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.

I for one, in my when way, hate to see Coralville_getting all the business, it has been Iowa City that made Coralville! firetr ucks, parks-and,.swimming_pools should be placed The n the list.

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. Jen Madsen 1 . MEMORANDUM 1 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.
