Dear Mr. Wells and Members of the City Council:
Billie Hauber, City Forester, has directed me to
request your permission to plant two trees on the
parking of lot 77 Post Road, as an addition to the
Post Road planting plan approved in the spring of
1972.
We wish to plant one "Red Sunset" red maple
near the lot line of lots 76 and 77, and one
"Greenspire" linden on lot 77, 10 to 15 feet south
of the driveway. Both will be planted in accordance
with the regulations set forth in the Forestry
Ordinance 12584.
ks both trees are available for immediate
planting we would appreciate your issuing a planting
permit as soon as possible.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Kenneth Kinsey

2507 Potomac Drive
Iowa City, Iowa
June 5. 1974
I
I attended the meeting chaired by Mr. George Bonnett, May 21, 1974,
where the proposed Washington Park storm sewer project was presented.
This letter is to register my support for the proposed storm sewer
project in Washington Park and to indicate that I am reluctantly
willing to pay the assessment against my property if it comes to that.
My reasons for supporting this project are: (1) There is a need for
adequate storm sewers to handle that large volume of runoff that comes
down the street since the Buena Vista addition was put in. (2) There
is a problem with continual drainage from the property in the Buena Vista
addition. This was a problem prior to the building of the homes in that
area but was taken care of in 1970 when the City installed a tile and
grate into a small tile drain at the top of Potomac Drive. This drain
was destroyed when Harding Construction built a home there. (3) I like
to think that Washington Park is a first-class residential area and
accordingly I think it should have first class city facilities and services
including adequate storm sewers.
The whole concept behind urban planning and zoning is to enhance the
aggregate welfare of the population by preventing negative externalities
or spill-over effects. Allowing a developer to develop a hill like Buena
Vista without first requiring adequate storm sewers was a serious mistake
on the part of the City and a gross failure to protect the interests of
existing residents. We have gone through three years of water, mud,
and mossy streets as a result of failure to require storm sewers prior
to issuing Harding Construction a building permit.
We have had considerable cost and inconvenience as'a result of building
in Buena Vista and lack of storm sewers. The moss in the street caused
a fall by our youngest son when he slipped on it resulting in a concussion
and having to take him to Mercy Hospital for skull x-rays. Our other
son took a spill on his bicycle on mud and gravel which had washed down
the street from the construction site in Buena Vista and had a severely
skinned leg and knee. There have been a number of other falls and
spills by children in the neighborhood as well as the broken collarbone
by former City Public Works Director, Ralph Speer. In addition to this,
we have had to contend with mud,. and when it dried up, dust like a
country road. While the mud will soon be over with when the lawns of
the few remaining homes are in, the volume of water that comes down the
street during a storm is a hazard and unacceptable. The continual drain-
age down Potomac Drive is also unacceptable.
At the meeting of May 21, 19749 I detected a good deal of sentiment
against this project and frankly I think the probability of this project
being defeated is very great. I think this would be very unfortunate if
those who are in Buena Vista and those who do not abut this project and
who can see little direct benefit from it stop the project.
I think the storm sewer project should have been put in when the area
was first developed and the City failed to act in the interest of home
owners by not requiring this. It is always a shock to people to be con-
fronted with an additional public works project assessment. While you
can argue, as Mr. Bonnett did the other night, that they would have paid
for it in the price of their lets had it already been installed prior to
building, this may be false and I doubt that you could prove that the
groups in the affected Washington Park area paid less for lots than those
a couple of blocks to the north where storm sewers were installed.
Failure on the part of the City to have required storm sewers may well
only end up as additional profit to developers from the unsophisticated
buyer. These residents in such an area could well end up paying the
equivalent of twice for such improvements. Moreover, unless the City can
prove that properties in the Potomac Drive storm sewer area have a pro-
perty tax valuation less than comparable property in the Washington Park
area where storm sewers were put in, then we have been taxed excessively
for a number of years. Unless this can be proven to the contrary, then I
think the City has an obligation to cover the cost. In any event, I
think it is incumbant upon the City to see that this project goes through
either as a non -assessment project or a full -cost assessment project upon
property owners or something in between (some combination of assessment
and city -cost shared project).
Finally, I would offer an additional item for consideration by the City
Engineers. I think they should carefully examine whether there shouldn't
be a couple more properties on the south end of Washington Park Road
included in the drainage area. Also, I would like to see consideration
of an inlet in the middle of Potomac Drive. The back yards slope toward
Potomac from Mayfield and there is quite a bit of drainage that enters
Potomac between 2511 and 2513. An inlet here would be beneficial parti-
cularly in the winter to get water off the street and cut down ice build-
up.
I hope that you will see this project through in 1974.
Sincerely yours,
?erald-R. Barnard

