Re: Proposal to designate on-street bike routes
On May 24 you received correspondence from the JCCOG Assistant Transportation Planner
requesting you consider designating a system of on-street bike routes. This is a proposal which
received endorsement by the JCCOG Regional Trails and Bicycling Committee, the JCCOG
Transportation Technical Advisory Committee, and the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board. It
is also being promoted by local bicycle advocacy groups. The principal element of this proposal
is signage which would indicate to motorists that they should be prepared to "share the road" with
bicyclists. The signage gives bicyclists no additional rights than they have under current state
law; it is simply intended to increase bicyclists' visibility and to indicate to motorists that they
should be aware of bicycle traffic.
Since five of you voted to endoree this proposal at the March 27 JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy
Board meeting, I will proceed to have our sign shop fabricate the signs, and our Streets Division
erect them in accordance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. JCCOG staff
indicates to me that there has been no word on whether or not Coralville, University Heights, and
the University of Iowa will be erecting the signs on the streets under their jurisdiction. Perhaps
you can determine their intentions at the July 17 JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board meeting,

Re: West Melrose Avenue between West High School driveway and U.S. Hwy 218 interchange
Last fall staff had discussions with the Iowa City Community School District regarding
consolidation of the driveway into West High School with a proposed subdivision street in the
adjacent residential subdivision, Galway Hills. Our goal was to minimize the number of access
points onto Melrose Avenue, resulting in safer traffic flow and a higher capacity arterial street. The
School Board formally rejected our proposal at their meeting on November 28, 1995. At that point
staff left undetermined the design of a future access point onto Melrose Avenue between West
High and Galway Drive. Specifically, the issue of a median break at this location was left
unresolved.
The Galway Hills Subdivision property owners have recently indicated to us that they are unable
to proceed with planning for the remainder of their property until this issue is resolved. They have
proposed an intersection with Melrose Avenue, including a median break, approximately mid-way
between Galway Drive and the West High School driveway. Also with a stake in this matter is
the University of Iowa, owners of the property on the north side of Melrose Avenue. The UI
Director of Planning and Administrative Services has stated that the University would expect to
have a driveway to their property directly across from the proposed second Galway Hills driveway,
including a break in the median.
Staff has evaluated this matter and concludes that since the school board has eliminated what
we consider to be the preferred design, the proposed access point/median break is acceptable,
and can be accommodated consistent with City standards for arterial streets. The proposed
second access to Galway Hills will be part of a collector street system which will eventually
extend through the Cole property south of Willow Creek to Rohret Road. The spacing between
the West High driveway and Galway Drive is not optimal for an arterial street access point, but
adequate. The modification to the vertical alignment of Melrose Avenue as part of the ongoing
reconstruction project will result in improved sight distance from the proposed driveway.
Property owners in the area should be advised that this additional access point to Melrose
Avenue will be allowed with the following stipulations:
No additional access points to Melrose Avenue between West High and U.S. 218 will be
permitted.
Any future consideration of installation of a traffic signal in this corridor should take into
consideration total existing and future trip generation at each intersection. The intent is
that for the West High driveway and the proposed second access to Galway Hills, one or
the other may require a traffic signal in the future, but not both.
The proposed second access to Galway Hills will encroach 34 feet into a planting
easement which extends along Melrose Avenue. This easement was acquired by the City
to replace the grove of pine trees which was displaced with the Melrose Avenue
reconstruction. The 34 feet of the easement displaced by the road will be replaced with
a similar 34 foot easement directly west of the proposed intersection.
Assuming the prior information meets with your approval, the City Engineer has directed the
engineering firm under contract for the West Melrose Avenue reconstruction project to design the
proposed intersection and incorporate it into the ongoing reconstruction project. Give me a call
at 356-5252 if you have any questions.

