IOWA 52240 //j/31BJ54-IBM To: Mayor Brandt, Members of City Council, City Manager From: James Lindberg, Chairman Parks F, Recreation Commission Subject: Hickory Hill Park I understand that studies 'are underway within the City Administration investigating alternative means of flood control along Ralson Creek: One of the plans undercon is'the Soil Conservation Service proposal for a large "reservoir dam on each of the two branches of Raiston Creek. ',Inasmuch as the dam on the North Branch would seriowly'affect Hickory Hill Park,'I`feel it;essential that the Commission make its views known. "Accordingly,"at our December 13 'meeting, the Commission approved the following statement: "Hickory Hill Park has been developed as 'a "nature"presarve" park. Within its steep'slopes and ravines, the ;naturally .occurring ,p1 i and animal life (birds, small animals, wild. flowers, etc.) are left', as undistrubed as possible. It is the only park in the community that has this character. As such, it serves two community needs that are not'well;met by other park and leisure -time facilities. One of these are the needs of the, elderly citizens and others for a place to walk and observe nature. Many, of these persons are not able to,drive the long distances to 'state run forest and game, preserves. Hickory Hill Park, accessible as it is to the y community, seems to fulfill areal neen for citizens at all seasons of the year. Sev- eral'have expressed what an "absolute delight" having a park such as Hickory Hill in Iowa City is. 4 The other group making special use of Hickory Hill are the young Girl and Boy Scout groups, Campfire Girls, nature classes, etc. The. Parks and Recreation Department itself has an active ,program of nature walks and wild life appreciation conducted in the Park by Bruno Schielzeth, Parks Superintendent. " The Commission fully recognizes the necessity of doing something aUout'flooding' along lower Ralston Creek. If the cost/benefit analyses show that the SCS proposal is justified, the Commission would fully support the inevitable changes in the; ecology and hence in the use of Hickory Hill Park. However, in making these cost/benefit.judg- ments we would point out that the creation of another water -oriented park facility is not high on the Commission's priority list. Iowa City resident's are indeed fortunate in already having a number of these kinds of parks - Lake NkBride,`Coralville Reservior, the lakes existing and proposed for Kent Park, etc. Improvements and expansion in the rec- reation potential. of these reservior-lake-•Cacilities are now in various stages of planning. � .' i I ',! .... � ..

WASHINGTON61 N sT.CcM W6ezITYA IOWA 52240 719.354-I800 Department of Urban Renewal One East College December 8, 1972 Mr. ,Richard T..Feddersen President,,R-.14 Project Area Committee c/o 'NallMotors Route One West Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear. Mr. Feddersen: At the last meeting of the R-14 Project Area Committee (PAC) on October 17, 1972, clarification of certain points pertain- ing to relocation were forwarded to this office for clarifica- tion. Some of these points can be answered by our office personnel, but on others, we felt we should seek the advice and assistance of HUD. We have written HUD and received a response to our letter. By this letter, we wish to transmit HUD's responses, as well as ours to those points to which we feel competent enough to respond. In our attempt to make an orderly and understandable presenta- tion of the response to the PAC's questions, we are enclosing the following: 1. A copy of the minutes in which the specific pointe were recorded; 2. A copy of our letter of October 19, 1972, to the HUD Omaha Area Office; 3. A copy of HUD's response dated November 6, 1972; 4. Copies of responses from the Relocation Handbook cited in HUD's' response. You will note that HUD's letter of November 6, 1972, did not really respond to any of our queries. We also 'call to your attention the last sentence of the first paragraph on page 2 which says, in part, that all future requests for interpretation of relocation rules and regulations should be IT without personal complications." This point was reiterated in another ' Tetter from HUD regarding Mr. Robert Leger. The point was not only reiterated, but emphasized, and I feel should be brought: to your attention. A sentence from that letter, and I doubt that it could be taken out of context, reads as follows: "Since this office deals only with regulations, all personal implications should be kept out of future correspondence." The Department of Urban Renewal cannot and will not adopt such a cavalier attitude regarding the displacement of those affected by the urban renewal process. We are more concerned with People than regulations. This does not