Sister City
The Mayor of Essentuky, Vasiliy P. Bondarev, was in Iowa City 'a few weeks ago
and met with Ernie Lehman, Dean Thomberry, and me. He also met with the
Chamber of Commerce, Kirkwood Community College, and others. Based on
this visit, he has asked Iowa City for a Sister City relationship.
Jean Lloyd-Jones, who has been involved in the Sister State relationship
between Iowa and Stavrop01 Krei in Russia, has given me his request and some
information on Sister City relationships. If we want to do this, we would send a
letter of interest to Mayor Bondarev, pass a formal resolution, set up a non-profit
organization, pay dues, etc. A membership for a city our size would be
approximately $480.
I am enclosing some basic information, and there is more on file with Lisa if you
would like to read more.

INTRODUCTION
"Thinking globally is no longer a prescr~otion for the future, but a necessity in today's
world~ Nearly everythigtg--information, communication, markets, production, capital,
and human survival issues- has become globalized~ " Richard H. Stanley, President. The
Stanley Foundation. Osth Strategy For Peac~ ~l.S. Fore~,n Polly conference, 1994)
The Sister City people-to-peopl~ concept is based on the value of parmership. From this
point of view, one of our most important roles is promoting an informed understanding,
appreciation and respect, and increased communication with another culture and people.
Through this program we soon recognize how often our preconceived ideas of what a
culture is, what people in that culture think and how they live is changed through
personal contact. Our failure to understand the local situation, the' capacities and
concerns of another culture and society, often stands in the way of enhancing the
possibilities for personal friendships and a sense of global community.
"What has been needed and is still needed is support for people capable of a new way of
thinking and acting, people who are truly devoted to the idea of cultural reformation and
social and political development. We need investment in projects that strengthen ethics,
morals, respect for the individual and the right to personal property," writes Valery
Lobko, Director of the Department of New Information Technologies at the International
School of Journalism in Minsk. He continues, "What is needed from the West is moral
support, the transfer of experience and efforts to influence the government to support
communications and partnership programs." "A good partner should be a mentor, an
inspiration, a colleague who shares his or her expemse and helps to obtain and manage
°
financial support Lobko concludes, "Joint ro ects that are of value for ' - '
· ' P ~j ooth sides can
inspire the exchange of ideas and resources and make progress toward a common goal of
sustainable development." (S~r~i~s Tos~'~cr, Vfat~r, ~S~
As we learn to understand society as a "living system, composed of many living
communities" we come to care for and nurture one another in various ways.
Recormecting people to one another and discovering our shared values and principles
becomes the basis for a new and vigorous world "neighborhood.". In the long run, this is
what our Sister City Program is about at the grass roots level, people working together,
trusting each other, committed to common causes for the well-being of all.
We invite you to join in this wonderful and challenging adventure. Experience a new
sense of community solidarity, well-being, social responsibility and civic duty through
this global outreach.
The following pages provide information practical helps and procedures for creating and
sustaining a sister city program in your community.
WHAT IS SISTER CITY?
When an American Commt~ity of whatever size or character joins with a community in another nation
to learn more about the other and to develop friendly and meaningful exchanges, the two may propose a
formal affiliation. The ideal affiliation involves a large number of citizens and organizations in both
communities engaged in continuing projects of mutual interest.
This interchange helps t~ further international understanding at all levels of the community on a
continuing long-term basis. Within the program, cities and theft citizens exchange people, ideas and
cultu~ in a variety of education, institutional, municipal professional, technical and youth projects.
The Sister City program as a national concept was launched at the White House in 1956 when President
Dwight D. Eisenhower called for massive exchanges between Americans and the peoples of other lands.
Sister City is a part of the People-To-People program created at that time.
WHY HAVE A SISTER CITY?
A Sister City program helps the ci~ms of both communities become directly involved in international
relations in unique and rewarding exchanges which benefit everyone. It enables all who participate to:
1. Exchnng~ ideas and develop friend.~hip with their counterparts in another culture on a direct
2. Establish an identity as members of the human family involved in a constructive process of
building world peace.
3. Develop ways for the ma~y and diverse elements of each community to come together to
enjoy and profit from a co-operative program.
4. Open new dialogues with the people of another culture to find unique solutions to improving
the quality of life.
5. Participate in a program with a real parmer in another country so all members of the
community can feel they are conUibuting to international understanding in a direct personal
way.
6. Better understand their own community by interpreting their way of life to the people of
another culture.
WHAT ARE GENERAL AIMS OF SISTER CITY INTERNATIONAL CITIES?
Becoming a member of Sister City International means becoming paxt of an organiTation promoting
education, friendly relations and mutual understanding between people of each sister city. Programs and
projects would need to be developed out of mutual desires and interests of the sister cities. The primary
aim will "allow each person to individually become a part of a person-to-person, organization-to-
organization, city-to-city approach to international diplomacy." Above all, the Sister City program is a
two-way give and take which is shared by both communities through planned and continuous contact.
It is important to have the approval of the mayor and council, or chief elected officials and the
committee leadership joinfly participate by visiting the potential parmer or hosting a visit from the
potential parmer's visiting officials.
Belonging to Sister City hernational has a cost factor. The annual membership fee varies with the size
of the community. Belonging to Sister City ~l~temational cames certain benefits. A community may
affiliate with more than one city in a foreign country. For more information about the cost, benefits and
affiliation process contact: Sister City International

