Re: Rights of Bicyclists at Intersections
Mayor and Council Members:
You requested a report concerning the right of way of bicyclists
at intersections.
A bicycle rider has the duty to yield to those vehicles approaching
on his right at an intersection_ and is entitled to the benefit of the right of
way from those approaching on his left. Mass v. Mesic, 142 N.W. 2d

Dear Mayor Zzarnecki:
Since 1967 I have been endeavoring to bring attention
to the concept of.a single, nationwide emergency telephone
number. Presently over 300 cities in the United States are
operating on a single, emergency number 11911." In some cases
Police, fire and medical emergencies are reported to that
number, in some cities other kinds of emergencies are included;
in some cities only one or more emergency systems are involved.
I am now in the process of trying to determine how well
the "911" system is working where it is being tried. I wonder
if you would assist me in this effort by answering a few
questions for me.
First, I would like to know how long your community has
operated on "911. Secondly, how many public safety agencies
are involved? I would also like to know what individuals,
organizations, stimulated the interest in "911" in your
community and who was actually responsible for implementing
"911" there. (To the'best ofyour ability I would like to
have this answered, although I realize that there has been an
interaction of.all.these influences in most cases.)
And finally I would appreciate knowing how effective
"911" has been in speeding up response to emergencies in your
community. If you'have`additional comments I would appreciate
receiving these as well. Since•I make.a fair number of speeches
on this subject and I am queried by newsmen, other members
of Congress a.s well as public officials throughout the
country, I would appreciate if you would indicate that the
information you send to me can be used for these purposes.

Gentlemen:
ARIA COOK 310
337-9609
Re: Combined Part I-II Loan and Grant Application, Second Amendatory
Contract, Urban Renewal Plan, and Notice of Public Hearing
City -University Project I, Iowa R-14, Iowa City, Iowa
I am an attorney-at-law admitted to practice in the State of Iowa.
As counsel for the City Council of the City of Iowa City (hereinafter
called the "Local Public Agency") in the above -identified project, my
opinion, including certain factual statements requested by the Department
of Housing and Urban Development, is as follows:
1. I have reviewed the Legal Information submitted on HUD form
HUD -6103 as part of the Survey and Planning Application of said Local
Public Agency, dated November 17, 1964; I have made an examination of
applicable State law and am of the opinion that since the date of the
submission of said Legal Information there has not been any court decision,
statutory or constitutional enactment, or any revision or amendment of
any State or local law requiring any change or supplementation of the
Legal Information submitted as aforesaid, and that the said Legal Infor-
mation as of the date of this opinion is, to the best of my knowledge and
belief, true and correct.
2. I have reviewed the Amendatory Loan and Grant Application,
dated June 5, 1974, and approved by the Local Public Agency on June 4,
1974, for Project No. Iowa R-14, including particularly the data and
information relating to (a) the size and character of the proposed project
area, (b) the proposed project, (c) the activities to be undertaken by the
Local Public Agency in carrying out the proposed project, and (d) the
proposed method of financing the project.
3. I have examined the amended Urban Renewal Plan prepared by
the City of Iowa City relating to the City -University project in the City of
Iowa City of County of Johnson, State of Iowa (hereinafter called the "Plan"),
which Plan is more specifically identified as follows:
City Council of Iowa City, Iowa - 2 -
June 21, 1974
A mimeographed document dated October, 1969, and amended
April, 1972, May, 1973, and September, 1973, entitled "City -
University, " consisting of 27 pages and two exhibits for the
project area in the aforementioned project, approved by the
governing body of the Local Public Agency on September 25, 1973,
and filed and available for public inspection in the office of the
City Clerk, located at the Civic Center in the City of Iowa City,
State of Iowa.
4. The Plan in form and substance is in accord with applicable
law and is a valid Plan, meeting all the requirements of State and local
law and Title I of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended., The Plan is
reasonably clear, definite, and unambiguous, and does not provide for
any illegal discriminatory action or illegal preferential action or require-
ment.
5. The territorial area covered by the Plan is within the
territorial jurisdiction of the Local Public Agency and conforms to all
legal requirements pertaining to the eligibility of such area for the above -
identified project; and such area under State and local law is legally
eligible and appropriate for the redevelopment and rehabilitation activities
contemplated under the Plan.
(a) The Plan includes all the provisions, drawings, maps,
documents, and other items required to be included pursuant
to State or local law and the applicable requirements of
Section 110(b) of said Housing Act.
(b) The Plan includes appropriate provisions describing the real
property which the Local Public Agency is to acquire, and
includes appropriate provisions for the imposition of the
controls and other requirements of the Plan upon all the real
property in the project area described in the Plan.
(c) The Plan is sufficiently complete to permit a determination
to be made as to whether it conforms to the general plan of
the community as a whole and to indicate its relationship to
definite local objectives respecting appropriate land uses,
improved traffic, improved public transportation, improved
utilities, and improved recreational and community facilities
in Iowa City, Iowa.
(d) The provisions in the Plan, respecting land uses, building
City Council of Iowa City, Iowa - 3 -
June 21, 1974
requirements and densities, land coverage, and other features
in the Plan are in accord with State and local law and the
requirements of Section 110(b) of said Housing Act.
(e) The provisions in the Plan for the vacation and dedication of
streets, parkways, and other public ways and for changes in
zoning or building codes and regulations are in accord with
State or local law, and the controls in the Plan respecting the
future use of the project area described therein are reasonably
clear and legally effective.
(f) The provisions in the Plan respecting the period of duration of
the Plan and the future changes in the Plan are legally adequate.
6. I am of the opinion that the Local Public Agency has been legally
created and is a duly organized and acting public body having the legal
power to undertake, carry out, and finance the project and project activities
described in the application in the manner set forth therein.
7. I am of the further opinion, on the basis of the data and infor-
mation submitted in support of the application:
(a) That the proposed project area meets the requirements of State
law, particularly Chapter 403 of the 1973 Code of Iowa, for
undertaking the proposed project activities and carrying out the
proposed project therein.
(b) That the proposed project area is, within the meaning of
Section 110(c) of Title I of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended,
a Category VII, "College, University or Hospital" project.
(c) That the project and project activities described in the
application are consistent with the Urban Renewal Plan which
has been prepared for the proposed project area.
8. The Plan has been approved by the City Council of the City of
Iowa City. I have examined a record of the official proceedings respecting
the latter approval. All public bodies, officials and agencies which, under
State or local law, are required to authorize or approve the Plan have done
so. A public hearing on the Plan has been held in the time, manner and
place required, following the giving of due notice to the appropriate parties,
all in accordance with law. Every public hearing required by law, including
any such hearing on the project (as distinguished from a public hearing, if
City Council of Iowa City, Iowa - 4 - June 21, 1974
any, on the Plan) under Section 105(d) of the Housing Act of 1949, as
amended, or under any other law, has been held in the time and the
manner and at the place required, following the giving of due notice to
the appropriate parties, all in accordance with law. Furthermore, all
the procedural requirements, approvals and other actions and formalities
required under State and local law to make the Plan legally effective have
been duly fulfilled and complied with as the case may be.
9. To my knowledge there is no pending or threatened litigation of
any kind concerning the Plan or the project to which it pertains, except
that your attention is drawn to the case of Laitner, et al. v. deProsse, et
al. now pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District
of Iowa in which the environmental review of Project Iowa R-14 is
questioned by plaintiffs. Plaintiffs in that case are seeking an injunction
against the Project. That case has, however, been continued and no
hearing date has been set.
10. I have examined the text of the notice of public hearing on the
project. This text meets all requirements of applicable Federal, State
and local law. It identifies the public body holding the hearing, identifies
the LPA as the agency undertaking the project, states the time, place, and
date of the hearing, states that any person or organization desiring to be
heard will be afforded any opportunity to be heard. The notice also
identifies the project area and states the purpose of the hearing in
accordance with applicable Federal regulations. A copy of the text of the
notice is attached to this opinion.
11. I have reviewed the LPA's publication of the notice and find that
it conforms to applicable Federal, State and local law, and that said notice
had been published at least once a week, for not less than 2 successive
weeks immediately prior to the date of the hearing, in at least one
newspaper of general circulation in the community, the first publication
being not less than 10 days prior to the date of the hearing.