mean that we will tolerate aFuses of the regulations or the intent of the "Muskie" Bill which would result in an abdication of our responsibility in the administra- tion of public funds. It does mean, however, that without any more guidance from the federal government than what we have been ---gettlng we shall assume the responsibility of administering the relocation rules and regulations on a case DY case basis. For example we do not consider a person who moves out of a property which the Local Public Agency owns, eligible solely because that person a) does not like his dwelling unit, or b) because it happens to be the end of the school semester. This, in our minds,; is not a move . . as a result of acquisition of real property.". ." as the law and regulations state, but as a result of personal desire.on the other hand, we consider most businesses who move from property owned by the LPA as eligible for relocation payments and assistance because we assume that most businesses would stay in their present location were it not for the downtown renewal project. In other words, we assume that they are moving ". . . as a result of 'acquisition of real proper ty. . " and not because they are desireous of a new location. We are not out to "hassle" anyone, commercial or residential tenant, as I'think our track record to date indicates. We will, however, continue to follow policies which we feel are in the fiscal and administrative best interests of the entire community and our contract with ,the federal government. To this point,this letter has been addressed to the first two issues raised by PAC. The other two issues can be answered by referring to'the'Relocation Handbook. Comparable replacement dwelling is define in apter—f Kppendix 2 of the Handbook. A copy of the cited' reference is enclosed. With regar to t e term of relocation payments (e.g. rental assistance payments) may be made for up to four years. The Handbook also infers that certain payments may be made even if a person moves from the city ,or the state. While we regret the absence of clear-cut responses to these very es Mr. Richard T. Feddersen -3- December 8, 1972 Iowa City, Iowa valid issues, we nonetheless cannot operate without any guide- L As stated before, without more specific help from HUD, do our utmost to insure fair and equitable treatment all those to be displaced.

The City Staff position was that the City should not expend funds j' for an improvement at the entrance of a private facility, and i, that minimum requirements had not been met to receive it:ighway I Commission approval, also the City would be setting a precedent. i' if: they participated in the cost. After discussion, the Council decided that the Staff should meet with University representa- tives and Mr. :Brown to discuss the problem further. I` Director of Public Works Ralph Speer reported on the request: for a 4 -way stop at the intersection of Melrose Avenue and 6 DSormon Trek 'Blvd., and stated that there was not sufficient justification for changing to a 4 -way -stop.

In a multi -room apartment is the moving allow - ante determined by the number of rooms, the number of pieces of furniture to be moved or a combination of both? 2. Clarification of the time determination as to when a tenant is eligible for relocation pay- ment and when can he move. 3. what is comparable housing? Is the convenience of a downtown' location taken into consideration? What about the cost of transportation from a distant location to the downtown 4rea? Is.a tenant required to take a distant location when offered by the Urban Renewal Department? 4. How long dees *.:he '., ance and under what circumstances? Does moving out of town or out of the state disqualify rental assis- tance? We would like to have these and other items discussed and clarified in the hope of avoiding another conflict such as we now have in the Leger case. Discussion followed: Mr. Braverman said that the Subcommittee had found that many areas of disagreement in this particular case realistically occurred because things were done orally that might better have been done in writing. He said perhaps there should be more written documents on how to deal with relocatees in order to avoid all this misunderstanding. Mr. Feddersen stated that the Project Area Committee is only empoweree to make a recommenda- tion, and cannot make a final decision on this case. He added that a key part of this is to try to prevent a repetition of these misunderstandings. Mr. Linder agreed and said that this was the reason for the questions in the supplement to the Relocation- Rehabilitation Subcommittee's report. Mr. Klaus stated that there were, in his opinion, three issues instead of two. The question of eligibility was the first question Urban Renewal had on this particular case.

