Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 14 SOUTH LINN STREET IOWA CITY. IOWA 52240 October, 2, 1974 Re: Community Development and Housing -Act meeting Ralston 'Creek -problem Dear Mayor Czarnecki & Council Members: Due to certain conflicts, I am unable to attend your meeting on the above. As you,know,jam personally quite concerned about the Ralston Creek problem and since I expect it will be discussed, I am writing this letter. As a homeowner wh-. has personally cleaned up after the problem on several occasions over,the last 12 years, I am quite sympathetic to the concerns of many other citizens about this problem. I do feel it -is impo . rtant to point out at this time that there is no simple solution to the Ralston Creek problem. Some people seem to feel that some dredging of the channel in a limited way will solve the problem. This'.overlooks in my-opInion, the magnitude of the creek problem. If you will examine the only detailed report on this aspect of the creek solution, the report done by the Corp of Engineers in 1966, you will see,thatto control the flooding by improving the channel, the Corp of Engineers predicts1the need for a 40 foot wide channel on the main channel at the bottom of the creek. This would mean an even wider channel -at thetop of :the creek. They also suggest 20 to 30 feet widths on -the north.and south forks. Suchan improvement, if the corp's figures are correct, would mean that it would be'necessaryjor the City to acquire a substantial amount of real-estate from private property owners along the creek, A solution thatI am not sure many people along the creek realize may be necessary or are..willing to agree to. 31 gY I arneckY Co be2 'Pur be w d ng they, t uncYZ rre�bers • ong be nz od oThere I y- as'ac Of Y c Yn Zy Th66 e re�Ogriyr�e�Y Z>�al ort el ROC st ' cera R 18 This �s es by' the pU o1 .Yn ths1and R char b to be th C712 R Yd ae�are ° b1Yc.&(I A°Z.b r Yt 3Y1-toa� edges d°ae at thYs Per", - YacZ f rhe rks ?fie hys c: Aub1 wjZ-ZCZ and c that: I et thYs-figure rO erlicle q'9rk Sr•°f.

Mayor Czarnecki & Council.Members Further, the`Corp,has accurately.stated_that bridges and culverts belonging_to the City and.. to the;Rock,Island,Railroad;will also have to be widened. There:is data on file ins the City's, Public Works Department on the flood of;, July 17,-1972, to,'support'this conclusion, and it has long been recognized by the.Public Works Department and City administration. The Corp,`s estimate of the' _,cos t of the.project was $3,200,000 plus in 1966. This--did'-not include'work•needed in what was then designated as the R-18:-Urban`Renewal Project area. 'Based ,upon rising costs, I am certain that this 'figure .must be increased at least 25% or more if it was to be done at this; -time. I submit this letteronly in an effort to point out to the Council that: - 1. -Thereis no inexpensive short range answer to this problem. 2. That the final solution whatever it may be will involve_a'great deal of.money.- 3: >'That hopefully the Council will agree with me that there are many things,'that need to beexplored and. done. I would submits however, that there needs to be considerable attention given to,this'problem byvthe Council and the'-staff and that as I have stated before, I feel_that the Council:has not given the problem the consideration it has deserved',in.the past Respectfully submitted, ay Honohan JHH:jc i • r . 1 "s�M1"k4 y i s t+.s t1 +r 4t K t 1 y t_ pr,K•.il -t s P t✓ n�. � � _ ) 1 1` A\[.

Community CV of Iowa City Development Act of 1974 Iowa" City, Iowa We should like to urge the Council. members to try to obtain whatever federal funds maybeavailable to t$e City of. Iowa City from the Rousing and Community Development Act of 1974 and to apply a large portion of those .funds to the improvement and expansion of the city's highly inadequate sewer system. The installation.and .Mai nte-pance of a sewage system is one of the largest and most basic services that'a governmental unit provides all of its citizens and therefore it should have'=top""pr,iorty when :funds from any source are allocated and apportioned. There is no dispute between the Council and the citizens that Iov,ra. City's sewer systems, presently at inadequate; thit has been for. many years, and that _ it presents a health hazard to the community because of its extensive sewage backups into homes and businesses and because of the pumping and. overflow of sewage into yards and public streets. For years the citizens have been told that',the main problem ha.s been the lack of funds -for ar comprehensive -server •project. -Ohe Housing and Community Devel— opment Act of 1974 might, solve that:'problem for us if we will intelligently and diligently apply for the funds it offers. nonetheless, while vie await a reply<:from'the federal government, we should use whatever available local and -.state funds vie have -to improve and maintain the sewer system properly iriCorder -to reduce the health problems that might occur in the community as a result.of its.ma"Ifunction.

