Call Steve at 339-1804 March 25, 1998 CITY OF I0 WA CITY Iowa City City Council Members Re: Iowa River Corridor Trail--Burlington to Benton segment The Riverfront and Natural Areas Commission was greatly disappointed to learn that the City Council is considering dropping from this year's construction plans the proposed construction of the Iowa River Corridor Trail between Burlington and Benton Streets. We know that this has been a difficult stretch to complete for several reasons, but believe it is an integral piece of the Trail since it provides the only reasonable access along the Iowa River from the University campus on the southern portion of the Trail running to Napolean Park. We understand that it has been difficult to acquire property along the River on the west side between Myrtle and Benton Street. However, we believe it is urgent to move forward with this segment, consistent with the Iowa River Corridor Study Update, which calls for completion of this segment by the end of 1998. We unanimously support the request of the Parks & Recreation Commission to use their Parkland Acquisition funds to help acquire the necessary property. We also understand that the University will share the cost of construction of the Trail on University property from Burlington Street south to the Muffler Shop. They are awaiting implementation of the trail so that they can complete other projects in the area. If these sources of support are available, then all means should be pursued to achieve the goal of completing the Trail. On behalf of the Riverfront & Natural Areas Commission, I strongly urge you to reconsider this matter and decide to prioritize this project and implement construction of this segment as quickly as possible. Sincerely, cortn nie,sl Riverfront and Natural Areas Commission cc: Parks & Recreation Commission Itrs\tp3-1bn.doc 410 EAST WASHINGTON STREET · IOWA CITY, IOWA 52240-1826 · 319) 356-5000 · FAX (319) 356-5009 March 23, 1998 Dear City Council Members: I have a proposal which may solve the problems and controversy surrounding the First Avenue extension proposal yet accomplish the same goals. As I understand it, one of the main objectives of the First Avenue proposal is to facilitate travel between the northwest and southeast sides of Iowa City making it easier and quicker to reach all parts of the city. My proposal is to extend Scott Boulevard to Interstate 80 creating a new exit a on the interstate for Scott Boulevard. Presently, there is a gravel road which extends from Rochester almost to 1-80. Of course, Scott Boulevard south of Rochester is a two lane road which handles a great deal of traffic presently. I am assuming that it would be less expensive to pave and widen the northern portion of Scott Boulevard from Rochester to 1-80 which already exists, than it is to create an entire new road. Furthermore, this would alleviate any problems suggested in Hickory Hill park. Since the gravel portion of Scott Boulevard already exists and is surrounded by farmland, only a relatively small amount of land would have to be acquired affecting probably one or two farmers, rather than the First Avenue extension proposal affecting many residents' traffic through their neighborhoods and near the park. My family lives in Coralville, and I could see the Scott Boulevard extension reducing the travel time to businesses on the eastern side of Iowa City for people who live in Coralville, as well as benefiting the residents of the west side of Iowa City. More specifically to our family, It would cut down on the travel time to Regina where my children attend school including many trips to various school activities. Thank you for the consideration of my proposal. Sincerely, Paula Clancy Dr. and Mrs. Gerry Clasaey 1636 Oak Lake Park Road Coralville, Iowa 52241 March 30, 1998 Ms. Paula Clancy 1636 Oak Lake Park Road Coralville, IA 52241 CITY OF I0 rVA CITY Re: Your correspondence of March 23, 1998 Dear Ms. Clancy: Thank you for your letter of March 23, 1998. It has been our understanding that the U.S. Department of Transportation would not allow an additional interchange to the interstate highway system between Dodge Street and Hoover Highway because of their requirements on the spacing of interchanges. We have no jurisdiction over the interstate highway system; in fact we have been told that any modifications to the interstate system such as adding a new interchange would require Congressional approval. However, there is a process which can be undertaken to make such a request. It involves decision making which would begin at the City Council level, progress to the Johnson County Council of Governments, then on to the Iowa Department of Transportation, and finally to the Federal Highway Administration. After all of those steps, it would then be considered for action by Congress. There is also the question of the expense of a new interchange. I have heard various cost estimates suggested, but I think it would be at least in the $10 million to $20 million range. You may be aware that we are currently conducting a comprehensive planning study of northeast Iowa City. If the idea of a new interchange comes out of this process, we will pursue the necessary action to have it considered further. Thank you for taking the time to write. If you have specific questions, Jeff Davidson, our transportation planner, could likely help you. Sincerely, Steph~ J.

