Police Citizen's Review Board
Purpose
The purpose of this legislation is to establish the policy and procedures for expeditious,
thorough and equitable investigation of complaints filed against Police Department
personnel. The following procedures are to ensure a fair determination of an employee's
conduct and determine the underlying causes of unsatisfactory conduct so that action may
be taken to remedy that conduct. The PCRB shall also have the authority to review
policies and procedures as needed or upon the request of the City Council or City
Manager.
The Police Citizen's Review Board (PCRB) will be made up of Iowa City citizens, intended
to establish a process available to any complainant free of charge, and without the need
for attorneys or other professional advisors.
Complaint
A complaint is defined as an allegation made by a person that an employee of the Police
Department has violated a Department rule or regulation or has violated a law or engaged
in conduct detrimental to the Department. All formal complaints filed with the PCRB must
be in writing on forms supplied by the PCRB and signed by the complainant. The person
making the complaint must have personal knowledge of the incident. A formal complaint
must be filed with the PCRB within 60 days of the alleged incident. Complaints should
allege facts which, if true, would establish that misconduct occurred. All complaints will
be received and reviewed.
Complaint Intake
Complaints will be received by non-police personnel, trained to assist in the
completion of necessary forms. Forms will be made available at convenient
locations.
2
Complaint intake will occur at a location other than the Police Department offices.
Site(s) to be determined.
Complaint intake will include:
1. Complainant may request assistance in filing a formal written complaint.
Complainant may request and be provided a complaint form which may be
completed and returned at a later date, as long as it remains within
established timeliness requirements of the legislation.
The PCRB and Chief of Police are notified immediately of the filing of a
formal complaint. The PCRB will maintain a central register of all formal
complaints.
The chair of the PCRB will acknowledge receipt to the complainant within
__ days of receipt. The PCRB will advise the complainant of the
process which will be followed in handling the complaint. The complainant
may withdraw the complaint if he/she chooses after being informed of the
process.
5. The PCRB must determine:
The complaint is within the scope of the PCRB's jurisdiction. If the
complaint is not within the PCRB's jurisdiction, the complainant is
advised of other possible avenues of relief, if any.
If the complainant withdraws the complaint, for other than
jurisdictional reasons, those reasons are to be documented.
If the complaint concerns a departmental policy or procedure and that
policy or procedure is believed to be minor in nature, PCRB intake
3
personnel may attempt to resolve the complaint to the satisfaction of the
complainant by arranging a meeting/confersnce with the watch commander
of the subject officer,
If the complainant remains dissatisfied or chooses not to meet with the
watch commander, they may pursue the formal, structured complaint
process.
During the conduct of the investigation the PCRB may choose to suggest
mediation to the complainant. Mediation will be an informal process, held
by PCRB members, and attended by the complainant, the subject officer
for the purpose of fully, thoroughly, and frankly discussing the alleged
misconduct and attempting to arrive at a mutually agreeable resolution of
the complaint. Mediation will be attempted when all of the parties agree:
1) complainant; 2) PCRB; 3) subject officer; and 4) Chief of Police.
Successful mediation will be defined as a process in which the parties have
been heard, clarified and understood the issues and each other's point of
view. This may result in agreement or an agreement to disagree.
(Mediation details and procedure to be defined).
Complaint Investigation
Formal complaint investigation is undertaken if a conference or mediation is
refused, or deemed unsuccessful by either party.
Formal complaints are filed with the PCRB and Chief of Police. The PCRB, upon
finding that the complaint is within their jurisdiction, requests the Chief of Police to
initiate an investigation.
Upon receipt of the formal complaint from the PCRB, the Chief of Police will cause
an investigation to be initiated. The investigation will follow traditional police
investigative procedures. The parties involved will be notified immediately, notably
4
the officer subject to the misconduct complaint. The investigation will be
concluded within 30 days of receipt of the formal complaint from the PCRB. The
PCRB may grant an extension of time at the request of the Chief of Police.
In the conduct of the investigation, all parties will need to be made aware of their
rights with proper notification (City Attorney opinion).
Investigative reports where protected by law will remain confidential (City Attorney
opinion).
Upon conclusion of the investigation the Chief of Police will direct the investigative
report and his/her disciplinary recommendations to the PCRB for their review. The
PCRB may request additional information of the Chief of Police as appropriate.
The PCRB shall concur in a finding of fact only when clear and convincing
evidence is established.
If the PCRB concurs with a complaint, they refer their findings to the Chief of
Police. The PCRB, in their findings, may express their concerns with respect to
the severity of the circumstances and request the Chief of Police take
commensurate disciplinary action. The Chief of Police will initiate discipline.
No~s:
All affected personnel may appeal the decision to the Civil Service Commission.
Confidentiality must be identified and expressed where appropriate.
Numerous procedural matters need to be identified.
PCRB make-up should include experience in the legal profession for some members.
PCRB should be required to participate in police ride.along and the Citizen Police
Academy.