Dear Mayor Czarnecki:
I am presently a member of the Iowa City River Front Commission
and have just completed the first year of my three-year term. I will be
on leave from the University from July of this year until September 1975
and will be on the West Coast during that period. I have checked with the
staff people who work with the Commission and with the Commission Chairman,
and it is our consensus opinion that the work of the Commission would be
furthered if I resigned my appointment forthwith. I therefore wish to
submit my resignation as of July 1, 1974. In this way a new person can be
appointed and can begin an active role with the Commission immediately.
I have greatly enjoyed my one year on the Commission, and it is my
observation that this agency is rapidly becoming a dynamic and important
unit of city government.
Sincerely,
_/Y - le,

Re: Request that the City Enforce Protective Covenants and Restrictions
in Oakwoods Addition Part 6
Mayor and Council Members:
At your meeting on June 4, 1974, you were presented with a
petition and request that the City take steps to enforce certain protective
covenants and restrictions in Oakwoods Addition Part 6. You asked me
for a report on the authority of the City to enforce private protective
covenants and restrictions.
I have reviewed the request and have reviewed the protective
covenants and restrictions. The protective covenants and restrictions
for this subdivision were recorded with the Recorder of Johnson County
on August 25, 1971. They appear to be relatively standard covenants for
" .. the mutual benefit of those persons who may purchase any of the lots
in said Oakwoods Addition Part 6... ". These covenants, as indicated,
are typical of the type of private protective covenants and restrictions
imposed on lots in subdivisions.
Covenants of this sort are for the benefit of persons who reside in
the subdivision. They are private covenants, that is to say imposed
privately by the subdivider of the property by recording the same with the
Recorder of the county. They are neither reviewed or approved by the
City of Iowa City or the State of Iowa. The subdeveloper is free to impose
any covenants and restrictions he or she wishes.
Under the law, covenants of this sort are for the mutual benefit of
property owners in the subdivision and may be enforced by a property
owner against any other property owner in the subdivision by appropriate
legal action in Court, including injunctive relief where necessary. Such
legal action is normally taken by the property owner or owners.
I am aware of no authority for the City of Iowa City, as a governmental
Honorable Mayor and
City Council of Iowa City - 2 - June 5, 1974
use, to enforce a private covenant or restriction. The City of Iowa City,
in my opinion, does not have any such authority and any effort by the City
to bring any legal action would result in dismissal of that action by the
courts.
It follows from the above generally accepted principles that the
building official of the City of Iowa City has no authority to refuse a
building permit on the grounds that a proposed improvement violates
restrictive covenants. If a proposed improvement is consistent with the
zoning, building and other codes and ordinances of the City of Iowa City
and the State of Iowa, the building official must issue the building permit.
In conclusion, it is my opinion that the City of Iowa City does not
have jurisdiction or authority to intervene in this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
e `"A

At the prrinont time thore is almost auianimoazn ngrcement i n f nv_or of reniwal

rar:t a:i th the pl.nnninp, concent and thc elements of the urban rcnFwal alas advocntc-c

pu) icly-financed parking rmmn hos generated great clanger of perm anent dirinivencnn
in tt,c: community unless so",rrachanism can be established for.significant: citizen
participation in tho planning process. We writire, to ask your help.
The problem that this community is facing now involves to real dichotomy of
urian developmental philocpphy that the City Councils soemi.n0 y, has been reluctant
to recognize and h:as attempted to minimize. Indeed, the history of the Council'r
actions, warrants the interpretation that they have reupondod chiefly to th,^ econor•,1ic
interests of those who would stand to profit from the constru-tion and subsequent
rental of the enterprise. The ordinary citizen han been virtually powerl^.r•n to
effectuate his concerns against those concentrated special interests.

