In FY97 the private capital invested (spent) in HOME projects was approximately $770,000. In addition, other private funds have been committed to projects but not yet expended. City of Iowa City, Iowa HOME Annual Performance Report 7/1/96 to 6/30/97 Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) There are two local nonprofit organizations in Iowa City recognized as CHDOs -- Hawkeye Area Community Action Program (HACAP) and Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (GICHF). Both of these CHDOs have been awarded funds for housing projects. In FY97, the City allocated 9278,890 to GICHF. This allocation represented approximately 50% of the City's HOME allocation, which is well above the minimum 15% reserved for CHDOs. In 1997 a third organization approached the City seeking CHDO status -- the River City Housing Collective (RCHC). The City requested assistance from the State of Iowa in certifying this third organization as a CHDO. The Iowa Department of Economic Development notified the City in June, 1997, that RCHC did qualify as a CHDO according to their standards. City of Iowa City, Iowa HOME Annual Performance Report 7/1/96 to 6/30/97 D. Affirmative Marketing In FY97 there were efforts made by the City of Iowa City to promote and comply with the Affirmative Marketing regulations in 24 CFR Part 95.351. The foilowing is a brief outline of activities undertaken in FY97 as related to HOME requirements. Affirmative marketing, as defined in the HOME regulations, '?~cludes informing the public, owners, and potential tenants about Federal fair housing laws... ': The City of Iowa City promotes non-discrimination and human rights through ordinances, publications and advertisements. A Human Rights Commission and Human Rights Coordinator are supported by the City as are other public efforts such as fair housing forums. A recognition of exemplary efforts in these areas are highlighted each year at a Human Rights Awards ceremony. The Human Rights Coordinator has completed changes to Iowa City's ordinances so the City may achieve HUD's substantial equivalency level. HUD is currently reviewing Iowa City's ordinance. Information about fair housing laws is also distributed to the public, tenants and landlords by the City's Housing and Inspection Services (HIS) division and Iowa City Housing Authority (ICHA). "Requirements and practices each owner must adhere to in order to carry out the participating jurisdiction's affirmative marketing procedures and requirements... ': Compliance with non-discrimination laws and affirmative marketing requirements are a part of the City's CDBG and HOME agreements with all subrecipients. Affirmative marketing, fair housing and other HUD requirements are monitored by the City on an annual basis. "Procedures to be used by owners to inform and solicit applications from persons in the housing market area who are not likely to apply for housing without special outreach ". Federally funded projects are advertised to the public through the public participation process (e.g. commission meetings, advertisements, public meetings and public hearings). The City makes an effort to disseminate information through various activities such as the following: special effort to involve local service organizations; encourage clients to attend these meetings or express their needs via City of Iowa City, Iowa HOME Annual Performance Report 7/1/96 to 6/30/97 the service agency; advertise in the local media; cable TV; and post information on community information bulletin boards. Iowa City's relationship with the local non-profits is very good. As such, housing and/or services assisted with federal funds is disseminated throughout the community. In addition, the ICHA has a staff representative to the Housing and Community Development Commission so they are aware of housing projects and services. Finally, the City and local service organizations are often invited to give informational presentations for religious and service organizations. At these forums information is also distributed regarding the availability of housing and/or services. "Records that wll! be kept describing actions taken by the participating jurisdiction and by owners to affirmatively market units and records to assess the results of these actions." The City requires each Subrecipient of HOME funds to have an affirmative marketing plan which is approved by the City. This affirmative marketing plan is monitored by the City for compliance. Records of the monitoring visit are then kept on a project by project basis. "A description of how the participating jurisdiction will annually assess the success of affirmative marketing actions and what corrective actions will be taken where affirmative marketing requirements are not met." The City assesses the success of affirmative marketing through annual project reporting by the Subrecipient on affirmative marketing activities and via the demographic breakdown of households\persons served. In addition, the Community Development Division monitors the number of housing complaints filed with the City's Human Rights Coordinator. By working with the Human Rights Coordinator we can see if any complaints have arisen with any publicly funded housing project(s). Any Subrecipient not in compliance with their affirmative marketing plan, or not making a "good faith" effort in this area will be cited by the City and given an opportunity to take corrective actions. If the problem persists the City, may through the terms of the HOME Contract, terminate the contract for cause and demand repayment of public subsidies. City of Iowa City, Iowa HOME Annual Performance Report 7/1/96 to 6/30/97 FY97 HOME Projects 1A. Iowa City Housing Authority -- Tenant Based Rent Assistance: The Iowa City Housing Authority (ICHA) has an affirmative marketing plan in place that is in compliance with HUD's regulations for Section 8 and Public Housing. 