Gilbert Iowa city, Iowa Dear Mr. Chubb, Early. in February I spoke with Larry Wolf about the possibility of the City sponsoring a recreation program at Mark N this summer. Since there had been a urorxam like that two years ages I was left with the impressionthat this would be very possible. However, upon talking with Larrylastweek, I discovered that the City ma-: not be able to sponsor this program because Mark N is on private property.... recreation programs all take place on publically I understand that the City's summer sible to make an exception to this procedure. awned parks and that it may be impos However, I want to explain Why this request was initially made. Oriei.nally, .`lark IV was to be a residental area for people in the law-moderate in- come brackets. Perhaps for that reason, the isolated location of thecomplex and its distance from Iowa City may not have b-en thought of as presenting any difficulties for the residents. However, Mark TV became the housing-profect for people in the low income brackets. Currently the mean income of residents at Mark IV is 33,')50 and h5% of the families (110 families) earn less than $!11000 a year. - see why a 21 mile trip to the City's Recreation In light of this fact, it is easy to Center makes most of its proerams relatively inaccessible to a majority of the 350 financial difficulty of taking regular bus trips children who 1i e at Mark N. The is not the only transportation problem. The fact that, the City bus does not operate in the eveninP or on week-ends presents additional problems to chilar^n whose parents may work curinr those hours. Ninety-five o° the families at Mark I'' (38% of the households) are single-parent households. This means that for these families _there are not two people to shAre the responsibilities,for child care. As summer approaches with school vacation coming soon, it ''^ecomes more important than ever to have a comprehensive, adequate recreation program at Mark -IV- rlhile ark N is on private property, is a federally subsidized housing, program. This o' course does not nerate the fact that the ]and is owned by someone, but it property different from the usual privately o: does seem to make this ,private" esidental areas in T_owa City. Hhen•the City allayed this land to be zoned as a residental area it must have Leen aware the of _ fact that families with children would be living here. How- ever, neither the City nor the owner of the complex made any provision -for the recreational activities of those children. Thus there is no playground equip— ment here nor indeed is there any playground. There is no completed park or recreational facility within walling distance of the complex." The children are not allowed to play in the hallways of the buildings nor are they to play in the lawns. There is one small room in the Community Building which groups for quiet activities. may be used by The Mark P7 Co amenity Service Center does offer a recreation program for those children who live here. Children who live in the surrounding area are also en- couraged to participate. The Center is-a non—profit organization and has little money for the purchase of equipment, for transportation fees for trips in town, or for the hiring of staff to rum the various programs. Its activities are limited l•y these; factors. In a recent study of the Mark I',' community, 85% of the respondants indicated that they would be interested in sports, arts, being offered in the community. crafts, and other recreationalactivitiesI realize that all of these extenuating circumstances do not chance the Mark IV is located fact that on private property. I would appreciate the City's consideration of making an exception in this case. A city sponsored recreation program is greatly needed and Would be greatly appreciated.

First let us compliment you and this fine city on what has to be one of the most efficient and finest bus systems in the country. Having experienced both the Des Moines and Ames "mass transit systems", we - were at first apprehensive and later pleasantly surprised to find such an inexpensive means of transportation as an alternative to the car pool we had previously worked out. The transit system has recently been one of the first items we mention to friends when discussing Iowa City. Our current use of the bus system usually includes one round-trip apiece per day or a total of 24 fares per week. The increase-in rates over a one year time period amounts to S120. As a user of this system and as an Iowa City resident and voter, I feel that I should have some input into the operation and service of this system. Our interpretation of the council meeting is that there is over- whelmingresistance against the fare increase. it is easy to see how many people differ in how they feel extended service should be implemented. In fact, each person probably has his own ideas on how the system should be run. However, the solidarity behind the rejection of a fare increase is apparent. F.A:C.T. and other groups present offered viable alternatives to the fare increase which we feel that you must consider. Furthermore, we wish to remind you that an intelligent politician is one who is able to see beyond _today's needs and issues and realize the problems of the future. It is quite probably that the cost of z operation of .the bus system will continue to increase --perhaps at a higher rate than it is currently. However, the cost of private -- transportation will probably increase aportionately higher. A case in fact is ourselves. If we would have lived in Iowa City in 1971, it would 5e doubtful that we would have used the buses --perhaps on a fabricated convenience argument. At the present time, we could not afford to drive in nor would we want to. Raising our rates 66% will probably force many people to reevaluatethis position. However, I would predict that if fares were maintained at 15t, mass transit usage would continue to increase as people evaluate the economy of mass transit verses private transportation and choose the bus. An increase in service with a maintenance of the 15e rate would stand out as strong support for an economical, safe, and environ- mentally wise approach to transportation problems. It is upon this basis that we appeal to you to reconsider the presently proposed budget and rule against a rate increase. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Mr. b Mrs. Charles Schauberger JOHNSONCOUNTYBOARD OF SUPERVISORS COURT HOUSE. - - - - IOWA CITY. IOWA 52240 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PHONE: (319) 338-2321 - LORADA E. CI LEK RICHARD BARTEL - ROBERTJ.BURNS -- - March 11, 1975 Iowa City City Council Iowa City Iowa 52240 Dear Memberss It is the desire of the Board of Supervisors of Johnson County to bring to your attention the deteriorating condition of Melrose Ave. from 'lest High westerly to the city limits. The initial cost o: this road to the county was approximatly $40,000 per mile. This included new grade, 000 rolled stone one asph tic concrete maw For the cost of $15,000-209000 per mile the existurcture could be overlaid with a new 2" asphaltic concrete mat that will provide many years of additional service. A field examination of the county portion -of the road west of the city limits will indicate to the council what a resurface mat will accomplish. - Please bear in mind once again this serves all incoming traffic from the west, the City Land Fill, the County Home, and the Secondary Road Department.

