1. The Ralston Creek problem has been aggravated since the last public
hearing and rejection of the ordinance by the Council.
2. For all practical purposes there has been inaction on this proaiu.
at the local, state and national level and it has been given low priority.
3. That the proposed ordinance is (although only one phase) in L:.i: Yc .Lc
interest relating to the Ralston Creek problem.
4. That at the time of the original public hearing inaccurate 1n44:orzuLi
was presented to persuade the Council not to adopt t;e ordinance.
5. That a public hearing on such an ordinance to allow presentation o:
the pro's and con's is in the public interest.
6. That the citizen proponents will present through representatives.
arguments at the public hearing for the adoption of the ordinance.

Request for deferral of final ok for Oak -woods Part VII
Reasons =hy Area Would Be Nice for a Park
1. rrea is centrally located in rapidly developing
residential area which has no planned parks,
open spaces, or holding areas.
2. It adjoins an elementary school grounds, plus
providing- an ideal nature study environment.
3. Drainage in this area drains into small creek,
which in turn drains into Ralston Creek south
of Friendship Street. Further urban development
of this nattiral watershed area is contrary to
advised erosion and flood control practices.
4. hrea has 60-80 year old oak trees and a variety
of native:plants,.shrubs, and wildflowers and
wild life co rm►on to a wooded environment.
5. Many residents would appreciate the availability
of a park within walking or biking distance.
6. The idea of a park in this area was brought to
the attention of.the City Council, the Parks and
Recreation-Commission,and the Planning and
Zoning Department about two years a^o. See

The;aezoning request and proposed, plat for Oakwoods
Part 6 raises two questions:,
1. How is the undeveloped land lyirl between the
present Oak"roods Part 3 and the proposed Oakwood
Part 6 to be used?
The City presently has on file no plans ror the
development of.this area. As a general rule,
"leap -frog" _development of this sort seemr, vera'
inappropriate. A better procedure would be to
approve the plans for the Oakwoods Part 6
development. only after a plan for the use of the
land between Oakwood s'Part 3 and the proposed
Oakwoods Part 6 has been made and approved.
2. What are the City's Plans .for a park or "open space,,
in the area north of- .Court Street and east of
liestminster. Street and <'Bovrlirg Green Place?
As yet no land has been designated for park
development --other than the Helen Le..u:;e play;round
However, as Oaknfrood s' Part 6 and other land in th i.^
area is developed there definitely will be a need
for additional local park facilities.
Our purpose in asking these two questions is nor to
oppose the proposed Oakwoods Part -6 development. Instead,
vre wish to sug est that the proposed, oakwoods developi-ent poin',
to a problem that deserves the immediate attention of the Cj;,_;.
This is the problem of providing adequate parr; _acilities for
the residential area that is rapidly developing no: til of Cau:~t
Street and _east of Westminster Street.
5=e also wish to suggest a solution to this problem;
namelv that the area between Oakwoods Part 3 and Oakwood -
Part 6(see the attached man) be developed as a nark-play.,round-
open space area. There are several reasons :•rny this seeMs to
be an appropriate- use. of the area:
1. It is the only wooded area in the area beLr:een
Rochester and Court Streets and Last of
M7
y
2. 1t adjoins,_a school ground.
3.. It is presently used as a park and recreation
area by a -'large number of people in the area,
4. It is populated with a variety of wrildlife
and is variable in both_ vegetation and 4errain.
It is therefore well 'suited to picnic:ring, hikin,7,
and nature. study, as well as playground activities;,
5. Our conversations with people who .etre familiar
with, the area have revealed a Preat deal of pt:hlic
support for_ a park. In addition, to better ',au -,e
the extent of support, we plan to circulate a
petition requesting that the area be developed
as a park.
Vie would like to.have comments on this proposal :turn
the City Council and other agencies of the City.

Dear Mayor Czarnecki
During the April 10th and 24th meetings of the Johnson
County Commission on Environmental Quality, concern
was expressed for the success of the newspaper recy-
cling program.
The Commission voted to recommend to the City Council
that more effort be devoted to informing the public
of the exact pickup routes, date of pickup for each
quadrant and the types of paper which will be accepted.
One method of assuring that households are informed of
the pickup date is to print notices on monthly water
bills. Although it is difficult to assess how' success-
ful it is at this point, the Commission feels that a
strong commitment to the recycling program is necessary
at the initial stages to insure its success. Hopefull'•
the necessary efforts will be made.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
une Kinney

Dear Ms. Goss:
At its May 14, 1974 meeting, the City Council of Iowa City officially
received and placed on file your correspondence requesting bicycles to be
used by the Veterans Hospital's phychiatric service. section 321.89 of
the Code of Iowa, 1973, provides that abandoned motor vehicles, which
includes bicycles,' which are collected by the police department must be
sold at public auction. The only exception to this is when a motor vehicle
is unfit for use upon.the highways; in which case it must be demolished or
sold as scrap_ Due to this provision in the State Code the City of Iowa
City is unable to provide bicycles abandoned and collected by our police
department for your organization.
Thank you for bringing this matter to the: attention of the City
Council. We regret that we are unable to meet your request.
Very truly yours,