1B. First National Bank -- Downpayment Assistance for Manufactured Housing: First National Bank signed the HOME contract (1-2-97) which requires affirmative marketing. The bank started the program in May, 1997. The bank conducts an advertising campaign to promote the program locally by running an advertisement once a week. When applications for assistance are received they are forwarded to the City for review and approval. This gives the City an opportunity to monitor who has applied for the funding and who receives the assistance. A minimum of 32 low income households will be served through this project. 1C. GICHF and Robert Burns -- Saratoga Springs L.P.: This project involves the construction of 16 affordable rental units (8 - 2 bedroom units and 8 - 3 bedroom units). To date the partnership has acquired the land and started construction. They have a signed HOME contract and will be providing an affirmative marketing plan to the City for approval prior to lease-up. Anticipated occupancy of all 16 units will be households under 60% median income and/or households with Section 8 rent assistance. 1D. D & K Properties -- SRO'Housing: D & K properties has a signed HOME contract and a lease reviewed by the City Attorney's Office. D & K advertises for vacancies at the emergency housing shelters and by distributing information to local human service providers. There are 21 units at 716 N. Dubuque Street that are rented at or below Fair Market Rent (FMR) levels, In addition, 9 of these rooms are targeted to persons below 20% median income. This project was rented up in June, 1997 and semi-annual reports will submitted by D & K to verify service, updates on client successes and provide demographic information. Clients applying to live at the 716 N. Dubuque Street house were from emergency shelter lists, waiting lists from other SRO houses, and from advertisements. 1E. Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (GICHF) -- Acquisition of Real Property: GICHF has purchased two vacant lots and is planning on constructing two starter homes. These two homes will be sold to low income homebuyers at a lower cost than existing properties, because the homebuyer will be only purchasing the improvements. The land will then be leased to the homebuyer on an affordable, long-term agreement. To date, only the land has been purchased. When the homes are completed GICHF will follow their affirmative marketing plan and follow the requirements of their HOME contract. City of Iowa City, Iowa HOME Annual Performance Report 7/1/96 to 6/30/97 1F. Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (GICHF) -- Acquisition\Rehab: GICHF has an existing affirmative marketing plan in place that complies with the HOME requirements.

City of Iowa City -- Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation: The City advertises this and other rehabilitation programs through the local media, directed mailings to target neighborhoods, City newsletters (in the utility bills) and through local human service organizations. A waiting list of eligible households is kept by the Housing Rehabilitation office and projects are undertaken in order from the list. The waiting list usually contains approximately 30-50 households at any given time. 3A. GICHF and Hawkeye Area Community Action Program (HACAP) -- Operational Funding: Not applicable. 4A. City of Iowa City -- Administration: Not applicable. City of Iowa City, Iowa HOME Annual Performance Report 7/1/96 to 6/30/97 E, Minority Outreach Participation of minority contractors and women owned businesses has been good in Iowa City, especially in the Housing Rehabilitation Program. Although efforts are made to encourage W\MBEs there are few located in the Iowa City area. Iowa City's Community Development Division has a recruitment and outreach program in place to assist W\MBEs. In addition, all of the CDBG and HOME contracts with subrecipients include language encouraging the use of W\MBEs. In FY97, there were two pr.ojects that required construction or rehabilitation, the Saratoga Springs L.P. and GICHF acquisition\rehab. Both of these projects advertised and made efforts to distribute plans and specifications to a wide spectrum of contractors. Iowa City also has a commitment to assist small contractors get started. In the past, this assistance has helped W\MBEs (see the Small Business Assistance Program in Appendix A). City of Iowa City, Iowa HOME Annual Performance Report 7/1/96 to 6/30/97 F. Tenant Assistance\Relocation In FY97, there were no HOME activities that required Uniform Relocation Assistance (URA). The purchase by D & K Properties L.L.C. of the fraternity house at 716 N. Dubuque Street for use as an SRO did not require URA. However, since the fraternity was closing down the members had to move out, which was prior to the sale of the property. To be safe, D & K Properties L.L.C. and the City received URA waiver forms from all of the fraternity members moving out.

