Housing Appeals - Steinbach 1) Discussion re storm windows and storm doors - Town F, Campus Apartments: Steinbach requested Commission seek formal clarification from Council regarding intent of the wording "...other acceptable protective means..." Bob Johnson questioned whether intent was energy efficiency or comfort? 2) Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 78-2891 of the Code of Ordinances of Iowa City:- It was moved by VanderZee, seconded by Dennis, "that we com- municate by letter to the City Council of Iowa City asking them to defer action on the exception, so that the Commission will be able to discuss and properly formulate criteria for the enforcement of the exception." Approved 4/0. Discussion and concern centered around Section II, Item N3, "Exception: Dwellings designated by official action of the City Council as having special historical or architectural significance shall be exempted from the above door/window requirements." Commission members present felt that additional research would be required on their part before they could properly draft such guidelines.

He indicated he believed it to be too broad and fur- ther indicated his concern with the word "historical". 3) By-laws - Housing Board of Appeals - following discussion regarding proposed revisions including need to meet twice a month (possibly one morning and one evening per month), Commission concurred that they should vote on revisions next month. 4) Steinbach reported that he is currently preparing a report on the State Housing Code and ramifications for enforcement of local codes and avail- able housing. 5) Steinbach further reported that Adrian Anderson, Historical Preservation, is interested in talking with Housing Commission.

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 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 186 Iowa City Huma, ,lights 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 basis or the Human Relations Department. An economic boycott was 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. 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.

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. MICROFILI4ED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES Iowa City Human ..fights 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. 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 110 RIES M Iowa City Humai. ights 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. i 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.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL None RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE STAFF AND CITY MANAGER None SUMMARY OF RELEVANT DISCUSSION 1. The special meeting requested by the conciliation team, Munzenmaier, Chair, was called to order at 8:40 A.M. in the City Manager's Conference room. There was one item on the agenda which was that the conciliation team would report on its progress to date of seven complaint cases. Munzenmaier moved and Kuhn seconded that since the investigation had found probable cause in the cases and conciliation was not possible, a public hearing of the cases that were filed against Woodfield's should be the next step. All members present voted aye on the motion to go to a public hearing and the motion carried. The Chair established July 23, 1979, at 7:30 P.M. as the date for the public hearing. The public hearing is to be held in the Civic Center Conference Chambers and the reason for the public hearing is that there was a violation of Section 18-33 of the Code of Ordinances of Iowa City. At that point Ryan entered the meeting to explain to Commissioners and the general public the procedures on a public hearing. She indicated that the format was much like a trial in that 1) the conciliation team had the role of witnesses, 2) hearsay evidence is I MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Iowa City Hum, lights Commission July 11, 1979 Page 2 allowed, and 3) complainants are witnesses. She also specified that the procedures would mainly follow the ordinance. Pat White, attorney, again requested a copy of the investigative report. After some questions and answers from staff, Commission members and general public attending, a motion was made by McGuire and seconded by Kuhn that a hearing officer not be hired. All members present voted aye. The hearing officers will be Braverman, Chair, McGuire and Yates. For the record, Pat White wanted it to be known that he objected to the appointment of three hearing officers and to the hearing date because the current commission "bylaws" were not in effect when the charges of discrimination were originally filed with the Human Rights Commission. Mr. White felt that the Commission should be operating under the same bylaws for these complaints that was actually in effect when the complaints were filed. He also felt that all Commissioners, excluding the conciliation team, had to be hearing officers. Kuhn moved and Yates seconded for adjournment. Meeting ended at 9:40 P.M.

The legal staff gave the Commission members and participants attending the general idea of how the hearing would proceed. Patrick White wanted the authority to cross examine each hearing officer to determine their objectivity. Braverman informed Mr. White, attorney for Ambrose-Lovetinsky, that he could obtain written statements signed by each hearing officer that stated that they had no connection with either party involved in the case. There was also some discussion about the physical arrangement of the public hearing, where the complainants would be seated in the procedures, and guidelines set down for the news media. Patrick White indicated that he felt there should be ruling of no moving cameras or lights as it might disrupt witnesses. At that point the hearing officers agreed that some limitations should be made. The legal staff is to research into those aspects and make a recommendation. i ! Patrick White asked that briefs be submitted and Braverman added that any ! amendments to the briefs that were submitted had to be filed before 1:30 PM on July 24, 1979, the day after the public hearing. Another aspect covered was that the legal staff felt that it was important for hearing officers to take notes during the proceedings, as after so many testimonies and facts have been presented, it is easier to go back through to review them. After much discussion, questions and answers, the hearing officers were more assured as to how to proceed in the hearing to be held July 23, 1979. Meeting adjourned at 11:00 AM.

