RE: Vacation of Woolf Avenue and VA Hospital
Dear Abbie:
If you will recall, we passed an ordinance sometime ago which
has not yet been published vacating a portion of Woolf Avenue. The
publication was held up pending obtaining a written agreement from
Veterans Administration concerning the vacation. I have now secured
the necessary signatures from the VA officials on the agreement.
The original copy of the agreement is attached. Please have it
signed by yourself and the Mayor and return a certified copy for me so
that I may send it back to Fred Brown for his files as he requests.
You may go ahead and have the vacation ordinance published in
order to make it effective.

Attached, please find a certified copy of the Memorandum
of Agreement concerning the above vacation of Woolf
Avenue, which you requested for Fred Borwn.
We have processed the Ordinance and it will be published
by next week. Besides recording the Ordinance, I have
had the agreement recorded.
Yours very truly,

At its meeting of September 4, 1c--74, the Johnson County Commission on Environ-
mental Quality voted to submit to the City Council for review the latest rough
draft of the proposed noise control ordinance, under consideration by the
Coirvnission. Attached is a copy of the above-mentioned ordinance together with
comments and recommendations by John W. Hayek, Attorney-at-law, and Iowa -Illinois
Gas and Electric Company.
The Commission on Environmental Quality would greatly appreciate your reviewing
these attached items. We would like to emphasize that the enclosed ordinance is
only a rough draft and will need considerable refinement and reorganization. The
Commission would also paint out that at the present, additional studies are being
conducted in relation to the Environmentalprotection Office discussed in sections
3.1 through 42 of the noise ordinance. The studies being conducted are primarily
concerned with the role of the Environmental Protection Officer in other cities
and and how such a position could be developed in Iowa City or Johnson County in
conjunction with existing laws. Also under investigation in greater depth are the
duties and responsibilities associated with this position.
The Commission on Environmental Quality.also requests that a joint meeting be
held between the Commission and the City Council to discuss the enclosed ordinance
and comments. If convenient, the Commission on Environmental Quality requests
that such a meeting be scheduled within the time period of September 25 to
October 2.
Thank you for your consideration.

Ms. June Kinney AUG 2 81974
Administrative Assistant
Commission on Environmental Quality PLANNING COMMISSION
Johnson County Regional Planning Commission
22 1/2 South Dubuque Street
Iowa City, Iowa ' 52240
Dear Ms. Kinney:
As you: requested in your letter of July 23, 1974, I have reviewed
the proposed noise ordinance under consideration by the Commission
and offer the following comments.
First of all I question the need for the adoption in the City of Iowa
City of such a comprehensive noise ordinance. Many of the existing
ordinances of the City of Iowa City covernoise situations and I think
cover them rather adequately. For example, Section 6. 46. 12 prohibits
excessive motor vehicle noise and contains a number of requirements
with respect to equipment on motor vehicles in connection with noise
emissions. Section 8.10. 18 `of the City Code contains restrictions on
noise emissions from manufacturing' facilities in certain zones of the City.
Adoption of the proposed ordinance would require, it seems to me,
an extensive and expensive noise abatement bureaucracy within the City.
Certainly the noise officer would need to be formally trained and have
considerable qualifications in the engineering and related areas so that
such officer could not only: administer the provisions of the ordinance but
could also establish him or herself as an expert witness for the purposes
of testifying in Court in: noise abatement prosecutions.
Also I suggest to you that enforcement of an ordinance with the
complex regulations that it contains, especially in Sections 7. 1 and
following sections, may well be difficult Bear in mind that to obtain a
criminal conviction under these provisions of the ordinance it will be
necessary to establish beyond a reasonable doubt to a judge or, if
demanded by an. accused, a jury of laypersons, that all of the elements of
the various offenses exist. Although certainly not impossible, I think
that proving a violation of this ordinance wherein it is required to establish
the existence of noise levels by use of extremely technical equipment, the
Lastly some comments of a more specific nature. It seems to me
that Section 4. 1 should be altered to make it clear that all activities of the
officers of the'Environmental Protection Office are subject to the super-
vision and direction of the City; Manager. Certainly, for example,. the
office should not have the power to enter into contracts directly unless the
City Council is willing to considerably alter the Council -Manager form of
government. I question the authority -..of the City to require a private
individual or company to maintain records and make measurements of
noise emissions and -report the same to the City as required in Subsections
6 and 7 of Section 4. 1. Also I question the authority of the City to require
an individual to submit a -vehicle for inspection without arrest, apparently,
as set forth in Section 8'3. Perhaps authority exists in this state for these
activities and I would be happy to be 'made aware of it.
Very truly yours,

