Minutes of', the ,August 23, 1973 meeting ,were.'amended'to read: 7th Paragraph, 4th Line: Mr. Lambert 'stated that his thinkings were along the line of an information publication consisting of photos and some text . The first item of business was to introduce Mr.,Ken Olin, from the Soil Conservation Service, who.gave:a slide presentation about the ;work of the SCS. Mr. Olin explained that soil mapping will start in Johnson County next spring., The Iowa River will be mapped starting the first year of the four year project. Itis hopeful that information gained will have effect on land use :decisions. Mr. Olin then showed the Commission members what a soil map, looks like. Chairman Neuhauser asked if information on the survey done on the Iowa River would be made available as soon as the survey was completed? Mr. Olin responded that it would be made available to the public. Following this Chairman Neuhauser introduced Mr. William Hines (new member of the Commission) to the other members of the Commission. .'' PAGE 2 MINUTES RIVERFRONT COM14ISSION Mrs. Neuhauser asked Commission members for the next 'meeting to prepare in writing the objectives they feel the Riverfront Commission should strive to meet for the coming year. Since there was no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned. • i COMMUNITY ACTION CENTER October 1973 Iowa City City Council Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Ret Draft Environmental.Statement' Iowa City R-14 Urban RenewalProject Iowa City, Iowa Because of time 'committments'ISPIRG is not able to provide our own` detailed comments to the draft EIS ;for the R-14.,pr6jeet. However. both the :statement and'the�comments;provided by the Citizens,for. Environmental Action have been thoroughly reviewed bybne,of our staff members. Based:,on his,recommendations and a, thorough.review. of 'the issues surrounding Urban Repewal in'Iowa"City, ISPIRG.believes that the criticisms of Citizens for Environmental Action (CEA) are.' both accurate and warranted.` Therefore, we have,endorsed their comments. and ask 'that this be reflected in any further' official' record' of this matter as'well as the final. statement. ISPIRG further' believes that two additfonal points need emphasis.' First, HUD guidelines clearly called for -the preparation of a statement since; .> final approval of the R-14 project cameAn,July 1970; after the effective date of NEPA. This was even more true when CEA specifically requested such a-statement earlylast year in light of the,controver-. sial nature of the R-14 project. Because of apparent HUD departmental decisions, a timely and an objective EIS has not been provided to 'give meaningful Cityreview senotf been suspended,Sas sti ulatednby 0EQ , guideline for project. Y for the peiod of circulation and comment on the statement.' As pro- vided by,NEPA the consideration of alternatives becomes ,a mockery if an agency continues; with"'e proposed' action while the 'environmental' review is under consideration. Thus the;,City and•Hud`'ire vulnerable to possible court action. In light of these situations'and given the poor quality of the State- ment, as CEA thoroughly.documents, ISPIRG•believes that the document falls short of the requirements of NEVA, is promotional in scope and cannot be used as a basis for further action or decisions. Note: a copy of our commentsl, previously Sincer ly, sent to HUD in September, are forwarded/j to you for your information.' !- Frank Leone, chairperson ACT I vi r i E 5 CENTE R ' U. of 1"r✓WA • XO WA CIre Ti9, 'A" Fr- r.Y October 24, 1973 1, ... a IS1^IRG Activity Carter Tne, University, of Iowa Iota City,, love 52292 Daar Mr. Leone': The Iocra City City Council l at its October 16, 1973 meeting officially received and placed on file Your correcnondence' concerning the Draft Environmental Statement - of the Iowa City R-14 Urban Renewal Project.

Our society is severely afflicted with at least two ' diseases whose origin and clinical expression are in part the result of low levels of physical activity and exercise. These diseases are obesity and coronary heart disease. The amounts of untold suffering and deaths which result from these diseases amount to a`national calamity; ,Our local govern- ment should certainly set up'favorable 'circumstances which will promote exercise by makingbikeways convenient for travel to and from work. While commending your efforts thus far in the establishment of bikeways, I' nonetheless think that our city could. establish a more meaningful system of bikeways. For example, Iowa City owns a portion of the Iowa River adjacent to Rocky', Shore Drive. ,This would make a very pleasant bicycling, thruway. A great many of the people who work in'.Iowa City, particularly at the University Hospital complex, live in Coralville. The trafficway between these two communities is ;adjacent to a very. pleasantly green golf course, yet it is very difficult either to walk or to ride a'bicycle along the high- way between Coralville and Iowa City. What I would like to suggest is, not only the above two, possibilities for extending the bikeway system, but to ask that our city undertake comprehensive planning to develop the bikeway concept throughout ourlcommunity and, indeed, throughout Johnson County. It still is very' dangerous" to ride a bicycle in n knowing Iowa City. Parents are worried when', their children venture forth, of owin g what casualties may result, and many adults do not ride their bicycles in certain areas because of the traffic problemandthe, dangers thereof. The bicycle is an established and growing method of transportation and along with footpaths deserves' consideration as a very important ,method of opening up the conquest of certain diseases, and ameliorating the energy crisis by, providing an alternative method of transportation and, finally, in giving a very pleasant recreational opportunity' for our citizens.