In one case, a person .__ living in a building owned by the LPA visited our office one day to inforn us that he wanted to move because he did not like the condition of his apartment. He 'lived in the unit for at - least 34 months 'but. decided to move only after we had obtained title to the'property.l Did he.desire to move "as a rasuZt o� acquisition" or because he did•_not,like the condition of ,his anartmant? This instance, when contrasted to case a.), cited in the nen0- randu,„ from our legal counsel, indicates the wide variance of cases that a relocation advisor may be faced with. It appears to us that the criterion of eligibility '!as a rasuZt o7 aeai- sitior." has to be determined; in.large measure, by the personly to be'relocated. This 'being the case, we find it increaino difficult to treat all persons to be relocated in exactlyy same ,;tanner.' This entire question-of`eligibility as a',rasuZ� op' ceeuisitior.", is rendered more complex in a community with highiy mobile persons, most of whom are mOvirg as a result of the schedule established by the University of Iowa.

(Soe Section 1 of this Chapter, paragraph 4d.) Q. May moving expense payments be made to more than one person,: displaced from the same real property but who occupied the structure at different times? A. If'Family A moves after receiving a notice of intent to acquire the property they occupy, they may be eligible for a reloca- tion payment for moving expenses. If Family B moves into the vacated unit before acquisiton, and moves after it acquired, they may be eligible for a relocation payment for moving ex- penses. Either family may also be eligible for, replacement housing payments, if they meet the specific eligibli;y require- ments for the payment. OQ A A. 8. Q. A In calculating the fixed payment for moving expenses, how are the root's to be counted? The room count for a fixed payment for moving expenses is based on the number of rooms occupied by the claimant plus one addi- tional room, where appropriate, to allow for articles stored in garages, attics,, cellars or other storage space. If two individuals are displaced from a single unit, may one file a claim for actual moving expenses and the other for a fixed payment and Dislocation Allowance? Yes. One individual may file a claim for actual moving expen- ses and the other for a fixed payment and Dislocation Allow- ance. In such case, the,latter individual would be entitled to the full fixed payment and Dislocation Allowance. On the. other hand, if both joint occupants elect to file for a fixed payment and Dislocation Allowance, the total amount of the payment cannot exceed $300 for moving expenses and a $200 Dis- location Allowance. However, if each elects to receive actual moving expenses, each individual shall receive such payments. (For families, see Question No. 9 below.) Is there any limitation on the amount a family or individual may receive as a relocation payment for moving expenses? There is no limitation on the amount of a relocation payment for actual (documented) moving expenses for a family or indi- vidual. A fixed payment for moving expenses, however, has a statutory limitation o $300, plus the $200 Dislocation Allowance. • Q.

Apparently, when this road was paved, it was moved east, as a survey made by the City Engineer, J. G. Watkins in 1913, shows a distance of 185 feet to the street. According to records in the city offices, a special assessment was made, which also indicates that this distance is 185 feet, and apparently indicates that the J. C. Watkins survey was correct. Because of this,,,there .may"be an overlapping of this property into the street as originally platted, but it would appear to me that since the street is now established and paved The City would have no interest in this property and could executed the Quit Claim Deed to this description withoutaffecting the City in any way. This matter has gone on a long time and the people are anxious to have the matter closed. The only other althrnative would be to commence a Quiet Title action, which we wish to avoid. If it is possible to take this matter up with the City Council. at your Friday meeting, I would appreciate if very much. INF ORMATIN FOR APPLICATION' FOR SUSPENSIOIT"OF TAXES.

Bonnett visited with Mrs. Early and she advised him that she felt the culvert was of an inadequate size, thus causing the backup'of water which flooded their basement.', A capacity check using Talbolts formula indicates that the 6 ft. x 5 ft. culverCis of sufficient size using a runoff coefficient of 0.66. This coefficient is conservative with respect to probable development in the 164 acre drainage basin. Using a hand level Mr. Bonnett noticed the top of the opening for the culvert on Arbor Drive is level with a point approximately 3 feet above the basement floor of Mrs. Early's home and with the ening of the culvert on Shamrock Drive. Based on this infotop of the oprmation it is our feeling that the culvert on Arbor Drive is of adequate 'size. However, it should be noted that for the ther culvert to reach its capacity bars. Early's house androximately ut r3ofeet. homes in the area would be flooded to a depth of app It should also be pointed out that the culverts'; were in place before any of the above mentioned houses were built. 71 q CITY OF IOWA CITY No. Q 369 SERVICE REQUEST IOWA CITY.