DUE: MONDAY,~AUGUST
NLC's direct member cities and state municipal leagues are invited to submit policy
proposals and resolutions for consideration at the NLC's Congress of Cities in San Antonio,
Texas, December 7-10, 1996. Procedures for submitting such proposals are described
below. Please disseminate this information to your mayor, all members of the city
council, and the city manager.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION
All advance proposals to amend the NLC National Municipal Policy and advance separate
resolutions must be submitted to:
Sharon Anderson
Center for Policy and Federal Relations
National League of Cities
1301 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20004
To assure sponsors full rights in the NLC policy process, to allow review by steering
committees at their fall meetings, and to allow for distribution of advance proposals to
NLC's membership, proposals must be received in NLC's office by the close of business on
Monday, August 5, 1996. It would expedite the process if you would send us a computer
disk containing the proposal along with your written submission. Please indicate the word
processing software being used; if possible, MS Word is preferred.
-2-
FORM OF SUBMISSION
The National Municipal Policy is the comprehensive policy statement of the National League
of Cities. It is subject to amendment at each annual business meeting of NLC. Please
submit changes to the National Municipal Policy using the format outlined on the
enclosed insert.
Resolutions are short-term expressions of the membership of the National League of Cities,
typically endorsing or opposing specific Congressional bills or current Presidential positions.
A resolution does not become part of the National Municipal Policy, but guides NLC's
advocacy efforts during the one year it is in effect. A resolution automatically dies at the
end of the calendar year following the Congress of Cities at which it was passed unless it is
renewed for another year or incorporated into the National Municipal Policy. A suggested
format for resolutions appears on the reverse side of the attached insert.
Each proposed policy amendment or resolution most be accompanied by a one-page
explanation which describes the nature of the problem or concern, addresses the issue from
the municipal perspective, and discusses the proposed action which should be taken to
address the problem. Suggestions for policy amendments should identify the specific section
of the National Municipal Policy being modified. A suggested format is enclosed.
PROCEDURES FOR CONSIDERATION OF ADVANCE SUBMISSIONS
All proposals received in NLC's offices by the close of business on Monday, August 5,
1996, will be assigned to one of NLC's six steering committees for preliminary review at
their fall meetings. All proposals will be reviewed by the full policy committees when they
meet on Saturday, December 7, in San Antonio. Members submitting proposals will be
notified of the committee to which their proposal is referred and the time and place of the
policy committee meeting. In order for a proposal to be considered, the sponsor or a
representative must appear before the policy comnfittee in San Antonio to defend it.
If the policy committee accepts the proposal, it will be submitted to the Resolutions
Committee as part of the policy committee report.
If the policy committee rejects the proposal, the fact that the proposal was received by
Monday, August 5, 1996, and was distributed to members in advance, permits the sponsor to
appeal the policy committee action to the Resolutions Committee during their meeting on
Sunday, December 8.
-3-
PROCEDURE FOR CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSALS NOT SUBMITTED BY
MONDAY, AUGUST 5.
Only members of a policy committee may offer amendments to the National Municipal
Policy or resolutions within that committee's jurisdiction during the Policy Committee
meeting on Saturday, December 7.
Member cities and state leagues are urged to work with their state committee delegation if
they are unable to submit their proposal prior to the Monday, August 5, deadline. Your state
municipal league can provide names of the elected officials from your state who serve on the
relevant policy committees. The state municipal leagues select representatives from their
state to serve as members of the policy committees. Each league has a set number of slots
on the six policy committees based on the size of the state's municipal population.
The Resolutions Committee can consider only policy committee reports, proposals received
in NLC's offices by Monday, August 5, and recommendations of individual Resolutions
Committee membem.
ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING
Any certified voting delegate of a member city or state league may offer a National.
Municipal Policy amendment or a resolution for consideration at the Annual Business
Meeting on Tuesday, December 10, 1996. However, any proposals not submitted to the
voting delegates by the Resolutions Committee or the Board of Directors must be
accompanied by a petition containing the signatures of ten voting delegates, presented to the
NLC Policy Office in San Antonio no later than 10 a,ro. on December 10. To be
accepted for floor consideration at the Annual Business Meeting, such a petition must receive
a majority vote of all certified delegates present and voting.
All proposals to amend the National Municipal Policy and all resolutions, however
submitted. require a 2/3 vote of delegates present and voting for final adoption.

GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF POLICY PROPOSALS
NLC's Board of Directors established the following guidelines for policy proposals to be
considered for adoption at the Congress of Cities:
Whether acted upon as amendments to the National Municipal Policy or separate
resolutions, policy proposals:
shall -- in their subject matter -- concern shared policy and program needs,
issues or problems of the nation's nmnicipal governments;
-4-
shall be concerned with federal government policy and, therefore, be addressed
to federal government policy makers;
shall neither contradict nor duplicate existing NLC policy statements, except
where they are intended to amend or repeal such policy;
do
shall not conspromise the independence or integrity of individual member cities
to pursue any course of action adopted by appropriate municipal policy-making
bodies; and
shall not compromise the budget making, program determining, or priority
setting role of the NLC Board.
As basic, continuing organizational policy positions, proposed amendments to the
National Municipal Policy should specify city positions on federal rules and
responsibilities, policy goals, purposes, principles and/or program characteristics
within the broad subject areas covered by existing policy or authorized by NLC's
Board action. They should not refer to proposed Congressional legislation by title,
sponsor's name, or bill number.
Resolutions should be restricted to those action-specific items of short-term utility
addressed to the Congress or the President. In separate resolutions, specific reference
to proposed legislation by title, sponsor's name, or bill number is appropriate.
Resolutions shall be considered only when they do not conflict with or contradict the
existing National Municipal Policy.
Further information regarding the NLC policy process may be secured prior to the Congress
of Cities from:

Re: Delay in Construction Concerning Dreusicke-Riley and Winebrenner Ford, Inc. Easements
Condemned April, 1996
Dear Bill:
As agreed, the City of Iowa City will give as much advance notice to Winebrenner Ford, Inc. prior to the
City's contractors moving in to the above site to work on the Wastewater Treatment Connection Project
aka South River Corridor Sewer Relief Project ("Project"). The City recognizes that advance notice is needed
by Winebrenner to permit removal of inventory (cars) off the temporary construction area.
As you know, the temporary construction easement which the City condemned over Winebrenner Ford,
Inc.'s leasehold interest was for a period of four (4) months only, to be concluded on August 31, 1996.
Based on a discussion with Tim Randall, Iowa City's Inspector for construction of the Project, the contractor
is scheduled to be in the Winebrenner Ford area around the end of July 1996. This rescheduling of work
in your clients' area still allows enough time for the City to complete the Project before the temporary
construction expires August 31, 1996.
In any event and as you well know, the City of Iowa City has not taken possession of the temporary
construction easement condemned from Winebrenner Ford, Inc. in any manner, and to date has not had the
City's contractor on any portion of the Winebrenner Ford/Dreusicke-Riley property. This situation is due
to the fact that the weather has been so wet that the contractor is not able to work on the property just
south of the Winebrenner Ford/Dreusicke-Riley land (namely Kennedy) because the soil is saturated. Thus,
the contractor returned to the Napoleon Park site in May 1996, rather than work in your clients' area.
Finally, I want to assure you, once again, that the City will give you as much advance notice as reasonably
possible as to when Winebrenner Ford needs to move their cars. I wanted to bring you up to date on this
matter. and I look forward to getting the work done on your clients' property in a manner which will cause
minimal disruption and occur as swiftly as possible.
Cordially yours.

Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear Ms. Craig & Mr. Eckholt:
Thank you for presenting, for preliminary review, the proposed design plans for the Iowa City
Public Library expansion. The consensus of the Committee is that the library expansion
project, which was shared with the Committee on June 17, 1996, generally meets the design
guidelines of the Design Review Ordinance.
The Committee believes the design of the library project would be a welcome addition to the
downtown streetscape. The mass, scale, and materials of the building not only complement
the surrounding buildings but also bring a new building style to the downtown. As you recall
from the Committee's discussion, some members expressed a concern regarding the sloping
cylindrical tower at the corner of Dubuque and College Streets, while other members praised
the boldness of the design. Those member's with concerns appreciated the concept of a
tower at that location, but they questioned whether that particular shape was consistent with
the building or fit into the streetscape of downtown Iowa City. Based on your comments to
the Committee, the community has responded in a similar divisive fashion on the tower.
The Committee looks forward to reviewing the project in more detail, in particular the design
of the corner tower. As you are aware, the project must go through the final review process
during which the Committee formally reviews the design, and based on submitted materials,
makes a formal recommendation to the City Council.
Sincerely,

Johnson County Ambulance Citizen Committee Meeting
On June 21, 1996, I attended the Johnson County Ambulance Citizen Committee meeting.
Those in attendance at the meeting were: Mr, Bob Saunders, Dr. Charles Huss, Dr. Robert
Hegeman, Mr. Jim Kisthard, chairperson, and Mr. Mike Sullivan, Director, Johnson County
Ambulance Service.
It is my understanding this group of professionals is examining the current operations of the
Johnson County Ambulance Service.
Recent discussions of the committee have addressed issues such as hospital-based and
private ambulance services. AS you know. the Iowa City Fire Department works extremely
close with the Johnson County Ambulance Service. In fact, 60 percent of the incidents we
responded to last year were emergency medical calls.
I believe this committee will be making recommendations to the Johnson County Board of
Supervisors regarding the operations of the Johnson County Ambulance Service in the near
future. In addition, I plan to attend future meetings of the Johnson County Ambulance Citizen
Committee.