The basic start-up expenses are only paid out once. There is a minimal one-time incorporation fee as a
not-for-profit group which has many advantages, one of which is a tax exempt status for contributors.
Other expenses include routine ad~ini.~tive expenses needed for the basic operation of the program.
The annual budget could include both cash and in-kind services which could be identified. The value of
the in-kind service should be counted as legitimate income for the budget.
Expenses for trips to the sister city are not included in the annual budget. Participants pay their own
way! Special types of exchanges may call for fund raising activity, however, this will be supported
wholly or in part based on the decision of the local $CI org~ni~tion.
SISTER CITIES IN IOWA WITH THE STAVROPOL KRAI, RUSSIA CONNECTION
There are presently (2/96) 9 cities in Iowa-with sister cities in the Stavropol Region of Russia.
Marnh~lltown - Buddenovsk Muscatine - Kislovodsk
Algona- Novopavlovsk Dubuque- Piatigorsk
Des Moines - Stavropol (city) Grinnell - Zheleznovodsk
Osage - Lermontov Iowa Falls - Georgievsk
Mason City- Mineralyne Vody
In addition, the following cities in Iowa have sister cities in other areas of the New Independent States
(the Former Soviet Union)
Council Bluffs - Tobolsk, Russia Oskaloosa- Shpoia,Ukraine
Newton - $mellev, Ukraine
A total of 26 cities in Iowa have a sister city with 38 cities around the world, according to the 1996 report
of Sister City International. Five cities have more than one sister city. According to this 1996 report
there is a total of 1,088 United States cities affiliated with 1,770 cities around the world in 122 countries.
WHO MAY PARTICIPATE IN THE SISTER CITY PROGRAM?
All members of the community are invited to become involved in this sister city program. Nearly
everyone has a hobby, goes to school, belongs to a service or professional group, works in a business or
industry, volunteers time in any number of local orgsniT~tions which can be linked to counterparts in
another country. When these linking of skills, crafts and interests of people and organi:,~tions happen in
both cities there are new avenues and opportunities for interaction.
· . 3
HOW IS SISTER CITIES INTERNATIONAL RELATED TO IOWA SISTER STATES?
/
There is no official relation.~hlp between the two organizations. Iowa Sister States is largely funded
through a State of Iowa appropriation. Iowa Sister States has signed official agreements with several
foreign governments to develop a closer relation.~hip for cultural and economic interests, developing
exchanges and promoting mutual programs which will benefit both parties. There may be "Sister Cities"
who do not choose to belong to Sist~.r City International but are closely allied with Iowa Sister States.
Most cities who have sister cities in the Stavropol Krai and are members of Sister City International also
choose to be a part of the Iowa-Stavropol Division of Iowa Sister States. This affiliation gives these
cities an opportunity to work with Iowa Sister States in promoting closer co-operation of plans and
programs of the Iowa Sister States and to support one another in as many ways as possible. The lini~ge
provides a channel for shining information, mutual projects which both Sister City International and Iowa
Sister States support. At present there is no fee for a relationship with Iowa Sister States.
It should be clear, however, that the local sister city organization is free to establish its own programs,
protocols and mutual projects as time, energy and interest permits.

STAVROPOL KRAI - GENERAL INFORMATION
The Stavropol Territory (Krai), as a unit of the Russian Federation, was organized in February, 1924. the
territory is situated in the central part of the North Caucasus Mountains.. The area is 66.2 thousand
square kilometers and is subdivided into four' natural-climatic zones from semi-deserts (in the north-east
direction) to foothills of the mountains (in the south-west direction).
The population of the Krai is about 2,600,000 people, including 54% in large urban communities and
40% in rural and small communities. Stavropol is the adminisUafive center of Stavropol Territory (Krai)
with a population of 330,000 inh~itants. Stawopol Krai includes 26 administrative districts, 16 cities,
the largest of them are Stavropol, Nevinomyssk, Buddinovsk, Nefiekumsk, Georgievsk, Mineralyne

