Since July 1 the bus has come through, our block rather than turning off Oakcrest`at,George and using Benton. Although many of us use the bus frequently and all of us want to have bus service, we request that the bus be re-routed so as to bypass ouV block. The reasons we request this change are: (1) Oakcrest is 31'wide ,(W.`Benton is 331) (2) W. Bentonis an arterial street while our block of Oakcrest is composed entirely of single family residences and -is a.purely.residential street (3) There are -12:1 children:under the age of twelve on our block, the street.is narrow and the sidewalk is Close to the atreet. This poses a safety hazard to:_:_: 'theseasmAllachildren (4) The buses, especially when.shifting gears, shake.. many residences,clattering dishes in cupboards. In conclusion, we feel we.would be -as well served as previously if the bus came to the corner at George and at Sunset.

There was also concern that other local agencies may be unwilling to continue the expected funding level if the primary member voted a lesser level. Specifically, the motion adopted by.the Executive Board was a follows: "To communicate;.with the, Iowa City Council and ask them to reconsider their position, speci- ficallyhthe reduction of'.funding in the amount of :twenty-five cents per capita for the period of July to December -1974, and to send represen- tatives of the ExecutiveBoardto the Council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, August 6th." The Executive Board would appreciate"`your consideration of this request at your formal; meeting of -August -6th. Members of the of the Executive Board hope to.attend to discuss this question with you. Si erely, Robert Hilgenberg Executive Director rh:sb ti} Y rtr ++ t s r �- F 1 U y I 33... _;. STATEiiENT BY: TSABEL TURNER :MADE :'FOR .THE EXECUTIVE BOARD TO THE s ' CITY COUNCIL OF IOIVA 'CITY AUGUST'`6, 1974. Members of the City Council, City staff: I appear before you tonight as,a member of, and speaking for, the Executive Board of the Regional -Planning Commission. At our meeting last Thursday morning, it.was decided that we would ask you to reconsider your recent action to`fund_the Regional Planning Commission at $1.25 per capita,and move to fund us at $1.50 per capita for the first six months of the fiscal year, as requested by your own represen- tatives to the Commission.. No criticism of your action is intended or implied, since we know that you acted only after careful thought and in what you sincerely believed to .be the best interests of the City you so ably ;represent. Under the Articles of Agreement of the Planning Commission the responsibilities of the Executive Board include proposing an annual budget and membership fee schedules; and further, reviewing in detail and recommending to the Commission the Work Program and Budget. The Executive`Board discussed the program budget for 1974-75 at seven meetings between October 1973 and May of 1974) culminating in three more long work.sessions on June 6th, June 11th, and finally, on June 13th, after which the Executive Board, in fulfillment of their responsibilities,.recommended'that the Work Program -Budget be referred to the Regional Planning Commission at their June meeting. While this work was going on, the staff was also meeting ■ eL §QTS L • . '� t.f'� `iY .a \F'y �4 \ \ f r f£ ae `^4": planning for their components These discussions also included a brief overview of the proposed program. Because the Executive Board is appointed from each juris- diction, and since, almost without exception, members of the Regional 'Planning Commission serve on. at least one functional committee, the Nor}. Program -Budget had become at least partially familiar to them before it was -formally presented. Members of the Planning Commission received their copies of this budget five days before they were to vote'on_.it; but let me emphasize again, it was a familiar document, properly pt_epa1red in accordance with the Articles of Agreement. This budget was approved by the Regional Planning Commission on.June 17th, with only one dissenting vote; surely a vote of.confidence in the1Vork Program -Budget and the Commission. It was known .almost from`the-beginning,that in order to carry out this wort. program, assessments. to the participating govern - merits would have to be.increased from'one dollar to one dollar and fifty cents per capita. This did'.not mean that the budget was suddenly increased, but that there ivas.finally no more money available from :Federal and state government During the 1973-74 fiscal year, this was a loss of $36,000`.1n federal funds, which also left the Regional Planning Commission`supPorting the Iowa Crime Commission and the East Central Iowa Association of Regional Planning Commissions instead of receiving funding fromth'em. The budget proposed for 1974-75 was $244,000, an increase of only 4,000;over the previous year's budget,rreflecting a modest cost of living increasein salaries, an equally modest increase in t. - Y)i - � { >f hyi,L `•,.-^ '�L�w ;. � f�3 �y..V f��44b.