Page I of 2 form HUD,-40107 (11/92) APPENDIX A CITY OF IOWA CITY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION SMALL BUSINESS ASSISTANCE PLAN 1996 Purpose This plan is designed to meel the City of Iowa City's policy of promoting the establishment of small business enterprises. It is consistent with the State and Federal programs for assistance to minority, women and other small businesses. This plan is designed primarily to assist those small contracting businesses participating in the City of Iowa City's Housing Rehabilitation Program and other Community Development projects. Assistance to Individual Small Businesses Provide contracting opportunities to small businesses through the Housing Rehabilitation program and other CDBG and HOME projects. Maintain a list of qualified contractors to provide to clients of the rehab program, other city departments, and to the general public. Minority and women owned businesses are noted. 3. Provide technical assistance, reference materials, and other information. 4. Provide information about Lead-Based Paint and .other hazardous materials. 5. Provide referrals to the University of Iowa's Small Business Development Center. Provide up to 50% of the cost of tuition of a training program at Kirkwood Community College or other appropriate training center. This assistance is only available to a small business owner whose gross family income falls below 80% of median for Iowa City, and who has a proven need for the training. Provide Small Business Assistance Loans to owners of small businesses with five or less employees who participate in Community Development or Housing Rehabilitation projects. The maximum amount of the loan is $1,000 at 0% interest for one year. The owner's personal gross income may not exceed 80% of the median for Iowa City. Allowable expenses covered by the loan are cost of materials for a CD or Rehab project, tools, when needed to complete a CD or Rehab project, and insurance premiums when the amount carded by the contractor is insufficient for a City project. Other items will be considered on a case by case basis. _Other Assistance Present an annual workshop on a topic relevant to the construction industry. The workshop is presented the last week of February at a local restaurant, and a soup and sandwich dinner is provided to the participants. Contractors are encouraged to bring their employees so that they too can gain an understanding of the City programs. The 1996 program will emphasize jobsite safety with two guest speakers, Jim Gulland, Safety Training Specialist with the City of Iowa City, and Butch Forbes of MidAmerican Energy Co. APPENDIX A Con't Upon request and if staff time permits, co-sponsor a second workshop with another organizstlon, sum as the University of iowa Small Business Development Center, to ~ the development and expansion of other small businesses. 100 M,~gllower Hall #308B Iowa City, IA 52242 September 14, 1997 Iowa City City Council Civic Center Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Members of the Council: On Ttmrsday September 11, 1997, I was stopped by a police officer while riding my bike on the south sidewalk of Iowa Avenue, between Clinton Street and Dubuque Street. The officer asked for my identification, and immediately proceeded to write a $28.00 ticket for the violation. I was aware that bikes were not allowed in the Pedestrian Mall, but I did not realize that this rule also applied to several streets downtown. The officer was not concerned with the fact that I had no idea thai bikes were not allowed on this sidewalk. He seemed to be concerned only with writing tickets because he stopped another person while writing my ticket, and already had a handel of written tickets. He just informed me that there were signs all over, and that I needed to fide in the street. It is clearly much. more dangerous for a bicyclist to ride on a busy street such as Iowa Avenue than on the sidewalk, especially considering all the parking spaces h~ the middle of a street. It would be very easy for a car backing out of one of these spots to hit a bicycle. I believe the officer should have given a warning and informed me of the rules, instead of inunediately writing me a ticket and telling me to fide in the street. Later in the day I did some investigating of the area where I was stopped. I finally feared the small signs regarding biking on the sidewalks. Also, I took the time to do a few measurements. The average bike trail is approximately 6 feet wide. The sidewalk where I was stopped is a minimum of 20 feet wide for the entke block. There is definitely plenty of room for both bikes and pedestrians on the sidewalk. I am disgusted with this situation. It is no wonder that people in this community have minimal respect for the police when one considers how petty the officer was in this situation. Also, I