It was moved by Mrs. Davidsen and seconded by Mr. Mulford that the minutes be approvedaswritten. The motion carried unanimously. Z-7301. Edward W. Thomas Rezoning Request (Vic. north of intersection of Mormon Trek Boulevard and eastern extension of"Rohret Road) R1A to R2. Filed: "3/1/73. 45 -day Limitation: 4/14/73. -Chairman'Madsen indicated that this request had been discussed at the informal meeting on Tuesday and that the Staff recommended denial. He suggested 'that the, Commission might favorably consider an RIB request,' Mrs. Davidsen stated that she would like to see the.area developed appropriately and felt ;a Planned Area Development would seem more feasible if duplex housing was wanted, Dr. Beasley indicated that he is generally opposed to rental property in that.area. Mrs. Davidsen moved, seconded by Dr. Beasley, that the Commission recommend denial of the Edward W. Thomas rezoning request, R1A to R2. Commissioners expressed a willingness to consider a request for RIB at some future time. This would be consistent with some of the surrounding property which is presently zoned RIB. The motion carried unanimously. Z-7302.- Fanny Duffy Rezoning Request (Vic. N.W. corner Orchard Street and West WesBenton Street) RIB to C2. Filed: 3/7/73. 45 -day Limitation: Z-7303.- Everett R. Snider Rezoning Request (Vic. 4th & 5th lots northwest of the intersection of Orchard Street and West Benton Street? from RIB to C2). Filed: 3/14/73. 45 -day Limitation: 4/28/73. Mrs. Fanny Duffy explained that she would like to sell the property and the potential buyer would like the land rezoned to C2. Several owners of property contiguous to the area spoke against the rezoning. Mr. Meryl Trummel, 314 West Benton, submitted a petition with approximately 30 signatures opposingthe rezoning. Some of the reasons for opposition were: ---I) Once a change would be made in Orchard Street, there would be no natural boundary, 2) It is an established residential area, 3) Property owners would have no I 110 Chairman Madsen pointed out that the zoning request is for commercial zoning rather than an increased density residential zoning. He explained that the Commission has recently resisted additional commercial zoning in that there is still commercial.land available, some of which is within a very close distance of the property in question. There is, he said, the question of wisdom of increasing the amount of commercial zoning while reasonable amounts exist unuse . Dr. Beasley indicated that something less than RlB may.be warranted -- possibly something intermediate between residential single family and commercial. Mr. Mulford concurred. Chairman Madsen pointed out that there is a buffer.zone north of the property where there is, in fact, R3 zoning adjacent to the commercial zoning. Mrs. Davidsen stated that she would not agree to commercial zoning in this area nor high density zoning until the traffic situation was resolved. Perhaps later some step-down zoning could be granted, she said, but certainly notat this time. Chairman Madsen explained that once an area is rezoned, you have to be ready to accept the uses.permitted under the zone. He asked the Staff to give the square footage required for residential zoning. Mr. Michael Lambert gave the following figures: R3B zoning will permit apartments up to 58 dwellings per acre. R3A zoning permits apartments to.43 dwellings per acre. R3 zoning permits apartments up to 14 dwellings per acre. R2 only permits duplexes and 14 dwelling units per acre. RlB permits only 7 single family units per acre. RlA permits only 4 single family dwelling units per acre. It was moved by Mr. Mulford and seconded by Mrs. Davidsen to defer the Fanny Duffy rezoning request until the next meeting. The motion carried unanimously.

Preliminary Plan for a Large Scale Residential Development for Braverman -West (vic. southwest of intersection of Benton St. and Mormon Trek Boulevard). Developer: Mace Braverman. Engineer: Shive, Hattery & Associates (Jim Shive). 45 -day Limitation: April 14, 1973. Mr. Shive stated that City Engineer George Bonnett expressed ten objections, five of which Braverman -West made modifications in order to comply. The other five objections were: 4 assurance of the kind of use permitted in a C2 zone, 4) Increased traffic problems, and 5) Property devaluation. • Mr. Bob Bender, Darling-Ben"der Realtors, stated that he felt the present zoning is too restrictive to the area and theroperty is not very good for single family dwellings. He would, �herefore, hope that a more liberal zoning could be extended west of orchard Street.

Engineer: Shive, Hattery & Associates (Jim Shive). 45 -day Limitation: April 14, 1973. Mr. Shive stated that City Engineer George Bonnett expressed ten objections, five of which Braverman -West made modifications in order to comply. The other five objections were: ■ 1 ■-> E. 2. Section 9.50.5.4c requires intersections to be between 80° and 100`. The 1/2 cul-de-sac should not be allowed as it will create a traffic hazard. 3. Section 9.50.5.4.f requires crosswalks where curved streets require excessive out of distance travel. A crosswalk should connect each cul-de-sac. 4. Chapter8.10.3.47 defines a lot as fronting on a public street or an approved place. The D.E.A.'s do not provide this frontage. 5. Section 9.60.6 limits driveways to 24' in width. The parking areas. adjacent to the public ROW will create a hazard and should not be allowed Chairman Madsen indicated that approval would mean that the Commission is granting a variation allowing driveways tobe30.''.in width ,with a minimum of 10' between them. After -discussion, -it .was moved by.br.lBeasley and seconded by Mrs., Davidsen, that the Commission recommend to the City Council approval of the Preliminary Plan for a Large Scale' Residential Development' for Braverman -West. Mrs. Davidsen made the following comments: The Commission, Developer. and Staff have devoted a tremendous' amount of.time relative to the Braverman -West request and the time devoted was in good faith. All concerned tried to work out the problems that occurred.- She suggested that ;in the future the developer be motivated to submit their criticisms as it would be helpful to all. She also stated that she did.not feel her role on the Commission is or should be that of an Engineer. She indicated that the Commission's purpose is to decide in planning'and zoning matters what is best for the community, and felt the Staff should be responsible for the engineering aspects of the plans. Chairman Madsen commented that the Commission is recommending some exceptions without a; great deal of enthusiasm. He indicated that there has been some misunderstanding as to what constitutes a hardship. The Commission, he said, should be careful about spelling out what a hardship is and suggested the possibility of recommending a change in the Ordinance as to what constitutes a hardship. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Bruce Glasgow presented for Commission consideration a proposed development for the area east of Dartmouth Street and north of Court Street. He indicated that he will be submitting this as a subdivision. It was moved that the Report of the Special Subcommittee on Attached :e _4_ Buildings of the Planning & Zoning Commission, submitted by Robert • B. Ogesen and Penny K.'Davidsen on March 1, 1973, be submitted to the City Council with the recommendation that the Council.proceed the goals to develop changes in ,the Ordinance which would implement as outlined in the Report. The motion carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned. Ric ar E.