The lowest common ltimately come up with a few 'Buyers locating enough prospects to u o ' A Practical Solution:- One of the strongest factors in favor of Iowa City sliving in large m the tremendous living pressure experienced by people urban centers.

Health and education facilities are outstanding, sports activities abound, taxes while high are lower than they are in larger cities, it -:takes five or ten minutes I ACCREDITED crare,a a ccrarca _ 6 1 or ceun.n PAGE 2 • • to get to work or class, the city issafeand a pleasant place to live, , property values are quite high, yet affordable, industrial development land is available at reasonable prices, transportation,.is excellent, the quality of labor is unusually high, and so forth. Intellectual atmosphere is relaxed, pleasant, yet stimulating. We can sell these benefits to industries by emphasizing the high quality of life available here in this community. Method of Promotion: - It is believed that the most efficient and least expensive procedure for telling our quality -of -life story is via the medium of a 132 minute, 16mm, color and sound television film. Background for Distribution of Film: First, commercial TV stations are strongly encouraged by the FCC to devote at least 20% of their schedule to public service telecasting. Most TY stations do not have the budget or staff to prepare this much' material for regular scheduling purposes. Second, -there are, in most stations, segments of time that remain unsold for one reason or another and the station must fill this time with something. These two important needs of the television stations are satisfied to;a great extent by the useofpublic service type films such as we are proposing. Such films' are offered by leading organizations such as General Motors, Dupont, American Dairy Institute, Sears Roebuck, state tourist boards and so forth. A film about Iowa City and its advantages fits beautifully into this pattern. Such films are shown by stations at no charge. Costs Normally a high quality film such as the one we envision would run about $50,000 to $75,000 depending on the talent required, location shooting, special sets, special effects, and so forth. on the 13'x -minute color - sound film we envision, there would be no special sets, no expensive - talent (unless donated), no location shots outside the city, no travel_ expense andno profit for the producer. The University of Iowa Department of Visual Aids has the technical competence to maze the movie, obtain -the directorial talent, the writers, sound dubs, musical scores and so forth. They will do this at an out-of-pocket cost of approximately $800 per minute of finished film. 13' minutes x $800 is $10,800. Allow- ing for cost over runs, I have budgeted at $12,000 for special effects we may wish to use. Once the film is finished, prints must be made. It is estimated that these films will cost $65 each, canned and in mailers and 75 prints would be required to circulate through television stations in the program described below, and leave a few spares for local use. Distribution Costs: The film should be distributed by Modern Talking Picture Service of New York City. They have six major film libraries across the country and are the best known film distributor in the country. Modern Talking Picture will catalog .the film, promoteitthrough other printed material and fliers, and through their regional .11m mcrchandinot.r� at a rust of t20 pgr, PAGE 3 • • commercial telecast. This includes the cost not -only _for promoting and merchandising the film with 6 regional'salesmen, but.also the cost of handling, the film, mailing it out, following it 'up to be_sure it is re- turned on time, cleaning, checking and repairing it if necessary, and storing it for the next mail out. They estimate the film we_are,planning will have 250 annual telecasts at a cost of approximately $4,000 and -that these telecasts will reach from between 81z to 9 million people nationally. Of these 250 telecasts, approximately 50 will be repeat showings for which- _____there_is-no charge so the budget is figured on 200 telecasts x $20 x`2 - years = $8,000. The other 50 repeat showings_ are gratis. In calculating costs for this type of venture it is generally assumed that the cost of the 'film and the necessary prints are an investment in "property" : Dist- ribution costs then become the figure used to calculate the cost per thousand. On this basis, if we have an audience of 83-2 million people, the cost per thousand to see this 13k minute film 'works out to 47t. This is a ridiculous) low - Y price. It is all the more attractive because the film is generally viewed for the 13k minutes, rather than the 30 or 60 second spot normally afforded by advertising. Thus we have'the attention of the audience much longer and we can tell them a more meaningful and logical story, with much greater emotional empact. There is absolutely no form of -- advertising or promotionwhich can reach low cost. so many people at such an absurdly,:' Life of the Film: Film life varies considerably. We have workedwiththe American Dental Association on films that are 12 years old and are completely out of _date yet they circulate to or near -capacity. Againj on a conservative basis in planning the film so that it does not become dated, a four to