Originally a multiple -developer plan in 1966, Iowa City urban rc:cwai vtLC t:ffc.('-
tively blocked for a considerable time by a conflict of interest suit bra.Y-rt. by
twenty businossnen. :he lani was never freely offered for sale, only sLccific pr_rc-cl-,.
for specific purposes, unsuccessfully. Proposals made by local busiressT:en to rebuild
or, sites in the area destroyed by fire were turned down. Finally, the pro;,c:ct seemed
to stop on demi center. In 1972, the Council decided to build apublicly-fiaenced.
T,rarking rr,ap downtown as an incentive, but a referendum on the issuance of general
obligation bonds to finance this ramp was defeated by a 7014 majority. A cubscquont
attempt by the City to finance a ramp through revenue bonding became subject to
l.itiration by to local civic group, resulting in a court ruling ,,1ai.nst t)r.: City.
Thin is procent•ly under appeal by the City.
Early in 1973, a local group formed the Old Capitol Business Center Corp:any to
promotes downtown renewal and joined with Meadow I.in):, Inc., "in the formr?t.ion of
a joint venture development team." From its inception, the City begs. .o d4-, assts
Inquiries from outside developers, and in October, Old Capitol. Associates fil!+d a
fo:r,.xJ prcposn] and :a cid for the purchan�.- afr,11 acres of urban renewal property on
which tits development 'could be built. A major element of this plan required two
r~unicipral parking structures: a 2 -level facility in the "University Ma11," another
-level ramp tat Iinn and Burlington Streets. Although not part of the plar., a tni--d.
r=p at lo-wa and Gilbert Streets was also suggested. Three ramps when one had been
rejected!
A tentative contract was signed by the City and Old Capitol Associates in Decenber,
1973, although the environmental. impact statement wa not received until later. lStcr
that the City Council was.in the confusinC position of "selling" the plan in a nericn
of public mcetirgs while negotiating with tho developer. Both the single-develover
and publicly-firztnced ramp concepts produced much local controvorry, r.uah of wi,ich
vre r:dneonstrued to represent opposition to urban renewrxl. itself. Citizon innut
went unheeded, and we quention whother our elected officials and the City ntaff have
been representing the citizonc adoquatoly in this matter.

C„pitol lr,::ocintcn hnd complied. with Choir part of tyre contrt+ct.
On March 28, 1974, the City hold the second refurrnd.um, as follows:
"Shall the City of Iowa
bonds in the r_rount of,
purpose of aiding; in the
an urban renewal project
City, Iowa, issue its general obligation
and not to exceed $0,000,000.00 for the
planning, undortakin-, and cnrrvinP out

