policies and procedures in some of the areas the Commission had expressed concern. Yates indicated that the committee's actions in these areas would duplicate efforts. Changes in City structure and the effectiveness of those would be affected by whether the Human Rights Commission gave support in effectuating the changes initiated by the Human Relations Department. Changes in attitude could be affected by the Human Relations Department training. It was indicated there was a need for sensitivity training. Pat Brown indicated she has some training in mind and that the Human Rights Commission could assist in this training. However, it was indicated that in order to be certified as a trainer the individual must first participate in a three day session. Once all Commissioners could be certified as trainers then Human Rights Commissioners could rotate in their participation of the training session. Commissioners indicated they would participate in the three day training sessions. There were funds available for this and a September training date was being considered. Ms. Reyes indicated that September 16 was not convenient. It appeared that the weekend after Labor Day, on September 7, 8 and 9, was preferable. Staff was to submit a questionnaire asking the Commissioners their preference for alternative dates. The City has received a decision From PERB regarding an unfair labor practice. This involved the distribution of a questionnaire that dealt with mandatory issued for bargaining. The decision went against the City. Commissioners were apprised that they could submit questionnaires to City employees with union consultation and approval. 4. Priority projects. Linda McGuire, Chair of the Committee, indicated that one of the priority projects established, that is, processing of City employee complaints, was being addressed by the Blue Ribbon Subcommittee. Another priority project of targeting areas was discussed. A need to sensitize and educate the community was identified. There is a need to generate creative alternatives for groups in how to deal with discrimination problems. This would involve personal contact, activities and workshops, and public input. Linda also indicated that the Committee made recommendations and was not charged with implementing the priority projects. A subcommittee was established to target areas and identify organizations and groups in order to educate and sensitize the community regarding discrimination. McGuire moved and Marcus seconded that this committee be charged to target areas where discrimination may occur and identify groups and organizations to be contacted in order to educate the community. The Commission members MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Iowa City Hum.�Iights Commission June 25, 1979 Page 5 who were present all voted aye. The committee was Linda McGuire as Chair, Dick Yates and Angelita Reyes. 5. Baseball team resolution. Linda McGuire reported that she will be reviewing the scheduling, facilities and times available that were made available to all teams that played in the league to determine if women's teams were equitably treated. It was also indicated that the Iowa Civil Rights Commission is issuing rules on sports activities and equity in sports. In regards to one of the Blue Ribbon Subcommittee's projects regarding the Human Rights Commission processing City employee complaints there was a meeting scheduled for 6-26. 6. Commission annual report to the City Council. Dick McCartt, Chair of the subcommittee, indicated a meeting was scheduled for July 5 at 8:00 a.m. 7. Commission bylaws. Steve Munzenmaier indicated he was still working on these. Some of the recommended changes were the following: including recommending powers by the Human Rights Commission in regards to appointments to the City Council after reviewing applications; changing the number of meeting dates to 11; deleting duplication of items; including internal complaint processing; reviewing the conciliation and hearing process. Munzenmaier indicated that the current language in the bylaws regarding subcommittee structures was not inconsistent with current practice. There was some discussion regarding a total independent Human Rights Commission patterned after the Des Moines Commission. The Des Moines commission is funded by the City and has paid staff. The staff report was distributed and there were no comments. Complaints There was no report by staff regarding whether an employer who permits cohabitating employees to work in the same division while not permitting married employees to do so is a violation of marital status under the local ordinance. Munzenmaier reported that the conciliation team found no probable cause in E/S, 9-18-7808. There were two basic issues which were wages and non - promotion. Although no probable cause was found, the conciliation team advised the employer of their concerns. The conciliation team was informed that a written reply from the respondent was forthcoming. .d IIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES HOMES l i Iowa City Humz'_�ights Commission June 25, 1979 Page 6 The Commission was advised that the investigative report in case E/R, 12- 22-7810 was in the Legal Department. The Commission was advised that there was a no probable cause finding in case E/S, 12-29-7811. Parties were apprised and by the time the Commission met the case was closed. The Commission was advised that case E/Re, 2-15-7901 was down in legal for review. Steve Munzenmaier the chair of the conciliation team in case E/S, 3-26- 7904 advised the Commission that the case materials were received by the conciliation team. These were being reviewed. The following cases were assigned by the Chair: H/R, 2-15-7901; PA/R, 2- 15-7901; E/R, 2-15-7902; E/S, 3-27-7903. Since they were assigned by the Chair prior to the Commission meeting the Commissioners who were present received case materials. Zukrowski indicated that two cases were in investigation which were E/S, 3-27-7903 and E/S, 5-2-7905. During the public discussion section of the meeting one individual indicated a complaint had been filed against Woodfield's. This vac a �eW case. jI Kuhn reported that in her monitoring of case PA/R, 5-15-7805 she would go and visit with the respondent. The July Commission meeting was set for July 23 at 7:30 1 p.m. Commissioners were apprised that they would not be meeting in August. j Angelita Reyes moved, Dick McCartt seconded, that the Commission adjourn.