Prohibiting aleft -turn at this location would result in left turning, traffic having to, drive south to Lower Muscatine Road and then making a "U" turn at the intersection of First Avenue and Lower Muscatine. It is rather obvious that this would certainly increase the congestion at that intersection. In' view of the fact that this poor drive location will be improved after the First Avenue Realignment Project is completed it is, recommended' that the left turn prohibition not be adopted at this time. ■ t` 4 SERVICE) REQUEST CITY OF IOWA CITY No. Q 121 IOWA CITY, IOWA Doh_ m IyZZ AM Time 12. )0 r0in How Received, Phone ❑ P Letter ❑ \.

Speer, Jr., Director of Public Works From: George R. Bonnett, Assistant City Engineer Subject: Parking Restrictions on Hudson Avenue and Keswick Streets Per the attached letter dated December S, 1972, our Traffic Engineer made an inspection of the intersection of Keswick and'illestgate. Due to poor sight distance I recommend that we prepare a7 o t' n for Council action removing parking from the west side of W�!ircfor a distance of 120 feet from the intersection. This proposed restriction is shown on the attached sketch prepared by Mike Hunzinger. Per the attached service request No. A121, an investigation was conducted at the intersection of West Benton and Hudson. ,Parking is currently prohibited at any time on the east side of Hudson Avenue which is 25 feet in width. -Sight distance would be somewhat restricted by a vehicle parked immediately adjacent to the corner on the west side of Hudson. No problems are evident,at this location which are not present at all other local -arterial intersections of similar, width. I recommend that any action with respect to this intersection be made applicable to all similar intersections. Section 6.16.2 B of the Municipal Code prohibits parking within 15 feet of the intersection of the curb lines at an intersection. In that our normal radius in residential areas is 17-1/2 feet, I feel that we should increase this 15 foot restriction to 25 feet. The parking policy discussion by the Council currently underway might be an opporiun6,time to present a recommendation to this effect. If you should have any questions concerning this Memorandum please do not hesitate to contact me. • MINUTES The Iowa City Planning & Zoning Commission met in regular session on Thursday, December 14, 1972, at 4:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Iowa City Civic Center: Chairman Madsen presiding.

Mr. Mulford made,a motion to approve the minutes, subject to correction, and Dr. Beasley seconded it. The motion carried. Chairman Madsen asked if there were any corrections to the minutes of the December 4, 1972, specialmeeting. Mr. Galiher made a motion to ,approve the minutes, and Dr. Ogesen seconded the motion. The motion carried. Item D.l. Z-7220. REZONING REQUEST BY PLUM GROVE ACRES INC. FOR REZONING FROM R1A TO CH (VIC.`sDUE EAST OF, WESTINGHOUSE LEARNING CORP., SOUTH OF CORPORATE LIMITS --IOWA CITY -NEWPORT TWP--AND WEST OF, ROW OF HIGHWAY #1)r OWNER; BESSIE WHITE. PETITIONER: 'PLUM GROVE ACRES. ATTORNEY: JACK C. WHITE. *45 -DAY LIMITATION: JANUARY 4, 1972. Mr. Lawrence Lynch, attorney representing the petitioner, spoke briefly 'andrrequested CH (highway' commercial) zoning for the property', which currently is zoned R1A single-family residential. Mr. Phil Leff, appearing on behalf of Westinghouse Learning Corporation, objected to the rezoning request on,the'grounds that some CH 'uses might lower the value of his client's property. He indicated that one of the basic problems seems tobe that the uses permitted under the different zones aren't broken down into enough sub -categories, i.e.,, the CH zone permits a great variety of uses. Mr. Leff, therefore, stated that he would like to urge the Commission to consider, one or two alternatives, which were: (1) to explore the possibility of modifying the zoning ordinance • to break down the zones inc.o:more specific subdivisions. (2) to do whatever it canto preserve the character and uniqueness of the Westinghouse Learning Corporation area. Chairman Madsen explained that at the Informal Meeting on Tuesday, ,December 12, the rezoning