office should not have the power to enter into contracts directly unless the
City Council is willing to considerably alter the Council -Manager form of
government. I question the authority -..of the City to require a private
individual or company to maintain records and make measurements of
noise emissions and -report the same to the City as required in Subsections
6 and 7 of Section 4. 1. Also I question the authority of the City to require
an individual to submit a -vehicle for inspection without arrest, apparently,
as set forth in Section 8'3. Perhaps authority exists in this state for these
activities and I would be happy to be 'made aware of it.
Very truly yours,

Commission
222 South Dubuque Street,
Iowa City,'Iowa
Attention: June Kinney
Dear Ms. Kinney:
First of-all,thank you very much for the opportunity
last week to expre'ss Iowa -Illinois Gas And Electric Company's
position concerning th-e.'most recent noise ordinance proposal for
Iowa City. It was a pleasure meeting you and your associates
and I am looking forward to possibly meeting with -the Commission
again in September.. At rate., we appreciate the opportunity
to provide input on this timely subject,— noise and it- control.
From an . environmental standpoint, we essentially agree
with the concept of establishing a noise ordinance provided that
such an ordinance 1, is ma - intained in the proper perspective and
does not become- an improper tool for hidden objectives. Consequent-
ly., we would like to offer the following comments and recommendations
in the attitude of constructive criticisms as aides in developing
a more reasonable and workable regulation. often times an ordinance
may appear sound on the surface5 but once it is passed the effects
turn out to be.devastating and not within the original intent. As
with the previous noise.proposals3 our comments begin with a specific
section by section appraisal of theordinancefollowed by conclusions,
summary and recommendations.

Section I: Purpose — ,The term "prevent" in the stated purpose
is somewhat misleading in that only .a small portion of the total
ordinance is geared to:•rard noise prevention. Rather, the result
of the ordinance would appear to, be regulation and control of
noise sources hopefully -achieving a general decrease in overall
noise levels. Itis not possible_ to totally prevent noise, but
controlling and _regulating 2'.s,a feasible objective. Perhaps the
statement of purpose should be reexamined toward that end.
Section II: Definitions and Standards - The -introduction to the
thirty-six 36 definitions e
� ) that follow recognizes that the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has already established
many definitions for noise related terms. The indication is that
ANSI must be an authoritative source when it comes to noise and its
meaning. Therefore, it would seem more efficient to utilize ANSI
definitions for the terms`.de;f ined in this section. Since the ANSI
standards are to be used in other sections of the proposal (Section
8.3 for example), confusion_ will result when mixing two different
sets of definitions.
Consider the following regarding some of the definitions
in Section I1•
2. Ambient Noise Level - The definition specifies that
the dB(A) level exceeded 90 percent of the time in a one hour period
is the ambient level. However, we" -would like to indicate that a
value fitting this description -between7 and 8 'a.m. on Monday pro-
bably will not be the same for the following hour. For that matter,
the level recorded this Monday will not be the same as for the exact
same time period on the following.Monday. Thus, this definition
can only result-in`numesous recorded ambient levels. We recommend
that the definition be altered so that a consistent ambient level
will be obtained regardless of the time period in which it is taken.
Perhaps if an ambient value is required for determining whether or
not a particular noise source is in compliance with the ordinance,
the ambient value can be'obtained during a time period established, -
by the noise officer and_` the --operator of the noise source. The
operator may be in.a better position to recognize extraneous or
unusual conditions that would lead to inaccurate values.
8• Emergency Work or Emergency Vehicle— First of all,
we suggest that the;�e two terms be- defined separately. Even though
the 'work' and the vehicle may'oe-used in the same- types of events,
they are still two separate and distinct items which should be in-
dividually°described• Secondly, the terms 'Public calamity) should
perhaps be explicity described in'this section. It seems self-defeat-
ing to define one term using other words that are subject to varying
degrees of individual interpretation.. Such a situation can do nothing
but eventually lead to confusion. e

the ambient value can be'obtained during a time period established, -
by the noise officer and_` the --operator of the noise source. The
operator may be in.a better position to recognize extraneous or
unusual conditions that would lead to inaccurate values.

