As with Iowa City's non-smoking in food establishments ordinance, the earlier draft compared only food/non-alcoholic beverage sales to alcohol sales. The changes have been made in response to the Council's concern for licensed establishments whose primary business purpose is not the sale of food or alcohol (bowling alleys, for example). You should be aware that the inclusion of other goods and services in the equation increases the potential for manipulation. While cover charges are excluded from the equation sales of other goods and services could be emphasized with a decrease in alcohol prices. An establishment could be exempt under both the no-smoking ordinance and the under 21 ordinance because the comparisons being made are not the same. 2. Minor changes have been made in Section B(3)(e) regarding new licenses. Because sales figures are not available for a new licensee, the temporary exception will be based on a business plan anticipating sales as required for the exemption, which will be reviewed at the end of the 6-month period. 3. The fine for a person under the legal age who violates the prowsion prohibiting persons under the legal age from being in an establishment has been set at $250. 4. Violations by an establishment or its employees shall be a municipal infraction with the penalty established by the City's general penalty provision for municipal infractions (1- 4-2) of $100 for the first offense, $250 for the second offense, and $500 for the third offense. 5. Added a "domestic partner registered as such under Section 2~6-3 of the City Code" to the provision excepting under age persons accompanied by a parent, guardian or spouse. 6. The effective date is August 1, 2003. 7. "Whereas" clauses have been added. April 8, 2003 Page 2 cc: Steve Atkins, City Manager Dale Helling, Assistant City Manager Marian Karr, City Clerk R.J.

Section IV. EFFECTIVE DATE. This ~ust 1, 2003. Passed and a~proved this day of MAYOR / / ATTEP:~q': CITY CLERK City Attorney's Office Eleanor\ord\under21ordinance.doc City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: April 2, 2003 To: City Council From: Eleanor M. Dilkes, City Attorney Re: Ordinance Prohibiting Persons Under 21 establishments. from being in certain licensed At your direction, on your formal agenda for Tuesday, April 8, and on your informal agenda for discussion on Monday, April 7, is a proposed ordinance which would prohibit persons under the legal drinking age from being in establishments with liquor licenses or beer and wine permits which authorize on-premises consumption, unless an exemption applies. This memo will summarize the ordinance, identify alternatives the Council must choose between, as noted in the bracketed sections of the ordinance, and address certain enforcement issues. 1. General Framework. In summary, the ordinance prohibits holders of liquor licenses or wine or beer permits which authorize on-premises consumption from allowing persons under the legal drinking age from entering or remaining in the licensed or permitted establishment between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and closing. There are a number of exceptions to the general prohibition, which can be summarized as follows: a. The person under legal age is an employee or performing a contracted service and is on the premises during regular work hours. b. The person under legal age is accompanied by a parent, guardian, or spouse who is of legal age. c. The licensee or permittee applies for and qualifies for an exception certificate because the business's primary purpose is not the sale of alcoholic beverages, which is defined as having food and non-alcoholic beverage sales which exceed 50% of gross revenue from alcoholic beverages, food and non- alcoholic beverages. d. A licensee or permittee submits a plan for a non-alcoholic function which is approved by the Police Chief or designee. 2. Exception for more than 50% in food and non-alcoholic beverage sales. Based on staff's discussions with other cities, we have learned that exceptions based on percentages of sales have been troublesome due to manipulation of sales data. For instance, alcohol sales may be decreased with a corresponding increase in cover charges. Cedar Falls reports that it was such manipulation which led to the repeal of their under 21 ordinance. The ordinance we have presented is modeled, in large part, after the Des Moines ordinance. The comparison being made is between food and non-alcoholic beverage sales and alcoholic beverage sales. Food and non-alcoholic beverages must amount to more than 50% of all sales for food, non-alcoholic beverages, and alcoholic beverages. The proposed ordinance specifically states that the percentage of food and non-alcoholic beverage sales (which must exceed 50%) shall not include income from cover charges, April 2, 2003 Page 2 entertainment fees, drink mixes, or any portion or part of an alcoholic beverage as that term is defined in Chapter 123 of the State Code. Council must decide whether in order to qualify for the exception an establishment must file an affidavit or, as in Des Moines, a verified statement by an accountant. Based on reported experiences in connection with the Sunday sales affidavits previously used by the Alcoholic Beverages Division, as well as concerns staff has that some affidavits filed in connection with the smoking in food establishments ordinance are made without sufficient review of records, staff believes that a verified statement by an accountant would enhance reliability. While such a requirement would increase the cost of compliance, in the course of our research, we have learned that establishments already face annual audits in connection with their dram shop insurance to verify the numbers they have reported in obtaining that insurance. An exception certificate must be granted by the Police Chief or his designee after review of the initial affidavit or verified statement filed by the licensee and review of records as requested by the Police Chief. As in Des Moines, the provision allows the Police Chief to seek additional documentation to support the affidavit or verified statement. It is intended that additional documentation will be sought only when there is reason to question the initial filing of the establishment. Finally, we have included a provision that allows for a new licensee to obtain a temporary six-month exception certificate if it reasonably expects to have sales of food and non- alcoholic beverages as required by the ordinance. New licensees do not have sufficient data to obtain the annual exemption. By making the temporary exception less than a year, we are hoping to reduce the incentive to change form of ownership (which requires a new license) in order to obtain a temporary exception. 3. Posted notices. The ordinance is structured to require that each establishment with a liquor license or beer permit which authorizes on-premises consumption have posted at all entrances either an exception certificate issued by the Police Chief or a notice to patrons that those under the legal age are subject to a fine for being on the premises between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and closing. It is advantageous, both for patrons affected by the ordinance and law enforcement personnel, to have these notices be uniform. Therefore they will be prepared and provided at no cost by the City Clerk. 4. Penalties. The proposed ordinance makes it a simple misdemeanor by the underage person to be present in an establishment where underage persons are not allowed. A simple misdemeanor is a criminal penalty. As you know, the criminal fine for possession of alcohol under legal age (PAULA) is $100. This fine is set by State Code and cannot be changed by the City. Because there is no corresponding State Code provision prohibiting persons under the tegal age from being in licensed establishments, Council may set a specific fine up to $500 or leave it to the discretion of the judge under the City's general penalty provision (1-4-1), which establishes the penalty for simple misdemeanors to be between $50 and $500. A specific penalty should be set so the court can assess the specified fine if the defendant fails to appear in court, rather than issue an arrest warrant. Experience has told us that the penalty for PAULAs is not sufficient to provide for general deterrence, i.e., deterrence of others not specifically charged. Staff proposes a fine of $250 on the theory that the penalty must be sufficient to deter underage persons from coming on the premises and using fake IDs to do so. April 2, 2003 Page 3 The proposed ordinance makes it a municipal infraction for the establishment or employees or agents of the establishment to allow persons under the legal age from entering or remaining on the premises. Due to the lack of vicarious criminal liability, the use of fake IDs, the difficulty of identifying the individual who admitted the underage person, and the criminal burden of proof, staff does not recommend criminal penalties against the employees and agents of the establishment. Establishments will face civil penalties, either by municipal infraction, or more likely, through enforcement action by the Alcoholic Beverage Division (ABD) or locally at the time of renewal. We have talked with the Alcoholic Beverage Division about this ordinance and their role after the ordinance is passed. We understand that the ABD will pursue license sanctions against establishments based on the number of charges against underage persons who are unlawfully present in the bar. In addition, Council may choose to review said citations at the time of license renewal. 5. Effective date. Staff proposes an effective date of August 1, 2003, assuming the third reading of the ordinance occurs by June 1, 2003. After the ordinance passes, we need to allow for sufficient time for establishments which seek to qualify for and obtain an exception based on having food and non-alcohol sales of greater than 50% to obtain those exceptions. 6. Questions for Council. As indicated by the brackets in the proposed ordinance, I will need direction from the City Council on the following: a. In order to qualify for an exception based on food and non-alcoholic beverage sales in excess of 50%, need the establishment file only an affidavit by the establishment or, as in Des Moines, a verified statement from a certified public accountant or accountant? Staff strongly recommends that a verified statement be required. b. What penalty does Council desire to establish for the underage person? Staff recommends a fine of $250.00 c. What penalty does Council want to set for the municipal infraction against the establishment, its agents or employees? It may rely on the City's general provision for municipal infractions of $100 for the first offense, $250 for the second offense, and $500 for the third offense or set a specific penalty of no more than $500 for the first offense and $750 for subsequent offenses. d. Does Council anticipate accomplishing third reading of the ordinance on or before June 1, 2003, such that an effective date of August 1, 2003 is reasonable?