am very surprised at the amount of this £me, especially when compared to that for parking and street storage tickets. According to a brochure obtained from the civic center on bicycling, "It is the policy of the City of Iowa City to encourage bicycling as a lcgithnate meaxts of transportation." However, a different point has been made very clear to me. It seems that instead of biking in the safest possible manner, the city would prefer me to drive into town so there can be more traffic congestion, more parldng problems, more pollution, and more noise. Sincere[v, Thomas Saele CITY OF HILLS Box 345 Hills, Iowa 52235 September 10, 1997 Mayor Naomi J. Novick and Council Members City of Iowa City 410 East Washington Street Iowa "~" ~ ~.2~w t ~zo Dear Mayor Novick and Council Members We have received notification of a public hearing scheduled for September 23, 1997 on the matter of the proposed annexation of Ryerson Woods by the City of Iowa City. As this annexation would require the City of Hills to de-annex a portion of property we felt it best to express our position prior to this hearing. The City of Hills' initial reaction to the proposed annexation focused on the affect the decision would have on Hills Bank and Trust Company. As the bank has held an active roll in our community for years we would not be in favor of any proposal which would have an adverse affect on its business. However, since the time Hills was first informed of the proposal we have had several discussions at our council meetings with many council persons expressing concern over the annexation proposal and generally the manner in which the City of Iowa City has approached Hills in the past. It was felt that recently Hills was forced to spend a part of its budget toward the repair of a culvert in which no obligatin for the city existed. We did i.',ay a portion of this rep~,ir as a compromise and so as to avoid additional attorney fees for Hills. While this may not have been significant to Iowa City it is to Hills. We do not deal with budgets in the millions and feel an obligation to monitor the spending of our taxpayer's money very closely. We feel we were put in a position that forced us to spend money that we should not have had to. Further, there was concern expressed over the fact that we received so little notice on the planned annexation. If this is, in fact, a part of the comprehensive plan as Ms. Franklin suggested it would seem that this information could have been shared with the City of Hills long ago. At a very minimum it could have been discussed at the time we were dealing with the culvert repair as they were in the same area. CITY OF HILLS Box 3~ Hiilo, iowa 52235 September 10, 1997 Page 2 Last, our main concern is the future comprehensive plan and the possible loss of revenue to Hills as a result of this plan. It is apparent, and Ms. Franldin did not deny, that the City of Iowa City is looking to annex other property in this area. As this is a part of o~ r~aits se~Mces this would result in a loss o~ revenue to tile ~ m,, u~sm~t that the City " .... town. For these reasons the City of Hills is no longer in favor of the proposed annexation by the City of Iowa City. cc~ Robert Miklo Karin Franklin Robert Downer Sincerely, Cathy L. Fitzmaurice Mayor, City of Hills September 19, 1997 CITY OF I0 WA CITY Mayor Cathy L. Fitzmaurice City of Hills PO Box 345 Hills, IA 52235 Dear Mayor Fitzmaurice: When Iowa City's staff discussed the annexation of Ryerson's Woods with the City Council, we viewed this as a non-controversial issue. We expressed similar concerns to yours about an adverse effect on Hills Bank and Trust. We did not want to hurt a business that had been a good corporate citizen to both our communities. The plan as proposed would not have impacted the bank's ability to do business in both cities. We did not consider any annexation of properties north of Ryerson's Woods. These properties are in our potential growth area because we will be able to provide sewer service in the future. It is our policy to provide this service only to property in Iowa City, and it is our policy to annex property only voluntarily. It is possible that in the future some of those property owners may request annexation to Iowa City, and we would consider them at that time. We understand that those properties would be removed from the Hills fire district if annexed to Iowa City some day, however this issue is not usually a factor in annexations discussions. We usually are discussing water lines, sewer lines, development proposals, etc. At the time we discussed the culvert, we had not considered the possibility of annexation of Ryerson's Woods. We are sorry for any misunderstanding or ill-feeling this may have caused. Based on objections from Hills and Johnson County, we will drop the annexation of Ryerson's Woods at this time.

