Linn Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 CITY' CLERK IOWA C T7, IOWA Dear Ms. Kopping, Than you very much for the delightful volunteer breakfast party given by the staff and commission last Friday. It was a nice opportunity to meet old friends and especially to make new ones. Volunteering is a pleasure, so the party is an extra bonus. Thus my dismay to find the new Post at hom. e extolling "The Center." The name is: The Senior (~enter. In May the Senior Center staff received the permission from the City Council to proceed with the plan to charge memberships, to change program emphasis and structure, and to modify the Post. As a part of the package, it was to study the possibility of changing the name. The Council was clearly not in favor of a name change, but allowed the name change study to go forward. The use of the name "The Center" on Post and other communications as well as on the gift bag, will circumvent your promise to the Council to conduct a study. Instead, by unilaterally calling it "The Center" rather than its legal term which includes the name "Senior," the citizens of Iowa City will be presented with a fait accompli. I am very disappointed that the name change issue should be subverted in this fashion. An impartial study group, proposing possible changes which are then voted on by the users/citizens of Iowa City/Johnson County would be an excellent way to address this issue. It is what the City Council and the citizens were promised. It is the legal and ethical way to explore and decide the issue. I urge you to refrain from using the term "The Center' or any other term until your study group reports back to you, followed perhaps by a citizens' selection from the choices presented to them. Only when and if the City Council agrees to a change should the Senior Center call itself another name. Respectfully yours, Patricia N. Ephgrave Vice-Chair of the Johnson County Task Force on Aging. Marian Karr From: Hagen, Gary [gary-hagen@uiowa.edu] Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 10:41 AM To: 'cou ncil@iowa-city.org' Subject: Cable TV Rates I often wonder why a person in Algona, Iowa, receives as many or more channels for 30 bucks compared to the $45 we pay here. The answer is simple, competition. This town needs a competitor for Mediacom. As a person who worked to get IC cable TV in 1978, I am disappointed with the constant rate increases.

The cable TV rates are and have been of great concern to the City of Iowa City. Unfortunately due to three Federal laws passed by Congress in 1984, 1992 and 1996 the cable TV industry has been largely deregulated in terms of rates. As a result cable TV companies can charge what they desire from one community to another. However, since the City has maintained it's certified status with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the ability to regulate basic service rates is maintained. Each time the cable company has attempted to raise these rates the City has challenged the rates they have proposed. So far, the City has won each challenge, in many cases saving subscribers money. Competition is certainly one solution to this situation. To that end the City has over the years sent out packets of demographic and economic information about Iowa City to "over-builders", or cable companies whose business it is to go into communities with existing cable systems and compete with them. The City did receive some interest from a few companies until the stock market took a down turn with the dot corn business crash. Most of these over-builders have since gone out of business and have not been active in pursuing such projects. Another possible solution is municipal ownership. In previous studies the City has conducted it has been determined that in nearly all identified successful municipally owned cable TV systems the City also owned a electrical utility that was used to capitalize the cable TV system. Such is not now the case in Iowa City. 1~ hope this has been of some help. If you wish to discuss this matter further or have any further questions, please feel to contact me.

Flora Cassiliano 219 Ronalds Street Message Marian Karr From: Donald Baxter [donald.baxter@mchsi.com] Sent: Monday, July 07, 2003 3:15 PM To: council@iowa-city.org Subject: Parking and Parking Tickets in Iowa City I have but one word for people who think Iowa City has a parking problem: Lazy. When people tell me they have problems parking in downtown Iowa City they shourd correct themselves. VVhat they really mean is that they have problems parking directly in front of the establishment they wish to visit. They mean to say they have problems with the idea of paying for the privilege of parking. They mean to say they don't think they should have to walk anywhere. Contrary to popular opinion, parking is not a right--and neither is driving. Parking tickets in Iowa City can't be expensive enough to cover the costs of simplistic and ineffective development policies downtown. Parking and driving carry not-so hidden costs. If Iowa City were to foot the bill for the sort of parking that drivers seem to want in the downtown core, what few reasons that Iowa City has for being a destination will disappear. Iowa City has arready lost 70% of what charm it had when "urban renewal" was foisted on the city in the late 1970s. A substantial part of that project was an effort to make rowa City more accessible by car. Making Iowa City more "car-friendly" is not an effort that we should continue because it hasn't worked, and the city has suffered for the policy. One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Iowa City needs a permanent downtown population but the City Council provides no leadership in this area. The council will subsidize hideous parking garages that don't fit the scale of downtown. The council won't subsidize or encourage housing for downtown that would make parking less necessary. We'll pay for the cars, but we won't create the conditions to make Iowa City a place where a car is an option instead of a necessity. Iowa City is becoming a lesser town for this attitude. I highly doubt the people that write that they don't come to Iowa City because of "parking problems" are people who would come here anyway. Some peopre prefer the charmless parking lots and shopping malls of Coralville and Cedar Rapids. I'm not one of them.

Dubuque St. frontage road between Bjaysville Lane and Ventura Avenue As directed by Title 9, Chapter 1,3B of the City Code, this is to advise the City Council of the following action. Action: Pursuant to Section 9-1-3A(10) of the City Code, signs indicating NO PARKING ANYTIME will be installed on both sides of the N. Dubuque St. frontage road between Bjaysville Lane and Ventura Avenue. Comment: This action is being taken at the request of the Fire Department to preserve a 20' wide fire lane. The N. Dubuque St. frontage road is a public street with a width of 22 feet. Vehicles parking on both sides of the street create a hazard for emergency vehicle access. Section 9-1-3A(11) of the City Code gives the City authority to regulate parking for safety hazards on public or private streets. mgr/agd/aw-agd.doc City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: July 2, 2003 To: City Clerk From: Anissa Williams, JCCOG Traffic Engineering Planner ~ Re: Item for July 15, 2003 City Council Meeting: Approval of STOP signs at nine intersections along Old Highway 218 due to transfer of jurisdiction of Highway 921 As directed by Title 9, Chapter 1, Section 3B of the City Code, this is to advise the City Council of the following action.

Riverside Drive (north of Moore Business Forms), S. Riverside Drive (south of Moore Business Forms), UI Printing entrance, Iowa City Airport entrance and three entrances to Iowa City Transit. In all cases the local street/business entrance will be signed to stop at Old Highway 218, which is an aderial street. Comment: This action is required by the transfer of jurisdiction of Iowa Highway 921 from Iowa DOT to the City of Iowa City that has been mandated by the state legislature. It is consistent with City policy to sign the right-of-way at the intersections of local streets with collector or arterial streets. Ruppert Road has already been approved in prior Council action. The Iowa Highway 921 designation will no longer exist, and the street will revert back to its City of Iowa City name, Old Highway 218. jccogtp/mem/aw7-2-03 doc City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: July 7, 2003 To: City Clerk ~ From: Anissa Williams, JCCOG Traffic Engineering Planner Re: Item for July 15, 2003 City Council Meeting: Installation of a STOP sign at the intersection of Court Street and Berkeley Lane As directed by Title 9, Chapter 1, Section 3B of the City Code, this is to advise the City Council of the following action.