Respectfully submitted, Edward W. Thomas ATTACHED BUILDINGS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Submitted: by Robert B. Ogesen and Penny K. Davidsen March 1, 1973 In September, 1971, a special subcommittee of Commission members was appointed by the Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission. The formation of the subcommittee was made onthebasis of a'referral from the City Council. The subcommittee's charge included the responsibility for a-review and,analytogether. of: the current practice of attaching buildings together. BACKGROUND A somewhat extraordinary construction technique is currently utilized by local builders and contractor intensive development of coms in the paratively small sites: This method of construction involves the attachment, by various devices, of two separate buildings, to form one continuous building. Attachment the followdevices include, but are not limited to, ing: 1. Wooden 'beams 2. Breezeways 3. Foyers 4. ,Lattice work 5. Open stairways 6. Roof extensions This practice of attachment of buildings is most prevalent in R3A and R3B;Zoning districts near the CBD. The primary problem which has evolved from this practice is directly related to the form and type of theattachment "mechanism." In many instances the connection joins an older residence (possibly remodeled to apartments) with new multi- family units. Often the attachment devices are not functional at, all; frequently, they are not aesthetic. The predominant fact that the structures are so dissimilar in age and type of • construction usually leads to a result that is not an asset to the neighborhood. • Page 2 GENERAL RATIONALE FOR ATTACHING BUILDINGS The primary reason for the practice of attaching buildings 1-9 generally economic in nature and specifically involves the maximum utilization of land development at the lowest investment. More realistically, this practice allows the placement of a maximum number of units on a typical lot. IDENTIFICATION OF TYPICAL SITE FOR AND PRACTICALEFFECTS OF ATTACHMENTS TO BUILDINGS A typical single family dwelling, in moderate repair, in the R3A zoning district near the urban core, may be cited as an example of the nature and effects of the technique of using attachments to buildings The area of a lot 80' x 125' or 60':x 150', for example, is 9,000 square feet.. Area:require- ments in Section;8.10.24(A)"of the Zoning Ordinance require a minimum of 5,000, square feet for a single family dwelling in an R3A zone. However, only 1,000 square feet are required for each multiple.dwelling,use in the R3A zone.' Ordinarily, the lot, because of the e,,zoning.requirements,.could accommodate only ;the single familydwellin units (4,000). The use of an "attachmentPdevice" betweenlly the single family dwelling and a multi-unit addition alters; the status of the type of structures as well as,the:density or square footage requirements:per,dwelling unit. 'This Ireconstituted multi-family structure meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance in Section 8:10.24(A) of only 1,000 square feet per: dwelling unit. Thus 9_multiple dwelling,units would be„permitted by conversion to one multi-family structure. Further, the owner or developer is obliged to connect the old and new structures in order to (1) legitimize the use of the converted structure, and (2) conform with the Area Requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. SPECIFIC REASONS FOR ATTACHING BUILDINGS There are 6 basic reasons for the attachment of new multi- family units to older single family' structures. 1• Platting Ori ins - Previous patterns of land platting have contributed, in a most direct way, to the origin and continued practice of attaching buildings. Historically, the older town was laid out in 80' lot widths. Frequently, people built their home on either side of ,the lot leaving the remaining 40' open. Currently, there are owners who wish to put • a multi-family structure on the remaining "halved” lot with a 40' frontage. They are prohibited from doing this by the current zoning regulation in Section 8.10.24(A) which requires 2. High Value of Existing Structure - The original or existing structure often retains a high value. This high value can be attributed to close in location to the center of town, good maintenance, improvements.or conversion to multi- family use. It, is, therefore, not feasible to demolish the olderstructurein view of its 'continued profitable use, especially with an attachment of a building addition. 3. Circumvention of Requirements of Zonin Ordinance - Section 8.10.5(A)(7) of the Zoning -Ordinance stipulates the followings "Every building hereafter erected or structurally altered shall be located on a lot as herein defined, and there .shall not be more than one main building on one lot unless otherwise, provided in this Chapter." Additionally Section 8.10.23(B)(8) provides the following requirement: "There may be two or more related multi -family hotel, motel, or institutional buildings on a lot;P rov' ided that (a) the; required yards be maintained around the group of buildings,, and (b) buildings shall be separated by'a horizontal distance that is equal to the height of the hih n g est building. The_.connection of an "addition"to an existing' building by an attaching mechanism is meant to insure compliance with Section 8.10.5(A)(7); it alsoservesto circumvent the; requirement of Section 8.10.23(B)_(8). ,By the connection of buildings into ,one structure, the developer or owner not only avoids compliance with the above ordinance requirements, but in doing so, acquires a premium of additional space for building and parking. 4. Reduced Parkin[on-conforming Use - Section 8.10.2C states t e o owing provision: "Existing buildings not complying with off-street parking requirements may be remodeled, repaired and structurally altered but any enlargement except as otherwise' stated in sub -paragraphs 2 and 5 (churches - hospitals) of Section A, must provide the required parking spaces for said enlargement." This means that any enlargement (i.e. new addition to a building by an attachment device) must meet the parking space requirements Page 4 . of one space perlivingunit as set forth in the current zoning ordinance. In many instances, however, the older single family use may have been converted to a multi -family use before the adoption of the current parking space require- ment. A substantial saving in parking space and subsequent financial return is afforded through the use of an attached building to the, original structure, rather than the demolition of the old structure and the erection ofa new building which would then require one parking, space per dwelling unit. 5. Im rovements b Homeowners in Lieu of Code and Ordinance eguiremen - s e years o owing a econd World and Korean Wars were characterized by extraordinary demands for housing in our.'University community. At ,that time, the regular inspection procedure required for code enforcement was not conducted on a continuous' or, formal basis. Also the permit system,, authorizing certain household improvements, was in its initial stage of development.. As a homeowners'.often'converted consequence, single family structures to multi- family uses and sometimes even added additions without proper authorization or inspection.or code compliance The City of Iowa City currently maintains a schedule of inspections to code devoted enforcement and;.compliance with the zoning division 'sub- and ordinances. .Similarly, the permit system is well established and enforced, in ainI gainedthe community. Some of the advantages ned by this structural, non -code compliance can be perpetuated b Ching to the non -complying structure, rather than demolition of the old structure and erection of a new, conforming structure. 6. Attachment of Buib,111110s hroulfhn'the Permissiveness of the Non-conformin Use Secfion of the Zonin Ordinance wou appear a e oning r finance unin en lona encourages non -conforming land uses. Theoretically,single family dwelling in an R3 zoning district with a noconforming setback may obtain relief via a'variance from the Board Adjustment, of as set forth in Section 8.10.28(H)(3). Consequently, a multi -family' addition may be attached even though the position of.the original structure on a lot is -conforming non as to the application of requirements pertaining to setback and sideyards. Ordinarily the replacement of a non -conforming structure is limited by the Zoning Ordinance in Section 8.10.24(B) to either a single family dwelling or a permitted non -dwelling use. The reasons for attachment described above produce advantages to the developer and/or owner. The other side of the coin, however, reflects the view of adjacent property owners or renters to this attachment practice. Their objections (the validity of which was not considered based on factors including by the committee) are '(1) adverse characteristicschange in neighborhood changes y. (4)'non-compliance with code requirements of parking spaces, (5) additional traffic generation, (6) possible safety problems for pedestrians, especially children, and LEGAL PROCEEDINGS RELATED TO ADDITIONS TO EXISTING BUILDINGS A building permit was issued to Ernest L. Galer and Perry M. Bontrager on May 23, 1972 to construct an 'addition to an existing building at 1030 East Court Street in Iowa City. Said addition was',to contain 14 new apartment units. The {property in question, with an area of 18,B80 square feet, is in the R3A�zoning district wherein one dwelling ,unit per 1,000 square feet is permitted. An existing building on the lot contained 4 dwelling units; a total of 18 units was permitted on the lot in question. An appeal to the Iowa City Board of Adjustment against.the ,issuance'of said -permit `for the addition to the existing building ,at 1030-E. Court Street and pursuant to Section 8.10.28 of 'the Municipal Code, was filed by, several nearby property owners in July, '1972. The appellants alleged that the addition actually