petition was discussed and there were several questions. Mr. Mulford questioned whether anything particular had been planned for this piece of ground. Mr. Lynch :stated that nothing basically had been planned at this time. He further stated that.it was difficult to give a definite plan until they knew about the zoning. He stated that RlA zoning in this area did not seem suitable for a realistic development. Commission members agreed that the land would probably ultimately be zoned highway commercial, but felt there was "no demonstrated need" for the rezoning now. The Commission also expressed concern that granting the rezoning would possibly lead to strip commercial development along the Highway I entry to the City. Commission members indicated their willingness to consider the request again if they could see a plan showing how the property was to be used. Dr. Beasley questioned whether modifications of the zoning ordinance, as:suggested by Mr. Phil Leff, might be a possibility. Dick Royce indicated that enlarging the scope of the regulations that were initially prescribed in the zoning ordinance for Planned Commercial might be a possibility. Chairman Madsen suggested that the petitioner might consider asking for a deferral in order to.amend the petition to a planned commercial development. Mr. Lynch indicated that at this time he would not ask for a deferral. Mr. Galiher moved that the Planning & zoning Commission recommend to the City Council denial of the rezoning request by Plum Grove Acres Inc. for rezoning from RlA to CH for the following reasons: 1.) Because there is not a demonstrated need for an additional highway commercial area at this time. 2.) Because the Commission is 'concerned about strip development and favors a planned commercial development which would give the P & Z Commission more control. 3.) A vote for the motion is not to signify that the property owners adjacent and contiguous to the Westinghouse Learning Corporation should be subject to more restrictions than other CH property. The motion was seconded by Dr. Beasley. The motion carried, 5 to 1, with Dr. Ogesen dissenting. Dr. Ogesen explained that he did not believe in voting against the • rezoning if the property were ultimately headed for commercial rezoning anyway. • -3- DISCUSSION ITEMS Mr. Lyle Seydel, speaking on behalf of the Housing Commission, gave a presentation on a proposed site for a senior citizens housing project. The proposed site is located in the intersection of Dover Street and Bradford Drive. The Commission discussed the merits of the housing site relative to planning and zoning considerations. The Commission indicated that this site, as well as other proposed sites for senior citizens' housing, would: be considered for discussion at future meetings. Proposed ordinance Zoning of Annexed Lands The Commission approved the overall intent of the proposed ordinance as described,in the preliminary draft presently under. consideration. Chairman Madsen suggested that the proposed annexation zoning paralleled the administrative review, procedure utilized in current processing of rezoning requests. Dr. Ogesen questioned the definition of the terms "higher and lower zoning classification" relative to zoning principles. Dr. Ogesen stated that he was uncertain as to whether this terminology applied to "numbers" 'or density. The Commission asked the Staff to obtain a clarification of this definition from the City Attorney as well as the possibility of changing the wording. The Commission requested that the Staff obtain clarification of the numbers involved in a "3/4 vote" of Council members as a "collective entity" or quorum. Board of Adjustment Appeals -- The Commission also approved the overall intent of this proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. The Commission requested that the City Attorney proceed to prepare a preliminary draft of the ordinance for Commission review. Dr. Ogesen requested a clarification as to the manner in which the termination of the 30-day expiration period would be transmitted or publicized to interested citizens:. This question was referred to the City Attorney for clarification. rn Secretary /sc HIMPAR'PW9EN4E1L.