With a record turn -out, the referendum failed to obtui.n a 60pl majority, as required
by Iowa law. The vote was 46% (with a majority vote in 17 of 25 precincts) nFainst
the proposal, and 54% in favor of the proposal.
The wording of the proponnl. implies an issue of acceptance or rejection of' the
financing of urban renewal, and while interpretations of the votinr, rosultn vary,
it, seems fairly clear that those who voted "No" were :Wninst municipal ramps anti/or
the method of financing, and/or the Old Capitol Associates' prepor;al. Some of' those
who voted "Yen" stated in subsequont Council meetings that they, too, were against
the single -developer concept and/or the method of financing the r7:x:ps, but wore
fearful that defeat of the proposal would destroy a decade of effort to achiove
downtown renewal, a threat proponents had used often during the campaign prr.cedi.ng
the referendum. •
However, the proponents of the Old Capitol proposal on the City Council and
staff are tending to interpret the 54%, "Yes" vote as a mandate to,thcra to proceed
with the Old Capitol plan and are looking for another way of financing the par)dng
facilities that does not require voter approval.
The contract with Old Capitol Associates, although still in effect, needs
renegotiating, and the City Council majority seems determined to do this in sni.to
of -the fact that several civic groups have asked the City Council to act u*) a
mechanism for citizen participation that car. reconcile diff+irencr_r, :Lnd rer-.11L in
a plan that in both generally ucceptuble and:-.practimble...The Cowrcil persists in
a7iherence to the single -developer concept rather than contiidering the developv.cnt
of a single plan open to competitive bidding by multiple developers.
There is such a distrust of citizen participation at this point that the Council,
warned by ISPIPG regarding Executive Sessions contrary to the Iowa State Open Meetings
Law, is considering a manoeuvre to sidestep this problem by having the City Man7>Pcr
meet individually for consultation with him. so that he may obtain the desired set
of negotiating positions in the privacy of his office.
We understand that in the last decade it has been the policy of many Federal
programs, including HUD, to ensure citizen participation in the development and
implementation of plans intended to benefit them. As we see it, our Council is
en6arcd in manipulating rules and proeoduroc to promote their concept of urban
development and is still laboring under the delusion that the opposition to their
can uo r.tormrolled, finessed, or simply worn down. We are persuaded that
/ill not happen and that Iowa City urban ronowal will remain in a state of
,until. a true forum for the complote, open discussion of alternatives can be
bl.i s hcd.
Perhaps the Council will come to realize this in time, as their attempts at
arripulation continue to run up against substantial citizen resistance, but we frI
o.xt our corrmnity could be spared considorable agony if HUD were able to provide
r, sueCusted procedure, and perhaps funds, for establishing the kind of planninf; forum
that would bring togother all of our various concerns for the future of Iowa City.
We now seem to be paralyzed in political impasse, and while we realize that H'JD
an a Federal agcncy may be reluctant to participate in what is ostensibly a local
affair, we have heard that HUD has had substantial experience with conflict resolution
in many cormunit•ic!s throre;hou.t the country and your1participation on this procedural
matter might be just the mechanism to move us into a healthy and much belated public -
meeting type discussion.
We urgently request HUD113 assistance in this case.

Enclosed is a copy of a letter from John Quarles, Jr.,
Deputy Administrator of the Environmental Protection
AF,^_ncy (E2A) to Richard H. Broun, the Departmental
Environmental Clearance Officer which outlines EPA's
envirocmiantal reservations concernin;; the Iowa City
Ucban Renevial Project in that the information presented
is inadequate for assessing the nature and dc;ree of
the noise and air quality impacts. We reco=end that
no further action on this project be taken which may
prcc?::c� the satisfactory resolution or. the issues
raised by EPA. In carrying this out, the- appropriate
field personnel should be in contact with EPA to discuss
and respond to the concerns raised by fir. Quarles' letter.
My staff has also reviewed the Final EIS and recom<,end
tent the following specific items be addressed -- as
well as thosa stated by EPA -- and should be issued as
an addendum to the Final EIS prior to any further action.
(See NUD Handbook 1390.1, Chapter II, 5.a.(9).):
1. NoLne
1.1. In order to adequately assess the
noise issue you need to provide
a site plan man(s)'and data showing:
(a) traffic (autos and truck) on
all major roadways as per Noise
Assessment Guidelines; and (b) loca-
tign of buildings relative to the
roadway.