Re: Deer Situation
Some time ago the attached article was given to the staff and City Council. Also there were passing
comments about how we might address the apparent overabundance of deer in our community. I
asked Lisa to so some preliminary research and the following represents our initial findings:
We specifically discussed the possibility of a deer hunt by certified bow and arrow hunters and the
distribution of the meat to needy Iowa City citizens. Tim Thompson of the Department of Natural
Resoumes indicated that he felt it was important that we have early citizen input into the process. He
indicated that he believes the citizens must agree: 1) a problem exists with the current deer population
and 2) they must be involved in deciding a plan of action to alleviate the problem.
He also suggested if we were interested, the DNR may participate in a helicopter count -- preferably
during winter months --to determine the current population. Also we need to gather current statistics
on deer-related accidents as well as some estimates of property end crop damage that have occurred.
!t appears that what he was saying was that a clear "evidence of need" must be identified.
The hunt, if it were to be conducted, should occur during the normal deer hunting season which is from
October 1 through January 10.
We also spoke with a representative of the Department of Public Health and were informed that
animals that are raised in the wild are not subject to meat and poultry inspection. Only animals raised
on farms must be inspected. The actual processing of the meat, however, must be done by a licensed
establishment.
This memo is simply to give you some ideas and follow-up on earlier Council comments.

Re: Near Southside Design Plan - Update
Since adoption of the Near Southside Design Plan in December 1995, there have been several
relatively large-scale construction projects completed in the Near Southside redevelopment area.
These have been a mix of public and private initiatives. To summarize:
1. The Gateway South Building (Jim Clark) - 201 E. Burlington
CB-5 zone
19 residential dwelling units; 84 bedrooms
6,330 sq. ft. commercial space
$1,100,000
2. The Kevin Kidwell Building. $17 S. Llnn Street
PRM zone
16 residential dwelling units; 61 bedrooms
$700,0OO
3. The Cornerstone Building (Hodge Construction) - 600 S. Capitol St.
PRM zone
32 residential dwelling units; 128 bedrooms
$1,3OO,OOO
4. Brewed Awakenings - 509 S. Gilbert St.
CB-5 zone
2,920 sq. ft. commercial remodeling
$30,000
5. Reconstruction of Gilbert Street/Burlington Street Intersection - City of Iowa City
Expanded capacity; improved signalization
Should reduce accident frequency.
Includes pedestrian access and streetscape design features.
$632,428
The three major apartment building projects have been designed consistent with the provisions
of the CB-5 and PRM zones, resulting in attractive buildings of masonry construction which have
generated many positive comments. The reconstruction of the Gilbert/Burlington intersection has
also generated positive comments, and was designed according to the Near Southside Design
Plan. The developer of the Gateway South Building voluntarily replaced the public right-of-way
border area around his building with brick pavers according to the Near Southside Design Plan.
Another property owner in the Near Southside on South Gilbert Street has recently contacted the
City about reconstructing the right-of-way area in front of his building consistent with the Near
Southside Design Plan.
These redevelopment projects combined with projects from the preceding couple of years
(Breese-Belle Building at 21 S. Linn Street, rehabilitation of the O'Brien Electric Building on South
Gilbert Street, and reconstruction of the Maiden Lane area by the City), as well as projects in the
planning stages (Hieronymus Square, Near Southside multi-use parking facility, Burlington Street
landscaped median) represent millions of dollars in reinvestment in the Near Southside. The Near
Southside Design Plan will continue to be used to provide overall design guidance in the area.
I will periodically report to you on projects which carry out the intent of our Near Southside Plans.