This budget was 'attached to and was apart of the Work Program so that representatives of. member agencies, who voted. almost unanimously for the Work Program_Budget, were aware that this budget could only be implemented-by.a vote .for a $1.50 per capita assess- ment, and indeed, it could be assumed that their vote affirmed the budgetary requirement: It was realized, of course, that the repre- sentatives of the governmental bodies were speaking only for them- selves, and not for every elected official they represented. It was equally reasonable however, to'assume that they would support and work for this level of funding. A very small part'of the. total budget, $2,700, is assigned to the East Central Iowa.Association of Regional Planning Commissions, which is proportionately funded on aper capita basis by four other counties and the -State Office of Planning and Programming. This agency will increasingly'be important, and, in fact, necessary as more and more 'state and federal funding will be done through a regional level. At a time of:inflation where there are budgetary restrictions. on all people and governments, a.$1.50 per capita is a large increase over $1.00: It must be`realized,` however, that this is a temporary " increase in funding since once SMSA classification is gained through our special census', the:Commission willagain be able to directly receive federal money-and will na:longer be entirely dependent on. funding from its member: agencies. f 5 1414N, z One of the 'mosi''difficultConcepts of Regional Planning, or, in fact, any intergovernmental organization, is the necessity 1� for each entity to give up some of its own autonomy and accept a collective judgement. This concept was accepted by each govern- mental unit when they signified their desire to participate in the Regional Planning process. It is indeed inappropriate, if not improper, for any member agency, whether it be Lone Tree, the County, or Iowa City to decide unilaterally to;make judgements about specific budgetary allocations within an approved Work Program Budget. Rather, under the -authority of the collective judgement, the carrying out of b� specific programs within a Work Program are the sole responsibility of the Director of Regional Planning, subject to the approval of the Planning Commission. I would like to now address the whole difficult question of evaluation which has-been raised by members -of the City Council.. We all know and value the competent work that is being done by the Department of Community Development. ;However, Iowa City does not exist in a vacuum. What use is 'a comprehensive city land use plan when there is an ever present possibility that without a county land use plan, the city will soon besurroundedby sprawling unplanned development dependent in part, or feeding on, city services. What value will a Flood.Control Project'on Ralston Creek have, if the land outside the city limits is used in a manner to increase run off as fast as the `city, can control it? Without intergovernmental cooperation through the Commission how can integrated space needs be met, or joint` ..and cooperative law enforcement, or transit equip- ment be secured through UDITA, which'is requiring some coordination l '..

An evaluation of where the city should spend its money for planning is however, a decision properly laying within the authority of the City Council. A formal evaluation of the program does, however, raise some serious questions. First, the City Council should be assured that a continuing evaluation process does take place within the Regional Planning; Commission. The staff and Executive Board are weekly concerned with what we are accomplishing and if we are setting proper priorities. This alsotakesplace during monthly Regional Planning Commission meetings. A meaningful evaluation of future programs in Regional Planning could most appropriately take place at the time the Work Program -Budget is presented. It might, in fact, be a proper time to` discuss not only the program but the process of. Regional Planning. The problem in any evaluation would be compounded by the simple fact that Regional Planning is more than a Work Program - Budget. What dollar, or staff hour, value can be made of the intangible benefits of ;Regional Planning as administered in Johnson County? How do you'value increased intergovernmental coopera- tion? The way the Commission stood fast before the Iowa Crime Commission in their belief, that human needs are more important than shot guns? What value'can be placed on our Legislative Monitoring Service and the impac ton future legislative programs that come through meetings with our local legislators; or the possibility that arises from these., meetings to change"state plans,both through this local participation and through,`cooperation with other planning agencies in the state'?. r ' r _ ,. to other governments, plans to be undertaken that may effect them in a significant way?; Is it important to you to have a forum where discussion of problems common to all ogvernments can be shared and discussed? _ There is another, much more serious question raised by a formal evaluation proceedure. If a committee is formed to evaluate the past programs of Regional Planning, appointments to such a committee must -be made only -after the; most prudent and cautious consideration is given, in order to seek out people who can judge without prejudice. It is also important that there be some means of containing this committee 'at "all times, and that it operate under carefully conceived guidelines. It is unfortuante, that in the history of proceedings such as this, evaluation all to quickly becomes investigation; which, gathering a momentum of its own, has the potential to -harm people who have exercised careful.stewardship, but may, nevertheless be wronged by a biased or carelessly conceived judgement. The Executive Baord and the staff of the Regional Planning Commission are calmly confident that'a fair evaluation would reveal a sound program carried out by a`dedicated, committed staff <4�4[(Af ✓ ! i?Ir A.

As I hope you will see in your review. of the document; it is a fairly significant and important workplan. The three -Year concept is highly important to the Commission and your",jurisdiction as a member. It clearly states directions for the coming.year and further recognizes that planning needs must be_;'scheduled.over a period of years in order to address.them',properly7. I have characterized the approved.Work Program -Budget as starting a new era forintergovernmental cooperation in Johnson County. I feel that ,the`.proj.ects°and planning services offexed For the coming vear are sensitive.. to the identified.'needs of local governments in Johnson County: We with see':-the"culmination of a long-term effort in transportat Ion, :part.icularly in, the metropolitan portion of Johnson County. Association -with this completion of major planning effort will be the:re£inement'of ..the metropolitan land use plan. In the non-metropolitan-part,:o.f the County, we will see the initia- tion of a major. land use policy development and planning effort. Along with Ahis >:s` the update of `.-the.;important Park and Recreation Plan. The Human Needs area will see the completion of the first compre- hensive directo•ry.:;and analysis report -''of -human human service for the county. The planning program°also• includes provision for and improvement of<informati.on services which assist the Commission and member agencies in' :the area:of-State..and Federal legislation, funding, and -Programs., The program further includes the continued and improved emphasis on grant.greparation and general current planning services for the:non-metropolitan units of government. q v�" t f(`t Sly (^]] L�_f•C' i � , _ ,-';�.-. } L'} Yx� y r L fliZX rye 110.g_ - _ r�A<E • f 2 e.` 1 Y tom.. 44 I YYIfi-.'�' D LLIt rYY4,L S. ® August 1974 _Y u Page 2 - Finally, the work. plan includes. a new Phase in services in the area labeled Special S:tud:ies•anc Contractual Planning Services, The Commission has developed.th direct planning ass s program component to provide istance-through contracts to member agencies.