occupies the classic border between Europe and Asia, Black and Caspian Sea and between the hills and
steppes.
The territory is rich in minerals, gas, off, ores, building stone thermal and medicinal mineral waters.
Farming is the main economic resource of the territory. The crops are essentially the same as Iowa,
however, they also grow a good crop of winter wheat, sunflowers, sugar beets, potatoes and vegetables.
There is a great potential for industry in the area as well as growth in the infrastructure and
communications network. The main airports to the area are located in Mineralyne Vody and $tavropol.
STEPS IN BUILDING A SISTER CITIES PROGRAM
The key to a successfid Sister City Program is broad local support. This comes from strong
participation of community organizatio~ and institutions.
It is suggested the Mayor and City Council take initial action to support the Sister City program. If
they are willing, encourage them to include the aunual membership fee to Sister City Interaafiollal
in their budget (cost varies witl~ size of city).
Form a committee to include broadest representation of the community.
a. Appoint cha/rperson who is knowledgeable and active in local affairs.
b. Become informed about the Sister City Program.
c. Determine tentative goals, objectives and activities.
GOAL: What do we want from the program?
OBJI~CTIVE: Where do we want to go with the program?
ACTIVITIES: How will we achieve the goal and objective?
Legalize status of the org~niTatlon
Choose type ofmganizafion: private, non-profit is preferable
Develop organization structure
a. Officers (Mayor as honorary dudr)
b. Board of Directors: Representatives from each affdiation, City Hall L'mison,
at large representation, youth, etc..
c. Select and organize committees: Constitution, Membership, Pwgram, Budget, etc.
Establi.~h a bas/c budget
a. Basic start-up and ~mnual expenses
b. Includes cash on hand and donated in-kind services
Recruit volunteers
Invite the town you wish to have as a sister city to become your sister city.
a. Send a letter from the Mayor to invite the c/ty to become your parmer city (Sister City).
Ask them to respond and indicate if they are interested, what they would look for in a
relationship and other suggestions they might have to bring into the partnership.
b. Include City Council resolution supporting the proposed ~o~
c. hclude your proposed goals, proposed activities for the program and ask proposed sister city to
do the same.
At some point an invitation for community leaders from your new sister city to visit your community
should be sent to expedite the process. In return, a delegation will be invited to visit your sister city
and at that point the two communities should be ready to sign the sister city agreement.
a.' The agreement spells out your understanding of the relationship.
b. The conditions for travel, hospitality and other items should be clear between the sister cities.
c. Protocols for muttud projects should be established on a regular basis.

CITY MIINII ER'S OFFICE
Dear Mayor Novick,
The Arc of Johnson County has been a vital part of the Iowa City community for 40 years, providing
services and advocacy for people with disabilities and their families. Over this time, Arc members have
contributed many things to the Iowa City area, founding special education, Goodyill Industries, and
Systems Unlimited, just to name a few. Iowa City has long been known as a community that values and
respects all indivi&,~ls, including peoplewith disabilities. Given all of this history, the recent controversy
over board appointments and persons with disabilities probab~ should not have happened. Perhaps we
here at the Arc have not done our jobs well enough. Our mission statement is as follows:
The Arc of Johnson Coun.ty is committed to being a leader in offering information, services, and
advocacy to individuals with developmental disabilities, their families, and community; to promote
informed choices and the realization of their goals relating to where and how they learn, live, work, and
play.
As our mission statement points ouL the Arc is a resource for the community. We are here to educate and
inform anyone in the area regarding persons with disabilities. With that in mind, I would like to offer our
assistance to the City Council. ff there is ever any information you need, please feel free to contact me at
351-5017.
Sincerely,
Rod Sullivan

Dear Mr. Abuissa:
The City of Iowa City has been approached by Brian Fritz to support his application to the Iowa
Department of Transportation for placement of an aluminum sculpture on the spiral bridge at the
intersection of Highway 6 (Riverside Ddve) and Iowa Avenue. We have viewed Mr. Fritz's
sculpture and have read the letter from Mr. Barry of the University of Iowa regarding the
adequacy of the mountings for wind load conditions in this area. From observing the sculpture
and reading Mr. Barry's comments, we feel confident that the sculpture can be placed on the
spiral bridge securely.
We believe Mr. Fritz's sculpture will be a very positive addition to the Riverside Drive corridor
and encourage IDOT to approve Mr. Fritz's application.

