Re: Bus Service to South Riverside Shopping Area
This letter is submitted on behalf of Montgomery Ward and Company,
Wardway Plaza Merchants, South
and Riverside Shopping Ar
their employees and their customers. ea Merchants, ants,
e re uesting that the _
_Iowa City, City Council consider the 'addition of bus
service to the
South Riverside Shopping Area including the Wardway,Shopping Plaza.
r� —Sw . eu ls request upon the followini; facts:
1. 3bO people requested bus service to this area'in a petition
that was presented before the Council on'Sept. ;lU, 1972.'-'
9.
14any customer requests received by merchants in the shopping
area.
3. Many employee requests for bus service from emplo yees who work
in the
area.
4. ,Many requests received in Mr. Pappas,s office regarding the
need for additional service in this area.
We feel based on these many requests that there is a need for bus
service in the
South Riverside Shopping Area. In addition we feel
that we have been slighted
since Sept. 1971 when the bus service
was established. There are six ma'or'sho
J Aping areas in
the City.
Five of these areas are served by direct bus service to their doors.
Only
one--l-lardway Plaza and the South Riverside Area do not have
bus service.
lle feel that this oversight should be corrected.
We want to compliment the City on its fine bus service system and we
hope at a time
when they are considering the'gereral budget Chat they
would consider the expansion
that we request. !9e would urge you to
at least give it, a six month trial period
and see if the service is
warranted for the area.

Iowa City, Iowa 52240,
Dear Mr. Mayor,
The city is to be commended for its policy of allowing; people to park
in bicycle lanes and in "No Parking" lanes on Sunday mornings when the con-
centration of churches on the near north side and the low level of traffic
on the streets makes such an arrangement quite feasible. As I am sure you
have heard many times, the parking problem `is a very difficult one.
This past Sunday I and a number of my visitors and members were informed
by, way of a ticket that these special provisions stop, at Gilbert Street which
is the property immediately to 'the west of St. Paul..'In other words, the
special provisions apply up to where our church begins.'- We have been `strug
.00lin oo .a rh. eA-1-.f, problem ourselvesaltd.have recently purchased at' -no
small sum an apartment house and`had it moved in order that we might.accom
modate our worshippers. We would, appreciate also receiving',the same consid-
eration that our neighbors to the west receive, namely that parking,be
allowed from Gilbert to the east at least one block,'possibly two for worship-
pers at St. Paul. This is because to the west of Gilbert -the members of
'St: Mary's fill in both sides of ',the street. In fact, they ,come beyond
Gilbert.'
It also would be appreciated if you would at least consider allowing for
that brief period on Sunday morning parking on at least one side of Gilbert.
Thank you for your sympathetic ear and understanding of our problem.
Sincerely yours,

Sirs:
I have just learned, about the new plan of paying city
dog taxes for three years "in advance. I am astounded.
We pay our insurance, property tax, everthing, in fact,
for one year. Dogs get lost, stolen, killed--are much
more unpredictable than cars, houses, or humans. Our
Poor old mongrel is seventeen. While -I am sure she'd
be thrilled to have us
think she'd be ;around for three
years more, the odds are heavy against it.
I understand the idea of this is that it will ease the
situation of dogs running loose and not-being taxed.
These dogs belong to people who couldn't care less and,
if.you slap it on to us for TEN years in advance_ thA,_
oit�atior. ,rill be the same. Law abiding
owners will pay while the others will kepronerty
paying or caring:
We worked hard to be property otmers-going without all
the niceties of life, such as food stamps`and'welfare.
Noir we can't refuse to pay our dog tax as a sign of
objection because you can add it to our property tax. "
Even having a three year rabies shot is of no value to
us as we must have one every year to take our dog into
Canada on vacation.
It is very disconcerting to our dog when the free ones.
sniff through the fence and sneer at her because she is
taxed, shot, and confined. But, I tell her there will
always be guys in white hats and guys in black hats,
but do.you have to make it so hard to wear a white hat?
Please, council members, dos something realistic--just
for a change.

