'I believe •.ve have secured such an individual in Neal Berlin. However; as he has alreadyei dle Che Manager vis a vis the Council, . specifying ahead in determining and of course, the Council still has to come to g the role of the departments, - s,ith the function of our boards and commissions. -2 - This may be the opportune time to comment on my philosophy of government, since it ties in so directly with discussions of new methods of operation. I have always had the opinion that the best way to arrive at decisions of government is to involve as many ideas as possible and collectively arrive at a -decision, knowing all along that the responsibility for making such decisions rests solely on the shoulders of the Cit? Council. No one possesses so much knowledge or wisdom that they can unilaterally make the one best decision.. Looking back over the year I stand firmly in this viewpoint.. In fact, since the departure of our City Manager and the consequent opening up of the system ,to more citizen input and to a renewed freedom and responsiveness of the staff and department heads, several decisions such as those affecting Ralston creek, the $2.5 million maintenance facility, the parking facility in urban renewal and the budget process, etc., have if not been modified, certainly been subject to a second look by the -Council. _I point these out to indicate to those who may long for more direction and authority resting in the hands of the City Manager, that in my opinion we were not making the best decisions under the previous method of operations. In last year's statement, I recited some of the specific issues before the Council in 1974. The intent was to present to the citizens a checklist of areas of concern. Reviewing last year's performance I would give the Council a mixed rating - afew projects were completed and some action was taken on almost every major issue, but on some issues little was achieved.' One lesson learned by this assessment, and one repeated over and over again with matters before the City Government, is the extremely longtime lag between identifying a problem and the resolution of it. For most of the major issues it tikes a considerable amount of time to secure the information and to review all po ::olhle alternatives. This could be the result of the enormity of the problems or it could be the result of bureaucracy of government. In the end, it probably is it combination of both. A checklist and progress report of items that appeared in last year's State of the City message: Summit Street et al rezoning - just approved by the Council. Riverfront Planning -currently under contract with a consultant. Housing - hopefully a hundred unit elderly housing project will be going up soon in downtown Iowa City. Ralston creek - more attention has been given to this issue this past year than in any - of the past few years, though unquestionably- much, much more needs to be done. Recycling - our paper pickup collection system ,was improved,although other" areas of recycling have not moved beyond the discussion stage. Implementation of the Capital Improvement Project Report- on balance the non -bond issues have been funded totally or partially; The Council still has to come to grips with the proposed bond issues. Urban Renewal - at this time no legal obstacles are in the way of preventing the project from moving ahead. pressures [o have Bus System [he Council retained the 1.5C fare against :strong p' Bu: incrc:am - to 25G. Also there has been a signific:anCimprovernent in the control of the ever increa :inq maintenance r pensr:,. I'herr were other issues listed last year which l am sorry to say have shown tances action is imminent. These include little progress, though in some ins Cable TV, Ploise ordinance, Landlord-tenant code, development of our existing park systems and activity in the grneral area of "social concerns" . One area that I pledged to take some action on is [o open up the budget process. This is being accomplished this year, though I am sure some will credit the new City Manager for this improvement. Still I must remind you that the Council hired a type of Manager that would accomplish just that. [ would also like to mention that the recent budget process has made the Council more aware of the need for a continuing effort to secure information on departmental activities, so that levels of performance can be determined and hence the Council can better evaluate the efficiency of city operations. Another matter that I have stressed throughout the year and that has produced. --results is that of removing most of the long standing items from our pending list. At this point in time, the City list of unfinished requests is at its lowest count since the system began. --major PIow to turn even further h --k in t i will try to skill my concerns today v�hen 1 ran for offira- morn than three year : •: go: Basically my are tier came as they were then l) Niake the Council more representative 2) Bridge the gap between the City arid the University -and 3) Open up the process of government.

At least there will be some pressure to insure that every- citizen's concern is acted on promptly and courteously. A word about the news MV(11,1. In the past there was much concern about the relationship between the city and the press. I would like to publicly thank the news media for their coverage of the activities of the City Council during the past year_ It is only with the full cooperation of the news media that the process of open government can he fully achlpvcd. People first have to be Informed before you can reasonably expect them to engage in meaningful discussions. Before closing this section on open government, I would like to answer the critics of this "open" process. Some citizens feel that the 'way .the Council should operate is for the members to make decisions based solely on what they think is best. The argument goes, "we elected you, now make your own decisions." As I stated earlier, I disagree that merely by running and getting elected to office enables someone to secure immediately the wisdom of Solomon You still need to consult with the citizens and gather from all possible sources, information and knowledge on the issues. Enough of the review process, let us now look to the future. Again there are three _specific areas I would like to focus on: 1) what structural or operational improvements would I recommend to make government more effective?, 2) how can we best improve --on our planning process? and 3) how can we make this a better community? With the new directions of our City government, there is a new emphasis on the decen- tralization of functions within the City. Certainly more discretion and autonomy within our departments is a welcomed change. Let me make it clear however that the rec:ponsibility of operating the functional departments of the City rests with the City Monager although the Council has to set the overriding policy_ In addition, the Council should assume the major responsibility of attempting to improve and encourage the full participation of the citizentry in-the-decisionsthat affect theme. Certainly a step forward resulted with the appointment of the Housing and Community Development Steering committee, composed of citizens previously with little contact with city officials. I for one, wish that this committee or a similar committee continue to function to provide us with constant contact with the low and moderate income population of the City. This is consistent with the policyofbecoming a more representative Council, especially in view of the fact that no member of the Council comes from that. economic strata. We need someone to monitor the distribution of over $2 million in funds over the next few years to insure that the social and physical needs of the people are met. In addition, just as it is the responsibility of our other boards and commission =_ members to insure that their areas of concern are adequately funded in the budget, so too should a social concern committee be responsible to insure that the Council _6- for the social needs of our rooriate-sum of money o Council as one never forgets to allocate an approll objective, I view Gity professional economically deprived citizens. a.s a p technical and p . provide which consists of elected officials, In the process is to,p element in a triumvirate, _ staff.' and citizens.

