CEDAR RAPIDS IOWA 52401 Johnson Count Committee on Drug Abuse Comm Y 9 Subcommittee of Area Ten Drug Abuse 'Council 106E East Nall The University of Iowa Iowa 'City, ';IA 52240 I owa Ci ty Ci ty Counci 1 Civic Center Iowa,City, IA ,52240 Gentlemen: You are probably awareof-the recent formation of the Johnson Coonty committee on Drug ,Abuse, iniated by Johnson County Sheriff Gary Hughes. The increase in drug use and abuse among our 'youth 'has been of major con- cern to all sectors of the community.- In April of this year,'Sheri ff Hughes ed together group of citizens most directly in contact with She problem --school officials, lawenforcement officials, counsellors, doctors, parents and students, to consider alternatives to incarceration for drug abuse. The committee has 'met several times, and,at its last meeting unani- mously elected Steven' Bianco, from the 'County, ,'Attorney's office, and Stephen S. Fox""Professor of Psychology at The University of 'Iowa, as co -chainmen. Membership is open to all interested' persons, and high school, students are not included as voting members The Johnson County Committee on Drug Abuse has recently become a standing' committee of the Area Ten:Drug Abuse Council, and has been ,recog- nized by the State Advisory; Commission on Drug Abuse Programs. The great availability of drugs in the Johnson County Area, combined with the lack of information concerning various drugs,,their content and effects, often lead to unfortunate and dangerous,ezperimentation. There- fore,;the?Johnson County; Committee on Drug Abuse is concerned with educa- tion and treatment of drug abuse. In addition to considering alternatives to incarceration, the committee had adopted the goal of the establishment of a drug education and treatment center in Johnson' County. The chairmen would like the opportunity to appear before the City Council to acquaint you more fully ,with 'the activities of the committee, and to request'. your recognition and endorsement of the Johnson County',; Committee on Drug Abuse. Could you let us know the earliest date that this item could' appear' on your agenda? Thank you. Sincerely, Stephen S.

As the Day Care Council of Iowa City; we represent the five; cooperative daycare canters in Iowa City. These centers are: Alice's, Dum Dum,-Friendship, Ho Ho and UniversityParents Care Collective.We`serve a total of 92 children in 81 families. A :high proportion of these families fall in a -low income bracket; many are receiving' A.D.C.':or food stamps. Our primary reason for existence is to provide quality day- care at minimum cost, in an environment which meets the indi- vidual needs of the children. The purpose of this letter is to express our support of the, 4 C's Sub -committee on Daycare's proposal, asstated in a : letter to City Manager, Ray Wells, dated May '21st, 1973, to create an 'Iowa City Daycare Commission. We see areal need for community support of 'daycare, based on our own experiences with large waiting lists. We feel that a variety ofdaycare arrangements is, and should be, available to meet the needs of the people in Iowa City. Some way in which we feel daycare in our city could benefit from the creation of a',special commission are: !(1) strength- ening existing programs with outright grants; ''(2),providing scholarships so that low income' families could choose the daycare they feel would best meet their children's needs; and (3) defining "low income" by income; rather than background (i.e., student families) or some clearer explanation. The Day!,Care Council centers are but a few of the number now operating in Iowa City, and there are many differend;philo- sophies''among the total number of centers. However, our basic, needs are similar, and we are cooperating with each other in every way possible, in order to better serve the community. :We ,hope the creation of a daycare commission will be of serious 'concern to you and will become a reality. Thank you for your attention;"we -hope to hear from you in the near 'future: Sincerely, Susan Paradise 221 Melrose Iowa City, Iowa p SP/abs June 14, 1973 .sir. Robert ttilgenberg.

The Staff had also recommended that the lot was too small for: the .city to 'invite heavier recreation uses', and the City could increase its maintenance cost and liability mf the request were granted. i The Council, however, wished to further study the merits of tho situation and reflect more upon the 'Staff recommen- dation. The Council therefore referred this subject to their Parks and Recreation Commission for further review and additional report back to the Council at a future date. Once the Parks and Recreation Commission has an opportunity to analyze the 'merits of the 'situation, you should again hear from us regarding the status of uses which might be permitted, at this vacant lot on South' Lucas Street. Thank you for bearing with us during reaiew of the subject and holo%fully a final determination can be made in the not too distant future. With my best regards I am Sincerely, Thomas 11.

STANDARDS-AND.REQUIREMENTSFOR SIGNS WITHIN THE CITY OF '.IOWA CITY, IOWA, AND 'PROVIDING FOR THE AMORTIZATION OF' NON -CONFORMING SIGNS Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held by the City Council of Iowa City, Iowa at 4:00 o'clock P.M., CDT;' on June 12, 1973, in the Council Chambers in the Civic Center, Iowa City, Iowa, at which'' hearing the Council will consider arguments for and against the proposed adoption of an'ordinance-Amend- ing the Zoning Ordinance which establishes the standards and requirements for signs within the City of Iowa City, Iowa. A copy of the proposed ordinance is now on file in the office of the City Clerk of Iowa City, Iowa, for ` examination by persons interested therein. 1 Dated this day of May, 1973. I j `` ,i Page 3. We understand the intent of the sign committee was to allow a minimum total life of any- sign (from date of installation) to be ten (10) years, I Any thing less than 10 years would certainly be effected by a recent U. S. district court opinion in Colorado regarding the Denver sign ordinance. A copy of this decision has been given to the staff. Actually, it appears that some compensation is mandated by this decision at any point in time. As a footnote„ the life of most signs is :,put at 20 - 25 years. Roof Signs (Sect, h V103 p.6) Under the proposed sign ordinance, roof signs are 'classified as prohibited signs and as such would have to be removed within one year of adoption. Since these signs represent considerable investment, we recommend that it would only be fair to include them as'non-conforming signs and made a part of an acceptable moratorium, Shopping Centers and Interstate 0rie^.ted Businesses We recomrendthat'these two':special situations reouire additional sections in this ordinance that will recognize ;,heir unioue needs. Interstate signs, in order to be functional, must be larger and higher because of the nigh speed and long set -back requirements. Shopping centers, because of the numbers of busi---sses in one building, need altered facia sign _egula_'_ons. The "percentage of wall" alteration might well satisfy this need, " Signs in'a Corner _rianzle (Sect. 3, -1, p. 10) The orouosed ordinance would prohibit sign poles placed in a corner triangle of a lot located .at an intersection. '.hen the great expense of moving all such '. signs auOroximately •.' is neighed in li.gn' -0f the actual benefit deri7ee, we feel that it will prove impractical in highway commercial zpnee areas.