Arganbright, Principal Joan Burns, Assistant Principal Reese Morgan, Assistant Principal Marv Reftand, Athletic Director March 26, 1998 Iowa City City Council Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 TO: Iowa City City Council ~A~ 3 0 7998 CITY , IAI AG[ 'S Where Excellence I$ A Tradition It has just recently been brought to my attention that schematic plans for the development of Galway Hills immediately adjacent to our high school property line does not include an easement for student walking access to our high school. Mary Reiman, one of our high school parents and a resident of Galway Hills informed me of this situation. The purpose of this letter is to communicate my strong desire that at least one if not two easements be planned along our property line to help facilitate students walking to and from our high school building. While the rational for this request seems obvious, I believe our situation with our east property owners illustrates the problems created when easements are not provided in strategic locations. As the Council is aware, for a number of years we have had discussions on students accessing our building from the east without having to incur an unreasonable walking distance created by the lack of easements. Mary informed me that someone had communicated to her the school district was unwilling to let students access our property line by not modifying the farm fence that is located in this area.

By attending these events, you too can show your support for the young children in our community. Thank you for your support, Aileen Halverson ICAC-IAEYC President ACC--SS March 30, 1998 Dear Members of the Council, Public Access Television, Inc. currently contracts with the City of Iowa City to provide access services and manage the access facilities, equipment and channel. In order to continue to fulfill the requirements of our contract, PATV must have a center from which to operate. In November of 1997, PATV was officially notified that an ICN classroom would utilize its current space; PATV would have to find a new location. For several years PATV has been involved in discussions regarding a joint telecommunications facility with the Government Information Channel. Faced with a July I st deadline to vacate current library space, PATV must make decisions regarding facility location, hopefully by mid-April. Sharing a facility with GIC 4 would allow for a cost-effective utilization of resources, increased access visibility and the opportunity for PATV to build equity in the event of a future move to another facility. A decision on Council's part regarding the relocation of GIC 4 would greatly facilitate PATV's planning process. Although it has not been necessary in the past to allocate a portion of our operating expenses to pay for the use of space in the library, PATV will commit an annual amount of $25,000.00 to pay for accommodations in a joint facility with GIC 4. Our organization is looking to Council to support this community- oriented, cost-effective endeavor.

In this preliminary discussion, we identified a number serious problems with the proposed changes and a number of alternative solutions. We feel more time is needed to discuss these proposed changes. It is unrealistic to expect a thoughtful response from neighborhoods given a few days notice. We ask you to postpone any decision on this matter until you have given us an opportunity to respond. We strongly endorse the comments made by Barbara Buss in her April 3rd letter to Council and hope the points she makes can be the basis of a dialogue between the City Council and the Neighborhood Council concerning this important issue.

Buss 319-351-3309 747 West Benton Street Iowa City, IA 52246' e-mail: 72703.2457@compuserve.corn April 3, 1998 Ernie Lehman 902 Wylde Green Road Iowa City, IA 52246 Dear Ernie, I am writing in response to the letters I received yesterday, April 2, from the Offices of Neighborhood Services and Planning and Community Development, and the City Manager outlining the proposed restructuring of the Neighborhood Services Office. As my mail was not delivered until after 3:00, I was unable to respond by the 4:00 deadline as requested. I trust you will, nevertheless, give the following your attention. I shall refer to this collection of letters as a single letter, coming as it does from the City. I would like to address what are deemed to be the short comings of the present arrangement, and the proposed replacement for it. I am persuaded by evidence cited in this letter and by my own observations that neighborhood associations do not function as efficiently as would be ideal. I know too, that they do not exist in many neighborhoods and that most are fragile entities where they do exist. They do, however, exist, and it is my position that they fill a uniquely important role in the governing of Iowa City. They alone among all other City agencies are advocacy units for its citizens. Apathy for these neighborhood associations is given as a reason for restructuring the Neighborhood Services Office as it now exists. I would argue, that, unfortunately, apathy is the rule rather than the exception when it comes to participatory government in our country. We don't abolish school boards just because voter turn out for their elections is suggestive of a lack of interest. Congress carries on despite our failure to "write to our congressmen/women", despite our failure to vote. I don't accept the argument that the Neighborhood Council should be held to a higher standard of participation than other democratic agencies. In this letter it was also stated that "Neighborhood issues that might be approached as part of proactive neighborhood planning process [sic] continue to be addressed on a reactionary level as individual controversies occur." The proactive attempts on the part of the Weber-Harlocke and Miller Orchard Neighborhoods to establish trails and park land joining the two neighborhoods have thus far achieved no success. These