constituted ,a;second;building.on the lot. On July 26, 1972 the Iowa, City Board of Adjustment upheld the issuance of the building permit and thereby denied the allegation of the appellants.; The decision of the Board of Adjustment was immediately appealed for Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Judgment to.the District Court of Iowa (Johnson County). The Board of Adjustment, was named as the defendant, with Ernest L. Galer and Perry M. Bontrager as the intervening defendants. A judicial hearing was held in Iowa City,on September 28, 1972; Judgment was rendered by Judge William R. Eads on October 2, 1972. The primary issue involved in this case was whether or'not the .permit issued by the Building Inspector of Iowa City violated Section 8.10.5(A)(7) of theMunicipalCode and whether or not the construction project was a second building upon the lot at 1030 E. Court Street contrary to the provisions of the aforesaid ordinance which prohibits the building of more than one building upon a single lot. Section 8.10.5(A)(7) makes the following provision: "Every building hereafter erected or structurally altered shall be located on a lot as herein defined, and there shall not be more than one main building on one lot unless otherwise provided in this Chapter." • The Board of Adjustment, the Defendant in this case, ratified the issuance of the building permit by the City Building Inspector on condition that the Intervenors (Galer and Bontrager) enclose a walkway between the existing building at 1030 E. Court Street Page 6 and the proposed project (designated by the Appellants as a new building and by'the:Defendants`"and Intervenors as an addition) The Court, concluded that the Building Inspector and the Board of Adjustment were in error in issuing the permit to the Intervenors because the structure which they proposed to build was a second main building upon a single lot. The building permit bein issued in violation of the Municipal Code, Section 8.10.5(A)(77 was an invalid and voide ht to permit and gave the permit holders, the Intervenors,no right proceed 'th Of such a second main building. In all likelihood, thisndecisionn of the District Court will be appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court. The judgment, if sustained by the "Supreme Court, will have a definite and real effect on the future type, nature and use of attachments to buildings within the community. The implications of this judgment are reflected, in part, in the recommendations proposed at the end of this report._ LAND USE oBJECTIVES, Proper land use and development objectives are qquite different in substance and content from regulatory devices such as building codes and zoning regulations and requirements. These objectives, however, in conjunction with regulatory devices can play a"decisive role in the proper use of attached buildings. The following land use 'objectives have been suggested and were considered to be important considerations in the R3A zoning district in question: 1. The preservation of the character of "old town" and the prevention of drastic changes in neighborhoods leading"to property devaluation and deterioration. 2. Thepreservationof architectural excellence and continuity in neighborhoods. 3. The prevention of removal of tree stands and denuding of landscapes. 4. The promotion of an efficient and safe traffic flow; reduction of traffic accidents and promotion of pedestrian safety. 5. The provision for "buffer" zoning to separate effectively various land uses. Page 7 RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE STUDYCOMMITTEE The following recommendations are submitted.by the study committee to the Planning and Zoning Commission for discussion and recommendation to the City Council: 1. The subcommittee is not against bona fide additions to buildings. It is recommended that the attachment mechanism meet all the requirements of the Building Code for multi- family dwellings, and that the attachment area be enclosed and habitable. The old or original structure to which a new structure is being added by.means of an 'attachment, must meet all requirements of the code in the same manner as the new addition or building. f This will necessitate revision or amend- ment:to both the Zoning ordinance and the Building Code. 2. The subcommittee recommends amending Section 8.10.25(C) to require off-street' parking for all units for the entire structure rather than just for the new attached addition.. 3. It is recommended that an attachment or addition should not be permitted for buildings which are currently non conforming with regard to frontage, area, yards, and setback. 4. It is recommended that the 50' minimum lot width be retained for structures for multi -family dwelling units. The attachment of buildings on,a 40' lot'is prohibited.' 5. The subcommittee recommends that consideration be given to amending Section 8.10.23(B)(8) of the Municipal Code to allow the clustering, of buildings on a lot in the area close, to the CBD. There are times when it is not necessaryfor two buildings to be separated by a distance equal to the height of the tallest building. 6. In the conversion of two buildings into one by an attachment, the attachment mechanism should serve a substantial utilitarian and constructive purpose. .The Iowa_ City Zoning Ordinance should be clarified to state that in order to constitute an addition to an existing building, the proposed structure should be tied into the existing, structure by some substantial means such as by a continuous and connected foundation, substantial walls and roof, protecting any entrance or corridor from the outside, walls which would allow movement from one portion of the building to another without going outside, and other similar and substantial means which indicate that,the buildings are, in fact, one, structure. Included in this recommendation is that the design of the new structure must also be architecturally compatible with the existing structure.

During this meeting, one day is devoted to cable television. 0jr. Cordier stated that Bob Stumme, if attending this meeting, could possibly reort back to the Committee. (Mr. Stumme is _rom the University of -Iowa.) Discussion next centered on Mike Holland's visit to Iowa City on March 5,-1973. Mr. Full suggested that two cables be speci- fied in the ordinance and have an A -B switch (for the use of converters). ,Rev. 'Welsh stated that hewouldwrite to Mr. Hollandconcerning cable in the UHF area. Rev. 'Welsh stated that his interpretation of Mr. Holland's visit was: very specilla. 2. The Committee may be to the point where an economic feasibility study is needed. Rev. Welsh next reported to the Committee that a different meeting place for the meetings with Joe Gold (from New York) would have to be arranged and that he would check with the City Manager.to see where the meeting would be held and inform the news media. The meeting of March 19 is to discuss Dublic access, and the meeting `of March 20 is to see video tapes. Rev. Welsh envisioned the report going to the City Council from the Committee containing three basic elements: 1. A report as to what the Committee has done since its formation. 2. A summary of its present feeling which could include A copy of Mr. Blum's report of the FCC rules and regulations. 3. A'statement concerning the proposed process and time' schedule for.submitting a report that would 'contain a recommended system, recommended patterns of:.owner ship,' management, and service, and ordinance and pro- posal for future steps. Rev. '4elsh asked the Committee to bring 'a statement on 'what they think is the primary purpose of cable television in Iowa City to the next meeting. Mr. Blum brought up the fact that the primary motivation for, cable television in the United States hadn't been discussed, Mr. Blum then reported to the Committee on the subject of the common carrier. (Addendum attached.) Elliott Full cautioned the Committee about the possibility of censorship, He indicated that during the series of demonstrations last year, he had been reprimanded by the Mayor and by the Governor and if the Johnson County Broadcasting Company had not been an independent operator, it is'likely that he would not have been able to withstand the pressure. His point was ,that a municipality should not own the cable television system but that it should be owned and operated by private enterprise. Mir. Cordier handed out a thesis list of what his students were writing and stated that these will be offered as input to the CATV Committee in May. The meeting was adjourned at 10:45 P.M. 1 1 ADDENDUM • Mr. ,Blum stated that common carrier by definition is a means provided by enterprise for public use of some carrier. The whole philosophy of the carrier is to develop the means. The public accepts full access and full liability. Most common carriers are limited to a one—to-one relationship (telephone, shipping and freight, power and light). There is no group communication or activity. he stated that in the FCC rules and regulations, there are various _places :-:here the system is specifically made liable for theaetions of people who are using the carrier, and given responsibilities for governing that use. This isn't necessarily unique. The degree and sophistication and the specific requirements in the FCC carry much farther. He stated the following section of the FCC- Section 76.209: When during such an origination cable cast, an attack is made upon the honesty, character, integrity, or like personal quali— ties of an identi£ied.person or, group, the cable_ television system shall within a reasonable time, and in no event later than one week after the attack, transmit to the:person or group attacked: 1. Notification of the date, time, and identification`of the cable cast. 2. A script,, or tape, or an accurate summary of,the,attack, 3. An offer of a reasonable opportunity to respond. Mr. Blum states that it is very clear -here that; the system is given a fixed and firm responsibility to exercise very specifically. He also stated that this all leads' -back to the ability to censor. If common carrier status is desired, it is desired because it eliminates any requirement for the owners, managers, etc., to censor. I • The minutes of March 12 were reviewed as distributed. 