Title 4, entitled "Alcoholic Beverages", Chapter 5, entitled "Prohibitions and Restrictions" of the City Code is hereby amended to add a new section 8 as follows: Section 4-5-8: PERSONS UNDER LEGAL AGE IN LICENSED OR PERMITTED ESTABLISHMENTS. A. No person, individual, association, corporation, partnership or club holding a liquor control license, wine or beer permit, which authorizes on the premises consumption, nor his or her agents or employees shall allow a person who has not yet attained the age for lawful purchase and possession of alcoholic beverages (hereinafter referred to as "under the legal age") to enter or remain in the licensed or permitted establishment between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and closing. B. However, the provisions of subsection (A) shall not apply when: (1) The person under the legal age is an employee of the license or permit holder, or performing a contracted service for the license or permit holder on the premises, and is on the premises during his or her scheduled work hours. (2) The person under the legal age is accompanied by a parent, guardian or spouse who is of legal age for the purchase of alcoholic beverages. (3) The licensee or permittee applies for and qualifies for an exception certificate from the chief of police, or his or her designee, as follows: (a) A licensee or permittee whose primary business purpose is not the sale of alcoholic beverages, wine or beer may qualify for an exception by filing with the City Clerk an affidavit [ALTERNATIVE TO AFFIDAVIT as in Des Moines ordinance is a "verified statement from a certified public accountant or an accountant"] which establishes that the licensee or permittee has monthly gross sales of food and non-alcoholic beverages sold for consumption on the premises of the licensed or permitted establishment that, on average over a calendar year, exceed fifty (50) percent of the average monthly gross revenue of the establishment for food, beverages and alcoholic beverages sold for consumption on premises, as shown by records made in the regular course of the licensee's or permittee's business. The affidavit shall state the actual percentage of such sales. The percentage of food and non-alcoholic beverages shall not include income from cover charges, entertainment fees, drink mixes or any portion or part of an alcoholic beverage as defined in Chapter 123 of the State Code. (b) in addition to the aforementioned affidavit, proof of qualification for the exception may include the business records on which the affidavit is based, state and federal tax records, applications for dram shop insurance and (4) audits performed to determine dram shop insurance premiums, and receipts from vendors for goods purchased, which records shall be made available to the Chief of Police or designee for review upon request. (c) The Chief of Police or designee shall issue an exception certificate if the licensee has satisfied the above requirements. (d) An exception certificate shall be effective for the duration of the alcoholic liquor control license, wine or beer permit. (e) A new licensee or permittee as opposed to one applying for a renewal of an existing license or permit, whose primary business purpose in not the sale of alcoholic beverages, wine or beer may obtain a temporary 6 months exception certificate if the licensee or permittee reasonably expects to have sales of food and non-alcoholic beverages as required by subsection 3(a) of this section. With respect to such licensee or permittee the affidavit required by subsection 3(a) of this section shall detail the nature of the new establishment and the anticipated percentage of sales of food and non- alcoholic beverages. At the end of the 6 month period the licensee or permittee may obtain an exception certificate for the remainder of the duration of the license or permit in accordance with subsections (a) through (c) hereof if sales during the 6 month period support an exception. (f) To be effective in excepting the licensee or permittee from the prohibition in subsection A hereof, the exception certificate issued by the Chief of Police or designee must be posted at every entrance to the licensed or permitted establishment in view of patrons of the licensed or permitted establishments. The person under legal age is on the premises during a time that the licensee or permittee has, in accordance with a written notice and plan given in advance to and approved by the Chief of Police or designee, suspended dispensing alcoholic beverages on the licensed premises. Said plan must provide a method by which alcoholic beverages will be out-of-sight and reach of patrons. If the plan is approved, the Chief of Police or designee shall issue a certificate approving the event, which certificate shall be posted at every entrance to the licensed establishment in view of patrons of the licensed or permitted establishment. It shall be the strict duty of a licensee or permittee permitting such persons under the legal age onto the licensed premises pursuant to such a plan, and the agents and employees of the licensee or permittee, to prevent persons under the legal age from consuming or possessing alcoholic beverages on said premises. C. Between 9:00 p.m. and closing, no person under the legal age shall enter into or remain on the premises of a licensed or permitted establishment which authorizes on the premises consumption unless: (1) the person is accompanied by a parent, guardian or spouse who is of legal age for the purchase of alcoholic beverages; (2) the person is an employee of the licensee or permittee or performing a contracted service for the license or permit holder on the premises, and is on the premises during his or her scheduled work hours; or (3) a valid exception certificate is posted pursuant to subsection 4-5-8(B)(3) of this Section.

What you are failing to realize is that the livelihood of this city depends upon the student body. Without our presence, this community would not even be close to what it is. Why do you shamelessly attempt to implement anti-student policies when the students are the very people who make Iowa City the vibrant place that it is? Furthermore, it is totally naive to think that this ordinance would alleviate any of the problems with alcohol abuse that we have. People under 21 will not stop drinking simply because they are not allowed into the bars. Would you rather pass this ordinance and see the proliferation of fake IDs, increased alcohol consumption in the residence halls and other unsupervised places, increased d~unken driving as the result of house parties that are far away from campus, and increased criminal activity in residential areas where young children live? Another aspect that you must remember is that people under 21 are not the only ones who commit alcohol-related offenses. In fact, I would venture to say that most OWI offenders are over 21, judging fi-om Iowa City's arrest blotter. Why do you take the age group under 21 and make it the scapegoat for our problems? Yes, the under-21 age group does contribute to the problem, but they are not the only ones. You can't justifiably punish an entire age group because some people engage in dangerous behavior. Even as I write this, there are 18-20 year olds over in Iraq risking their very lives for the safety of this country. At the same rune, your only concern is promoting the idea that these same people are too infantile to enter a bar. In doing this, you are saying that 18-20 year olds can give up their young lives for the sake of our freedom, but they can't enjoy an evening at one of our many fine bars or nightclubs--even if they do it perfectly safely. This makes no sense to me. Our young men and women deserve a little more respect. It pains me that our city council, like so many other public officials, don't take young people seriously. This ordinance proposal is ill-founded and will do nothing to increase the safety of students or the community. Keep in mind, however, that the student body does have the power to vote you out of office, should this ordinance pass. If it does, you have certainly lost my vote. I'm speaking in particular to Mr. Lehman and Ms. Champion and the rest of you who support this ordinance. Please consider what I'm saying and drop this idea. I also have the welfare of Iowa City in mind as I write this to you. Pete Warski Phone: 353-0181 UI Student E-mall: peter-warski(~iuiowa edu Peter Wars~i' 100 Daum Hall #5822 Iowa City, IA 52242 Dear Iowa city's City Council, March 31, 2003 As a current resident of Iowa City, and as a student at the University of Iowa I have heard much debate about the ~ motions to make the Iowa City bars 21-unly. As an occasional bar visitor I respoct this idea. Currently I am not of legal drinking age but that has not stopped me, or any of my under 21 peers from acquiring alcohol at any of the local bars. While admittedly underage drinking is a serious problem in Iowa City, I wish to address another problem which requires more immediate attention: second hand smoke mb,ars. At this point in time it has become common knowledge that cigarettes arc addictive and extremely haTardous to one's health. As a non-smoker I find the bar establishments extremely ~pulsivc. I ask you to visit one of the downtown bars, any one, and take a deep breath. In fact, just enter and try to look and see ff you can spot the rear wall of any bar. I am willing to say that you probably cannot. There is so much smoke lingering in the air that thc air itseffbecomcs saturated with this dense carcinogen filled smoke. Thc state of California has banned smoking in bars, and recently so has thc city of New York. These two states have realized that smoking is in fact ve~ deadly. Non smokers should not be discriminated agaln~a. They should not have to avoid public places such as bars simply because they have made thc choice to care for their bodies. Recently Iowa City has banned smoking in restaurants. I, and many others applaud lhat. Restaurant patrons can now enjoy a meal without having to suffer from unwanted cigarette smoke. While that was a step in thc right direction, it was just that ..only a step. Those against banning smoking in bars may argue thru people may simply stop going to bars, and that many bars will go out of business and people will lose jobs. Well, as repot/ed by USA Today after having passed this smoking ban in California, bar attendance did not decline. Money and jobs were not lost. The only thin~ that the public l~ost was being expor, ed to numerous cancer musing poisons Hundreds of University students attend thc Iowa City bars nightly. While I have agreed that underage drinking is a problem at Iowa City, I think that it is more important to nhif~ thc focus of banning under 21 patrons, to improving the quality of all bar visitors. It is the responsibility of the local government to improve thc quality of life for all it's cilizcns. By banning smoking at local bars Iowa City would be taking another step in thc fight dire0Jon, and would dcmonsUatc that I0wa City cares about thc quality of life of it's citizens.