Nations[ • League • of Cities Representing 14,883 Municipalities i Alien tiE. Pritchard, sid `yryd n 50 States Executive Vice President _ 1GHLN Dwember 29, 1T? The Honorable C. L. Brandt Mayor of Iowa City City Hall Iowa City, Iowa .52290 Dear Mayor. Brandt: During the past six months, the, Board of Directors ,of.the National League Of Cities has been reviewing and evaluating }he'scope of our organizational activity and effectiveness. They concluded that the National League of Cities has had a major impact on the conduct of urban affairs, and is looked to by the Administration,` leaders of Congress and the mass media for leadership and articulation of urban' Policy issues.At the Annual Congress of Cities in Indianapolis last' month, the Board of Directors adopted 'a series of, new directions for NLC; to build upon the successes of the past, to maintain the urban Policy leadership focus, and to strengthen our service programs to state leagues of cities and to direct city members.` Enclosed is a full description of these proposed activities adopted by the Board. These new program directions will require additional financing to achieve. Accordingly, the Board adopted the first major dues increase in the history of NLC; effective January 1, 1973, to cover both direct city members and 'state municipal leagues. the Board' authorized an increase in dues, but 'wIndeed, in 7968, Postpone such a levy until e were able to now. Meanwhile the costs of securing such legislative victories as general revenue sharing, an expanded water pollution control program and 'urban mass transit legislation; among others, have caused NLC to operate at a deficit for more than a year. To solve this problem and to reach out as the voice of urban America over the balance of the decade ,requires an increase in dues. While the Board was reviewing the total NLC program, your city was billed, for direct member dues on the old schedule for the 1973 cal- endar year. The officers and the Board believe that you recognize the value, Of your membership in NLC and the importance of expanding its influence on behalf of your city, and therefore you and your city will want to fulfill your full dues obligation for 1973. With that expectation, a supplementary dues statement is enclosed. If you have any questions regarding the program or the calculation of dues for your city, please contact me, • City Building 1812 K Street, N,W. Washington,D.C. 20006 Phone:(202)293-7330 Cattle: NLCI7IES _ �� • December ._, 1972 We arc ,nearing the first decision point on a subject which we all know will involve future actions; by the city manager's office, by the city council, by a strong base of concerned community women. Speaking for these interested women, we 'know we have been of some assistance in alerting the city to a problem area, offering evaluation criteria, frankly discussing litigation potential, and offering constructive proposals for implementation. The problem is comples.: construction and implementation of an efficient pay and job classification;61:ema which - is EQUITABLE TO ALL and sensitive to the situation of women and minority men by incorporating a knowledgeable, active,affirmative action program. Let us begin by outling our substantial areas of agreement. First, city employees are entitled to and should receive the maximum feasible salary adjustments as of January 1, 1973. We do not intend implicitly or explicitly to obstruct'the,progress towards this 'goal, minimize monies to be awarded or to imply that certain groups of employees (men or higher paid personnel) be penalized to afford equitable treatment to others. Second, we see this entire discussion as a necessary first step in the recognition of the growth of Iowa City government and employment responsibilities. For this we compliment the l r • 0 0 city manager, the mayor, the city councilpersons and the city staff.. Third, the specific creation of the Personnel. Procedure Manual is most appreciated. Substantially, it is a well constructed and much needed document. On the 'following three topics we have exhibited perhaps less' than substantial agreement, buttheyare concerns we mutually recognize as valid. First, the fact of accountability of Griffenhagen-K roeper, Inc. for their reports and collected fees. Whatever liability, informal approbation,'financial loss; the city incurs by implementation of the report should be promptlyandforcibly communicated to the consultants. We acknowledge this firm does substcncial cork in this area; we do not therefore conclude they are necessarily professionally competent. We are not impressed 1. with their ability in dealing with the concepts of equal opportunity employment or knowledge of same. They should be given frank feedback as to objections received so ::ir by the city. If the city has a contractual claim which can in any way be suspened, the city manager should investigate the feasibility of this action, for the present