'It was agreed that the Chairman would go over the minutes of March 12 and make the necessary corrections. The Chairman informed the Committee that he had talked to Mr: Art Small.this-noon and that Mr. Small plans to introduce a bill in the State Legislature to set up a task force to cable television and to establish a one year moratorium. Mr. Small's concern is that communities be provided adequate time to, consider cable television. The Committee spent a brief time discussing,the;pros and cons of a moratorium. Some of the views expressed were as follows: Pros -considerations a. Provide time for, state to consider its role in cable tv. b. ' Provide time for the results of what other communities are now doing .to,be`adequately reviewed. Cons -considerations a. 'Would only result in inflation. b. Could affect the flexibility that municipalities now have. c. Could complicate the process. It was felt thatifa`committee established at the state level could in fact establish legislation that would enable communities to have maximum flexibility in terms'of patterns of ownership and methods of financing and if such a, committee could work on legislation that would assure innerconnection at a high standard for, cable television throughout the state, there might be some merits. Result of.a moratorium as it relates to Iowa City was briefly discussed. It was felt that it would probably be necessary for the referendum to be held since petitions ,were already on file, but that it likely would .mean if a moratorium was passed that the City Council could not proceed to grant franchise. This could however result in. a complicated procedure.if the moratorium was lifted. Motion was made by Blum and seconded by Hubbard to defer further consideration on the question of a moratorium until a specific bill, has been introduced in the state legislature. This motion passed with one negative vote. It was the consensus of the Committee that the Committee should proceed on the basis that there was not a moratorium. Members of, the Committee shared information with one another. W elsh reported his conversation with Mr. Bill Sherman of the Iowa State Education Association. Mr. Sherman indicated that they are now preparing a list of names for the Governor's con- sideration in appointing a committee on cable ty and indicated that the ISEA is planning a workshop in Iowa City on June 18 ana I 19 and they have invited 'Ms, Red Burns, director of the Alt. Media Center in New York City to be present for the workshop. The hope was expressed that we might arrange for Ms. Burns to meet with citizens from Iowa City. The Chairman reported that Mr. Mike Holland had furnished the names of five possible consultants Foster Associates of Washington, D. C.; Telecon Engineering Inc. of Chester- field, Missouri; Mitre Corporation of McLean, Virginia; Rand Corporation of Santa Monica, California; and the Mallarkey, Taylor, and Associates of Washington, D. C. The Chairman also reported that Boulder, Colorado has awarded' Teleprompter a franchise that Teleprompter has promised to spend over $2 million during the ten-year franchise period on locally originated programs. Richard Blum indicated that at the present time the UHF tuner is out of -range .of the capability of cable but'that:an addition to.the set could be added for about $3 plus installation cost, that would make possible for further expansion of the cable system. It..would also be possible, he reported, for a single channel to transmit multiple programs Hugh Cordier reported that Bob Stumme is, planning to attend the meeting ,of the Society of Motion PictureEngineers in Chi- cago the first of April and would, be happy to share this inform- ation with the Committee. The University Committee will meet March 20 and summarize their, thinking and then begin design forrecommendations,all of which will be fed to the staff-and'students Jan Miller, one of Cordier's students, reported that the con sensus of .the University.Committee'.seems to be that CATV would be of positive value as an extension ci the University. In an interview with Mr. Art Gillis she found his attitude positive. Mr. Kril reported on his visits to New York which included his visits to the Children's Television.Workshop, to MIT, Time -Life, and to the Alternate Media Center. He reported that Advent Engineer is ,coming out with a large video screen four feet by six feet, which will cost around $3,000 a unit and with super eight sound system for film production with high class color for approximately $7,000. ,The camera and recording unit would be approximately $1,500. At Time -Life he found out they were talking about video publications and three-quarter inch cassette programming. In New York they have, established an access center for the training of persons in the use of,public access equipment. Following the training program persons are certified and are then able to check out equipment. It was felt that we would in the future like to spend possibly an entire meeting discussing public access. Sandra Eskin reported that she is doing a study on the laws in Iowa that affect cable tv. The first draft of a preliminary report to the City Council was circulated and reactions obtained. Blum expressed concern that the Committee has not yet examined thoroughly ,the potential for entertainment which he feels is the major selling point of cable tv. The Committee then discussed whether or not it should proceed to identify issues, provide an opportunity for public input; and then ,formulate recommendations for the Councilor whether or not it is best for the Committee to take some positions and then provide an opportunity for the public to.react to such. It was agreed that Mr. Russell, Ms.'Prediger, and Rev. Welsh would meet to write the first draft of a'report'.taking into account the items discussed and the statements submitted by members of the Committee concerning, the .purpose for cable tv in.Iowa City and the Committee membrs'statements concerning what they desired of cabletvin this community. This report is to be mailed so that Committee members will receive it on Friday. The March '26 meeting will be, devoted to the finalization of the report for the City Council. The meeting was adjourned. > %'rs MEMBERS PRESENT: Meardon, Corrigan, DeCounter, Welt, Davidsen, Baldus, Cain, Knight MEMBERS ABSENT: Ringgenberg Staff Present: Rosenstein Guests Present: Mayor Brandt; Della Grizel, 1530 Sheridan; Barton Stone, 1219 Quadrangle; Ellis Simler, 1920 Western Road. Mr. Meardon called the meeting to order at 4:00 P.M. Mrs. Davidsen moved that the minutes of February 28 be approved as read. Mrs. Cain seconded and the motion carried unanimously. Mr_ DeCounter moved that.the minutes of March '1 be approved as read. Mrs. Davidsen seconded and the motion carried unanimously.', The minutes of February 22, 1973, were deferred. In response to questions from the Committee, Mayor Brandt stated the following: 1. That the Mayor devoted more time than other Council members.:' The Mayor is in the Civic Center at least one-half hour to one hour a day and he devotes twenty hours -a week minimum to his duties. Some of the Mayor's duties are to handle Council mail, which is done in a team approach with the City Manager, signing all of the legal documents of the City, and.discussing with the -Manager and department heads the daily happenings of the City. He further statedthat the time he devotes depends on what issues are in front of the Council and that he still has time enough to run a business and to devote time to other civic activities. 2. That the difference between being Mayor and being a Councilman in regard to the amount of involvement of the Mayor is fantastic. 3. ,That the Mayor And Manager must work as a team because neither can de it by themselves. 4. That he has, had differences with the City Managers in Iowa City but he doesn't always air those in public. 5. The outstanding characteristic of City Managers is professionalism. 6. That the Mayor should not be elected because individuals have a tendency to think they have more power than they may have and there can!tb.; help but be conflict between the Manager and the Mayor,especially over administration. T. That he can get all the information he wants from the department heads but that the Councilshouldgo through the Manager in giving direction or in filing 'a complaint. 8. That a certain amount of recommendations from staff could be called getting policy but that it still needs Council approval. 9. That policy is generated from the staff, from Boards and Commissions, " from citizens, and from individual Council members. 10. That if the staff makes policy, it is the fault of the Council. Page 2 11. ,That when he is developing a policy, he investigates the budget implications of that policy to see if it is feasible before he brings it to the Council floor. 12. That Boards and Commissions play an important role in policy form- ation and that most policy suggestions the Council receive are referred to a Board or Commission. 13. That he is concerned with the relationship between the Council and Boards and Commissions and the Charter Committee should address itself to getting better communication between the Council and Boards and Commissions. He further stated that he is concerned with the lack of direction of Boards and.Commissions and the unclarity of -role. He cited astheir , an example that the Boards and 'Commissions minutes may not be very detailed and.thus,at Council meetings he must ask staff what happened at their meetings. 14. That he doesn't feel Council Committees would help in policy formation because. each Council member must make a decis he must have the information directly.