Soccer Field Irrigation System
In September, the City Wastewater crews completed construction of an irrigation system for the
new soccer complex near the south wastewater treatment plant. The purpose of this irrigation
system was to use the treated wastewater from the south plant to provide water for the soccer
complex.
This past summer was somewhat drier than in recent years, and the. grass needed to be
reseeded several times at the soccer complex. The Parks and Recreation Department started
out using an automatic irrigation reel and quickly needed to purchase another such reel to keep
up with the area that needed to be covered. The new irrigation system from the Wastewater
Treatment plant has been designed to minimize much of that work.
Some of the basic equipment purchased was from a small town water supply. After a review,
this equipment was found to be acceptable to support the installation of the new plumbing,
irrigation system, controls, etc.
Presently there are 19.25 acres of 'planted turf grass for soccer field use. This past October,
about 3 million gallons of water were applied to the fields or the equivalent of 1.4 inches of rain
per acre. It is anticipated that the normal irrigation watering would require equivalent of I inch of
rain per acre per week or about 500,000 gallons per week.
The irrigation system can produce a maximum of 125,000 gallons per day. As additional
acreage is developed in the area, we will also consider how we can provide for more efficient
irrigation.
In evaluating the effectiveness of this reuse of wastewater effluent, we believe that we will save
over $20,000 per year compared to the use of the regular municipal water system. This
includes the cost of water as well as a depreciated value on our investment.
The Department of Parks and Recreation recently hired a new maintenance worker who has
significant experience as a turf specialist and will be able to advise us on the application to
minimize the level of sodium in the soil that can occur from the reuse of this wastewater
affluent. Excess sodium can inhibit growth of the grass.
The irrigation system has now been decommissioned for the season but, when the freezing
conditions have passed, we intend to utilize it again in the spring and thereafter.
Our departments of Public Works and Parks & Recreation, in particular the staff of the division
of Wastewater Treatment, are to be commended for this initiative and cost saving.

Re: Sale/Disposal of Paving Bricks
A large number of old paving bricks has been stockpiled at the landfill for over five years. They
have attracted much attention for two reasons:
1. They are very unsightly, having been dropped in dump truck loads, with dirt, concrete, and
asphalt mixed in. The piles have grown up in weeds and brush with-no effective way to
"mow" them.
2. Many people are anxious to do something productive with them feeling they could build their
own patios, etc., at a "bargain price."
Landfill personnel have checked the area stores to compare prices to similar materials. New
paving bricks will sell for 30¢ to 75¢ a piece, depending on the size and quality. We have been
told that good, clean, palletized, street pavers can bring 80¢ a piece in landscaping shops. The
City of Williamsburg sold off a pile of clean pavers recently for 10¢ each, to the public.
The bricks stockpiled at the landfiil would have to be considered low quality in their present
condition. Many are chipped, broken, and/or partly covered with asphalt. The Department
contacted commercial companies which might be interested in buying the "lot". No positive
interest was generated. Also our Streets Division does not feel the matedHal would be useful to
them.
We would like to see these old bricks moved without burying them in the landfill. Since the
public has expressed interest, we would like to make them available to the public.
We propose to sell the bricks by the pound so that manual counting of each load is not
necessary. Vehicles would need to be weighed before and after loading, as we do in normal
course of landfill business. One "whole" paver weighs approximately 8 pounds. We plan to start
the sale of the material at 4¢ per pound.
The pile contains between 200,000 and 300,000 bricks. The range potential if all of these are
moved, say 250,000 at 1¢ - 3¢ a pound, with 50% waste, is approximately $10,000 to $30,000.

Re: Update on waste shingle recycling project
The Iowa City landfill has completed the landfill permit amendment that will allow the landfill
to stockpile and process waste shingles on site. The landfill began accepting waste shingles
as of November 24 with all loads being testing for asbestos content. At this time, the landfill
has already accepted 74 loads of waste shingles. The actual grinding of the shingles will not
take place until next spring. A contract with a grinding company will be negotiated and a
schedule set up this winter. Use of the ground shingles will also be determined in the spring.
Some ideas that have been discussed include using ground shingles on gravel roadways in the
county, parking lots, and trails. I will continue to provide periodic reports.

Re: End of Year Review - HUD's Office of Community Planning and Development
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, through their Omaha, Nebraska
office, has completed a review of the City's housing and related CDBG programs. We have
received very favorable comments from HUD concerning our performance and in particular they
congratulated the City's accomplishments in 1996 and cited the following examples.
1. The rehabilitation of 40 single family units for low- and moderate-income households.
2. The small repair assistance to 48 eldedy and disabled households.
3. A downpayment assistance program assisted 15 first-time homebuyers in the community.
4. Economic development activities included expansion of the Heartland Candleworks and the
training of 34 persons on microenterprise development.
5. Public facilities funds were used for the completion of the Pheasant Ridge Neighborhood
Center, a facility that will be heavily utilized for youth activities, adult education, and child
care.
6. HOMEfunds are being used to construct 16 units of affordable rental housing, to complete
a 21 unit transitional housing project, to purchase vacant lots of residential redevelopment,
and to acquire and rehabilitate 19 residential units.
7. The City has completed the remaining work on public improvements under the CDBG Flood
Disaster Recovery funding. The close out report is anticipated in mid-December of 1997.
8. Iowa City administers a Section 8 program that includes 527 Section 8 Certificates with a
94% occupancy and 350 Section 8 Vouchers with occupancy of 98% for FY97.
9. Iowa City also has a public housing program that includes 107 units of family public housing
at a current occupancy rate of 98%. The most recent Public Housing Management
Assessment Program score was 100%. Fiscal year 1998 includes $61,604 for Performance
Funding. The Housing Authority has received $324,000 for this fiscal year for the
Comprehensive Improvement Assistance program. This was the highest award in the state.
10. Iowa City continues to be recognized as one of the highest performers in Iowa in the
continuum of care for the homeless. This continuum of care is recognized as being very
successful in coordinating services, providing supportive services, linking with economic
development, and including for-profit entities in solutions for the homeless.
11. The overall benefit to low- and moderate-income persons for the program year 1996 was
100 percent, which substantially exceeds the regulatory standard.
Our overall progress for 1996 as determined by HUD was very satisfactory.