CIVIC CENTER CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: Denniger, Gormezano, Hotka, Stager. STAFF PRESENT: Mose, Tinklenberg. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN Stager moved, Hotka seconded, to approve the minutes of the June 12, 1979 meeting as read. Approved unanimously. Election of Officers Stager moved, Gormezano seconded, to table the election of new officers until the August 14 meeting. Approved unanimously. National Energy Act Reports Commissioner Hotka submitted his written report. Additional action on the reports was deferred. I Preliminary Draft of Civic Center Energy Audit Report After a general discussion, Denniger stated that there was one problem which should be noted. The report states that the present air distribution system is adequate, however, while the size of the i system is adequate the distribution is not. Overall, the Commissioners felt that the recommended concept is good and that this study is much better than the last. Denniger noted that the cost of this additional study will be more than saved by the lower installation and operation costs of this recommended system compared to the costs of the system recommended in the first study. Mass Transit, Hugh Mose. Transit Svstem Manager Mose summarized the recent history of the transit system. Transit system ridership increased dramatically during FY79 over FY78 and it appears that the current ridership has increased by 17 percent over that of FY79. The result is that the transit system has been carrying its peak capacity during rush hours this summer. And, it is feared that the system will be swamped when university classes start again in September. New bus routes have been scheduled utilizing seven pairs of buses in the place of the existing six pairs. This schedule will be in place by the time school starts if passed soon by the City Council. Additional remedial measures considered were to lease additional buses or ask Iowa City firms to stagger their work hours. Neither of these options are attractive or viable. An additional limiting factor is that the bus barn is 1493 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES fdo1NES r k Minutes Resources Conservation Commission July 10, 1979 Page 2 too small for the maintenance and storage of additional buses. It is expected that in the future the central transfer area in the downtown will improve the transit service. Following Mose's presentation the Commissioners asked questions and made some suggestions. One Commissioner suggested running the Wardway bus route down to the fairgrounds during the Johnson County fair. Mose said he would look into it. Stager left at 6:00 p.m. Also suggested were combining night service routes, extending night service to midnight or 2:00 a.m., offering Sunday service, and j servicing North Liberty. Mose stated that combining the night service routes would disturb the regular schedule and make it more j difficult for riders to catch the buses. Studies have been done of night service and it has been found that in most cities transit ridership drops off dramatically after 10:00 p.m. The private system which preceded the Iowa City transit system offered Sunday service, however, it had a very low ridership. In the past, Coralville has tried to serve North Liberty, however, the ridership was extremely low and did not justify the cost. A Commissioner asked why the City did not charge for night parking which be a source of revenue and encourage nighttime bus ridership. The Commissioners agreed to take up this question at the next meeting. Due to a lack of quorum, Chairperson Denniger adjourned the meeting at 6:40 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Roger Tinklenberg. Ira Bolnick, Secretary.