The location- in.--west'-_Iowa 'City adjoins.'the University of Iowa Hospital campus -and is located south of U.S. Highway 6/218 and <east -of Woolf Avenue. The purpose 'of this project.is to construct a parking garage to house 'the vehicles of employees, patients and visitors who- daily come�to the'Jowa City Station. At the .time'.of writing this Environmental Impact State- ment, the project.is entering the final preliminary design stage: A traffic/parking stud}r. has been completed identifying • the scope and size of the `parking garage, recommending a specific site 'on the Iowa.CityStation, and identifying a cost target:. for the project. -Th e following etiart�, (Exhibit,A), gives the scope and size of the parking needs for the V.A. Iowa City Station. Recent data supports the projected`' outpatient load of 80,000 visits. Exhibi_t�B reflects existing roads, parking and buildings.

The air quality in the area_is generally good with no major industrial polluters C.

The increased -utilization of the land itself. 4., -.Reduction: of'open`space on the.site. In terms oL the concentration of air pollutants, the proposed acti.on.;will add parking space for approximately 476 cars to the ':,site, an increase'of approximately 100 percent. Of this total, 120 -cars currently are parking on adjoining University -.property. The remainder are made up by increased .demand due to the growth of the Station and demand.by.those not presently afforded on-site parking-. Because most o'f`:these automobiles are or will be driven to the vicinity of, the _site in any event, the overall differ- ential in-theair;pollutants-.is`not. anticipated to materially inerease-as a result:of the parking structure.

The overall effect on the`region,,however, will'not`materially change. In,'_regard to water poLlution; some measures can be taken to eliminate the''carrying `of,particulant matter into the storm :drainage:system and on into the Iowa River. These measures can include -the provisions for appropriate French drains and sediment'traps'within the drainage system itself.> `- It -will -also be- _possib1e., reduce the snow melting chemicals and any petroleum runoff through design of proper oil inter- ceptors.

Land for a: remote- lot is not available near the present site and the;'possibility..of a remote lot would not solve the needs of visitors and outpatients and would meet with major resistance on the part of..per`sonnel 3. Taking no action was also reviewed. Because of the growth of the,:Iowa'-City Station and the im- ._ pending major involvement in ambulatory care brought -"about by -recent Federal legislation, this did not'seem.to"be a`practical solution. There is, no ---,alternate method of transportation for visitors and'outpati'ents utilizing the facility. Many"of."theemployees and staff, particularly -those who. live outside of Iowa City and Coralville, 23 'percent, do not have access to the 'public -transit system so they can get -to work no other way than by using the private automobile. 10.

I must concede..that.the Congress bears some responsibility for the current: state =of affairs but I think the major share, of the blame rests on the Administration For over:two years,`the White House and the De- partment.:of Housing and -Urban Development have thwarted every Congressional effort torenewand revitalize Federal programs for community development. - For example, you, will recall the disastrous impact of the freeze of Federal `housing,programs,,;pndertaken at the direction of the President on January 5j,!-1973• -Administration, 'Officials told Congress that the programs would remain.irozen'until`Congress;enacted the kind of com- munity development legislation the;President'demanded. But the Admini- stration's:proposals.for:.new legislation`.did not begin arriving on Capitol Hill until September; of last year -- too late for Congress to complete action 'in .1973 ' The remainder -of their proposals did not arrive until February of this year. These were the :'commmity, development revenue-sharing" plans that have become so controversial because of serious weaknesses and administrative'complexities'. ,Senate -House_ conferees are in the final stages of working out the Congressional version of this program. I sincerely hope that.this'Congressional"enactment will, at long last, break the`.logjam that has blocked progress'in urban development. Sinc rely, HAROLD E. HUGHES HEH:mr -KARMSON A. WILLMMS.