` ion and, thus 15. That Boards and Commissions' recommendations play an important role and `that ,in order to overrule one he for being against it: must substantiate his reasons 16. That increased Council size -won't decrease each Council member's work 'load, but that.he is not against going to seven members. 17. That wardsscare the daylights.out of him because in the age of professionalism he believes the purest form of government is the Council -Manager -at -Large form. He 'cited several examples of what has happened in other cities with wards, i.e.: (a) The. Council swapped zoning, (b) The Council swapped dutch elm tree removal. He further stated that trading services to please individual Council members is not the way to have efficient government run in the best interests of the City. 18. That he doesn't believe that the Council is not responsible and that he believes they have set policy that is equitable and just. He stated that people are hung up on the word "responsive" which means that someone is in 'sympathy and accord with your position. He stated that it was more important to be responsible which means that one has to be responsible for one's own decisions. He further stated that when making a decision the Council must consider the implications of that decisi and the long-range needs of the communityon , 19. That the Council presently has a staff and office space in the City Manager, the staff, "and the Civic Center. 20. That if the Council felt it needed additional staff, it could get it by a vote of a majority of the Council and that if he felt that if it would make him more available, he would do it now. 21. That now people don't realize that they can call the Mayor or Council. 22. That one former Iowa City Mayor had office hours but disbanded them after a month because no one came down during that time. 23. With a Council -elected Mayor, it is important that a majority of the Council support the Mayor and that the Council should decide how long,the Mayor serves. 24. The Council should be elected for four-year terms. Iowa City Charter Committee • March 7, 1973 Page 3 25. if the mayor is elected at -large by the voters, the term should be for.two years. 26. That the longer a Council member serves, the more faith he gets in the staff. A lot of Council members, when first starting, don't understand how the system works, so it will take them a little longer to get a grasp on what to do. 27. That there is considerable information available to Council candidates during the campaign and how informed they become depends on their own initiative. 28. That absenteeism is no problem with the Council. 29. That the problem of Council members declining to vote due to a conflict of interest does not happen often enough to be a problem. 30. That the City Manager has a slot to fill and that he can't,expand his role to ease the position of Council except in "he area of Public Relations. The planned Director of Community Relations will be a big asset because this person will handle complaints from start to finish, recommending policy, changes if necessary and in addition, will publicize the positive things about City'Government. He further stated that because the Director,of,Community Relations would stress the.positive as well as handling the complaintst the position would be better than having an ombudsm an. 31. That the cost of running for Council.iscontrolled byState law, although sometimes excessive,amounts are spent. The amount that will be spent in Council elections is dictated by how much is spent on your opponent's campaign and by how much you want to win. This would be regardless of whether there were elections by wards or at -large. 32. That he spent $150 out of his own pocket in his 1967 campaign and nothing out of his own pocket in 1971. 1 33. That campaigns could cost anywhere from $200 to $5000, but that the individual running does not pay:for this. 34. That it would not be useful for the City to pay part of the election cost because if a candidate is credible, he or she will get financial backers. 35. That in the first few elections, the Council -Manager Association of Iowa City tried to get at least two individuals to run from each ward, but they quit doing this because people voted for the best ,candidate no matter where they lived. (Mr. Rosenstein was directed to get copies of Mayor Brandt's study of Council elections.) 36. That a Council position should not be so well paying that you buy someone's services. The most important thing is to get someone devoted to the City itself. 37. That rather than wards, if people ran by positions, bullet voting could be eliminated. 38. That forms of government are not going to change peoples' attitudes on lack of trust and faith in governmental officials. 39. That the Council can't make everyone happy and that it must be concerned with the majority of the people. 40. That electing a majority of Council at each election may be detrimental to continuity in municipal government. Discussion next centered on the format of the public meeting and was deferred until the meeting of March 8, 1973. Meeting was adjourned at 5:45 P.M. MEMBERS .ABSENT: DeCounter Staff Present: Rosenstein The meeting was called to order at 8:00 P.M. Minutes of February 22, 1973, were approved as amended, moved by Mr. Baldus and seconded by Mr. Coirigan. Motion passed six to zero, with Ms. Davidsen abstaining. No public attending wanted to address the Committee. Discussion was held on the Public Meeting of March 21, 1973, as to where it would be :held. Mr. Rosenstein reported on what rooms in various public buildings were available. Mr., Baldus - moved, seconded by Ms. Cain, that 'the 'meeting be held in the Council Chambers in front of the Council seats. Motion carried unanimously. Discussion was then held on the ad of the Public Meeting. Mr. Baldussuggested.that a summary statement of some ten dines, twelve inches high in one issue of each of the two local news- papers, inviting.people to come', air their views, and discuss them. It was agreed that the approval of the City Manager would be obtained. It was decided to run the ad March 19 in the Iowa City Press Citizen and March 20 in the Daily Iowan.- A news article may possibly be'obtained 'for the benefit of students coming back from Spring Break. The Committee agreed that it was not necessary to send out mailings but that radio time would be more beneficial. Ms. Davidsen stated that she would look into the possibility of radio time. Suggestions were made to have mimeographed sheets to hand out and to give each Committee member an issue to discuss. 'After more discussion, suggestion was made to refer the meeting format to the discretion of the Chairman. Discussion was held on whether to have the regular meeting at 4:00 P.M. the 14th of March because of the number of members being absent. Decision was made to have the regular meeting and try to have Councilman Czarnecki attend. i Discussion was then held on the Charter. 'Mr. Meardon stated that caution should be used in getting too much detail, thus making the Charter too long. Mr. Meardon suggested that the City Manager be invited to a Committee meeting to discuss Article III, Duties of the City'Manager, of the Model Charter. Suggestion was also made for a subcommittee to enumerate issues that should be in the skeleton Charter. Mr. Baldus moved that Mr. Meardon be impowered to delegate certain'members to draft certain sections of the Charter, seconded by Ms. Davidsen. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Meardon will have the list prepared by Monday," March 12. Discussion was then held on the number of people it would take to file`a petition for initiative or referendum. Mr. Baldus moved that the percentage needed on an initiative or referendum petition be the percentage of the gubernatorial vote in Iowa, or slightly above threethousand people, and petitioners must be''registered`voters 'Mr. Corrigan seconded the motion and it passed unanimously,.', Mr.` Baldus then moved that any petition filed after filing date in the fall and February,l,will be placed on the ballot on a special election on the first Tuesday in April Mr. Corrigan seconded, and after some discussion, motion was withdrawn. Discussion was then held on the cost of referendum. Mr. Baldus moved that, anypetitions by initiative ,and referendum appear on the ballot of the next general election or any other time prescribed by'the''City Council. Mr. Corrigan seconded the motion and it carried unanimously: Subject was brought up whether initiative and referendum powers would prevent a legal challenge by virtue of not having exhausted administrative remedies. Mr. Meardon suggested that initiative and referendum be studied and discussed further. Discussion was next held on campaign expenditures. Mr. Corrigan moved in 'favor of putting a limitation of campaign expenditures in the Charter. Motion was seconded by Mr. Welt. Motion carried unanimously. The Chairman asked that Mr. Baldus draft a loophole -free section in the Charter regarding limitation of campaign expenditures. Meeting was adjourned at 10:30 P.M. MEMBERS PRESENT: Meardon, Welt, Davidsen, Knight, Cain MEMBERS ABSENT: Baldus, Corrigan, DeCounter, Ringgenberg Staff Present: Rosenstein Guests Present; Edgar Czarnecki, member of City Council; James Keele, 502 Grandview Court The meeting was called to order at 4:10 P.M. Councilman Czarnecki stated the following responses to the questions asked by the Committee: 1. :It would be ideal to put people of like backgrounds : in wards 2.- If wards aren't .planned out as'far as location, they won't solve any problems. 3. He favors'.a larger City Council, than the Committee is discussing.. He favors at least nine on the Council. He would favor five as the minimum number of wards. 4. The Council sits apart from the boards and commissions, therefore they don't always know how,the Council feels on issues. 