We believe the HUD approval of the projected noise
exposure level needs clarification. our noise specialist-,,
categorizod the project according to E D noise standards and
deter lined the noise levels required the project to -be classified
as Discretionary-Norr:ally Unacceptable. E.ccor,-?i.ng to the Fun.
standards, approval of the project requires the use of noise
attenua.ulOn Measures. Consequently, HUD should provi(::e-a ----- -I
detailed discussion of the noise ah'ate.ment :.'easur_S 4:114ch Will
have to be installer', in order to obtein construction approval.
Our concern with the noise iy-LLpacts goes beyond tae need
for a &&tailed discussion of the noise a-atenent easu_�f?S.
Several revisions to the urban renewal project '?ave already
occurred, and zany of the project improve. i.ents ori yin; lly
scheduled for IKUD financial assistance have been assu.._ed by the
city. there is.no assurance that t:e residential devclo:^ent in
this project will not be si nlll arly handled. it is our viow
that the severitV of the noise i roalEn.i :dust be recognized,
irrc:.-,)ective of oimership of the residential devolop—cnt.
Emzphasis of the noise problcmi'is re`ced to preclude a
non -developer from ignoring the noise cxnosure
levels and'to assure the u;aC'.'ertaki.ng of aC:equate_ noise ahatc;:.ent
Measures. Unless this precaution is tat Fl, the result could
be a project which is enviramrentally .unacceptable and
detrLmental to the concept of urban_ renewal.
These comments reflect our concern with the Iova City Urban
ncne;•ral Project. Our staff stands read, to assist your agency
in obtaining the necessary revisions to the project. !-.e
believe these changes can be rade with a mint u7 of hardship
-and the project can go forward without 'unnecessary delay.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 3, 1974
TO: Ray S. Wells, City Manager
FROM: George R. Bonnett, Acting Director of Public Works
RE: Parking on Webster
In response to your Memorandum requesting analysis
of the parking in the 1900 block of Webster Street the
Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works
has established the following facts:
1. Webster Street runs north of Kirkwood Avenue for
a distance of 2'h blocks and dead ends at the Rock
Island Railroad.
2. Webster Street is 25 feet in width with a Portland
cement concrete surface in relatively good condition.
3. Parking is currently allowed on both sides of Webster
Street with rather intensive parking noted between
Page and Kirkwood.
In that Webster Street is only 25 feet in width,
removing two 8 foot parking lanes leaves only 8 feet which
is obviously inadequate for two way traffic. Recognizing
the Council policy pertaining to 25 foot streets, it would
be our recommendation that parking be removed from at
least one side of Webster Street to facilitate moving
traffic.
If you have any questions concerning this Memorandum
please don't hesitate to contact me.
City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 6, 1974
TO: Ray S. Wells, City Manager
FROM: George R. Bonnett, Acting Director of Public Works
RE: Parking Lot Adjacent to Oaknoll Drive
The City Council by Resolution 74-198 prohibited parking
on the west side of Oaknoll Drive between West Benton Street
and Oakcrest. As you will remember, there was a question
brought up by the Manager of the retirement home adjacent
to this street concerning whether or not the parking of
the apartments on the east side of Oaknoll Drive was placed
on municipal right-of-way.
Please be advised that the parking surface itself is
entirely upon private land and does not penetrate the public
right-of-way. I would estimate that to cut down the bank
and erect a 10 to 12 foot retaining wall would cost in the
neighborhood of $100 a lineal foot and it would be my opinion
that the cost would far outweigh the benefit.
If you have any questions concerning this Memorandum
please don't hesitate to contact me.

At our last Board of Education meeting, our Board went on record favoring the
establishment of a neighborhood park adjacent to Iielen Lemme Elementary School.
Further., if this site is designated as a neighborhood park, it is their re-
quest that the land he left in its virgin state in order that the school dis-
trict could use the land as an environmental laboratory for our students.
The Board of Education has reviewed the report entitled Neighborhood Park
Stu�y - East Side Area and hereby recommends that alternate lit be chosen for
the purpose of benefitting our students in the science education curricular
wren.
If I can be helpful in any way, please call upon me.