Annual Energy Use Report - Year End FY96
The Iowa City Energy Conservation Program continues to accumulate savings. Since 1980 the City
has saved an estimated $4,066,439 in energy costs. This fiscal year alone the City has saved
approximately $574,318. Contributing, in no small measure, to this savings is a dedicated City staff
which maintains and operates City buildings efficiently. Overall, the average energy efficiency in City
buildings over the past five years has increased 38% since 1980.
In order that you may more fully understand the energy conservation program, attached is my "FY96
Energy Use" report to staff regarding Iowa City energy use. Two graphs have been plotted which
show the trend toward greater energy efficiency in the City. The first graph, "IOWA CITY ENERGY
USE PROFILE," depicts the total amount of natural gas and electricity used by the City for each fiscal
year as measured in millions of BTU's per degree day (DD), standard year. The top line represents
what the energy use would have been in each fiscal year had there been no energy conservation
programs and had each year had exactly 7563 degree days or a standard year. This line is generated
by assuming that starting in FY78 the City's energy use growth would have kept pace with the average
growth rate of energy consumption by the entire metropolitan area as calculated from utility company
data for the five years prior to 1985 (3.7% per year). The sudden jump in usage for FY90 is caused
bythe construction of the large wastewater treatment facility which came on-line in FY90. The lower
line shows the actual energy consumed each year by the City as adjusted to correspond to the
standard year of 7563 degree days. Since each line represents energy use for a standard year (same
temperatures), the energy savings may be calculated each year by subtracting the lower line from the
upper line. For example, in FY82 the energy saved would be 10 million BTU/DD minus 9 million
BTU/DD or 1 million BTU/DD saved.
The second graph (also shown in tabular form) shows the trend toward greater energy efficiency in
the average Building Energy Index (BEI). The smaller the BEI, the more efficient the building. The
BEI is the measure of energy used in a building (BTU) divided by the heated and cooled floor area
(square feet) of the building and further divided by the number of degree days (DD) in the fiscal year.
Dividing by the area of the building removes the size as a variable and dividing by the degree days
removes outside temperature differences as a variable. A descending line shows a trend toward
greater energy efficiency. The short-term increase (loss of efficiency) indicated in FY85 corresponds
to a period when there was no Energy Coordinator employed by the City and a probable lapse in
conservation effort. As pointed out in my memo of 9-11-86, this momentary lapse in conservation
effort cost the City an estimated $76,875.00 in extra energy consumption. The jump in 1993 was due
to the flooding and abnormal weather conditions.
The award-winning Energy Conservation Program is self-funded out of energy savings, requiring no
new allocation of tax dollars. In fact, even as the program spends money for new Energy
Conservation Measures, energy budgets are reduced. Total energy savings have surpassed total
expenditures from the Energy Savings Payback Fund by approximately $331,607 over the past eleven
years of fund activity.

Mr. Edwin K. Barker
Six Lime Kiln Lane NE
Iowa City, IA 52245
Dear Ed:
The Silurian aquifer will be utilized by the City of Iowa City to supplement other source water
to insure that an adequate supply of quality potable water in provided to users of Iowa City
water facilities. The Silurian aquifer east of the Iowa River and north of Court Street contains
the highest quality raw water in Johnson County, and is therefore a necessary component of
Iowa City source water which includes the Iowa River, alluvial aquifer, Jordan aquifer, and
Silurian aquifer. The Silurian aquifer yields the best water at the lower treatment cost.
Iowa City has, more than any other political subdivision within Johnson County, evaluated the
potential yield and impact on the Silurian aquifer from an increase in use. Since March of
1995, the City has been monitoring over thirty Silurian/Devonian wells throughout the north
corridor area with the U.S. Geological Survey. We will continue to monitor these wells
through March of 1998. In addition, we have relied on a Silurian Technical Advisory Group
comprised of City Staff, Howard R. Green Consulting Engineers, U.S. Geological Survey,
Johnson County Health Department, and the Iowa Geological Bureau for technical assistance.
This group of professionals worked to create a pumping test process that would provide the
necessary information needed to fulfill the City's objectives of predicting the potential aquifer
yields, This included the wells on the plant site, the peninsula site and other sites along the
City's new raw water pipeline between the old and new plants and determining the optimum
pumping rate for the new water plant site Silurian wells. For Iowa City, aquifer yield means
a pumping rate and frequency from each of Iowa City's Silurian wells which will not
excessively mine the aquifer or negatively impact aquifer use by others within the wells' area
of influence.
1. Why did Iowa City request that all Silurian wells operated by Iowa City and Coralville be
shut down during the test pumping of the new well?
Through consultation with the Silurian Technical Advisory Group (TAG) it was decided that
the best information regardin0 the impant on the aquifer would be through knowing as
much about the pumping variables throughout the test area as possible. At the existing
water treatment plant we utilize the Silurian wells in Burge dormitory in accordance with
conditions at the plant and with our other raw water sources (Iowa River and Jordan well).
During the time of the pumping test the Silurian wells in Burge were not being used. We
normally utilize the Silurian wells for water quality or quantity problems. Since we were