5. There could be broader areas for Committees. " 6. He'feels 'that the staff ive their `best ud ment g � issues but alternatives are not always offered 7. He generally favors initiative and referendum, but feels that reasonableness is important. 8. He doesn't feel that it's necessarily bad for a mayor to conflict with staff. 9. ,He;.favors a two-year term for the <mayor. 10. He foresees no real danger of abuse in a recallprovision but recall shouldn't be used because of disagreement on one issue. 11. He doesn't feel an ombudsman is necessary for Iowa City. 12. He feels a manager could be more limited if the mayor's powers were increased. 13. He spends fifteen to twenty hours per week on Council duties. 14. He feels that $75 a month is not enough for council wages. 15. He feels there should be a more open policy of nominating persons for boards and commissions, possibly names forwarded to the ' City Clerk and Council vote for these at an open meeting, and in case of a deadlock, the mayor could appoint. 16. He receives calls from people of many economic levels but not broad levels of occupations. 17. He doesn't feel that the Council meets enough informally Iowa City Charter Committee Page 2 • March 14, 1973 and there are marry issues that Council doesn't have time to deal with. 18. A Council elected at -large but nominated by wards has some merit but he doesn't know how it would work as a compromise. Decision was made not to hold a meeting on Thursday, March 15. Decision was made to hold a meeting Tuesday, March 20, at 4:30 P.M. to discuss the agenda of the Public Meeting of Wednesday, March 21. Discussion was held on the submitted ads by Mr. Rosen stein. Mr. Meardon stated the concern about setting forth the position of the Committee in writing; at this time since the Committee has taken only straw votes in the issues. Meeting was adjourned at 6:00 P.M. MEMBERS PRESENT: MEARDON, BALDUS, WELT, CAIN, KNIGHT, RINGGENBERG, DECOUNTER MEMBERS ABSENT: CORRIGAN, DAVIDSEN Staff Present: Rosenstein This meeting was held at the offices of Meardon, Sueppel, Downer, and Hayes, and was open to the public. The meeting was called to order at 4:30 P.M. The point was brought up that the Committee had.not officially voted on a form of government. Mr. Baldus moved that the Charter Committeerecommend the Council -Manager form of, government. The motion was seconded by.Mrs.`Cain and passed unanimously. Discussion was held on an agenda..(attached) prepared by Mr. Rosen - ,stein for the 'Committee's ,approval, Mr. Rosenstein stated that he had based this on two considerations:. (1) Since the -Charter Committee had at;.its meeting of March 14,'.1973,.decided,not to.stress.the straw votes, he did not mention them in the handout. (2) That he tried to make the handout serve 'an'educational purpose. Mr. Meardon ` explained to members.of the Committee who had been.,absent.at the meeting';of March "14,' 1973, that since.some Committee' members' opinions have changed,' the Committee had agreed not to stress prior` decisions. Mr. Baldus suggested that a list',of the ,decisions be prepared stating that the Charter Committee by majority vote has tentatively agreed - upon the following.elements`of'a City Charter for Iowa City. The Committee agreed that this `should be prepared and "handed out at the public meeting. Mr. Rosenstein was directed to prepare such a list. Mr. Meardon stated that he, had come to the conclusion_ that the charter itself was a'limitation to city government. He"furcher stated that some limitations may not be bad, but ;that he thought the Committee should write as short a charter as possible. Mr. Baldus suggested that the Committee take out "hot" issues like initiative and refer- endum and have these placed separately on the ballot. Mr. Baldus was asked to investigate the legality of doing this. Mr. Meardon next reported on securing legal counsel for the Charter Committee. He stated that he had not been able to get someone to spend extensive time on the project but that several people stated that they would informally review the charter. Mr. Baldus stated that he would be in contact with Mr. Robert Martineau, a former Law Professor at the University of Iowa, ,who had played a large • role in drafting the City Code of Iowa. The Committee authorized Mr. Baldus to talk to Mr. Martineau about 'legal 'counsel. Mr. Rosenstein presented the Committee with a draft of the list of Committee' decisions. The Committee approved this list. (Attached) Meeting was adjourned at 5:30 P.M. The Iowa City Human Relations Commission met in regular session on Monday, March 19, 1973, at 8 p.m. in the Conference Room of the Civic Centel. Members Present: Donald Hoy Paul Neuhauser Richard Braverman Harriet Coty Mori Costantino Bud Means Phil Jones Members Absent: Sharon Kelley Art Walker The first order of business was approval of minutes for the: February�19 ,'.1973 meeting. Mori Costantino pointed out that a correction needed to be made to these minutes on page 2, second paragraph as follows: "Mori Costantinothen moved, seconded bySharonKelley, to request the City Council to obtain expert staff assistance to work for the Commission to review the law and its requirements, ,keeping •in,mind that a complaint has been filed and there is only 60daysfor state investigation before EEOC comes 'in to review. Said motion was unanimously adopted." (Minutes of the February 19, 1973 meeting were then unanimously approved as amended. CORRESPONDENCE TO COMMISSION Mori Costantino pointed out that the annual report which the Chairman had; written to the City Council should be submitted to the entire Commission for review, and that the Commission should then submit the report to the City Council as 'a ,group. .She stated that this report should be a report from the entire Commission and not just the.Chairman. ,She suggested that the procedure be followed next year since the report had already been submitted.' The Chairman pointed out that.he had also received two other letters,, one from the attorney for the complainant in the Federal case involv- ing the Commission, and another letter from the Waterloo Human Rights; Commission concerning a program which had already been held. The Chairman also discussed plans to attend a program sponsored by the Civil Service League on the Equal Employment opportunity Commission programs, rules, and guidelines. He pointed .out that the Assistant City Attorney would be attending this meeting in Chicago. Mori Costantino then pointed out that she wished to also attend this meeting and that guidelines should be set up as to procedures to be followed in choosing persons to attend such programs. Paul Neu- Commission hauser then moved, seconded by Dick Braverman, that the Chairman be requested to talk with the City Manager concerning an additional member from the Commission being able to attend this program. Said motion was unanimously adopted. Mori_Costantino then stated that she had been contacted by a person in the community concerning whether or not the Human Relations Commission would have inputas to the requests now before the City Council on the Courtcrest rezoning in terms of the discriminatory practices which may be practiced by the Moose Organization whicn plans to locate in the building which is on the site. The.Chairman pointed out that the Commission has not in the past commented in any way in terms of rezoning' requests. Paul Neuhauser pointed out that there has been a recent Supreme Court case ruling that might have an affect as to legality of withholding licenses for private clubs who discriminate in their membership clauses. He also pointed.out that it;would -be very difficult tb get at discrimination practices through rezoning cases. !_ori Costantino then moved,: seconded by.', Dick Bravermen, to sChedule'this _subject for -further discussion in the near future. Said motion was unanimously' adopted. The Chairman then reported that a letter inviting employee comments about any possible problems of discrimination hadbeensent to the City employees at, the direction of the,Commission. .The Chairman stated that the letter had been drafted by Sharon Kelley, reviewed by the Manager, and Councils and approval granted to send it to the employees. REP ORT, CONCERNING REVIEW OF IOWA CITY PERSONNEL SYSTEM The Chairman stated that since the last meeting of 11 the Commission, Mark Schantz from,the University of Iowa, College of Law, had agreed to assist the Commission in researching, the law in terms of court cases applicable to equal employment opportunity. He also stat d th e at the Council had approved the, Commission's request to obtain research staff to assist in the review of the personnel system: He also stated that Mark Schantz had agreed to supervise a small group of senior law students to conduct this research. Mark Schantz then discussed with the Commission the background of his involvement in this Commission effort, and stated that he was volunteering his services to the Commission in terms of giving ad- vice and supervising the research effort. He emphatically stated that in no way was he working for the, Commission or the City for purposes of defending (in a legal sense) the City personnel system. He then introduced Susan Scheid and Tim Braunschweig to the Commission, and pointed out that these two law students had been initially asked to research two areas: appropriate court cases under Title VII in the area of qualifications for jobs, and limitations on the use of tests; and job classification systems as they relate to the require- ments of Title VII. Iowa City Human Relations Commission • March 19, 1973 Page 3' ■ Susan Scheid then made a presentation concerning the several court cases she had researched in the area of job qualifications: education, experience, physical requirements, and testing. She pointed out that the several court cases indicate that requirements must be job-related and must not have a disparate impact on various classes. She pointed out that there were, several types of criteria to determine whether qualifications were job related: the presence of suitable