Re: Your letter of March 18, 1997 on the alignment of Scott Boulevard at the Rochester Avenue intersection
Dear Bruce:
Scott Boulevard between Muscatine Avenue and Rochester Avenue was constructed by the City in two phases in
the 1970s and 1980s. As an adjacent property owner you are well aware of the various issues that were associated
with its design. Most of this segment does not follow the old county road right-of-way. This includes the intersection
with Rochester Avenue, where a decision was made to alter the alignment. This was done for two reasons: to avoid
Mr. Zajicek's property, and because a' 90° intersection at Rochester Avenue was considered a better-engineered
design than a skewed intersection.
The old Scott Boulevard easement has been retained by the City to allow us flexibility in future decision making. At
the time Scott Boulevard was redesigned to intersect Rochester Avenue at 900, it was not planned to extend Scott
Boulevard further north for many years. At the present time the extension of Scott Boulevard north of Rochester
Avenue is an unfunded Capital Improvement Program project in the City budget for beyond the year 2003. The
specific timing of this extension will be influenced by the desire of property owners north of Rochester Avenue to
redevelop their property. At the present time these property owners do not desire to redevelop their property.
When a decision is made to reconstruct Scott Boulevard north of Rochester Avenue, the City will consider realigning
the south approach of the Scott Boulevard/Rochester Avenue intersection or the north approach. Either option will
create a 4-way intersection. Retention of the easement for the old road will allow us flexibility in making this future
decision. After the decision regarding the alignment of the 4-way intersection is made, the disposition of the subject
property will be decided. The answers to your questions regarding required set-backs, City maintenance and other
landuse issues will be dictated not only by the intersection alignment, but by the existing types of development,
proposed uses and traffic patterns existing in the area at the time.
Sincerely,
Naomi J. Novick

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council ,
FROM' Administrative Assistant ~
DATE: May 9, 1997
RE: Public Use of Parking Facilities for Events
This note is to inform you of United Action for Youth's (UAY) Flea Market to be
held in Chauncey Swan Ramp on Saturday, June 7 between 8:00 a.m. and
2:00 p.m. Jim Swaim, UAY Executive Director is expecting a large event
consisting of 175 vendors and, hopefully, 3,000 shoppers. Farmer's Market will
occupy the lower level, and UAY will utilize half of the second level through the
top floor.
I collaborated with Joe Fowler, Bill Dollman, Kevin O'Malley, and Eleanor Dilkes
to incorporate use of ramps into our permit application process. A section was
added to our application making the applicant monetarily responsible for clean-
up (if not performed satisfactorily). Also, the minimum insurance requirement for
personal injury increased from $300,000 to $500,000 if a ramp is involved.
UAY's use of the Chauncey Swan Ramp is a trial event. If, after the trial, it
appears use of ramps is a viable option, ramps could be an additional public
area available to nonprofit organizations. Holding such events in the ramp will
also introduce and familiarize citizens with our ramps. The City might consider
sponsoring events such as an art show similar to Thieves' Market in which local
artists could sell their wares.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE CREATING A POLICE ClTIZEN'S REVIEW BOARD TO ASSIST THE
CITY IN PROCESSING CITIZEN COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE POLICE DEPART-
MENT AND ASSURING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS RESPONSIVE TO COMMUNITY
NEEDS.
WHEREAS, the City Council for the City of Iowa City desires to create a police citizen's review
board ("PCRB") to assure that investigations into claims of police misconduct are fair, thorough, and
accurate; and
WHEREAS, the PCRB is designed to assist the Police Chief, the City Manager and the City Council
in evaluating the overall performance of the Police Department as a whole, by having the PCRB review the
Police Department's investigation into citizen complaints; and
WHEREAS, the combination of these two purposes will better assure the citizens of Iowa City that
the Iowa City Police Department's performance is in keeping with community standards.
NOW, THEREFORE, RE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA
THAT:
I. Creation of a Police Citizen Review Board
As permitted under Iowa's home rule authority, the City of Iowa City hereby creates a Police
Citizen's Review Board, to be hereafter referred to as the "PCRB" or the "Board," subject to the
duties and limited powers set forth herein.
II.
Intent, Goals and Guiding Principles
It shall be the intent of this City Council that the Board assist the City in achieving the following goals
and carrying out the following principles:
The City Council desires to assure itself, as well as the community, that investigations into claims
of inappropriate conduct by sworn police officers will be fair, thorough, accurate, and that an annual
reporting system will give the City Council sufficient information to assess the overall performance
of the Iowa City Police Department.
One method of achieving this goal is to establish a Police Citizen's Review Board, which will
1. Oversee a monitoring system for tracking receipt of complaints lodged against sworn police
officers;
Ordinance No.
Page 2
Provide oversight of police investigations by establishing a system for Board review of such
investigations;
Provide the opportunity for a hearing to the officer if the Board's findings on the complaint
are critical of the police officer, as required by constitutional law, and listen to both the police
officer's and the complainants' version of the story;
Issue a final Public Report on the complaints to the City Council, finding the complaint
"sustained" - meaning the facts are true and the conduct is not appropriate, or the complaint
is "not sustained," meaning the conduct is appropriate.
The Board shall have no authority over police disciplinary matters, since only the Police Chief or City
Manager may impose discipline under Iowa law.
,~ No findings in the Board's Report shall be used in any other legal proceeding.
The Board shall only review the conduct of sworn police officers, and may only act in a civil capacity
(not criminal). The Board is not intended to be a court of law, a tort claim process or other litigation
process, and shall not preclude a citizen from filing a claim or a lawsuit against the City.
A complaint may be filed by any person with personal knowledge of an incident, but may also be
filed by the City Manager, the Police Chief, the City Council, or the Board itself.
In order to assure that citizens feel confident in the complaint process, it is the Council's intention
that receipt of complaints shall be by a neutral or non-police City staff at a neutral location, and t'hat
~ediation be available to citizen and officer(s) at any time during the process. ,~
The Board shall not interfere with or diminish the legal rights of sworn police officers, including those
rights protected under the union contract, Civil Service Commission, and state and federal law.
Similarly, the Board shall respect the rights of privacy and freedom from defamation shared by
citizen complainants and witnesses, as well as those same rights enjoyed by police officers under
the law.
The Council finds that internal accountability within the Police Department is a valid legislative
purpose, and one method of accomplishing such internal accountability is to have the police do their
own investigations into claims of inappropriate police conduct. If a complaint is asserted against the
Police Chief, the City Manager will investigate the claim and report to the Board.
Ordinance No.
Page 3
Investigation of all complaints will be a mandatory duty of the Police Chief, with a report of the
complaint investigation given to the Board. However, internal affairs investigations for possible
discipline will continue to be carried out by the Police Chief as a personnel matter, but such matters
shall not be reviewed by the Board, and shall generally remain confidential. If the Police Chief and
the City Manager find the officer's actions constitute misconduct and discipline is imposed by the
Police Chief or City Manager, the internal affairs investigation MAY become a public record to be
released by the City Attorney and City Manager.
The City Council desires external accountability for the actions of its Police Department, and one
method of assuring this external accountability is to require all complaint investigations be reviewed
by the Board and reported to the City Council.
External accountability will further be provided by the Board's maintenance of a central registry of
all complaints. The Board shall provide an annual report to the City Council, which report shall be
public and shall set forth the general types and numbers of complaints, how they were disposed of,
demographic information, and recommendations as to how the Police Department may improve its
community relations or be more responsive to community needs.
The Board shall have oversight authority to review police practices, procedures, and written policies
from time to time, as those practices and procedures relate to the Police Department's performance
as a whole, and shall report same to the City Council, including any recommended changes.
III. Definition of Complaint; Complaint Process in General
A "complaint" is defined as an allegation of misconduct lodged against a sworn police officer
("police officer" or "officer") employed by the Iowa City Police Department, where the
complained-of activity occurred while the officer was on duty or was acting in their capacity
as a sworn police officer.
Any person with personal knowledge of the alleged police misconduct, including direct
observation of such police behavior, may file a complaint with the Iowa City PCRB on forms
provided by the Board. In addition and regardless of personal knowledge, the City Manager,
the Police Chief, the City Council or the Board itself may file a complaint based on a
reasonable belief that police misconduct has occurred. The person or official filing the
complaint may hereafter be referred to as "complainant" or "citizen complainant." Complaint
forms shall be available at neutral locations to be designated by the Board, and shall be
received by neutral (non-police) staff assigned to the Board.
Ordinance No.
Page 4
All complaints filed with the Board will be in writing, but a complaint may be filed by a
designated representative of a citizen who is underage or who is otherwise unable to
complete the complaint form. Complaint forms shall be available to the public, in easily
accessible locations, and assistance may be available to complete the form -- all as
designated by the Board.
The Board shall adopt procedural rules and bylaws governing receipt and processing of
complaints, but it is the City Council's intent that complaints should be filed within sixty (60)
calendar days of the incident. It is the further intent of the City Council that only those
complaints which do not involve the conduct of an Iowa City sworn police officer may be
subject to "summary dismissal" by the Board.
IV. Meditation
Mediation shall be the responsibility of the Board, and shall be available to the involved
parties (citizen and officer) at any stage of the process upon consent of all involved parties
and as provided by the Board. It is the City Council's intent that upon the filing of a
complaint, all citizen cemplainants shall be informed that mediation is then available.
If a complaint is successfully mediated, the terms of the mediation agreement shall be set
forth in writing, and shall be kept confidential; but the status of settlement shall be main-
tained in the Board's central registry for reporting in the Board's annual report. There shall
be no retaliation against police officers who choose not to mediate.
Mandatory Police Department and Police Chief Duties; City Manager Duties
Investigation
It shall be the mandatory duty of the Police Chief to do the following:
Prior to investigation of any citizen complaint, the Police Chief shall first give Garrity.
and Gardner advice to all police officers implicated in the complaint, as required by
constitutional law.
Police Department inquiry into officer misconduct and disciplinary matters shall not
be a part of the PCRB process, but shall remain a personnel matter for the Police
Chief and the City Manager. So also, nothing in the PCRB process shall prevent the
Police Chief from taking disciplinary action prior to the Board's review or the Board's
Report to the City Council.
Ordinance No.
Page 5
Inform citizen and police officer that mediation is available at any stage in the PCRB
process.
Assign the complaint to designated investigators within the Police Department for
investigation into the factual allegations of the complaint. However, any investigative
matters of an "internal affairs nature" into potential disciplinary matters may be
completed by the same investigators at the direction of Police Chief, but such
personnel matters or disciplinary matters shall remain confidential until release by the
City Attorney and City Manager as provided by law.
The citizen complainant shall be interviewed by the Police Department and shall be
entitled to have a neutral City staff or some other person present during the interview.
The police officer is entitled to have a union steward present during any interviews
during the PCRB process.
Investigators will prepare and forward a report of their investigation to the Police
Chief, and shall make detailed findings of fact as to the allegations in the complaint,
and shall also set forth a written conclusion either that the complaint is "sustained"
and the officer's conduct not appropriate, or a conclusion the complaint is "not
sustained" and the officer's conduct is appropriate.
The investigators' report shall be given to the Police Chief in a format consistent with
the intent of the PCRB ordinance and in plain English.
If litigation relating to the matter of the complaint is commenced or is being contemplated
by or against any party to the complaint, the Police Department, the Police Chief and/or the
Board shall consult with the City Attorney and/or the Board's own attorney on a case-by-
case basis, to determine whether and how the investigation of the complaint should proceed.
If a complaint is filed concerning the Police Chief's conduct, the City Manager shall
investigate or cause an investigation to be completed.
Police Chief's Report to the Board; City Manager's Report to the Board
The Police Chief shall receive the designated investigators' report within the time frame
indicated by the Police Chief. The Police Chief shall conduct a review of the investigators'
report, and may do any or all of the following: conduct interviews or request the police
investigators to conduct additional investigations; request additional information, or that
additional questions be asked; interview or direct that other persons or witnesses be inter-
viewed; request that other documents be reviewed and/or retrieved; and any other
Ordinance No.
Page 6
investigative matters the Police Chief deems appropriate to accurately and fairly investigate
the complaint.
The Police Chief will consult with City Personnel staff and the City Attorney prior to finalizing
the investigation Report to the Board, and the Chief shall then forward the Chief's Report
to the Board, which shall include the following:
Detailed written findings of fact concerning the allegations in the complaint.
A written conclusion as to whether the complaint is "sustained," meaning the
complaint is factually accurate, but also the conduct was not appropriate; or a written
conclusion that the complaint is "not sustained," meaning either not substantiated as
factually accurate or that the conduct is deemed appropriate.
-- Recommended remedial actions excluding discipline.
In preparing the Chief's Report to the Board, the Chief shall use a "reasonable basis"
standard typically used in administrative matters, relying on evidence which reasonably
prudent persons are accustomed to rely on for the conduct of their serious affairs.
A copy of the Chief's Report to the Board shall be given to the police officer, the citizen
complainant if appropriate, and the City Manager. If the complaint concerns the Police Chief,
copies of the City Manager's Report to the Board shall be given to the Police Chief and the
citizen complainant.
It is the City Council's intent that the Chief's Report to the Board shall be completed within
thirty (30) calendar days of the complaint being filed, but the Board's procedural rules and
by-laws governing timelines shall address extensions for good cause shown.
All investigations shall be performed in a manner designed to produce a minimum of
inconvenience and embarrassment to all parties--including the citizen, the police officer, and
other witnesses.
If a complaint is filed concerning the Police Chief, the City Manager's Report shall include
the same findings of fact and conclusions as required for the Police Chief's Report to the
Board.
Vl. Mandatory Duties of the Board: Complaint Review and General Duties
A. Mandatory duties regarding complaint review.
Ordinance No.
Page 7
The Board shall receive all complaints, and either forward the complaint to the Police Chief
for investigation; or where the complaint concerns the Police Chief, forward the complaint
to the City Manager for investigation.
The Board shall review all Police Chief Reports and City Manager Reports concerning
completed investigations of all complaints as set forth below.
Review of Police Chief Report or City Manager's Report
Regardless of whether the Report to the Board is from the Police Chief or City Manager, if
the Report to the Board is critical of the sworn police officer's conduct, the Board shall offer
a "name-clearing hearing" to the officer, consistent with constitutional due process law, and
shall give notice of such hearing to both the police officer and the citizen that they may
appear before the Board and be heard. The Board shall be responsible for protection of all
state and federal rights enjoyed by both the officer and the citizen. The officer may waive
the right to this hearing upon written waiver submitted to the Board.
If the Report to the Board (whether from Police Chief or City Manager) is not critical of the
officer's conduct, the Board is not required by law to offer a hearing to the officer, but the
Board may hold hearings as deemed appropriate by the Board.
All hearings of the Board shall comply with applicable state and federal law.
Regardless of whether a "name clearing hearing". is offered to the officer, the Board shall
decide, on a simple majority vote, the level of review to give each Police Chief or City
Manager Report, and the Board may select any or all of the following levels of review:
On the record (no additional investigation)
Interview/meet with citizen complainant
Interview/meet with named officer(s) and other officers
Request additional investigation by police or City Manager, or request police
assistance in Board investigation
Perform own additional investigation by Board members
Hire independent (external) investigator
In reviewing the Chief's or City Manager's Report and in doing any additional investigation,
the Board shall apply an administrative standard of review as contemplated in administrative
law, namely the Board shall apply a "reasonable basis test." This means the Board shall
give deference to the Chief's or City Manager's Report because of the Chief's and City
Manager's respective professional expertise. Otherwise, the Board shall rely on evidence
which reasonably prudent persons are accustomed to rely upon in the conduct of their
serious affairs.
At the conclusion of the Board's review, the Board shall issue a Public Report to the City
Council concerning the complaint investigation. Such Public Report shall include detailed
findings of fact concerning the complaint, together with a clearly articulated conclusion as
Ordinance No.
Page 8
VII.
to whether the complaint is "sustained" and a conclusion of whether the officer's conduct
was not appropriate. Alternatively, in addition to the findings of fact, the Board shall make
a written conclusion that the complaint is "not sustained" and that the officer's conduct was
appropriate. A copy of this Public Report to the City Council shall be given to the citizen
complainant, the police officer, the Police Chief and the City Manager.
· It is the City Council's intent that the Board's Report to the City Council be completed within
thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the Chief's or City Manager's Report.
· Nothing in this Board Review process shall in any way impede or interfere with the Police
Chief's and/or the City Manager's lawful ability to perform their personnel supervisory duties
over sworn police officers, or interfere with the ability to impose discipline as deemed
appropriate by the Chief or City Manager.
· The Board shall have no authority over police disciplinary matters, but instead shall focus
the Board's Report on the appropriateness of the behavior exhibited by the police officers
involved in the complaint. To this end, the Board shall not concern itself with the specifics
of possible disciplinary action, but may include in the Board's report whether or not discipline
is appropriate.
· No findings or Report submitted to the Board or prepared by the Board shall be used in any
other proceedings.
B. General Powers and Dut/es. The Board shall also carry out the following duties:
· Maintain a central registry of complaints, collect data and do an annual report to the City
Council which shall be public and shall set forth the general types and numbers of
complaints, disposition of the complaints, and demographic information. This annual report
shall be in a form which protects the confidentiality of the parties, yet provides the public
with information on the overall performance of the Police Department. The Board's annual
report shall also include recommended changes in police practices, policies or procedures.
o In addition to the annual report, the Board shall, from time to time, report to the City Council
on police practices, procedures and policies, including recommended changes, if
appropriate.
· The Board shall adopt procedural rules and by-laws governing the Board's activities, and
such procedural rules and by-laws shall first be approved by the City Council.
Limited Powers of the Board; Board Composition Generally
A. Limited Powers. The Board shall have the following limited powers:
· On its own motion, the Board may file its own complaint.
· In deciding the level of review concerning the Police Chief or City Manager's Report,
the Board shall decide on a simple majority vote.
Ordinance No.
Page 9
Board
The Board has no power to review police officer personnel records or disciplinary
matters except to the extent such matters are made public by the City Attorney and
City Manager, as provided by Iowa law.
The Board has only limited civil/administrative review powers, and has no power or
authority over criminal matters. The Board is not a cour~ of law, and is not intended
to substitute as a tort claims procedure or as litigation against the City.
Composition
The Board shall consist of five (5) members appointed by the City Council, who shall
be Iowa City residents and serve without compensation. The City Council shall
appoint members who represent the diversity of the community. Appointments to the
Board shall include one peace officer as that term is defined by state law. The City
Council reserves the right to waive the residency requirement for good cause shown.
Upon final adoption and publication of this ordinance, members shall be appointed
to staggered terms, with the terms commencing on August 1, 1997. All appointments
shall be for a four (4) year term, except for the initial appointments which shall be as
follows:
One (1) person appointed for a two (2)-year term
One (1) person appointed for a three (3)-year term
Three (3) persons appointed for a four (4)-year term
Training shall be available to all Board members to enable them to perform the duties
imposed herein, especially training as to Iowa's public records and open meetings
laws.
If criminal charges are brought or are being considered against a particular police
officer(s), the Board's review or investigation may proceed with interviewing other
officers,' witnesses or documents collection, as appropriate. During the PCRB
process, any statements given by an officer who is subject to criminal investigation
cannot later be used against the officer in a criminal proceeding, as provided under
the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, unless such constitutional requirement
is waived - which is a matter of criminal law outside the purview of the PCRB
process.
The Board may obtain outside counsel and independent investigators in order to carry
out the Board's duties, and the City agrees to provide reasonable budgetary
resources for such purposes.
The Board may hold general informational hearings concerning Police Department
practices, procedures or written policies, and such hearings will be public. The Board
shall then report the results of such general informational hearings to the City Council,
as the Board deems appropriate.
Ordinance No.

