A. HOME Investment Partnership\Consolidated Plan
The City of Iowa City allocates HOME funds under the direction of the Consolidated
Plan. Nonprofit organizations, for-profits and the apply for HOME funds in January
of each year. HOME funds are awarded competitively by a citizen commission and
then approved by the City Council. The objectives of the HOME and CDBG
programs, relating to housing, are contained in the Consolidated Plan. These
housing activities range from the expansion of housing stock to administration.
The projects described within this report are those that were active during the City's
1997fiscalyear(July 1, 1996to June30, 1997). In FY97 the HOME program
allocated funding to six activities totaling 8562,000. In addition, the City
administered projects funded in previous years.
Expansion of the affordable housing stock
The local housing authority (Iowa City Housing Authority --
ICHA), using FY95 HOME funds, has set up a Tenant Based
Rent Assistance (TBRA) program to assist 20 households that
are below 50% of the area median income. This assistance
will last for up to 24 months. In FY97, 880,147 was
expended for TBRA.
For FY97, the ICHA was awarded another 885,510 for
another TBRA program. Due to staff changes this program
has not yet began to expend these funds. This project will be
set-up by September, 1997.
The First National Bank ir~ Iowa City was allocated 880,000 in
FY96 HOME funds for a Downpayment Assistance Program for
manufactured housing. This funding will assist a minimum of
32 households and leverage as much as 81,000,000 in
private financing.
In FY97, 85,000 was expended for downpayment assistance
to help low income households purchase manufactured
housing. The bank is continuing to advertise the program.
Saratoga Springs is a limited partnership between a for-profit
developer and a non-profit CHDO. 8100,000 in HOME funds
and 8100,000 in CDBG funds were awarded to this project in
FY96 for land acquisition and soft costs. In addition, this
City of Iowa City, Iowa
HOME Annual Performance Report
7/1/96 to 6/30/97
A. HOME Investment Partnership\Consolidated Plan Continued
project will leverage 9399,984 in State HOME funds, 948,000
in other State funds, and 9423,000 in private financing. In
FY96, Saratoga Springs spent 9100,000 in CDBG and
960,000 in local HOME funds to purchase land.
In FY97, the Saratoga Springs project began construction on
the 16 units of affordable rental housing and has expended
9109,941 in local and State HOME funds. The project is
scheduled for completion in December, 1997.
Do
The City of Iowa City, citing a need for more transitional
housing, had been allocated 9100,000 for use in developing a
Single Room Occupancy (SRO) project. No funds were
expended in FY96.
Midway through FY97 the City was contacted by a local for-
profit (D & K Properties L.L.C.) that is involved with the
provision of rental units to single persons. Working with D & K
Properties, the City was able to assist them with the purchase
of a 21 unit rooming house (a former fraternity) at 716 North
Dubuque Street.
The City provided D & K Properties with a 9100,O00 HOME
grant and an 985,000 low interest loan. In return, the 21 unit
rooming house will be rented at or below fair market rent levels
to persons who are homeless or in need of transitional housing.
D & K Properties, working with one of the local emergency
shelters, will be providing supportive services to the residents
of this SRO.
Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (GICHF), a CHDO, was
allocated 9107,400 in HOME funds for the purchase of vacant
lots to be used for a homeownership program. The land that is
acquired with HOME funds will be placed in a long-term land
lease. By leasing the land to the homeowner, at a low rate,
the program will enable the CHDO to sell the homes at a lower
cost.

A. HOME Investment Partnership\Consolidated Plan Continued
In FY97, GICHF purchased two lots in the southeastern part of
Iowa City for 848,000. The project is currently being designed
and will be going out for bids in FY98. The CHDO also plans
on looking for more lots to purchase with the remaining HOME
funds.
Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship (GICHF), a CHDO, was
also allocated HOME funds to purchase and rehabilitate
existing units to be used in their affordable rental housing
program. 8171,490 in FY97 HOME funds and 825,000 in
CDBG funds were awarded to GICHF for the purchase and
rehab of 12 units. This project also leveraged 8256,902 in
State HOME funds, 860,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank
and private financing of approximately 8500,000.
In FY97, GICHF expended 8299,945 in local and State HOME
funds and 825,000 in CDBG funds for the acquisition of 8
units. Several of these units are rented and the others are in
various stages of rehab.
Rehabilitation
A.
of the affordable housing stock
The City of Iowa City has a Housing Rehab program that
serves lower income homeowners. The Rehab Program has
been awarded HOME funds in each fiscal year since 1995.
In FY97, the Rehab Program used HOME funds (FY95-FY97) to
undertake 11 comprehensive rehab projects. 8152,083
was expended in FY97 on these 11 projects. Several more
projects are in various stages of processing and will be started
in FY98. In addition, the City maintains a waiting list for its
housing rehabilitation programs and all applicants are taken
from this list.

B. Private Sector Participation
The private sector lenders in Iowa City have been receptive to
community development projects undertaken by nonprofits, for-profits
and the City. Nearly all of the projects described in Section A of this
report have some involvement by private sector lenders, developers or
landlords.
The majority of the support has been focused on the provision of
private capital to be used for permanent financing. 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

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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

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.

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.

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

For these reasons the City of Hills is no longer in favor of the proposed annexation
by the City of Iowa City.

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.
Sincerely,
Naomi J. Novick

Designation of Four (4) Metered Parallel Parking Spaces on the 10 Block of North
Clinton St.
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 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.

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

RE:
Iowa City City Councilors and Downtown Congregation Clergy
Pastor Iohn McKinstry on behalf of concerned people from First Christian Church
Plans for the Iowa Avenue Streetscape
Dear Councilors and Clergy,
A Sunday School class and some concerned leaders of First Christian Church have been meeting
and discussing the proposed Iowa Avenue Streetscape plans. 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.

The seven year itch. 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.

FROi t THE CHAIR
Derek Maurer
Some months ago I had the opportunity to glimpse the
roots of public access when I visited West Braneh's
COmmunity access facilities in the public library there.
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. Federal legislation in
I972 gave cities the right to require cable companies to provide
funding and channel capacity for public, education, and government
