Statement of the People's Alliance for Carpenter and Ranney �D-� ��} ON URBAN RENEWAL I am here today to request that the council immediately call a public hearing on the future of urban renewal before bids are let so thaTpeople can express their wishes as to the types of services and the quality of the environment they want in the downtown. Let me take Just a few moments to explain this request. In the first place, the only hearings held on urban renewal were to react to the now obsolete plan. It now' seems evident that the people of this community are losing control over the nature of the downtown. development. The Old Capital group is drawing up its own plans and their attorney told me that the City's design proposal was not feasible--meaning it would not extract enough profit to satisfy Old Capital. With few apparent bidders on the project, the city seems ready to take whatever comeslalong. We feel it is long overdue that the city should assess the needs of the working people, elderly, women and students of this community: The city should establish clear standards--based on this assessment--for a downtown that will serve people--both environmentally and in terms of services provided. If no one is willing to bid according to such standards then the city should get permission from HUD to develop it themselves. The general proliem here is that the average 'gmrson of Iowa City is being asked to support a large project with their taxes while lacking any control over what that project is; Instead it appears to us that a few individuals-- former landowners in the downtown and now members of Old Capital--are in a position of considerable strength to control downtown development and reap enormous profits as a result. lite handling of the environmental impact statement is an example of this general; problem. The draft statement had very narrow circulation. Most people don't even know what it is. New American Movement, who has been active in urban renewal issues, did not even receive a copy. But more Importantly, r � there has, been no gen*l public meeting at which citize were informed of the importance and content of the draft and were given an opportunity to respond. It is thus not surprising that the draft statement is a self-serving document to se who thoimply want "a speedy conclusion" to urban renewal For example, while the impact statement is supposed to deal with the social as well as the physical environment, there is no mention of social services. Secochdly, there is not''serious consideration given to alternatives to the parking ramps. Mass transit is passed off as being too costly (10-15 million dollars) which is about the cost of the parking ramps. The draft statement glosses over major impacts caused by funneling traffic toward the CBD; especially the effects of maintaining traffic, displacement' of low cost housing , and street widenings such; as the,Melrose project --which would both increase traffic through residential neighborhoods and tear down more homes. The renewal program as contemplated with all of its parking ramps will have 'these impacts which are; ignored or only superficially treated by the draftstatement. A public hearing at this time would be a step toward reversing the status of control over downtown development. We, too, want to see urban renewal get underway, but not under present circumstances. The public hs aring could begin a process in which people's ne•sds are placed above private profits. Once we have reached that point we too will be in favor of a speedy conclusion to the urban renewal project. 0 ,, rl/ • • MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 2S, 1973 0 DISBURSEMENTS SEPTEMBER 1, 1973 THRU SEPTEMBER 19, 1973 GENERAL American Public Works Association Iowa Illinois Registration Gas S Electric Iowa City Petty Cash Gas f, Electricity 40.00 49.30 Northwestern Bell Miscellaneous Expenses 37.72 Hands Telephone Service 994.83 Rand Corporation Supplies 25.60 John Pastlewait Booklets 20.00 Manpower, Inc.

A first step in this area must be made now, while there is still time to experiment. The citizens of Iowa 'City, have shown you through a petition that they feel recycling of solid wastes is necessary.Respond to their wishes with are - cycling project. The 'benefits to Iowa City of newspaper' recycling would be many. Ican,also see benefits for Coralville, where I reside. It is obvious that what Iowa City does with its solid wastes has an effect on Coralville. 'Because we share the same environment everything we do has an effect on others. Another benefit is the information which Iowa City would receive from a newspaper' recycling project. This information' could` be shared with Coralville and other cities and would be helpful to them in starting their recycling programs. Please listen to the people of Iowa City and all other concerned: citizens and fund a'recycling program now. Sincerly, %lam C 3. Vary C.