DESCRIPTION OF SCULPTURE SITES
I. Civic Center Sculpture Site
The Civic Center Sculpture Site will be located in the Chauncey
Swan Plaza. The Plaza is located on the corner of Washington
and Gilbert Streets directly across from the Iowa City Civic
Center. The specific site location within the Chauncey Swan
area will be the area now occupied by the burned Kelley Cleaners
building. This area measures 58' wide by 80' deep on Gilbert
Street. The building will be dismantled and the area graded and
seeded in the near future. This area will eventually be the center
of a civic governmental building complex. The area surrounding
the proposed location is an attractive parking and plaza area. The
enclosed plot plan shows the location of the sculpture site within a
one half block area. The plaza area also shown is a grass and
flower bed area. Gilbert Street is a busy four lane concrete street.
Washington Street iscalso four lane and runs west to the city and
campus center three blocks away.
II. Urban Renewal Sculpture Site
The permanent site for this sculpture will be in the intersection
of College Street and Dubuque Street. Under the proposed urban
renewal plan, this intersection will be totally pedestrian oriented.
It will be bounded by a major department store, a hotel, office
buildings and a park. The area will be a major pedestrian walk-
ing and leisure area. An architectural rendition of the proposed
renewal area is enclosed.
Because this site will not be available immediately, this sculpture
must be able to be moved. The temporary location will be at the
corner of Dubuque and Iowa Avenue adjoining the Physics Building.
This area is a large level grassy area bounded by four to five story
University buildings on the east, north and west sides and by two to
three story church and retail business buildings. It is well traveled
in terms of both pedestrian and automobile traffic.

person shall refuse entry or access to any authorized representative of the City
Of Iowa City who requests entry for the aforementioned purposes, and who presents
appropriate credentials; nor shall any person obstruct, hamper or interfere with
any such inspection.
Section V. Emissions Prohibited. The following emissions shall be prohi-
bited:
(A) Visible Emissions.
1) A person shall not discharge into the outdoor atmosphere from any
single source of emission whatsoever any air contaminant which is (a)
® darker in shade than that designated as No. 1 on the Ringelmann smoke
Chart or (b) of such equivalent opacity as to obscure an observer's view
to a degree greater than does smoke designated as No. 1 on the Ringelmann
Smoke Chart: Provided however, that if a person can show to the satis-
faction of the Pollution Control Officer that an emission of air contam-
inants contains less than 0.10 pounds of particulate matter per 1,000
pounds of dry exhaust gas, adjusted to 12 per cent carbon dioxide (or 50
per cent excess air) for fuel -burning equipment or incinerators, this
limitation shall not apply.
2) Notwithstanding the exemptions mentioned in this subsection, visible
emissions existing at ground level past the lot line of the property on
which the source of the emissions is located are prohibited.
(B) Emission of Particulate Matter
1) No person shall cause, suffer, or allow to be emitted into the out-
door atmosphere from any fuel -burning equipment or premises, or to pass a
convenient measuring point near the stack outlet, particulate matter in
the flue gases to exceed 0.60 pound per 1,000,000 BTU heat input for install-
ations using less than ten million BTU per hour total input. For installa-
tions using greater than ten million BTU per hour total input, Figure 1 will
be used to determine the allowable particulate emission limitation.
2) The burning of refuse in fuel -burning equipment is prohibited except
in equipment from which no visible emissions in excess of that permitted by
subsection (A) of this section and no particulate matter in excess of that
permitted by subsection (B) of this section are emitted, and no odors arising
from the installation are observable beyond the premises on which the install-
ation is located.
3) No person shall cause, suffer, or allow to be emitted into the outdoor
atmosphere from any incinerator or premises, or to pass a convenient measur-
ing point near the stack outlet particulate matter to exceed 0.65 pound per
1000 pounds of the flue gas, adjusted to 12 per cent carbon dioxide (or 50
®
per cent excess air) and calculated as if no auxiliary fuel had been used,
for incinerators designed for burning up to 200 pounds of refuse per hour
or to exceed 0.30 pounds per 1000 pounds of flue gas, adjusted to 12 per
cent Carbon dioxide ;(or 50 per cent excess air) and calculated as if no
auxiliary fuel had been used, for incinerators designed for burning 200
or more pounds of refuse per hour. In no case shall the total discharge
of particulate matter in any one hour exceed 250 pounds.
4) The maximum allowable emission of particulate matter from any source
whatever except fuel -burning equipment and incinerators shall be determined
from Table 1. Where the process weight per hour falls between two values
in the table, the maximum weight discharged per hour shall be determined by
linear interpolation. When the process weight is in excess of 60,000 pounds
per hour, there shall not be discharged in any one hour from any source what-
soever particulate matter in excess of 0.066% of the process weight per hour.
5) Stack emission tests for particulate matter shall be undertaken by
generally recognized standards or methods of measurement. Methods found in
the A.S.M.E. Test Code for Dust Separating Apparatus, PTC 21-1941, the A.S.y.E.
Test Code for Determining Dust Concentrations in Gas Streams, PTC 27-1957,
and the Los Angeles County Source Testing Manual shall be used, but these may
be modified or adjusted by the Pollution Control Officer to suit specific
sampling conditions or needs based upon good practice, judgment and experience.
6) No person shall cause or permit any materials to be handled, trans-
ported, or stored in a manner which allows or may allow particulate matter
to become airborne. No person shall cause or permit a building or its appur-
tenances or a road to be constructed, altered, repaired or demolished without
taking reasonable precautions to prevent particulate matter from becoming
airborne.
® (C) Emissions of Gases, Vapors, and Odors
1) No person shall cause, suffer of allow any emissions of gases, vapors
or odors beyond the property line from which such emissions occur, to be
in sufficient quantities and of such characteristics and duration as is or
is likely to be injurious to the public welfare, to the health of human,
plant or animal life, or to property, or which interferes with the enjoy-
ment of life and property.
2) Detectable Odors emitted from the following sources of emission are
hereby declared to be objectionable per se:
a) Ammonia, bleaching powder or chlorine manufacture.