Unless directed otherwise by the City Council, this action will occur on or shortly after September 26, 1997. Action Pursuant to Section 9-1-3A(17) of the City Code, four (4) parking meters will be installed on the west side of the 10 block of North Clinton Street replacing the existing loading zone south of Jefferson Street. Comment This action is being taken to provide the maximum number of downtown parallel parking spaces. The existing loading zone is not regularly used for its designated purpose, and available parking will be reduced due to University of Iowa construction projects in the area. The spaces will have two-hour limits and will be meters CL147, CL149, CL151, and CL153. These spaces were previously metered before becoming a loading zone. jw/mem/dr-c[int.doc City of iowa City EIt IOFIA DLI Date: To: From: Re: September 11, 1997 City Clerk Doug Ripley, JCCOG Traffic Engineering Planner ~ Lane Designation for Southbound North Dubuque Street Traffic at Jefferson Street Intersection As directed by Title 9, Chapter 1, Section 3B of the City Code, this is to advise the City Council of the following action.

Linn As directed by Title 9, Chapter 1, Section 3B of the City Code, this is to advise the City Council of the following action. Unless directed otherwise by the City Council, this action will occur on or shortly after September 30, 1997. Action Pursuant to Section 9-1-3(A)17 of the City Code, eight (8) parking meters on 300 block of S. Linn Street will be changed from 30 minute time limits to 2-hour time limits. Comment This action is being taken to maximize the usefulness of these spaces. Currently with 30 minute time limits these spaces are not being utilized as intentioned because of the need for longer-term parking. By providing 2-hour time limits on these spaces, the downtown visitor can more easily use the spaces while not encouraging long-term parking. This action will affect meters numbered: L31, L33, L35, L41, L43, L45, L47, and L51.

In order to have timely input into the City Council's planning process, I have decided to draft this letter on behalf of a group of individuals rather than asking our congregation's Board of Directors to make some official statement at this time regarding plans that are still in the development stage. It is my understanding that the City Council will meet September 23 and October 7, and that on October 6 the consultants who have been draffing the streetscape proposal will provide a detailed project plan along with preliminary cost estimates including types of lighting, seating, trees, and sidewalk and street materials. It seems that now is the time to speak. The following comments, information, and suggestions are provided in a spirit of openness to differing points of view. We hope that the democratic process will result in the City taking efficient actions which will enhance the diversity and quality of life for in.dividuals and institutions in downtown Iowa City. Peace and Grace, d~. John W. McKinstry, Pastor /~ Comments, Information, and Suggestions from some people at First Christian Church Downtown congregations have been in a position to enrich and to benefit from the cultural life and diversity of downtown Iowa City. Many of our congregations have been located downtown for 125 years or more, and have chosen to stay downtown because of the unique opportunities for service, witness, and diversity which this location has offered. The original planners of Iowa City platted First Christian's location on Iowa Avenue as a church site, and we hope that the present City Council shares the view that religious organizations have a very special place in the City. First Christian Church has been involved in a long-range planning process for over one and a half years. A part of this process has focused on the lack of parking and whether we should remain a downtown church; the City Counci!'s decision will have an impact on the decisions First Christian Church makes. Downtown congregations have seven-days-a-week facilities and already experience seven- days-a-week parking difficulties. In a recent week First Christian held church meetings every night of the week, including a Wednesday evening K-12 program from 4:00-9:00 that involves more than 100 persons. Every day we host the Mother-To-Mother program, an inter-religious women's support organization sponsored by the Consultation ofl~eligious Communities of Johnson County. In addition to church meetings, we have hosted such groups as the Iowa Coalition for the Homeless, AI-Anon, Overeater's Anonymous, Johnson County Board of Social Welfare, Separated/Widowed/Divorced Group, weight-loss group, International Students, and others in the past month. This broad usage of a congregation's facilities is common to downtown congregations. Even with Sunday-only parking in loading zones and specially-marked portions of Dubuque, Gilbert, and Jefferson Streets, parking near downtown congregations' facilities is already fully utilized between 10:00-1:00 on Sundays. Extending parking on North Dubuque Street to seven days each week does nothing to replace parking spaces lost under the current proposal during Sunday's peak worship time. Downtown congregations benefit very little from "walk-in business" from people who are downtown for other primary reasons; when people drive downtown and park their vehicles to participate in congregational activities, these activities are their primary reason for being downtown, though they may also visit a restaurant, bookstore, etc. while they are here. To congregations who are already experiencing constant disadvantages as a result of parking difficulties, any loss of nearby parking is not seen as justifiable when the immediate gains are sidewalk restaurant(s) and aesthetic appeal. People who are already deeply committed to the life of a congregation will go to extraordinary lengths to reach a congregation's facilities, but necessarily constant renewal of congregations comes through persons who are not initially deeply committed to that congregation. A few "rules of thumb" for church parking found in a popular interdenominational journal are as follows: 1. One parking space controlled by the congregation is needed for every two worshippers at the largest worship service. 