Information Request from Last Evaluation: Attached Memorandum
Last summer 1996, you asked that I explain why our sampling methods continue, at times, to
exceed the levels which the DNR has placed on our effluent, as part of our wastewater
treatment NPDES permit. I explained at that time I simply did not have the technical expertise
to answer your questions. Thereafter, I passed your questions on to Dave Elias and Dick
Northam, Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent of the Wastewater Treatment plants.
Attached is a memorandum from Dick Northam, which I think is self-explanatory. Indeed, the
memo shows we are trying new sampling techniques in an effort to satisfy the DNR's incredibly
high standards, which are well above the EPA's standards of "measurable levels of mercury"
in wastewater effluent. However, as Dave Elias, Dick Northam and I suggest, you might take
a site trip to the Wastewater Treatment Plant, and have Dick Northam and Dave Elias explain
the mercury problem to you on the site.

DICK NORTHzLM. ASST. SUPT OF \x.'.\STE\X'ATER
COPPER AND MERCURY-- S:O, tPLING AND
APRIL 23. 1907
In accordance with Administrative Order No. 95-xX~"-16, issued by the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources (IDNR), the Iowa City Wastewater Division is conducting a study to identify and
reduce the amount of copper and mercury in the final effluent discharged to the Iowa River.
Although sampling of the City's major interceptors and suspected facilities has been and is being
conducted, there has been limited success in tracing the source of these contaminants due to the
infrequency of a positive detection, particularly for mercu~.
Potential contributors of these heavy metal contaminants may be from industrial, commercial,
and/or domestic sources that discharge to the City's sanitary collection system. The latest Industrial
Waste Survey supports the conclusion that, currently, there are no Significant Industrial Contributors
(SIC's) of copper or mercury within the City's collection system. Therefore the commercial and
domestic contributors, which, for the most part, are uncontrollable sources, may be suspect.
Possibly, the most significant source of copper (Cu) at both North and South Treatment Plants is
from copper plumbing. The water distributed by Iowa City and the University water plants has a
slightly aggressive nature which tends to leach the copper from the plumbing it runs through. The
reason for this is so that the water doesn't deposit dissolved solids in plumbing and plug the pipes.
This, along with any "down the drain" disposal of copper compounds by domestic or commercial
users, accounts for the majority of copper contaminants found in the wastewater.
Mercury (Hg0, on the other hand, is widely dispersed in our environment. It is used in formulating
fungicides and pesticides. It is used in the manufacture of electrical components. The amalgam,
used by dentists for filling cavities, contains mercury compounds. Even Iowa City's major water
source, the Iowa River, has a mercury level higher than the treatment plants discharge limits. In
addition, some teaching facilities at the University of Iowa have demonstrated a history of mercury
contamination in their wastewater.
In order to determine if, indeed, these contaminants are coming from an outside source rather than
being introduced through sample collection, preservation, storage, and/or analysis, duplicate samples
are submitted for testing. One sample is collected under normal conditions and another collected
under a new sampling protocol referred to as "clean technique". Briefly, this involves the use of
dedicated samplers, acid washing all sampling equipment and sample bottles, using ultra pure nitric
acid as a preservative, and storing samples in a clean environment until ready for shipping. These
samples are analyzed by a certified and reputable lab for extremely low detection levels, that is Cu
to 0.01 ppm and I-Ig to 0.00005 ppm. By submitting duplicate samples we hope to insure that
metals contamination is not introduced through the collection, preservation, and/or storage of the
sample.
Because the analysts ts performed at unusually low detection levels, the precision and accuracy of
the results are, at best, questionable. Strict quality. assurance procedures must be 'adhered to in order
to confirm or disprove the sample results. A "trip blank" of distilled xvater is sent in for an'Avsts,
along with the s~n-nples, as a control. Occasionally, the blank v~411 come back with a posiuve
detection, especially for mercury,. This is probably why the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
will only accept a detection level for mercury down to 0.0002 ppm as a reporting limit. This is
outlined in 40 CFR Part 136.
Since the division has implemented the "clean technique" sampling procedure, the results have been
encouraging but are yet inconclusive. Sampling results, to date, appear to indicated that at lea~t part
of the mercury contamination is due sampling conditions and or analysis. The division will continue
to collect and evaluate the data as it comes in. If it is determined that the copper and mercury,
contamination is indeed coming from an outside source the Wastewater division will continue to
isolate, identify,, and monitor those sources.
If you would like more information on the mercury sampling program, feel free to contact Dave
Elias or myself at 356-5178.

Fines for Violation of the Non-Motorized Vehicles Ordinance
As you may recall from our discussion Monday evening, the City currently imposes a fine of
$10 (which totals approximately $28.00 after court costs are added) for using bicycles,
skateboards, or roller blades within the City Plaza. The City will also impose a fine of $10.00
for violations of the non-motorized vehicles ordinance unless the City Council decides
otherwise.
There was some support Monday evening for an escalating fine structure. If the Council
decides to impose an escalating fine structure, I would suggest the following: $10.00 for a first
offense violation; $20.00 for a second offense violation; and $40.00 for a third offense
violation. A $40.00 fine would total approximately $67.00 after courts costs are added.

Re: Yeggys
Dear Dean:
In response to your letter of April 18, 1997, the City Council discussed your request to meet
with them during a work session. Although the City Council does not wish to schedule a
meeting with you and your clients, at least two Council members would be willing to
participate on behalf of the City in mediation. As I stated in prior correspondence, the City
would be willing to participate in mediation provided your clients pay the costs of mediation
and the neighbors also participate. Enclosed is a list of mediators who have registered with
the City.
I have reviewed our files to see if we have any photographs from 1985. Although we do not
have any photographs from 1985, I do have one photograph which was taken during the
summer of 1986 and five photographs which were taken in 1987. Please let me know if you
would like copies of these photographs. I believe some of these photographs were submitted
as exhibits during previous trials.
I have not checked with the Clerk's office recently regarding the court file from the 1987 case.
The file was checked out the last time I inquired. You may want to check with Clerk's office
to see if the file is available.
The City does not have the negatives for the aerial photographs from 1974. I have been unable
to track down the name of the photographer or service that took these photos. However, I did
attempt to have the 1974 photograph blown-up with respect to the area in question. Enclosed
is a copy of that blow-up. This was the most the lab could blow-up the picture without losing

any clarity. The photograph still does not show any junk or salvage material at either 828 or
834 St. Anne's Drive.
I recently received another complaint that junk and salvage materials were again being stored
at 828 St. Anne's Drive. Although I have not yet had a chance to view the property, I wanted
to bring the complaint to your attention.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call.

Upcoming Sewer Revenue Bond Isle of $10,600,000 Dated May 20, 1997
May 20, 1997 is the tentative date to sell $10,600,000 sewer revenue bonds. The previous
estimate was $11.0 million and because of a Community Development Block (CDB) Flood Grant
of $400,000 the amount has been decreased to $10.6 million. The $400,000 CDB Flood Grant is
for part of the Wylde Green Sanitary Sewer.
Staff is working with Evensen Dodge, Inc. the financial advisor for the City, to prepare the Official
Statement for this issue. I expect to discuss the rating for this bond issue with Moody's on or
about May 15, 1997. The current rating on the outstanding Sewer Revenue bonds is 'A'. Although
there are no guarantees, I expect to maintain that 'A' rating on this new bond issue.
The list of projects to be funded from this bond issue is as follows:
Project
1. Wylde Green Sanitary Sewer
2. Sheridan Avenue Sanitary Sewer
3. Scott Boulevard Trunk Sewer
4. Willow Creek Sanitary Sewer

Residential Parking Facility ml pact Fee --Near Southside
In response to the discussion at your May 5 work session, we will proceed with amendments to
the Zoning Ordinance and the Parking Facility Impact Fee ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance
will be revised such that the parking requirements for multi-family residential development in the
CB-5 zone will be the same as parking requirements for apartment development in the RM
zones. The Impact Fee ordinance will be amended such that residential development will be
required to pay a fee in lieu of 75% of the required spaces and 25% of the required spaces will
be provided on-site. Also, no more than 25% of the required spaces will be allowable on-site.
The rate of the parking impact fee will remain the same in the CB-5 and PRM zones.
The Zoning Ordinance amendments will be taken to the Planning & Zoning Commission for
their first meeting in June; as soon as the Commission's recommendation is ready for the City
Council, we will bring the parking requirement changes and the Impact Fee ordinance
amendment to the City Council.

Re:
Friendship/Shamrock Creek Channel Improvements
Following the April 7, 1997, City Council work session discussion and decision
regarding the creek channel improvement project, it is my understanding that the
Engineering Division is to proceed as follows:
3.
4.
5.
Make improvements at the downstream bend using reno mattresses to control the
erosion
Carry these improvements through the bend only (approx. Sta. 0+00 to1+25)
Do not provide any creek channel improvements beyond this point
Remove the tree blocking the Friendship Street storm sewer outlet
Investigate sedimentation trap types and effectiveness at the Peterson Street sewer
outlet
Remove the rock and debris from the existing culvert
Install grass pavers between Shamrock Drive and the culvert to provide a safe and
less damaging path for City crews to clean the grate
Redesign the culvert grate to minimize blockage and design a backhoe attachment
to effectively clean the grate
Complete final design and construct improvements this fall
The above listed improvements will stabilize the erosion occurring at the downstream end
of the creek and improve culvert capacity and reliability, but will not improve channel
capacity.
Please contact me if you perceived a different direction given by the City Council. Thanit
you for your time.

Reference: Parking Meter Time Checks
There are two times when parking meters are checked to determine that correct time is
being given for the coins deposited. One, when they are in the shop for routine preventive
maintenance, and two, when a customer complains. In both cases the meters are
connected to a clock, coins are inserted, the times of the beginning and end of the test are
recorded, and a determination is made of the accuracy of the meter. All meters in the
Iowa City system are set to run long. If a meter does not run longer than the time
purchased the ticket is dismissed.
As a result of the recent parking rate increases all meters in the Iowa City system have
been through the shop during the past seven months. The timing mechanism of each
meter was adjusted and lubricated during this time. The meters in question in the KCRG
report, 10 Blk. East Harrison Street, were manufactured by POM. They are
approximately 18 years old. Due to their design these meters have historically had a
higher rate of malfunctioning. As other meters become available these meters are being
taken out of service. There are currently 28 of them on the street. During the next couple
of months the parking meter maintenance staff anticipates they will have all of these
meters off the street.
On the back of each parking ticket there is a number to call to report faulty meters. If a
report is received the meter is checked by maintenance personnel. If any malfunction is
discovered during the check the ticket is dismissed. In either case there is a written
response to the complaint.

Re: Update on Spring Toxic Waste Cleanup Day
A Toxic Waste Cleanup Day has been scheduled for June 7, 1997. Details are as follows:
The event will be held at the City of Iowa City Public Works/Transit Facility site on South
Riverside Drive, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Approximately 600 appointments will be accepted for the event. Appointments will be
taken the two weeks prior to the event, beginning on May 27 and running through June
6. The phone number will be advertised one to two weeks before the appointment line
is up and running. The appointment system is used to spread out traffic during the
event. We will attempt to accommodate people who show up without an appointment.
No State DNR grant money will be used. Funds generated from the hazardous waste
fee at the landfill will cover the estimated cost of $70,000-$100,000.
Laidlaw Environmental Services of Illinois will be the contractor. They are also the
State's contractor on the State funded cleanup days this year.
At this year's event, 20-25 city maintenance workers will staff the event, with the
assistance of a dozen or so volunteers. The Iowa City Fire Department and the Johnson
County Hazardous Materials Team will be invited to be on hand.