aa) Tar distillation or manufacture.
bb) Tar roofing or waterproofing manufacture.
cc) Any other air contaminant discharged into the open air
or a character and in quantity which is detrimental to
or endangers the public health.
3) No person shall use fuels the sulfur content of which exceeds
one per cent (1%) by weight.
4) In the absence of appropriate control measures no person shall
use products which, either by themselves or due to additives or impuri-
ties, result in air pollution.
(D) Open Burning
No person shall kindle an open fire in any public or private place
outside any building, with the following exceptions:
1) Open burning may be done under permit as follows:
a) Application for burning permits shall be on forms provided
by the Fire Department.
b) No permit shall be issued unless the issuing officer is
satisfied that:
i) there is no practical available alternate method for the
E
0
L
disposal of .the material to be burned;
ii) no hazardous condition will be created by such burning;
iii) no salvage operation by open burning will be conducted; and
iv) no leaves will be burned in those areas where provision is
made for public collection thereof.
c) Any permit issued may be limited by the imposition of conditions
to:
i) prevent the creation of smoke as prohibited by this ordinance; or
ii) protect property and the health, safety and comfort of per-
sons from the effects of the burning.
d) If it becomes apparent at any time to the Pollution Control
Officer that limitations need to be imposed for any of the reasons
stated in subsection c) above, the Pollution Control Officer or his
duly designated agent shall notify the permitee (in writing) and
any limitations so imposed shall be treated as conditions under
which the permit is issued.
2) Open fires may be set in performance of an official duty of any
public officer if the fire is necessary for one or more of the following
reasons or purposes:
i) for the prevention of a fire hazard which cannot be abated by
other means;
ii) for the instruction of public fire fighters or industrial
employees under supervision of the Fire Marshal; or
iii) for the protection of public health.
3) Fires may be used for the cooking of food, provided no smoke vio-
lation or other: nuisance is created.
4) Open fires may be set for recreational purposes, such as campfires,
provided no smoke violation or nuisance is created.
(E) Operation of Equipment
1) General
Any equipment that may produce air contaminants shall not be operated
or maintained in such a manner that a nuisance is created. Nothing in any
section of this ordinance relating to regulation of emission of air contam-
inants shall in any manner be construed as authorizing or permitting the
creation or maintenance of a nuisance.
(F) Malfunction of Equipment
Emissions exceeding any of the limits established in this section as a
direct result of unusual conditions in or malfunction of any incinerator or
any process, fuel -burning, or control equipment or related operating equip-
ment beyond the control of the person owning or operating such equipment shall
not be deemed to be in violation of this section, provided that the owner or
operator advises the Pollution Control Officer within 24 hours of the circum-
stances and outlines a corrective and preventive program acceptable to the
Pollution Control Officer.
(G) Circumvention Clause
No person shall build, erect, install, or use any article, equipment or
other contrivance the sole purpose of which is to dilute or conceal an
emission without resulting in a reduction in the total release of air con-
taminants into the atmosphere.
Section VI. Enforcement
(A) Whenever the Pollution Control Officer has reason to believe that
® a violation of any provision of this ordinance or a rule or regulation issued
pursuant thereto has occurred, it may cause written notice to be served upon
the alleged violator or violators. The notice shall specify the provision
of the ordinance, rule or regulation alleged to be violated, and the facts
alleged to constitute a violation thereof, and may order that the necessary
corrective action be taken within a reasonable time. Any such order shall
become final unless, no later than five (5) days after the date such order
is served, the person or persons named therein request in writing a hearing
before the City Council.
(B) After such hearing the Pollution Control Officer shall affirm,
modify, or rescind his order or issue an appropriate order or orders for
the prevention, abatement, or control of the air pollution involved. Such
order shall prescribe the date or dates by which the violation or violations
shall cease and may prescribe timetables for necessary action in preventing,
abating, or controlling the air pollution.
(C) Nothing in this ordinance shall prevent the Pollution Control
Officer from making efforts to obtain voluntary compliance throught warning,
conference or any other appropriate means.
Section VII. Emergency Procedure.
Notwithstanding the provision of this ordinance or any other provision
® of law, if the Pollution Control Officer finds that any person is causing or
contributing to air pollution and that such pollution creates an emergency
which requires immediate action to protect the public health or safety, he
shall order such person to reduce or discontinue immediately the air pollution
and such order shall be complied with immediately. Upon issuance of any such
order, the Pollution Control Officer, if requested by the person so ordered,
shall fix a time and place for a hearing before the City Council, such hearing
to be held within a_reasonable time thereafter. Not more than 24 hours after
the conclusion of such a hearing, and without adjournment thereof, the order
shall be affirmed, modified or set aside.
Section VIII. Exemptions.
(A) Any person responsible for any source of air contaminant may apply
to the Pollution Control Officer for an exemption or partial exemption from
the provisions of Section V. of this ordinance. The application shall be
accompanied by such information and data as the Pollution Control Officer
may require. The Pollution Control Officer may grant such exemption of
partial exemption if he finds that:
1) The discharges occuring or proposed to occur do not consti-
tute a danger to public health or safety; and
2) Compliance with the provisions of Section V. from which exemp-
tion is sought would produce serious hardship without equal or greater
benefits to the public
(B) No exemption or partial exemption shall be granted pursuant to
® this section except after public hearing on due notice or until the Pollution
Control officer has considered the relative interests of the applicant, other
owners of property likely to be affected by the discharges, and the general
public.
®
(C) No exemption or partial exemption issued pursuant to this section
shall beranted
g for a period to exceed one year, but any such exemption
or partial exemption may be renewed for like periods if no compliant has been
made and duly considered at a public hearing held by the City Council on
account thereof of if, after such complaint has been made and duly considered
at a public hearing held by the City Council on due notice, the City Council
finds that renewal is justified. No renewal shall be granted except on appli-
cation therefor. Any such application shall be made at least sixty (60)
days prior to the expiration of the exemption or partial exemption. Immed-
iately prior to making his application for renewal the applicant shall give
public notice of such application in accordance with the rules and regulations
of the Pollution Control Officer.. Any renewal granted pursuant to this sub-
section shall be on the same grounds and subject to the same limitations and
requirements as provided in subsection a) of this section.
Section IX. Hearings And Judicial Review.
(A) Any person aggrieved by any order of the Pollution Control officer
may have review thereof by a proceeding in the District Court.
I,
Section X. Penalties.
i
(A) Any person who violates any provision of this ordinance, or any
rule or regulation in force pursuant thereto shall be subject to a fine of
not to exceed $100 or 30 days in the Johnson County Jail. Each day of viola-
tion shall constitute a separate offense.
(B) Actionpursuant to subsection _(A) of this section shall not be a
bar to enforcement of this ordinance, rules and regulations in force pur-
suant thereto, and orders made pursuant to this ordinance, by injunction or
other appropriate remedy, and the Pollution Control Officer shall have the
power to institute and maintain in the name of the City of Iowa City any
and all such enforcement proceedings.
(C) Nothing in this ordinance shall be construed to abridge, limit or
otherwise impair the right of any person to damages or other relief on
account of injuries to persons or property and to maintain any action or other
appropriate proceeding therefor.
Section XI. Separability clause.