2. If the door of the building can be seen from a parking space, people will enter the building if it is within 100 yards of the door. If the door cannot be seen, the distance is reduced to approximately 30 yards. 3. No matter how hard it is for us to understand, people born after 1947 are very unlikely to park and then walk three blocks to worship; they will simply go somewhere else. (Net Results, December, 1996, pp. 7-9.) After careful analysis of the proposed plan for the Iowa Avenue streetscape, many of us recommend that the Council reverse the order of the streetscape plan's implementation. Building a parking ramp on the south side of the 300 block of Iowa Avenue. firs.~ would make it possible for the City to proceed with streetscape improvements while avoiding piecemeal changes, timed-loading, loss of parking Spaces, narrowed lanes of travel, and a host of other problems associated with the plan which is currently being proposed. We request that the other proposed changes in the Iowa Avenue streetscape be postponed until such a parking ramp is completed. The following is a commentary on some of the more technical aspects of the plan currently being proposed: 1. Timed Loading has some far-reaching implications. The Iowa Avenue Streetscape design, as explained to us, is based on the assumption of timed-loading. We suggest that the Council make its determination relating to timed loading prior to a lot more design work being done, since this is an integral part of the design concept. If the council wishes to adopt timed loading, we suggest that it apply not just to Iowa Avenue but to all of downtown. We doubt if the businesses in Iowa City will find timed loading a practical alternative, however, we respect the Council's right to make this decision. We only suggest that now is the time for you to address this issue. There are several categories of parking spaces that need to be taken into account. We would like to call it to the Council's attention that there is a difference between the number of parking spaces available during the regular business day and the number available during the evening when the loading zones are used for parking. There also is a different number of parking spaces available on Sunday morning when parking is allowed on both sides of Dubuque, Jefferson, and Gilbe~ Streets. Our study shows the following spaces now available. (See attached sheet.) We believe that when you examine the proposed design, using the three types of parking spaces, you will discover that the loss is far more than the "13" mentioned. We suggest that the Council needs to make a conscious decision concerning how this or any project affects the religious institutions as well as the downtown businesses. Religious institutions need parking throughout the week as well as on Sunday for their activities and for numerous community group meetings. It has been suggested that if the plan is implemented, some of the parking spaces lost on Iowa Avenue would be replaced by adding parking elsewhere. We question whether this replacement parking would be close enough to the spaces lost to provide any practical benefit. We also expect that closing or narrowing traveled lanes in order to add parking would create new traffic flow problems. 3. Are sewer improvements driving the timing of the proposed streetscape alterations? It was reported to you that the tentative time schedule for Iowa Avenue Streetscape alterations has been developed to coincide with. sewer improvements. If this is to fit together, the plan for Iowa Avenue streetscape needs approval of the final design concept by January. We inquired as to the plans for the Iowa Avenue sewer project, since as a church we would hope that any sewer project would consider locating the sewers on Iowa Avenue lower than they are at present. Much to our surprise, we discovered that there is no Iowa Avenue sewer project planned. The Public Works department does plan to make minor repairs when the streets are torn up for the Streetscape project. We feel there is a real need to address the sewer problems of Iowa Avenue through the 400 block which houses the Iowa Historical Society. The depth, age and construction type of the sewers need to be addressed. The utility corridor, we feel, is a very good concept, but question why it is limited to the 100 block. Piecemeal implementation could cause higher costs and greater disruptions of downtown activities. As we review phase one and phase two of this project, we notice that in the 200 block, much of the work done in phase one would need to be replaced in phase two. This seems to us to be unwise. It should be noted that First Christian constructed our new building at street level in 1968. It has been suggested that the sidewalk will be raised because the present grade is below the entrances to the buildings. There are currently business entrances which are at grade level as well as above and below grade. We feel certain that downtown congregations favor greater accessibility of downtown businesses, and though churches are not subject to A.D.A. compliance, many of us have voluntarily made substantial improvements in accessibility of our facilities.