alternative qualifications, disparity of effect, work force statistical comparisons (work force compared to make-up of the community), etc. She than reviewed several court cases in detail which related to these categories. Such evidence sought to make adetermination in this type of case seemed to revolve around whether certain classes had been systematically by-passed for promotion, whether or not the Promotion rate for blacks or women was lower than that for white males,- etc.. Susan Scheid also pointed out that in terms of educational require- ments, the courts look to the median years completed for one class compared to another class (within & geographical area). The need for higher education requirements must be shown to be related to the job"being-filled, unless there is a valid business necessity for doing otherwise. High; school diplomas, can be,found,to be unnecessary for many jobs 'and even discriminatory, but the courts have also held that"in,some cases high school educations' "can be` required' legitimately. In terms of physical requirements, she pointed out that research seemed to indicate that the, major discriminatory practice occurred when employers do not consider individual capabilities for the partic- ular position being filled- She"then pointed out that employers are not allowed to impose a test on women which.is.not'also imposed on; men, but that it was obvious from the research that employers could still have job-related qualification requirements if they were "bonified Occupational. qualifications."'. In terms of height requirements for various positions, these can be found to be discriminatory in some cases because of national origin or sex. The requirements may effectively discriminate.against particular classes that exhibit generally different heights as a class. Job -relatedness or business necessity must be shown in this area also. Susan Scheid next discussed relevant research in the area of testing. She pointed out that there were, extensive regulations in this area and, that validation of tests is required, and as well, should be job- related and professionally administered. The courts have upheld the use of tests in terms of those tests which are job-related (such as mechanical tests). Personality tests are valid only under some Iowa City Human Relations Commission •� March 19, 1973 Page q circumstances, and in one court case, for example, it was found: that if an employer has'a test, it is not possible to have a cut-off grade point, nor to assign failing grades. She pointed out that this really constitutes no test at all. Employers can rely on validatedtests if they are validated elsewhere, although it is preferable to do 'some validation for specific classes in the particular geographic area. Tim Braunschweig then discussed information he obtained in terms of the issue of restrictions under Title VII on classification systems. He.pointed out that there were a numberofrelationships between the wage differential' restrictions of the Equal Pay Act and the Civil Rights Act. The main areas of concern are in -terms of skill, effort, and responsibility,,and if requirements for these three categories are the same, there is no.justification :for differ- ential wage rates. He:pointed_out that problems canexistin terms -•. of une-ua1 ' q pay which will trigger investigations under civil rights legislation.';.He did point out that there was no intent to establish rates of equal -pay for unequal jobs, but if the jobs require the same effort, skill, and responsibility; there can be no differentials. He pointed out that:it was, difficult to measure these or to define effort. Criteria regarding what constitutes substantial disparity in any one of these (between classes) is not covered' specifically, by the'.Equal,Pay Act. Guidelines, -however, have been developed by the Labor Department and these guidelines are used in determining' whether, there has been a-discriminatoiy practice under the Civil Rights Law. Don Hoy,then:pointed out that more information would be needed on the factors used to compare' different kinds of jobs in terms of these three categories. Mark Schantz then reported .that both Susan Scheid and Tim Braunschweig plan to provide a'written report of their comments prior to the next meeting of the Human Relations Commission. i AFFIRMATIVE ACTION REPORT The Secretary then presented the first report of "Hirings by City of Iowa City Following Adoption of Equal Employment Opportunity Policy and Affirmative Action Program (August 1, 1972, 'through December 31, 19.72)." The Secretary reported that this was the first report prepared under the new Affirmative Action Program as adopted by Council in August of 1972. The Commission requested that the next quarterly report be prepared by the April 16 meeting. There being no further' business to come before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned at 10:30 P.M.

FINANCIAL REPORT . The Director reported that the City Finance Department had arbitrarily changed the coding of some of our vouchers as submitted for payment. These vouchers have gone back to the Assistant City Finance Director for his review. The Director further stated that the budgetary figure as liven by the February financial report does not include payroll'changes resulting from the implementation of the Griffenhagen-Kroeger, Inc. pay plan. The bills were approved for payment. (Canter, Trumpp) DIRECTOR'S REPORT it was reported that the lighting in the Brubaker Music Room is still poor. The problem of blocked phone calls continues to exist. In order to improve the situation, the Library may have �. and 5 m. "switchboard" manned between 8 am P to use a switc This will require a reassignment of personnel and changes in the physical arrangements of the building, including better utilization of the space in the Brubaker Room. es; 2 lines for in -coming We now have 2.5 telephone lin calls and an additional line (x-212, "City line") for calling out of the building. The Director recommends the adoption of a policy to • establish the deposition of monies for damaged and lost materials originally purchased with funds from special accounts (e.g., art prints, records, etc.) into an account other than the general fund account of"the City. The Board further recommends the ;inclusion of monies collected for lost and damaged books and other library materials in such account. The Director spoke to the problem of the anticipated withdrawal of federal funding and the continuation of library services now offered our patrons. A copy of pertinent information from the newsletter of.the American Library Association will be supplied to each member of the Board. It was pointed out that the City Personnel Policy is a comprehensive statement while the Library's present Policy is a summary statement different in several res- pects from the current City policy. The relationship between the two policies must be studied immediately. A directive has been issued by the City Director of Finance that the payroll fora 11 employees who are em- ployed less than>40-hours per week 'must be 'computed on an hourly basis. Our budgetary restrictions require professionals to'be employed on a part-time basis to cover a 65 -hour, week covering odd hours, not the regular 8 am to 5 pm, 5 -day work week of most City employees. Thus, these professional employees working on a permanent, part-time. basis would be paid at.an'hourly rate rather than at a monthly salarycomputed according to the frac- tional period of the 40 -hour work week they are employed. The Director recommends that pro -rated fringe benefits be given to all Library Aides regularly employed 207hours per week or more.. It is also recommended that all per- manent professional employees should be handled as is current practice, ;i.e.• the full-time salary rate and the fractional rate earned by the employee are both reported to the City Finance' Department and the employee is listed on'the 'salaried payroll along with other employees re- gularly working 40 -hours per week and who are paid a' salary. We have been belatedly -informed by the City about per- sonnel changes, thereby violating our areas of respon- sibility to our employees. Mr. Downer suggested referring to the Personnel Committee for study the question of the extension of'frin e be f g Wei't s •, on a pro -rata basis to',part-time employees working 20 or more hours per week. There was none to be discussed. COMMITTEE REPORTS There were no committee reports. NEW BUSINESS Each City. Department has been asked to develop a state- ment on cable TV. Again, the:Library Board was given little time to come to'a conclusion and to develop such statement. Mr. Downer stated that no report should.go to the City Manager until the staff and the Library Board have -had time to deliberate on the matter. It was moved and seconded that a special meeting of the Board be called to consider CATV.(Ringgenberg, Summy) The Director requested authorization from the Board to allow Rose Lechay to expend $1200 for art prints and fram- ing.of same. Therequestwas granted.. (Ringgenberg,.Buchan) COMMUNICATIONS 1. A letter of transmittal concerning the recently com- pleted audit of the Seven Rivers Library System was received. 