Transportation
Planning --
Status
Report, June
18, 1974
Purpose:
The purpose of this report is to describe the current status of
transportation planning and to project upcoming activities in the
final phase of the -Area Transportation Study.
Background
The Area Transportation Study began in the summer of 1970, ini-
tiating the first substantial transportation planning effort in
Johnson County. The focus of the ATS is on the urban portion of
the county. In 1970 and 1971, a Short Range Mass Transit Technical
Study was undertaken. The result of the transit study was to
design a new public transit system for the urban area. The recom-
mendationsof that study were essentially implemented in the form
of the Iowa City Transit System, augmented by the Coralville
Transit System which had been established two years earlier.
The Area Transportation Study is continuing at this time, expanded
approximately one year ago by the addition of a Long Range Mass
Transit Technical Study.
Participants
The participants in the study include four committees and three
consultants (plus the staff of the Regional Planning Commission).
The committee structure has previously been described elsewhere.
The consultants include:
1. The Iowa State flighwaZ Commission is responsible
for creating the technical asis for the study, primarily
in the form of origin -destination data, traffic counts,
and a mathematical computer model which will forecast
future travel patterns and future travel demand. The
computer model is also used to test alternative future
transportation plans generated in the study. The back-
ground data and the computer model have recently been
used to create the initial forecast of travel in the
year 1995. With this stage completed, work may now
begin on developing alternative plans.
0 Status Report, June 18, 1974 (Continued) Page 2
2. The private engineering consultant firm, De LeltW,
Cather, and Company, of Chicago, is responsible for
cTeveloping alternative street and highway plans, based
on the forecasts prepared by the Highway Commission
staff. (After developing alternative schemes to accomo-
date projected traffic, the Highway Commission will test
the alternatives.) Until the forecasts were prepared,
the De Leuw Cather firm has not been able to proceed
with its portion of the study.
3. The Institute of Urban and Regional Research at the
University o 'Iowa, is responsible tor developing alterna-
tive transit plans, also based on the travel forecasts
supplied by the Highway Commission's computer model. The
primary task of the transit element is to project various
modal splits in travel habits, to identify varying pro-
portions of persons using mass transit compared to personal
auto use, and to project the policies and costs which
would be necessary to achieve those alternative assumptions.
At this time, the Institute has completed three preliminary
reports dealing; with public attitudes on priorities for
transit improvements, alternative short-range investment
programs, and -a review of current local transit operations.
The focus of the Institute's work has been on the prepara-
of a short-range five-year development program which will
guide grant applications for federal assistance and which
will also achieve planning eligibility for such grant pro-
grams.
Micro Analysis of Central Area Traffic
In March, 1974, the Regional Planning Commission authroized a
special project for the transportation consultant, De Leuw, Cather
and Company, to perform a small area analysis of traffic impacts
related to the University Campus, the central business district,
and the adopted plan for redevelopment. The consultant firm has
submitted its findings in report form. That report is being
forwarded to the Commission and the relavent committees. Repre-
sentatives from De Leuw, Cather will be present to discuss this
micro analysis with the Transportation Committees on June 26, 1974
(tentatively at 4:00 p.m.).
Next Steps
With the completion of the background work by the Ioi.a Highway
Commission, the effort will now be accelerated in the area of
plan development. A meeting of the consultants is scheduled for
June 26 and 27 to discuss the details of their interaction during
this important phase of the study.

Status Report, June -18, 1.974 (Continued) Page 3
Tho staff of the Regional Planning Commission will serve a coordi-
nation role, and assist the interaction of committees 3s they
become actively involved in the planning process. In addition,
the staff has a direct planning responsibility for some portions
of the study. One of these areas involves measuring the transpor-
tation needs of local employers. The staff has recently completed
and distributed a survey of all employers in Johnson County,
obtaining data on employee types, residence locations, and trans-
portation needs. The responses to these surveys are now being
returned to the Commission. The analysis of the survey will
identify policy alternatives and feasible transportation programs
such as car pooling, staggering of work hours, transit promotion,
etc. for the purpose of alleviating demands on present systems.
Timetable
It is estimated that the final phase of this transportation planning
process will be completed within six months, such that the trans-
portation committees will have forwarded their recommendations on a
future transportation plan to the Regional Planning Commission for
consideration and action. Beyond that phase, there will be a
continuing planning process involving the implementation, monitoring,
and periodic updating of the transportation plan.