I've got it. Time to break out of the old outlook and focus on a larger, more rigorous vision of access. When I talk about the old outlook I'm referring to an outlook rooted in idealism. Idealism and inexperience. Years ago, when I was first starting out as director, 1 thought the most important thing was protecting people's rights to speak their minds. What this meant to me was a very hands-off approach to the business of television. Provide a nice place for people to make television but don't interfere. Sit in the back of the library with fingers crossed, hoping someone doesn't violate the sensibilities of the community. I thought that en- ergy was metered out, like the funding, and helping people a) could be misinterpreted as show- ing favoritism, because we certainly couldn't help everyone[ or b) wasn't allowing people the chance to do everything themselves, especially learn from their mistakes. Times they are a-changin'. As I've grown with this access center I've learned that helping to protect people's rights doesn't preclude educating, informing, advising, exploring and some- times even getting right in there and helping out. In fact, if this access center is going to con- tinue to exist, I and the staff are going to have to take a much more proactive approach to the business of making and viewing television. This doesn't mean commandeering all the equip- ment and facilities and making things our way. This means being more interactive with people interested in the business of communicating. Because, after all, people are paying for public access. They should look at access as an investment in the well-being of the community. A community that asks for more than seventy-five channels beamed down from Ted Turner World Satellite Systems. A community with a communications system that is participatory, that re- flects the diversity of the citizens, that people take pride in. It's a two-way street though. It takes interest and input from the citizens themselves to gener- ate the kinds of services that will be meaningful to this community. We here at public access want to do what we can to make our communications center a model for other communities. Let us know how we can better serve you. We're standing by, itching to help.

Volunteers had just finished producing a live weekly call- in show on community affairs, and when I arrived they had already taken down the black backdrop and packed up the cameras, microphones and cables that had converted the library's meeting room into a makeshift studio. I marveled at the Compact and orderly control room, with its editing system, switcher, and portable equipment available for use by community producers, as the playback deck sent a video tour of a Hoover £ibrary exhibit out over the cable system's one access channel. What impressed me most, though, was the enthusiastic corps of volunteers who make community access work in West Branch, and the time, energ~ and commitment evident on the producer sign-up board. In addition to producing the Sunday call-in show, volunteers tape city Council meetings, other city commission meetings, and many Other events in their small but active community. The cable Commission itself administers the $6, ooo~plus budget for access, and a Commission member devotes his own time to COordinating volunteer activities and equipment use. Suddenly I felt I had more insight into PATV's own past, for before there was a PAT'v' there was Public access in Iowa City and Coralville, and it too centered around a small corps of volunteer community producers. Iowa City-Coralville is not West Branch, though, and the path followed by access here is vastly different than our neighboring community is likely ever to West Branch has one follow. Whereas undifferentiated access channel serving the needs of public, educational, and government entities, we have five channels, each administered and programmed by a distinct access organization. Whereas access in West Branch is an all- volunteer effort, here each access organization has a paid staff of professionals to carry out its mission. Comparing how access works in different communities inevitably calls to mind questions about the nature and purpose of cable access ~enerally, and public access in particular.