I must concede..that.the Congress bears some responsibility for the current: state =of affairs but I think the major share, of the blame rests on the Administration For over:two years,`the White House and the De- partment.:of Housing and -Urban Development have thwarted every Congressional effort torenewand revitalize Federal programs for community development. - For example, you, will recall the disastrous impact of the freeze of Federal `housing,programs,,;pndertaken at the direction of the President on January 5j,!-1973• -Administration, 'Officials told Congress that the programs would remain.irozen'until`Congress;enacted the kind of com- munity development legislation the;President'demanded. But the Admini- stration's:proposals.for:.new legislation`.did not begin arriving on Capitol Hill until September; of last year -- too late for Congress to complete action 'in .1973 ' The remainder -of their proposals did not arrive until February of this year. These were the :'commmity, development revenue-sharing" plans that have become so controversial because of serious weaknesses and administrative'complexities'. ,Senate -House_ conferees are in the final stages of working out the Congressional version of this program. I sincerely hope that.this'Congressional"enactment will, at long last, break the`.logjam that has blocked progress'in urban development. Sinc rely, HAROLD E. HUGHES HEH:mr i L] Progress. Report on the Community fused Recreation Program for Special Populations in Iowa City Prepared by Twyla Misselhorn All initial surveying has been completed. The project staff surveyed 49 human service agencies in the Iowa City area as well as 200 various individual members of:special populations in 9 different categories in, the community and residing in various collective centers in Iowa City. Thirty-seven .(37) agency :questionnaires were returned. Ninety-seven per of -the responding agencies indicated their support of the proposed:community.based recreation Program for special populations.. Several agencies have. volunteered assistance with our program, i.e., volunteers, assistance in planning, and general aid. A fifty percent response was; received on the individual surveys. A general overview of.the.individuaLsurvey data follows: 1. The average age:of'.our participants.is 34.93 years. 2. Vie had almost an equal distribution -of male and female respondents. 3. The average number of years of,education completed by our participants was 9.73 years. 4. Approximately 75% of our:,respondents were not married. S. The majority of our: respondents (60.69%) are students, housewives, unemployed, retired, working in'.sheltered employment, or are unemployable: 6. The majorty,'of our, respondents (60.70%) have annual incomes of less -than , i$2000.00' . Approximately 45% of these individuals have no annual incomes 7. A large percentage of our respondents (68.14%) are not living in a'normal family situation = 42.86% are living in collective centers and the remaining 25 28% are living `alone, with relatives, or friends. 8. Approximately 25% of the respondents:`are participating in agency sponsored recreational programs. Approximately 30% (29.35%) of the respondents:are participating in community recreation programs. This indicates that 71.66% of our respondents are not engaging in recreation in the community. 9. Approximately 48%.:of the -,respondents. engage in some type of churchsponsore d activities. 10. Friends and agencies_ are the..major media sources for participants to'get information, on recreation programs. 11. Participants spend very little.on recreation - 55.29% spend less than $1.00/week and 14.12% spend less than $2.50/week. 12. Approximately 89%';[of the respondents indicated that recreation is a vital -,part of their life 13. Over 47%,.of_our respondents felt that their recreational needs were not being met. If respondentsindicated that their needs were being met they stated that agencies were neeting these needs. f i 2 _ 14. Activities of greatest participation and interest indicated by the respondents were: PARTICIPATION (Top 15) INTEREST (Top 15) 1. Movies 1. Movies 2. Reading for Pleasure 2. Picnicking 3.

Approximately 60%of the- respondents are willing to pay a small fee for;`.the use of community facilities. 17. Respondents indicated that Saturday and Sunday evening would be the most. favorable. time-for them to participate in activities. Weekend afternoons, weekday evenings, and weekday afternoons also received strong support:` 18. Respondents `indicated.that small group and family activities were highly, agreeable to them. 19. The biggest,problems encountered by the respondents were transportation, costs,-and social.barriers. The survey findings were "prepared and presented to the city of Iowa City on July 11,'1974.:Attending this meeting were Mr. Eugene Chubb, Director of Parks and Recreation,;Mr. Robert Lee, Superintendent of Recreation, Dr. 'David Compton; Project Coordinator,' Ms. Twyla Misselhorn, Project Investigator, and-Mr.' Rex Bowen, Bureau of Education for the Handicapped`Graduate Student. The final go aheadl.on this project was delayed until the project • Cr t v 1 • _,3 program) and misc. The budget-was.detailed so as to show costs to the University, the existing Federal Grant, the agencies, the Iowa City Park and Recreation Department", and the proposed grant. Included in this program -packet were the goals and objectives of the program, the philosophy for establishing such 'a program,'the target population, and the actual program design. A'tentative first month's program and a list of special events for the entire year were also included. This packet was presented e to Mr. Leand Mr. Chubb for their consideration.: Several minor'revisions were made in the budget and in program times. Mr. Chubb also spoke with City Manager, Mr. Ray Wells, concerning adoption of this:program. The ,program was given the go ahead by Mr. Chubb on July 22,'1974 with -certain revisions to be made before final adoption. A meeting was held with Mr. _Lee on July 23 to discuss the final revisions necessary in the proposed program. At this time, the.program is,set to begin September 15, 1974. The program.will be run:by two`Bureau of.Education for the handicapped Training Grant therapeutic graduate students. These students will work with Mr. Lee'. and the Recreation'Center staff on administrative Procedures and program development.