Mr. Robert Hilgenberg, Executive Director
Johnson County Regional Planning Commission 3`' •i CO; ^IGIONAL
22-1/2 South Dubuque Street JUN 1 4 1S14
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
___pJ_ANN1N6 COtdiA(SSION
Dear Mr. Hilgenberg:
This letter summarizes the results of a Micro Analysis of
East -Side central area traffic in accordance with your Work Order
#1, dated March 8, 1974. The East -Side central area is generally
bounded by the Iowa River, Market Street, Van Buren Street and
Court Street. Contents of our April 23, 1974 summary have been
expanded to cover items requested in your June 7, 1974 correspon-
dence.
The principal thrust of the study was to examine the effects
the current urban renewal development plan would have on down-
town traffic patterns. Modifications in the University's Library
lot parking were to be studied. Expected relief or reductions in
traffic demands due to potential increased transit patronage also
were to be examined.
Basic Travel Data
The following travel information was used as a basis for
examining various travel patterns within the study area:
Iowa State Highway Commission assignment Trip Table
4A --portraying 1970 vehicle tripe between zones on the
existing highway network. Of particular use were the
trips to Zone 3 which, excluding block 91, coincide
with the major area of planned redevelopment. For
study purposes, Zone 3 less block 91 is referred to as
the "core". Vehicle trips to and from the core by esti-
mated route approach are shown on Figure 1.
Land use by block within the core for the year 1970 and
assuming full redevelopment. See Table 1.
DE LEU W,
CAT H E R Sa M PA,?
_L_
Daily vehicular trip generation rates for various land use
categories based on previous land use trip generation study
data. See Table 2.
Traffic volume data on streets approximating 1971 travel
from both Iowa City and Iowa State Highway Commission.
An estimate of 1971 average daily traffic based on the
available count data is shown on flow map A. The volumes
are representative of conditions prior to the improved bus
service instituted by the Iowa City Bus Company and Cam -
bus (University Shuttle Bus System) in September 1971.
. Available bus ridership data.
. A January 1, 1974 Iowa City parking inventory.
Traffic Estimates
Estimates were made of traffic flow on the downtown streets
under progressive closures of segments of the street system. The
volumes represent 1970-71 levels of traffic assuming full redevel-
opment of the core in accordance with urban renewal plans. Vehic-
ular trips generated by the core (1970 Iowa State Highway Commission
Trip Table 4A) were deducted from the traffic volumes on the street
system and vehicular trips generated by redeveloped core (estimated
from land use trip generation factors) were added. Traffic volumes
representing 18, 600 vehicle trips generated by the core in 1970 were
deducted from the street system and 27, 200 vehicle trips generated
by the redeveloped core were added to the street system. Both core
and non-core oriented traffic was rerouted under the various street
closures.
The effects on vehicular travel due to the improved transit
service instituted in September 1971 by the Iowa City bus system
and Cambus were not reflected in the traffic estimates. Approxi-
mations of the expected reductions in traffic are discussed later
under the section on Transit.
Traffic volumes under various street closures are shown on
flow maps B through E representing the following street modifica-
tions:
B. Dubuque, College and Court Streets closed (basic street
closure).
DE LEUW,
CATH ER
C. Basic streets plus Washington Street closed (between
Madison Street and Clinton Street).
D. Basic streets and Washington Street plus Madison Street
closed (between Burlington Street and Iowa Avenue). Ac-
cess to the Library parking lot was assumed to be attain-
able via entrance roads to both Iowa Avenue and Burlington
Street for analysis purposes. Access shown to Iowa Ave-
nue is not a University proposal and may be impractical.
E. All of the above streets closed and a capacity restriction
on Clinton Street between Washington Street and Burling-
ton Street. It was assumed that only motorists bound to
and from the core area would use Clinton Street between
Washington and Burlington Streets. An estimated 13, 000
non-core oriented vehicles using Clinton Street under Sys-
tem D were rerouted.
Two alternatives for accommodating University traffic bound
to and from the Library parking lot and on -street parking on Wash-
ington Street south of Madison Street were also examined. They
were:
1. Routing all traffic bound for this area via a single en-
trance on Burlington Street --either at Madison Street
or Front Street (adjacent to the railroad tracks).
2. Closure of the Library parking lot and relocation of
those parking spaces to an area south of Burlington
Street and east of Madison Street. For study pur-
poses this parking was relocated to the general area
bounded by Court, Capitol, Prentiss and Madison
Streets. A shuttle bus service was assumed to carry
persons to and from the relocated parking area and
their desired campus destinations in the vicinity of
the Library lot.
An estimated 5, 000 vehicles per day entered and departed the
Library lot area via Washington Street in 1971. Parking in this area
was expected to accommodate an additional demand approximating
4, 000 vehicle trips per day with full redevelopment of the core --in-
cluding additions by the University to Block 92.
Flow map F portrays the significant traffic volume changes
on the street system expected if all access to the Library lot area
were via Burlington Street rather than both Iowa Avenue and Bur-
lington Street as shown in flow map E.
Flow map G indicates the estimated traffic volumes on the
downtown street system with the parking demand in the Library
lot area relocated southeasterly of Burlington and Madison Streets.
Capacity
Capacity was estimated on the basis of existing street widths
or those anticipated under the redevelopment plan or currently planned
to be reconstructed. Three intersections with Burlington Street --at
Clinton, Lynn and Gilbert Streets --appear critical from the stand-
point of capacity. All three, however, are believed capable of afford-
ing Level of Service D to the traffic volumes expected under Scheme E
(all proposed streets closed and capacity restraint on Clinton Street)
and Scheme G (with Library lot area parking relocated). Level of
Service D is somewhat. less than desirable but quite often acceptable
in downtown areas. A description of operations under various levels
of service is shown in Appendix A.
Scheme F --wherein all access to the Library lot area would be
via Burlington Street --creates the largest traffic demands on Burling-
ton Street and operations at a lower level of service would be expected
at the three intersections. The Clinton Street intersection would af-
ford Level of Service E, while the Lynn Street and Gilbert Street inter-
sections would operate between Levels of Service D and E. Relocating
the Library parking lot south of the core (Scheme G) affords two advan-
tages --roughly 3, 000 University -oriented vehicles would be eliminated
from the core area streets (entering and leaving from the south) and
traffic from the north and east would use Court Street rather than
Burlington Street as access to the parking area.
Transit
The relative impact of transit use on traffic was examined by
relating the movements of persons in either a bus or non -transit
vehicle crossing the streets on a cordon line around the central area.
Based on the 1970 Trip Table 4A, it is roughly estimated that 60, 000
vehicles per day are bound to and from the central area. Traffic
volumes at the cordon line approximated 120, 000 vehicles per day in
1971. Therefore, 30, 000 vehicles per day would pass through the
central area (each vehicle crossing the cordon line twice). If on
the average 1. 2 persons were riding in the vehicles, 72, 000 person
D•E LEUW,
trips would be made to and from the central area and 36, 000 person
trips would pass through the central area. Based on a transit survey
made in April 1974, the following transit ridership characteristics
were assumed as representative of travel in the central area:
Forty percent of the riders on the municipal bus systems
(Iowa City and Coralville) travel to and from the central
area.
Twenty percent of the riders on the municipal bus systems
travel through the central area.
Cambus initially shifted 1, 000 central area oriented person
trips from auto to bus.
Three levels of transit use would account for the following daily
ridership in the central area as well as total daily ridership on the
municipal transit systems.
*-Includes 1, 000 person trips shifted from auto to Cambus.
**-Includes Z. 000 person trips shifted from auto to Cambus.
Riders bound to and from the central area approximate one
percent, five percent, and ten percent, respectively, of the total
72, 000 person trips bound to and from the central area under the
three levels of transit use. At transit use Level 2 (poet -September
1971), a reduction in the 120, 000 daily cordon line traffic volumes
of about 4, 000, or 3. 3 percent, would be expected. Level 3 transit
use (double post -September 1971) would reduce the daily traffic vol-
umes about 9, 200, or 7. 7 percent. It should be noted that these per-
centages pertain to all trips to the central area as well as trips through
the central area, whereas earlier estimates by the Regional Planning
Commission staff made comparisons to central area -oriented trips only.