six year life is not at all unusal. In fact, it's conservative estimate. - Character of the Film: We envision a very high quality film with'an artistic, poetic quality about our community and the University. Remember we are trying to sell "the quality of life in Iowa City We don't need hard sell, we don't want hard sell, and in fact, it would be detrimental to our purposes. We want.to release people, expose -them to our quality of life, show them what it means to live and study without the pressures and frustrations of thebigcity, and our goal is to set a mood and atmosphere that will make them want to come here. Will it Work in our Context We need only a very minute degree of success to create a favorable pay out. If we can motivate an action audience of decision makers of only one-hundreth of one percent, we will be talking about 850 live prospects, managers, department heads, division heads, engineers, personnel people, plant location specialists, industrial real estate managers, and so forth. This figure is for each year. -PAGE 4 • • Other Possible Uses of Film: Additional prints could be purchased for $66 each for use throughout the state of Iowa and the bordering states or by service clubs, corresponding Chambers of Commerce, and similar organizations. More importantly, when we have an industrial development or commercial prospect for relocation in Iowa City, the film would serve as a very important tool to merchan- dise the advantages of our community to that prospect's executives and staff. In fact, the entire project would be economically favorable, for this project alone. Essentially, we will need to invest the following: Basic film cost (132 minutes): $12,000; 75 prints on reels in mailing cases: $5,000; 2 year distribution costs: $8,000= Total $25,000. Assum- ing we have the financial support, we would then work withtheUniversity of Iowa Department of Visual Aids to select,a script writer, a director, and producer who will supervise the details of the film. The script is the most important single element because we must have a Good script in order to produce -a good film.- The University has access to the type of writer we need and they have had experience with this type of quality film approach. Conclusion: In conclusion, this proposal is essentially an extraordinary value, very low risk in.nature, and it.has tremendous potential for our community. The approach is a sound one for which I have personally had considerable experience with very favorable results and for which documentation is available -for -your review. We do not know of any single possible promotion approach that is viable for Iowa City that could be -implemented for " anywhere near such a low cost, nor could it reach, anywhere near such a maximum potential at minimum cost.: Your large audience. The:plan-has support and approval is recommended. Sincerely, Richard M.

Based on the family income limits for HUD Leased Housing ' Program and FHA 236 Rent Supplement Program (1970), 4820 households are low income. -209 households are currently assisted in the Leased Housing Program and 248 additional households in the "236" Subsidized Program. Then 4355 (round figure) households are currently requiring assistance. Large Families include 120.5 -person households and 60 6 -or more person households who are low income, minus '30 who are currently assisted. A. 2. The number of low income elderly households is estimated Zn the following way: - I - 939 1 -person households have persons 65.years old and over; this represents.27% of the total number of 1 -person households (3488). _ 1885 1 -person households are low income. If we suppose that only 27% (percentage computed above) of the 1 -person elderly households are low income we -get 509 households. In addition, among the low income husband -wife families (in that case with an income under "$5,000)'there are 281 households whose-head--is-65 years-old-or-more.- The_result_of these._computations-.s�7.90--or. 800—i- -sound_ numbers. As 122 elderly householdsarein the Leased Housing Program and 20 in the "236 Subsidized Program, 660 households (round figures) are still requiring assistance_ B. No elderly or non -elderly households are expected to be displaced. C. 1. Between April 1970 and September 1974 the number of. - households has been increasing by 1261, i.e., 8.6% in 4X, years.or 1.9% per year. If. we apply this percentage (1.9%) to the 1970 number of i �• BRA F households (14766) we get 280 -households, -which represents ; the eventual increase in households for the next year. e -ill these households won't be in.the low income group.To get an estimated number of new low income households we can apply the following percentage: 32.6% which is the proportion of low income households in 1970. Then we 'get 91 households, which probably is an underestimation because the main growth in the population between 1970 - 1974 was in the 15-34 age group which includes mainly students with littleincome. i C. `2. Demographic comparison of the 1970 census and the 1974 special census has indicated that there is no net change • i expected in the elderly group. i,. {: * -.Last time this item will appear March 14, 1975 PENDING COUNCIL ITEMS Page 1 DATE o w w r vw I— DATE REFERRED DATE 2� COMMENTS/STATUS �m SUBJECT ow To DUE ��W a!