Reference: Expectations Discussions
Roger Brown and I enjoyed our discussion on June 26 with you and Fire Marshall Roger Jensen.
As we discussed, recent changes in our organization should have no impact on our commitment
to work closely with the Iowa City Fire Depmment to respond to emergencies involving
darnaged electric or gas facilities. While the WATI'S emergency call number (800-595-5325)
should be the first avenue for police/fire dispatchers to summon MidAmeficaa Energy (MEC)
personnel, I invite you to call me personally (358-3374) should you or your department have any
special concerns.
As emergencies necessitate opening the Iowa City Emergency Center, I will contact you to
provide a more direct path of communication. Moreover, when our phone switch system is
upgraded to provide better statewide communication, I will provide you with those nmnbers.
Last, I look forward to investigating joint training opportunities that will enhance our work
force's skills and cooperation. Perhaps confined space training would be an excellent initial
topic.
We value a constructive relationship with the Iowa City Fire Department and appreciate your and
Roger's time.
Again, please feel free to contact me directly ifI can do anything to enhance our relationship
with the Iowa City Fire Department.
Best regards,

Subject: Cable TV, Public Access TV, and community programming
I should like to make a correction to Derek Mauer's message. The
$153,000 does not go directly from TCI to PATV (Public Access TV), but to
the City of Iowa City to use as it sees appropriate. As a general
principle, revenues raised from specific sources (in this case, the cable
franchise) are usually allocated to cover costs associated with the
service and to enhance that service. Under the present franchise
agreement these funds are to be used for public access and community
programming, and funds could be allocated for this purpose to any of the
access channels or for other uses as deemed appropriate by the
Broadband Telecommunications Commission and City Council.
As is evidenced by letters and editorials in the Press Citizen and ]]as
been made clear to me by many members of the city cable staff, there is
considerable dissatisfaction in the community with PAT~J. PATV defines its
mission quite narrowly, as providing public access. This is quite
valuable as it is important for citizens of this community to have access
to a vital means of communication. But over the years, PATV has had
little or no interest in cormnunity programming, that is, actively
soliciting and producing programming about Iowa City or about events
occurring in the city. Thus, any individual can produce a videotape and
have it aired on PATV, but there is no organization actively producing
programs deemed of interest to the community.
The PATV Board vigorously, though unsuccessfully, opposed wording in the
new cable franchise agreement that allows for the some of these funds to
be used for community programming. To give you a clear example of what
this has meant, when the possibility arose of carrying a local high
school football game on the cable system, PATV refused to allocate time on
its channel. Thus, even though this was a program of much interest in
the community, as it was not strictly public access, PATV had no interest
in carrying it. I am of the view that we need to have a public access
and community programming channel with strong commitments to both of
these goals.
The question is not whether Iowa City should have public access and
community programming, clearly it should have both. The current franchise
agreement provides well over $1.5 million over the next ten years for
these purposes. The question is how much public access do we want and
how much community programming? All of the surveys done attendant to the
refranchising agreement with TCI drew attention to the fact that there
was and is a great desire in Iowa City for increased community programming.
PATV is not the organization that has any history of willingness to
provide this service. Efforts to convince PATV of the need to broaden it~
mission have been futile. This is a serious loss to our community and
one which deserves to be met.