DE LEUW,
Peak hour reductions of traffic volumes, wherein the transit
ridership is estimated to comprise about 18 percent of the daily
ridership, would be about six percent at Level 2 transit use and
about 14 percent at Level 3 transit use.
For comparison of order -of -magnitude traffic reductions, it
should be noted that car pooling affords significant leverage. Rais -
ing the average auto ridership 0. 1 person per vehicle, say from 1. 2
to 1. 3, would reduce traffic volumes more than eight percent. An
increase of 0.2 person per vehicle would reduce traffic about 17 per-
cent.
Parking
Based on parking inventory data and aerial photographs, an
approximation of the parking spaces available within the core at the
pre -redevelopment period (1970-71) was made. Parking spaces an-
ticipated to be available under full redevelopment were also approxi-
mated. A net increase of about 1, 230 spaces, or an 88 percent in-
crease was envisioned. The pre- and post -redevelopment parking
space estimates are listed below by block (including Block 91 which
is outside the core area).

The daily vehicular trips generated by this same area (core
plus Block 91) were estimated to increase from 22,400 to 30, 800,
or about 38 percent. It is expected that increased parking in the
redeveloped core would support parking demand previously ful-
filled outside this area.
Conclusions
The planned urban renewal development of the downtown core
area, together with all envisioned street closures could be imple-
mented without creating undue traffic problems. Relocating the
DE
Library lot area parking would be desirable from the standpoint of
traffic demands.
The development of attractive land use and environment --
with extended auto -free or pedestrian -oriented areas and open
space --envisioned by both the City and University can be obtained.
Some sacrifice of traffic operations during the evening peak period
of the day will be expected. Pedestrian movements on the fringe
or across the remaining traffic carriers also may be less free.
Some peak period congestion and pedestrian recirculation does not
appear to be an overriding consideration when compared to the im-
proved environment and the creation of a strong, active CBD.
The future function of Burlington Street would be more oriented
toward that of a CBD collector -distributor and less oriented to that of
a crosstown arterial.. Consideration in the development of the Area -
wide Transportation Plan must be given to providing alternative routes
for crosstown movements.
More extensive use of transit and higher auto ridership (car
pooling) has been evidenced due to improved transit service as well
as fuel shortages and increased gasoline prices. Consideration
may be given to establishing staggered working hours to reduce
peak hour traffic demands, however, staggering working hours
makes car pooling more difficult. It should be noted that the
traffic and capacity estimates do not reflect reductions in traffic
demands due to increased transit ridership and possible higher
auto occupancy.
The following design elements should be given careful con-
sideration to assure optimum traffic operations as well as flexi-
bility for potential future travel demands.
Pedestrian /traffic conflicts should be eliminated or
minimized at critical Burlington Street intersections.
Grade separating major pedestrian movements and/or
relocating pedestrian crossings to midblock locations
such as Capitol, Dubuque and College Streets, where
pedestrian malls are proposed under the redevelop-
ment plan, would enhance the traffic operations.
Imposing a capacity restraint on Clinton Street while
affording adequate access to adjacent parking and other
core facilities will require favoring --with lane arrange-
ments, markings, and signals --those movements bound
to the interior areas at the expense of through movements.
DE LEUW, GATHER 0 KPANY

Signal timing should be set to accommodate a minimum
number of through vehicles. An intermediate signal,
north of Burlington Street, might be used to allow left
and right turns from Clinton Street to the interior facili-
ties, while impeding through traffic.
To provide flexibility in intersection capacity in the
Burlington -Lynn -Gilbert Streets area, maximum use
of College Street should be made as an access route
between Gilbert Street and the eastern area of the core.
College Street should not be closed or its potential use
as an entrance to core parking inhibited.
Burlington Street should not be expected to accommodate
any appreciable growth in through traffic volumes. As
part of the long-range areawide street plan, the function
of Burlington Street should not be that of a crosstown ar-
terial.
Iowa Avenue, in conjunction with the Market Street -
Jefferson Street one-way couplet, has potential for
significant traffic growth. Removal of parking on the
one-way couplet could provide capacity for about 50 per-
cent more traffic on this route. The critical intersec-
tion is at Jefferson Street and Clinton Street where major
pedestrian movements could limit traffic operations to
Level of Service D under this traffic increase. Level of
Service C could be attained by grade separating the major
pedestrian conflicts and/or removing them to minor street
locations such as Iowa Avenue, Capitol Street and Dubuque
Street.
Gilbert Street, particularly in the vicinity of Burlington
Street, may require widening to accommodate growth in
through traffic.
We would be glad to review our findings at a meeting in Iowa
City whenever you deem this appropriate.
Very truly yours,
ZHurLlE

APPENDIX A
LEVEL OF SERVICE QUALITIES
Level of Service A --No vehicle waits longer than one red indication,
the intersection approaches appear open, turning movements are
easily made and nearly all drivers find freedom of operation.
Level of Service B --An occasional approach green phase is fully
utilized and a substantial number of the approaches are nearing
full use. Many drivers begin to feel somewhat restricted within
platoons of vehicles. This level of service is frequently suitable
for rural design.
Level of Service C --Drivers may have to wait through more than
one red signal indication and backups may develop behind turning
vehicles. Drivers may feel somewhat restricted, but not objec-
tionably so. This level is often used for design purposes.
Level of Service D --Delays to vehicles approaching an intersection
may be substantial during short periods within the peak hour, but
excessive backups are not expected. Although somewhat less than
desirable, Level of Service D is quite often acceptable in central
business districts.
Level of Service E --The volumes are at or near the intersection's
capacity (the maximum that could be expected to be accommodated),
long queues of vehicles wait to clear the intersection, and delays may
involve several signal cycles.