the 'work' and the vehicle may'oe-used in the same- types of events,
they are still two separate and distinct items which should be in-

11. Level, , Day Night - The definition notes that values
recorded at night should be.inereased.by 10 dB(A) before averag-
ing the 24 hour period recordings. Such a procedure may or may
not be accurate depending on the'location of the reading. For in-
stance, in an..area of heavy industrial activity, the dB(A) values
are usually fairly constant 24 hours a day. Thus, increasing the
night values by 10 dB(A) would often give rise to incorrect results.
The definition should allow for consideration of the area in which
the readings .are. taken`.
�� 17. Noise --Use of the terms "psychological or physio-
logical could bring a new dimension to the actual intent of the
noise proposal. The—Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
has proposed noise levels to which people can be exposed for
specified time periods without suffering any hearing loss. The OSHA
limits (used in Section 5.2`.17 -of this proposal), then, could per-
haps be used in determining whether or nc•t physiological damage is
likely to occur. Hovever, simple numerical categorization of when .
psychological damage may, occur does not currently exist. Perhaps
the reason for this is`that when=it comes to determining psychological
effects, there are too,many factors specific to each individual to
establish universal values Different lifestyles, interests, and
values are just a few'of:the items which may influence ones suscepta=
bility to a particular noise. Thus, we recommend that the ANTSI de-
finition of noise; be used in this ordinance since that definition is
less likely to be subject to confusion and misinterpretation that results
when dealing with different individuals.
18. Noise Disturbance- Unfortunately, if the definition of
these terms is allowed.,without alteration, the entire ordinance will
be subject to individual interpretation. What constitutes a "normal"
or "reasonable" person-andwho are the "other persons?" "The pur-
pose of the entire project is really to define reasonableness. We are
certain that almost everyone.has been annoyed or disturbed by some
noise at sometime ;in their life..- Some people seem to be bothered more
easily by noise than others A person that is -"normal" and "reason-
able" in every other respect could feasibly be very annoyed by any
sound. Thus, this particular definition probably should be stated
more explicitly.; It will bedifficultto satisfy everyone without
serious repercussions on orderly growth and development. A certain
amount of tempered judgement is required in determining what conditions
constitute a noise problem and this judgement parameter should be
accommodated in the ordinance.
33- -Stationary Noise Source — Including the term "movable"
in this -definition does not seem 'appropriate since a movable object
normally is not stationary. We assume that the intent is to include
�A}ILLIN O1S GAS AND ELECTRIC GOM
such:rancitemeJ-11 a would be �augasoline po ,ered pump • Undoubtedly,
auto^lobiles, trucks, ;Motorcycles and larrnmoviers should not be in-
cluded. Clarification of this definition is suggested.
We have spent a considerable amount of time discussing
the definitions in the proposal. Although vie do not fully agree
with some of the others on which we have not commented, ve feel
that the foregoing are needful of correction. The definition of
terms is fundamer_ta1 to the success If the
of the ordinance.
terms are loosely and poorly defined, the ordinance will have
little substance and will be.difficult to administer.
Section IV: Powers of EPO:- In general, the powers delegated to
the Environmental Protection Office are adequate toe effectaph ively
12
execute the mandates of.the ordinance Hovievej'' portant aspect
concerning education. purposely excludes a very imp p
of the educational goal— ways and methods to abate noise. Perhaps
the reason for such an exclusion is concern that discussion of
noise abatement may directly`or indirectly lead to endorsement of
a particular product designed to decrease
noise. At any rate, the
purpose of the educational program would not be fulfilledeunless
We
noise abatement"techniques are clearly ,and openly p
suggest that the program could be designed in a manner that would
avoid product endorsement.
Next, we call attention to paragraph 4.17 which notes
that measurement of noise levels.may be required by the EPO accord-
ing to established methods and procedures at such times and locations
that are reasonable We believe that the EPO should consult with
the owner or operatorofa given noise source before establishing the
best times and locations fortakingnoise reading. The operator may
know of some unusual operating conditions that could result in non-
typical noise -levels. 1..The drive for 'noise abatement should be a
cooperative effort as much as possible which will assist in making
the ordinance achieve Jts. intent,
Section IV= ?: Duties of the EPO One of the duties of the EPO
is to establish noise .measurement methods which will further the pur-
pose of the proposal. Since the ANSI has already been recognized as
an authoritative -'organization for the subject of noise and since it
is ANSI methods that are to be used when determining moving vehicle
noise levels (Section -8.3), we suggest that ANSI methods be adopted