and the future. For example, if the city is liable in a class action y complaint someday o, citir:ens of this community could reasonably expect the firm Lipon whose recomillctldation yoi-, icred share 1.11 LailL" L;11b1lity- It should bo an area for,in=ediate and serious exploration. Second, a serious, sophisticated affirmative action'propram is not now in our reach. We think it is obvious that the°degree of expertise, money, time and scope of this effort is greater than heretofore understood:by either the city council or the city manager. Affirmative action is not an 'extraneous frill for the public em la oyer; it is :a y ; � a legal responsibil_.., It 4C not simply ' summarized in the cliche of "access by, all to all jobs.!' Rather it is inclusive of at'.least: in-depth work force analysis of the E 1 applicant flow,, selection criteria, promotional opportunities, seniority practices, work force attitude, evaluation of effectiveness; re-education of management in all areas of equal opportunity; career counseling; physical facilities equity'--all of which are verbatim from Revised Order 4, the Guidelines for Affirmative Action Program which are legally binding on this city. I suggest a New Year's resolution for all: read Revised Order 4, all'6 t E of its closely typed pages: Third, the need for a Director of Employee Relations. A written job announcement should be forthcoming and publiched. r The active recruitment of the best qualified applicant should include serious attempts to locate and attract women and minority applicants. In support of this goal, the city manager will soon receive a list: of relevant publications for inclusion of the i •j 11,'x 1111)01111('0111011C, 1'hrvt� pull i ';11 i011:" hrlvc in;r, wiJr cin-t11:11'i ,l among, professional wumen; and a roster of qualified women who might be interested in the chance -to join and contribute to our community. We also urge the CityManager to be directed • 4. ! to c -:..--act ar.' inopc gate with the Iowa Governor's Commission on the Status of Women in using t:eir roster of qualified women in the state.' We must, now treat the areas of disagreement. They arc two and they are serious. First, is the employment standards question. It is aliened that employment standards specified in the Griffcnhagen-Kroeger report and those used by the city are non -validated "tests" i as defined in federal guidelines and in the absence of any data showing they are job-related; constitute an invalid measure which deprives or tends to deprive an "affected class" --women and minority people --from access to these jobs.) The apropriater.ess of job factor evaluation to this problem should be seriously evaluated before it is accepted as a panacea. We are not talking; about a mammouth'organization; we are talking about an employer with less than 400 jobs. Further, this city's e perience with the last two consulting firms brought in to handle "personnel problems" has not, been encouraging. A„commitment , in this direction should be seriously and expertly analyzed. 'The second major area of disagreement has implications of wide wage 'scope: our allegation that this city has and is perpetuating de facto sex segregation of jobs and salaries We have offered you data in support of this allegation which shows' that women are at the lowest runes of the salary sccaic of • this city and they exclusively occupy the, lowest cl':ssii Od : of ;1e', positions. This situation is co^..pourded by tl c nd�g 5. positions under the Griffenhaeen-Kroeger classification plan. In effect, the captive labor market--women--of Iowa City 1 is being exploited: someone, sometime has to be held accountable { for this phenomena and the ^.c -ice eliminated. women have the 1; right and concerned citizens can be said to have the public duty 1 to test these allegations in a court of law. Whatever mechanism, 1; if any, is set up to revise the Griffenhagen-Kroeger pay and job classification•schema, in the near future the necessity for this j legal action wi11 be up for review. Concerned women have not I waived this possibility by the response received from city government in the last, week. These are rather omnious notes on which to end and do not f 1 do justice to our good faith efforts and concern for our city. In keeping with our past presentations, we again offer a new positive suggestion for your consideration. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in Kansas City, Missouri has available technical assistance and expertise for the asking. The city may simply request that a voluntary program officer come to visit Iowa City to assist r 1 i in evaluation and 'design of equal employment policies. These : in•.:ividuals are not investigators. The city is not placing itself 1 under governmental review by availing itself of this resource. Travelexpenses, etc. are completely assumed by the EEOC. A 7 letter of invitation may be directed to the 'following. Mr. Charles E.