Re: Riverfront and Natural Areas Commission's Arbor Day Celebration
On Saturday, April 26, the Riverfront and Natural Areas Commission (RNAC) sponsored an
Arbor Day Celebration at Ryerson's Woods. As part of the celebration, RNAC honored three
local organizations for their efforts in promoting environmental awareness. The three
organizations honored were Friends of the Iowa River Scenic Trail (FIRST), Heritage Trees,
and Project GREEN. As part of the ceremony, RNAC provided each organization with a
certificate of appreciation. After the trees were planted and the certificates were presented, a
representative from the ISU Extension's Master Gardeners program gave a presentation on the
history of Arbor Day.
After the presentation, 125 trees (50 Redbud, 50 Sugar Maple, and 25 Red Oak) were given
away to people attending the event. This was done to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Arbor
Day. The event received TV coverage. The trees that were not given away were donated to the
Iowa City Forestry Division for additional plantings at Ryerson's Woods (Redbuds) and Willow
Creek Park (Sugar Maple and Red Oak). The City Forester, Terry Robinson, and his staff did a
wonderful job in preparing the park for the tree planting ceremony, and Terry did a great job in
educating everyone on the proper way to plant and care for trees. The Commission hopes to
make this an annual event.

Senior Center Commission Response to Issues
Raised by the Nutrition Committee
2 May 1997
At their Monday, April 28, 1997, meeting, the Senior Center Commission met
and discussed the three Nutrition Committee issues that had been presented for
consideration by the Board of Supervisors at the joint meeting they had with the
City Council. Following lengthy discussion, position statements for each issue
were unanimously adopted. Commission members who were absent from this
meeting include Robert Kemp and Ken Mobily.
The following paragraphs represent the position of the Commission relative to
each of the issues raised by the Nutrition Committee as well as a discussion
summary.
ISSUE 1
The Nutrition Committee asked the City and county to recognize the Nutrition
Program as a basic program of the Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center.
Specific and practical implications resulting from the adoption of this position
would be reviewed by both bodies.
The Commission recognized the Center's position as a community focal point
providing elders with the chance to obtain and enjoy a variety of services and
opportunities from one central location. The Nutrition Program, just like the
other agencies and programs housed in the Senior Center, contributes a great
deal to the overall quality and diversity of services available at the Center. The
Commission concluded:
The Nutrition Program is one of five programs
currently housed at the Senior Center with separate
governing bodies and funding sources.
ISSUE 2
The Nutrition Committee requested that the east side of Linn Street be made
available for use by the Nutrition Program volunteers and that the south side of
Iowa Avenue be available as an extension of the Senior Center parking lot
between 11:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
The Commission acknowledged that convenient parking is a problem for
everyone who uses the Center; volunteers and participants alike. The North Lot
contains a total of onl-y 36 spaces and the Linn Street parking area is reserved for
non-senior, Senior Center volunteers and service providers. To take any action
that would result in a reduction of parking spaces would not be in the best
interest of the Senior Center's volunteers and participants.
It was noted that Nutrition Program volunteers and participants over the age of
55 are eligible to register at the Center and purchase Senior Center parking
permits. This permit would not provide access to North Lot spaces specifically
designated for Senior Center volunteers, but it would offer the person the same
parking privileges as all other registered participants. This would include access
to available spaces in both the North Lot and the Senior Center section of the
Chauncey-Swan Ramp.
The Senior Center currently does not have the resources necessary to monitor
and pay for the North Lot if it were to be expanded to include Iowa Avenue
parking spaces.
A question was raised about the possibility of the Nutrition Program working
out an agreement for volunteer parking spaces with the management of
Ecumenical Towers. At the present time Nutrition Program staff members have
parking privileges in the section of the North Lot managed by Ecumenical
Towers. Perhaps a similar arrangement could be made for the volunteers in the
program.
The Commission concluded:
A lack of parking is a major problem for persons
attending the Senior Center. The Commission is
unwilling to designate specific spaces for other
programs and suggests that such programs consider
other options.
ISSUE 3
The Nutrition Committee asked the City Council to nominate a person to serve
on the Nutrition Committee. They expressed an interest in having a nominee
who was a participant in the nutrition program and a member of either the
Senior Center Commission or Council of Elders.
Following a discussion of the ramifications of such a nominee, the Commission
adopted the following position:
A person serving on either the Commission or
Council of Elders and the Nutrition Committee
would, in our opinion, constitute a conflict of
interest.
In accordance with a telephone conversation I had earlier this month with Sally
Stutsman, the Commission is anticipating that a member of the Board of
Supervisors will attend their Wednesday, May 21,1997 meeting. At that time,
these issues will again be discussed.

IOWA CITY/CORALVlLLE DEER MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
Thursday, May 1, 1997 - 5:30 p.m.
City Manager's Conference Room, Iowa City Civic Center
MEMBERS PRESENT:
Misha Goodman-Herbst, Lisa Handsaker, Nancy Seiberling, Judy
Rhodes, Bud Louis, Pat Farrant, Doug Jones, Steve Hendrix,
Loren Forbes, Dave Froschauer, Scott Larson, Charlie Duffy
MEMBERS ABSENT:
Ron Fort, Kat Moore
DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES ADVISORS: Tim Thompson, Susan Hager, Willie
Suchy, Joe Wilkinson
OTHERS PRESENT:
Chris Ogden
1. Establish Meeting Protocol
Goodman-Herbst proposed she (Goodman-Herbst) act as Committee Facilitator and
Handsaker as Secretary. [Passed with unanimous consensus.]
Goodman-Herbst proposed any member may make a motion that a discussion be ended
and the discussion would close upon consensus. [Passed with unanimous consensus.]
Goodman-Herbst proposed there be a 10-15 minute public input session at the end of each
meeting for non-Committee/Advisor comments relating to any item on that evening's
agenda. [Passed with unanimous consensus.]
Goodman-Herbst proposed one member act as Media Representative to discuss
Committee progress with media. [The Committee will decide this matter at a later date.]
Thompson stressed the importance that members attend meetings consistently--it is time-
consuming to bring absent members up-to-speed at subsequent meetings. It was decided
by consensus that if a member must miss a meeting, the member may send a
representative for the purpose of gathering information; however, the representative will not
be allowed to vote on any issue. Members may also forward comments on agenda items to
Herbst-Goodman prior to the meeting they must miss.
Meetings will be held the first and third Monday of each month unless it is determined by
Committee consensus that the group meet more frequently. Meetings shall be two hours in
length, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The next meeting of the Deer Management Committee
will be Monday, May '19 at 6:30 p.m. in the Craft Room of the Robert A. Lee Recreation
Center (220 S. Gilbert Street). A meeting schedule is included as Attachment A.
2. Review of Helicopter Count
Thompson explained the January 31, 1997, helicopter count process and results. A total of
538 deer were viewed and counted that day. He reminded members the count is only an
estimate of actual number of deer. Thompson pointed out that in the older residential areas
(many in Iowa City), people inhabited the areas before deer. The situation is opposite in the
newer developments (Iowa City and Coralville)--deer existed to people inhabiting. This can
affect how residents perceive the deer situation.
3. Brief Overview of Deer, Their Habits, and Breeding
Suchy explained that deer are adaptive creatures. In Iowa, deer are typically not subject to
natural population controls such as droughts and floods. Because of the long growing
season, there is relatively no starvation in Iowa. An average deer consumes 7 lbs of
vegetation a day. Does breed at 6 months of age. The population doubles every three
years. 90% of fawns are alive a year later; 10% die due to coyotes, dogs, mowers, running
into fences, etc. Car/deer accidents are the main mortality factor. 40% of fawns born in
urban areas disperse to country (majority are young males). Deer live an average of 15-20
years in an urban setting. It is unusual to see a deer over 10 years of age in the wild.
Deer become a nuisance when they exceed 30-40/square mile. At a population of 30-
50/square mile, changes in the environment occur. At 50-100/square mile, very visible
changes occur to the plant community.
Jones questioned whether or not city leash laws have impacted deer population. Goodman-
Herbst indicated probably not, as they have been in effect in Iowa City since the 1940s.
Suchy stated bow hunting was allowed in many Iowa cities until the 1970s at which time
ordinances prohibiting bow hunting within city limits were enacted.
Louis questioned if there is a high incident of injury without death with bow hunting. Sucky
stated no--approximately 5-15% wounding. Farrant indicated that Human Society numbers
are more like 50% wounding.
Thompson stated the Department of Natural Resources views the deer population with
pride. There were low numbers in the 1930s. They do recognize the need to balance the
population and are doing so on a case-by-base basis.
Suchy discussed the carry capacity numbers. He stated there will be differing viewpoints.
The Iowa City/Coralville communities need to decide what the carrying capacity should be
for this area. Jones asked what the deer population was in Iowa during the pre-
development era. Suchy responded 15-20/square mile in the natural eco system.
Goodman-Herbst questioned when you reduce numbers, do you look at males or females?
Sucky responded generally, females are eliminated initially but males also need to be
looked at. This will also be a cultural decision for the community.
Hendrix asked if deer were using urban areas as a refuge. Suchy indicated that is
somewhat the case. If the numbers were to be reduced, an increase would eventually
occur due to breeding, not migrators coming into the area. Hendrix also wondered about
the variety of habitats deer prefer. Suchy stated everything but asphalt.
Duffy noted a situation in Savannah, Georgia where the area was once beautiful. The deer
population was allowed to grow uncontrolled. Now the deer are very sickly looking--half
their normal size. Suchy didn't think the situation would become that drastic in Iowa due to
the long growing season and areas of heavy vegetation.
Seiberling wondered if the idea of providing a high protein/low-fat food for those who need
to be fed had been used before. Jones stated this happens at the O'Hare Airport. The
meat is donated to food banks.
Louis asked what happens to deer that die in our area. Goodman-Herbst responded if they
die naturally and are claimed, a deer tag is issued through the DNR. If they are euthanized,
they are not distributed. Hager stated the Sheriff's Department has a list of individuals who
are notified, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, if a deer has been hit. She said it is very rare
that a deer goes unclaimed in Johnson County.
Duffy stated it cost the county $4,000 to pick-up roadkill over the last year. That number
would be much higher if the deer weren't claimed. Goodman-Herbst said the average
deer/vehicular accident claim is $2,000. She also indicated the deer reflectors are, in a
way, making our urban population problem worse. The numbers of deer killed by vehicles
will decrease, causing greater numbers. Reflectors are a movement controller, not a
solution to the high numbers.
Thompson reiterated the DNR's role is to manage the deer. The deer belong to the people.
Recommendations made by the Committee, however, must adhere to DNR guidelines.
Farrant stated she wanted the group to remain open minded and sensitive to all viewpoints.
Goodman-Herbst added if, at any point, a member or members were to become
uncomfortable with the direction the Committee was taking, they should feel free to admit
that and resign from the group.
Many members felt a field trip to affected areas would be beneficial. It will be arranged for
an upcoming meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.

Residents are encouraged to bring such items as toxic automotive and household products,

pressurized vessels, and containers over 25 gallons.
If there are any questions, call Brad Neumann, JCCOG Solid Waste Management Planner, at
356-5235.
Related Information:
Most of the material we receive at the toxic waste cleanup day is paint. To save yo~Jrself an
unnecessary trip, please review the following methods to safely dispose of paint at your
home:
If paint is still good, find someone that can use the paint. Neighbors, relatives,
2
schools, civic groups, and human service agencies may be willing to use your
leftover paint.
Completely dried and hardened paint and dry, empty paint cans can be put in
the trash.
Smaller quantities of paint can be dried by removing the lid and allowing the
liquid in the can to evaporate. Stir occasionally to hasten evaporation. When
drying out paint, place cans in a well ventilated area (preferably outside) and
keep out of reach of children and pets. Be careful not to inhale fumes. To speed
up this process you may want to add a clay-based absorbent, such as cat litter
or floor (oil) dry, to the paint so that the paint is absorbed. Once dry, the paint
can be placed in the trash.
Larger quantities of paint can be poured in layers (about one-half inch thick) in
a cardboard box lined with plastic or newspaper. Let each paint layer dry,
repeat as necessary and dispose of the box in your trash.
For paint that has separated and cannot b.e mixed, pour off the clear liquids on
top into a cardboard box lined with plastic, and mix with an equal mount of
absorbent material such as cat litter or floor dry. The box can then be disposed
of in your trash. The semi-solid paint sludge that remains in the can can be
dried by leaving the lid off. Once dry it too can be disposed of in your trash.
When disposing paint cans, leave the lids off so disposal workers will know the paint has been
dried out.

MEMORANDUM
Date: May 7, 1997
To: City Council and City Manager
From: Donald J. Yucuis, Finance Director
Re: Budget Amendments for Fiscal Year 1997 Ending June 30, 1997
A public hearing is set for the regular City Council meeting on May 20, 1997, at 7:00 p.m., for the
purpose of amending the FY97 budget. You are receiving this document now because it will be
on public display and available to the public on May 9, 1997. The public hearing notice to be
published in the newspaper includes the FY97 total budget as certified, the current amendments
and the total budget after current amendment. City Council approval, by resolution, of the
amendments will be requested at the May 20, 1997, meeting, following the public hearing.
Departments submit budget amendments throughout the year to the Finance Department for
review and approval or denial by the Finance Director and the City Manager. Once a year, in
May, all the budget amendments are submitted to the City Council for their review and approval.
Budget amendments must be amended (per state law) by May 31 each year in order to provide
the proper time for budget appeals,' a protest hearing and a final decision rendered, prior to June
30.
Attached you will find exhibits providing information on the FY97 budget amendments. Page 1
is the Budget Amendment and Certification Resolution in the format required by the state.
Pages 3-16 show the original budget, amendments for all carryovers, budget authorization from
FY97, regular amendments, salary revisions, contingency use, and the revised total for receipts
and expenditures by department within fund. Carryovers are items that were budgeted to be spent
in FY96 but were not purchased and paid for until FY97. Funding for carryovers come directly
from fund balance.
Departments within the General Fund may request funding for amendments from contingency.
The original contingency budget for FY97 was set at $290,000 and was increased to $370,064.
All of the contingency was used to cover amended funding needs. The detail of contingency used
is shown, starting on page 167.
The individual detailed amendments are listed by category on the public hearing notice, and then
by department within the categories, starting on page 17.
Page 2 is the notice of public hearing.

Re: Johnson County Fairgrounds
Recently it has come to my attention that the Johnson County Fairgrounds Board is beginning
discussions with Bob Wolf for sewer service to the fairgrounds by way of the package plant
serving Lake Ridge manufactured housing park. It is my understanding that a line would be run
from the fairgrounds to the manufactured housing park package plant and this line would serve
the new Iowa City Community Theater building as well as the fairgrounds. I believe it is in the best
interest of Iowa City to encourage the fairgrounds and theater to be served by municipal sewer
rather than by a privately owned package plant.
In a memo to you dated May 15, 1996, I expressed my concern with the Wolf development and
the implications it had for the future growth of Iowa City to the south. This residential development
will be at an urban density and yet will lie just outside our corporate boundaries and be served by
a private sewage treatment facility and wells. We have had discussions with Mr. Wolf regarding
annexation; however, he is not interested at this time. I do not believe it is appropriate for multiple
users to be serviced by a private sewage system, particularly within Iowa City's growth area.
I would like to pursue the potential annexation of the fairgrounds and the City-owned Ryerson's
Woods in order to provide sanitary service to the fairgrounds. Physically, this would be provided
by a force main extended along Highway 921 to a lift station which currently serves an area east
of Highway 921. Since the fairgrounds and the theater have minimal flows, Public Works has
assured me that there is sufficient capacity within the lift station to handle these flows. With your
concurrence, I will have staff pursue the necessary steps to accomplish annexation of these areas
and service by the municipal system by developing a proposal for consideration by the Johnson
County Board of Supervisors and the Fair Board.