2. A letter from Bob Seger, Director of the Clinton Public Library, was received. The request of the Clinton Li- brary to amend the budgeted amount of the grant from $2500 to $2000 was accepted. (Summy, Buchan) 3. A memo from the Director of the Iowa State Traveling Library, Barry Porter, was received. The meeting was adjourned. Approve MINUTES The Personnel Committee of the Iowa City Public Library, • Board of Trustees met in special'session on Tuesday even- ing,,March '201 1973 at 7:30 pm in the office of the Director. MEMBERS PRESENT: Buchan, Ringgenberg, Summy, Trumpp MEMBERS ABSENT: None STAFF PRESENT: Hurkett OTHERS PRESENT: Robert.Downer, President of the ICPL Board Mr. Summy stated that he had spoken with J.B. Pugh, Jr., City Finance Director.concerning those Library employees working on a part-time basis who should not be paid on an hourly`basis,'but..rather on a salaried basis. Such employees are currently paid a salary pro -rated according to the hours worked and are given pro -rated fringe benefits. The 'City wants these employees to be placed in the part. time;-'hourly-paid:<category and be -paid -according to an hourly rate of -pay. It was noted that the City assigns everyemployee, in cluding the City Manager, an hourly rate of pay, pro -rated over 2,080' hours' per year. Mr. Summy expressed concern over the fact that the Library is.'always.trying'to "catch up" with that which the City Finance Department has decided to do. In order for the Library's part-time employees currently paid on a salaried basis, pro -rated according to the hours worked to receive the, same monthly and annual salary while being paid 'on`an hourly rate, adjustments will necessarily have to be made in the rate or number of hours reported to the Finance Department. Such an adjustment is necessary because the City payroll is a bi-monthly one rather than'bi-weekly. The Director does have at least one annual conference with each employee to explain ,the employee's salary and benefits. This is generally held one month before a payroll change occurs and is submitted to the City Manager's Office on a "Payroll Record Change" form, one copy of which is re- tained in the employee's personnel folder and one of which is returned to him. Additional conferences have been held with the staff in general such as those held after the completion of the Griffenhagen-Kroeger, Inc. study and the adoption of same by the City Council. of Trustees can, in ibrary.,.Board, Ai. - Downer asked if the L - its personnel policy, make desired changes in themannerib of computation of hours of earned work. (The Library • currently gives an employee 8 hours of work credit for working 12:30 to 9 pm during the week and 6 hours of work credit for working 2 to 6 pm on Sundays.) Mr. Summy replied in the affirmative. The Director stated that the Personnel Committee of the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees would do well to accept the City of Iowa City's Personnel policy with certain exceptions. These exceptions are those points currently contained in the Library's policy statement which the Board'wisheB to maintain as being distinct from related City'policy statements. It was the consensus of the committee to adapt the entire .city Personnel Policy to fit the needs of the Library. A question was raised concerning the eligibility of part-time, hourly -paid employees to receive fringe benefits on a pro -rated basis. This is a feature of the recently -adopted City policy; the statement applies to those.part-time, hourly -paid employees who work 20 or more hours per week. The,committee recommeded that there be.n6 change in the current Library policy which t eligible for such benefits. is that these employees are no During the past three weeks, 109, 75, and 73 telephone calls have,been blocked. The Director recommends the establishment of a position of "Receptionist" to handle the routing of telephone calls into the Library. The individual hired would work in the outer office area. The Director also suggested the promotion of Jeanette Carter to Senior Librarian to replace Rose Lechay. Funds I could then be.diverted from those alloted to Mrs. Lechay's position to the range 9 Receptionist. The addition of one telephone line will cost anadditional $18 per month, plus a one-time installation fee of $15. It was moved that a telephone receptionist be hired and the additional telephone line be installed. The Director suggested the restructuring of the job currently be held by Valeria Gogel to include additional responsibilities in the Children's Room. This position is currently a range 8, Clerk; the suggestion is to re-classify the job to a range 9, Library Clerk upon Miss Gogells anticipated termination. The Committee recommends staffing changes proposed by the Director subject to consideration by the Finance Committee. • Meeting adjourned. ■ 411u. aa.�uau v . line budget. This, is purely conincidence. The budget has not been adjusted to reflect the promotions and other salary increases by which the Library staff benefitted as a result of the Classification and Pay.Plan revisions and other City-wide changes in personnel policies. Our un- filled 'positions have made up the difference in cost for the first two months We are underbudgeted at $385 for electrical lighting supplies and tools. Out line budget is now at 808 of total and we will have to use monies allocated for main- tenance and repair services to cover the cost of supplies and tools for work we are doing ourselves. Our Capital Outlay budgeting is as follows: Books and Serials $ 46,496 Audio visual 1,400 j $ 47,896:,:; Shelving and Equipment Replacement 4,901 Totals $ 52,797.' The "Expenditure Summary By Fund" on page 13 will be ad- justed in the March report to show a more detailed coding.`; -9- • I. Members Visited Garwin Solon Dysart Vinton Belle Plaine II.

As to the added activity: we have a new group of "special" people on our regular schedule - nine and ten-year-old.boys from Child Psychiatry Service. They have already been here twice and they - and their supervisor, Mrs. Jan'Enockson, -- seem very pleased. More than twenty ,special groups and classes came to the Library this month. Our circulation continued to grow (during the last week of February we checked out over.5,000,books for the.first time since June of 1972, and a.minimal staff sent off 2,072 books Satur- day and Sunday, February 24 and 25 (and answered 121 reference questions). We still keep track of those questions, which', number over 1,000 for the month. We did not count the small boy who came to us one Satur- day, looked up beseekingly and asked, "Is 'sexy' a -dirty word?." Our paper-folding,,program with Mr. Kijima and his friends was well -attended, and everybody came out with boats, birds, and smiles. The PoPo Puppeteers are due shortly with "How the Elephant Got ,His Trunk", several Girl Scout troops have promised to make hand puppets for us to loan during the summer, and we have set a date --- May 9 for a mobile/stabile work- shop for Seven Rivers and school librarians. Our problems of staffing are simply that there are fewer of us, there will be even less, and we stretch to fill ,the holes. But --- to finish'On a gayer note: a university -size patron has asked us for "Stanley Livingston, the.Seagull." And a grizzled gentleman requested directions to the nearest hydrant. We didn't even try sending him to the street corner; he was thirsty and only wanted a convenient water fountain. -11- /goc 1706 /LoG � 00 i l ; I �REFEQQE1i/CE QUEST/oA' i �i S1 /�(pULT,SERVICES; I I' � I � /000 � (/0 i w i�00 00 I• I � ., J 6 Co ,V � _) ;foo I I II t i I I . i i it t , i l ; I �REFEQQE1i/CE QUEST/oA' i �i S1 /�(pULT,SERVICES; I I' � I � � i ,Ilii_ I• I � ., _) I I II t i I I . i i it I ..) � 1.

Secretary Approve In accord with your request, we are submitting to you this pro- , gress.report. The City Manager of Phoenix, Arizona, wrote an article summarizing what they had discovered. He said, "the most important thing we discovered was that there is no such thing as an expert in cable television." What we have learned is that broadband communication systems really started when the FCC submitted its rules and regulations in January and July, 1972. Due to the infancy of this media, there is on one hand a dynamic explosion occurring in the state of the art (technology) and in all related areas. It is also true that there is not at present the wide range of models and hard facts that`,one might desire. Weare aware at this point of some of the values, some of the potentials and some of the dangers that are related to a`broad- band communication system, and look forward to further exploration. We are aware of the fact that a bill has been introduced to create a State Regulatory,' Commission.We have requested copies of this proposed legislation. Even if a state commission is established, we feel that the Committee should continue its work. The following is: I. An account of what we have done since our appointment. II. A proposed process and schedule for submitting to you, 12 a second report. I. 'An account of what we have done since our appointment, A. We have met weekly since January 5, 1973, for approxi- mately'three hours each week. In addition, we held an all -day meeting March 5, 1973, and an evening meeting- March 7, 1973. B.

We propose to work with the Cable Television Information Center in developing an economic feasibility study correlating: (1) three basic system designs; (2) three basic forms of I• PROGRESS REPORT - ownership; and (3) three levels of rate return on investment. The first step in this study would involve` the preparation of answers to a questionnaire. For example, the number of homes, number of street miles, etc. For this we request staff assistance. This report, which will cost approximately $200, will provide us with preliminary data to aid in our total considerations. This will take four weeks from the time we submit our data. b. In addition, we are 5cWisidering recommending that a consultant be retained to do a more detailed study of the potential of cable tele- vision in Iowa City and its economic ramifica- tions. This would be a more detailed report than that outlined above. We have made pre- liminary contact with the Mitre.Corporation and the RAND Corporation, as well as others. We plan to have a recommendation on this step in May, 3. Patterns of ownership, management,,and service a.We plan to consider all forms of ownership including: (1) Private - for profit (2) Private - non profit (3) Public for profit (4) Public - for service b.

Public workshops I -to provide information, obtain citizen input and reactions. 3. Use of special consultants to advise. We now estimate that we can submit toyou a second report on or before July 15.