Jones Chairman Phipps called meeting to order at 7%30 P.M. Minutes of May 24th meeting'were presented. There were several spelling errors which were corrected. Bleckwenn moved, seconded by Saeugling that the minutes be approved. Motion carried. Bills for the month were presented. Bleckwenn moved, Saeugling sec- onded the motion that bills be paid as presented. Motion carried. Bleckwenn pointed out while he was chairman he had asked Mel Jones to provide the Commission with a status report on the Commission insurance in laymans terms as there appears some duplication of insur- ance. Embiee moved, Saeugling seconded the motion to have Mel Jones present a status report on the Commission's insurance. Motion carried The Manager presented his report. (copy attached) It was moved by Embree, seconded by Bleckwenn to authorize the Manager to install high pressure sodium lights in the old shop. Motion carried. The Manager asked the Commission whether or not they were in favor of the Highway Commission building a drainage ditch through Airport proper- ty. Embree pointed out that the proposed ditch would cut off the land leased to Alberhasky. The Manager presented a letter written to the Resident Engineer from the City Engineer. (copy attached) General discussion followed. The Chairman is to visit with the Resi- dent Engineer of the Highway Commission and to express the Commission's dissatisfaction toward the proposed construction of the ditch. Kevin Gleaves gave his presentation on the request to fly ultralight aircraft off the Iowa City Airport. The Manager read an -Advisory Circular from the F.A.A. recommending that ultra -light aircraft not be allowed to operate within five miles of a non -controlled airport. General discussion followed. Bleckwenn moved, seconded by Saeugling that ultra -light aircraft not be allowed to operate at the Iowa City Airport unless the aircraft is licensed by the F.A.A. and is operated by a F.-A.A. licensed pilot. Chairman reported on the correspondence he had received concerning the restrictions imposed by the Commission at their May 24th meeting. Letters from I.D.O.T., F.A.A. Regional Office, and from William Tucker, Commission Attorney. (Copies of letters attached) MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES Mo111ES i I i June 28, 1979 -2- General discussion followed. Saeugling suggested that Commission members, if at all possible in the future, receive copies of all correspondence prior to the meeting. Chairman Phipps stated that the majority of the correspondence had just come in, but would attempt to get copies out to the members in the future. The question was raised as to how the F.A.A. and I.D.O.T. were notified of the restriction. Chairman Phipps read a letter from the Manager, (copy attached). Bleckwenn stated he had talked to I.D.O.T. The Manager pointed out that as Manager he was responsible to the F.A.A. and the I.D.O.T. for the safe operation of the airport and whenever anyone does something which hampers safe operations it is his responsibil- ity to report to them. Saeugling felt the resolution should be held in abeyance until the next meeting so that the Commission could study all the correspondence. A member of the audience expressed the view that the Commission should operate just like the City Council and receive copies of all cor- respondence weekly. The Chairman pointed out the Commission does not have the money t q�his. The Manager pointed out that until the Commission got a phone credit card last year he had paid for the majority of the Commissions phone calls. Embree stated she was bothered about the Manager's letter to the F.A.A. acting on the behalf of the Commission. The manager stated he was not acting on behalf of the Commission, but is required to enforce F.A.A. Regulations and that he was not an employee of the Airport Commission and is not responsible to the Commission when the Commission vi&VAfs the F.A.A. and Iowa Code. He said the Manager is just like a city judge, just because the city pays the judge that doesn't mean he rules the way the city wants him to rule. Bleckwenn stated the Manager is responsible for the safe operation of the airport. Saeugling felt the Manager should be responsible first to the Airport Commission and if he was going to write the letter to the F.A.A. he should have told the Commission first. The Manager stated that according to last months minutes he had tried to tell the Commission they were in violation, but the Commission's idea was to pass the resolution and see what happened. Saeugling suggested the matter of the resolution be tabled until the next meeting. Bleckwenn suggested the Commission rescind the resolution until the next meeting. Chairman Phipps felt it was a good idea as the Commission had received all the documentation from responsible people including their attorney advising they have done the wrong thing. Saeugling and Embree felt the communication received were solicited by the Airport Manager. The Chairman stated it is quite evident the resolution is against the law. Saeugling moved, Embree seconded the motion to have their attorney at the next meeting. Motion carried. Bleckwenn moved the Commission lift the student restriction for the next two weeks until the next meeting. Motion died for lack of a second. FIICROFILMEO BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES ,Ia011IEs n June 28, 1979 -3- Chairman Phipps presented a letter from McCrabtattorney, (copy attached). General discussion followed. Moved by Bleckwenn, seconded by Embree, that prior to subletting the building the Commission should have inspection priviledges and ask their attorney if there is any bases they could stop McCrab from subletting the building. Motion carried. Chairman Phipps stated he had checked -with their attorney about changing the flowage fee. The Manager read a letter from the Iowa City Flying Service, (copy attached). General discussion followed. Chairman Phipps asked the Commission to adopt a resolution thanking Dennis Gordon for his report. Embree moved, Bleckwenn seconded the motion to thank Dennis Gordon for his report. Motion carried. Chairman Phipps reported he had received a letter from E.M. Nelson, (copy attached). The Manager pointed out that there are a set of istandards at the Iowa City Airport and to conduct a service for which to charge the public you must meet those standards. Not only does it protect the public who walk through the door but the Com- mission as well. These standards were approved by the F.A.A. The Commission concurred with the Managers stand in enforcement of the standards. There was a short discussion concerning the Commission members and the Manager spending their own money to conduct Commis- sion business. Meeting adjourned.