Well, I have to throw my hat in the ring on this issue now, though I will ad-
vertise myself as *not· speaking for the PATV board, tho' I am a fledgeling
member.
KPAINTER - ADPSYA2

and community programming
First, the Board of PATV as it now stands is very interested in continuing its
exemplary record of serving the Iowa City community. It resisted certain in-
itial, insulting attempts to force some narrowly-defined versions of cormmunity
programmin9 onto its shoulders. Those attempts neglected the important
mission of education so vital to a community's ability to produc~ access tele-
vision for itself.
Second, what Mr. Hoch neglects to mention is a proposal afoot to provide for
yet another (yawn) highly-paid City of Iowa City administrator. This person
will supposedly, fer the low-low price of $43,000 a year to start,
"coordinate" community programming. This is typical: a quick fix so
dissatisfied members of the community can be told something has been done about
a complaint.
The fears I have about this big-government approach, and housing community
programming within the municipal bureaucracy, is that the dollars will simply
not be put to effective use. Public Access fills its air time almost fully
with an array of programming, both locally produced and provided on tape from
elsewhere by local citizens. The other access channels do the things they do
with admirable skill and dedication, but the fact is they don't do very much
with the community at large. That is and has always been the role assumed by
PATV. To say PATV has shunned community progranting for something more elit-
ist is flatly false. They have simply held to their core mission while making
the best progress they could to assess community programming need and fulfill
that need with limited funds while enduring periodic outbursts of hostility
from those who oppose its core mission and would prefer to thoroughly
marginalize it.
As early as 1994, PATV proposed to assume responsibility for cormnunity program-
ming. That proposal was not given the attention it deserved. Members of
the community who would rather not see another civic "suit" hired to do heaven
knows what for their fat salary might wish to obtain a copy of various propo-
sals, and think hard about the role of PATV versus that of other access entit-
ies. It seems very likely to me that what is going on is an attempt to install
a bit more turf control over the access airwaves in City Hall. And that, I
contend, is not a good thing, and hardly a use of cable fees that this
particular community would broadly endorse. (I say this as one who is as
devoted to high school football as anyone else in tow-n, and who looks forward
to seeing more of it on Channel 2, your local access channel...)
I am delighted this conversation has begun. I will be more delighted to see
historical information on the great debate over community programming
(producing prograd~ning *for* community organizations rather than helping indi-
viduals produce their *own* programming) make its way into the hands of the
public. This is an area of need that must be addressed.. ~'~pe many Iowa
Citians help shape the conversation about where responsi~ty for addressing
that need best rests.

Subject: Re: Cable TV, Public Access TV, and community programming
FYI
When my wife and I moved here from Lawrence Kansas, and subscribed to
cable TV, we were shocked. First, they insisted on a $60 installation
fee (Lawrence had free installation). The installation consisted of a
guy pulling the existing cable outof the house and putting in a "new"
cable of the same type and quality.
Second, we noticed there was no local news programming (again in
contrast to Lawrence, where the franchise agreement required 30 minutes
each day of local news; this was essentially, a local news show much
like what the stations in Cedar Rapids and Waterloo do)
Third, we noticed and continue to notice that we get fewer channels and
services, yet pay more. Anybody try to watch FOX lately?
Fourth, in Lawrence, if you want service or a change in service,
simply call and they did it via computer from the station. Here,
apparently everything is manual or at lears very primitive.
you
Fifth, there was real pay per view, with listings in the paper and
everything. Here, you have to have an old style converter, and its hit
or miss whether you even know what's on.
For the life of me, I do not understand how the current agreement was
reached here in Iowa City. It seems that although elsewhere when
franchises are renewed the general trend is for the locality to'exact
ex~0anded services and few if any cost increases, the exact dppo~ite
~,~ed here.
Perhaps some comment from counsel members of city staff would clear m~
confusion up. In the m~antime, I can't help but wonder whether we're
getting the services we pay for at the right price.

I would be very cautious about your sources of information. The PC's
bias, half-hearted attention to detail and lack of connection to the
community, as well as the city cable staff's obvious potential

Are we watching the same channel? I've seen lots of community programmin§,
produced by members of the con~munity: EA meetings, campaign stuff, the
housing cooperative,s open house are just some of the programs I've
seen. Not to mention the various local talk and news programs.

To me, it seems like the commission is defining co,unity programming as
having some paid employees, PATV or City staff, tape events. This will
surely cost more and involve questions as to who gets taped. The better
solution, in my opinion, is the current PATV approach. Provide the tools
and the training and let whoever wants to put something on to do it.
This is MUCH better than allow the city manager or city council decide
what they want to put on public accessl
Lastly, while I think I strongly disagree with your approach, Steven,
TH/~ YOU for posting to JC-News and for ex~pressing yourself clearly.