techniques, though tring.
Since noise measurement is dependent on many factors,
measurement methods should be used..

Section V: Noises Prohibited = This particular section outlines
those iter -as and events that coristitute either excessive, unusually
loud or unnecessary noise. We :Mould simply like to point out that
unless each item is.carefully and:explicited defined, confusion
will result when attempting to enforce the ordinance. For example,
section 5.2.2 notes that discharging an exhaust to the open air
except through a muffler in:good repair is an unnecessary noise.
By the same token, then, if a muffler is used and a noise still re-
sults, that noise should be termed necessary and in compliance with
this section. Unfortunately, the _Inecessary' noise may violate the
numerical limits in later sections. Thus, the noise complies with
and violates the proposal. Therefore, we recommend that the ordinance
be so structured that compliance with a given part constitutes com-
pliance with the entire ordinance.
Paragraphs 5.2.12, 5.2.13, and 5.2.16 are simply restate-
ments of 5.2.1, 5.2.6 and 5.2.4 and should be stricken from the
draft.
paragraph 5.2.17 establishes acceptable noise levels and
length of time, of exposure to these .levels for places of public
entertainment First'of all, "Places of Public Entertainment" has
not been defined anr;.,here in the proposal. Unless such places are
identified, it will hs- questionable as to where and when the limits
apply. Secondly, most people that attend an event which will create
noise approaching these levels attend such an event because they
want to. It does not seem, _:appropriate to limit such.a noise when
those attending can merely leave if the levels are bothersome. Con-
sequently, we suggest that.this paragraph also be dropped from the
proposal.
Section VI: Exemptions and Permits — In addition to the items
covered by this section, we suggest that a compliance permit be
made available on a voluntary basis. If a particular noise source
can demonstrate that it complies with the ordinance, then a permit
is issued which expires but can be renewed in five years. in this
manner, anyone can get a permit and remove the doubt about whether
or not his carmotorcycle or for that matter substation complies
with the ordinance. Also, by making this a voluntary permit, Io;•ra
City personnel does not become overwhelmed with paper work as would
result in a mandatory permit situation.
Section VII: Noise Levels by Land Use — Paragraph 7.1 contains
two items which could create problems when attempting to enforce
the ordinance. (1) The phrase "at the property boundary or at
any point within the property affected by the noise..." is dif-
ficult to interpret. It seems to be inferring that a reading can
be taken at a,property line interfacing between two different classes
of lAnd use or within property.line for some unknown reason. In
our opinion, only the property line levels are of use in view of the
ordinance and its purpose.. (2) In cases where a particular noise
source is bounded by.differing land use zones, the ordinance denotes
that the source "i s subject;to the most stringent levels for the vary
ing land uses Such a requirement seems to be much more stringent
proposa-L. jr, a-Lso> -Li.mi-cs ine proper use of Lne -Lana ay ais-
counting any advantage to locating.'a,noise source near a in-
dustrial receiver and away from the residential receiver. For
instance, if a particular property is bounded on two sides by
residence and the other two sides by commercial businesses, the
noise source should be located nearer the businesses. This or-
dinance sees.no`benefit in such anapproach since the most strict—
residential - limits would apply to all sides. We believe it is
more equitable and favor amending this- paragraph to allow for dif-
ferent noise levels commensurate with the land use.
Paragraph 7.2 notes.'that-ambient noise should be "...measured
when the source is quiet..." In the.case of electrical transformers,
sometimes it is unreasonable- or extremely difficult to silence the
noise source — the .transformer— without causing some other adverse
effects. Likewise - even if the noise source is silenced,, there is no
guarantee that the ambient level will remain constant before and after
the source is activated. In fact, the odds are in favor of ambient
noise level fluctuation— usually not due to any individual noise source,'
but rather due to a combination of unrelated events and sources. Con-
sequently, we feel this 'paragraph should be reconsidered and revised.
Paragraph 7.3 makes reference to "pure tone" characteristics
of noise.sources yet does not provide for any method of determining
when a pure tone exists."Pure-tone" has also not -been defined An the
regulation. Therefore. we recommend that either the paragraph be removed
or
It tone" defined and a method. for determining the existence of
same be appropriately defined.
Paragraphs 7.5, 7.63 7 7, 7.8, and 7.9 are all similar in
that some sort of noise level projection will be required before
any action can be taken.. We wish to point out that noise level pro-
jections are often difficult ;to accurately develop because of the many
extenuating factors that contribute to the noise. These paragraphs
should perhaps be reexamined with this'thought in mind.
Section 8; Motor Vehicle'T'Toise Levels Iowa City Officials may find
this portion of the ordinance difficult to enforce relative to vehicles
"just passing through" the city. It.would seem to be inequitable to
require vehicles passing through'the city for the first and perhaps
o_ily'time to comply with the ordinance. Yet, such vehicles fall under
the domain of the ordinance. Even; though the intent of this section
may be to consider only those vehicles frequently in Iowa City, it is
not so stated in the section. Note, for instance, that part of Inter-
state 80 is in the city limits and -would thus be subject to the or-
dinance. Thus,; we recommend that this section be more closely evaluated `
in kterms of its possible total effects.
i
Section 10; Contracts In our view Iowa City will find it
difficult to obtain contractors willing to guarantee that
they will not exceed these-noise.levels.
Section 12; Low Noise Emission Products — We assume that this
section applies only to city owned and purchased products. It would be
difficult to enforce this section' -at - the private citizen or corporate
level. If our assumption is correct, the section needs to be re-
written reflecting such an intent.
We hope our comments herewith provided will be useful in
arriving at an optimum. ordinance. Although we have opted to com-
ment on some aspects that are not directly related to our operation,
we feel that they could be beneficial toward obtaining an overall
objective and reasonable proposal.
Briefly, then, our major recommendations include the
following;
1. Existing sources that are not the subject of.numerous com-
plaints should be specifically exempted from the ordinance.
2. A time delay between passage and enforcement of the ordinance
is vital to allow opportunity to correct noise problems.
3. The ANSI standards should be used whenever possible.
4. Ambiguous terminology should be avoided and intent clarified.
5. The proposal should be .viewed in light of the total effect that
it could have on the city.
Again, we thank you for this opportunity to comment and
we hope to be able to discuss the comments with you on September 4,
1974.