Washington St. Iowa City, IA 52240 March 31, 2003 Dear City Council Members, My name is Ashly Brown and I am currently a first-year student here at the University of Iowa. I am writing this letter in regards to the proposed idea of passing a 21-ordinace for the bars in the downtown area of Iowa City. I am against the idea of this ordinance for a few reasons. I feel that if an ordinance was to be passed, there would be a greater disturbance on the residential streets of Iowa City. With no place to go to enjoy a social atmosphere downtown, students will choose to gather at apartments and houses. This will led to more noise and damage to be created in these areas. Also, not everyone that goes downtown chooses to act foolishly and consume dangerous amounts of alcohol. It is not fair that these students are being punished by having a fun atmosphere taken away from them. Some students like to just dance and people watch. And lastly, I would like to point out that some fault is due to the drink specials that downtown businesses allow. It is not hard to believe that students take part in binge drinking when certain bars offer 50 cent pitchers for 2 hours. One has to admit that choosing to drink to a dangerous level is a personal choice, but to be honest, peer pressure and cheap beer is a common issue with college students! I hope that you take these points into consideration when you continue on this journey of making a decision. Many students would agree with these points and we are a great aspect to this wonderful community. Thank you for all your time and consideration. Sincerely, Ashly Brown Kevin Harter 632 South Dodge St. #10 Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Mr. Lehman, My name is Kevin Harter and I am writing to you in response to the 21-only ordinance the city council is currently debating. Having been a student at the University of Iowa for the past three years I have been witness to many changes concerning the issue of underage and binge drinking that has supposedly become "a major problem" facing the community. This could not be more false. As a student whose has frequented the bar scene in my younger (freshman and sophomore) years, I am going to be the first person to tell you that underage drinking is not the problem it is made out to be. As a minor who attempted many times to purchase alcohol under the legal age, I will be the first to tell you that bars do a fantastic job in keeping alcohol out of the hands of minors. What a patron does with the alcoholic beverage after it leaves the bar employees hand is out of the bars control, but banning all patrons under the age of 21 is a major mistake. If all the downtown bars were to become 21-only, the pedestrian mall would become a ghost town and many downtown businesses would suffer. This is not why I am writing to you though. I think the biggest concern would be that house parties would become the dominant supplier of alcoholic beverages to individuals and that would be a disaster. While house parties attract many people today, that number most certainly would double if not triple if the admittance age were to change. Violence, unwanted sexual contact, and OWI's would rise to astronomical levels if it were not for police and bouncers patrolling establishments to keep the peace. House parties have neither police nor bouncers to patrol them and that is one of the main reasons I propose to keep the admittance age the way it is. One last issue I would like to bring to your attention is that fact that I do not believe that University students are well represented when it comes to issues concerning the community. University students make up a large part of this community and I don't think it is fair to try and resolve issues when students are not around to voice our opinions. (Which is most likely what is going to happen when the ordinance gets voted on this summer when most students are gone. Is that fair?) I thank you in advance for your time and will be looking forward to your response to these issues.

Several cities across the US have already adopted this new measure. Make an ordinance that requires the individuals selling/serving alcoholic beverages be 21. The current ordinance allows'18 years old to sell/serve alcohol. This sends a mixed message to 18, 19, & 20 years - it is ok to sell/serve alcohol but not to drink alcohol. Who is more likely to serve an underage drinker a stranger or a 18 year who has a 19 year old friend? Research has shown that by raising the age to 21 years to serve alcoholic beverages, it has cut down on the amount of underage drinking. (Even the University of Illinois is currently considering this ordinance}. This is an ideal solution. If restaurant and bar owners complain about an ordinance requiring a person to be 21 years or older to serve alcohol, then they are not concerned about detering underage drinking. Their main argument will be that it will limit their hiring options and cause greater turn over. This is not true. There are plenty of 21 year olds and older, either undergraduate or graduate students who would enjoy the opportunity to work in a restaraunt or bar; but currently are passed over in favor of an 18 or 19 year old. Restaurant owners will say they hire 18 & 19 year olds so that they can keep the same employee for at least 4 years. If they really look at their hiring records this is not the case. Eighteen and nineteen year olds typically leave Iowa City during all school breaks including the 3 month summer break. Therefore the bars and restaurants are dealing with turnover more frequently than if they hired 21 year olds or older {who are undergrad or graduate students and voting residents). Passing a 21 year old serving/selling ordinance makes more sense and will be more acceptable to a larger majority of people. There will be a relatively small segment of 18, 19, 20 years who will be upset because they will not be able to continue working as a cocktail waitress or bartender. (Maybe this ordinance can contain a grandfather clause). However, these people can still work in restaurants and bars, they can serve food, they can host, they can bus tables, they can work in the kitchens, they can work at the door, they can supervisor, they can work in the office, they can do the bookkeeping, and they can do the cleaning. I truly believe this is the best idea for the City of Iowa City. It is an ordinance that will cut down on the number of underage drinkers without drastically affecting a large majority of students, young adult residents and business owners. I ask that the Iowa City City Council consider this option and do its own research into an ordinance requiring an individual serving/selling alcohol to be 21 years of age or older.

I understand the concept behind the proposal, though I don't believe that it's consequences are well thought out. In passing such an ordinance, the council will be displacing thousands of students, who as a general rule, congregate downtown en any given weekend. Where are all these students going to go? In reading the various comments, and commentaries I have decided that this is a major concern. These students will drive to other more accessible alcohol outlets, possibly raising the numbers ef drunk drivers. The house parties will become an even larger nuisance than they are already. Lack of supervision will create new and mere dangerous situations for these students who are usually downtown. Hy largest concern is the fact that I usually walk home in weekend evenings. In displacing all these students, and dispersing them to ether locations, and house parties, I believe that net only are you endangering the students themselves, but you are endangering the rest of Iowa City residents. I knew that if this ordinance passes, I will not feel safe walking home on weekends. Bowery St, Johnson St, Iowa Ave, College St, and many of the streets I use to get home will become unsafe for myself, a single female to walk te my home. I am writing this as a home owner who has lived in Iowa City for 10 years, and never felt threatened walking around at night. I believe that the council has good intentions, though I also believe that more research needs to be done in regard to other options for this quandary.

This would merely move the problem to a much less regulated area. Students and young Iowa City residents are not going to stop drinking just because they can't do it at the bars, they will just throw more parties. If a minor drinks at the bars, it is almost certain that when they leave the bar there will be a number of police officers right there in the ped-mall. If a minor gets drunk at a house party, the chances are much smaller that an officer will be in the area if a problem arises. I dont know what the correct solution is to stop underage drinking, but I'm certain that this is not it. 3/7/03 Marian Karr Page 1 ofl From: Joanne Reiland [Joanne_Reiland@biogen.com] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 3:51 PM To: council@iowa-city.org Subject: 21 bar ordinance I am surprised that many of you think this bar ordinance is going to curb underage drinking. It is only going to move to a less visible area, house parties. Binge drinking and drug use are much more likely to occur at house parties than in the bars. At a house party, a cup of beer costs around $5 and no one checks ids. Aisc, at most house parties, at least one room is dedicated to people smoking pot. I recently graduated from the University of Iowa and these are some of the things I noticed while I was there. Why not change the ordinance allowing bar patron to purchase two drinks to only one drink? Students of all ages could still attend the bars and socialize and drink in a more controlled environment than resorting to house parties. If you really want to curb underage drinking, I don't think this is best way.

It has come to our attention that questions surrounding the legitimacy of the survey results, specifically with regard to the representativeness of the sample, have been raised. We are confident that the sample of randomly selected participants who participated in the survey is representative of the population of interest as a whole. From these participants' responses, we can make strong inferences about the population of Iowa City and Coralville residents. The methodology employed was as follows: Population: Methodology: Sample Source: Data Collection Period: Sample Size (error): Iowa City and Coralville residents Telephone survey Random Digit Dialing November 21-27, 2002 n=400 (+ 4.9 pp) Sample Size A sample of 400 provides a sampling error rate of + 4.90 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. In other words, we can be 95% confident that the percentage of people in the true population who would answer "y" is within 4.90 percentage points of the percentage who answered "y" in our sample. Random Selection In order to assure their representativeness, participants were randomly selected to participate in the study using a method referred to as random digit dialing. Random digit dialing is a technique that forms a sampling pool by adding random digits to prefixes known to ring in the sampling area, so as to make it possible to reach households with unpublished or unlisted telephone numbers. Upon initial contact, interviewers knew nothing about the participants other than their phone number. Demographic Similarities The demographic characteristics of the participants further validates their representativeness. For example, gender distributions broke out as 43% male, 57% female. Additionally, the characteristics of the 2002 participants mirrored those of the participants surveyed in 1998. Adequate Representation of University of Iowa Students We understand that there have been questions about whether or not this study has sufficient representation from University of Iowa students because interviews were conducted around Thanksgiving. The time frame in which interviews were conducted (November 21-27) allowed for sufficient contact with students. It is our understanding that most students do not go home until around November 26. Additionally, demographic distributions show that 35% of participants reported having "some college" education, the typical response for students. 21% are between 18 and 24 years old and 59% have attended the University of Iowa. Further Support Additionally, if further confirmation of this study's legitimacy is needed, before it began, the methodology was scrutinized and approved by the Internal Review Board at the University of Iowa. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (617) 441-9944.