IOWA, CITY, IOWA 52240 319354-1800 October 2, 1974 Iowa City City Council and Mayor Czarnecki Civic Center Dear City Council Members: The Housing Commission is looking forward to the development of'62 units of low rent housing for the elderly that has been funded by the present Section 23 Housing Assistance Payments Program for new construction. These 62 units barely touch the surface in terms Of the need for low cost housing. There are cities of comparable populations that have 200 or 300 units in operation. The Housing Commission recommends that the Housing Authority (City Council) establish the following priorities for future housing assistance plans or programs. 1. Elderly to include disabled and handicapped. 2. Low income non -elderly families excluding those whose head of household or spouse are full time students. 3. Others to include student families. The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (HCD) requires applicants for grants to provide a three year community development plan. A part of this plan is the community's plans for providing housing assistance. To fullfill the need and follow the priorities noted above the Housing Commission recommends that as soon as possible after the HCD 1974 is funded and implemented the Housing Authority apply for an additional allocation for 100 - 120 units for the elderly. A portion of these units to be congregate units. This to be followed by 80 - 100 units for non -elderly. This group to be re -habilitated units with some provision for home ownership. These recommendations are minimum numbers for planning purposes. The HCD 1974 provides an excellent opportunity for each community to decide for themselves which things should have highest priority. We believe a decent safe and sanitary dwelling for all residents of the city should receive first Priority in the community development plan. To prepare ourselves and better understand housing developments, members of the Housing Commission have visited several cities and viewed their actions in meeting housing problems. Cedar Rapids - Geneva Towers, 119 units for elderly. Non-profit sponsored. Hawthorne Hills, 202 units for elderly and non -elderly. 221 D3 financing and non-profit sponsored. The city administers 220 units Section 23 leased housing and there are others in the city. Ottumwa - Population 29,000, 300 units conventional Public housing in operation five years. Burlington - Population 33,000, 201 units conventional Public housing in operation four years. These are pointed out as specific examples of communities that have taken positive action. The programs under which they built their units are no longer in existance. They did not succeed by sitting back and re -studying the problem. The continuing increase in cost of housing, food and other necessities of life is most crunching on the low income elderly, handicapped and disabled. The Housing Commission urges all the residents of this fine city to join with us in meeting our responsibilities to see that this group is provided with housing within their financial needs. In closing it is pointed out that both Burlington and Ottumwa have established Low Rent Housing Agencies (Housing Commissions) which act as the Housing Authority. Here in Iowa City the Housing Commission only makes recommendations. Regardless ofwho is the Authority we need housing assistance in Iowa City now. We ask the City Council and all the residents of the city to take positive action towards meeting the need.

J. DANIEL VICE PRESIDENT -DISTRICTS September 30, 1974 Dear Customer: We filed amended electric and gas rate schedules with the Iowa State Commerce Commission in conjunction with the proceedings of Docket u-483 on September 20, 1974. These new rates are designed to produce approximately 3.0 percent (or $1,625,000) of additional annual gas revenue and 7.8 percent (or $3,660,000) of additional annual electric revenue. We have asked the Commission to permit us to put the new rates into effect on October 31, 1974. The amount of the proposed increase depends upon the type of service (residential, commercial or industrial) and the amount of electricity and gas you use. On the average, the rates we have filed would increase the price for residential customers using electricity by about $1.48 per month, or ab$Ot38 , per month, and for residential customers using gas by or 2 percent. The electric increase applicable to most commercial and industrial customers would be about 8 percent, and the gas increase from about 2 percent to 3 percent. The Company's costs of providing electric and gas service have continued to rise under increasing pressures of inflation, increasingly demanding environmental standards, and continuing gas supply problems. It is necessary for us to seek increased revenues through higher rates to reversethe downward o financial obligations trend of our associa- earnings to enable us to meet the heavy ted with providing for present and future service requirements of our customers. If you have any questions or want additional information about the proposed increase, please contact our business office (telephone 338-9781) and we will be happy to help you. We expect the Iowa State Commerce Commission to hold a public hearing to consider our request. You may file with the Commis- sion (Valley Bank Building, Des Moines, Iowa 50319) written objection to our proposed increases and may request that a public hearing be held to determine if they should be allowed. We regret having to increase our rates but believe our electric and gas service will still be among your best bargains.

