INFORMAL DISCUSSION
NOVEMBER 5, 1974
4:00 PA
The Iowa City City Council met in informal session
on the 5th day of November, 1974 at 4:00 P.m. in the
Conference Room at the Civic Center. Councilmembers
present: Brandt, Czarnekci, Davidsen, deProsse, White.
P bsent: None. Staff members present: Plastino, Hayek,
graft, Pugh,-Stolfus, Wollmershauser, Maune, Neppl.
Regional Planning:' Hilgenberg.
Mayor Czarnecki announced discussion of: 1) Section
208, Water Quality Management Program, 2) Report on
Ralston Creek, 3) Report on Greyhound Bus Depot reloca-
tion, 4) Discussion of future bond issues, 5) Executive
Session to discuss appointment to the Human Relations
Commission.
The Mayor noted receipt of a letter from Regional
Planning and a report from the National Association of
Regional Councils and commented that the Council needed
to determine if the City is interested in the Section
208 Water Quality Management Program and in selecting
the planning agency. The Staff commented on their inter-
pretation of the applicability to Iowa City. Mr. Hilgen-
berg advised that the Rathbun area had applied and that
Mr. Zeigler of Kansas City Environmental Protection Agency
would come to Iowa City for discussion. Director ..-•f Public
Works Dick Plastino asked that the City look at the
implications carefully.
One suggestion was for the Staff to investigate alter-
natives, and if we can afford to be involved. Director
of FinanceJoePugh stated that the decision on this pro-
ject was important because of the evaluation study in
capital improvements program in the same two year period.
The Mayor noted that the Council realizes the complex-
ity of the program and that more review and recommendations
forthcoming would be helpful.
The second item discussed was Ralston Creek. The
Mayor noted receipt of the Dept. of Public Works report.
Dir. Plastino explained the methodology used for the
report, assumptions for calculations, results of calcu-
lations, analysis, cost and behefits of cleaning and
dredging Ralston Creek and conclusions and recommendations.
Council discussed what other cities do with similar
problems; buying equipment to do the work; problem of
ground water and sewer as per Grissel letter; Univer-
sity roof drains; charging fees for discharge of storm

water into sewer system; easements, liability for dredging,
obtained by group; appointment of Councilperson to work
with the Ralston Creek Action Group; possibility of
using Housing and Community Development funds for planning
for bridges.
Mayor Czarnecki noted a general concensus by the
Council to preceed with the cleaning of Ralston Creek.
Acting City Manager Dennis Kraft summarized that the
Ralston Creek Action Group point #1 was the report;
#2, if bridges were planned, other work would have to
be delyaed, also covered in the report; t3, it was the
concensus of the Council to proceed on the drafting
of an ordinance amending the Subdivision ordinance con-
cerning storm water retention; 114, the Dept. of Public
Works and the Army Corp of Engineers descussed the Urban
Studies Program and the Section 1205' of the 1948 Flood
Control Act. Under '205' the Corp could study two alter-
natives: if diversion tunnel and dam, and 2) moving
structures out of the floodway; T5, a service request
procedure is in force, but suggested that someone in
the City Manager's office could handle grievances as
we do not have a public relations director. He commen-
ted that Follow-up action ¥1 was premature, as the
Council hadn't decided what they wanted to do; :�2 the
City Attorney should answer; r3, Road Use Tax could not
be used to clean the entire creek, just areas around the
bridges, could use General Obligation Bonds or Special
Assessment.
Dir. Kraft stated that the Staff had met with Mr. Spel-
man concerning the bus depot location at the NE corner
of Gilbert and College streets, and Mr. Spelman requested
being allowed to remain until January 2nd at his present
location. Council discussed the timetable for the demoli-
tion project, length of term of the lease, and subsidy for
the bus depot. It was the concensus of the Council to have
the Staff notify Mr. Spelman to vacate his quarters at the
Burkley Hotel by December lst.
The Mayor announced discussion of bond issues. Dir.
Pugh stated that the Staff proposed that another look
be taken at the plans for the Service Building before
designing or remodeling, in order to decide which functions
the City should provide, and suggested a consultant be
hired. Council discussed the UMPTA grant, previous action
on the service building and freezing of contract with Han-
son Lind & Meyer, and decided that the Staff should inves-
tigate consultants to proceed as they had suggested.'