I would offer the following comments which would represent staff opinion: 1. The corners at stations 12 + 00 and station 20 + 00 should either I be more rounded or should be provided with a protective covering to prevent erosion. 2. The culverts under Highway 218 should be extended between 100 and 150 feet. This would allow a frontage road, etc., to be constructed in the future. 3. I would point out that the property east of Highway 218 was a landfill and may represent some problems for either open ditch or pipe installation. j 4. As I have discussed with you in the past, there is a great deal of j # speculation regarding who owns the property east of Highway 218. For the purposes of my comments, I am assuming that the Parks and t ! Recreation Department will maintain this area as a park. In that 4 d instance, I would suggest that we have a four to one slope on the € ditches through this area. Although it may be desirable to have this side sloped in the area west of Highway 218, I leave that decision at the discretion of the Airport Commission. i I t i I I I j IIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB j CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES I N 14A Mr. Richard Kau,c May 14,,1979 Page 2 Dick, these are very cursory comments and I would expect to be able to review. any final plans that you may develop.

I have been the Airport Manager of this airport the past 19 years and there has been only two engine failures; no one was injured; no property damaged; -and the aircraft were slightly damaged. These restrictions not only create.a safety hazard, but also discriminate against the student pilot, who can only fly during the hours of restriction. To be very frank with you I can see no way for the Manager of this airport to enforce such a restriction except those aircraft owned j. by the local fixed base operator and that would be discriminating s• against the owners, their students and instructors. sl For the foregoing reasons I urge you to review the Commission's actions and to take the necessary action to eliminate the Commission's restrictions.