First of all there are many students on campus including myself who go to the bars not to drink. I go to the bars to dance, meet people, play pool and overall just have fun. By passing this ordinance I will no longer be able to go to the bars to have fun. There are not very many alternatives to the bar scene in Iowa City and therefore I will be forced to stay at home on weekends because of the lack of activities. Having no activities for students on the weekends will also make perspective students not want to come here which will hurt the economy of Iowa City. In addition the students who currently drink underage at bars will still continue to drink. Instead it will be at house parties which will cause disruptions in residential neighborhoods. There were also be an increased chance of sexual assault or bodily injury because there is no one around like a police officer or bar employee to monitor the safety of it patrons. Before you pass this motion please think about what negative connotations it entails. I agree with you policy about curbing underage drinking but I think you are going about it the wrong way. Thanks for your consideration of my e-mail. I would appreciate a response if possible that addresses some of my concerns so that I can understand hew you are going to prevent all the problems that passing this ordinance will cause.

Now when people ask I am ashamed to say where I am from. I think our slogan should be "Iowa City - A Town with Smart People but No Common Sense". Most of my friends and co-workers agree with me on the topics I discuss below. Let's start with the 21 only law for the bars. You are not going to stop young people from drinking. And quite honestly as a parent ef two young girls in their early 20's I don't want you being their parent. Kids all over the country drink at below the legal drinking age and they will always find a way to de it if they want. If they are not in downtown Iowa City a short walk from where most of them live they will drive somewhere. And that would net be very beneficial! Or they will be partying in residential areas where there will be loud parties and more opportunities for drugs and rape. Again, not a good idea. I would much rather have my girls downtown around a lot of people which reduces these problems. Hany ef the kids in the bars at non-drinking age are hanging out with friends and not drinking. I have gone te some of the bars with my daugthers and see many net drinking alcohol but having much needed fun, dancing and hanging with friends. Let this Council continue to do the things it is doing and there will be no business left in Iowa City. I presume you have a plan for the empty buildings in downtown as bars start to close. Not many other businesses seem to want to be downtown. We have a near empty mall. Restaurants want to serve more alcohol so they can allow smoking. I trust you have noticed all new restaurants are opening in Coralville and those that are in Iowa City, I never have to wait for a table. But in Coralville I have had to wait 30 minutes to an hour. That is sure good for the economy of Iowa City! Now for all the sand on the streets and everywhere. We now talk about when snow is predicted we say "sand" is predicted. It is tracked everywhere. It is so dirty I feel like I live on a gravel road. I slide more on the sand on dry streets than on snow covered streets. Two examples, my daughter was pulling into our driveway when a kid made a quick move in front of her car. She hit the brakes and slide 4 feet and nearly hit the kid. Second, I was walking to my car after work and the light changed so I stopped but nearly fell on the sidewalk sliding on the sand, just as a car was making a turn in front of me. Both could have been very hazardous. We seem to be in a hurry to put so much sand down but not to clean it up. A City employee once told me that someone with the street department was related to someone that is owner of the sand company, or something like that. I never checked this out but the thought of that is bad. No wonder we are putting down more sand than precipitation that falls. Does the City want to pay to have my carpets cleaned from all the sand tracking into the business I manage or my home? Then, with storm water going to peoples back yards, all this sand and other street waste ends up in our back yards. When the City is asked to come remove the sand they spread it out instead of hauling it away. It is a mess and makes keeping the drain clean very difficult because the weight of the sand sticking to the leaves is very hard to haul out. All said, I have been seriously considering moving out of Iowa City. I nearly bought a business in Iowa City but am now happy it didn't work out. I voted for some of this council and will certaining not vote for any again.

Dilkes Subject: 21 and Over Ordinance Dear Mayor and Members o£the Council, I am writing on behalf of the Moen Group. We are committed to developing in Iowa City's central business district and particularly in attracting all age groups to spend time downtown and to live downtown. The Council has done an outstanding job to assure that downtown thrives. I am particularly impressed with your foresight in renovating the pedestrian plaza, supporting public art, the Iowa Avenue Streetscape, the Ground Transportation Center and your willingness to provide financial incentives for development. I believe you paved the way for the overwhelming support of the library expansion. Your efforts have made downtown a very attractive place for us to develop I live downtown and our group owns approximately 10% of the property in the CB I0 district. As a downtown resident and property owner, I have not experienced any problems attributable to drinking downtown by those over or under 21. The dynamic of Iowa City at night must be experienced first hand to really appreciate it. It is thriving and exciting. Walking around town, seeing the open air seating and hearing live music coming from any number of establishments, and seeing the multitude of people is wonderful. My family members, ranging from small children to my parents who are in their 70's, live in other places in the country. They love to stay downtown when they visit Iowa City largely because of the atmosphere at night. Their communities are envious of the vital night life that Iowa City enjoys. 1 understand the arguments on both sides of the 21 ordinance. There is certainly no easy answer. However, we are very concerned that denying those under 21 from access to entertainment venues is not the answer. It artificially tampers with the social environment in our downtown. It is an environment, warts and all, that is very attractive to many of us. The ordinance gives us particular concern for the Plaza Towers project. Our intent had been to devote 3,500 square feet of space to the hotel lobby at the Plaza Towers building. This would have functioned not only as the lobby per se, but also as a venue for rotating fine art exhibits, live music and beverages (including wine and cocktails) and hors devourers. It was modeled after hotels where we have stayed in New York and Chicago. It was designed as a place to attract all ages, including families with children. If an 18 or 20 year old wants to listen to live piano music in this venue, we would not only like to allow that but would promote it. We are concerned that a "21 and Over" law would not allow us to utilize this space as planned. On a broader basis, we are concerned that the ordinance would, in general, have a chilling effect on anyone attempting an innovative business downtown. If the hurdles are too great and business opportunities are too restricted and too controlled, the risk becomes too great. At some point, business opportunities go elsewhere. Skeptics may believe we are concerned about loss of bars as tenants who, according to some, are the ones that can pay high rent. This has nothing to do with our concern. While we lease space to several restaurants which have liquor licenses, we have never leased space to a bar. In our buildings, there is only one bar and it is there by virtue of a sublease. The art of good legislation is to truly address the problem without going so far so as to stifle development or infringe on the rights of others. The proposed "21 and over" ordinance does not deal with the problem (underage drinking will continue) and clearly stifles irmovative development and greatly infringes on the rights of the public. If the goal is to deal with a handful of problematic bars this should be done by enforcement of existing laws, or creation of new ones, that address the problem rather than taking a shotgun approach which could (and I believe would) have far reaching unwanted and unintended negative consequences. 4/7/03 Page 2 of 2 I realize this is a long standing issue which has been hotly debated. I do not claim to know as much about it as those of you who have been involved in the debates. However, I thought you may be interested in the experience and concern of an adult who lives downtown full time, and owns downtown property. From my perspective, things are just fine as they are.

In one of my classes we were asked to write a letter to someone about something that we felt was an issue in Iowa City. I am writing to you because [ have questions and concerns about the 21 and over ordinance at the bars. I understand that by issuing this ordinance that you are only showing the concern of alcohol consumption among minors. But if you think about it by saying that students under the age of 21 may not enter the bars you are making a decision that will end up more than likely hurting the surrounding community. Not only do the bars provide a place for students to hang out, dance and have fun, the students who are paying to get in are bringing money to the community. If this ordinance is followed through with it will not effect me, but I do worry about how it will affect younger students. If they can not get into bars to have fun they will turn to house parties which would lead to problems in the community. People come to Iowa for the atmosphere, and if you take that away I do see people wanting to go other places where they are allowed to have the freedom in their college years.