COULD YOU BE MORE PRECISE ABOUT A POTENTIAL CONFLICT ON INTERESTS OF CITY
STAFF? YOU WILL NOT GET ME TO DEFEND THE PC, BUT I DO WORRY HOW MIJCH
SUPPORT THERE IS IN THE COMMUNITY FOR PATV AND IF IT IS AIRING THE KIND
OF PROGRAMMING THAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS. I'D WELCOME ANY WAY TO MEASURE
THIS MORE PRECISELY. AGAIN, ALL I CAN STATE IS A SENSE THAT MANY
ORGANIZATIONS HAVE EVENTS FROM WHICH MORE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY COULD
BENEFIT FROM IF THEY WERE ON PATer. FOR MORE ON THIS SEE BELOW.
But over the years, PATV has had
little or no interest in community programming, that is, actively

WHAT I HAVE BEEN SEEKING IS AN ORGANIZATION, WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO BE PATV,
WHICH SEEKS OUT PROGRAMMING IT THINKS IS OF INTEREST TO THE COMMUNITY AND
THEN PRODUCES AND BROADCASTS IT. AT THE PRESENT THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR
PRODUCING A PROGRAM RESTS WITH THE ORGANIZATION THAT IS SPONSORING AND
RUNNING THE EVENT. SOME LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS HAVE BEEN VERY ACTIVE;
OTHERS SIMPLY LACK THE RESOURCES TO DO SO OR DON'T SEE THIS AS THEIR
PRIMARY FOCUS AND HAVE TOO MUCH ELSE TO DO, THOUGH THEIR EVENTS MAY BE OF
MUCH INTEREST TO MANY IN IOWA CITY.
I AGREE THAT THE CITY OUGHT NOT TO BE INVOLVED IN DETERMINING WHAT GETS
TO BE PRODUCED, BUT I DON'T SEE ANY REASON NOT TO SPEND SOME FUNDS TO
SEEK OUT EVENTS WHICH OTHERWISE WOULD NOT GET TAPED AND BROADCASTING THEM ON
PATV, OR PATV ACTUALLY PRODUCING ITS OWN SHOWS THAT IT THINKS MIGHT BE OF
INTEREST TO THE COMMTJNITY. AS IT STANDS NOW PATV PROGRAMMING IS IN THE
BANDS OF ITS INDEPENDENT PRODUCERS--SIMPLY THOSE WHO DECIDE THEY WISH TO
PRODUCE A PROGRAM AND AIR IT. IS IT DESIRABLE THAT ALL THE FUNDS AND ALL
THE PROGRAMMING GO FOR THIS PURPOSE?

difficult.
Please nots the "bargain" which the City raceives from the City Attorney's Office in terms of hourly

skilled attorneys in the Iowa City area receive for performing litigation and other municipal law.
Even assuming 50% of outside counssl's $115/hour is for overhead, my attorneys' salaries are
eminently reasonable. However, in order to remain competitive in the Iowa City market, you as
a City Council may want to look at the salaries of your presently employed attorneys -- and
whether they are indeed competitive.

Consumer Price Index Adjustments
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all items has been included in the Community Profile to aid the user in
comparing dollar figures presented. Also provided is the regional CPI. Iowa is part of the Central Region which
consists of the following states:
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio.
The base period for both the national
and regional CPI is 1982-84.
Year National CPI Regional
1980 82.4 82.4
1981 90.9 90.1
1982 96.5 96.5
1983 99.6 99.9
1984 103.9 103.6
1985 107.6 106.8
1986 109.6 108.0
1987 113.6 111.9
1988 118.3 116.1
1989 124.0 121.5
1990 130.7 127.4
1991 136.2 132.4
1992 140.3 136.1
1993 144.5 140.0
1994 148.2 144.0
1995 152.4 148.4
Example Illustrating Use of CPI:
The average weekly wage in private industry for 1985 was $264.
CPI
That same figure for 1992 was $350. It is
possible to inflate the 1985 figure or to deflate the 1992 figure using one of the following formulas:
which is the 1992 average weekly wage
for private industry in 1985 dollars
which is the 1985 average weekly wage
for private industry in 1992 dollars
1992 figure x 1985 CPI --) $350x 107.6 = $268
1992 CPI 140,3
1985 figure x 1992 CPI -> $264 x 140.3 = $344
1985 CPI 107.6