HUM i,50 IOWA CITY, IOWA 52240 Mr. Dick Phipps, Chairman Iowa City Airport Commission 825 Normandy Drive Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Dick, June 12, 1979 I have two matters which I wish to call to your attention. Tb Ll.. nuns ;,"n.lion IAnLn COC[ Jl p) The first is in reference to the McCrabb lease. I wrote a letter to Jim McCrabb at McCrabb Engineering in West Liberty and sent the letter certified. In the letter I advised him that I had been informed that he had not paid the rent as provided under the terms of his lease and that the notice I was giving'to him constituted a three day notice to correct such matter or that a forcible entry and detainer action would be? instituted against him to vacate said premises. On June 11, I received a telephone call from him advising that he had received my letter and the reason he had not paid the rent was that he had made a formal request approximately sixty days ago that he be allowed to sub - rent the property to somebody else and that the matter had been tabled by the,Airport Commission; and he was waiting for a response. , I indicated to him that the failure of the Board to respond to such request -did not relieve him from the responsibility of payment of rent. He admitted such fact and stated that he would forward the delinquent rent which he felt was solely for the month of June. I have no know- ledge as to the amount of rent which he has either paid or nonpaid, but I advised him that he should pay all rent which was due under the terms and provisions of his lease. If he does do this, he is entitled to continued possession. In MCROFIVED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 'MIRES 0 •.a Mr. Dick PhippL Chairman June 12, 1979 Page 2 the absence thereof, I will have to institute a legal action in District Court in order to obtain his technical removal. I also discussed with him the question of the fact that he had failed to pay the lumber bills in connection with the remodeling. I indicated that the Iowa City Airport Commission would like to see this matter paid, but it was not a matter which could legally affect the validity of his lease. I told him that I indicated to the lumber yard and to the Airport Commission that the matter of the payment of the lumber bill was directly between the lumber company and Mr..McCrabb and any actions for lien enforcement would have to.be taken under the statute. You should be receiving rent payment within the next day or two, and if it is full and complete be sure and let me know. Also let me know if you do not receive payment. I do know that Mr. McCrabb has a sub- stantial number of other judgments against him and there- fore, there could be some question about his present ability to pay the back rent. The second matter is in reference to a resolution passed by the Airport Commission prohibiting student pilots from taking off on Runway 35 or 30 between the hours of 4:00 and 9:00 p.m. I originally received a telephone call from one of the pilot instructors who advised that this is creating j a very dangerous situation inasmuch as to require the students to use other runways would require them to either take -off or land cross -wind and would create a situation which would be adverse to the interests of the safety of said pilots and personnel on the ground. The second contact was a letter from the Iowa State Department of Transportation, Aeronautics Division, directed to Mr. E.K. Jones, advising him that they have been advised of the resolution and they feel it fails to comply with the provisions of Chapter 328.19 of the Code of Iowa. I subsequently discussed this matter with Mr. Jones and he reiterated the position taken by the instructor as to the danger of such matter as well as raising the question as to air traffic control. I do feel there can be some question concerning the z' legality of the resolution apparently passed by the Airport Commission. It is discriminatory in that it affects solely student pilots and additionally it is regulatory in a matter a MICROFILMED BY j DORM MICROLAB I CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES June 12, 1979r� i - Page 2 which is probably under the sole control of either the Aeronautics Division of the Department of Transportation or of the Federal Aviation Agency.

At the present time the Fixed Base Operator is not willing to amend the lease. The Commission must understand where there are negotiations it is i a two-way street. The Commission's recent discrimiatory act against the Fixed Base Operator, their employees and customers, and airport users leaves a great deal to be desired, 5 The Fixed Base Operator, Lessee, believes the Commission, Lessor, i y is in violation of the lease, page 5, paragraph 11, which states, i "Lessee shall have complete, but non-exclusive, rights to ingress, t egress, and free access to the leased premises, and shall have peaceable possession and quiet enjoyment thereof during the term of this lease; and this right shall extend to the lessee's employees, �. agents, passengers, guests, invitees, and patrons, and shall include these rights with respect to the runways, lighting systems, ramps, e and other aviation facilities located on said Airport, and useful in connection with landing, taking -off, and operation of aircraft )' from said Airport." Once the Commission has demonstrated its willingness of meeting their obligations under this lease, then the Fixed Base Operator will be willing to negotiate the flowage fee. iE.

On Thursday, June 14, 1979, I requested a tie down area for an aircraft which I had purchased and had planned to move to Iowa City on that coming Saturday, June 16, 1979. I paid two months tie down in advance and was shown the tie down area by the line personnel. At that time, the tie down straps were installed. On Friday, June 15, I returned to the air- port to mow the grass because of its depth and found the tie down straps had been removed. On questioning the line people, I was told that Mr. E. K. Jones had ordered the tie downs removed and had told his employees that I could not park my aircraft in Iowa City. After a message was left at Mr. E. K. Jones' home, he returned my call at approximately .10:15 PM that evening. He then ex- pressed to me his feeling about freelance instructors (shade - tree operators), and my lack of qualifications. He finally stated that if I was going to instruct in Iowa City I had to have four primary trainers, two, advance trainers, and one multi -engine aircraft.