Re: Subdivision Inventory Update
Attached is the updated Iowa City subdivision inventory. This inventory shows the total amount
of approved lots and building permits issued per subdivision. This summary includes only
single-family and duplex lots, and does not include subdivisions approved prior to 1990 which
may still have empty lots. This inventory can be used to look at past trends in the number of
lots, acres, and building permits issued per year. We have a lot in the Department of Planning
which shows vacant platted lots. Staff is also keeping a map, found in the intern's room, of the
location of vacant, platted lots.
1996 saw a five-year low in the number of lots and acres subdivided, as well as in the number
of building permits issued. 1993 stands out as an anomaly in the past six year trend, with 508
lots subdivided. The average number of lots subdivided over the past six years is 216 per year,
and the average number of building permits issued is 205 per year. There are currently 635
undeveloped, platted lots within City limits.
John Yapp, an associate planner, prepared this summary report.

TEAM Committee event
DATE: March 12, 1997
The TEAM Committee has formed a subcommittee to look into summer muscial
events.
I have contacted the New Horizons Band (Senior Center Band) and asked them
if they would be willing to play during the noon hoor at the Blackhawk Mini Park.
Don Koffman, who is the coordinator for this band, and I have tentatively
scheduled to have them play on Tuesday, June 17th during the lunch hour.
Don was going to try and arrange to have two or three of the smaller groups play
during this time. Their band consists of 50 people & he didn't think it would be
possible to have all of them together.
The only thing we will need to supply is chairs for the band members.
Please let me know if this is acceptable and then I will finalize plans. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Edwards:
I understand you have spoken with our .City Engineer Rick Fosse concerning the construction of
a sidewalk along the unimproved portion of Sycamore Street, near your home. Rick explains to
me that he has discussed this matter with you and has found we should be able to construct a
temporaw sidewalk at this location without extensive grading, storm sewer construction, and/or
right-of-way acquisition. It is estimated that this temporaw walk would cost about $8,000.
I advised Rick to proceed with the project. If you have any questions or need any other
information about the project as proposed please feel free to contact Rick.
Sincerely,

DEAR STEVE,
THANK YOU FOR AT LEAST PARTIALLY RESPONDING TO MY QUESTIONS. AT THIS
POINT IN TIME I WILL SIMPLY SAY IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE CITY DOES NOT TREAT
ALL PROPERTY OWNERS THE SAME. THIS IS BASED ON PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND
IN TALKING TO CLIENTS. I DON'T THINK I DISAGREE SO MUCH WITH THE POLICIES
AND PROCEDURES OF THE CITY BUT ! DONOr BELIEVE THEY ARE ENFORCED
UNIFORMLY, FURTHERMORE, I DON'T REALLY KNOW ANY OF THE CITY EMPLOYEES
THAT INSPECT BUILDINGS SO I CAN'T SAY I DISLIKE ANY ONE OF THEM, I ONLY GET
RESULTS OF INSPECTIONS AND LISTEN TO MY CLIENTS CONCERNS. IN PARTICULAR,
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER WITH DOUG, UNLESS THERE ARE SOME BEHIND
THE SCENE DECISIONS BEING MADE BY HIM, WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE TO BE THE
CASE.
YOU ARE CORRECT THERE WAS AN UNDERLYING ACCUSATORY TONE TO MY
LETTER. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN THE UNIFORMITY OF
ENFORCEMENT. THERE WILL NEVER BE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN IOWA CITY IF THE
WAY THINGS ARE GOING WITH PROCEDURE AND POLICIES CONTINUE. SAFETY
SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED.
I WAS ADVISED NOT TO GET INTO SPECIFICS IN MY FIRST LETTER ON THE
OUT~ilDE CHANCE THE CITY MIGHT MAKE A SERIOUS INDEPENDENT EVALUATION OF
~ ~ G I F ~ ........
DEPARTMENT. I WAS ALSO ADVISED NOT TO TALK ABOUT ANY CLIENT SPECIFICS
WITHOUT OBTAINING RELEASES FROM THE CLIENT. MOST ARE AFRAID OF
RETALIATION.

I WOULD URGE YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS FURTHER. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF
OPENING MY OWN LAW FIRM AND ONCE I GET SETTLED I WILL REVISIT THIS, THIS
MY HOMETOWN AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I AM PROUD OF IT AGAIN. MAYBE MY
CONCERN IS ONLY BECAUSE I OWN SOME REAL ESTATE AND DON'T LIKE THE
INSPECTIONS BUT I BELIEVE THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN THAT,
FINALLY, THE POINT ON MY HOUSE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH JURISDICTION.
THE POINT IS THAT OUR HOUSE IS IN FINE CONDITION AND YET IT IS MY OPINION
THAT THE IC INSPECTORS WOULD FIND SO~NG THAT SHOULD BE WRITTEN UP.

NOTICE OF TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF REGULATIONS ENFORCING
BULKY WASTE REMOVAL IN IOWA CITY.
From May 15, 1997 through May 19, 1997, the City of Iowa City will not be initiating
enforcement action to remove bulky refuse (including appliances). This grace period will be
granted to landlords during the time when tenants are mostly likely to leave bulky refuse, such
as discarded furniture, along the curb fn front of the property.
Bulky refuse which is properly contained and is not creating a nuisance/litter problem can be
left curbside for private collection during the grace period indicated.
Please note: Bulky refuse which is presenting a nuisance/litter problem will be addressed
as follows:
1. Upon receipt of a complaint or inspector observation, a telephoned warning from Housing
Inspection will be made. A short period of time (4 hours maximum) will be given for
correction.
2. Failure to correct the problem within the specified time period may result in the City hauling
the bulky refuse away and billing the collection fee to the property owner.
BEGINNING MAY 20 (end of grace period):
Remaining refuse will be collected by the City without further notice. As provided by the Solid
Waste Ordinance, prior arranged collection will be at normal rates. Otherwise, the refuse will
be hauled away with a minimum charge of $100.00 per property plus landfill fees.
This shall constitute notice under Section 6-5-1 of the Nuisance Ordinance. Call City of Iowa
City Housing Inspection Division at 356-5133 for further information.

May 7, 1997
To community leaders and other concerned citizens:
Iowa Civil Liberties Union Foundation
AN AFFILIATE OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION
446 Insurance Exchange Bldg.
Des Moines, IA 50309
A few months ago a broad-based group of concerned citizens initiated a grassroots
movement to consider the benefits of creating a Citizen Police Review Board to
ex~mlne such complaints of police misconduct as may arise in the future. As you
are no doubt aware, there have been incidents of police misconduct in Des Moines
in the past, a phenomenon that Des Moines shares with all American cities. The
need for citizen protection against such misconduct here is as great as it is
elsewhere. Yet though every year more and more American cities adopt Citizen
Police Review Boards (most major American cities already have them), Des
Moines still lacks this vital and eminently democratic safeguard.
As part of an effort toward getting this issue in perspective, arrangements have
been made for Des Moines citizens and othe_rs to learn about the experiences of
other communities that have Civilian Review Boards. On Thursday, May 15,
1997, at 7:00 p.m. in the Drake Legal Clinic, 2400 University Avenue, two
distinguished speakers will ~lk about police review boards: Patricia Hughes,
Director of the Minnesota Civilian Police Review Authority, and Samuel Walker,
Professor of Criminology at the University of Nebraska-Omaha and author of the
ACLU's "Fighting Police Abuse: A Community Action Manual."
This event, which is free and open to the pubic, has been arranged under the
sponsorship in part of the Iowa Civil Liberties Union Foundation and the National
Conference of Christians and Jews.
You are invited to join other concerned citizens to learn more about what we can
do as a community to improve our criminal justice system.
For more information, please call Iowa Civil Liberties Union Executive Director
Ben Stone at 515/243-3576.

Re: Financial Analysis/Projections
With completion of our recent long-term financial projections, many questions have arisen.
Many of which, if not most, have been, in my judgment, over stated and unduly negative. These
questions/concerns lay out a crisis of such proportion that would give one pause to think, how
can we ever address such an issue. In some respects the crisis could come true. After years of
tinkering and fiddling with the state property tax system as it pertains to municipal governments,
cities have now come to a point where the cumulative effects are staggering to consider. There
is a sense of being lost not only in what direction to move, but also a feeling we can do little
about it.
Without a doubt the State of Iowa has significant control over municipal governments with
respect to their ability to raise moneys for the purpose of providing local government services.
The State also mandates numerous public services and, through such controls, influences what
you do every day as a City Council. Our difficulties I believe are clear to the city councils of
Iowa, but only those intimately involved in local governance are fully aware of the many
regulations imposed by the State.
Iowa City has enjoyed moderate yet solid growth in our tax base. Our historic position with
respect to budget planning is just as sound as represented by our community's excellent credit
rating. We have been recognized for our financial reporting, our budget plan, and other financial
initiatives. Our tax rates and debt financing I believe have been well planned and represent a
responsible fiscal policy by this Council as well as preceding City councils. Be that as it may a
problem does exist and, left unattended, our financial condition can worsen over the next six to
eight years.
There are many circumstances that dictate the necessity of dealing with our financial issues
early rather then late. One of the most important is we simply do not know what the State might
choose to do next, if State legislative history is any indicator. We have achieved what is most
important for now, that being we are aware of the issues at hand.
As indicated, our financial concerns are substantially a consequence of State action. The elimi-
nation of the machinery and equipment tax was approximately 4% of our property tax base. The
planned reimbursement of a portion of the lost revenue has a limited life. The state
reimbursement is gone in FY2002, and the tax base is gone in FY2004.
At the time of the machinery and equipment exemption, it appeared that the State's thinking
was that cities in Iowa will experience sufficient growth in future commercial and industrial
development to offset the loss of tax base and revenue. This is speculation at best, and the
comprehensiveness of such a sweeping statement of policy should be a cause for concern. The
most troublesome issue, I believe, is the State has again expanded its ability to direct how cities
should grow and develop.
2
Our tax base and the accumulative effect of all other exemptions such as rollback, property tax
credits and exemptions, limitations on other revenues and no growth in State aid, has had a
compounding effect. Our decision many years ago to utilize available cash to finance police and
fire pensions in the short-term (10 years) as projected also can become a problem in the future.
Additionally, not knowing how the State will choose to change pensions, in that they now
completely control public pensions, is also an unknown. As an aside, many cities in Iowa were
required to levy additional taxes to finance police and fire pensions following the takeover by
the State. We were able to utilize the strength of our financial position to the benefit of the local
taxpayer, that being we had in place a fully-funded pension plan at the time of State takeover.
Local considerations will certainly require your attention, that is what level of debt can we
absorb and continue to maintain our excellent credit rating. What is the effect of that level of
debt on the local property taxpayer. A financially weakened City government is in no one's
interest in that we can not afford anything of quality or quantity without an adequate financial
base.
There are many ways we can address our financial concerns. I would encourage the Council to
be thoughtful, deliberate and, of course, cautious in making changes. The opportunities appear
to be rather straight forward, that is we can 1) create a new source of income such as a sales
tax; 2) selectively reduce services and thereby expenses; 3) look for expanded growth in our tax
base beyond what we have traditionally experienced, such as a more aggressive growth and
development policy; and 4) some combination. Though simple sounding, the balancing of this
major policy will be complex.
When you view our current financial projections, all of these issues come together at approxi-
mately the same time in our future,' that being in the fiscal years of 02, 03 and 04. Our current
three-year budget (98-99-00) is sound, provides adequate cash, and our expenses have been
projected in the three-year plan in accordance with our interests and needs. The effects of
inflation are anticipated, and collective bargaining agreements are in place. There is little room
for new initiatives.
We will begin preparing options for analysis to address the possible changes. All Iowa cities
need to be financially vigilant, and we must continue to press the State legislature for a
comprehensive tax reform policy. In my conversations with our area State legislative delegation,
I do not see such an initiative in the near future but we must continue to make that request.
At your earliest convenience, I believe we need to set aside time for discussion so that we can
be provided with your direction on this issue. I recognize the upcoming June 3 meeting will be
an attempt to address this issue, but it will be difficult to establish a policy in a short time frame.
The possibility of some community-based interest groups coming together to offer their com-
ments for your consideration is also something we may wish to keep in mind. We have time,
and we will need patience and an informed citizenry to help us through this issue.

City of Haywarden v. U.S. West Communications, Inc. - Ruling That Franchise Fee
Is a "Tax"-Amicus Brief (Friend of the Court Brief)
The city of Haywarden is involved in litigation with U.S. West Communications, Inc. Part of that
litigation involves an ordinance enacted by Haywarden in February of 1996 which requires a
company providing telephone services within Haywarden to obtain a franchise from the city and
pay an annual franchise fee or user fee of three percent of the service provider's gross revenues
generated within the City. Part of this fee represents rent for use of the public right-of-way. U.S.
West provides telephone service within Haywarden and is unwilling to pay the user fee.
Haywarden sued U.S. West alleging that it is in violation of the ordinance.
On February 20, 1997 Judge James Scott in Sioux County ruled that a city has no right under
Iowa law to charge a utility a fee for the use of city streets. Judge Scott held that franchise and
user fees are "taxes" which a municipality is prohibited by the Iowa Constitution from imposing
unless otherwise authorized by the.legislature and that the fee imposed by Haywarden has not
been authorized by the legislation.'Haywarden argues that franchise and user fees are a form of
compensation for use of the right-of-way, i.e. rent, not a "tax" and that both state and federal law
allow such fees. Haywarden has appealed this ruling to the Iowa Supreme Court.
Judge Scott's ruling endangers almost all franchise fees in the state of Iowa. It is contrary to the
federal law (1996 Telecommunications Act), which allows cities to charge telecommunications
providers for the use of the public rights-of-way on a competitively neutral and non-discriminatory
basis. It is contrary to federal law which allows cable companies to be charged up to five percent
of revenue as a franchise fee. It is also inconsistent with charges presently being leveled against
gas and electric companies by many cities in Iowa. If Judge Scott's decision is affirmed by the
Iowa Supreme Court, one can expect a number of utilities in Iowa to ask that their franchise fees
be set aside as unlawful "taxes."
Ivan Weber represents Haywarden. He has asked Iowa City, along with a number of other cities,
to file an "amicus brief" with the Supreme Court. An "amicus brief" is a brief by one who is not
a party to the litigation but has an interest in the outcome of the litigation. Iowa City clearly has
an interest in the outcome of this litigation. Municipalities must retain the right to impose a
franchise fee or license fee on private entities that use the public rights-of-way. Indeed, the Iowa
Constitution prohibits a municipality from gifting away real estate. City staff are currently in the
process of developing, for your consideration, a comprehensive telecommunications ordinance
that will provide for control and management of the rights-of-way by the City and compensation
to the City for use of the rights-of-way.
City of Haywarden v. U.S. West
May 14, 1997
Page 2
I will file an amicus brief on behalf of the City of Iowa City in the Haywarden litigation. The issues
involved in disputes between municipalities and telecommunications providers over the
municipality's right to control and receive compensation for use of the right-of-way, are complex.
It is not the intent of this memo to review all those issues. I anticipate doing a more comprehen-
sive review of the issues involved when we present the telecommunications ordinance to you for
consideration. The purpose of this memo is simply to alert you to the filing of the amicus brief.