To: Mayors and Managers,Large Cities , Section
Executive.Director, League of Iowa Municipalities
From: Mayor George.A. Cole, Sioux Cjty
Subject: Meeting in Sioux City, September 20, 1974
Plans are firm now for the September 20 workshop and it appears we
will have a fairly representative group. The meeting will be held
at the Aventino Hotel, Sixth and Nebraska Streets. A block of 20
rooms has been tentatively reserved `fo.r-Thursday and Friday for
those requiring overnight:accomodations. Reservation cards are
enclosed for your convenience.
There was not enough interest in the proposed evening activities,
so the day's program will run from 9:00 a.m: to 5:00 p.m. Costs
will be $6.00 per person.
I visited with Bob Josten late last week and he stressed that the
workshop emphasiswill beondeveloping,a comprehensive policy
statement, based -on the `large;cities''perspective. So that we can
accomplish this.;goal, he.asks'that you review, with your entire
council, the contents of 'the first draft League Policy Statement
which you received in mid-August.
We are planning to devote,approximately,three hours to small group
discussions on the key elements of our legislative program, as well
as any new -elements introduced. Each.small group will report back
to the entire workshop and,'through a discussion coordinator, we
hope to draw together a consensus statement. It is vitally impor-
tant that your city.be represented.at the meeting and that those
representatives have reviewed the draft policy statement so they
are prepared to discuss -each item.
There is a lot of_ground.to cover on the 20th and we need everyone's
input. Please remind yourcouncil members of the meeting and come
prepared to work. We are,looking forward to a productive session.