Municipalities in Transition Project
You may recall that Iowa City was selected, with 26 other cities, to participate in a year-long
study by the National League of Cities. The study is called "Municipalities 'in Transition Project."
We have done extensive interviews and provided other documentation/information to the NLC
staff. On Friday, December 5 I participated in a roundtable discussion with representatives of
the cities selected. The meeting occurred at the National League of Cities' meeting in
Philadelphia. The survey work and other analysis work is just beginning; however, it does
appear that the intent will be the creation of a national urban policy statement. The initial
information from the cities involved was divergent given the nature/character of each of the
communities. That was expected and was the topic of our roundtable discussion.
All in all I believe it was a productive session. The NLC indicated that the Federal Department of
HUD also was interested and would be providing some funding for this project.

Re: Intersection of Melrose Avenue and Hawkins Drive
Attached are two memoranda from University officials detailing problems with traffic flow
through the intersection of Melrose Avenue and Hawkins Drive. We have received several
comments .about this intersection since it opened following the reconstruction of Melrose
Avenue. We understand the delay associated with westbound right turning vehicles, and have
emphasized to persons making comments that the design of this intersection was part of a
multi-year negotiated process between the Melrose Avenue Neighborhood Association, the City
of University Heights, the University of Iowa, and the City of Iowa City. The pavement markings
which establish the Melrose Avenue cross section were adopted by ordinance, and can only be
modified by a formal ordinance amendment by the City Council. This would include adding a
westbound right tum lane to the intersection.
The intersection of Melrose Avenue and Hawkins Drive is currently operating as it was designed
to function. When the cross section of Melrose Avenue was established we predicted it would
improve traffic flow somewhat, but that overall traffic capacity would continue to be constrained.
The addition of a westbound right turn lane would improve traffic flow through the intersection.
Mr. Gibson's statement that "...the plan was changed at the last minute before construction to
delete the right turn lane..." is not accurate. The intersection was constructed according to the
negotiated design. There was a temporary lane used to maintain traffic during construction that
was removed near the end of the project that may have led to some confusion about a right turn
lane being deleted. This was never a part of the permanent reconstruction project,
If you wish to add a westbound right turn lane, we will need to design the project and submit it
for review to the East Central Iowa Transportation Center of the Iowa Department of
Transportation. Iowa DOT retains review authority over this project because the use of federal
funds for the reconstruction of Melrose Avenue. It appears the dght tum lane could be
accommodated within the existing right-of-way between the current curb and sidewalk. The
shoulder pavement for bicycles and buses would be narrowed from seven feet to five feet to
maintain a minimum width bike lane through the intersection.
We would need to conduct a traffic study before designing the right turn lane, in order to
determine the correct dimensions. It is expected that we would have approximately a 160 foot
long right turn lane (capacity for 8 vehicles) and a 100 foot taper. The expense for a
reconstruction of this nature would be in the range of $60,000. This would require removal of the
recently planted trees for the length of the right turn lane and taper. Incidentally, we are
31'/
2
currently preparing a request for a design exception to allow the recently planted trees to
remain. We have been contacted by Iowa DOT and informed that the trees were not a part of
the roadway design which they approved and infringe on the clear zone reserved for vehicle
safety.
Questions have been asked as to whether the existing pavement can be restdped to
accommodate the additional right turn lane. It is highly unlikely this would be approved by Iowa
DOT, and is unadvisable for the following reasons:
Difficulty in navigating through the intersection. Restriping would require westbound
through traffic to change lanes in advance of the intersection, and require a diagonal
crossing of the intersection. Westbound motorists would be disrupted from the glare of
opposing motorists headlights which would be directly across the intersection. The State
Code prohibits lane changes within an intersection.
2. Melrose Place. A yielding left tuming vehicle into Melrose Place would shut down
westbound through traffic.
Design standards. The American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials
(AASHTO) design manual allows for flexibility in design standards in constricted areas.
However there should be sound engineering rationale for the design modifications, not
simply a desire to do things cheaply. AASHTO specifically allows modification to the
standard 12-foot wide travel lane, but a modification to less than 10-feet wide is not
recommended. Restdping existing pavement on Melrose Avenue to add a right turn lane
would result in 9-foot wide travel lanes. This is the lane width used at the major intersections
along Kirkwood Avenue, but it. only works because trucks are prohibited on Kirkwood
Avenue.
4. The bike/transit lane (shoulder) could not be maintained through the intersection consistent
with AASHTO design standards.
Pavement markings would not be sufficient to provide dear delineation to motorists through
the intersection. This is especially important when the intersection design defies motorist
expectations.
6. Vehicle speed, already.relatively slow, would be slowed further: This affects overall street
capacity.
Let us know how you would like us to proceed. If necessary, we can schedule this for a work
session discussion.