STAFF PRESENT: Terry Steinbach, Linda Cook, Dave Malone, Roger Tinklenberg. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION Chairman Klaus asked for corrections to the June 14 minutes. Steinbach presented a brief discussion of the proper procedure for correcting minutes. Smithey moved that the minutes of June 14, 1979, be approved as corrected, Owens seconded, minutes approved unanimously. Klaus asked for corrections to the minutes of July 12, 1979. Smithey asked that the minutes of the July 12, 1979, meeting be amended to state that after hearing the Steven Bright case,he was absent from the remainder of the meeting. Smithey moved, Owens seconded, that the Housing Appeals Board minutes of July 12 be accepted with the previously mentioned correction. Minutes were accepted by a unanimous vote. j BOARD TO HEAR THE CASE OF A. GILES WARRACK -- 812 E. DAVENPORT Steinbach presented an explanation of a recent amendment to the Housing Code concerning ceiling heights. He also presented background material regarding the case of Mr. and Mrs. Warrack stating that an appeal had originally been heard i on May 10, 1979, and had at that point been continued. Steinbach said that the City had received information from the Warracks which was taken from the North Side Neighborhood Preservation Study. This information showed that the dwelling was listed on the 1906 Sanborn map as a single family dwelling and has not changed use or classification since that time. Steinbach then asked that the Appeals Board dismiss the case. Owens moved, Smithey seconded, that the Warrack case be dismissed. Warrack case was dismissed by a unanimous vote. BOARD TO HEAR THE CASE OF JAMES A. SHAMANSKY -- 420 N. GILBERT Steinbach stated the history of the continuance of the case and also stated that he and Inspector Barnes had visited the property and found all appealed violations to have been corrected by Mr. Shamansky. He stated that for this reason the City asked that the case be dismissed. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES /ff6d 2 Dennis moved, Owens seconded, that the case against James A. Shamansky be dismissed. Smithey asked what corrections Mr. Shamansky had made. Steinbach stated that Mr. Shamansky had moved ceiling pipe ob- structions to gain proper ceiling height and had moved a location of an entry door to gain proper doorway height. Smithey asked whether a dismissal was the proper procedure to follow. Cook replied that since all corrections had been made there was no longer a case against Mr. Shamansky. She stated that it was similar to any other court proceeding, such that since all evidence shows that there is no longer a violation a dismissal would be sought. A dismissal was approved by unanimous vote. All those who had and would testify were sworn in by the Chairman. BOARD TO CONSIDER THE CASE OF MR. ROBERT J. JOHNSON -- 1100 ARTHUR Steinbach stated that as he had before, the appeal had been properly filed and that a continuance had been granted at the June 14, 1979, meeting. He asked if the Board members had had a chance to review the memorandum which had been submitted by Roger Tinklenberg, Energy Program Coordinator. He stated that Mr. Tinklenberg could be called to testify at any time during the meeting. The Board asked that he be called to the meeting. Johnson stated that he had received notification of the Appeals Board meeting on the previous Monday morning and felt that the City was somewhat unfair in such a short notification period. He further stated that the manager of Town and Campus j Apartments had received a copy of Mr. Tinklenberg's memorandum in the afternoon of August 8, 1979; and again he felt that not enough time was given him to prepare for the meeting of the 9th. He stated that he may have found it appropriate to bring his own expert witnesses to the meeting. Johnson stated that he did not receive a copy of the City Attorney's statement until 7:58 A. M. on the morning of the 9th of August. He stated that the City should have supplied him with all of this information on a more timely basis. He stated that he felt as if he was at a disadvantage. I Smithey asked whether or not Mr. Johnson would be interested in asking for a continuance. Johnson answered that if the Board felt that an insufficient amount of information was presented he would then request a continuance. