Monday through_' Friday be placed in front of the school at 421 S. Lucas Street, lJe feel that such a parking restriction would allow parents with children at the preschool to utilize this 'curbside area Instead of having to block Lucas Street and would also insure the safety of the children involved. Your consideration of'this matter would be appreciated. Respectfully, r;( Serendipity Preschool Staff Mrs. Judy Goodwin �i�'t-', ; lQi'Z.�irL �.c�)1✓ i �zci >t,�, Mrs. Karen Kinsman 421-S.

Brandt, Mayor city of Iowa City city Hall 2240 Iowa City, Iowa 5 Dear Mayor Brandt: This will acknowledge your telegram',;inquiring how other cities in received additional urban renewal monies at a time when Iowa City was experiencing 'great diffi culty,,with the Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment as to the financing of its urban renewal project. As I understand it now, certain unused federal funds for urban renewal that were not utilized elsewhere in fiscal 1873 were reallocated and made available to cities whose projects had been readied for funding, out cons been et fully 'funded in fiscal 1973 because of budget'onstraints applied by the Office of Management and Budget at the the nation, in - White House. A -number of cities across eluding several in Iowa, were deemed by the Department of Housing and 'Urban Development to have reached a stage that receive these reallocated funds near the' ;qualified them to end :of the fiscal year. I will gladly, provide whatever assistance I can re expedite action on the Iowa City project; and I would appreciate My eastern your suggestions as to ho�'r, I may be of help. Iowa representative, Peter,Robinson, is at your'di6259 i, and you may contact him by, telephone at ac319/326-6259 in Davenport. Very truly yours, HAROLD E.

South access off Davenport St is steep and sometimes cannot use when icy or snow on. 2. Fire truck could not make turn iF south access off Davenport St. when cars are parked on bath sides, as they usually are. Since we have lived here the fire truck was ,called on two occasions for grass fires at the back of two of the lots.Once on Ipsen lot and once on n'laus lot (then Parkers lived there). Both times they had to come from tho Pleasant St. access as they could not get in the south access off Davenport St. j. Telephone lines would be difficult to maintain. 4. If we could not get in from Davenport St. we could not get to the back of our lot. It is impossible to make a drive along the side of our lot because our house and garage occupy 'almost all of the width of our lot. 5. We have been unable to use the Pleasant St. Access all of this spring and summer because Mr. canary hhas made. it impossible to drive through because of a pile of tires and junk he has piled in the middle of the alley off Pleasant St. As a result of no vehicles getting through the weeds have grown very high and would look like it was never used. The garbage men nave not been able to get 'through and must stop on Davenport St. and carry cans down to the truck from three households ,which they used to be abl'i to drive right beside before alley was blocked. We could understand their not driving through in the spring for a couple months when it is muddy but they should not have to do this all year. 6. W do not ^bject to closing of portion of north -south section which is behind Fox property as it has been closed by a shed built there for many years and does not affect -ihe Pleasant St. access. CROSS MEDICAL LABORATORIES 2406 TOWNCREST DRIVE IOWA CITY. IOWA 52240 TELEPHONE 319.337-3292 K. R. CROSS. M.D. August 27, 1973 Iowa City Council Civic Center) Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Sirs'; W. J. POWERS. M.D. It is with a great deal of regret that I must submit my resignation as a member of the Human Relations Commission due to personal and business reasons. Because of my work schedule, I have been unable to attend the special meetings, although having missed only one regular meeting. My current schedule will make it very difficult to even accomplish this. It is unfair to the commission members who do put a great deal of time and effort into the commission to have a member who is unable to attend and participate in the meetings. The present and future role of the board is too important to not have 100% input by its members. Respectfully submitted this 27th day of August, 1973. Sincerely yours, i A. C. Walker, M.T. (ASCP) ACW/emk 1 1 0 Mayor's Youth Employment Program I lY Box 911 lo%v;i City, lava 52240 August 273 1973 The Honorable Members of the City Council ,,City of Iowa City Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Gentlemen: This is to inform you of the status of funding of the Mayors Youth Employment Program. As in the past, Department of Health, Education,% & Welfare Title IV -A funds will be available to the Mayor's Youth Employment Program through the Governor's Youth Opportunity Program for September and October of this year. There is the very real like- lihood that these funds will also be available through the remainder of the school year. Since the status of these 'federal funds is highly uncertain, we will write a project proposal for September and October. and then each month thereafter until the federal regulations h xhic govern H.E.W. IV -A funds are finalized. In the event that H.whichV-A funds become unavailable, the State of Iowa has allocated sufficient funds to the Governor's Youth Opportunity Program to provide 60% of the budget with 40% being required for local cash match. For the present, the Mayor's Youth Employment Program will need $988.20 in non-federal money',to provide the 20% local cash match requirement for ' September and October of this year. Thereafter, we will need approx- imately $500.00 in non-federal money each month until ,the status of N.E.W. IV -A funds becomes certain. The exact monthly amount will be known as we write `our monthly proposals. Since the ,money available through Johnson County Department of Social Services consists of federal rtrenue sharing dollars, it cannot be used as local match, to attract other federal dollars. Therefore, the Mayor's Youth Employment Committee would like to request that $988.20 in non- federal money be substituted for the same amount from the youth services money allocated to Johnson County Dept. Of Social Services. This money Will be used for the local cash requirement of 20% for September and October of this year. Thereafter, we would like to request that approximately $500.00 each month be substituted for the same from the Youth services money until the federal regulations are final present the exact amount on a monthly basWe will s as we write our monthly proposals. This request has a maximum potential of approximately $4500.00 in non-federal money. We would like to emphasize that this is not a request for more money, but simply a request for a different kind of money, i.e, non-federal money. We will greatly appreciate your, prompt and favorable consideration, as we are overdue in submitting: our proposal and we can see no other sufficient alternatives. Please contact me or Curtis Purington, Project Director, if you have any questions whatsoever. Respectfully, Emma Jean Alliams Chairman Mayor's Youth Employment'Conittee
