Accordingly, they are doing a'very preliminary investigation to determine whether the cost of such a construction project is less than the benefits. A -private consultant hired by the City will look into not -only this solution, but a number of other solutions such as clearing the floodway of homes: enlarging the channel and -others. '- • The only possible duplication that could occur is if the private - consultant determines that the plan being pursued by the -Soil Conservation Service isthebest plan for Iowa City -to pursue. Even this would not really constitute` duplication since I,believe the citizens will want to know how the Soil Conservation Service plan compares with other possible solutions in cost and desirability. The Ralston Creek Coordinating Committee -has the responsibility of - providingcitizen input not only into the Soil Conservation Service; plan, but into any other plans a private consultant may come up with. The most likely scenario I envision is the Soil Conservation Service and the Corps of Engineers dropping out of the picture because of lack of a benefit -cost ratio greater than one and the City being left 'as -the only entity pursuing a solution. While I hope this does not occur because of the extensive amount of money the Soil Conservation Service might contribute toward a solution, I believe it is a very definite reality. Additional information on the interrelationships between various agencies is contained in the Ralston Creek File in the section entitled "Forword". _If you, would like further explanation concerning the methodr in which a solution is being pursued on Ralston Creek, ,I will be happy to give a presentation on this subject. - r DISpost r y.iaw ion > r+',or- ell staff tram OUleC ci ty 'agencies experts [1'1'f)�L11 ii�ileiV�l aIle 11C� outside /t(lenn t+ve Ijispositton Methods ods -There • < • - :are no identical disposition parcels so too, Oqu'alllla.tion for-Rene�,vMActivivUnder Bloch Gr there is no ideal - disposition method for sl e_+(ra renewal pare Is But frequently, 7t+rod w 4 �R y . ..Y^� ,.. ..,�.. .. ,. c .,•-^ •"-" LI'„s` will. adopt one disposition nt use it for panels erornotit NERC recently COMPleted its h -if -minion- of,tihich ire avoidable and can beco:rectcd. to dc- and or.th is lh most appropriate far otic particular n_iiaa-wid uidy-of ilia-:ucbaa re- Reevalulion should be undertaken t!resc factors be oyer- -situation. diverse ttnentories o ferino term - , :.should o _m -coir nti»tan d. by the D or- meat Her. it and U ban Develop : ating.• and -. what -steps- or fundamental _. usually rely on several methods for different types Of Parcels-` , _.at(t!UU).

City of Iowa �ity RE: -Offices of Director of Public Safety and Chief of Police - Dear Neal: -- You have--askedme to comment upon the: possibility that the - municipal 'offices `of,Director of Public -Safety and Chief of Police: might be occupied by one person. This problem is multi -faceted -and my answer will., necessarily have to discuss the relationship among _ _ Chapter 2.18 of the .Municipal__Code,.Chapter -368ACode of Iowa :..(1973) __- and--Chapter400, Code-ofIowa'- (1975). - -- -- - - - My conclusion is that Chapter 2.18 of the Municipal Code, which chapter creates the 'office 'of Director of Public Safety, -is in all probability void because it conflicts with the applicable state law. 1. Section 2.18.3 of the Municipal Code authorizes the Police .Chief to assume the dutien_of the Director of Public Safety "in the event of .the absence of or inability to act of the Director...."._ There- fore if the Director's office were vacant, the Chief of Police could assume the duties of the Director until a new Director were appointed. 2. The Iowa City Director of Public Safety, acts in the same capacity as does'a Chief of Police within.the_contemplation of the Code of Iowa. The duties of the.Director of Public Safety as outlined in Chapter 2.18 of the Municipal Code bear a striking similarity to the duties of a Town `Marshall -as_outlined in Section 368A.17, Code` of Iowa (1973). section ,368A.17_provides in part: --- The Marshall shall be ex officio chief of police and may appoint one or more deputy marshalls, who may perform his duties, and who, in cities of 15,000 or -more popula- tion, shall be members of the police force. For Iowa City, -a--city of -more than 15,000 persons, Section - 368A.17, Code of Iowa (1973),seems- to -assume that our City; -Marshall, the head of our Police Department, will be called a Chief of Police. It appears to methatthere are substantial similarities in the duties of a Chief of Police as -that -term is defined in Section 368A.17, Code of Iowa -(1973)` and Section 2 18.2 of our Municipal Code.- Section 368A.1.7, Code -of Iowa -(1973) provides that the duties of a Chief of Police shall include; the "supervision and general 1■ -2 • April 10, 1975 Nealrlin ou force".

Neal Grlin -3-_ • !!: April 10,_1975 4. However, Section 365.13, Code of Iowa (1973) was amended and liberalized effective July 1, 1973;` for the'"amended text see Section 400.13, Code of Iowa (1975). There are now only two basic require- --. ments for a Chief of Police: a)-the person must be-appointed from -the - Chief's civil service eligible list; and b) the person must have had five years experience in a public law enforcement agency. . It-would-appearthatChapter 2.18 of the municipalCodeis-`still t in all probability void under State law because it does not provide for the appointment-of.-the Director of Public Safety from the Chief's civil service eligible list and it does not provide that the Director must - have had `five :.years :-experience -.in apublic .law ;enforcement ;agency. -= -` --Mr.David Epstein, the present Iowa City Director ofPublic:Safety, �- has had five years experience in the military police. The ,question ---- arises as to whether five pears experience in the militarypolice` - satisfies the requirement that the;. person must: have .had five years _ experience in a public law enforcement agency. That is to say, is " the-military-police a=public law enforcement agency? The annotations to Section 400.13, Code of Iowa (1975) are unhelp- `. -ful as to the meaning of the phrase-"public'-law enforcement agency". Therefore,' we must look to other 'sources to 'attempt to, establish some meaning for this term. Chapter BOB, Code of Iowa (1975), the Chapter establishing' the Iowa, Law Enforcement Academy, defines the 'term 'law enforcement officer as "an officer appointed by the stateconservation • - commission, .amember of a police force or other agency or department of ., - the state,. county or city :-regularly :employed ):as'such --and .-who is`respon- sible 'for the prevention and detection of'crime 'and the enforcement of -: - the criminal laws of this stated and all individuals, as determined - --by-:the.,.Council, who'by the nature of-their-.duties-may be`- required -:to r perform the duties of a peace "officer ". Section BOB.3(3), Code of Iowa (1975). While this section is silent with regard to the notion that a member of a Federal government department orpoliceforce might; be a law-enforcement officer, it should be noted that Section 808:13(5) allows the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy Council to "cooperate with Federal, State and local enforcement; agencies....". - Therefore, although Chapter 80B deals only with the State LawEnforcementAcademy, there seems to be no'suggestion-in-this'Chapter's definition of "law enforcement officer" that a Federal law enforcement officer could not.qualify as'a person having , "public -law . enforcement experience" within the meaning of Section ' 400.13, Code -of Iowa'(1975). _ The meaning of the term "public law enforcement agency" might also _ have some light shed upon it by focusing on the word "public"..-The con- verse'of "public",would ,most -likely --be "private". - A-private law enforce- ment agency might be something in the nature of a private detective service. It would. seem that the military police would: bemore in the nature of a public agency. We might also look to the U.S. Court Decision in Miranda • _Supreme v. Arizona, 384 U.B. 436(1965), for same erplanaticn of d ht t "3ar enforcement officer" might be.