Total flight time over 15,600 plus hours. I feel sure these qualifications are at least equal to Mr. E. K. Jones' instructors. After reading the city ordinance requirements for a license to operate in Iowa City, I then contacted the city clerk's office which was not aware of such a license or the appropriate forms to be used to make application for such a license. So, at this time, if a license is required to give instruction on the Iowa City Airport, I would like to make application. Mr. Jones has verbally denied me right to take off or land, to discharge passengers, stop for fuel or any other operation from the Iowa City Airport, no matter where my aircraft is tied down. I must say with over 15 years of mixed aviation experience I have never heard of such rules or power to delegate such rules or ordinances given to any one man or airport commission, especially a city owned and federal funded airport. As a taxpayer and property owner in Iowa City, I feel my rights as Iowa citizen and a pilot have been denied. 'I feel that Mr. ,Jones' actions and intent are illegal. His actions are causing me a great deal of inconvenience and money. I feel If no satisfaction is obtained from the airport commission that some legal action must follow. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely E. M. Nelson MICROFILMED BY , JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101HES July 11, 1979 Mr. Kenneth L.

The FY80 budget indicates that $12,650 for commodities and ;40,635 for service charges have been appropriated for Airport Commission purposes. It would be inappropriate for either the City Manager or the City Council to interfere in the internal operations of the Airport Commission. Under the law, the Airport Commission may utilize the budget allocated to it for purposes it deems appropriate. This includes postage and other expenses relating to the operation of Commission business. Sincerely yours, Neal G. Berlin City Manager bdw cc: Airport Commi s on E. K.

Each new member ii traditionally is issued Virginia Young's The Library Trustee as a reference book to use during the term, as well as an orientation packet. It was felt that a tour of the library conducted by the Director and one current Board member had previously been very helpful. One Board member encouraged the Board to become acquainted with the library employees. Knowledge of the entire i system which the Board is a part of was stressed. The importance of giving i citizens accurate information was emphasized by another Board member.

It was recommended that the basis for the fee be clearly explained in the letter. Regular Board meetings are scheduled for the fourth Thursday of each month at 4:00 PM, to be held in the Storyhour Room. The Director requested that she be kept informed when Board members will be late or absent. The next two Regular meetings will then be July 26, 1979, and August 23, 1979. Before adjourning at 5:40 PM, Vice -President Moore extended thanks to out- going Board members Ronald Farber, Louane Newsome and David Kirkman for their dedication during the past six years. Farber gave a brief summary of accomplish- ments during his term and expressed his hope that a future Board would be able to accomplish two of his unmet goals: creating an assistant director Position and finding more ways for the public schools to cooperate with the public library. Moore said the Board would continue to benefit from the retiring members' expertise as they will continue as members of the Building Committees.

We were able to use about .$12,775 from the operating budget to assist with start- up costs for the Computer Conversion. Ibis was possible by borrowing from all parts of the budget, but the principal amount ($6,650) came from the library materials budget. Conversion Project report We are over 1/3 finished entering the collection into the computer data base. Nearly 40,000 items had been entered by June 19. We now have a staff of 19.6 (F.T.E.) working on the project with a payroll of over $3,000 a week. That includes everyone from processors and data - entry operators thru editors, supervisors and the department head. In addition the Director probably spends another 15-20 hours a week. While the job is a mammouth one, it should be remembered that when we are finished we will have also done a complete inventory of the collection, examined every item for physical condition resulting in thousands of repaired and rebound books, and will have untangled hundreds of biblio- graphic errors which have accumulated in the card catalog - a file in continuous use since 1905 with additions and deletions made daily for nearly 75 years.. 'rhe amount of repairs and rebinding needed has dramatized the terrible physical shape the collection is in due to the very heavy use of a relatively small number of volumes. 'rhe conversion staff will be at full capacity during July and August and will taper off in September as the project winds down and many of our temporary staff return to school. The equipment has been performing very well since our period of trouble last month. We've had almost no "down" time since early June. Next week we start staffing a desk in the lobby where people with current library cards can get the new one required by the new system. We have lined up volunteers to staff the desk every hour the library is open from July 1 thru September 30. This is our first big push for volunteers under our new volunteer program and response has been gratifying. We are still planning on an October 1 start-up date for the new system We are in the process now of making a final check list of all the things that must be done to meet that deadline.