same two neighborhoods may be expected to object to the widening of Benton Street. This will no doubt be deemed "reactionary" but it is difficult to see how these neighborhoods might have acted proactively in this matter. I suppose that we could have designed a traffic pattern which forced the development West of Mormon Trek onto Highway 1 rather than onto Benton Street, but that does seem a bit beyond what one should expect from even the most proactive of neighborhood associations. The letter points out that "information critical to an area was not disseminated by the neighborhood contact person", that "internal operations of the neighborhood associations have been unstructured" and "lack ...bylaws or operational guidelines." Where these conditions exist, I would agree that they should be corrected. But this would suggest that efforts be made by the City to provide guidelines for the structuring of neighborhood associations so as to assure efficient and equitable functioning. To the extent that the neighborhood services now offered are costing the city more than we can afford, I would be in favor of exploring ways of minimizing these costs. Before one scraps the operation as it now exists, I would like to see whether or not there are volunteers from those of us who support the idea of neighborhood associations who might help in defraying some of the costs to the city. For example, I believe in the importance of the neighborhood newsletters for those neighborhoods that are willing to write and edit them. Some neighborhoods would be hard pressed to print them at their own expense, but that's not to say that they couldn't hand deliver them thereby saving the cost of mailing. The letter emphasizes the inadequacy of the neighborhood newsletters to disseminate information throughout the community. It seems reasonable that there should be another medium for this purpose. I would be interested to know whether it would be possible to use the daily papers which serve Iowa City to publicize the agendas of the City Council and its various boards. We all know where to find the obituaries and the television schedule, surely we can learn to find information from the city, especially if it is located in one place on regular days. We get our leaf information with our utility bill, and that seems quite adequate notification. Perhaps this means could be expanded for all Service Delivery Systems. As to the new proposal, I have no objections to the City Council's creating a District Neighborhood Council as a "board or commission of the City of Iowa City with representatives applying to and appointed by the City Council." I do, however, hold that creating such a board/commission as a replacement for the present Neighborhood Services Office does not address the problems raised with respect to the neighborhood associations. Most importantly, such a board may be a very efficient organ of communication from the City to the community, but there is nothing in the proposal which convinces me that it will facilitate communication from the community to the City. Secondly, I do not believe it follows that the inactivity within a neighborhood will necessarily be replaced by activity within a district. On the contrary, I believe that by enlarging the geographical areas for public discussion, one dilutes the environment which fosters citizen participation. Thirdly, the City Counsel appointed boards and commissions are expected to consider the welfare of the City as a whole. Their role as advocates is limited in that it must necessarily be more general. And even if each District representative were permitted advocacy of his/her own district, one look at the map of the nine districts will inform all but the most naive observer that there is unlikely to be anything approaching a consensus on most of the issues affecting the neighborhoods within that district. To conclude, I do not see much of a logical connection between the demonstrated flaws of the present Neighborhood Services Office with its affiliated neighborhood associations and the proposal for replacing it with a district structure. As I see it, the City Council is being asked to take a position for or against neighborhood advocacy. If you choose to support the agents of advocacy, the Neighborhood Council and the Neighborhood Associations, I would urge you to support the measures necessary to make these agents more efficient and more representative. If you choose to support the proposal outlined in the letters from Marcia Klingaman, Karen Franklin and Stephen Atkins, I believe that you are closing one side of a two way street. Sincerely yours, cc: Marcia Klingaman CITY S OFFICE 1004 Penkridge Drive Iowa City, IA 52246 March 31, 1998 City Council 410 E. Washington Street Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Council Members, I am writing to voice my concern about the Iowa City Airport. I do not believe that additional jet service, either for maintenance nor transportation purposes, is desirable. Nor do I believe the airport should be enlarged. The environmental impact, especially air and noise pollution, of the proposed changes has not been evaluated. It is difficult to understand why we need an airport in Iowa City for commercial reasons or for economic growth. The Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids is 20 to 40 minutes away for most businesses in the Iowa City area. Since there would be travel involved whether it was to an airport in Iowa City or in Cedar Rapids, Iowa City businesses would save 10 to 20 minutes, at most, if their air travel was from Iowa City instead of from Cedar Rapids. If revenue from the proposed airport business and associated businesses and jobs are considered as reasons for supporting the changes, I wonder how much more revenue would be generated by closing the airport and using the land for an industrial park or other business center. It seems to me that the latter would generate the most revenue and jobs. Sincerely yours, Marcia Boyer