Mr. David O. Meeker, Jr.
Assistant Secretary for Community
Planning and Development
Department of Housing and Urban Development
Washington, D.C. 20410
Dear Mr. Meeker:
June 19, 1974
U1 S WElL1 C�• MA ,!R
We have received a copy of a letter addressed to you dated April 15,
1974, concerning Urban Renewal Project # Iowa R-14 (City -University Project I)
signed by five residents of Iowa City, Iowa, representing five of the many
citizen organizations within the Iowa City Community. We have also received
a letter dated June 7, 1974, signed by Mr. Guy J. Birch, Director of the HUD
Omaha Area Office, in response to the above-mentioned letter addressed to you.
The lag in response time to Ms. Auter's,PeCoun
etter .is most regret-
table. Their direct contact to you was, I am appeal for support for
their position on urban renewal at a time whencil was considering
alternatives after the defeat of the March 28 referendum on the issuance of
bonds. Since then the Council has again reaffirmed its support of the Old
Capitol R e opment proposal and in fact is awaiting only final approval of
an ame atony nancial plan from HUD to complete all the necessary paper work.
Thei ch=s ould be viewed in that perspective.
2 irch's response to one of the authors of the April 15 letter was,
properly acceptable. However, we feel that a more direct response to some of
the points raised in the letter is in order. We will respond to certain points
in the letter in the order they were
listed.
First, the author of the letter is prone to overstatement throughout the
text. Perhaps this was done for emphasis. For instance, in the first paragraph
the statement that ". . .there exists substantial disagreement with the planning
concept. . .", and that elements of the renewal project.have . . .generated
great danger of permanent devisiveness in the community)(p- Certainly there are
those in the community who are dissatisfied or unhappy with the course that ur-
ban renewal is taking. Whether this is "substantial disagreement" which would
cause a "permanent devisiveness" is questionable.
Mr. David 0. Mee kerr. -2- June
19,
1979 .

The author states that the history of the Council's (apparently here he
is referring to the present five -person City Council) actions warrants the
interpretation that they have responded chiefly to the economic interests of
those who would stand to profit from the construction and subsequent rental
of the enterprise. The history of this project, and thus Councils' action,
goes back to 1963. Only one of the signers of the letter was a resident of
Iowa City at that time. Indeed, only two of the signers of the letter have
lived in Iowa City for three years or more, and thus have no firsthand know-
ledge of the history of past Councils' actions. Since the inception of plan-
ning for this urban renewal project, there have been nine separately consti-
tuted City Councils. In response to the author's statement that the ordinary
citizen has been virtually powerless to effectuate his or her concerns, it
should be stated that during the early stages of the planning of the project,
there were various committees set up to elicit citizen input as to the future
of downtown Iowa City. As stated in the letter, there was a two-year time
delay, from 1968 to ,1970, caused by litigation. Once the litigated issue
was settled, the project was approved by the Chicago office of HUD and a con-
tract signed on September 2, 1970. By March, 1971, a 19 -person Project Area
Committee was created by the action of the City Council. That committee is
still in existence at this time. The committee was made up of property osmers,
tenants and businessmen in the project area, students who resided in the pro-
ject area and an owner -occupant in the project area. It is our position that
the Project Area Committee represented a fair cross section of the people who
would be directly affected by the urban renewal project. In addition to the
Project Area Committee, a broad-based group known as Citizens for a Better
Iowa City, the League of Women Voters, the Chamber of Commerce as well as other
citizen groups have for the past four years consistently made their views known
on urban renewal both at informal and formal meetings of the City Council.
The letter states that ". . .the land (project land) was never freely offered
for sale, only specific parcels for specific purposes, unseccessfully." This
statement is not entirely true. Two parcels of land were offered for sale in
the winter of 1972. One of these parcels was advertised specifically as a
site for a department store. The parcel offered with it was advertised for
no specific purpose other than those cited in the approved Urban Renewal_ Plan,
i.e. central business district, commercial. Advertisements--of€ering-tl-i nd
ran-in't�_: vember and December, 1972, issues of thc:.National Real Estate -b
��vestor�%�h-r-ee Sundays in the Real Estate Secti�fij' f the Cedar F�anitis
_.-Gaze, ,__o:if our times in our local newspaper, e1 Iowa .City Press Citizen.
Th�arcCls reoffered on an either/or basis, as is, the prosQective &ovel-
oper co purchase both or either site.
Another parcel was offered specifically for a federally -assisted senior
citizen housing project. While there was no national advertising for this par-
cel, advertisements did appear in the three newspapers cited above. In response
to the advertisements, three proposals were submitted. After careful review, in
consultation with the Area Office of HUD, all three proposals were deemed econom-
ically infeasible and all three had to be rejected. One other small parcel of
land was offered for sale in the winter of 1972 for no specific use except those
stated in the HUD -approved Urban Renewal Plan. A proposal was submitted but
as of this writing, the developer has not yet taken title to the land.
Mr. David O Meekerjj1iJr. -3- . June 19, 1974
We are not clear as to the source or the authenticity of the statements that
. .proposals made by local businessmen to rebuild on sites in the area des-
troyed by firs were turned down." We are aware that a small restaurant burned
in 1964 and t'.e owner was discouraged by Councilpeople from rebuilding at that
time. However, the parcel of ground was not one which was to be purchased or
affected by the Urban Renewal Agency. There was no legal way that the City
Council or anyone could prevent the owner from rebuilding on that site if he
chose to do so within the purview of the existing codes-and-ordinances of the
City. That site has been for sale in the open market since 170. There is
another site on which a theater stood that burn- in 19 (s,}_ I. is however,
half of a parcel of land now owned by the City part of the renewal process
and we are unaware of any person offering to purchase-the-entire site for pur-
poses of rebuilding.
The above is offered for your consideration by way of background to a
Council policy which evolved from the unsalability of pieces of urban renewal
project land offered on a piecemeal basis. It was at this time, at the direc-
tion of the City Council, that members of the City staff began personal visits
to several large developers in the midwest in order to ascertain firsthand the
response to two questions. 1. Did we have a marketable project in Iowa City;
and 2. Would large scale, well-known developers be interested in the acquisi-
tion and subsequent redevelopment of the project land in Iowa City. At the
same time national advertising continued, eliciting general interest in the
project. A list in excess of 20 developers was formed and periodic newsletters
or status reports were sent to them about the project in general. From our
personal visits with experienced developers, as well as the correspondence
received in return to our status letters, it became obvious to us that we
would be able to sell land in Iowa City but that we needed more local support
for the project than we had elicited to that point.
After much discussion and many meetings, the City Council decided late in
the winter of 1972, on the basis of past experience in attempting to market the
project land as well as the advice and consultation of experienced developers,
to attempt to sell all of the project lands, except that to be disposed of to
the University of Iowa, under what became know as the "single developer" con-
cept. This decision was based on social, economic and aesthetic considerations.
Once that decision had been made by the City Council, the City staff intensi-
fied efforts to market the land and, with the City Council, called for more
local input in the successful execution of the Urban Renewal Proj•::•-t.
In response to these efforts, in March, 1973, a group known as the Old
Capitol Business Center Company was formed, not as is stated in the letter to
". . .promote downtown renewal. . .," but to pool its resources to ascertain
the feasibility of participating in the redevlopment of downtown 1craa City.
Towards this end, after interviewing several firms, they engaged the services
of Meadow Link, Incorporated, a real estate consulting firm located in Chicago.
Together the Old Capitol Business Center Company and Meadow Link Incorporated
conducted a very detailed and sophisticated marketability study. Typically,
the Local Public Agency should be able to furnish prospective developers with
a current land use and marketability study. However, the Area Office of HUD
refused to concur in a contract for an update of a 6 -year-old LUMS and so the
City had to tell all prospective developers that they would have to do their
own marketability study. This is exactly what the Old Capitol Business Center
Company did.
Mr. David O. M