I have lived in Iowa City my whole life (21 years) and am also a junior attending the University of Iowa. I am writing to disagree with the proposed bar ordinance. Though, if passed, the ordinance would not affect me since I am legally able to drink, I do not agree that this is the best solution to the problem of underage binge drinking. Underage binge drinking is a cultural problem and obviously not limited to downtown Iowa City. All this ordinance does is clear them out of downtown and into neighborhoods where they will be loud and disruptive. Downtown Iowa City, where most of the bars are, is a business district and loud music and parties do not affect residents as much as it will if underage students go outside of the downtown area to party. House parties yield more access to cheaper alcohol, drugs and less prevention from sexual assault and the like, than a supervised bar acting in accordance to rules. I also do not like the idea of people drinking and driving which happens as of now and will most likely increase with this ordinance. With this ordinance, you also eliminate one of the main sources of activities students are interested in. It's not just the access to alcohol, it's also a way to go out with peers, dance to good music and meet new people. Alternative entertainment sources either do not stay open long enough or they aren't suited for a college student's interests. You cannot forget that these students are considered adults in most ways and activities like an arcade do not hold much appeal. You can't stop the problem of underage binge drinking, the problem's source lies far deeper than under-21 bars. What you can do is make it undesirable to drink (more PAULA tickets handed out and raise the fine the student must pay) and to provide a safe haven for those who will drink no matter what. I don't want these underage drinkers in my neighborhood and I don't want downtown Iowa City to become any more of a commerce ghost town than it already is. Please do not pass this ordinance...If you must consider it, at least provide college students access to converse and debate with you. This ordinance will affect this whole town, especially the students. Don't rush the ordinance into effect during the summer, when the college students are 'conveniently' gone. That cheats the people who have just as much right for input as a resident such myself. Thank you for your time and please consider my argument, Sincerely, Gina Morgan gimariemo@aol.com 4/8/03 April 8, 2003 City of Iowa City City Council Iowa City, Iowa Re: 21 and Under Restriction Ordinance Dear Council Members, I am writing this letter to you today for your consideration regarding the proposed Ordinance prohibiting persons under the age of 21 to enter Iowa City area bars. As an established Iowa City area restaurant, it concerns us greatly when the council begins to establish laws that punish and restrict local restaurants. This proposed ordinance is a very good case in point. We understand that perhaps no amount of persuasion is going to derail this ordinance, however we do feel that one point of it MUST be changed in order to prevent a DEVESTATING blow to many local restaurants. That point is the 9:00 p.m. prohibition hour. The council at this time is basically asking restaurants that run a dose split between their sales of alcohol and food to decide which they are, a bar or a restaurant. This would force many established businesses to not allow underage people into their businesses after 7:30 p.m. to eat for fear they may not be out of the building before 9:00 p.m. The council is basically telling restaurants that they cannot provide service to anyone underage that wishes to do nothing but eat after a cedain time. If you observe the eating trends of young people, both college and high school aged, most do not enter restaurants until after 7:00 p.m. This allows a very shod time frame to enjoy a meal at a dining establishment limited by this ordinance. This is a college town. This town depends upon the students that attend the University of Iowa. In the Memorandum dated April 2, 2003 from the City Attorney, he even acknowledged how a similar Ordinance failed in Cedar Falls (another Iowa college town). Des Moines, the council MUST remember, is not a college town. The City Council faces a major crossroads with this Ordinance. You preach economic growth and revitalization of the downtown area. Business and landlords pay taxes from monies earned in the course of business. Yet now you are preparing to drive a knife in the heads of many downtown area businesses. If you are bound and determined to chase the underage drinkers (and you know college freshmen will drink, whether in a bar or in a house or dorm) away from the Pate night downtown Iowa City area, then please allow at least a decent chance for some of these businesses to survive. Please do not make this ordinance effective until at the minimum 10:00 p.m. and at best 11:00 p.m. This gives businesses a chance to have a decent dinner business and perhaps survive this new economic hardship.

The one and only thing that I am concered with the most is cutting kids off from the rich music scene that Iowa City provides to people of most ages. I have been coming up to this town since I was 18 to lissen to the great music that Iowa City has. I would say that I have been to over 100 concerts in this town since I first started coming here. I just don't want this new ordinance to ruin that. Only a very few concerts are at non-bars, actually we don't even have a theater for live music besides Hancher and that excludes the Punk, Jambands, Raggea, Metal, Bluegrass, Jazz for the most. Bars like The Green Room and Gabes that have live music everyday of the week and are 18+ are going to take a big fall. I doubt if they would be able to provides such a great music variety all week long if the 21+ ordinance goes into affect. I have talked to many bands that have came through Iowa City and they love the fact that the people in this town come out and support local music so much. It would deeply hurt me if my fiends were not able to see music that they love so much just because of their age, I am going to be 21 in June so I would be able to get in, but not most of my friends. I understand where you guys are coming from but you should see where, we, the students are coming from. I love music, this town loves music, I don't want to see th e music scene in this town die. Please think about what I have to say, I would die to keep the music scene in this town healthy and I fear without such a place to hold concerts besides a bar or hancher the music scene will weeken, thank you for your time and I hope you think about this. Live music is a big aspect of Iowa City, please don't hurt that.

I want to remind you of my support for the Nuisance Rental Property Regulations and add my voice to those that point out its increased importance in light of the move toward 21-only bars. If the Daily Iowan is correct and underage drinking is pushed out into the neighborhoods, then the tools provided by the Nuisance Rental Property Regulations will be welcome to the neighbors, landlords, and city staff who will have to deal with that side effect. Even if underage drinking doesn't expand in the neighborhoods, the proposals are necessary to correct problems that became institutionalized during years of lax enforcement of the existing codes. I hope that those of you who do not currently support the proposals will appreciate that: 1) the proposals are necessary because of years of accumulated problems and frustrations in neighborhoods all over the city, 2) it is easy for landlords to be unaffected by the proposals--just follow the rules about occupancy, upkeep, etc. 3) there has been an astonishing and heartening increase in energy and attention given to the problems that called the Neighborhood Relations Task Force into being, not only on the part of citizens but also, I am extremely grateful to recognize, on the part of city staff.

Wine advertisers, on the other hand, exposed youth to significantly less radio advertising than adults. "Youth under 21 top the charts when it comes to exposure to alcohol advertising," said the Center's executive director Jim O'Hara. "The fact that kids under 21 hear more beer and distilled spirits ads than people 21 and older should concern everyone who cares about our children." The Center's study found that the alcohol industry routinely overexposed youth to its radio advertising by placing product ads when and where youth were more likely to hear them. Key findings include: · Youth heard more radio ads for beer, "malternatives" and distilled spirits. Underage youth, ages 12-20, heard 8% more beer and ale advertising and 12% more malternative advertising than adults 21 and older. The exposure was even greater for the distilled spirits category, where youth heard 14% more advertising. · Youth heard substantially less radio advertising for wine. Ads for wine were overwhelmingly more effectively delivered to adults than to youth, showing how advertisers can target an adult audience without overexposing youth. · Alcohol ads were placed on stations with "youth" formats. Seventy-three percent of the alcohol radio advertising in terms of gross ratings points was on four formats--Rhythmic Contemporary Hit, Pop Contemporary Hit, Urban Contemporary and Alternative--that routinely have a disproportionately large listening audience of 12- to 20- year-olds. · Youth in African-American and Hispanic communities were overexposed to radio alcohol advertising. These findings were also seen in the African-American and Hispanic radio audiences. For instance, Hispanic youth heard 34% more beer and ale advertising on radio than Hispanic adults, and as much beer and ale advertising on radio was delivered to African- American youth as to African-American adults. "What our study shows is that if you are under 21 you are a target for the alcohol industry's radio ads," O'Hara added. "In fact, 20 of the 160 brands delivered more radio advertising to underage 4/7/03 Radio Daze: Alcohol Ads Tune in Underage Youth Page 2 of 2 youth than to young adults ages 21-34, an age group the alcohol industry routinely describes as its target audience." Over the course of a week, the average teenager listens to 13.5 hours of radio. By comparison, he or she spends 10.6 hours per week watching television, 7.6 hours online, and 3.3 hours reading magazines for pleasure. For advertisers, radio offers targeted selection of an audience, because station formats appeal to narrow demographics. Background on the Report The Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth commissioned Virtual Media Resources (VMR) to audit alcohol radio advertising in 2001 and 2002 and to conduct a case study of alcohol radio advertising in December 2002 and January 2003 to validate the audit findings. The Center's study analyzed a major market sample, drawn by Media Monitors (MMI), of alcohol radio ads in 2001 and 2002 that tracked the actual placement of 87,094 ads in 19 leading markets across the nation and integrated these data with audience information from Arbitron to assess who listened to what and when. In addition, VMR then conducted an in-depth analysis of 11,712 ad placements for five alcohol brands in 63 markets from December 15, 2002 to January 31, 2003. This case study confirmed and amplified the findings from the nationwide sample. This report on radio advertising practices is the fourth study by the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth on the marketing tactics of the alcohol industry. The Center's previous studies on television, magazine and responsibility ads also showed clear overexposure of alcohol product ads to under-21 youth audiences.

It's so logical to only admit people who are of legal drinking age to bars, where the whole point of business is to serve alcohol. Saying you want to curb underage drinking, yet letting underage people into the bars is very contradictory. We question the sincerity of purpose there. In the same way that restaurants have not gone out of business because of no smoking laws, we don't think bars are going to close down because of 21 -only laws.

