World Congress of the International Union of Local Authorities

group which will also visit Russia, France, and England. I hope
you can.
What the IULA is all about is described in, the enclosed invitation
for you and your city to join that organization through its United

I GLORIA DEI LUTHERAN CHURCH'
CORNER OF DUBUOUE AND MARKET STREETS IOWA CITY, IOWA
April 6, 1973
Mr. Tim Brandt, Mayor
City of Iowa City
Civic Center
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mayor Brandt:
I commend you and your fellow councilmen in your decision to remove the parking
from certain streets, particularly along the bus routes of Iowa City to insure that
the streets may remain thoroughfares for the movement of people in their automobiles
Mather than using the streets as a storage place for automobiles. `It is, however,
already my experience that as the storage parking of automobiles is removed from
one area of the town it is only thereby moved to another area of the town. This
certainly has happened where,we live in the 400 block on North Van Buren Street.
I am sure that our situation is only indicative of that which is true across the
community. _
One partial solution that could be of assistance is the enforcement of the
code that requires the provision of off street parking for residential dwellings.
There is one home in our block that now is rented out to a number of people. Where
there is the crowded provision of two off street parking places, the seven people
who live in that house each own automobiles. This means that before we even begin with
the problem of people who park their car to go to school, to go go to the hospital,
to go shopping, or to go to work, who must drive into Iowa City from other places
we already have a parking problem.
I am sending this letter to you, anticipating that you, will share its contents with
the council as a whole, and with our City Manager.
With 'prayers for you, your family, and your responsibility as our Mayor.

Gentlemen:
The Wauhawk District of the Boy Scouts of America requests permission
to hold its annual Government Day (formerly Civic Day) program on
Wednesday, April a6.The objective of this program is to expose
outstanding scouts and explorers to the council--city manager system
used in Iowa City and to provide them with a better understanding
of our local government.._ Approximately 20-30 boys from the Iowa
City.area will be involved.
Briefly, the program would consist of an explanation of the city
council--city manager organization, a mock city council session, and
a pairing off of the boys with city officials to explore the respon
sibilities of each and to tour the city.
This program has proven itself to be a very worthwhile investment in
the past and we are looking, forward to continued cooperation and
success this year and in years to come.
Very truly yours,
Larry Wilhelm

