Dear Councilors:
We notice that you plan to review all of the city positions. We commend you for this
review and trust it will result in more efficent and economical services.
The resignation of the Senior Center Coordinator, provides an opportunity for the city
and county to examine the philosophy and structure of the Senior Center. It can be
determined if changes should be made in light of the changing demographics and fiscal
conditions. We believe it would be helpful to review this position prior to hiring a new
person.
We would welcome the opportunity to visit with representatives of the city and the
county to discuss our concerns and to explore steps that might be taken to help the
Senior Center be positioned to move into the next century.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Welsh, chair

Attn: Marian K. Karr, City Clerk
To the City Council of Iowa City:
I am writing this letter in order to express my feelings regarding the
current proposals that the City Council is considering for the Iowa City
Translt System.
I would like for the evening services to remain as they are, and I would
also like to see the Saturday services continue as they are and, perhaps,
even expand to even later hours on Saturday evening.
With regard to the proprosal for increased transit fare, I am very willing
to pay the proposed increase of 75 cents for the services that are
currently being offered, as I feel that thls is necessary to maintain our
transit system.
I am very deeply concerned about the outcome of the Iowa City Transit
System, as I depend on the transit system for my transportation and
would be greatly affected by any decrease in hourly servtces in the
evenings and on Saturdays.
Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns regarding the
proposed changes for the Iowa Clty Transit System.
Sincerely,
Ms. Arlene Wheeler