I ta J REPORT'TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL TASK'FORCE ON THE NEWSPAPER RECYCLING PROGRAM IN EAST LANSING In November, 1973, newspaper recycling was begun in East Lansing as a joint operation of the City of East Lansing and the Michigan State University Waste Control Authority. The City purchased two aluminum tool sheds and installed them in East Lansing locations. The.Waste Control Authority agreed to service the sheds and recycle the 'paper biought to these two locations. A problem then arose with loose'papers being placed in these sheds, located at Hannah and Marble Schools, To counters at this, plywood doors were installed on the sheds by the Waste Control,'Authority ,at a cost of $10.00 per shed. Further problems arose when the sheds began to fill faster than the Waste Control • Authority could empty them. This caused the sides of the sheds to bulge and made the appearance of the sheds unattractive. The Waste Control Authority was unable to correct this problem until summer. By the end of June, plywood framing on the inside of the,.,sheds'was completed at a cost to the Waste Control Authority of $150.00 for each shed. - Additionally, instead of two pickups per week from the sheds, three pickups `per week were scheduled. The problem with loose paper is still experienced, but this could be counteracted through some publicity provided by East Lansing. From November, 1973, to July 201, 1974, approximately 400,000 pounds of paper were collected and recycled from these two sheds collectively. This 200 tons of material is illustrated in Figure.1 forlthe thirty-seven week period. You will note that for the last three.months we have -averaged fourteen (14) tons per month from the sheds. The current rrent price for . newspaper sales to the local scrap dealer is $8.00/ton loose. We are receiving- $35.00/ton baled for our material at the present time. X: 0 We estimate that the gross revenue for this thirty-seven week period was $82289.00. This represents. an average weekly income of $224.00. Our best estimate for collection, transportation, baling, advertising, administrative overheads, and rentals is $212.00 per week. This includes.the cost of repair and upkeep of the sheds. Recommendations 1. Due to the.decliniagsales price• -of newspaper at present, we recommend an additional.six month continuation of the cooperative East Lansing—Michigan State University project. 2. With the net revenues of $444.00, we.propose to purchase two (2) additional tool sheds and erect them at approved East Lansing locations. These sheds are to be the property of the City of East Lansing. 3. We request that adequate publicity for this project be given. Specifically, I the locations o4 the sheds, 'the tonnage we have saved from landfill, the cost savings in colle.-tion, transportation, and disposal of solid waste to the taxpayers of East Lansing should be publicized. In addition, the public should be notified that the program is facilitated when papers are bundled prior to being placed in the sheds. s "- C ® 2- 0 We estimate that the gross revenue for this thirty-seven week period was $82289.00.

The program has grown dramatically and now employs thirty students, recycling up to twenty tons'of`material per week. The revenue will exceed $6,900.00 for Fall quarter, 1973 (see Table l). The net income will be more than $3,000.00 (see Table 2). The value of recycled fibers has increased enormously: ® Sale Price of Recycled Materials (Per Ton) Unbaled Rate Increases L Item 2/1/73 4/25/73 8/13/73 10/1/73 11/1/73 11/12/73 Newspaper 6.00 12.00 16.00 23.00 28.00 33.00 W.00 IBM Cards 45.00 100.00 150.00 170.00 180.00 180.00►O,vo Print out 35.00 60.00 70.00 90.00 100.00 100.00 J� 5 c0 Cardboard 12.00 20.00 30.00 40.00 45.00 45.00 4S,00 The forecast through 1980 predicts that the shortage of raw materials in the paper and carton industry will continue and the market value will be optimistic. We presently collect these materials.:around campus and haul them in wire baskets to a semi=trailer provided by the Michigan Carton Company of Battle Creek. The baskets weigh about 1,000 pounds when full and must be double -stacked into ® the semi -trailer. Twice a week the trailer is filled by our efforts and hauled away. No indoor space -.is currently available to house these papers or transfer f - c ( : W. ;e 2 , } Statement .Racycliag Program P SProgram f - c ( : ;e 2 , them to the truck. During inclement weather,_ the operation is inefficient and hazardous at best. Proposal Michigan State University,; mindful of the national shortages of fiber, the advantages of reducing fuel, .:costs, and .the 'desire to implement new and progressive programs, should enforce a maximum recycling effort as a desirable University - wide programa We estimate that less than l% of the available secondary fibers are now being collected and recommend an expansion of the present operation. The Michigan Carton Company presently uses between 500 and 1,000 tons of recycled paper materials per day. They normally, have a thirty -day supply of materials ® on hand stored in their warehouse. Due to the extreme shortages, they have less than a 24-hour supply of material on hand. ;They have been buying fibers from as far away as Denver, Colorado's Phase I Michigan Carton Company of Battle Creek is interested in financing on a lease -purchase basis's building,;.a baler, and a forklift truck. Such a program would involve a capital cost of approximately thirty -thousand dollars ($30,000) with debt retirement`within'three years to Michigan Carton Company. At present market value, the differential of baled materials and increased anticipated volume will pay for the facility, and equipment. The building, of a design not yet determined, is to be located near the old M.S.U. incinerator area. We ® would agree on a contractural basis to sell our fiber to them. in return, we could anticipate a minimum "floor" price to be negotiated each year and the 27 Program Statement- Recycling Program Page 3 ' guarantee that they would purchase all paper we send to them during the life of a minimum three year contract. (See Tables 3 and 4.) We would organize additional academic and administrative areas, for newspaper and cardboard recycling collection. No additional labor would be required. Phase II The potential fiber available on campus, has been estimated at 5,000 tons per month. We are presently recycling approximately 72 tons per month. In Phase II we would begin a program of collecting office wastes such as mimeo- graph paper, letterhead bond, and telephone directories. This would be an expansion of existing operations and involve additional collection points. • It is primarily a source separation of materials on a voluntary basis with collection and sale by our Waste Control Authority program. Essentially, this means that the university community -would be asked to use separate waste baskets in selected, high volume paper areas.We would propose to lease a larger baler, lease or purchase conveyor belts and material handling equipment and develop a pilot program whereby selected buildings' waste would be sorted at this building and recycled. This would be tried on an experimental basis. Grounds Department, Salvage, -Physical Plant, Purchasing and other appropriate departments would be asked to,help design, operate, and facilitate this project. We would estimate an additional fifty paid.student laborers to undertake the operation. (See Table 5) 9 1�1 A�r� R� ly� F, TM ZZ Program Statement Recyc iir� 'Prog r Phase III We anticipate that compactor garbage trucks will be routed by "clean" buildings such as the administrative buildings, academic and classroom buildings, print shop, etc., to collect discarded materials which are essentially paper products. The mate I rial would be dumped on'the floor of our building and sorted. This post -consumer sorting of,'fibers :.in the amount of 20% (or 500 tons/month) would reduce the number of trips to.landfills. The cost of operation of compactor trucks is very high and with the current fuel crisis it is desirable to reduce this expense. The use of University full-time employees I would be required as a result of shifting from landfill to predominately recycling. The fibrous materials would be sorted, baled, and sold. If feasible, sorting of ferrous metals and glass would also o - ccur. Earnings would accrue to the University (see Table 6) and savings in hauling and landfill charges would be evident. We believe this is the ultimate in "waste control...And utiliz.ation." �.