Chuck, I think the attached memo to me from Ken Davenport is self-explanatory. The only
thing I would add to it is that I understand that the plan was changed at the last minute
before construction to delete the right turn lane that would presumably have eliminated the
remaining problem. The University and UIHC were not aware of that action and in fact did
not become aware of the situation until the project. was completed.
Has the City staff revi6wed this situation and if so, what conclusion was reached? If not, is
there any plan for a review of performance of the intersection and whether or not the
intersection is performing to expectations? I think everyone regards the project as a very
successful one, with this one exception. It would be a shame to leave in place such a
disfunctional feature given the history and cost of the project.

Dick, as we have discussed, it is certainly nice to have the Melrose Avenue construction
complete. As nice as the construction looks, it has, in fact, not addressed one of the
initial congestion issues raised by the University/UIHC, which is the westbound traffic on
Melrose at the Hawkins Drive intersection. The University/UIHC's intent to provide a
right-hand turn lane to expedite movement at this intersection is not in the completed
project. I receive complaints at the same rate as prior to the construction regarding the
congestion, which can take up to five light changes to move through that intersection.
The traffic is backed up on to South Grand and slows access to surface lot #~5. Drivers
are anticipating the congestion while still coming up Burlington and make a right at the
Field House. They then turn west toward the Emergency Treatment Center and illegally
travel the wrong direction on the one-way street behind Colloton and Pappajohn
Pavilions to avoid delays.
It is requested that the University/UIHC develop a position to establish the right turn
lane and request the City of Iowa City to determine if the initial traffic consultant study of
congestion has improved following construction.

CITY OF I0 WA CITY
Dear Mr. Klaus:
This past fall, residents of the Goosetown neighborhood asked the City to review current traffic
conditions in the Goosetown neighborhood to determine if residential traffic calming is appropriate.
The neighborhood's pdmary concern was speeding and cut-through traffic from people trying to avoid
bottlenecks in our artedal street system. As you are aware, the City Council adopted a traffic calming
process with minimum criteria that must be met for consideration under the traffic calming program.
Specifically, traffic volume must be between 500 and 3,000 vehicles a day, and 85th percentlie speeds
must be more than 5 mph above the speed limit. The 85~ percentlie speed is considered the general
comfort level for drivers on a roadway.
I have completed traffic counts to determine the volume, speed, and classification characteristics of
the traffic using your neighborhood streets. A survey was conducted to determine which streets you
and your neighbors consider to be problems; I have conducted counts on both "problem" and "non-
problem" streets. Counters were located in the 900 blocks of Bloomington Street, Church Street, and
Davenport Street, as well as the 400 block of Reno Street. In each case, except Davenport Street, the
volumes exceeded the 500 vehicle pet day threshold. However, none of the counts had 85th percentlie
speeds that exceeded 29 mph. 30 mph is the minimum to be considered for the traffic calming
program.
Under the City Council's adopted criteria, none of the Goosetown neighborhood streets surveyed
qualify for the City's traffic calming program. I have attached a summary of the count results for your
information. We will continue to monitor traffic in your neighborhood to identify any changes. Similarly,
we are continually trying to improve our arterial street system to prevent vehicles from needing to cut
through on local residential streets. Please let. us know if you notice any changes to traffic flow in your
neighborhood which would lead us to re-evaluate the situation.
If you have any questions, please call me at 356-5254.

Traffic Counting Report
Goosetown Neighborhood
Iowa City, Iowa
CONDITIONS
A survey of vehicle traffic was conducted using
NuMetdcs Histar NC-90A traffic counters that were
placed in each of the travel lanes of the 900 blocks
of Bloomington, Davenport and Church Streets.
Counts were also taken in the 400 block of Reno
Street. The counts were conducted for 48
consecutive mid-week hours each in the months of
October and November. Data were recorded in
fifteen minute time intervals. Weather during these
counts was consistent with the time of year, cool in
the evenings, warming throughout the day.
VOLUME
The 900 block of Bloomington Street had an
Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of 1712. The 900
block of Church Street had an ADT of 799. 400
Reno Street showed an ADT of 850 while
Davenport Street had and ADT of only 442
vehicles. The graph below illustrates the average
daily traffic of the four streets.

