MEMORANDUM
-- DATE:- January 22, 1975
TO: All Department Heads; Chairperson, on; Iowa City Airport Commissi
Director, Iowa City Public Library
FROM: John Hayek, City Attorney
RE: Threatened claims and litigation involving the City of Iowa City
As a result of discussions that we have had with our liability
insurance carriers, I would like to remind you of the importance of
notifying the City Attorney's office of any threatened claims orlitigation
involving the City.
Please advise my office of any threatened claims or litigation.
I realize that itis impossible to define precisely the point at which a -
disputed matter becomes a threatened claim or lawsuit. However, my
suggestion would be to err on the side of notification in questionable
cases.That way, if we become aware of a matter which may develop
into a lawsuit or claim, we can notify our -liability insurance carriers'
if it is the type of claim covered by our insurance and/or make an
investigation of the facts ourselves in order to preserve necessary
evidence to protect the City's interest.

January 26, 1995
To Members of the Iowa City Council
I have read newspaper accounts and attended the one public
hearing in which the Housing and Community Development Act of
1'774 was discussed. I have not been deeply involved but I do
know you are deliberating this subject today and I would like
to raise these questions:
1) How dos the community steering committee proposals
relate to your own projected 5 year capitol improvement
plans?
- 2) Is It clear that these fundsareover and above the
grants and aids as of 1975 ..•... Or might there be a proppect
of cutbacks and thus a project once funded might suddenly be
without support. I say this not to be negative but to be
realistic as government funds are not endless.
3) The swimming pool proposal is good, but we must remember
there is no assurance that either a bond issue would pass nor
that the Board of Education would be able and willing to divert
the 21 mill levy to the pools (other building needs may have
priority Inviewof future of Central Junior High).
4) I seriously doubt the wisdom of either -a human
resources center nor a'children and family resources center.
It is time to movetogethervia theJohnson County Family
Services agency and not fragment our approaches.- The county `
certainly has a firm grasp of area needs and knowledge of
helps available._ Furthermore, human needs planner only seems
a duplication of existing approaches
5) _ We in this community, want some tangible results. We
are not apt to be Impressed with more studies, whether it be
on the use of the public library nor senior citizen needs. 61
ready the need for more low rent housing has been documented:
Why not proceed to meet that need?
6) 'I believe the city would be on very shaky ground to be-
come involved in the SEATS project We already have a major
concern in funding and serving via our own city transit system.
I further believe that night and Sunday service for senior
citizens might best be met through contracts with local taxis
whose service would be when and where needed.
Sincerely.

TO: Members of the City Council
' RE: FY 1976 Budget Briefing
' DATE: January 24, 1975
' Submitted herewith for your review and consideration is a summary of financial
data which is intended to provide an initial perspective for evaluating appropriation -'
requests from Departments and Boards and Commissions for Fiscal Year 1976. The report_
is divided into separate sections to provide: 1) charts and summary data of actual
and estimated expenditures for fiscal years 1974 and 1975 and pro-forma 1976; and
2): brief summaries of each functional area which includesfinancial as well as
narrative information. ..
In preparing this report certain assumptions were made regarding program changes
and capital outlay requests as follows:
A. No major capital outlay requests were included unless they had been approved.
in the Capital Improvements Program for FY 1976. Those that were proposed
' have been scheduled for consideration at the time for review of the current
5-year Program.
B. The proposed expenditures and estimated receipts for FY 1976 do not include '
estimates for implementing special, programs and projects now being considered,
but not yet approved, by the City Council. Specifically, these include:
]) Federal Aid Urban System projects for 'which only the `local matching
' share_has_been identified; 2) Mass Transit improvement projects;- 3)
Projects supported by "hold harmless" funds available from the Housing and
Community. Development Act of 1974. It is recommended that at the time these
1 projects arc finally approved amendments will be made to the operating and
capital budgets as appropriate.
Estimates to this date do not result in a balanced budget for the coming
' fiscal year. The trial balance indicates a projected deficit of $797,174 in the
General Fund. Combined with the need to provide a-reasonable working balance at
June 30, 1976, an adjustment in receipts and expenditures approximating $1,200,000
' will be required.
In addition to this document, this Department will be providing more information
' of an analytical nature during the next two weeks concerning specific items such as
Mass Transit, General Revenue Sharing, and Youth Programs. Projections of anticipated
future revenue sources, expenditure levels, and program' additions will also be
' The current schedule anticipates that Council deliberations on a proposed
provided:
' budget can be completed by February 12 in order that final estimates can be prepared '
prior to setting the Public Hearing on February 18, 1975.

The percentage of total
change column indicates the amount
of change
in receipts;
'
between FY 1975 and FY 1976 that
is attributable to each classification
of
receipts.
The 'property tax estimate reflects the actual collection of taxes
during the respective
fiscal years and not the amount levied as identified elsewhere
in this report.
During
the first six months of 1974
only $660,000 of the $2,622,000 in
-taxes levied
were
'
actually collected due to the
extended 18 month budget period.
The balance
of the
levy was collected during the
last six months of 1974, or the first
six months
of FY
1975, thereby distorting the
comparison.

COMMENTARY
This budget provides for the operations the City's Municipal Transit
System which
provides transit service on 10 basic routes, 13 hours per day, 6 days per week.-
Additional
'
peak hour service is provided during the winter months from January 1, through April 30.
Fifteen (15) transit coaches are owned by the City and are operated with the
assistance
of leased vehicles during the winter months to provide the increased service
indicated. .
This function relies on fare box collections at 15¢ per aide in addition to
property tax
support and $210,000 per year in General Revenue Sharing funds.
EffectiveJanuary20, 1975, three additional Maintenance Workers I were
transferred
to this division from the Equipment Division of the Department of Public Works
increasing
the total allocated to 29. This additional staff will provide for a higher
level of
maintenance on the operating equipment and will result in a major reduction
in the repairs
'
and maintenance expense. During FY 1976, no additional expansion of service
is anticipated r
in the amounts requested. However, it is anticipated that at such time as a
federal
grant application is approved for the acquisition of additional equipment a
budget for
'
expanded service will also be approved and the service implemented in this function at
theappropriatetime.

related expenses to 1) increase Library services available to the elderly, handicapped,
and others unable to come to the central building; 2) begin -an audio-visual de a_rtment in

relieve work load pressures in all _pdblic_service departments. The effect of this program
addition will be to add two more authorized positions to the staff, and to purchase
approximately $10,300 of additional vehicular and operating equipment. The major portion
of -the -increase in Personal Services is as a result of the recently negotiated contract
for employees. This function is supported by approxi -mately $64,000 in charges for
services, and other fees in addition to property tax. The Library Board is committed to
raising approximately $9,000 more annually from fines and this amount has-been budgeted.