I do not believe drinking or being in bars is a right. I believe it is a privilege and that privilege can be determined by age, experience and other factors. As a tax paying citizen of Iowa City for the past 30 years, I am very saddened to see the disintegration of the downtown area over the last several years. Downtown Iowa City was always such a vibrant, exciting and diversified area--a place I, as a parent, enjoyed going with my child, to the library, to the fountain, to the play area, to the many festivals and events that took place, and to the many different businesses, restuarants and shops that could be found downtown. Today the only thing I see downtown are people, young and not so young, staggering down the street, vomitting on the street, fighting (at least verbally) on the street. I have essentially quit going downtown. Although I believe students and other young people have a right to voice their opinions and to be heard, I do not believe that most of them are here long enough to become tax paying citizens and long term residents--they do not always understand that what they want or what they demand has long term negative impact that they do not have to stay and face. I also believe that the City of Iowa City and its many residents have a responsibility to curb irresponsible behavior of students and bars (i.e., drink specials, allowing people in bars drink until they are incapcitated or until they become violent. Please consider what is best for Iowa City and its entire population as a whole. Thank you for taking the time to listen.

The sound of that would make one assume the tide is turning against the ordinance. I hope that's not the case, because Iowa City needs a 21-only ordinance. So do the students, though they may not think so right now. I probably would be on their side if I was underage: before I knew enough about the dangers of alcohol, before I'd watched people struggle with alcoholism, and before I watched a person close to me die from the effects of it. There really is more to do in this town than to get drunk. If you pass this ordinance, I'm convinced that students will find healthier ways to have fun. This is a vitally important lesson for them to learn, one that will make their lives better for the rest of their lives. In the meantime, I as a resident will have a safer place to live. There will be less destruction to the town, and the police can spend more time policing the neighborhoods than giving 18-year-olds tickets for drinking. Regarding those 4,000 form letters, were those submitted by people who vote in Iowa City? I suspect many, if not most, do not, and if this is true, then why should they have a say in how this city is run? Even if those students do vote here on occasion, should they really be dictating laws that will stay on the books forever? They're interested in the short-term effects on themselves. I've lived here almost 12 years, and I'm interested in the long-term effects on everyone in this con, unity. The students may have the numbers, plus the backing of Anheuser and other corporate sponsors. Neither of those groups serve the best interest of this community. Please continue on your hard work to pass a 21-only ordinance.

I firmly believe that restricting the minimum age of bar patrons to 21 would do just that. I also believe that this ordinance will just move alcohol-abusive minors to other venues (house parties instead of bars), and it doesn't seem to me that decentralization of the problem will make it any easier to enforce the laws that already exist to address underage drinking. I support more stringent enforcement of existing laws and research into other approaches (e.g., education) to reduce the scale of the problem we face. While all community members' opinions should be considered equally, it is easy to assume that perhaps the opinion of local parents would carry more weight than undergrads on a matter such as this. Though I'm neither, I feel compelled to note that I am 32 and have lived in Iowa City for 18 years.

I am a student at the University of Iowa. I and my fellow students are against the bars going to twenty-one. The bars, although we are underage, are a fun place to hang out even if you are not drinking. Changing the admission of the bars to twenty one is not the solution to stop underage drinking. I know many underage students who have twenty one year old i.d. 's with photos that look like them. Those students never have trouble getting into Iowa Cities bars, and even if the law changed to twenty one, they would still have no trouble. I know all of what I have just said means nothing to you, so maybe this will: Think of the tens of thousands of dollars that this city will loose from not having as many underage drinking tickets.

It seems far more like an attempt by Iowa City to permanently "ground' other people's children while doing very little to address the problem they purport to be solving. If students are driven out of downtown, there will be many more of them at house parties. This is not only a far less safe social situation for young students (and a very threatening situation for young women), but will make alcohol more accessible to another group: high school students. An Iowa City High student could easily go to a keg party with some older friends and buy a cup. This same student would not even attempt to pass for 21 in a bar. Among the flawed assumptions this ordinance is based on is that the only thing people under 21 could possibly do in bars is drink. Most of the social interaction and entertainment available to students downtown is centered around the bars. In these bars, people can gather with friends and enjoy live bands, karaoke or even poetry. I saw a man from Stepping Up being interviewed on television recently. He stressed that there are plenty of other things to do in lieu of going to the bars. The only examples he could provide, however, were "play cards" and "talk to someone." He may have inadvertently demonstrated just how dull student life would be if the 21-only ordinance passed. Iowa City has a vibrant downtown culture and many sources of entertainment. It happens that many of the establishments which provide this entertainment serve alcohol, since their over-21 clientele enjoy it. If we are truly concerned about the health and well-being of underage people in bars, we should call for more strict enforcement of existing laws, not an overarching, vindictive ordinance against all people under 21. The University of Iowa is an important part of Iowa City. People need to understand that if it weren't for the University, Iowa City would not have the cultural diversity or variety of entertainment it has. The fact that such an ordinance is being considered shows how city council is failing a large portion of its constituency.

I am writing out of concern for the 21 only ordinance being proposed for bars in IA City. While I agree that there is a HUGE drinking problem in IA City, I don't feel that restricting bar admittance to those 21 and older is the solution. And while T don't have a solution to this difficult, and common problem in college towns, my concern lies in what will happen if bars do become 21 and older only. I think Lhat there will still be those under 21 getting into bars, that there will be an increase of house parties where it is unsupervised by bar staff and bouncers, where there will be an increased risk for sexual assaults, and fights among party- goers. I feel that if people are going to drink, even underage, it is best to have them be at places where there are other people watching over them. I have heard many people complain about living in downtown IA City due to the house parties and un-kept houses, and I think that problem would also increase if admittance to bars was made 21 and older.

I am potentially being asks to aim a gun at an enemy for the government but also being asked by the government to not only hold a beer but in a acceptable radius near a beer. I have had the opportunity to really observe Iowa City. I view it as the best city in Iowa. A city that is multi-cultural; a true symbol of what makes America great. A city that finds importance in expanding peoples horizons through education and the arts. A city that has managed to be very successful economically, mainly due to its student population This proposal of making the bars 21. Indirectly or directly attacks all of the things I discussed that truly make Iowa City the best city in Iowa. A common problem with many of the cities in Iowa. The growing problem with Iowa's economic infrastructure is keeping Iowa's educated young talent in Iowa. Many things and ways have been discussed on how to keep Iowa's talent in state. This issue or proposal strikes at the very heart of the problem. Iowa's resistance to the younger generation creates the great divide between the state and the educated student. In order to keep and build a relation with the ~nerican youth. You must show concern and care for them. We feel as students, as potential future citizens of Iowa that we are not well represented and not taken seriously by our representatives. You are only creating a greater divide between yourself(the state) and the youth of the state(the future). The problems Iowa faces in the future are huge and should not be underestimated. We have gone through some extreme changes over the last 20 years. The farming industry has reformed 360 degrees. The problem we face does not deal with the past but deals with what steps we will take in the future. This lack of respect toward Iowa's younger generation only feeds the disgust many students have with the state. Care about the youth of Iowa and show them the respect they deserve. The relation between youth and state will pay major dividends in the future. There is no doubt that there should be a lot of changes in the way people live their life. Binge drinking is probably one of them. But please as representatives of this once great state give your education system and youth the respect it deserves. The government does not have the right to tell people how they may live there life. What privately owned establishments they shall be able to walk into. Hopefully the education, the family raising, and the Iowa moral we all speak so proudly about allows us to make the right decision on our own. The answer to the problem of underage drinking is not more laws. More 1 laws, more bureaucracy is not the solution. It hardly ever is. The progressiveness of lawmaking at the state and federal government is leaning ]kmerica toward a totalitarian nation. I think we all know that the founding fathers of our nation ran from such persecution. No government has the right to tell people how to live there life. I feel they did not attend for such ridiculous policy making to be brought about. Safe sex and STD's is a major problem in Iowa City but I don't feel an abstinence movement will be required to stop it. Maybe a little more education. Education is one of the things Iowa is greatly noted for. So why are we not educating and only dictating. I happen to be turning 21 in March. When I discuss this policy many ask why do you even care. It's the point of the policy. It is the precedent that it is setting. It is exactly the problems we should not be focusing on in ~nerica right now. I could argue that cigarettes are much more of a problem than drinking in the Iowa City. I could take a poll, such as the one that appeared in the front page of the Daily Iowa on March 7th and ask is smoking a problem. I'm sure the majority of citizens would say yes, smoker or not. But I can ask them, do you think the city should ban smoking. I can only assume what the results would be. My speculation is the majority would say no. Admitting that there is a problem is very different than desiring a policy or law banning it. Maybe the city council does not realize the importance of such a law. Maybe they don't realize what this represents. Maybe they don't view a alternate solution, the don't see the future economic problems this may have. The students, they do understand. They do find a serious problem with this. They feel disrespected and cheated by our representatives. I can only hope that wrong doings such as this will provoke students to seek residency in Iowa City and help me vote out the elected officials who are trying to destroy certain freedoms given by the constitution. I hope that such wrong doings will make the student population(the future) see the problems with the way our state government is structured. This policy is going to have back-lashes of multiple proportions by the students in this University, underage or not. I only hope that the city is prepared to lose its main source of income and purpose. Aaron Secrest aaron_secrest@yahoo.com Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I have discussed this proposal a great deal with my fellow bar workers and bar workers at other bars, plus some owners. The conclusions we have come upon were that this proposal is a good thing. If people are not old enough to drink, there is no need for them to be in a purely alcohol serving bar. Things are a bit different when food is being served or live acts are present, but when kitchens close, or no live acts are present, there is no need for people who cannot drink to be allowed in these bars. These under 21 people are primarily there for one thing, to drink. Under age drinking is a $20+ billion a year business, the desire to maintain the underage policies is very important to many downtown bars. They receive a great deal of revenue from underage drinkers and everyone knows this. As a bartender it is my responsibility to have to weed out the underage i!legals from the legal drinkers, this is NOT a responsibility I should have to deal with. I am doing my job, serving drinks, and I do not need the worries of serving some underage person illegally as I do my job. Sure things will change, more house parties, more drinking in other places. But these people are ADULTS, just because they are under 21 does not mean they are void of all responsibility! Put the responsibility where it belongs, in their hands, not in the establishments hands. I am a bartender, not a babysitter, there are laws to govern alcohol use, lets not participate in this masquerade any longer, lets address this problem and stop using ill-logic to make it sound as if allowing underage drinkers in bars is right. The only concern I have is that the motives of the city council are not in the actual interest of law and order, but in self serving interests instead. If this is truly a noble pursuit to curb underage drinking and trying to halt the known and repeated problems that come with it, then I am for it. But if the reasoning is to put bars out of business to pave way for members own self serving wants, then it is an insidious affair and I hesitate to support the measures. As stated before, there will need to be allowances for people to see the shows and eat in the restaurants, so good solid language will be needed to make these measures appropriate. If people are just looking for a place to hang out at, then the tenets of capitalism say that new places catering to these underage adults will open up and succeed. The reality is that they will not, because that is not what these people want, they want to drink, not just drink but get drunk, and that is unacceptable. There is a large segment of the bar business that supports the 21 only measure, and I want you to be aware of that. On a side note. The construction of the building down near the Quo and Bruegers Bagels is an absurd mess and needs to be cleaned up. That company is posing a danger to the public in their practices and need to be responsible for their endeavours. Last night leaving my place of work I walked in the alley behind that building and stepped on a board with nails on it, which penetrated my foot. The alley is a horrendous mess as are the walk areas next to that building, i.e. the fire exit are behind 13 Linn, if a fire were to break out in that building and that exit needed, he sure SOMEONE would get hurt, not from the flames or smoke but from the dangerous garbage littering the are just outside of that door.