Re;
Regulation of Non-Motorized Vehicles on City Streets
City staff met at your direction on May 15, 1997 to further discuss regulating the operation
of non-motorized vehicles on City streets. Staff members at the meeting were: Terry
Trueblood, Parks & Recreation Direction; Captain Patrick Harney, Police; Joe Fowler, Parking
& Transit Director; Bill Dollman, Parking Manager; John Yapp, Urban & Asst. Transportation
Planner; Linda Newman Woito, City Attorney; and Dennis Mitchell, Asst. City Attorney.
The proposed non-motorized vehicles ordinance limits the operation of non-motorized vehicles
on City streets to RS-5 (low density residential) and RS-8 (medium density residential) zones.
Staff recommended this limitation due to concerns about mixing non-motorized vehicles with
traffic on busy streets. One problem with this limitation, however, is that it may be difficult
for the public to determine where RS-5 and RS-8 zones are located without extensive signage.
In addition, this limitation would make it difficult for persons to use non-motorized vehicles
as transportation to the downtown area or the University.
After much discussion, Staff hereby recommends that the proposed non-motorized vehicles
ordinance be amended as follows:
1. Prohibit any person from travelling upon or operating a non-motorized vehicle
on any arterial street or upon any street within the central downtown business district.
Define the central downtown business district as the area bounded by and including
Capitol Street to the north, Burlington Street to the south, Van Buren Street to the
east, and Jefferson Street to the north. (Note: I will be working with the JCCOG
Transportation Planning Department for a clear and understandable definition of
"arterial street". I will supply this definition to you at the work session on Monday,
May 19, 1997.)
2. Require any person who travels upon or operates a non-motorized vehicle on
any road, street, or alley to. stay as far to the right of the road, street, or alley as
· possible; to operate such non-motorized vehicle in a safe and prudent manner; and to
obey all traffic law which are applicable to drivers of motor vehicles.
3. Require any person who travels upon or operates a non-motorized vehicle on
any road, street, or alley after dusk to wear a reflective device or reflective clothing.
4. The City Council should also consider requiring any person who operates a non-
motorized vehicle on any road, street, or alley to wear appropriate protective gear,
such a helmet.
The above amendments would allow persons to use non-motorized vehicles as transportation
to the central downtown business district and the University while keeping non-motorized
vehicles off busy streets. In addition, it should be easier for the public to determine the
streets on which non-motorized vehicles are prohibited. Staff would also put together an
information brochure which would include a map highlighting arterial streets and streets within
the central downtown business district.
In summary, the non-motorized vehicles ordinance with the above amendments would regulate
non-motorized vehicles as follows:
1. Prohibit non-motorized vehicles on arterial streets and streets within the central
downtown business district;
2. Prohibit non-motorized vehicles on sidewalks within the central downtown
business district; and
3. Prohibit non-motorized vehicles in public parking ramps and parking lots except
where posted as a permitted activity.
I have also attached an updated summary grid which includes the above recommendations as
well as a current JCCOG arterial map.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call. I will be available at the
work session on Monday, May 19, 1997 to answer any questions.

Re'. ZCIP Interpretation of Rooming House Parking Requirements
Attached is a copy of a written opinion of the Zoning Code Interpretation Panel (ZCIP)
regarding the calculation of parking requirements for rooming houses. This is the interpretation
which is pertinent to the conversion of 716 North Dubuque Street from a fraternity house to a
rooming house. The interpretation is being forwarded to the City Council for your information.
We have placed on the Planning & Zoning Commission's work program a pending item which
consists of reviewing the parking requirements for fraternities and sororities. When we consider
this amendment we will also look at amending the ordinance to clearly state the manner for in
which parking for rooming houses should be calculated.

Re: Parking Requirements for Rooming Houses
Question: When existing buildings are converted to rooming houses, should the parking be
calculated based on the total square footage of the existing structure, or on the square footage
used to calculate occupancy?
The pertinent sections of the Zoning Ordinance are those providing for rooming houses and
Section 14-6N-1.J.1.g, Off-Street Parking Requirements. Rooming houses are allowed as
provisional uses based on 330 square feet of rooming house for a given square footage of lot
area, according to the zone. The occupancy of a rooming house is calculated based on one
person per 100 square feet of rooming house use.
When existing structures are converted to rooming houses, the total square footage of the
structure may exceed the allowable square footage of rooming house use. Interpretations of the
Zoning Ordinance dating from 1983 address these disparities in square footage. The
interpretations conclude that the occupancy of a rooming house in a converted structure should
be based on the square footage of rooming house use derived from the lot area formula. The total
square footage of the structure may be lived in; however, the occupancy is restricted to the
calculated square footage, thereby maintaining the density limitations of the zone (see
interpretations dated January 5, 1983 and May 9, 1983).
The Off-Street Parking Requirements for rooming houses are calculated based on the ratio of one
space per 200 square feet of floor area. Floor area is defined as "the total area of all floors of a
building..." In the case of a conversion where the existing structure's floor area is greater than that
used for the rooming house occupancy calculation (330 square feet per X square feet of lot area),
parking based on the structure's actual floor area results in an excessive parking requirement
since the occupancy of the rooming house is restricted by the calculated square footage based on
the size of the lot.
The Panel, therefore, concluded that parking for rooming houses should be based on the square
footage calculated based on lot area. The Panel felt this method was consistent with earlier
interpretations regarding the treatment of rooming houses resulting from conversions and
reasonably correlated parking requirements with the parking demand generated by the occupants
of a structure. A letter dated May 13, 1997 from the Senior Building Official explains this
interpretation based on a specific case and is attached to provide clarity to this interpretation.

Zoning Code Interpretation Panel Section 8.10.24.B
Mike, I am requesting an interpretation from the Zoning Code
Interpretation Panel to Section 8.10.24oB of the Code of Ordinances.
Subsection B reads as follows:
(For every 330 square feet of total floor area in a rooming
house, the equivalent minimum amount of lot area required for a
multi-family dwelling unit in the zone in which the rooming
house is located shall be provided.)
As you are aware it is Building Inspection's current interpretation
to mandate that a total building area cannot exceed 330 square feet
per equivalent amount of density for a multi-family dwelling in
whatever zone may be permitted. Because of the words 'total floor
area' in this section of code I am asking for the panel to interpet
if that regulates the maximum size of the'structure or if in fact a
structure could be larger. For example, if you had a 5,000 square
foot lot in an R3A zonewould it in fact be possible to have larger
than a 1650 square foot building as long as the building was licensed
in the minimum housing standards as only 1650 feet. By this I mean
1650 feet would be the basis on which we regulated the parking,
trees, or whatever sections of code may be applicable where in fact
your equation for square foot per occupant maybe allowed to convert
to a number of occupants and regulated by the rental permit and in
fact occupy larger than a 1650 square foot area.
I realize this concept seems confusing, however, I am not certain
that it is in fact prohibited or unenforceable. If an explanation
would be requested I would be more than happy to appear before the
panel to defend or clarify my intent.
If you should need any assistance developing this concept, please do
not hesitate to contact me.

Re:
Interpretation of Section 8.10.24B
The Senior Building Inspector has requested an interpretation of the
Zoning Code Interpretation Panel concerning the above section and whether
,~'~%'in this section of the Code refers to the maximum area
of the structure or the maximumarea of the use (see memorandum attached).
The subject section states that "for every 330 square feet of total floor
area in a rooming house, the equivalent minimum amount of lot area
required for amulti-familydwelling unit in the.zone in which the rooming
house is located shall be provided." A literal interpretation of this
section would suggest that for every 330 square feet of total 'f)oor area
in an existing residence, the required amount of lot area must be
provided. Stated differently, if the amount of lot area is limited, then
for a residence larger than the maximum amount of floor area permitted per
the lot area, not all of the residence's total floor area could be
occupied.
The Panel felt that it Would be nbt only illogical and impractical but
unenforceable to regulate the maximum amount of floor area of a residence
that could be devoted to a rooming house. For this reason the Panel
rendered the interpretation that all of the floor area of an existing
residence could be devoted to use as a rooming house; however, the number
Of persons per the total floor'area permittedwithin the residence must be
regulated on the basis of the 330-square foot provision of the above
section. For new construction; the total floor area of a new residence
'must not exceed that area permitted by application of the 330 square foot
provision.

Re: Zoning Code Interpretation
Clarification Section 8.10.24.B
528East College
Mr. Kucharzak,
As you are a~are,; we are planning to ~se 528 East College as a
rooming house, which unde~ the ~ present i~-3 zoning is a permitted
use. According to the previous correspondence, we are allowed to
use six hundred seventy-seven square feet of the existing house
on which to base our occupancy load. On April 15 1983, we dis-
cussed a plan which we had submitted, to determine the maximum
number of persons allowable as being six-been.At that point .it
was of your opinion that the rooms used to determine our occu-
pancy would then be the. only rooms that could be used as sleeping
rooms° This interpretation seems contrary to the intent of the
code, to restrict the density and protect the renters from Over-
crowding. Under the present opinion we could and would have five
to six people sleeping in rooms that we had hoped to house one.
If under the previous clarification the Bo~.rd.stated" that all
of the floor area of an existing residence ~could be devoted to
use as a rooming house", with the total number'regulated by code.
Please give this matter some logical consideration. Thank You.

Re:
Interpretation of Sec. 8.10.24B ~,-~:.-:,~q~=r,~f~o~va~R~q~lttt~,~
The Zoning Code Interpretation Panel met to review a request of Mr.
David A. Smith {see letter attached) requesting an interpretation as
to whether occupants of an existing ro~ming house must sleep within
the area of a-rooming house determined for the above requirement or
whether the occupants thereof could locate anywhere within the
dwelling.
In a report filed January 5, 1983, this ~anel ruled that "All of the
floor area of an existing residence could be devoted to use as a
rooming house." However, the number of persons per the total floor
area permitted within the residence must be regulated on the basis of
the 330 square foot provision of the above section. Since the number
of residents of a rooming house are determined on the basis of the
minimum square footage provided within sleeping rooms for the
occupants, the question was raised as to whether the sleeping areas
must then be confined to the area for which the maximum amount of
rooming house area was determined.
On the basis of the previous interpretation, however, and the general
intent of the ordinance, the Panel unanimously agreed and issues the
interpretation that the residents could reside and sleep anywhere
within the dwelling and not necessarily within the area determined
for the maximum size of the rooming house.

Re: 716 N. Dubuque Street
Dear Ms. Kopatich,
This letter is intended to clarify the nonconforming status of the required off-
street parking as it pertains to the conversion of the existing structure at the
above address from a Fraternity house to a rooming house. Due to the
somewhat confusing method for determining the occupant level for an existing
building which is being converted to a rooming house, there was some confusion
among staff as to the proper way to address the question of off-street parking for
this conversion. The Zoning Code Interpretation Panel (ZCIP) was convened on
May 6, 1997 to review a previous interpretation and clarify the method for which
the required number of parking spaces should be determined.
A ZCIP interpretation from 1983 stipulated that the total number of roomers in a
rooming house would be determined by the size of rooming house which could
be constructed on the lot not withstanding the size of the existing structure. In
this instance, the size of the lot at 716 N Dubuque is approximately 6500 square
feet and the zoning ordinance would allow a rooming house of 330 square feet
for each 1,000 square feet of lot area in the RM-44 zone in which it is located.
Therefore you would be allowed a 2145 square foot rooming house at this site.
Under the 1983 ZCIP decision, we will allow the entire 7200 square feet of the
existing structure to be occupied as a rooming house but limit the number of
occupants to the number which would be permitted in a 2145 square foot
rooming house. The density of roomers permitted in this zone is one per one
hundred square feet of building area resulting in 21 roomers for this structure.
The 1983 ZCIP decision did not specifically address off-street parking and the
number of required parking spaces for your proposed conversion was calculated
from the actual area of the existing building. The present ZCIP determined that
this was inconsistent with the previous interpretation and that the required
parking should be determined using the same permitted building area as is used
for determining the number of occupants. In this instance, since the lot would
allow a rooming house of only 2145 square feet, and the zoning ordinance
requires one off-street parking space per each 200 square feet of rooming
house, you are required to provide 11 off-street parking spaces for this
conversion. Since the previous nonconforming use at this site required 24 off-
street parking spaces and the proposed use requires only 11, the conversion of
this structure to a rooming house will be permitted. Please be advised that after
one year, the number of parking spaces credited to this parcel will be reduced to
11 and any future conversion to a use which requires more than 11 off-street
parking spaces will not be permitted.
In summary, the conversion of the structure at 716 N Dubuque from a Fraternity
house to a rooming house will be permitted under the following conditions; 1)
the number of roomers shall not exceed 21, and 2) as many additional off-street
parking spaces as the lot will accommodate shall be provided up to the required
number of 11.
I hope this clarifies the ¢ity's position regarding the future occupancy and parking
requirements for this building. Of course all pertinent permits must be secured
before any work begins and a new certificate of occupancy issued prior to
occupying the building as a rooming house. If you have any further questions
please call me at 356-5122. .~

Proposed Ambassadors Project for City of Iowa City
Per our conversation last week, we have moved ahead with the proposed Ambassadors project. To recap what
progress has been made thus far, TEAM wants to gather a group of City employees to attend local business functions
in a show of support and good will toward the Iowa City community. We also hope that this project will foster
increasingly open communication and personalize City employees to the community. The Chamber of Commerce is
enthusiastic about this project and will allow us to work with their Ambassadors group. Jane Murphy at the Chamber
will provide Kathy Zuckweiler with the Ambassadors calendar of events. Kathy will be responsible for coordinating
City attendance at the various functions. City employees who attend Ambassadors functions will be asked to wear a
blue blazer and City name tag and carry their business cards. Our goal is to have this project in place for the June
1997 Ambassadors events.
In order to get this project started, TEAM would like to ask you to work with the department heads to compose a list
of employees who would be interested and available to attend Ambassador functions. If a list could be supplied to
Kathy Zuckweiler the week of May 27 (after the Memorial Day holiday), Kathy will schedule City employees to
attend the June Ambassadors events.
Thank you for your support and assistance with this project. We hope to create several positive contacts with Iowa
City residents through this endeavor.

There has been consistent attendance at neighborhood meetings by the

about general neighborhood concerns appears to be very valuable to the neighbors
as well as the police officers. It is also apparent that follow-up to some of the

Re: Historic Tree Program
Brad Neumann recommended the following project for action by the TEAM Committee and it
received unanimous support. It is being presented to you for your approval before further
action is taken. Brad and Barb are on a TEAM subcommittee which has been assigned to
implement this idea.
Project: Historical Tree Planting
There is an organization in Florida, American Forests, which collects seeds from trees which
have witnessed important events in American history. They grow saplings from these seeds
and then sell them to individuals, schools, and community service groups.
For example, they offer trees which are descendents of trees which witnessed the Battle of
Gettysburg, or were on the grounds of Mr. Vernon, Thoreau's Walden Pond, and the birthplace
of Abe Lincoln, just to name a few. The trees cost $35 each.
TEAM is proposing that the City buy a small collection of various historical trees, and let them
grow under the supervision of Terry Robinson until they are of suitable planting size, probably
several years from now. These trees would then be available as gifts from the City at
significant events in the future, such as opening of schools, parks, and other public facilities.
This could be a very good community relations tool and would be an opportunity for City
officials to participate in tree planting ceremonies. It also presents schools an opportunity to
acquaint students with historical events, prompted by the gift of the tree related to that event.
Terry Robinson has been approached about this idea and readily agreed to cooperate with the
care of the trees up to the time of transplanting.
We are proposing an estimated initial outlay of $350 for this project. We would prefer that the
funds not come directly from the Forestry budget, but rather funded as a TEAM expenditure. If
you wish, we would be glad to discuss this project and its funding with you in person at any
time. If approved, we would like to order the trees soon so they can get one growing season in
this year.
Thanks for your consideration.