CJ 3 October 1974 Mr. Dennis Kraft Acting City Manager Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mr. Kraft: The city council recently asked the Johnson County Commission on Environmental Quality to compare the proposed Open Burning ordinance proposed by the Commission with similar legislation incorporated in the fire code. At the meeting of 25 September the commission discussed the matter and concluded that the following points of difference are both pertinent and significant: (1) The applicable section of the fire code relies on citizen complaint for enforcement. The proposed ordinance makes it the duty of the regular law enforcement agency, the police. The commission feels very ntrongly that law 1±nforcement nhould not depr;nd on a comflict aituation betwenn citizenn. (2) The proposed ordinance from C.E.Q. allows for periods when burning could be permitted, at the discretion of the city council. It is foreseen that this might be of advantage in the fall leaf raking period for example, if fuel for hauling is in short supply. (3) The inclusion of the regulations on open burning in the fire code seems to C.E.Q. to be an unlikely place for the average citizen to look for such regulations. C.E.Q.recommends that the regulations be made a part of the regular city code and included in the appropriate index. For the Johnson County Commission on Environmental Quality. Arthur F.

N DICK CLARK IOWA '�JCa�ifeb Zfafe!'a Z_enCtfe WASHINGTON, D.C. 20510 October 1, 1974 Mr .Edgar Czarnecki, Mayor City of Iowa City Civic Center 410 E. Washington St. Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Ed: COMMIITEEB� AGRICULTURE PUBLIC WORKS SELECT COMMITTEE ON SMALL BUSINESS Thank you for your letter supporting S. 386, the Minish-Williams Emergency Mass Transit Act. The bill is back in Conference Committee after having been re- committed to the House of Representatives. The Conference Committee will meet later this week or early next week. I share your support for well funded mass transit legislation and hope that the Committee will report out a good substantial bill. Unfortun- ately, in this session of Congress, the Senate will not have the opportunity to support a comprehensive mass transit bill, more inclusive than this emergency provision. But funds are urgently needed for the maintainence and development of mass transit as provided in S. 386. I am concerned about the future of mass transit legislation because of Administration opposition. This opposition is strongly mirrored in the House vote for S. 386. The House opposes such a large part of the appropriation going to New York City, wanting to spread more of the funds across the nation, and opposes such a large figure for the total appropriation in the bill. I hope that the Congress can act on this mass transit provision before the end of the session and is able to pass the Conference Committee bill until more comprehensive legislation can be drafted. Thanks again for your comments and support. Best wishes. Sincerely, Dick Clark DC/tl U. S. Senate � -, -� -, .' - _­'�_'-�-7"--_�"_v'._ �'��-;�'.J.�­'­ - - ---'�L"� ��111" "-'�m;A;ISP ­'Jz� _�;"��';'- - ll-,:.- 4"-", 1 , ' .