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES I M , 3 Chairman Klaus swore in Tinklenberg. Steinbach asked Malone to restate his findings regarding Town and Campus Apartments. Malone stated that there were no storm doors on the exterior entry doors nor was there insulating glass on the glass sliding doors. Malone also stated that there were no storm windows on any of the exterior windows. Johnson asked whether Malone was able to establish that there was in fact not insulating glass at the apartments. Malone stated that to the best of his knowledge he was not able to determine there to be insulating glass. He stated that he had called St. Louis to discuss with the previous managers of the apartment complex the question of whether insulating glass was in the original specifications of the apartments. Malone stated that the original specifications had not been found to this date. Malone stated that since he was not able to determine that there was insulating glass on the present installation that he was therefore assuming that what was there is not insulated glass. Johnson stated that by definition all glass is insulating. Cook asked Mr. Johnson whether he was contending that the glass at Town and Campus is insulated or thermopane. Johnson replied that he did not make that statement. Steinbach asked Tinklenberg to present an explanation of his memorandum. Klaus asked if the memorandum should be entered into the record. Steinbach replied that that was the decision of the Board. Smithey asked that Mr. Tinklenberg give an explanation including references and resources before the papers be accepted. Klaus introduced the memorandum of August 8 by Tinklenberg into the minutes of the meeting. Tinklenberg stated that it was his interpretation of the Board's question to him of whether insulated drapes and weatherstripping around the doors was sufficient to meet the requirements of the code. He stated that those would not be sufficient remedies to guard against heat loss even though those remedies would cut down on air infiltration. He stated that in a theoretical case where insulated drapes created a air seal next to a single pane of glass you would in fact receive insulating qualities; however, that was not the situation in FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOIIIES a ----- _: -- - 4 this case. Tinklenberg stated that his resource of information was the Wisconsin Energy Extension Service. Tinklenberg also stated that drapes would serve no insulating function during the day if drawn open due to the light needs within the dwelling unit. Johnson asked that if the use of drapes was an option whether the use of storm windows was, in fact, an option also. Tinklenberg replied that yes for the purpose of ventilation those two would be options. Johnson questioned some information on page 3 of Tinklenberg's memorandum and used the Home Energy Savers Manual issued by the Iowa Energy Policy Council for reference. Klaus entered page 53 of the manual into the records. A discussion followed regarding the validity of Johnson's and Tinklenberg's references. It appeared to be agreeable that each witnesses' expert source had a slightly different calculation for heat loss. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding R -factors, heat loss in BTUs, air infiltration and temperature conductance through materials, inflation, cost and installation payback figures, and public safety and welfare. Johnson stated that Town and Campus Apartments was in the process of installing new furnace systems in each dwelling unit. He stated that the units were high efficiency furnace units. He stated that the installation of these furnaces would be a gradual one. Steinbach stated his concern as to the direction the discussion was leading and questioned whether the information being presented was pertinent to the Board's decision in determining whether or not a violation existed. The remainder of the meeting was not recorded on tape due to malfunction of recorder. Cook stated that the purpose of the hearing was not to get involved in energy conservation, rather to interpret the language of the code. The Board had asked that she prepare and submit a written statement as to whether thermal or insulated drapes would constitute "an other device" for protection against cold under section 9.30.4.I.2(g) of the Iowa City Housing Code. Cooks statement was entered into the record by Chairman Klaus. Cook went on to say that it was the opinion of the Legal staff that thermal drapes are not an alternative device for protection against the elements. She stated that her resources were the Housing Code and Websters International Dictionary. She stated that relying on drapes as insulators MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DCS t40111ES a M r 5 against cold weather would, in fact, be inconsistent with the light requirements of the same Housing Code. Cook also stated that it is a high cost to the City to administer a set of variable standards. Steinbach made a recommendation to the Appeals Board members that it was important to first decide whether the code allows for any alternatives other than storm doors and windows and then it would be their duty to determine if a violation was in existence. An interruption of the hearing was made by Alex Gillett, representative of Seville Apartments. He stated that he had received written notice of the Appeals Board meeting and that he had been asked to appear at 8:45 A.M. He was upset that he had been waiting for an hour and one-half and his case had not even begun to be heard. Klaus apologized to Mr. Gillett and stated that it is the intention of the Board to treat