Bonnett, I.Acting,Director of Public Works RE: Citizen Complaint in response to your inquiry concerning the hole on Lexington Street adjacent to Dr. January's home we found that approximately_ :2;_feet "west'of the west curb line a hole approximately 2 feet deep. The hole was caused by the erosion of..water flowing `over. .the top of the inlet which was blocked due to a:collapsed pipe just west of the curb line. We. -have replaced:the'12 inch -:line with a new 15 inch and have rebuilt approximately 55 feet of curb to prevent reoccurrence of..this problem. I am'somewhat puzzled by the complaint lodged by the residents of.6th_and I Streets,-concerning'erosion. In visiting with the Street Superintendent I find that the complaint was lodged bythe resident;.'of 1815 I Street but it did not concern erosion; but rather water runoff. Basically the resident's complaint was that new housing construction in the area had; blocked what was, a drainage channel causing water to pond on her garden. Mr. Dvorsky.indicated to the resident that this was a civil problem between the property owners. There is some erosionat the south end of 6th Avenue, however, Mr. Dvorsky stated that he had received no complaints concerning this erosion. We do, however feel that it is severe enough torequire attention "and we plan to correct it with rip rap from the curb repair project. If you have '.any questions concerning the above items Please don't hesitate to contact _me: • Sign ordina1. nce to be' discussed at meeting Discussion of proposed amendments to the city sign ordinance will continue Tuesday at the Lawrence City Commission meeting. Tuesday's meeting will begin at 2 p.m. in the fourth floor meeting room of city hall, the First National Bank building, Ninth and Massachusetts. Commissioner Barkley Clark proposed a variety of sign ordinance changes several weeks ago including phasing out of flashing signs -and over -size nonconforming signs. CITY MANAGER Buford Watson will present reports on the Naismith Ditch greenbelt, Edgewood Homes street lights, and the proposed_ Kansas Power and Light Co. rate increase request to the Kansas Corporation Cmmission.' Watson will sugest that city crews this fall and winter construct dirt paths in the Naismith area and clear the stream bed. He intends to recommend the city not assume maintenance of the Edgewood Homes' lights, but will sug- gest continued financial assistance, in other ways, he con- tinued. In a memo to city commissioners, Watson said the proposed KPL rate increase will have a special effect on the city government, raising the electric bill about 25 per cent. KPLis seeking to have each separate meterfor the city be considered one biliiffg location, and not allowing-4beetty- to consider itself one use, thus reaching the lower rates for bulk use. The school district will be similarly affected. WATSON WILL seek permission to oppose that portion of the rate increase request before the corporation commis- sion. On another matter, resurfacing Sixth Street from Wis- consin to Vermont, Watson said today the state highway commission will give the city $3,000 to assist -in the esti- mated $33,000 project. The city requested $18,000 in aid, however, the state budget was tight, Watson explained. He said he was grateful for the $50,000 in state aid to.be used for adding a fifth lane to 23rd Street and not annoyed at the lower allocation for Sixth Street.

Tuesday's meeting will begin at 2 p.m. in the fourth floor meeting room of city hall, the First National Bank building, Ninth and Massachusetts. Commissioner Barkley Clark proposed a variety of sign ordinance changes several weeks ago including phasing out of flashing signs -and over -size nonconforming signs. CITY MANAGER Buford Watson will present reports on the Naismith Ditch greenbelt, Edgewood Homes street lights, and the proposed_ Kansas Power and Light Co. rate increase request to the Kansas Corporation Cmmission.' Watson will sugest that city crews this fall and winter construct dirt paths in the Naismith area and clear the stream bed. He intends to recommend the city not assume maintenance of the Edgewood Homes' lights, but will sug- gest continued financial assistance, in other ways, he con- tinued. In a memo to city commissioners, Watson said the proposed KPL rate increase will have a special effect on the city government, raising the electric bill about 25 per cent. KPLis seeking to have each separate meterfor the city be considered one biliiffg location, and not allowing-4beetty- to consider itself one use, thus reaching the lower rates for bulk use. The school district will be similarly affected. WATSON WILL seek permission to oppose that portion of the rate increase request before the corporation commis- sion. On another matter, resurfacing Sixth Street from Wis- consin to Vermont, Watson said today the state highway commission will give the city $3,000 to assist -in the esti- mated $33,000 project. The city requested $18,000 in aid, however, the state budget was tight, Watson explained. He said he was grateful for the $50,000 in state aid to.be used for adding a fifth lane to 23rd Street and not annoyed at the lower allocation for Sixth Street.