So far, they seem well within administrative guidelines and not necessary for Board to review. Our primary change is having children carry their own cards instead of their being kept on file at the library. Our primary problem is structuring the rules so that it becomes inconvenient to the borrower who forgets to bring his card. The automated system slows down to the extent people do not have their bar -encoded cards with them. Building Program - Status as of 6/19/79 1. first draft of furniture layout has been completed. It is still rough, but suitable for information needed for contract documents. 2. Lighting has proved to be one of the most difficult systems to design. The long-term flexibility requirements of a library conflict with efficient use of energy. We are still waiting for computer analysis. For more details see minutes of Building Committee N1. 3. Casework (built-ins, Circulation and Information desks, etc.) is pretty well finished and ready for final Board review. This has taken lots of staff time. We will also have the opportunity to review shop drawings after the contract is let, so feel we have good control here. 4. The electrical and communications plans are the most detailed to plan and review: We've got to decide and then check the location of every plug, telephone jack, computer jack, audio jack, video jack, light switch and light fixture - and in the proposed building it will be a complex system. s. The list of alternates was reviewed again by the Building Committee on .lune 6 (see minutes). Although it didn't get recorded in the minutes, I think the other major decision that day was that it no longer seems as important as originally thought to put them in priority order until after the building goes out to bid. Actual bids received on various items will help make final choices. i 6. We have received proposals for a telephone system from North- western Bell and Telcom of Cedar Rapids. The latter was examined this week at the law offices of Meadon, Sueppel, Downer and Hayes. We are very impressed with the features and the price and will review with Building Committee 02 soon.

The review with the Resources Conservation Commission on June 12 went very well. Art Koffron, Hansen Lind Meyer (IILM) project manager and John Brown, HLM engineer and the library director discussed energy related issues with the Commission. The pro- posed HVAC system was explained in detail as was the general building envelope - insulation, window system, etc. The lighting was discussed although in a tentative way since its planning is incomplete. We received a very positive response from the commission (1) for coming and allowing them to review and (2) for the general care for energy issues that seems to have guided the planning process of both FILM and the library Board and staff.

Boothroy presented an overlay of the area and stated that there had been no changes made to the plan since the previous Commission meeting.

Public discussion of a preliminary and final Large Scale Residential Development plan of Cedarwood Apartments, located at 2000 Broadway Street; 45 -day limitation period: 8/9/79, 60 -day limitation period: 8/24/79, Boothroy presented revised plans which incorporated staff concerns and comments. He stated that the plan was still not in compliance with the Tree Regulations and suggested that if the plan is approved it be contingent upon a note being added to the plan that the required right-of-way trees be planted within 8 feet of the right-of-way. There being no discussion on this item, Blum called for a vote for approval of the preliminary and final Large Scale Residential Development plan of Cedarwood Apartments, located at 2000 Broadway Street, subject to (1) the legal papers being revised, (2) the signatures of the utility companies being provided, and (3) a note beingadded to the plan stating that the required right-of-way trees will be planted within 8 feet of the right-of-way line. Approval was unanimous (4-0). 5-7749. Discussion of an amendment to the preliminary and final Large Scale Residential Development plan of Pentacrest Garden Court Apartments, located between Burlington and Court Streets and between Madison and Clinton Streets. Jakobsen stated that she had not noticed any significant increase in the traffic in this area since the completion of the apartments. Blum stated, that although the Commission had approved the LSRD plan with this access closed, the implementation had been delayed while other decisions were made about traffic flow on S. Capitol Street. Since having the access onto S. Capitol had not j seemed to create any traffic problems, he saw no specific reason for requiring closure of the access as long as no parking spaces had direct access to the driveway. After a brief discussion, Jakobsen moved, and Kammermeyer seconded, that the prelimi- nary and final Large Scale Residential Development plan of Pentacrest Garden Court jApartments, located between Burlington and Court Streets and between Madison and Clinton Streets, be amended as follows: "That access be allowed from the south parking lot of,the Pentacrest Garden Court Apartments to Court Street at Capitol ' Street and constructed in a manner so that no parking spaces access directly to the drive leading to the lot from Court Street; in addition, the aforementioned change i should be made to the LSRD plan and the plan submitted to the City prior to Council appro0al." Motion carried unanimously (4-0). Blum stated that he had received a letter from Dick Gibson at the University of Iowa stating that he would like to review the draft sections of the new zoning ordinance. Ogesen stated that he thought the Commission should respond to Mr. Gibson's letter and thank him for his interest. Blum will take care of this. i Blum asked if anyone had been appointed to fill the vacancy due to Patt Cain's resignation. He was informed that the vacancy would be readvertised.