For the youth who depend.on buses to get to the local high schools, a 10 fare increase would mean that those who did ride to school will have to find another way of getting to school, either by parent, friend, or walk, if they cannot afford to take the bus for 25ir. Right now, the East College bus runs on a really great time schedule. The youth who do ride the bus to school will nowhave to start earlier. That can be>,"hassle"',as we say, because some kids work late, sleep - as•long as possible and hurry fast enough as it is to catch the East College bus at 8:00 to get to school. Some use lunch money for bus' fare. I'm sure you can see the conflicts involved for the high school student? 'How about proposing a "youth pass", which the students could purchase for i.e., $2.00, and would be good for riding the bus only before school (8:00 a.m.) and afterwards to get home? But the high school student won't be the only age group affected by fare increase The elderly, who live on Social Secruity, those families on welfare, ADC Mothers, and the handicaped to name a few, will also be forced to find some other means of transportation. If they must do so, the likely one would be: a) Cars b) Taxi c) Bike or d) Walk. How many handicaped people are going to walk downtown?. How are young unmarrried mothers going to afford a taxi for the short distance compared to the 15¢ and free transfers? Or walk with a 7 mth. old',child in winter? I feel that with the high cost of 'living as itAgoing now, I wonder how many, will drive instead of taking the bus for 25¢. With more driving, that is going to stir lup,alot of carbon dioxide for our pollution -headed city. Perhaps .some ,families will drive in car pools, but, the number of people who usually ride the bus will decrease for economic, reasons, if not for those already stated. Many are in support of keeping 15¢ as the standard fare. If more ride the bus, pollution can be kept down to a minimum. The ecology- minded person will vote for the 15T fare to stay; and the people for which the bus is a major economical way of getting to work and appointments will also vote in favor of keeping the 15¢. I'm saying right now that if the price goes up to 25¢, less people will ,ride the bus, and bus drivers will complain about the decrease of riders. And you are still thinking of making a price on transfers? Keep the 15¢ fare. Fight for it to remain! 15¢ is a great bargain, a pollution savert'...ainecessity., /Sincerely, l UCUYrUYr�� IIX.C./��/� Pamm Klinsky Pres. for`J.C.Y.B.

IOWA 52240 319 354.1000 t To the City Council of Iowa City, Iowa Gentlemen`. , An examination of petitions filed has shown that there are more than twice the number of candidates for the 26 month term on the City Council of Iowa City than may be elected, and therefore pursuant to Section 363.16 of the 1973 Code of Iowa, it is necessary that`a primary election be held on October 23, 1973, and the County Auditor, as Commissioner of Elections will conduct said election. Playo C.' L. Brandt FROM: Abbie' RE: Information Councilman Czarnecki asked what help we were giving to the County Commissioner of Elections. A. First of all, as two of the precinct polling places were not suitable, primarily because of parking,I investigated the University Baptist 'Church on West Benton for Precinct u 9 and a portion of the Music Building - Clapp Recital Hall for Precinct # 7 and secured (both 'of these. Then` took Dolores for here approval. I`always inform each 'polling place of the dates and times of the elections, so that the buildings ,will be open at the early hour and I convey the 'Council's °appreciation for use of their facility'. Next year, Dolores will be doing this, so I - made carbon copies of-the.l7,persons ,so informed, so she will know whom to contact. B As Dolores had had all notices of elections furnished by the Governor, I typed up the 'ones'to use for our primary and municipal elections; and''Jay,,drafted the notice for the Charter election, and we typed and provided copies for her (this included the ballot form) C. We have furnished large maps for each 'polling ,place -25 D.