Yesterday evening the President met with a delegation of Mayors, business and labor leaders, headed by Mayors Alioto, Beame and Daley, on this subject. At that meeting, the President again strongly reaffirmed his support for immediate Congressional action on a long-term, comprehensive transportation bill which would include limited operating assistance. This type of legislation was submitted to the Congress in February by the Administration, and in the President's September 13th Message to Congress of "must do" bills this session, it was included as a high priority item. The House has passed a long-term bill which contains funding levels at the upper limit of what would be acceptable to the Administration - $11 billion over six years. There have been companion bills filed in the Senate since June, but so far, there has been no Senate action. The President stressed to the Mayors that he could not support a stop -gap short-term bill primarily for operating subsidies, such as the Williams-Minish Bill (S.386). Instead, the President refused to accept any excuses that Congress could not act now on the long-term bill and promised that he would work with the Mayors for immediate passage of the long-term transit bill which our nation's cities so desperately need. To this end, the President has agreed to meet with a delegation of Mayors and key Senators next week in an effort to get this needed legislation. We remain convinced that if the Senate acts promptly on a long-range bill, a compromise is possible between the House and Senate and an acceptable bill can result, which the President would be able to sign. 2 Thank you very much for expressing your views to the President and we welcome your assistance in this effort to achieve responsible transit legislation this year.

DAVENPORT;IOWA - Iowa CRY HOME �n OF UNIVERSITY OF IOWA------ October 3 1974 Edgar Czarnecki, Mayor City of Iowa City Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mayor Czarnecki, Commerce P.O. BOX 673 IOWA CITY, IOWA 52240 PHONE 337-9637 From information received from our representative at Council meet- ings, there seems to be quite a bit of misunderstanding relative to stickers for conventioneers. Our proposal, which was deemed accept- able by Ray Wells, is as follows: 1. That stickers be good only on the day or days stamped. 2. That we would pay the City 104t per sticker for all stickers issued, whether used or not. 3. That stickers would be good in any parking area, in- cluding on street meters. This is a common practice in all cities we know of, where conventions are held and is done primarily as a public relations gesture to make the convention people feel they are being treated in a first class manner by the City. It appears to us that the City will be more than adequately compen- sated for parking spaces used under this system. If you should have further questions please contact the undersigned.

Plastino, Director of Public Works Hot Mix Resurfacing of Summit Street Attached is a Memo from George Bonnett to Ray Wells with an explanation of our criteria for resurfacing streets. At the time of the survey, Summit Street from Kirkwood to Burlington was designated as a "B".street; however, recent observation of this street indicates it should be reclassified as an "A" since it is presently disintegrating under warm weather traffic and will present a_particular maintenance problem this winter. .I am recommending we resurface Summit Street to the extent of the funds available, which would allow us to,resurface from Burlington to Bowery and from the railroad bridge on south ,to Kirkwood. I had originally anticipated that approximately $30;000 - would be available for hot mix resur acing; however, final cost accounting reveals that $eTIMO will be available. This °pO will be the approximate cost of the above mentioned resurfacing on Summit Street and this explains why we are not doing the entire street._ I might mention that Burlington from Summit to Muscatine was categorized as a,type "D" street which suggests the street is structurally sound, although it is rough to ride. The suggestion was also made at the last Council meeting that Linn Street be resurfaced and I would have to agree with this recommendation, but in light of the limited funds available this fall, I would suggest that it be deferred until the resurfacing program begins next Spring. ' r1]1 o TO: FROM: RE: ■ �IRMNOi DATE: Ray S. Wells, Ctty Manager 1 UM - June 27, 1974 George R: Bonnett, Acting Director of Public Works Resurfacing Selection Procedure The purpose of this Memorandum is to provide information for response to a citizen inquiry concerning our procedure for selecting streets to be.included in the resurfacing program. The following procedure was followed: 1. All citizen complaints concerning rough roads have been placed into a file during the latter part of 1973 and the early part of 1974. 2. The Street Superintendent prepared a list of all streets which he felt were in need of resurfacing. 3. The two lists were combined and placed according to their functional classification of arterial, collector and residential. 4. Each street was inspected by the Acting Director of`Public.Works along with the Assistant to the City Engineer. During this inspection the street was assigned a letter designation as follows: A - Street surface will in all probability become unserviceable during the winter of 1974/1975 B - Street in need of repair, however, will in all probability remain serviceable with heavy -maintenance during the winter of 1974/1975 C - Street surface rough and.in need of surface repair, however, structurally adequate to last through the winter of 1974/1975 D - Street surface'in need of repair, however, in all probability adequate to last through the winter of 1979/1976. 5. A cost estimate was then made and checked against the available monegs from the Road Use Tax Fund. 0 LJ 7. A recommendation was prepared as to what streets were to be resurfaced to fall inside the confines of the financial perameters. The City Manager, Acting Director of Public Works and the Assistant to the City Engineer then drove each of the streets included in this program. 8. After approval of the City Manager, plans and specifications were prepared for Council approval. I trust the above procedure will be helpful to you in drafting a response to the inquiry add should we be able to provide any additional assistance to you please don't hesitate to contact me. nnneast ;central . iowa association of regional planning commissions 332 E.