SPEED
Speed is also measured by the NuMetrics traffic
counters. The posted speed limit for these
residential streets is 25 MPH. The 85th percentlie
speeds were recorded for each travel lane. The
85th percentlie speed is the speed at which 85
percent of the vehicles are traveling at or less than,
and considered the general comfort level speed of
most drivers. The bar graph below shows the 85th
percentlie speeds of each travel lane of the four
streets that were counted. None of the 85th

CLASSIFICATION
Vehicle lengths are also measured by the
NuMetrics counters. This gives us an idea of the
types of vehicles that are using the street. On
Davenport St., 95% of the vehicles were passenger
cars and 5% trucks. Reno Street showed a total
of 7% of the vehicles were trucks. Bloomington
Street had 6% trucks and 94% passenger cars and
Church Street also had 6% trucks and 94%
passenger cars. On residential streets in the Iowa
City area, truck percentages are usually between
5-10%. A truck is considered any vehicle longer
than 20 feet and includes delivery and service type
vehicles.

Dear Mr. Cruise:
As requested, representatives of Terracon Consultants, Inc. provided construction
observation and testing services at the above referenced project. These services were
provided during the majodty of the time the embankment was being constructed, and
generally consisted of observation and testing of the excavation of the native embankment
soils, testing and observaUon Of the new embankment fill and rock buttress placement
observation of the drainage fill and pipe placement, associated laboratory tesUng, and
engineering consultation. Subsurface conditions encountered during slope excavation were
in general agreement with conditions anticipated from our Geotechnical Engineering Report
(Job No. 06975048, dated July 30, 1997).
On October 9, 1997, excavation of the slope began from the upper most bench then
proceeding down the hillside. Excavation of each bench was completed prior to proceeding
down the hillside to the next bench..,~Our sewices included examination of the embankment
soils to verify fill or native characteristics. In some areas, the benches extended further into
the embankment since the existing native-fill 'scarp' was encountered dudng construction.
These areas were located toward the center and were repaired in accordance with our field
recommendations using IDOT 4121 crushed stone. The contractor with the assistance of
Van Winkle-Jacob Engineering, Inc., provided surveying of each bench location and
elevation.
Other observations that were perfon'ned during the course of this project included the
foundation bearing soils for portions of the keystone retaining wall, proofrolling the subgrade
soils ;)dor to backfill. geogdd placement, keystone block placement, and erosion control
methods.

Field density tests were performed using a nuclear density gauge on the clayey sand' fill
(Material B) behind the keystone retaining wall and the IDOT 4121 crushed limestone
(Material A) used as a drainage layer. Both fill materials were obtained from Klien Quarry
located west of Iowa City. Tabulated test results are attached to this report. The associated
moisture-density relationship curves for both materials are also attached to this report.
Placement of the IDOT 4130 Class D/E (rip rap) was visually observed for proper placement
and compaction, this material was obtained from Crawford Quarry located north of Iowa City.
Based on our site observations and test results, it is our professional opinion that the project
was completed in general conformance with the project plans and specifications provided by
Van Winkle-Jacob Engineers, Inc. and Termcon Consultants, Inc. We appreciated the
opportunity to assist the Cliffs Owners Association and the City of Iowa City in providing a

Partial Litigation Update
Ho13~3inc~ v. City of Iowa City. Collecje Block Partners and Bushnell's Turtle, Johnson
County Distdct Court Case No. 57032
As you know, this matter was tded before the Iowa Distdct Court on September 2-4, 1997, and
on October 30, 1997, the Court filed it Findings, Conclusions, Rulings and Judgments. The
Court concluded that the City was not liable for the icy condition which resulted in Mrs.
Hopping's fall and subsequent injudes as the ice formed from water ddpping off the parapet of
Bushnell's on a Sunday when it was not otherwise snowing or icing and City crews had no
notice of the condition or reason to be in the Plaza. The Court also found for the Plaintiffs, Mr.
and Mrs. Hopping, against Bushnell's in the amount of approximately $120,000. On November
26, 1997, Defendants College Block Partners and Bushnell's Turtle, Inc. filed a Notice of
Appeal from the Court's Findings,Conclusions and Judgment. On December 2, 1997, Plaintiffs
Steven and Judy Hopping filed a Cross-Appeal specifically challenging the Court's rulings
denying compensation to Judy Hopping for loss of sick leave and non-liability on the part of the
City of Iowa City. I just wanted to alert you that the City will continue to defend its position of
non-liability for the unnatural accumulations of ice within the pedestrian mall as litigated in this
matter as it moves forward on appeal.
Please call me if you have any questions.