each case in a fair manner and that it would be unfair to cut any hearing short. She stated to Mr. Gillett that she felt he would appreciate the same Policy while hearing his case also. i long Smithey stated that it was quite difficult to predetermine how arisen i case would take and that asked to wait the p st such that the Appeals hBoard �members had been fappearance was reason that Mr.Gilletthad been s heduled at the timeshe was he Gillett stated that he had other things he had to do and asked that his case be heard at another time and that he be notified of the exact time of such hearing. The Board was agreeable to the wishes of Mr. Gillett. Steinbach stated that he would contact Mr. Gillett to inform him of when his case would be heard. Smithey stated his concerns of housing for the City of Iowa Citroviy. He adequate rental read appropriate code section and stated that it ape through the ar intent was one of protection against the cold, i.e. as if the comf rather than energy conservation. Smithey also stated thatort the' code did not state that it was intended to limit heat loss. He stated that the code seems to open up a miriad of alternatives and it needs further clarification. Tinklenberg stated that one cannot distinguish heat or energy loss from the comfort of an occupant. FIICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MO RIES �. 6 Smithey asked when the storm door and window requirement had been written into the Housing Code. Cook left the meeting in order to respond to Smithey's question. She returned and stated that the requirement went into effect in May of 1978. The requirement had not been a part of any earlier Housing Code. Meeting took a ten minute break. Steinbach stated that there had been some question as to the cost effectiveness of storm doors and windows and that Tinklenberg's memo had pointed out that such installations, in fact, are cost effective. Cook asked Johnson if there were storm doors and windows at Town and Campus Apartments. Johnson replied that there were no storm doors or windows; however, he felt that the use of drapes and weatherstripping around the doors met the requirements of the code. Smithey moved, and Owens seconded, that the case be continued for 60 days and that it be referred to the Housing Commission for clarification and that it would be the responsibility of the Housing Commission to gather any additional information and/or contact the City Council regarding this problem. The motion was approved unanimously. I' It was then moved and seconded that a continuance on the j Seville case be granted as per the wishes of Mr. Gillett. That motion was approved unanimously. Smithey left the meeting. Steinbach explained problems in providing the Council with Appeals Board minutes. He noted that corrections to the minutes should now take place on a more timely basis, however, the approval of the minutes would still take approximately 30 days due to the meeting schedule of the Board. Such minutes could not be presented to City Council members until approval by the Appeals Board. Steinbach also submitted to the Appeals Board members who were present, copies of an amended set of bylaws written as per the concerns of the Appeals Board members. It was decided that a discussion of the bylaws would be entered into the agenda of the next meeting and that each Board member would be supplied with a copy of the proposed bylaws.

CITY MANAGER'S CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: Blum, Lehman, Ogesen, Kamnermeyer, Vetter, Jakobsen, Lundquist STAFF PRESENT: Schmeiser, Kraft The Commission held a special meeting to review the new zoning ordinance and, in particular, provisions for an airport overlay zone. Members of the Airport Commission were in attendance. Mr. Robert Nemmers, Aviation Specialist for the Aeronautics Division of the Iowa Department of Transportation, presented a proposed "tall structure" ordinance for the Commission's consideration or to revise as the Commission felt appropriate. Mr. Nemmers explained that Chapter 329 of the Code of Iowa enabled cities to adopt zoning provisions for the control of the height of structures in and around airports. He further explained the various elevation "surfaces", including the primary surface, the transitional surface, the horizontal surface, the conial surface, and the approach surface; how they were derived; and that each represented a height plane limiting the height of structures in front of and to the sides of approaches to the airport runways. The Airport and Planning and Zoning Commissions resolved to work together in developing an "airport overlay zone" and to defer consideration of a zoning map plotting the overlay zones until after the airport master plan was developed and adopted. The Commission decided, however, that if the zoning ordinance were adopted first, the map presented by Mr. Nemmers should be adopted and subsequently amended if it were not consistent with the Airport Commission's and City Council's policies.