Dear Sir:
The Iowa City Housing Commission is studying the pro-
posed Tenant -Landlord Code, as requestion by the Iowa Oity
City Council. As an advisory commission to the Council',
we have been asked to give them our recommendation in re-
gard to this proposed legislation.
The commissioners feel that we have limited,knowledge
about the existing tenant -landlord practices in this com-
munity, the problems that arise in the tenant -landlord re-
lationship and the community•s opinion as`to whether there
is a need for a City Code and/or department to handle the
problems.
In order to inform ourselves of citizen views on this
matter,.we have scheduled a public meeting to be held Wed-
nesday, 28 March, 1973 at 7:30 p.m., in the Council Chambers
of the Civic Center.We hope that you and members of the
City Council can be present and share your views with us:
Copies of the proposed ordinance can be read at the
Civic Center. If you have any questions about the meeting,
please call me at 337-7032.
Sincerely,

If. you will.check, you will find that the City
inspectors have avoided contact with any property in this
block whereas other properties in Iowa City are inspected on
a regular basis. If they did inspect the properties in this
block, the report of deficiencies would raise serious questions
of liability for you and forme. An indication of the serious-
ness of the :matter might be to advise you that I am currently'
unable to secure any insurance on the premises.

Dear Mr. Wegman:
The City Council received your letter concerning possible
development of a motorcycle riding trail at their March. 27,
1973 meeting. ,At least one of the Councilmen noted that dis-
cussion had really not been held concerning the development of
a motorcycle trail as such, but thought you may have been,re-
ferring to the request from Project Green Bikeways Committee
for Council support in development of a bicycle and hiking
pati from the Mayflower north to the Coralville Dam area.
The Council did, however, refer your letter to the Parks
and Recreation Commission for review and report back with rec-
ommendations to the Council. The Commission will undoubtedly
take up this subject at one of their upcoming meetings and it
will therefore be discussed by them. You mgght wish to check
with Gene Chubb, Director of Parks and Recreation, to determine
at what meeting the subject of the motorcycle riding triil may
be placed on the agenda. With my best regards, I am

should be exempted from help, if it is available.
If there is a reason in law why such records cannot be
released, for any reason whatsoever, then PAT respectfully requests
to know what the law is.
If the non -release of names and 'addresses is purely a matter
or practice on the part of the,city officials in charge of the program,
then we respectfully challenge such a practice. We feel it is not
in the best interests of the tenants and the general public.'
PAT has also made a formal request of the Iowa City Housing

reply.

RE: Town of North Liberty Landfill Agreement
Dear Mr. Wells:
I am writing on behalf of the Town of North Liberty, Iowa
in regard to the proposed Lnadfill. _Agreement _that has been
submitted to me by the City Attorney, Mr. Honohan. .
The Town Council of North Liberty has considered this
matter and are in agreement with your proposal with one ex-
ception. They .are concerned as; to the ,total cost to be levied
as under the terms of the proposed agreement there A s no iimi-
tation-of the amount of cost that could be imposed.
We would therefore respectfully request that the contract
be modified in order that there be'some limit placed on the
cost that could be imposed for said landfill. It is our think
inggthat in view of the fact that the amounts have varied from
$2.35 to $3:50 -that if $3.50 were.the.top limitation, it would
not be unreasonable.
If you have any questions,please do not hesitate to
contact me.

In order to improve the efficiency of the Clerk's office, I have been
investigating procedures
concerning the keeping of records and on
information retrieval, keeping in
mind the records to be microfilmed
and the future process for data retrieval.
The Des Moines City -Clerk spent about three hours showing metheirprocedures.
They have just installed
a new cross-indexing and filing system which can be
adapted to our set-up.The system they scrapped
was better than ours!
Our paragraphs in the Council Minutes could be 'numbered and
corresponding
pages in the Council meeting folder could be post -numbered. Then each
item is
cross indexed, by number in a strip index frame. Des Moines binds
a xeroxcause copy
py of the whole
Council folder as a J ournallof Proceedings
do: not publish condensed minutes. 'Their
-
also compos Ordinance Book is
also composed of bound xeroxed copies.of ordinances with
the Clerk's
certificate of dates of. publication. :These changes would reduce
work load
our
in typing at .least. I have discussed these procedures with
Jap, concerning the Legal
requirements, and hez,..agreed4wefcould,proceed '..

=I have $5,000 budgeted for microfilming. Joe has investigated the
purchase the
,of microfilm reader -printer and the microfilming. The
strip cross-index frame is $500,
and the money is available. As
these are records of the Council, I
am asking if you have any
objections to or questions about,
my proposal.

n the future we would not have the volume of papers and books to be
microfilmed, just the meeting folders andlindex and the xeroxed Ordinance