easy access to the modular units.
Moreover, the business increased
(luring the normally dull summer
season.
The shops occupy space in 18
framed modular structures built
in two sizes: 14' x 34' with a total
of 476 -sq ft; and 14' x 42' with
588 -sq ft. Those businesses re-
quiring larger space rented two of
the structures and joined them
together.
The city received three bids on
construction and placement of
the modular units. The low bid-
der, at $21.17 per sq ft, was Park
Fair, Inc., located near Iowa City.
The developer subcontracted
with Kalonial Industries, Inc., of
Kalona, Iowa, for construction of
the modules.
Iowa City Urban Renewal Direc-
tor John B. Klaus ruled out placing
the temporary structures on
cleared urban -renewal land. He
felt that using this land for the
temporary mall would thwart the
objective of disposing of the land
as quickly as possible.
72 • THE AMERICAN CITY / JUNE 1974
Lowest rent for shop space on
the mall is $4 per sq ft. Highest is
$5.50 per sq ft, on what is termed
a 100% corner. These rents will
make the temporary facility self-
supporting over the five-year
period that it will take to com-
plete the urban renewal project.
Cost breakdown
Total cost of the mall has run to
$257,400 divided as follows:
Construction and installation .... $198,00o
Utilities .....................................20, 000
Planters, plantings,
site improvements ..................10,000
Architectural fees ........................6,000
Contingencies ...........................23,400
Currently the temporary mall is
enjoying full occupancy and is re-
turning an annual rental of
$42,000. If this full occupancy
continues, the city would realize
$210,000 in rental income, or al-
most the full amount of the proj-
ect. Sale of the modules, after
three years, for other uses will
probably meet the balance of the
costs.
The modules comply with all of
Iowa City's building codes.
Plumbing is of copper and all
electrical wiring is in conduit.
The modules have another un-
usual advantage. They are mova-
ble, and the manufacturer has
provided a dolly capable of mov-
ing the double -wide building off
its site if needed. Thus, if a utility
breakdown takes place, a tractor
can move the building from two ft
to four ft so that repairs can be
made easily.
The first units were delivered in
December 1972, and full occu-
pancy was reached in May 1973.
Businesses located in the tempor-
ary mall include: a bookstore;
barbershop; candy and ice cream
shop; camping and outdoor cloth-
ing store; handcrafter leather
business; tavern; import shop;
record shop; stereophonic
equipment shop; and a loan
company. ..

"MARKETING URBAN RENAISSANCE" THEME FOR SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
The Sixth International Conference on Urban Transportation, scheduled in Pittsburgh, Pennsyl
vania (USA) from September 8 through 10 this year, will explore the many areas involved in
"Marketing Urban Renaissance" using today's methods and knowledge.
Speakers signed to date (see story, page 2) will discuss such varied subjects as The Consumers
View Point;" "The Norfolk Story;" "Downtown Real Estate Values;" and "Marketing Urban
Transportation."
U. S. Vice President Gerald Ford has expressed interest in attending and addressing the confer-
ence, as has Claude S. Brinegar, secretary of the U. S. Department of Transportation, one of the
three co-sponsors, reports Willard F. Rockwell, Jr., general conference chairman.
CONFERENCE TO BE MORE THAN "TRADE EVENT" REPORTS CHAIRMAN
Donald S. MacLeod, conference chairman for the Sixth International Conference on Urban
Transportation, has reported to the Pittsburgh Urban Transit Council that "this year's meeting
will be far more than the usual trade event.
"We are working to make this a truly international meeting of top experts
who are involved in all aspects of urban renaissance," MacLeod reported.
The Urban Transportation Conference, sponsored by the Pittsburgh Urban
Transit Council, the U. S. Department of Transportation, and the Trans-
portation Research Institute of Carnegie-Mellon University, has been held
in Pittsburgh since 1966. Conferees have included government, civic, busi-
ness, labor and academic leaders prominent in transportation, urban development and related
fields. Many top government officials have addressed past Conferences.
D. S. MacLeod
SIXTH CONFERENCE WILL BE INTERNATIONALIZED REPORTS PROGRAM COMMITTEE
Special emphasis is being placed on attracting speakers and attendees from many European and
® Asian countries, says George Jernstedt, program chairman. "We are currently in the midst of a
campaign to interest well-known urban leaders from London, Paris, Moscow, Stockholm, Gothen-
burg, Tehran, Munich, Athens, Seoul and Sapporo, in addition to representatives from North
and South America," Jernstedt reports.