Downtown Strategy and Action Plan
With the completion of the recommendations by the Downtown Strategy Committee, the staff set
about the task of identifying a work program to build around those strategies. Attached is a copy

INTRODUCTION
This survey of Johnson County senior citizens was undertaken at the request of the staff and
Council of Elders of the Iowa City / Johnson County Senior Center. The survey is part of the
Senior Center's strategic planning process, and was designed to assist in improving the
overall quality of the Center's operations and in focusing services for the next ten year period.
Specifically, the Senior Center was interested in a survey which would:
· Provide senior citizens throughout Johnson County an opportunity to voice their opinions
about the current and future direction of the center;
· Provide participant and non-participant information related to perceived enticements and
barriers to participation in Senior Center activities and programs;
* Solicit information which will help the Senior Center staff enhance programming and
volunteer opportunities among the current young-old, mid-old, and old-old senior population,
and;
· Enable the Senior Center staff to identify programming and volunteer opportunities that
will appeal to the upcoming generation of senior citizens.
Target Population
The target population of this survey was Johnson County senior citizens--here defined as
those aged 55 and older. Initially the Center requested a survey of Johnson County residents
aged 45 and older, to enable them to include in their strategic plan the interests and needs not
only of current seniors~ but also those of individuals who would be turning 55 over the next
ten years. It was determined, however~ that the answers of this younger age cohort (45 - 55)
to the questions appropriate to current senior citizens would be too hypothetical to be of any
real service to the planning process. Soliciting the needs and interests of this younger group
in relation to the Senior Center would be helpful, but will necessitate a different approach and
survey instrument. We do encourage the Council to consider such a survey in the future.
Survey Design
The consultant team was requested to develop, manage and analyze a telephone survey.
Three hundred and sixty six telephone surveys of randomly selected Johnson County
residents aged 55 and over were completed. The list of potential survey respondents was
generated from the list of Johnson County registered voters aged 55 and over as of February
1996. The voter list, which includes information about age and place of residence (i.e.: by
voting district) as well as phone numbers was determined to be the most appropriate
sampling frame according to the Center's needs and budget.
It was determined that a minimum of 300 completed surveys was necessary to be able to
make any inferences about the population as a whole. A list of 3,000 names was generated to
ensure that our sample would be adequate, allowing for wrong numbers, no phone, those who
were not home, those who chose not to respond, etc. The sample of 366 completed surveys
was calculated to be representative such that we can assert with 95% confidence that the
sample taken accurately reflects the population in question. Further details of the sample
selection process are available in Appendix 1.
The survey itself was designed in consultation with the Iowa City / Johnson County Senior
Center Survey Committee which provided the team with necessary contextual information
about the current activities of the center and what the Council hoped to learn from the survey.
The Survey Committee was also instrumental in publicizing the survey. Through their
efforts, the public was appraised of the survey (and thus assured of its legitimacy) in print
(see Appendix 2), on radio (The Dottie Ray Show) and on television (SCTV). A focus group
of current Senior Center participants and trial phone interviews were also used to fine tune
the survey instrument. Consultation regarding choice of sampling frame, number of surveys
2
required, and survey design was provided by a faculty advisory committee from the
University of Iowa's Graduate Program in Urban and Regional Planning, and the Iowa Social
Science Institute.
There were three versions of the survey. All three asked the same questions as much as
possible, but from a different perspective as necessary. One set of questions was directed at
those who had heard of the Center and who had attended at least one Center function
(Appendix 4--white; questions 1 - 18). A second set of questions was directed at those who
had heard of the Center, but had never participated in any Center activities (Apl~endix 4--
yellow; questions 1 - 6 and 31 - 39). The third and final set of questions were directed at
those who had never heard of the Iowa City / Johnson County Senior Center (Appendix 4--
pink; questions 1 and 19 - 30). Each survey began with the same two pages with space for
coding, the introductory script, and the first few questions.
The survey was conducted between March 10 and March 27, 1997. Calls were made from
the Center between 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday evenings by a cadre
of Senior Center volunteers. Before beginning the actual survey, the volunteer interviewers
received training in telephone survey communication skills, and were familiarized with the
three versions of the survey which they would be using.
The survey itself was fully scripted and required approximately fifteen minutes to complete.
Interviewers began by introducing themselves, explaining the purpose of the survey and
requesting the voluntary participation of the individual whose name had been randomly
selected. To ensure confidentiality, each of the 3,000 randomly generated names was
assigned a code number (1 to 11,110). It was these code numbers which were recorded on
survey forms, and not the respondents' names. Respondents were given the opportunity to
receive the Senior Center newspaper, The Post, but the names and addresses of interested
individuals (who gave this information themselves and voluntarily) were recorded on a
separate form and not on the survey itself.

Demography of Respondents
Table One shows selected characteristics of the total population of Johnson County voters
aged 55 and over, and of the completed surveys (here referred to as "sample"). This was
done to determine the representative nature of the sample.

It was concluded that the sample was representative of the population. A z-test was used to
determine if there was a statistical difference between the sample and the population.
Characteristics analyzed were age, gender, and residence inside or outside of Iowa City
limits. The test concluded with 95% confidence that despite apparent differences (i.e.: 52%
of the survey'respondents were female, while 56% of the population of registered voters is
female) there was no statistical difference in any of these demographic categories between the
survey sample and the population as a whole. The numeric difference between the two
occurs by random chance only and not by any bias in the survey sample.
~ The 4% of respondents who had never heard of the Iowa City - Johnson County Senior Center is equal to a
raw number of 16. This number is too small to allow for generalization to the population of voters. For this
reason, the data collected on these 16 cases is not reflected in the remainder of the report.

PROFILE OF CURRENT SENIOR CENTER PARTICIPANTS
Of the 366 valid surveys, 159 or 43 percent of these responded that they had heard of the
Senior Center in Iowa City and had attended an event or activity at the Senior Center before
the telephone survey. Following is an analysis of their responses.
The majority of the respondents are very aware of the different types of programs offered by
the Senior Center. This is evident in the bar chart presented below.

Activities Events Volunteer Classes
Opportunities
A significant proportion of these respondents answered that they only participate once a year
or less. The amount of respondents that participate more than once a week was small. From
the survey, we are unable to determine why the proportion of those who participate once a
year or less is so significantly high. Some further questioning may be necessary to determine
how the Senior Center can encourage people to return once they have visited.

[] Once a Year or less (69%)
To determine what type of activities the respondent had participated in, questions asked were
based on fifteen different categories of programs the Senior Center currently offers. First,
respondents were asked whether they currently participate in the fifteen different categories,
then how likely they would be to participate in each respective category in the future.
Response choices were "very likely", "somewhat likely" and "not likely". These three general
categories were
Recreational and outdoor activities,
Culture and the arts, and
Self-improvement and educational activities.
These three general categories were further divided into the fifteen separate categories. The
divisions were
Recreational and outdoor activities
-outdoor and gardening activities
-sports discussion groups
-social activities
-trips and tours
-fitness activities
Culture and the arts
-instrumental music groups
-vocal music groups
-arts and crafts classes
-writing workshops
-television or theater groups
-literature discussion groups
Self-improvement and educational activities
-instructional groups
-medical, legal or financial programs
-health related programs
-pre-retirement classes
The survey also asked respondents about their likelihood of participation in some new, future
programming that may be offered at the Center. Respondents could express their likelihood
of self-improvement programs and computer classes above the beginning level.
The consulting team's analysis focuses on the "very likely" response to determine those that
expressed an interest in future participation. Though the "somewhat likely" response also
expresses some interest, the team felt that this response was a neutral option for respondents
and it was hard to determine the actual degree of intent to participate. Overall, the general
category that participants said that they would be most likely to participate in was recreational
and outdoor activities. The chart below shows how the ''very likely" responses were
distributed over these general categories.

Of the recreational and outdoor activities, trips and tours is the activky that has had the
highest participation rates in the past and respondents are most likely to participate in, in the
future. The top activities in the other general categories were arts and crafts, literature and
book discussions, and health programs.

Barriers--Of the survey respondents, 77 percent of current Senior Center participants live in
the Iowa City/Coralville city limits. There most often used mode of transportation to get to
the center was driving themselves, instead of using public transit or Johnson County SEATS.

It is important to note that there is a slight discrepancy between the respondents that have
Iowa City and Coralville addreises (73%) and those who answered that they live in the Iowa
City/Coralville city limits (77%). We felt that difference occurred because of those
respondents who live on the fringe of the city limits a.nd may or may not have Iowa City or
Coralville address.
These respondents, usually find out about activities from The Post. When they attend
activities at the Center, they usually come with a friend. Sixty-five percent of the respondents
have Iowa City Cable Television.
People who participate are most likely to participate when activities are scheduled during the
morning hours and between noon and 3:30pm. They are not as likely to participate when the
activities are scheduled on the weekend or evening hours. The range of responses follows.

Education Level--The highest percentage of education level finished by those who have
participated at the Senior Center is 26 percent having completed some college. The second
highest category was 24 percent completing high school. The distribution of education is

Income--The income levels were very dispersed. In the survey, 111 of the 159 respondents
answered this question. The highest percentage of income, 26 percent, was at the level of over
$50,000. When considering the data, it is important to consider that some of the respondents
may have reported their household income instead of their individual income. The range of
incomes are shown below.

NON-PARTICIPANT PROFILES
A little over half of those surveyed had heard of the Senior Center but had never participated
in activities at the Center. There was also a category for those that had never heard of the
Center at all. With only 16 completed surveys under this category, the consulting team did
not feel that they could generalize from such a small number. The following section
characterizes the 191 people sampled in the non-participant group..
General Characteristics
Income Level ~ The following pie chart gives the percentages of each income category. The
diversity of income groups represented in each of these categories is a credit to the Senior
Center. The largest of the six categories is the group from $20,000 to $30,000, which is 29
percent of all non-participants surveyed. If these six categories are reduced to three, then 20
percent of this group makes below $20,000 yearly, 45 percent makes between $30,000 and
$40,000 and 35 percent make over $40,000. Non-participants make slightly less money than
those who currently participate in Senior Center activities. However, the differences between
participants and non-participants are probably not great.enough to say that "the Center is for
the rich", as one respondent cormnented. Rather this sentiment may be a perception that the
Senior Center may wish to overcome.

Education Level - The following pie chart displays the different education levels of those
who do not currently participate at the Center. There is a fairly diverse range of education
levels, though the largest category has a high school diploma as their last level of education.
Compared to current participants, this group has a slightly lower education level. Most non-
participants have completed high school, while most of those active at the Senior Center have
at least some college.

Timing ~ This group responded that mornings were the best time for them to participate in
future Senior Center programs. It is also relevant to see which times were worst for this
group. It appears that from 3:30 to 5:00 was the worst time, with over 73 percent of
respondents saying they were not likely to attend activities which took place at this time.
Weekends and then evenings were also bad times for current non-participants to come, with
roughly 65 percent saying they were not likely to come during these two time periods.
13
Modes of Transportation and Methods of Participation - Since their transportation systems
are linked, these two cities have relative ease of access to one another using public transit.
Sixty seven pement of this group lived within the Iowa City and Coralville city limits.
However, as can be seen by the following pie chart, most people drive themselves to
activities in the community. Most also go to community activities with a friend (67 percent of
those sampled). Thirty one percent went to activities alone. These two facts mean that
welcome committees should be very important for the Center. About one third of non-
participants will be alone and will want to feel involved and engaged when they first arrive at
an activity. The Center may want to have specific activities where current participants invite
friends of theirs that do not currently participate. This may get the 67 percent of non~
participants that only attend activities with friends to come to the Senior Center. One
respondent commented that "I understand [the Senior Center] is very nice and people say
'You should go there,' but no one says 'Come and go with me'".

Barriers to Participation - Most non-participants are still working and consider this a barrier
to participation. Other community activities and parking tied for the second most cited reason
that this group does not currently participate in Senior Center activities.

Interest Areas
The consulting team wanted to know what kinds of activities this group undertook in the
co/nmunity at large and what constraints they had to participating in these activities and
Senior Center activities in the future.
The same set of questions regarding interest areas were administered to both current
participants and non-participants. The Figure 14 represents the results of these questions.
Again, all 15 topics discussed in the Participant section have been grouped into three general
category areas.
Recreational and Outdoor Activities - The activities done in the past corresponded with the
likelihood of future Senior Center participation proportionally. This suggests that this group
15
is interested in and will continue to be interested in recreational and outdoor activities. While
the broad category is "Recreational Activities", there was a subcategory with this same title.
The non-participant group had participated most in the subcategory outdoor and gardening
activities such as camping, fishing, nature walks and gardening, with about 30 percent of
those responding saying they had done these activities in the past and were very likely to do
them in the future through the Senior Center. They were next most likely to have participated
in fitness activities.
Culture and Arts - Clearly, within this category, non-participants were most likely to have
partaken in arts and crafts classes or workshops in the past. Second were literature and book
classes. However, when asked which programs they are most likely to do at the Center in the
future, respondents were more likely to participate in literature and book discussion groups.
The Center may want to improve advertisement of these classes if they wish to increase
participation levels of those not currently involved in Senior Center activities. However,
since approximately 35 percent of non-participants get The Post, they may not have
participated in past classes and book groups because they were not interested in the particular
topics covered in Senior Center classes.
Self. lrnprovetnent and Educational Activities - The non-participant group was most
interested in the subcategory of Medical, Legal, and Financial programs for this general
category and the Senior Center could expand such programs if they want to draw those who
are not current participants. Two categories, instructional groups and health and nutrition
classes, tied for activities they were second most likely to participate in at the Center in
future.
Overall, the following graph represents which activity this group was most likely to
participate in at the Center in the future. Almost half said they were very likely to do outdoor
and recreational activities at the Center.

Further Comparisons Between Participants and Non-Participants
Future Programming - This group is more likely to have participated in self-improvement
classes of some sort than in computer classes. But when asked which of these activities they
would most likely do in the future, 75 percent of non-participants said they were interested in
taking computer classes. If the Center is considering offering computer classes, they may
wish to focus on expanding this to include intermediate and advanced classes to attract
current non-participants.
When comparing the Figure 3 to Figure 14, it is evident that the Recreation and Outdoor
activities are important to senior citizens. They are reasonably interested in participating in
these types of activities in the future. However, the specific subcategories of most interest
differ for participants and non-participants. Those currently involved in the Senior Center
were most likely to participate in Trips and Tours in the future, while non-participants said
they were most likely to participate in outdoor activities such as camping, fishing, gardening,
and nature walks.
17
The survey committee mentioned that the Center was considering offering more self-
improvement, computer classes, and fitness activities in the future. They felt that the "young-
old" would be most interested. Therefore, the consultant team tried to determine if younger
senior citizens (those 65 and under) were more likely to participate in fitness programs at the
Center in the future.
Recreational and Outdoor Activities
Non-participants display a higher degree of interest in recreational and outdoor activities
(which includes fitness activities) than current participants. Non-participants also tend to be
younger than participants on average. One might assume, therefore, that non-participants are
more interested in outdoor activities because they are younger. However, when age is
controlled for, there is no significant difference in interest levels for outdoor activities
between those below 65 and those 65 and above. Rather, current participants were simply
less interested in recreational and outdoor activities such as gardening regardless of age. To
reiterate, people currently not involved in the Center were more interested in outdoor and
fitness activities, and age was not a significant factor in determining this interest level. This
suggests that non-participants may be unaware that the Center offers such outdoor and fitness
activities, and that the Senior Center may want to focus on expanding both activities and
types of programs related to fitness in the future.
Sources of Information
When comparing participants and non-participants, the consultant team has often suggested
that the types of programs and the methods of advertisement for these programs might be
changed to increase participation. In order to consider this further, it is necessary to compare
how participants and non-participants find out about activities in the community. Most
participants find out about activities by reading the Post when analyzing the survey
respondents as a whole. Eighty two percent of current participants get The Post, but only 64
of all participants use it as their primary source of information about activities at the Center.
18
Thirty five percent of non-participants get The Post, but only 25 percent use this as their
primary means of finding out about activities they want to participate in. It seems that the
best way to reach non-participants is through the local paper. In the following figure, zero
percent of non-participants use the Senior Center bulletin board. This makes sense because
non-participants have never been to the Senior Center.