HAYEK- ' ATTORNEYS'AT LAW.AREA CODE Attached is a lists of pending litigation involving the City. This list includes ,all,litigated items in which the City is a party but does not include case s-__ are being handled solely by our, insurance carriers, small claims cases either for or;against the City in District Court, and routine. ordinance: enforcement";prosecutions. It should be noted that the last of these items, routine ordinance enforcement prosecutions, involves considerable,time;and-work by:thIe assistant city attorneys who prosecute these cases in the courts. These:cases"upon occasion involve appeals to the District ,Court and,';on onesoccasion this year, an appeal to the Supreme Court. '`Every effort isbeing'made to make the prosecutions of these cases efficient .fair, and _prompt in,order that the important work of the Depart- ment of; public Safety and' other,-departm.ents. involved with the enforcement of ordinances -is carried out.,. ­;.,. Several cases have been disposed'of during the first seven months of 1974: by the regular and speciai"counsel for the City. These cases include Alb erhasky'v. City, Smith v: City,Olson v. City, Douglas v. City, Amerex v. - City, and Baculis, V. City. This same period of time saw the filing of seye_ral new law" suits against the 'City. Although I would like to be able to. report that a much greater ,number.: of cases have finally been disposed of, : I am. satisfied -that we are now exercising better control over our litigation. case load"by improved; record keeping systems, and most importantly,by. greater : delegation of responsibility to the City's assistant city attorneys. -This delegation of. -.responsibility is, necessitated by the large number -of ;cases .pending against. the City at any one time. I The work aril responsibility being given to the assistant city attorneys, as iridic above, means that the City must have capable and imaginative attorneys occupying the position of lAssistant City Attorney. We have, I -feel, been fortunate in the: staff that we have had and now have. Unfortunately this year Mr. -,Braun and.Ms. Vollertsen left the City for work elsewhere.'' However, .I feel that we -have been most fortunate in having Tony Kushnir and Bob Bowlin.join the legal department staff as assistant city attorneys Because of the ixrportance'of the work being handled by the assistant city attorneys` -it is`:essential that turnover in legal department personnel be reduced as -much as possible. I think that steps to accomplish this iiclude.`employing persons who are genuinely interested in.municipal and administrative law, providing those persons with opportunities for professional growth and development, and providing compensation that is competitive with the private sector. During the first part of .1974 several -research projects were initiated and carr' d:out by the legal department. These projects include the neighborhood parks study, the' marijuana study, and work in the landlord -tenant area. In 'connection with the landlord -tenant study I am pleased to report that pursuant to'.Council authorization, a law student has been employed =to work with Mr. Kushnir in putting together a report on the authority, of,the Cityin this -area and to draftsomepossible legislation. The demands for legal services have! increased quite considerably. I feel confident;:'however,'that in the foreseeable future we should be able to handle this work4oad w,ithoiut additional staff. This. will result from increasing efficiency of personnel -due to 'greater experience in the area of municipal law, . and -from the adoption'of. more efficient and effective techniques. Also, a great deals:of Bob Bowlin!s time has been taken up with the Human -Relations Commission. Once a human relations coordinator is employed by the City this°demand.on'Mr..Bowlin's time should be con- siderably reduced by switching the investigative responsibilities over to the coordinator. The coming: months will see increased efforts by Mr. Kushnir, Mr. Bowlin and myself in such' areas as . Code enforcement, in conjunction with City staff, and implementation of the State's new Home Rule provisions. In the longer run, I -hope that we, -can, develop a sufficiently effective legal department that we: can spend much more'timethan we are now in the area of preventative legal counseling: Rather than reacting to crisis after crisis we can, through -review of'City,procedures and activities, prevent the problems from developing- 'in the, first place _ a zi as{ _5,���j"r3•r1`-9 Ji�+�e«"i_'� �✓�i "fir. i^y+" k �e ��=>�%��`+.�i.��� t :r est{ r - .. t .� i h f �•v` %�` 3 x �$ v a l 1 4+' ; - K� s C1Ltw' �v�.