I currently live in one of the residence halls on campus as my family lives in Illinois so commuting is not an option. In living in the residence hails for more than 6 months now, I have found that it seems like underage drinking is the thing to do here in Iowa City. Most of the residence hall that I live in is freshmen (almost none of which are of legal drinking age), yet on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights I can routinely smell beer coming from rooms (usually because people are drunk inside of them, not because they actually possess alcohol in their room), hear people screaming or talking extremely loudly in the hallways in almost that almost incomprehensible language that people who have had "one too many" seem to use when attempting to talk. It's a disgrace to wake up on a Saturday morning and go into the restroom to find that I have to walk around puddles of human vomit because people couldn't make it to the toilet before throwing up. This condition is not only disgusting, but it is a major human health hazard. People will argue that downtown provides a "safe place" to drink, but that doesn't excuse the fact that when someone under the age of 21 consumes an alcoholic beverage, they are breaking a state law - no "ifs, and's, or but's" about it. I, personally, do not drink, though many of my friends do. One of my friends, for instance, told me of how she had to help her roommate get changed for bed and then rush her to the bathroom because she was going to throw up because she was so incapacitated from the liquor she had consumed. Both girls are 19 years old, and while one of them had nothing to drink that night and the other hinged, it is not uncommon for both of them to "hit the town" and get very drunk on weekends. The occasion I described before happened not on a weekend, but on a Tuesday night. All I have to say is that drinking is illegal if you are under the age of 21. The federal government has required all states to pass laws stating that persons under the age of 21 may not drink in order for states to receive federal tax dollars for highway maintenance and construction. If our elected congress, and indeed, our elected state government, have passed a law requiring people be of proper age before they are allowed to drink, then I see it as the city council's responsibility to pass a similar law. Businesses pay taxes into this city and must maintain permits and incorporation documents (all of which cost money), and thus, are paying the city, state, and federal government for the right to run a business on American soil. In doing so, they must agree to follow the laws set forth by the governments that allow them incorporation. By serving alcohol to those under the age of 21, they are breaking the law. By serving to people who are over the age of 21 who then give the beverages to people who are underage in the same establishment, they are breaking the law. By serving to people with fake ID's, they are breaking the law. And students, by drinking under the age of 21, no matter the reason (aside from the obvious religious excuses such as a taste of wine at church, etc.) are breaking the law. It is the responsibility of this city council to resolve a city-level problem once its cause is known. That problem is underage drinking - and the cause is a clear lack of enforcement of current drinking laws. The only viable solution to demonstrate that the government is doing their part to resolve this issue is to pass the 21-only ordinance this spring. I simply ask the government to be reasonable and logical when debating the merits of this ordinance - almost all alcohol- serving night clubs and almost all bars in Chicago are open only to those people over the age of 21 for the exact reason the bars in Iowa City should only be open to those over 21 - underage drinking is ILLEGAL no matter which way you try to deflect the blame. If underage people go and drink at house parties, they are willfully breaking the law and they know it. The consequences of their actions (regardless of what the Daily Iowan says about increased "binge drinking, drug use, and sexual assault,") are their own responsibility. If these students wish to break the law and put themselves in danger by drinking at a house party, that is their own fault - after all, those who break the law tend to think 'Tm an adult, I should be able to drink regardless of the law," or "That's a stupid law that treats me like a child," - so why not treat them as adults and let them feel the real consequences of their actions? It is time Iowa City stopped turning a blind eye to drinking and started doing something about the problem of underage drinking downtown. By ignoring the facts, the polls, and the community (including the extended community such as parents of students from outside of the state), the council would be contributing to a serious problem in this city. Please pass the 21-ordinance, for the sake of students, parents, the community, and most of all, the law.

Consideration of raising the drinking age to 21 has adversely affected the rental and sale of property in the City. Whether drinking will be curbed by this action is highly questionable. Statistics would seem to indicate it simply drives patrons elsewhere. I do know that it definitely affects property value and the unique character of the central city. Less traffic means less business and less value. There must be a better way to handle this problem, other than devaluation or destruction of our core area. I urge you to consider the consequences of a well intentioned measure which may create a worse condition than now exists. Roy C.

I'm grateful they were able to get into bars when they were in high school. I feel strongly that it kept them safe and out of trouble. They and their friends were passionate about their music, and especially about going to live shows. I would much rather have them come home excited about the bands they saw than have no place to go to hear live music and dance. The alternative most probably would have been riding around looking for a way to get beer or drugs, both of which almost every teenager can find access to. The most frightening part is that kids probably also comsume them while riding in a car. Please keep the entertainment venues open to those under 21. Julie Schweser 1 Acorn Court Iowa City 52246 3/7/03 Marian Karr Page 1 of l From: Kevin and Linda Dellsperger [LKBD@mchsi.com] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 6:18 PM To' council@iowa-city.org Subject: 21 and smoking ordinances Dear Council Members, I followed the process of the no smoking ordinance and more recently the desire to restrict bars to over 21 year olds. The operational issue that has been difficult to manage is whether the establishment is a bar or restuarant. Given the many reasons for alcohol licenses, I can understand that ambiguity. However, the desire of most of the public based on the Stepping up survey (I was one of the participants of the survey) to restrict admission to bars to those over 21 years old gives the council a unique opportunity to have the declaration of establishment type made by the owner/operators. I should first state, that my preference on the no smoking ordinance would be to ban smoking in any public establishment (bar or restuarant) based on the public health issues. However, given the desires of the council, my suggestion is to partner the no smoking and over 21 ordinances. If an establishment declares itself a bar, they are subject to the over 21 restriction, but given the current desire of the council, could permit smoking. Conversely, if the establishment declares itself a restuarant, all ages are permitted to enter and the establishment is non smoking. This would clearly result in many establishments declaring their intent and prevent the difficult challenge of validation and enforcement presented by the no smoking ordinance as it currently stands. Enforcement and validation of a 21 restriction for bars would be equally challenging. If you would like to discuss this idea further with me, please do not hesitate to contact me. Kevin C.