June 19;
The statement in the letter that reads, " .From its inception, the City
began to discourage inquiries from outside developers. . ." is simply not true.
In February, 1973, a full-page ad explaining the general nature and the single
developer concept which the City Council had adopted appeared on page 117
in the National Real Estate Investor. In that same issue on page 119 there
appeared a half -page display ad soliciting interest in the project. The next
few months were spent in getting re -use appraisals and working with the Area
Office of HUD in arriving at Fair Re -Use Value for all of the Project land.- ".
On July 20, 1973, an offical publication appeared in the Iowa-City_Pr-ess--Crtizen
giving public notice that the City was inviting propos I! for_re ev opnent on
16 parcels of land comprising approximately 11.5 acres iny-tha._downtown area.
Official publication also appeared on July 27. A full-page ad advertising the
land for sale appeared on page 22 of the"August, " 1�3.,-.issue of the stational

October 18, 1973- These actions taken by the can in no way be con-
strued to constitute actions ". .to discourage inquiries from outside
developers."
A word about parking is in order at this time. The letter refers to
litigation arising from the method of financing a parking ramp in Ia«a City.
The letter correctly stated that, at the time of the drafting of the letter,
the District Court ruling was under appeal by the City to the Iowa Suprome
Court. The Supreme Court has ruled on this matter in favor of the city. The
letter also state that the p„ro�os�1 submitted by Old Capitol Asec sociates
4a major element two municipal par}:i ng structures, 4 ":}'==t
statement is true, but it is also true that the Urban Renewal Plan, al -proved
by HUD in September, 1970, had as one of its major elements two par-ing facil-
ities. The developer was merely responding to what had been called for in
the Urban Renewal Plan. The reference in the letter pertaining to a third
parking ramp would indicate that it was suggested by the developer. This
statement is not true. The developer simply reflected the planning strategy
of the City which was presented in the City's Five -Year Capital Improvement
Program which had been debated within the community and formally issued in
July, 1973, approximately 3' months before the developer submitted his proposal.
The author of the letter accuses the City of "selling" the plan, i.e. the
Old Capitol proposal. The Council held a series of seven neighborhood meetings
in October - November, 1973, to discuss the proposal of Old Capitol Associates.
It also held a series of 9 neighborhood meetings, plus innumerable presentations
to service clubs, League of Women Voters, employee groups, etc., in 93arch of
this year. In addition, two call-in radio shows with representation from organ-
izations that signed the letter of April 15, were held just prior to the refer-
endum. The author has put the City in a position of "damned if it didn't and
damned if it did". That ist if the City did not afford the citizens the oppor-
tunity to review the plan by setting up a series of neighborhood meetings, which
it did, then the City would be accused of not allowing citizen input. The City
Council and the City administration felt it necessary to hold these neighborhood
meetings to present the Old Capitol Associates' redevelopment proposal to the
The letter then turns to the issue of a referendum held in the community
which would have authorized the City Council to issue up to $6 million in general
obligation bonds in furtherance of the renewal pro'&atr—Tbg', bonds would have
been repaid by the increase in real estate taxe emcna ing tram redevelopment
within the project area. A 60% majority of the vo a required to give
the City Council this authorization. The author of the letter complains about
the wording of the issue on the ballot. In fact, that wording was prepared by
the City's bond counsel who is charged with the assurance of the marketability
of the bonds, and the wording was taken directly from the Code of Iowa, partic-
ularly that section which deals with the financing of urban renewal projects.
The accusation by the author of the letter that members of the City Council,
in an eff o thwart the State's open meetings law by meeting individually
withLco-,=2
ianager to discuss downtown redevelopment, cannot be left to stand
withou. Very simply, the accusation is not true. Such a tactic has
witholu
never even been suggested.
The letter then concludes with some general comments regarding citizen
participation and the authors' apparent dislike for the disposition of all
project lands to a single developer. Contrary to the opinion of our critics,
we feel that the City is indeed fortunate to have one developer willing to
purchase and redevelop all project lands. As you are aware, ar. Secretary,
your Department has retained the firm of Real Estate Research Corporation at
a cost in excess of $500,000 to undertake a study with regard to land di:aw-
sition in urban renewal projects throughout the country. ?s anyone who trav^is
throughout the country knows, the Department of Housing and Urban peveloixncnt,
through various local public agencies, owns a great deal of vacant land wit-hin
our urban areas, land which has been cleared of slum and blight but, "or
number of reasons, has not been put back to its highest and bent, or indeed,
any use. with economic conditions being what they are, we feel that we are
indeed fortunate to have a developer who is willing to purchase the land over
a two-year period and completely reconstruct our downtown according to a
known plan over the next 7 years. our critics would have us abandon this
plan and return to offering individual parcels which would among other things
certainly make unsure the sale of all renewal property. At this time, the
majority of the City Council does not opt for that position.
It would appear that the authors of the letter have riot taken a liking
to the President's "new federalism". Rather than trying to solv:• _heir pro-
blems at the local level with local officials, they are solicitthe federal
government for assistance, which of course they are perfectly fr to do. We
take issue, however, with Mr. Birch's setting up a meeting ,among }i:;0 officials,
City officials and citizens in our community. This matter, I feel should have
been handl , through the City Council and not in the manner it was which has
u the Council in an extremely awkward position.
The Council is, was and will be ready to meet with any group of citizens
on any matter whatsoever. Meetings, however, which are long delayed, have no
objectives, and have limited possibilities for modifying existing decisions,
are usually unproductive and sometimes damaging to all participating parties.
Again, we will be willing to schedule another meeting on urban renewal with
Iowa Citians at a time suitable to Mr. Birch and the City Council.
We would personally invite you to come to Iowa City and be present with
officials from HUD offices in Omaha and Kansas City at such a meeting. In
fact, I am sure many citizens in our City would welcome an opportunity to
direct questions on policy, implementations, rules and regulations that have
emitted from the offices of Housing & Urban Development.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to previous correspondence
Very truly yours,
Edgar Czarnecki
Mayor