In addition to these problems the Council needs to be aware of the necessity of periodic update for any master plana An annual or biannual review of a comprehensive plan will require a considerable expenditure of money. he actions of future Another factor will be for this Council to anticipate t Councils. This Council will not be the decision making body that will implement the comprehensive plan and therefore needs to rely on future - elected officials to carry out the proposals. the charges of many citizens that it is primarily. The Council should be responsive to concerned with plans and not actions. Many people know full well that the Bauer park pian was not implemented, that parts of the Barthelomew zoning plan have been recently overturned by the Council, and that many plans of the City and regional olanning agency are merely gathering dust. They quite reasonably ask ,Why, more program the City is embarking on, must result -delays before acting? The planning in effective solutions to current problems in order to be acceptable to the majority of the community. I would like to conclude with what I think is the most important and servious deficiency in Iowa City. And that is a lack of community spirit. Most peopleo not look to city government to unify the varied elements within our city. People identif; themselves with the University and even a College ora department of the, Univ{ecsity. Others look at themselves as residents with long time ties to a particular neighborhood or church. What we need to do is loo's at ourselves as citizens of Iowa City, just as citizens of Galena, San Diego, Sioux City view themselves closely with what is going on in their community. This certainly fits into my ideall of more citizen awareness as to what we could all accomplish if we all work together. been a burst of joint Council — city activities, In the past few months, there has ers came about via members of the Council or some of which I had a hand in, oth" the community at large. To cite a few: the Blood Bank, the Aromosa panel discussion on bad checks, letters to employers asking assistance in city attairs, Special population involvement programs, Ralston creek action group, the Community Development and Housing committee, an International Students fair In the Mall, the recent fraternity collection of canned goods for needy individuals and finally the activities planned In conjunction with the Bicentennial are all functions directly involving the City and the Council. Much more however needs to be done. For example, consumer protection programs, and the Arts and Music activities can do much to identify the citizens with the local government. This e aware that this is more than a City government should attempt to make everyon' community in which to acquire an education. it is a viable, wonderfu almost to live, grow, raise a family, retire, work and enjoy life, Iowa City by everyone's evaluation, is a good city. The Council needs to use its influence and its expenditures to make this truly a community that can enrich the Well- being of its citizens. : 5D • RESOLUTION NO. - 75-27 RESOLUTION AMENDING4 SSET LEVIED ON A PORTION IL SUBDIVISION BY OF LOT TH PREVIOUS RESOLUTION NO. 74-56 WHEREAS, the City of Iowa City, by Resolution No. 74-56 passed and approved by the City Council on February 13, 1974, levied including an certain assessments against property in Iowa City, Iowa, assessment of $43, 498. 67 against the following described property: All of Lot Three (3), Ohls Subdivision lying northwesterly of the northwesterly right-of-way line of the First Avenue Realignment. y and Max Said property owned by Robert H.

Justification for Adjustments Location: The subject is in a better location than any of the comparables because of its proximity to the main east -west arterial as well as being _right outside the Central BusinessDistrict. Time:. The comparables have sales dates dating back from 4 to 9 years from the present. Downtown property has appreciated somewhat in that time, but not as much as the average, person is likely to believe. The Local Public Agency recently contracted to sell 11.5 acres at an average price of $4.42. This contract was executed in March, 1974. Size and Depth: Typically, the larger the -area, the lower -the -sales price per square foot. Comparables 26'and '27 are approximately 1.5 times the size of the subject. Hence the downward adjustment. Zoning: With the exception of comparable 28, which is in a C-2 zone, the other comparables are all in,R zones (R3B) which is more restrictive than the present and future zoning of the subject. Redevelopers Obligations: The redeveloper of a disposition parcel does not have the latitude that an investor of a private parcel is allowed.' He must submit pre- liminary plans for the development of the parcel and the land cannot be resold for a profit. For this reason a downward' adjustment of 5% will be made. Correlation of Conclusions Most weight will be given to comparables.26 and 28. Sales 25 and 27 are somewhat older and appear to be on the low side of the market.- Also to be considered in the final evaluation isthat3 of the 4_comparables were, and still are, residential tracts while the subject most likely will be commercial. One final consideration is the price to be paid by the - LPA for acquisition; $3.46 per square foot. It is not unreasonable to assume that one of the 3 likely prospective purchasers, Phillips 66, Lovetinsky or Miller, would be willing to pay somewhere near that price.