DUBUQUE. IOWA 9 2 0 o t
May 8, 1979
Now that the legislature has adjourned it has become more apparent that there
is a need for the larger cities in Iowa to meet and assess the ramifications of
this last session and what the future may hold for all of us.
I have discussed with the Dubuque Council the possibility of such a meeting
to be hosted here in Dubuque during the month of July, preferably the 12th
and 13th, and the suggestion was met with unanimous approval.
No particular program has been established as of this date, but such subject
matters to be discussed could include land -use legislation, local option taxes,
and the development of much stronger influence in the league of municipalities.
This could give us. one day to attempt to develop some positions on State
legislation and leaving the following day to develop our Federal position,
particularly in the area of Community Development Funding.
Suggested guests would include the Governor, various legislators, Congressmen
and a Representative from the Office of Management and Budget.
Now that I have set forth a rough outline of the proposed program the question
remains, would you and members of, your Council be interested in attending such
a session, and if so,:are the dates acceptable. We would also like any comment
which you may have onithe _subject matter for the program. We would appreciate
hearing from you.in regard to these matters at your earliest convenience.
We hope that your reaction is favorable because we think that it is extremely
important that we begin to communicate our problems. It also would be an
extreme pleasure for the City. of Dubuque to act as your host for what we think
will be a very entertaining. and ,worthwhile, meeting.

\ A query addic
tnager, by
Jean M.'James;.1101.Kirkwood.Avenue. a
May "12, 1974
I note that widening of major streets in Iowa City is on
the list of capital improvements to be discussed at an open
meeting of the Council May 12.
The Council's position has consitLently`been in raver of
responding to the views of the eleC{�L,rate, or the citizens and
tax payers, if you prefer.I now ask the Council if any of the
citizens of Iowa City have,`by letter, by telephone, or by
personal appearance before the Council, requested that any of
these streets be widened?
Is there a public demand that these streets, Melrose,
Burlington,Kirkwood, and Benton, be widened?
Is it not the case that public comments and requests in
regard to these street widening, projects have been in oppositicn
to them?
Parenthetically, I have emitted Scott Boulevard. Here I am
not so sure, and do, in fact, wonder if a connection fro.:, 1 80
to Highway 6 via Scott Boulevard is not our last chance to
divert truck traffic from the urban area by sending it directly
to the industrialzones_ instead of through town.
I am sure that the troubled and,indeed, threatened, residents
of these streets would be .pleased to have the pavement kept in
good repair, buiiwidening is not in the best interests of those
parsons directly affected by the traffic flow.
I would like to suggest to the Council that the legitimate and
obvious requirements of truck traffic, and I mean semi -trucks here,
not delivery vans, could be adequately met by plotting out and
designating certain streets as truck routes. That is, numbered
highways and selected feeder streets.,By this means, the lost and
unwary truck driver will not, as one .did a few weeks ago, drive his
flat bed rig, loaded with structural steel and concrete reinforcing
rods,north over the Summit Street bridge, and then, astoundingly,
east on Court Street. I still wonder where on earth he was going.
Those ,of us ,tJho live 'on;;these streets., will never be benefite
by having them widened. We can only be harmed: The Council,
therefore, should not be surprised to find that this particular
project isnot regarded, as an- improvement intended to meet
popular demand and the requirements of public safety and
convenience, but rather as a menace, a threat to all of us
who have, I think, as much right as anyone to the enjoyment of
our homes in relative peace and security.

aB-BIE ST0LFUS
CITY CLERK
sigG N Gov if -,.M,
The steering committee of the Neighborhoods United Organization of
Iowa City urgently requests that the Iowa City City Council provide another
public meeting at which reactions of the citizens of Iowa City can be
expressed to the proposed Capital Improvements projects for the purpose
of assisting the City Council in setting priorities for these projects.
The citizens of Iowa City need more time to go over these projects.
It is obvious from the arrangement of several projects that a gen-
eral plan for -the city has been used by the city staff. The details of
this plan and the rationale behind each of the proposed projects should
be made available to the general public before a public meeting in order
that citizen input can be both relevant and worthwhile.
The steering committee of Neighborhoods United also wishes to indi-
cate to the council that some agreement can be expected in the near
future among the concerned citizens of Iowa City as to a mechanism for
more effective and relevant citizens input to the City Council. Neigh-
borhoods United wants to take this opportunity to thank Mr. White and
Mrs.-DeProsse for conducting two public meetings to explore some reactions
to the general topic of citizens' input. The preliminary statement of
the project COPE developed by the city of Cincinnati is certainly a step
in the desired direction. It is to be hoped that the rather negative
evaluation of this general activity expressed in a story in the Daily Iowan
for last Friday does not represent the views of either Mr. White or Mrs.
DePresse. It is suggested that the topic of capital improvments would
constitute a useful topic for a tryout of a mechanism of citizen input.