MEMORANDUM
DATE: ,April 13, 1973
TO: Ray S. Wells, City Manager
FROM: John PaSuperintend
ppas, Transit ent
RE: BUS SERVICE TO WARDWAY AND OTHER E\ NSION PLANS
- The Wardway Shopping Center and the surrounding area
around lower West.Benton Street represents one of three areas
of the Citythat appears ppears desirable for future bus system expansion.
Y P
ion.
The other two 'areas are Mark IV Apartments, including the Western
end of Benton Street, and the Bon Aire Trailer Court.
Four alternative methods of serving Wardway were developed
and analyzed.They, include (1) an extension of the present West
Benton 'route 1.6 additional miles, (2) a revision of the present
West Benton route toformlarge loop, (3) establishment of an
entirely new route which would serve Wardway and the proposed
Johnson County ° Social'Services facility on South Riverside Drive,
and (4) establishment of new route to 'serve both Wardway and
Mark IV. The firsttwo alternatives could be accomplished with
` the existing number of buses and at no additional operating cost,
while alternatives 3 and '4'would require one additional bus each
and additional net 'subsidies of $26,800 and $19,900 respectively.
Each of the alternatives is discussed below in detail.
Alternative 1
The simplest and most obvious way to serve Wardway would
b,e via an extension of the West Benton route from Benton 'and 'Green-
wood, east on Benton and south on Orchard, looping through the
Wardway parking lot and returning via Orchard and Benton to join
the present end -of -line loop at Greenwood. The extension would
add
1':6 miles es',to the route and require an additional six: minutes
of running time. This alternative is not recommended for the
following reasons:
a. There is barely sufficient time in the round trip
schedule of the West Benton route, which is paired with the Town -
crest route, as.the schedule is now written. The additional six
minutes would make it impossible to maintain a thirty -minute °head
way. The headway would have to be increased to a thirty -five-min-
ute interval which would have two adverse effects; the odd service
frequency would miss scheduled connections with other lines and
the number of daily trips would decrease from 26 to 22. The West
Benton-Towncrest route pair is the second heaviest and would
actually, justify additional peak -hour 'service during most of the
year. The present thirty -minute service is inadequate during
peak times and a reduction of 180 seats daily would only worsen
the situation. In addition, patronage increases from the extension
could be expected and would add to the capacity demand.
b. The routing would be circuitous. The dog -leg align-
Memo to Ray S. Wells Page Two.
•' ment would require Wardway passengers to have to ride around
through University. Heights and by the Field House to get
Downtown ---an eighteen -minute trip by 'bus as compared to a
five-minute direct drive down Riverside. The routing would
- also place a'one-way loop in the middle of the route. Passengers
destined to areas on Oakcrest would be required to ride to
Wardway and back before reaching their destination. The re-
verse situation would hold true for patrons originating along
Benton Street. The effect would be to add fifteen full minutes
to trip times of, people living along the one-way portions of
Benton and Oakcrest.
Alternative 2
This plan would simply add'a route leg along Riverside
Drive to the, previously cited extension to form a huge loop.
The resulting, route would be similar to the former West Benton
routing as operated by the Iowa City Coach Company. There are
two ways of -servicing the loop without adding additional buses.
One would be by. alternating buses each way around the 'loop, `in
effect giving` hourly two-way service. The other method. would
run buses clockwise around the loop in the; mornings and counter
clockwise in the afternoons, with the directions switched` around
noon. This would continue the thirty -minute headways but would
effectively curtail service for.anyone wishing, to travel in.the
non -prevailing direction. As an example, someone living along
the route in University Heights and desiring to go to Wardway
before noon would be required to ride Downtown and transfer back
on the next .Outbound bus on the same route. Incidently,' this
requirement would ,open the door to transfer abuse of a type that
would, be difficult to correct.
Two-way service should really be considered when evaluating
the usefulness of this alternative. However, a thirty -minute head-
way in each direction would require one additional bus. This alter-
native is.not recommended for this reason,, as upcoming alternatives
provide a more useful means of employing another vehicle with its
related additional operating cost.
Alternative 3
This is merely a recitation of a plan to serve the proposed,
Johnson County Social Services facility on South Riverside Drive
with a routing that would encompass Wardway Plaza and the lower West
Benton area as well. Reference is made to my memorandum of January
31, which contains complete details of the plan. In brief summary,
a new route, to be known as the "Wardway" route, would be added to
the system and would require one additional bus. Annual revenues
were estimated at $8,290, while the ,projected annual operating
cost of $35,000 would produce a yearly deficit of about $27,000.
• The route was not recommended because of the low potential for
patronage due to the population characteristics of the area.
Memo to Ray S. Wells Page Three
• Alternative 4
This plan would also add one bus and one route to the
system,,but would be routed to serve two of our target areas
for service expansion---Wardway and the Mark IV complex ---and
open up service to an expanding residential area of town. The
route, to be known as "West Benton" (the present "West Benton"
would be renamed more aptly ','University Heights") would operate
in both directions along Riverside I Drive, through Wardway Plaza,
along Orchard Street, West Benton and Mormon Trek:Boulevard to.
Mark IV.. A morning and afternoon trip would be extended on,
Mormon Trek and Melrose to serve West High School. Eventually
it is planned to link,the line to a new route on the east end of
town which, along with a straightening out of the Towncrest route,
would offer better coverage in the Muscatine Avenue and Rundell
street areas and provide an ideal extension to Bon Aire trailer
park. An attached map shows the projected alignment of the pro-
po . sed "West I Benton/Rundell" route and the revised "University
Heights/Towncrest" route.
UnderAlternative 4, the route is initially proposed to
terminate , natd downtown. <It would share the Iowa State Bank stop at
Clinton & Washington and loop as shown on the map. The 7.6 round
trip.miles would require thirty-three minutes'to negotiate., One
bus would'provide a forty-ininute service; not the most..ideal, but
the eventual through -routing would ultimately allow a thirty -minute
headway.Nineteen trips would operate daily within the standard
twelve,and one-half hour service day.',The estimated patronage,
revenue and expenses are shown below and are expressed in daily
and annual terms: ANNUAL
DAILY (DAILY X 307)

PATRONAGE (Revenue passengers) T085,50U
MILEAGE 152 46,664
WORK HOURS (Includes Report & Turn -in Time) 12.6 3,868.20
REVENUE $ 45. $ 12,825.00
EXPENSES (Mileage at 70fi per mile) $106.40 $32,664.80
PROJECTED DEFICIT $ 61.40,$19,839.80
L_
Two additional full-time runs would be created and one
additional relief driver would be needed to fill in on days off.
Much of this work presently exists and.is handled by part-time
personnel, so the net effect would be the addition of about 1 1/2
full-time positions.
It is apparent that Transit staff favors Alternative 4.
It fits well into future expansion plans and appears to offer the
most productive use of another bus. Conversely, adding Wardway
service to our present system without adding an additional bus
will deteriorate existing service and, we believe, have a corres-
ponding adverse effect on our existing patronage. There simply
Memo to Ray S. Wells Page Four
• is no more mileage to be squeezed out of the West Benton route
while still maintaining adequate service levels.
As a final note, any serious consideration of Alternatives
3 or'4 must accompany a commitment to acquire an additional bus.
As you are well aware, commiting one of our two spares or one of
the two buses you intend to authorize purchase of thisyear will
defeat the purpose of the additional spares from a maintenance
standpoint.