MEMORANDUM
December 8, 1997
To: Steve Arkins, City Manager
From: Joe Fowler, Director Parking & Transit
Ron Logsden, Transit Manager
Reference: Downtom Shuttle
The first month of operation of the Downtown has been completed. Ridership to date has
exceeded our expectations. Ridership increased each week until the fourth when there
was a decline. This decline appeared to be directly related to the Thanksgiving holiday as
Monday ridership was high and each successive day showed a decrease.
Weekly ridership averages were: week 1 - 352, week 2 - 562, week 3 - 704, week 4 -
302. Ifridership continues at this level it will replace the lost Hawkeye ridership and there
should be no reduction in state and federal funding.
Ridership on the south route makes up 87% of the ridership total. Route schedules and
information were mailed last week to all members of the North Side Neighborhood
Association to insure they are aware of the service.
When the Shuttle was proposed we projected there would be no decrease in CBD parking
hours, but a change in the system users. At the end of one month of service there has been
no major change in the number of hours parked. Some Shuttle passengers have stated
they have chosen the Shuttle instead of driving, but we have no way to verify this. Citizen
input on the availability of on-street par .king will be the best measure of the system
success. We will conduct a ridership survey at the end of January asking how the
passengers would have traveled if the bus was not in service.
It is also too early to determine the effect of the Shuttle on the other fixed routes that
travel through the Shuttle service area. We had anticipated the Shuttle would eliminate
other routes stopping in this area. This would reduce travel time and improve our service
to the rest of the community.
It will be difficult to assess the success of the Shuttle until the second semester of
University of Iowa classes. Ridership continues to increase but appears to be impacted by
university operations. We anticipate a reduction in ridership over the upcoming holiday
season and during the semester break. We hope the reduced ridership at this time will
encourage new riders to try the system.

replacement cost is $80,000 and the steam cleaner. is $4,000. Additional funding was
requested for 3 medium duty buses but it was denied this year due to a shortage of
funding.

MEMORANDUM
December 8, 1997
To: Steve Atkins, City Manager
From: Joe Fowler, Director Parking & Transit
Reference: University of Iowa Student Pass
In August 1996 the City Council approved a joint program between the University of
Iowa and the City of Iowa City to sell student bus passes. The University verifies the
person's student status, collects the fees, and issues a single check payment to the City.
The City agrees to sell the pass at a reduced cost of $80.00 per semester.
The fall semester of 1996 was the first time these passes were offered. During that
semester 428 were sold. Second semester, spring 1997, 665 passes were sold.
There was some concern about the number of passes that would be sold in the fall of 1997
because of the loss of the Hawkeye route. 682 passes were sold for the fall semester.
This joint program continues to 'be successful.

Enclosed in Councirs packet is a customer service card I developed' for housing and building
inspections entitled "How Are We Doing?" The purpose of this card is to encourage customer
feedback about the quality of inspection services. These cards will be available at the permit
counter, and inspectors will hand them out during inspections. The card is designed with a
detachable postage-paid portion to encourage mailing in of comments. It also includes
telephone numbers for immediate assistance, and is slotted to allow inspectors to attach their
own business card. We intend to start distributing the customer service cards after the holidays.

Winter Weather Freezes Water Pipes & Meters
Please ensure your home is not damaged by extreme cold. The Iowa City Water Division wants you to enjoy a
stress free winter. Spend a few minutes following these suggestions and get prepared!
· If you plan to leave town, ask someone to check on your house while you're gone· Leave them with an
emergency phone number in case a repair is necessary. Don't set your thermostat below 55 degrees. Do not
shut the heat off to areas that contain plumbing, piping or fixtures. -
· Know where your shutoff valve is located in case a pipe breaks. Most home meters .are in the basement and the
shut off valve can be found between the wall and the meter.
· Disconnect and drain garden hoses and store them inside until next spdng.
· After removing the garden hose if there is an add-on vacuum breaker (beck flow preventor) check to see if the
black plastic insert has popped down, this will ensure that all water has drained from the device.
· Repair any cracks or holes around doors or windows to keep cold, winter winds from blowing in and freezing
pipes and meters.
· Wrap pipes in unheated areas with heat tape or cover thoroughly with pipe insulation. Newspaper or rags will
also work.
· Expose plumbing by opening cabinets or closet doors that contain pipes, especially those located on the north
side of the house. Protect the water meter from direct air drafts by shielding with cardboard. Natural heat from the
house will keep the plumbing warm.
· If plumbing does freeze, try to let it thaw naturally. Do not apply direct heat. Instead use an electric hair dryer or
other source of indirect heat to slowly thaw frozen pipes.
If your pipes or water meter freeze, there are different procedures you should take to make repairs. Frozen or
broken pipes will need to be repaired by a licensed plumber. If a meter is frozen the Iowa City Water Division
staff should be contacted to replace it with a new one. You will be billed for meter repairs after damage has been
assessed. If necessary, the water can also be turned off at the stop box to keep water from running through a
broken pipe. Call our Customer Service staff at the emergency number 356-5166 for assistance.