The essential criterion is that any proposed bike trail or pedestrian walkway be located in logical contact with a federally - funded primary, secondary, or urban system road. In the case of primary roads, any bike trails or walkway projects must be completed within existing rights-of-way. However, in the case of the other two categories, trails may be developed outside of the normal rights- of-way. The reasoning is that_ the proposed trails excompass bicycle or pedestrian traffic that would normally utilize federally -funded secondary or urban system roads.., The Iowa Conservation Commission is the reviewing authority for these projects. This is a very new program and one in which there will un- doubtedly be some holdups.in;implementing. If you are aware of any possible projects in your area,..please contact: Iowa Conservation Commission 300 Fourth Street Des Moines, Iowa 50319 Action: Mr. Jim Scheffler (515) 281-5814 CITY BUDGETING CLASSES By now your community should be in receipt of a letter from the State Comptroller's Office detailing the schedules for classes on inf ormation t newsletter The new city budgeting procedures..

Kraft Actinq City Manager 10/7/74 To: Dennis Kraft Acting City Manager Re: Budget Discussion Among the items to be discussed at the Council work session of October 7 should be the operation of the transit system and the financial consequences of;the continued deficit in this activity. In preparing for such a discussion the attached schedules were developed to give a*financial perspective of the system to date. After reveiwing this data it would be my recommendation that we once again put forward to the Council a proposal for an increase in the fare structure to `twenty-five (25) cents effective January 1, 1975. In making this recommendation the following points have been considered: 1. Costs for the operation of the system continue to advance faster than our ability to manage adequate funding without impairing the financial support of other activities in the Transportation Program. As the schedules indicate, it will take $55,861 in property tax in 1974 to make up the deficit from operations when only $26,993 is available. This problem will increase during ,the first 6 months of 1975 because the tax .levy is fixed, and will put increased pressure on . available balances. An increase in revenue'production would eliminate this particular situation for the short run and would begin to reduce the fund balance deficit that now exists. 2. The Council has plannedan additional expansion of the system and has applied for federal aid to assist with such expansion. For equipment acquisition alone, the local share of the capital cost will be at least $65,000 which so far has not been identified. In addition, future operating deficits are predictable to a degree that an additional tax levy over 30 mills will be required in.fiscal year 1976 to support the level of service anticipated. It would seem desirable to require fare paying passengers to take a greater equity position in supporting future operations. 3. In considering the effects of a fare increase we have concluded that no decrease in, ridership below the 1,500,000 rides anticipated for 1974 would take place. At 25¢, an additional $150,000 could be generated on an annual basis under this assumption. When balanced against the current and anticipated cost of operation; and the present rate of inflation, this increase does not seem out of line'. It should be pointed out that the cost per passenger has increased from 27� in 1972 to a projected 36� for the first six months of 1975 without a corresponding increase in the 1971 ratio of passenger revenue to costs. Maintanance of the same ratio would indicate a fare of 24�. To lessen the burden of this increase and those of fixed income it would be our suggestion that consideration be given to providing free rides to persons over 65 between the hours of 10:00 AM and 2:30 PM. I'm sure the Chamber will continue the Ride 'N' Shop program at;the higher rate thereby providing additional support to those dependent on the bus for shopping purposes. Other means can be considered and we could explore them with Steve if appropriate. If you have any questions in this regard please do not hesitate to contact me. .B.