Like you, I am concerned about the problem of excessive drinking among the college students in our community. However, prohibition of those under 21 from downtown bars will not solve the problem, it wiI1 simply relocate it. And it will relocate it to the very neighborhoods, those abutting the downtown, that have been asking for assistance in dealing with noise and disorderly conduct. Both logic and experience have taught me that if students are prohibited from socializing in bars, they will socialize in homes and apartments, locations where excessive drinking is more not less likely to occur and where the deterioration of neighborhoods will only be accelerated. I understand that this policy is being considered as an easier fix than a change in the downtown zoning regulations. It may be easier to draft as legislation, but it is no fix. It will create more problems than it solves. I urge you to tackle the more difficult, but potentially more successful route, of zoning regulation. Sincerely, Eric Gidal 714 N.

[ OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT 101 Jessup Hall Iowa City, Iowa 52242 1316 , ~,F '-' ' ~ 319 335-3549 ~ "* Fax319-335-0807 Dear Mayor Lehman: Pleas.e accept my gratitude for the time you and the members of the City Council have taken to examine how we can collectively reduce the harmful effects of excessive alcohol consumption. I also write to express my support and that of the University central administration for an Iowa City ordinance to keep minors out of bars. This position will not be popular with some of our students, of course. I want them to know that I agree with and support former UI Student Government President Nick Herbold's emphasis on the safety of students. However, there is research that tells us that reducing access to alcohol by enforcing the minimum legal drinking age of 21 may improve the safety of our students and our community. A 21-only ordinance shows promise as one method for moving toward accomplishing that goal. Still, I want University of Iowa students to know that I will work with them to pursue alternative venues for late-night social interaction. Through the Stepping Up Project, we will continue to offer mini-grants for students and student groups willing to organize such activities. I am open to other ideas that can be pursued by students, the University, the City, and private enterprise. Why are we concerned about drinking? Simply put, too many people in our community are drinking too much, harming themselves, and harming others. That includes University of Iowa students and college students from other cities, who come to Iowa City because those other cities already have 21-only ordinances. The statistics about the harms caused by excessive drinkers are alarming. As you know, the University of Iowa has for several years participated in the College Alcohol Study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health. Here are some of the findings from Harvard's surveys of UI students: · Nearly two-thirds of UI students meet the criteria for binge drinking, a number well above the national average. · Two-thirds of our students have had their study interrupted by drunken peers. · 33 percent of our students have been pushed, hit or assaulted by drunken peers. · 25 percent of our students have had their property damaged by those who drink too much. Just as important, community members have voiced concerns about property damage, late- night noise, threats of violence, and actual violence that results, in part, from alcohol abuse. As President of The University of Iowa, I cannot remain silent or inactive while the quality of our educational experience is compromised. As a member of the Iowa City community, I am compelled to act when the safety of our community is threatened. I am encouraged that a recent survey conducted by a professional public opinion research firm found that a significant majority of Iowa City and Coralville residents agree that underage drinking is a serious problem and that they support this ordinance as well. Still, public opinion is one thing. Is there evidence that a 21-only ordinance will help? Fortunately, there is research that indicates it may. In a report called "A Call to Action: Changing the Culture of Drinking at U.S Colleges," the Task Force of the National Advisory Council on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism offered recommendations to college and university presidents on the potential effectiveness of current strategies to reduce the harmful effects of excessive drinking. It concluded that the minimum legal drinking age of 21 is the most well-studied alcohol- control policy and the most successful in reducing underage drinking and alcohol-related problems, especially when it is consistently enforced. Theoretically, it is possible to enforce the minimum legal drinking age even while allowing minors in bars. However, despite the best efforts of the police and bar owners, our experience indicates that minors who go into bars are not only drinking, but often drinking to excess. Surveys by the Harvard researchers indicate that 85 percent of UI underage students who go to bars are able to obtain alcohol and that 65 percent of them drink to get drunk. It is unrealistic to believe that all of this does not contribute significantly to the high level of harmful effects experienced by UI students and our community. We have an obligation to take steps to reduce those harms. One way to improve enforcement of the minimum legal drinking age is to keep minors out of bars in the first place. I believe it is time to try a 21-only ordinance to see if it can help bring this problem under control. Please understand that I do not suggest a 21-only bar ordinance is the singular solution to this problem. If you pass this ordinance, we will need to carefully monitor whether the 21-only ordinance actually leads to a reduction in the harmful effects of excessive drinking. We must also monitor whether we are simply pushing the problem somewhere else, such as our neighborhoods. I am hopeful that Ames' experience with instituting a 21-only ordinance will be repeated here. We are told that the new law did not result in more house parties. As I mentioned earlier, in addition to pursuing policies that reduce access to alcohol, we also need to broaden entertainment options for UI students. I believe the 21-only ordinance will also contribute to that goal by putting all bars on a level playing field competitively and by providing an incentive for entrepreneurs to develop non-alcoholic entertainment venues for young adults. Thank you for all of your efforts to balance the rights of adults who drink responsibly with everyone's right to have a safe and healthy community in which to live, work, study and have fun.

Bars and restaurants provide a safer environment than private parties. 2. it is not illegal to dance, play billiards and arcade games, attend drag shows, attend concerts and bands, listen to poetry readings, watch comedy shows or socialize. 3. The ordinance will force several entertainment venues out of business. 4. Many restaurants that are subsidized by the entertainment venues will be forced out of business. 5. Late night dining w~ll be restricted. 6. Many full time jobs and hundreds of high paying student jobs will be lost. 7. Students will be less likely to attend The University of Iowa. Students will be less likely to have visitors come to Iowa City. 8. Bars and restaurants contribute a substantial amount of money to Iowa City charities and philanthropies. I agree that underage ddnking and over consumption of alcohol is an issue in Iowa City. I do not agree new regulation or laws are the way to solve it. I suggest enforcing current laws, education, social norming and forming a task force of community members to work together with the city are better alternatives to solve the issue.

Signed: Print Name: Address: Age (Optional): Marian Karr Page 1 of 1 From: Clash88@aol.com Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2003 12:51 PM To: council@iowa-city.org Subject: 21 only bar ordinance I am writing to express my opposition to the 21 only ordinance in Iowa City bars. Not only would this ordinance not address the real issues with alcohol in Iowa City (being the adverse affects due to alcohol consumption), but it might actually increase underage drinking. This will increase unsupervised house parties that lead to a number of problems caused by alcohol (i.e. drunk driving, assault, alcohol poisoning, disturbances of neighborhood peace) and minors who would normally go to the bar and not drink for fear of getting in trouble may now begin drinking at these house parties. Simply put, the problem will just be moved to a new, uncontrolled location and the affects alcohol has on the community will worsen. Also, there are many events that occur in bars that should be accessible to people of all ages. Thousands of bands come through Iowa City and it would be deeply saddening if not all people could come and experience live music simply because they're not 21 years old. Fines work. Bartenders are not going to serve minors when they have serious consequences facing them. This is their job- as well as cutting people off who've had too much to drink, being sure that fights are stopped and everyone is protected to the best of their ability. There is too much at risk to ban all underage people from bars. There is also a large amount of soda and juice sold at bars to underage people who come for reasons besides drinking. If you want to address the issues caused by underage drinking- this is not the answer, if you want to address the issues caused by underage drinking in bars- use fines for bartenders and minors. As a bartender myself, I can say that it is not in my interest or any of my co-workers to serve minors and I support consequences for those who do.

Dear Iowa City Council Members, I am writing to you to express my objection to the passing of an ordinance, which would prohibit underage adults from entering an alcohol-licensed establishment. I acknowledge that underage drinking and over consumption of alcohol are issues that should be addressed in Iowa City, but I believe that the proposed ordinance would have negative effects on my community for the following reasons: 1. Bars and restaurants provide a safer environment than private parties. 2. It is not illegal to dance, play billiards and arcade games, attend drag shows, attend concerts and bands, listen to poetry readings, watch comedy shows or socialize. 3. The ordinance will force several entertainment venues out of business. 4. Many restaurants that are subsidized by the entertainment venues will be forced out of business. 5. Late night dining will be restricted; 6. Many full time jobs and hundreds of high paying student jobs will be lost. 7. Students will be less likely to attend The University of Iowa. Students will be less likely to have visitors come to Iowa City. 8. Bars and restaurants contribute a substantial amount of money to Iowa City charities and philanthropies.

The ordinance will force several entertainment venues out of business, 4. Many restaurants that are subsidized by the entertainment venues will be forced out of business. 5. Late night dining would be restricted. 6. Many full time jobs and hundreds of high paying student jobs will be lost. 7. Students will be less likely to attend The University of Iowa.

I do not agree new regulation or laws are the way to solve it.