The specific sections dealing with open burning,are,27.101 through 27.116 and Appendix E. There are presently two proposed'ordinances that deal with open burning. They are the'Open Burning Ordinance and°:the""Air Pollution Control Ordinance. The major differences between the existing ordinance and the proposed ordinancesare as follows: The Open Burning Ordinance, prohibits open'.burning except in six instances: recreational`purposes'r disposal. of;dangerous.materials, land clearing, grass and leaf disposal, instructional= -purposes, and destroying diseased trees. In each of these instances except for the;recreational=- 11and leaf disposal instances, per- mission from the 'Fire:_Chief _is required -. By the terms of this Ordinance the open burning of trash or rubbish;is prohibited. Such -is not'the.case. with the. -`existing ordinance. The Uniform Fire Code in section 27.101 W- allows for'the maintenance of any "bonfire or rubbish fire" once a permit"is secured from the'"Fire Chief In (c) of that section, the Fire Chief may refuse.to allow such fires when atmospheric conditions make such fires hazardous. Section 27:'101(a) makes no" differentiation as to the different types of open fires and requires .a"permit�in"ail instances of .open fires. In the following sections, the Uniform Fire:Code regulates the attendance, location, maintenance and hours:of open burning._. In addition Appendix E regulates open fires in areas that make., it abnormally difficult of suppressing fires. No such detailed regulations are found in". -the Open Burning ordinance. The proposed ordi- nance prodides for.attedance ;at;leaf'burnings;during such periods as may be authorized by City.Council.resolution but, ;does not"impose any restriction as to location of the fire. Attendance, -,location,.,maintenance and hours of all other open fires is not provided for in•the Open Burning Ordinance. In addition, no standards are set'in the proposed ordinance as to the Fire Chief's granting per- mission for an open fire. The Air Pollution` Control ordinance:liketthe Open Burning ordinance makes a general prohibition of open: fires except -in certain instances. It essentially incorporates all'the- provisions-of-the"Open Burning ordinance in regard to what types of open fires require permits, what:-types`,do not; but unlike the Open Burning ordinance, it`sallows all types ofopen`Ifires provided that permits be secured. It also ;establishes`guidelines'for the issuance or denial of permits for those fires that require permits This ordinance requires permits for all fires except those -used for'cooking food or -for recreational purposes and those ­j­ ;�v 3'z 'z ­ page -2 4" fires set in performance of -an official duty of any public officer for instruc- tional purposes, - :.-prevention`-of fire hazaxds,:.and protection of public health. See section V.D.2.,3.,4. In deciding whether to grant a permit the issuing officer must be satisfied,that certain conditions exist. These are set forth in Section V.D.(l). In addition the permit may be limited by various conditions to protect other property and persons from the effects of the burning. The proposed Air Pollution'Control,Ordinance regulations on open burning modify the regulations set,.up by the Uniform'Fire Code. The proposed ordinance, besides changing -the permit procedure, establishes specific standards as to maintenance'of open fires , For example, there are various standards and tests set forth in the ordinance'for determining -.what constitutes offensive smoke. No such standards are foundin'the Uniform Fire Code. Although the Air Pollution Control Ordinance is not as specific as the.Uniform Fire Code as to location and hours of open burning,'the proposed ordinance allows for special conditions to be imposed upon each permit as circumstances may allow. It is my opinion that.of,the ,three. ordinances, the Air Pollution Control Ordi- nance would be preferred...The open Burning ordinance is vague as to standards and not as comprehensive as the Air Pollution Control Ordinance. The Uniform Fire Code makes permits:mandatory for all open burning including such fires as por- table barbeque grills and campfires. This provision seems unenforceable. The Air Pollution Control ordinance makes this differentiation and yet is not as vague as the Open Burning Ordinance. ..'' DATE= August 5, 1974 TO: Ray S. Wells' City-Manager FROM: Bi11.Nepp1, Administrative Assistant RE: Proposed :Air.' Pollution Control-Ordinance and Proposed Open Burning Ordinance In conju�A nction"with`the Cityttorney's report on the Open Burning Ordinance and the Air Pollution Control Ordinance;',I"did research on costs that would be involved with the enforcement of the Air Pollution Control Ordinance; specifically. My discussions withofficials at. the. University's Environmental Health Services and the State Department`of Environmental Quality indicated the following: 1. The operation of :.equipment and enforcement necessary for Section V. A-," Visible Emissions, would only involve a short period of training ,for the ro 'City's designated contl officer. The State Department of EnvironmentalQuality holds training sessions twice a year for pollution control officers These individuals are cert- ified'by the state after completing-the training program. No cost would`be.involved'fora City. In order for testing against pollution violators to be held valid in a court"of law, the pollution control officer must be certified. 2. The operation of equipment and enforcement necessary for Section V. ,B., "Emission of Particplate'Matter " and Section V. C., "Emissions ,of 'Gases Vapors„nd aOdors,";involves investment in pollution muni- toring equipment Equipinent.,inveatment is directly related to the level of, enforcement the Citywishes to maintain. DEQ officials indicated that costs cam be cut':considerably if the ordinance contains;a clause, puttingthe burden of proof on 'the party or parties suspected of an ordinance violation' DEQ officials indicated that'. two types-of equipment are:usually involved in a local monitoring:effort...'The first is,a High; Volume .Air Sampler which operates simi- lar to a vacuum cleaner, collecting particulate matter,om a filter pad. Iowa City would need four of. these samplers; costing,approximitely $36o 'each. A Tape Sampler would insbe another piece of ::necessary equipment. This is a portable trument used:=for testing spedifiC problem areas,..coating approximately $1,000. Additional equipment -'for monitoring carbon monoxide or sulphur dioxide ranges in cost from $1,%000 to_$6,000 depending, on the City's desired enforcement level. This is not.necessary`..equipaient,_however. Training of a City .pollution control officer for.operating equipment dealing with particulate matter could bearraged either.4hrough'the University's Environ- mental Health Services or"the State DEQAswithvisible emission monitoring, an individual from the Fire Department could serve as-`the local pollution control officer.