The previous sections dealt with the general characteristics of participants and non-
participants. The following section discusses general open-ended comments which may
influence perceptions of the Senior Center. Using the previous and next sections as guides,
the Senior Center may choose not only to change where they focus their advertising, but also
the type and content of advertising they use to attract people.
19
OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS
Because we were using many volunteer interviewers and for ease of analysis, the bulk of the
questions asked in the survey were closed questions: yes / no, or very likely / somewhat likely
/ not likely. To flesh out the results, however, we did ask three open-ended questions were
asked. Appendix C is a complete record of the responses given to these three questions.
OPEN-ENDED QUESTION #1: What event first brought you to the Senior Center?
This question was asked only of those who had been to the Senior Center. A total of 179
responses were recorded. This number exceeds the number of completed current participant
surveys (159) because it includes the comments made by individuals who, for one reason or
another, did not complete the survey. The responses were divided into 18 separate
categories, with a range of three to thirty responses in each category.
Nine respondents (5 percent of the total) did not recall what first brought them to the center.
An additional eight (4 percent) mentioned bringing someone else, or a connection with their
employment without specifying a particular activity.
Twenty-five percent of the responses (44) cited activities talcing place in the Senior Center,
which are not Senior Center activities per se but rather activities sponsored by organizations
who use space in the Senior Center Building. This category includes Senior Dining, medical
services, and meetings in the building.
The 118 remaining responses (66 percent of the total) comprised 14 separate classifications
including categories such as special events (9 percent of the 118), classes and crafts (each 8
percent), music and dance events (11 percent), and volunteering opportunities (7 percent).
The variety of responses given to this question reflects the importance of the diversity of
programming which the Senior Center provides.
20
OPEN-ENDED QUESTION #2:
Senior Center activities?
What is the single greatest barrier to your participation in
This question was asked of both those who had attended Senior Center activities, and those
who had not. A total of 391 responses were recorded. Again, this number reflects a number
of responses greater than the total number of completed surveys. Responses were divided
into 16 categories. Eighty eight percent of the responses fell within seven categories as noted
in Table 2.
TABLE 2. Seven most frequently cited barriers to participation (raw number) %

Just hasn't done it ("inertia", "laziness", "just hasn't gotten involved") (22) 6 %
21
OPEN-ENDED QUESTION #3: Do you have any final comments?
Interviewers were encouraged to record comments made by respondents in the course of the
survey as well as their direct responses to this question. A total of 188 comments were
recorded. These comments were divided into seven broad categories.
TABLE 3. Category of Comments (raw number) %
Positive general comments about the Center (51) 27 %
Generally positive comments but add reasons for not participating (52) 28 %
Distance and/or location are a factor (12) 6 %
Parking and/or transportation are a problem (16) 9 %
Comments related to age and perceptions of the Senior Center (21) 11%
Critiques and suggestions (11) 6 %
Other--many say nothing about the Center but give reasons for non-participation (24) 13 %
Fifty-five percent of the comments were positive, and said things like "I think the Senior
Center is great;" "I have felt the Senior Center has remarkable offerings for all kinds of
people;" and "the Senior Center is a dandy place." Those who felt positively about the center,
but weren't participating generally "keep busy with other activities," had "too many things
going on but plan to participate later" or think "programs are great but doesn't have time to
come."
The next largest category of responses is those comments related to age and perceptions of
the Senior Center. Comments were varied and ranged from "not old enough, just retired
three years ago" to "has two teenagers (is 60) and 'doesn't feel a kinship' with the Senior
Center" to "my father always said 'too many old people', and it has had its effect on me."
There was little pattern to the critiques and suggestions. Some mentioned areas of interest:
22
black jack classes, self-improvement, the outdoors, and a music library. One person
commented, "Center should make more of an effort to make people feel welcome, some days
I walk through and nobody speaks."
All but two of the 12 respondents who mentioned that distance was a factor clearly live
outside of Iowa City. Fifty percent of them mention other "centers" that meet their needs.
One person thinks "the Center should be away from downtown."
Twelve individuals mentioned that "parking is a big problem." One mentioned that "steps are
a problem for an amputee" and another commented that the front entrance is not the best
place to load and unload persons. [S/he] realizes there is a side entrance, but not everyone
knows about it."

SURVEY DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY
TARGET POPULATION / SAMPLING UNIT:
55 and older.
Johnson County residents who are aged
SAMPLE: The sample was a stratified random sample.
SAMPLE SIZE: In order to generate a sample that is capable of reflecting the total
population, experts recommend a sample size that is at least 2% of the population. Our
sample of 366 is 3.29 % of the population of Johnson County.
SAMPLING FRAME: Johnson County Registered voters list for 1996
This particular sampling frame was chosen for a number of reasons:
· The list could be pre-screened so as to only include those who are aged 55 and older, thus
enabling us to generate a list of potential respondents who are age appropriate.
· The list would appear to include as high a percentage of the target population as (if not
higher than) any other that would be available to us.
* The list includes not only name and phone number but additional demographic data which
could be useful to the survey (e.g.: sex, residence within or outside of Iowa City boundaries,
etc.).
· The tist was available to us because of the proposed use of the list (in association with a
City / County agency), and was much less costly in terms of time or money than other
alternatives.
SAMPLING STRATEGY: Each name on the list of Johnson County registered voters was
assigned a code number from 1 to 11, 110. Using EXCEL5 a list of 3,000 code numbers
between 1 and 11,110 was randomly generated. The names whose assigned numbers
matched the numbers generated became the calling lists.
REPRESENTATIVENESS OF SAMPLE: A z-test was used to determine if there was a
statistical difference between the sample and the population. Characteristics analyzed were
age, gender, and residence inside or outside of Iowa City limits. The test concluded with
25
95% confidence that despite apparent differences (i.e.: 52% of the survey respondents were
female, while 56% of the population of registered voters is female) there was no statistical
difference in any of these demographic categories between the survey sample and the
population as a whole. The numeric difference between the two occurs by random chance
only and not by any bias in the survey sample.
Limitations
All surveying, no matter how well designed, contains some level of bias. There are reactive
effects in that people may behave / answer differently when they know that they are being
surveyed. There are also interviewer effects. The cadre of volunteers for this survey were
Senior Center volunteers. As these individuals were for the most part active participants and
thus advocates for the Center, their survey approach was not always neutral as that of a
disinterested interviewer would be.
Older, and especially female, voices are considered the optimum surveying voice. The
telephone survey is the legitimate surveying method which was determined to be most
appropriate to our target population and budget. As does any survey method, the telephone
survey in and of itself does present certain limitations. By definition, those who do not have
telephones are excluded, and where wrong numbers are recorded a potential respondent is
often lost to the survey. Additionally, those with hearing, cognitive, and/or language
difficulties are frequently selected out either by themselves or by the interviewer. These
issues may be more prevalent in an elderly population.
It is important to keep the biases which may have been introduced in mind when considering
the implications of the data.
The Johnson County registered voters list was chosen for the reasons cited above. This does
exclude from the possibility of random selection any individual who is not a registered voter
in Johnson County. In considering various potential sampling frames, an attempt was made
to identify the approximate percentage of Johnson County seniors (aged 55 and over) who are
registered voters. The data available to us were 1990 US Census for Johnson County Iowa
and projections for 1995, and the registered voters lists for Johnson County, Iowa for 1996.
Whether compared to the 1990 data or 1995 projections, statistically more than 100% of
Johnson County residents over the age of 55 are on the registered voters list. This is due, of
26
course, to the fact that names are not removed from the list unless a specific request is made,
or if an individual does not vote in four consecutive elections. While in reality the percentage
of residents 55 and over who are registered voters is surely somewhat less than 100%, it is
clearly quite high. It must be considered, however, that some bias may have been introduced
by excluding non-voters.

WHAT FIRST BROUGHT YOU TO THE CENTER?
This question was asked only of those who had participated in Senior Center programs to
determine which activities first brought them in. One hundred and seventy-nine responses
were recorded. This number exceeds the number of totally completed participant (white)
surveys because it includes the comments recorded on surveys which, for one reason or
another, were not completed. It is important to note that these responses as recorded here are
intended only to reflect patterns in the aggregate. Due to the small number of responses
given in any one category it is not appropriate to use these responses to compare the relative
attraction of the various offerings mentioned.

WHAT IS THE SINGLE GREATEST BARRIER TO YOUR
PARTICIPATION IN SENIOR CENTER A CTIFITIES ?
This question was asked of participants and non-participants alike. It was asked following
the yes/no question with the list of possible barriers (white, question 12; yellow, question 31).
In the case of participants, the purpose was to discover what the single greatest difficulty they
had encountered in participating was and/or what kept them from participating more. In the
case of non-participants, the intent was to determine which single barrier was most
responsible for their lack of participation. Three hundred and ninety one responses were
recorded. This number exceeds the number of totally completed surveys because it includes
the comments made by respondents who, for one reason or another, did not complete the
survey.

A friend often invites but she hasn't started to come, except for tax assistance; (how did
they get her name for the post? - the friend or the welcome wagon?)

use Iowa City library occasionally).

for me to get around

40

young)

· parking is a big problem. Can't walk up hill from Chauncy Swan. Would come alone or
with friends, except for parking situation. Recently retired..
· I don't think you could improve on anything at the Center: food, entertainment is
wonderful. The only thing is the parking. More people would love to come but there would
be no place to park.
· the Center is fine, except for parking
· Center sounds fine except for parking
· I rely on SEATS. Whenever they are available, that's when I can come
. she thinks the Senior Center is wonderful, but is hampered by parking situation and lack
of funds

· parking is the big problem
· parking is a problem: keeps her out of Iowa City; "Love that Post"
· no transportation; 3/4 miles from home; get a bus out here
· parking is too much of a problem
front entrance is not the best to load and unload persons. Realizes there is a side entrance,
but not everyone knows about it.
PERCEPTION OF AGE
Some respondents consider themselves to be too young for the Center's services, while others
are perhaps too old and infirm for active involvement.
* "my father always said too many old people, and it has had its effect on me"
. no comments, not ready for this
maybe sometime; too busy now
not ready, in the future
in the future I may come
Is only 56, not retired, doesn't view self as Senior Citizen
too young yet (58); would be interested in taking part in a support group for people who
have to deal with a sudden trauma. She has learned at 58 that she has congestive heart
failure, can no longer work, etc. Cant' find a support group. Particularly interested in relating
to young-old group.
. not old enough - just retired 3 years ago
41

Center.

Senior Center. "It's for those who need it."

· very old and in poor health;...no way to get to the Senior Center, but is unclear whether he
would be physically able to
CRITIQUES AND SUGGESTIONS
· oil painting - too expensive if costs $70
· Center should make more of an effort to make people feel welcome, some days I walk
through and nobody speaks
· senior meals too expensive and not enough to eat
· some things are not a good buy - such as trips; survey should have been structured better,
but then it would have been hard to evaluate
· I came down there once about 10:00am and you were closed. So I didn't come back
· feels strongly that building should be better utilized for more hours
· has never been to Senior Center; will never come; thirdcs it's a waste of time
· thinks Center is a wonderful thing but is outdoors man [not interested in indoor activities]
· interested in self-improvement and computer courses
· really interested in cooking classes
· she is a veteran; might be interested in a blackjack class

North Liberty Wastewater Treatment Plant
A meeting was recently held to allow concerned parties to discuss the proposed new North
Liberty wastewater treatment plant prior to the Iowa DNR public hearings on May 21. Iowa
City was represented by Dave Elias, Chuck Shmadeke and Ed Moreno. Representatives from
Coralville and the University were also present. The following items were discussed:
The representatives from the City of Iowa City and The University of Iowa expressed
similar concerns, that being the protection of their surface drinking water supply.
Their concern lies in the potential for future industrial and residential growth in' North
Liberty which might increase the potential for releases of toxins and pathogens to
North Liberty's sewer which could pass through the wastewater treatment plant and
threaten the downstream drinking water intakes. The representatives from both the
City of Iowa City and the University of Iowa feel that continued discharge of North
Liberty's wastewater treatment plant effluent above the downstream drinking water
intakes is unacceptable.
Coralville is concerned that the design of the proposed treatment plant does not
provide adequate protection to users of Muddy Creek, Coralville is primarily
concerned about the potential for pathogens in Muddy Creek which could pose a
human health threat to those who come into contact with the water.
Shive-Hattery, engineers for North Liberty, explained that the proposed wastewater
treatment plant has been designed according to Iowa DNR standards and regulations
which are designed to protect public health and the environment. It was also noted
that North Liberty has a sewer ordinance which'eprevents industries from releasing
toxins, and several allowances have been made in the design which allow for
2
operation and maintenance without removing major pieces of equipment from
operation.
Chuck Schmadeke noted that in the 1960s Iowa City and Coralville were involved in
a law suit over a similar issue. Coralville was eventually required to discharge their
wastewater downstream from the Iowa City's water intakes.
It was noted that Iowa City did have knowledge of North Liberty's existing
wastewater treatment plant when they selected the location for their proposed new
water treatment plant (which is planned to be located immediately downstream from
the point where Muddy Creek discharges to the Iowa River).
A comparison was drawn to New York City's water supply where cities upstream are
required to provide tertiary treatment (such as sand filtration) before discharging to
the drainage basin of New York's water supply. It was pointed out this is not a
relevant comparison since New York's water supply is pristine and no water
treatment is required - this is not the case with the Iowa River.
It was pointed out that North Liberty's plans to build the proposed new wastewater
treatment plant have been officially approved by the Iowa DNR and North Liberty has
invested a great deal of time and effort in assuring that the proposed treatment plant
was designed according to Iowa DNR standards and regulations.
It was noted that Shive-Hattery and North Liberty did not consider source water
protection in evaluating different options for wastewater treatment. However,
Shive-Hattery did consider an alternative which would have bypassed downstream
drinking water supplies (i.e. convey to Coralville), but this alternative was determined
to be less desirable than building a new treatment plant.
It was generally agreed that the only feasible method for North Liberty to discharge
their wastewater downstream from the Iowa City and University intakes would most
likely be to convey to Coralville's wastewater treatment plant. The representatives
from Iowa City did not feel that connection to Iowa City's sewer and wastewater
3
treatment plant would be a viable alternative. Coralville indicated it would be
interested in working with North Liberty regarding this matter.
10.
All parties present at the meeting expressed an interest in trying to find mutually
beneficial solutions to the concerns raised.
11.
Shive~Hattery indicated that they would ask North Liberty's City Administrator, Tom
Doermann, if he would be interested in taking another look at the potential for
conveying North Liberty's wastewater to Coralville. If North Liberty is interested in
revisiting this alternative, the potential for meeting with Coralville to discuss the issue
will be considered.
12.
It was generally agreed that once North Liberty has had a chance to consider the
concerns raised, another meeting of the concerned parties to be held before the Iowa
DNR's public hearing would be useful. In any case, Shive-Hattery stated that they
would contact all parties involved in this meeting prior to the May 21 public hearing
to provide an update on North Liberty's position.