THE PITTSBURGH SKYLINE, SITE OF INTERNATIONAL URBAN CONFERENCE
Pittsburgh, the Renaissance City of America, is located at the point where the Allegheny and
Monongahela Rivers meet to form the Ohio. The downtown area is shaped like a "Triangle" and
concentrates most of its office buildings, hotels, restaurants, business establishments and entertain-
ment centers in an area about one mile on each side of the Point. Since 1950, a total of 59 acres have
been redeveloped. The only old structure left standing is the Fort Pitt Blockhouse, last remnant of the
fort built by the British in 1764.
Metropolitan Pittsburgh has a population of 2,401,245, according to the latest census. The average
temperature is 74.3. The hottest month is July; the coldest is January.

MEMORANOUM
DATE: June 11, 1974
TO: Members of the City Council
FROM: Ray S. Wells, City Manager
RE: Pilot Newsprint Recycling Program
The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit in summary form the progress
of the City's newsprint recycling program during the initial two months of the
project.
Publicity
The following is a summary of the publicity efforts made by the City regard-
ing this project:
On March 27, 1974, preceding the first week of newsprint pickup, we purchased
an ad that ran on the front page of the Interstate Shopper. This ad included a
four-color map. The total cost of such an ad is $162.26.
News releases have been sent to all media each week since the inception of
the project. The Daily Iowan has published several of these rebases. They will
now be running a recycling reminder every Friday in the DI. The Press -Citizen ran
a few initial releases, then moved the recycling notices to its weekly Civic Calen-
dar; presently they are again printing the releases. Releases are also used by
both the news departments and community calendars of KXIC and WSUI.
FYI, the University of Iowa faculty and staff newsletter, printed a complete
rundown on recycling and the four districts (including the map) in its April 1 issue.
ISPIRG picked up about 500 of our fliers to distribute and made 13 posters
which were placed in locations throughout the City.
Although the School District informs us that they have a policy which pro-
hibits the distribution of non -school material by school children, we may wish to
pursue this avenue further. (The League of Women Voters was once allowed to dis-
tribute Urban Renewal meeting notices via the school children.)
In response to the frequent suggestion to use our water billing system as a
means of informing the public of our recycling project, there is a way this could
be done. This would involve printing the recycling information and map on the back
side of the water bill. Although the City is due to reorder blank bills, the new
supply will not arrive for at least three months, which coincides with the termina-
tion of the experimental phase of the project.
Direct mail has now increased to 6.1� per item up to a weight of 3.05 ounces.
This means that a mailing to all persons on the water billing list, mailed separate-
ly from the water bills, would cost $671 in postage alone.
Memo: Members of the City Council -2- June 11, 1974
Financial Status
The following is a summary of the financial results of the newsprint recycling
program for the months of April and May. Of major significance is the fact that the
amount of newsprint collected decreased from 36.8375 tons in April to 18.995 tons in
May, and the mill price per ton decreased from $45.00 to $35.00.

Summary
Attached for your information is a graph which plots the tons of newsprint
collected against time on a weekly, rather than monthly, basis. As indicated by this
graph and the above financial data, it is apparent that we are experiencing a drastic
reduction in both our tonnage and receipts.
Memo: Members of the City Council
-3-
11
June 11, 1974
Some of this decline in collection from April to May may be the result of
people saving their newspapers for months before the project began and then un-
loading them all in April. However, it is unlikely that this would account for
the entire decrease in tons of newsprint collected.
In order to attempt adjusting this situation, we could proceed with a more
intense publicity effort to provide information to the citizens. Use of volunteer
groups to leaflet neighborhoods is one possibility. Another possibility is to di-
rect mail notices of Saturday pickup to households. We must attempt to obtain
better citizen participation in this pilot project if it is to become a successful
program.