City of Iowa City
Ray Wells, City Manager
Members of the Iowa City Council
Gentlemen:
As,a member of a group of concerned developers and homebuilders,
I am requesting that the Council delay action on the proposed
design standards; for Public Works. I also request that a study
group be formed for the purpose of local input into the design
standards and that this group be allowed.to make recommendations
for additions and possibly changes to the present proposed de-
sign standards.
In regard to the study group the following people have volunteered
to serve: Charles Gillett
Ken Mulford
Burt Frantz
Lyle Miller
Ken Albrecht
George Bonnett
-
and because of the interest of Penny Davidson, I hope that she
would also be a part of this group.
It is my feeling that a complete study and recommendations could
be made within 60 to 90 days if that amount of time could be
allowed.
I submit this proposal to you and hope for your favorable response
for our sincere effort to develop standards with which we can all
work.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Burton J. Frantz

Commission Members:
The materials are sent to you for your information.
If the Commission has any response to PAT's remarks,
then PAT would very much like to hear them. PAT would like
very much for the Housing Commission to have the documentation
at hand to disprove our charges.
our comments are not made lightly. They, come after
months of patience on our part. The proposed tenant -landlord
code is,too important to us:to permit it to be'operated 'on
by n'completely unlicensed body.
PAT feels', that only the City Council, ora group
specifically mandated by the City Council, has the authority
and competence to deal with the proposedtenant-landlord
code.
Despiteeventhe best, intentions on'the part of
the Housing Commission, PAT feels that you are way out of
your element. All you can do is drown, and bring the code
down with you.
Please let those so designated by Ithe City Council,
and especially the City Council itself, do the proper work
on the ordinance.
If the Iowa City Low -Rent Housing Commission was
properly constituted, and.had the power, the budget, the
staff, and the expertise of a true Housing Commission, then
PAO strong comments would not be forthcoming.

Planning Commission, Housing Committee.
Yet,, eight months after the ordinance was presented to the Council
the Housing, Commission is still holding.meetings and still issuing the
most•blantantly unsupported opinions imaginable.
PAT contends the opinions issued in the name of the Housing
Commission are mostly the feelings of the commission's chairman.
PAT knows of not one single report of the Housing Commission
regarding the proposed tenant -landlord code ever submitted to paper. Ever
c
documented, ever researched.
The housing commission has been issuing public statements about
the legal statue.of the proposed code --yet PAT known of not a single member,
of the Commission who is a lawyer, let alone a legal expert inlandlord
tenant law or landlord tenant relationships:
PAT challenges the Housing.Commisaion .to document its positions.
For example: That the ordinance too much favors the tenant.
:.That the ordinance is of questionable legal status.
That the solution to Iowa City landlord -tenant problems is a
good lease.
That.most of Iowa City's landlord -tenant problems van be resolved
+ if only the tenants and landlords get together.
And so on and so forth.
PAT further demands that the Iowa City Council publicly call for
a halt to the Housing Commiasionvs deliberate sabotage of the proposed code.
i The Housing Commission has absolutely no authority at all over the
ordinance. It was asked to comment on the ordinance, not render a legal,
isocial, and financial opisdon.

1 3 --
Friday, April 13, the Housing Commission was quoted an saying
adoption of the ordinance would be too expensive. How do they know? Do
they have any financial data to support their opinion?
The Housing Commission doesn't even have authority over its own,
program, the Leased Housing Program. How does it purport. to have expertise
and authority over the proposed tenant -landlord ordinance?
Who the hell does the Housing Commission think its fooling? PAT
is fed up with the charade. Eight months is long enough.
What the Housing Commission has.been doing and still continues to
do with a very important piece of legislation is a classic example -of
"sandbagging,• running a smokescreen, when there is neither flood nor fire.
If the City Council doesn't know what is going on, then PAT strongly
suggests they take the time to find out. This is a serious, piece of
legislation for the Iowa City community, it is not the play -thing for a
group well-meaning citizens floundering in the dark.
At the present time, based on two resolutions passed by the Iowa
I, City, Council in March, 1973,, the proposed tenant -landlord code ie being
examined by the City's Attorney's office and a special committee of the
Johnson County Dar Association.
PAT knows of no comparable resolution, from the City Council to the
Iowa City. Housing Commission.
So, until the Housing Commision gets a specific mandate from the
City Council regarding the proposed Tenant -Landlord Code for Iowa'City, Iowa,
PAT respectfully requests the Commission shut up.
Thank You