Because of this the City Staff has been studying alternative recycling methods before arriving at a pilot project for Iowa City. Thank you for biinging this matter to the attention of the City Council Sincerely, Ray S. Wells, City Manager /klw ■ Id September 21, 1973 City Council Iowa City Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Members of the City Council: Knowing that this is a very busy time of the ,year for you and that you undoubtedly receive numerous letters concerning next year's budget, I hope to make this rather brief. One area that I feel is very important and deserves fair consideration in the appropriation of money is that of recycling of solid wastes. You're'orobably turned off already but before ,you chuck this letter in the incinerator,please consider what I have to say. , I_realize that you, the City Council, have a very difficult task on your hands. You're responsible for the efficient organization and operation of a city that consists of both permanent homeowners and university students.You may feel it unfair that students from 'all areas of the country should come here and suggest projects which should be initiated and in turn ways in which money should be spent, however, you cannot 'slight the fact that student population highly supports Iowa City's economy. ',Thus, 'as a student, having established what I feel is a basis to voice my opinion, I shall now continue. My hometown in northern Iowa is near the small town of St. Ansgar. For the past couple of years and through the efforts of I a,concerned group of' citizens, St. Ansgar has done a superlative job in collecting bundles of newspapers and sending them off to be recycled. This is but, one example of a community that I'feel should be labeled progressive.' I recently spoke with a man whose parents -were from Dubuque. It was pleasing to know that that city had initiated a process by which to recycle certain solid wastes. It is also my understanding that Ames and Burlington have similiar systems either in the working or planning stages. Where does Iowa City rank among those cities that have found a feasible way to preserve natural resources? It doesn't. Nearly all pragmatic people realize that a project such as this, like others, will cast money. Through information I have received, it is my understanding that one way to inii.iate a recycling program is to build racks on the sides of garbage trucks to carry bundles of newspapers. Now obviously' there's going to be an initial cost of building these racks and an additional cost in handling and transporting' the bundles along with the other rarbage. Doesn't it 'appear logical, however, that such an arrangement might 1 ■ both directly and indirectly generate a certain amount of revenue. First of all, I believe there is at present a market for bundles of old newspapers'. Secondly, by eliminating newspapers from the remainder of the garbage, it would appear that places where garbage is dumped would fill up less quickly and thus reduce costs. The remodeling of all city garbage trucks might, I concede, be a rather large financial risk but why not experimentwithonly one garbage truck and only one route. If, after a period of time, this system works out favorably, it might be expanded to other trucks and routes. If it appears the system will not be profitable or that it will not meet costs, it might then be feasible to provide a'` sufficient subsidy or devise a more efficient way of handling solid wastes. As I ponder upon, this problem of preserving natural resources it's hard for me to conceive what it would be like for my children to grow up without a daily newspaper or lumber with which to build their homes. Last summer the nation allegedly experienced -a gas shortage. People are relieved to know that: in the near future such a problem will not exist because of the development of nuclear energy. Aren't we the clever ones to have planned that out so well. Just as we ran out of something, technology came up with a solution. But what if technology can't keep ahead? ''that will we do then,, make children with higher I'Qs'? Members of the Council, thank you very much for ,your time and consideration on this matter. Sincerely; v James 47.

Iowa City 'Civic Center Iowa City I Dear Councilmen: I wrote a letter to you last week and it was placed on file- I realize you ace busy anal ha:e many priorities to decide between, so I,must gay I expect this letter to meet the same fate. My letter last week urged you to fund the pilot project. This one urges it also. It seems to be such a practical way in which to proceed; don't jump into a large recycling program -as a start, just fund a small pilot project to, check the feasibility of ,the idea. Now I bring to issuesomething I hesitate even to mention. At last week's meeting there were several sponsors speaking for Iowa City Boys' baseball programs. They asked for, reinstatement of their allocations, a total of 54,300 --They were well received and all hoped for a'solution to restore funding to the programs. As for myself, I have nothing against baseball. I played it as a youngster, my son does now also, and my favorite player is Henry Aaron. (I hope he breaks ,the Babe's record.) I do, however have some idealism in me. 'I feel compelled to mention that a very strong case could be made for funding this recycling; proposalvather than the baseball programs, if it were between the two. Americans consume a vastly higher proportion of the world's 000ds than their m opulat;on merits. Many people are r trouble, starving �n the world ever day, our envircr_ment is in r le, [. y societies are in decay, and the er.tire world spins into unknown change which the mind can't even conceive of. In light Oil this, one could wonder if there is tine to play baseball anymore. Wouldn't it be wonderful if these boys could forfeit new baseball uniforms and n(iw, equipment for a recycling project, which would be a small step tuwards a better environment' Mlaybe there1could be a wav to organize them to help out in a recy- clin'- project. I know it all sounds ridi-:ulous, idealistic, confused, and maybe even silly. But then these boys playing baseball will be about forty years old in the year 2000. The world will be very different then and maybe a small recycling progms-1 started now would make that difference better. Sincerely James E.

Sincerely, Dear Sirs l :gym writing as a concerned citizen who fears the city council will adopt a fare increase for Iowa City bus travel this year. We receive many advantages from our bus system.

Without a cheap method of transportationn working families would be forced to find another camany might not have a and our elderly means to travel around the city without diffmculty. The mass transit system also can reduce the load on ,taxpayers by lessening the need for parking ramps and as much road upkeep,-' Our system is just coming into its own but it is doing so in an impressive style. In its fi:stt year the system carread mora passengers per day than did the buses of Waterloo/Cedar Falls and Dmore passengers or Cedar Rapids. For the, year ending Dec. 31, 1972 ;the transit. system carried 1,268,813 revenuepassengers, an increase. of 80`/, from the year before. The municipal' transit system is a sermice.

I hope this concern and support does not end now with,the'current budget problems. You have the means, through the special2 mill levy,to;hold fixed the present fare without reducing the service now available. It is most important that Iowa City continue to provide this service for its citizens. if the rates were to raise rto"25C, or even 20p, there would surely be'a reduction in the number of riders.' Instead of help- ing more people, you would be reaching less. And the most important idea of this service is to reach as many citizens as possible. Not only that; but you would cause other more serious problems by forcing many people to go back to driving cars. I'm sure you're aware of the ,extra pollution, noise, and traffic congestion caused by in- creasing the number of cars in downtown Iowa City. With the University in the process of creating a pedestrian campus, the city Could easily provide service to these potential riders. Local, merchants could show their support by instituting a !2Bus and Shop" plan comparable to their present "Park and Shop" one. All this could con- tribute to the success of the downtown "mall". Of'greatest 'importance 'is that the present fare is not raised. We mustn't lose the ridership we now have while seeking other ways (e.g. in- creased advertising, adding bus routes to Mark IV and Bon Aire, running buses in the evenings,' etc.) to increase the number of people served by mass transit.
