or methods of reducing the population of young people in intitutionalized care. lie

preparing three options to present to the governor in terms of approach of reducing
the population. Jim outlined these particular options and at this point the task force
has not met since the consultant was hired. Their next meeting to comment on the
consultation will occur soon, as there is a December 15 initial report from the
consultant to the legislature. The task force will meet on December 4. Jim is optimistic

to negotiate for January. Jim indicated that there has been a change in personnel at
Center East and we wondered if there will be any conflict with the prayer service that
is now being held from 4:30 to 4:45 in the main room next to Synthesis. Perhaps it would
pose future problems. It was decided that m m:bers of the Board who are active on the
Center East Board would meet with Jim and with the administrators if Center East to

on the Board of Center Last would get together on Tuesday and discuss the possibility

by the Board concerning methods of increasing information in the credibility file.
Christmas Party — It was decided that December 17 from 6:00 to 9:30 p.m.here at U.A.Y.
would be a good time for the potluck and Christmas party for Board,staff,family anti

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Transportation: Hotka felt that transportation issues should be reviewed
continually. The Commissioners suggested a number of items to be looked
at:
- encourage a good load factor on the buses and promote steady year around
growth,
- railroad closings should be watched since the main railroad serving Iowa
City is one of those going bankrupt,
- raise bus fares during the winter months only,
- give free or reduced parking in the parking ramps for carpool autos
possibly only during winter,
- enforce downtown parking meters at night,
- require parking permit stickers costing for example $100 to be displayed
on any car parking on City streets where there are no parking meters -
possibly for nine months out of year,
- expand bus service to midnight Monday thru Thursday and to 2:00 A.M. on
Friday and Saturday nights,
- reorganize bus routes for night service,
- Police Department purchase compact and subcompact autos.
The Commissioners felt they should take up the transportation issues again
at the next meeting.
Community Liaison: Shepherd announced that he had become a member of the
Johnson County Solar Energy Association. Tinklenberg informed the
Commission that the Johnson County Solar Energy Association was offering a
Basic Solar Course at 7:00 P.M. on December 4 and 5. Again the
Commissioners suggested a number of items to be looked at:
- establish a list of Iowa City area organizations that the RCC can
communicate with on energy and either serve as a clearinghouse for their
newsletters or meet jointly with them
- give programs for energy conservation and aim them to specific audiences,
- get energy conservation experts in Iowa City together to promote the
exchange of ideas and information and to get their input on a community
wide energy conservation program.
OTHER BUSINESS
Uniform Building Code: Tinklenberg reported, in response to past RCC
inquiries, that the 1979 edition of the Uniform Building Code has
substantial changes from the 1976 edition. Also, the City presently has
only three copies of the Code: one at the Library, one at the City Clerk's
Office, and one at the Director of Housing and Inspection Services' Office.
Since the Code will not be adopted until June, 1980, Tinklenberg
recommended that the Commissioners check out the Library's copy for the
present period.
Home Energy Saver's Manual: Tinklenberg reported that the Iowa Energy
Policy Council would send 1000 copies to the RCC for distribution. Singer

MEMBERS ABSENT: None
STAFF PRESENT: Shaffer, Helling

RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL: None.
REQUESTS TO CITY MANAGER FOR INFORMATION AND STAFF ASSISTANCE: Request
resolution drawn up by Scholten and BTS.
MATTERS PENDING COMMISSION -COUNCIL DISPOSITION: None.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN:
The Broadband Telecommunications Commission had sent a letter to the Board of
Adjustment which included their findings regarding the proposed Hawkeye
CableVision tower site (this matter is before the Board of Adjustment who will
consider granting a special exception to the R1A zoning for the tower site).
Included in the letter were reasons why the special exception should be
seriously considered and granted if at all possible. A rejection of the special
exception would probably result in a delayed system activation date (possibly
beyond ordinance required March 28, 1980 deadline).
MEETING CALLED TO ORDER
Meeting called to order at 4:40 p.m.
MINUTES
Moved by Terry seconded by Eskin to approve minutes. Minutes approved 5-0.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Thursday, November 29th, Mr. Dididovich will be in Iowa City to give a lecture
on the International Visual Arts Package he is trying to establish involving
satellite hookups. Watch the Daily Iowan for meeting and lecture times.
Hawkeye proposed some changes in their channel lineup in a previous BTC meeting.
It was decided in a conversation between Roger Scholten, Drew Shaffer and Robert
Pepper that changes in Hawkeye's proposed channel lineup must be approved by the
City Council. Roger Scholten is drawing up an amendment to the ordinance that
would give BTC authority to approve small changes so that the Council will not
have to deal with every small detail that comes up involving cable and/or