Admissions Statistics -- Iowa City Housing Authority Residents
The other day I was asked by a Council Member for some "profile" information of our Public
Housing residents as well as our Section 8 tenants. In discussing the matter with Maggie
Grosvenor, our Housing Administrator, she indicated that she could provide some very basic
information. Our current database was not satisfactory in her judgment and therefore she has
set about the task of improving the database. She was able to provide some general
information that when extrapolated could give you a picture of the residency at time of
admission of citizens participating in the Section 8 and living in City owned Public Housing
units.
Of the 43 Public Housing residents that we were able to take directly from our limited database,
(we own 107 units of public housing) all 43 were residents of Iowa City at the time of admission
to the program.
Of our Section 8 tenants, 438 of the 960 were taken from our database and the following
represents a breakdown of their residence at the time of admission to the Section 8 program.
Section 8
Iowa City 311 71%
Coralville 66 15%
North Liberty 45 10%
State of Iowa 11 2.5%
Out of State 5 1.1%
438 out of 968 participants
As I indicated our database is not complete and we will be improving the information for future
reference. It would require us to hand sort each file, which would be very time consuming.
Maggie has established an improved database as a goal for her division.

City Manager
Airport Commemial Development/New Public Works Yards
Your April 1 memorandum to the Airport Commission discussing the area north of Runway 17 for commercial
and industrial use is well prepared. It not only outlines options but also raises necessary questions to provide
for our policy guidance. You appear to have identified the most pertinent issues for the development of this
area as they relate to the needs of the Airport Master Plan. Economic development of this large vacant area
appears to be in the overall best interests of our community.
As we discussed and as I have learned in review of the Airport Commission minutes, there appears to be
interest in the development of this area by the new owners of the property known as Wardway Plaza. The
purpose of this memorandum is to not only reinforce what I believe to be the critical issues outlined in your
April 1 memorandum, but to also encourage a comprehensive planning of the area. I also want to initiate
discussion about the possible location of a new Public Works facility on a portion of this land. Our early
indications to you were that this site would not be our first choice; however, as I will explain later, this site now
appears more favorable.
The area in question involves over 50 acres and being adjacent to existing commercial area could
certainly lead us to the conclusion that this land could be used productively for commercial/industrial
purposes. I also see this area as a potential site for new and much needed Department of Public
Works/Public Works yards. In order to accomplish any development whether it be the expansion of the
commercial area and/or the construction of Public Works facilities there is a need for water, sewer, streets
and other engineering requirements. I believe it is in our community's best interest to do such planning
comprehensively. Before committing to any developer and/or the submittal of a request for proposal to
prospective developers, I would encourage an engineering study to be done to identify the infrastructure
needs and development potential for this area. Such an engineering study would identify utility needs and
a possible street layout in conjunction with the commercial area. I would also recommend that land be
identifiable as a possible Department of Public Works site. Once all of these engineering related issues
have been identified, the subdivision of the land can occur and incorporate our community's interests into
the Airport as well as community comprehensive plans. I recognize the engineering study may be an extra
burden on our Departments of Planning and Public Works, therefore I would recommend a consultant be
engaged, supervised by Planning, Public Works and Airport, to do this work. Also the Department of
Public Works has done preliminary engineering work.
Airport Commercial Development
May 19, 1997
Page 2
The need for the engineering work I believe is critical to accomplish any development potential. The
director of Public Works has made me aware that site preparation will likely require substantial fill,
regardless of the land uses.
In order that you can understand the importance of this site to the Department of Public Works, I need
only point out our current Public Works yard which is in desperate need of renovation. As you are aware,
the Department of Public Works looked at a site on the south portion of the Airport. It was discovered this
land would require approximately four feet of fill. We went so far as to envision designing a lake on the
property using fill from the lake. The cost was significant and we were concerned about airport hazards
such as water fowl. This land is not precluded from some commercial and/or industrial development but it
does severely limit the use of that land without significant investment.
We then moved to a discussion and review of our current Public Works site, that is where the Public
Works yard/Transit building are located. As you are aware it is an old landfill. There is some economic
value to this site such as limited commercial. It was determined if we were to build new Public Works
facilities, the landfill waste should be removed. The cost of this removal in relandfilling is approximately $3
million. Such a site preparation cost is so expensive that it cannot be justified for the purposes of the
Public Works buildings.
The proposed north Runway 17 site offers many favorable opportunities for our Public Works building.
The site needed would be approximately seven to ten acres. Construction could be staged and we would
move operations over a period of years, and yet due to location can still conveniently supervise public
works activities which remain on the old (existing) site. Our development needs would require two
entrances. This also supports economic development opportunity for the remaining portions of the land.
The Public Works yard would be a compatible use in the area.
Please give this matter some thought. I will be copying the City Council on this memorandum and I would
like to proceed with more formal discussions so we commit to the formal engineering work.

Re: Goal Session -- September 1996
As you requested at my recent performance evaluation, at which I identified the action goals
you defined at your September 1996 goal session, the following is a summary of those goals
and my comments.
If you will recall the Council reviewed all of the goals you collectively identified and established
priorities as follows:
The following represents the priority and the particular goal.
1. Downtown revitaiization.
2. Long-term financial security/stability/flexibility. }
} TIED
3. Revisit and implement Housing policy discussion/long-term Housing plan. }
4. City Departments more user friendly. }
} TIED
5. Dispose or develop 64-1a. }
6. Impose physical appearance over all city.
7. Industrial property.
8. Prioritize staffing additions.
9. Departmental review.
GOALS
Downtown Revitalization.
This goal directed that the City convene a group of citizens, specifically those that were
merchants and/or users of downtown (non-City Council) for the purpose of identifying
downtown needs, strategies, etc. That group was convened under the direction of the
Planning Director and a strategy plan developed and presented to you. An action plan
prepared by the staff for these strategies is forthcoming.
Lon_q-term financial securitv/stabilitv/flexibilitv.
We have completed the analysis and projection of our financial position. This was done
in response to a request by the Council for such information as a part of the discussions
concerning the Library/Cultural Center project on 64-1a. The analysis involved six years
of history and thirteen years of projections. We have been directed to prepare various
options for further policy discussion. That work is underway. We were also recently
notified we have again been awarded the Government Finance Officers Association
Certificate of Excellence for our comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR).
Revisit and implement Housin_q policv discussion/Ion.q-term Housin_q plan.
There are numerous projects associated with housing that have been initiated and
approved by the City Council. They include the CDBG Program, HOME Program, and
City STEPS. Also we have recently hired a new Housing Administrator and she comes
to work in a financial environment where most of the major financial issues/short falls
that were plaguing the operation in the past have been addressed.
At your Council meeting of May 20 a new housing voucher grant program for persons
with disabilities is to be considered. The Homebuilders as well as landlord groups
participated in a review Of City Building and Housing Codes.
City Departments more user friendIv.
The staff has initiated the generalized concept of how to make each of our departments
more user friendly. Recent activities include the creation of an employee TEAM
Committee to propose programs to improved 'City image. The new Housing
Administrator has developed newsletters for both tenants and landlords, a City cable
program proposal has been initiated and details of which will be presented to you
3
shortly, a telephone has been installed at the information desk for use by our citizens for
routine business and drop boxes for utilities installed.
Dispose or develop 64-1a.
The private development component of the Library/Cultural Center project has been
prepared and approved by Council and will be sent to private developers. The use of 64-
la in conjunction with the Library and cultural project awaits future Council decisions.
Impose phvsical appearance over all citv.
The number of initiatives concerning the physical appearance of our community are
underway. We have directed our early efforts at City facilities, such as an upcoming
proposal for a new Public Works site/facility, a proposal to determine the ultimate long-
term use of the landfill, and plans to renovate the entrance to the Civic Center.
Industrial propertv.
The Council has concluded a public/private partnership agreement with the owner of the
Streb Industrial Park. The land has been annexed and zoned industrial and commercial.
Additionally the property immediately north of Runway 17 appears to have development
opportunities with respect to commercial and industrial. The project proposal is pending.
Prioritize staffin_q additions.
The issue of prioritizing staff additions no major work has been undertaken.
Departmental review.
The department review has taken on a number of issues, specifically a reorganization of
Streets and Traffic Engineering, a proposal by the Fire Department to the City of
Coralville for a sharing of services and the general financial issues have been reviewed
and await future decisions.

Most of you are aware that I prepare an annual summary of Council activities such as legislative
decisions and other major decisions of consequence by the City Council. This annual summary
is gleaned substantially from the Council agendas that are prepared.
During my performance evaluation the Council indicated that they enjoyed the reading as well
as all data and other information found in departmental annual reports. They specifically liked
the Fire Department's report format. I would encourage each of you to take a look at Andy's
annual report and consider how you might prepare a department annual report. We can discuss

Iowa City, IA 52240
CITY OF I0 WA CITY
Dear Mr. Fischer:
Your letter regarding your concerns about a break-in at home at 1203 Tracy Lane has been
forwarded to the City Council and chief of police as you requested. I have asked the police chief
to provide my office with a report on the circumstances concerning this case.
You specifically mentioned the use of detectives as opposed to uniform personnel in the
investigation of the crime scene. A number of our uniformed personnel are trained as crime
scene technicians in order to perform such work as fingerprinting and the related crime scene
information gathering. The training provided to the crime scene technician elevates their level of
expertise above that of a detective. Officer Singleman did attempt to develop fingerprints and
determined the responsible party or parties appeared to be wearing gloves at the time of the
burglaw. Officer Singleman also examined the footprint but determined he was not able to
preserve the print for evidence due to the quality of the print. These are field decisions made by
our personnel and are done so based upon their training and experience.
The information regarding your home as vacant is for emergency purposes, when there is a
protracted absence. With many of our citizens out of town for these long periods of time, such
as wintering in other states, we cannot do the daily check that you appear to request. Most
citizens use friends and neighbors to notify them of any unusual circumstances. Apparently
your brother-in-law was to be providing you with this type of assistance.
You also mention in your correspondence an officer who lives near your home. This particular
Iowa City police officer is assigned duties other than patrol and would not routinely be exposed
to the information regarding homes which are vacant for any of a number of reasons.
We believe your case is and has been investigated thoroughly and will continue to do so. Any
other specific information requests I would encourage you to contact Chief of Police R. J.
Winkelhake at 356-5270.
Sincerely,
Step n J~ At i~

Re: Northside Parking Issue
During your discussions regarding the conversions of fraternities/sororities to
rooming houses and the impact on parking, it was requested that staff further
investigate the issue of parking in the Northside neighborhood.
Parking has long been a concern for the Northside neighborhood. The
neighborhood has discussed the issue formally at, at least, two of their
neighborhood meetings. Due to turnover of leadership or boards, the discussion
has not evolved into a potential solution that could be further evaluated or
implemented.
I have approached the Northside neighborhood with a process developed by staff
to address the parking concerns of the neighborhood. The proposal suggests that
staff would prepare a discussion of various parking control alternatives to be
presented at a neighborhood meeting. The neighborhood meeting would be the
opportunity for the neighborhood to learn more about these alternatives, make
suggested changes or incorporate variations to the alternatives and determine if
any of the alternatives should be pursued.
The Northside Neighborhood Association board wishes to discuss this proposed
process. I have also asked them if it would be appropriate to wait to have the
neighborhood meeting until school resumes in the fall. It is likely that the board
meeting could occur within the next few weeks. I will update the Council when I
receive the neighborhood response.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me at 356-

It t6ok less than five minules for the fast
blood to be drawn.
From there, things only got more
intense.
Shootfighters from ail over the Mid-
west competed for $8,000 in prize money
at Extreme Chailenge V, a shootfighting
tournament held at the Five Sullivan
Brothers Convention Center Friday and
Satinday.
In the first. ever shootfighting event in
Iowa with a tournament format, Cedar
Falls'Travis Fulton advanced to the finals
in the 200-pound weight class where he
fought for a title Saturday.
But Fulton lost a unanimous decision
by the judges to Omaha's Brian Dunn (6-
1), settling for a $500 second-place check.
"I'm good friends with Brian, and we
kept the s/xamnanship out there," Fulton
said. "I gave my best, but he's a great
fighter and deserved to win."
Waterloo's Caz Daniels made his pm
debut in his home town, losing his semifi-
nal match Friday at 180 pounds but
rebounding to win his third.place bout
and collect $30QSaturday..
"I was a little bit worded because the
first guy I fought (Dave Strasser) was
' expected to destroy me, but I hung with
him,and he beat me in an arm-lock;"
Daniels said. "But I was pretty happy

the bout when he landed a series of
punches to the head and face. Referee Pat
Milerich, a world class extreme fighter,
stopped the fight with 1:17 left in over-

him, and I was just going to go out there

him, slow do~ his game, and nnke him

As the aggressor for most of the match,'
Daniels controlled the tempo, improving
his record to 1-1. '
"I want to get my record built up and
eventually get on pay-per-vie~0v (televi-

10 more fights."

for the championship at 160 pounds
where Chicago's Shoney Carter (6-2)

Carter and.Menne battled forociously
through the 16.minute regulation and 5-
minute overtime.
Menne preferred to stay on the ground,
looking for a submission hold. Carter
grappled well and landed several dan~ag-
ing blows to the head and ribs.
By the end of the bout both mea were
bloodied and exhausted, but Carter
earned the $1,000 prize after he was given
the nod b.y two of the three judges.
In the 180-pound title match, Betten-
doff's Dave Strasser kept his unbeaten
record intact at 5.O-1 when he gave Jesse
Jones (34) his first defeat.
In another match involving a local, Bri-
an Mayfield of Cedar Falls lost his exl~'bi-

the opening bout Friday. He bled all over'

CITY MANAER'S O :FICE
Dear Steve:
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how
pleased I am with the employees of Iowa City Cable° In
November 1995, I worked with Bob Hardy to coordinate taping
of a Native American Heritage Month Observance I had
organized for USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service
and Iowa Department of Soil Conservation employees. The
event took place at the University Of Iowa Memorial Union.
It was a fantastic event that was made even better by the
assistance I received from the Iowa City crew consisting of
Jerry Nixon and Ann Blanchard. They not only set up their
own equipment for taping, but helped me prepare equipment
for my own presentation as well as the guest speaker. I was
very impressed by the technical expertise as well as the
excellent professionalism displayed by Bob, Jerry, and Ann.
I enjoyed working with them so much.
In November 1996, I had the opportunity to coordinate
another Native American Month Oservance. This program was
done at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids. I again
contacted Bob Hardy for assistance in taping the program. I
was thrilled that it was possible for taping to take place
even outside of Johnson County! The 1996 program was even
better than 1995, and again the Iowa City Cable employees
were fantastic! Jerry worked with me again as well as Ethan
Fox. I am told that our program was the first for the
Community Television Service (CTS). Ethan is doing a great
job in getting that service going.
I am so impressed by the quality of the program created with
the special effects. The program televised on Government
Access is eye-catching and professional. I am also so happy
with how often and the length of time the programs were
televised. I have also taken the opportunity to purchase
copy tapes of the programs to use for routing to employees
statewide that were unable to attend the observances. I
have received excellent comments about the program content