PROPOSED. P.ROJECTS .
`;1979
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM
The following two projects are to be added to the original list
Of proposed projects for the 1975 - 1979.Capital Improvements
Program dated April 30o,-1974.
AIRPORT
43-1 Airport T -Hangers $ 66,000
This project will provide for the
construction of a 10 -unit T -hanger
of pole construction with asphalt
aprons on two sides.
43-2 Asphalt Tie -Down Area Project $ 10,000
This project will provide for the
construction of additional hard
surface tie -down and parking areas
for 11 transient`. aircraft. This will
supplement the existing space for 8
aircraft.
The above two projects were recommended by Airport personnel for
accomplishment in 1975.
To the Iowa City City Council
May 13, 1976
On behalf of the concerned citizens of Iowa City who live on Burling-
ton and Muscatine streets, I urge you to provide for another public eeet-
ing on these projects in order to give the citizens directly involved in
these projects another opportunity to present their views to the City
Council. The call for a public meeting tonight has not given us time to
prepare our case to bring before you.
We would also like to know the general plan being used by the city
staff in proposing these several street widening projects and their
rationale for each one. This information is needed by all citizens of
Iowa City in order to form a reasoned judgment regardin� these several
projects.
Respectfully,

Faith Knowler,.President
Re: Capital Improvements Program
May 133 1974
The League of Women Voters of Johnson County welcomes the presentation of
the 1974 edition of the Capital Improvements Program.
This listing of projects which the.city staff has presented to the Council
provides -an opportunity_ for the public.to'express their views as to the de-
sirability or importance of "the various items: Although the lint contains a
wide variety of items it points up,the' fact that most of the city budget must
go for relatively fixedexpenses.
The C. I. P. appears as a list rather than as,a unified plan of development.
It is, however, a'step toward a comprehensive plan for the future of the city.
With such a comprehensive plan priorities would be more easily determined. The
League believes that the Council.is' of the desirability of having a com-
prehensive plan and is'' taking steps :to accomplish this.
In the absence of such a plan the League is hesitant to assign priorities to
the listed projects. _However there are certain proposals which we would like
to emphasize.
The Low Income Housing Project (20-1) tends to support a position long held by
'further
the League. Webelieve.that the community should assume part of the
responsibility for subsidizing such housing if other funds are not sufficient.
The Ralston Creek project (20 -2;', -add 44-14) is urgent and shodld be carried
forward without delay. We hope this long-standing problem can be solved by
the actions called for by these proposals. -
The items related to the R-14 Urban 'Renewal project should have high priority
in order to carry out the proposal _as;adopted by the City Council.
The League regards the:maintena.nce and expansion of the bus system to be of
great importance,,and we would give `a ligh priority to items 42-1 and 42-2
under Mass Transportation.
Under the Parks and Recreation proposals`we would like to stress the importance
of park land acquisition while suitable land is still available. We also
reiterate our concern regarding acquisition of land along the Iowa fiver, which
seems not to be provided for in the C. I. P.
The League appreciates this opportunity to express its views and to participate
in the process of decision-making. We hope thatinfuture years we will be
able to relate our evaluation of the C. I. P_. more specifically to a compre-
hensive plan.

REPORT _OF THE RULES COMMITTEE
ftimh 14., 1974
1. Board and Commis tion Appointment Process.
The importance of the process involved in the appoint-
ment of persons to boards .and commissions cannot be under-
estimated. Implementation of this Committee's earlier
recommendation on advertising vacancies has been a signif-
icant step. Some -refinements should now be possible. The
volume of interested individuals.has been accompanied by
some difficulty in council members being knowledgeable
regarding all of these individuals. Logistics and time
constraints make personal interviews with potential
members an impossible task.i However, some degree of
evaluation of motivation and interest could still be
accomplished.
It is recommende0that each applicant or interested
individual be asked to submit comments on: (1) the reasons
why she/he wishes to serve; (2) what contributions she/he
feels individually they can make; and (3) whatever thoughts
she/he has regardingthe role of the board or commission
for which interest is expressed. A concise form should be
prepared will all applicants will be asked to complete to
be used by the Council forreference in its deliberations
on appointments,`. -It is recommended that the form require
only brief biographical data. The City Clerk could forward
this form to ;the individuals upon receipt of any name and
they could, of course, be always available from the Clerk
or Council members. Distribution to civic organizations
would also be desirable._ Itis recommended that the Mayor
and the Rules Committee jointly develope such a form.
2. Records of Executive Sessions.
It istherecommendation of the Rules Committee that,
henceforth, all executive sessions of the City Council be

tape-recorded and that such recordings be retained in the
same fashion as.are regular'informal,and formal ceeL itis
of the Council. Recordings of executive sessionx could
be filed and retained by the City Clerk separate from the
recordings of other sessions and would not need to be
kept with records generally open to inspection.
The purpose for this recommedation is obviously co
eliminate any post -meeting doubt as to exactly what
transpired or was discussed in such sessions.
We would also like.to;remind the Council, the meirbers
of this Committee included,.of the need for precise
definition of the reason for an executive session. The
motion to go into executive session must be specific
enough so that the minutes make clear the items to be
discussed and the necessity for the executive session
in terms of the Iowa?public'meetings law.
Respectfully submitted this 14th day of may, 197-4.