access. Changes proposed by Hawkeye will be analyzed by the BTC and
recommendations will be given to the City Council at a later date.
Madsen, Eskin and Shaffer worked on a letter to the Board of Adjustment which
included the BTC's recommendations on the tower site special exception. This
letter was sent to Boothroy (Planning and Zoning staff) and Harris (Chairman of
the Board of Adjustment). Evidently all members of the Board of Adjustment did
not receive the letter so it will be sent again to Boothroy and each member of
the Board of Adjustment.
Boothroy of Planning and Zoning recommended that the special exception be
granted to Hawkeye CableVision.
No decision was reached on the special exception by the Board of Adjustment in
the November 7th meeting. This was a result of testimony received from citizens
who believe the special exception should not be granted on grounds of 1)
questionable tower safety, 2) surrounding property devaluation and 3)
aesthetics.
Blough of Hawkeye CableVision was asked to supply information addressing these
three points. The next Board of Adjustment meeting to take up these issues is
December 5th, 4:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers.
REPORT FROM HAWKEYE CABLEVISION
Blough reported that in an effort to comply with the Board of Adjustments
requests, the structural engineer who designed the tower to be used in Iowa City
will be flown into Iowa City for the next Board of Adjustment meeting, on
December 5th.
In addition an appraisers report has been obtained concerning the devaluation of
surrounding property.
Blough reported Boothroy has found the land in question near the tower site
could not have a sewer put in without the City putting in a water lift. (This
may be significant information regarding surrounding property value and
possible devaluation caused by a tower).
The current delays in tower site approval will mean a loss of three weeks to 30
days in Hawkeye's construction time table.
If the tower site is approved on December 5th the system activation date (March
28, 1980) should still be attainable.
Blough will file for other site approval from FAA in case the current proposed
site is rejected (in the hope of preventing more time losses).
Turnkey has been let to American Electronics Laboratories out of Lansburg,
Pennsylvania. Scientific Atlanta or RCA will get the contract for the head end
equipment.
The Board of Regents for the Universities will be deciding whether a hub site
can be located on the U of I campus shortly.

REPORT FROM SPECIALIST
Shaffer passed out three articles to BTC members concerning cable and access
programming ideas. Shaffer gave a one page report on the National Federation of
Local Cable Programmers conference in Chicago November 10th and 11th. A rough
draft of the BTS budget 1980-1981 was circulated to the BTC members for scrutiny
and comments. It was suggested by Terry to boost the travel budget. Shaffer
reported copies of Iowa City's RFP and ordinance were sent to Royal Oaks,
Michigan on request as they are now involved in a franchising process. Shaffer
also reported Senators Heinz and Hollings are proposing the creation of a
National Endowment for Children's Television (which could mean possible program
funds for Iowa City projects).

needs repair, and that he had the locks changed, 'fucker stated that he had checked'
the lease. He discussed the lease, the bills for remodeling, and the sub -leasing
request. He commented that the premises can't be re -rented until a "Forcible BSntry
& Detainer Action" is filed, a process taking approx. thirty days. Tucker suggested
that this action be started if, by the end of the week, there is no word from McCrebb's
attorney with regard to relinquishing the rights to the lease. He also commented that
repairs on the building could be made in the meantimee but the tennant would not be:

& betainer Action. Motion carried.
Tucker discussed past and present leases between E.K. Jones and the city of Iowa City,
relating to the Iowa City Flying Service and Jones as FBO, tie also discussed Jones'
agreements & contracts with the City concerning his position as Airport Manager. The
present lease originated on Oct. 3, 66, and covered 1966-76, with a ten year opyon for
renewal, which was taken. A separate management contract with Jones ran until July 20,
1978, at which time a new management contract was started. Tucker discussed wily and
how the lease came to be questioned; he quoted a letter to the Mayor and City Council
from Atty. Hayek, dated July 18, 1978. 'fucker commented on a letter he had written to
members or the IC'MAC, sugyonting that the !CMAC should negotiate problems, 11' any, wf ti:

of whether to have an op,_, or closed meeting. He also.as,...d if the Commission would
vote on this subject before the public comments were heart. Tucker replied that the
public could comment concerning the possibility of a closed session, but he oulAest.ed
that the Commisafon not vote at this time.
Pull commented that he was a member of the ICHAC when they discussed the renewal of
the luase, in question. Full said that lie could not fault Jones if' he was in the
wrong- that. Jones merely wanted to run a FBO. Full discussed the lease briefly, and
atatrd thatthe contract was being picked apart for nefarious purposes. He remarked
that,, as a businessman, Jones needs a long-term lease. Full commended Jones, and
stated that tie ought, to have a fair shake.
Bob Bautremont asked how legally binding this special meeting would be, if any IC'MAC
member was found to have a conflict of interest. Tucker replied thatthe question of
whether or not the lease is valid .would have to be decided by a court, not the 1CIMC.
He also commented that the lease with the ICFS is not void at this time.
Barker advised the ICMAC officially that, in his opinion, tonight's proceedings are
outside the law. He also requested that whatever votes are taken at this meeting
be recorded on individual ballot. Barker briefly discussed the possibility of a
closed sesslon,and reasons behind such an action. 'fucker again discussed his
suggestion for a closed session.
Stevens asked what would be gained by voiding the lease in question. Phipps replied
that. the City Attorney and the ICMAC attorney advised the Commission to look into
the matter. Huston commented on the cost of litigation, and asked the Commission
to consider this when deciding whether to look into the matter now, or in 1982.
Cleaves addressed the question of open/closed session. He cautioned the members of'
the Commission to act as responsible individuals, and said that the two main fointa
of the meeting should but Is the lease legal, and if not., what would be a fair,
workable lease.
Phipps closed the meeting tn nubllc input. Embree replied specifically to Gleaves &
Full & point 111 in the p1lotA' handout to (;ommiesion members. She commented that
appointed people try to do their best, and that she is sorry that the Commission's
integrity is being questioned. She also stated that she would like a legal lease.
General discussion followed. Tucker reiterated that the ICMAC can not decide
whether or not the lease is legal, merely if it is satisfactory to them. It is
legal until someone questions it. He suggested that the Commissions 1) determine
whether a problem exists 2) decide if the problem can be negotiated 3) decide whether
Legal action should be taken. General discussion followed.