Northeast of Amhurst Street Approximately 9 acres Undeveloped and RIB North - single family, undeveloped and RIB East - undeveloped and RIB South - single family, undeveloped and RIB, R3A West - single family and RIB The area is designated for two -eight dwelling units per acre.

Sanitary service is available as well as police and fire protection. Vehicular access is proposed from Oberlin Street. r, MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOVIES 1537 Physical characteristics: ANALYSIS Topography is gently to steeply sloping (2-16%). The final developement plan deviates from the approved preliminary plan in the following ways: the overall density of the plan has been increased from 41 to 42 dwelling units, the area of Lot 116 has been enlarged and its density increased by 4 dwelling units, Oberlin Place has been deleted from the plans, the design and arrangement of the dwelling units on Lots 122, 123 and 124 has been altered, Hanover Court is proposed as a public street in lieu of being private, and there is a reduction in the rear yard set backs for four units located on Lot 116. It is the staff's opinion that these modifications represent a substantial change from the approved preliminary plan and the applicant, therefore, could be required to submit an amended preliminary plat, PAD, and LSRD plan. Since the infrastructure (i.e. sewer, water, stormwater detention, streets, etc.) is consistent with that approved on the preliminary plans, it is not necessary to require resubmittal of the preliminary plan. But because the final plans deviate substantially from the approved preliminary plan, the Commission may exercise the same discretion in its review of the preliminary plans and is not required to approve the final plans as submitted. Hanover Court is proposed as a public street with a 45 foot right-of-way and with sidewalks only along the south side of the street. If approved as proposed, the Commission would be waiving the design standards regarding streets and sidewalks. The Engineering Division has reviewed this proposal and found its design acceptable. Waiving design standards to accomodate higher densities of development, however, is a concern of the Planning staff especially as it affects the site design of Lot 116, e.g., reduced rear yard setbacks. Hanover Place is proposed as a private street and is not intended to be used as a through street. Design of the Street should prohibit its use for through traffic. This might best be accomplished by the use of curbs and plantings located at the end of the street. Another concern is the continued maintenance of the stormwater detention basin. Making this the responsibility of any one lot could pose a hardship for the owner of that lot. The staff recommends creation of a home owner's association to include the entire developement in order to apportion the detention basin's upkeep costs on a per lot basis. RECOMMENDATION It is the staff's recommendation that the final plat, PAD, and large scale residential development plan 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 plat, PAD and LSRD plan be approved.

ANALYSIS The applicant is requesting approval of a large scale residential development consisting of four 12 -unit and two 8 -unit multi -family residential buildings. The development is an integrated housing project of which 20% is subsidized. The proposed density is about 1/3 of that allowed under the present R3B zoning but is more (i.e. 17.6 DU/acre ! exceeds the recommended 8-16 DU/acre) than what is recommended by the Comprehensive Plan. The staff finds the overall design of the subject development to be good. RECOMMENDATION I It is the staff's recommendation that the preliminary and final Large Scale Residential Development plan be deferred. Upon revision of the plan correcting the deficiencies and discrepancies noted below, the staff recommends that the preliminary and final LSRD plan be approved. j DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES 1. The legal papers are not in order and should be revised. 2. The signatures of the utility companies and a registered land surveyor should be provided. 3. The plan does not meet the requirements of the Tree Regulations. 4. The drives, parking, islands, etc. should be fully dimensioned. 5. The width of the right-of-way of Broadway Street should be indicated. i 6. The parking areas should be screened from adjacent residential areas by either a permanent type evergreen planting screen or a solid fence. 7. The fire hydrants should be provided in accordance with the ' recommendation of the Fire Chief. 8. The location of the stormwater detention facilities should be outlined and their capacities indicated on the plan. 9. The gross acreage and the gross density indicated on the plan is incorrect and should be corrected. 10. The title of the plan should read Preliminary and Final Large Scale Residential Development Plan of Cedarwood Apartments. 11. Construction details for the paving cut on Broadway Street should be submitted to the Engineering Division for their review and approval. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB iCEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES 3 12.