experiencing neither, the wells were off. The Silurian TAG discussed the pumping test
schedule and procedure with Coralville. At the time of the pumping test Coralville's
Silurian well was down for maintenance. Whether pumps are on or off, the calculations
from the information derived determine pumping rate and frequency.
With all of the technology available today, why can't Iowa City process the water available
from the Iowa River, and alluvial sources, and the Jordan Aquifer in such a way that
ample, high quality water would be available to the citizens of Iowa City?
Iowa City has done extensive investigations of the raw water sources in the area. In order
to meet the goal of a high quality drinking water for our community it is necessary that
we begin with the highest quality raw sources. In addition, we have learned that it is
valuable to have a variety of sources for both reliability and redundancy to the system.
The Silurian aquifer is the best quality water in the area and it is present in sufficient
quantities to be a part of our system. With higher quality at the source treatment costs
are less and the finished water is consistent in both quality and quantity.
3. What were the reasons that Council members were not informed that the Silurian wells
operated by Iowa City and Coralville would not be pumping during the test period?
This was part of a number of technical tests and other scientific work in planning the
water resources. Council has traditionally allowed the work related to analysis of water
sources to proceed under guidance of the technicians. There was no need to inform
Council of each and every test.
If, in fact, a major reason for the test was to see what the impact of pumping the Iowa
City and Coralville Silurian wells would have on the water level of the private wells in the
North Corridor, why has not a test been conducted with all municipality controlled Silurian
wells pumping? Will such a test be conducted?
Attached are the objectives' of the pump test that were shared through several meetings
with residents of the North Corridor. The process for obtaining these objectives includes
the well level monitoring system set up through the USGS, input from citizens with private
wells in the North Corridor, collation and modeling with the level, usage, and stratigraphic
data from well records. The pump test was a relatively elaborate and expensive operation
used to supplement the information in total.
An even more elaborate and far-reaching evaluation of the Silurian aquifer was proposed
by the U.S. Geological Survey in order to develop a computer model to assist in predicting
the effects of future water withdrawal from the aquifer. All municipalities using the
aquifer and Johnson County must actively support the U.S. Geological Survey's proposal
before any meaningful additional aquifer evaluation can be conducted. As a county
resident, we would encourage you to approach the County Board and ask for their
support. To date the County's policy has been not to be involved in these comprehensive
studies,

5. How many new Silurian wells does Iowa City plan to drill in addition to the new well used
during the recent test period?
The current plan is for the City to have seven Silurian wells, including the four that it
currently has proposed for the plant site and peninsula site.
The City has taken a thoughtful and responsible role in developing the Silurian aquifer as a
source. You can expect the City to continue this approach.

Re: Project Action Consumer Training
Iowa City Transit is one of thirty-six sites in the nation and the only one in Iowa
to be selected by Project Action, a division of Easter Seals, as a training site for
consumer training on transitioning persons with disabilities from paratransit onto
fixed route buses. Free training is also given to persons with disabilities on their
rights and responsibilities for using public transportation under the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA). This is a cooperative effort between Iowa City
Transit and the Johnson County Coalition of Persons With Disabilities.
The training will be conducted by REELife Solutions, a nationally know training
and consulting firm which specializes in disability issues. The date of the
training has not yet been set, but I am going to try to coordinate the training with
the addition of five more accessible buses to our fleet in April, 1997. We will
also begin the process of retrofitting our six Orion buses at that time. I will let
you know the date of the training as soon as Mr. Espinosa calls to schedule it.
I have attached a copy of the Project Action Update which describes this
training. When I receive more details, I will forward them to you.

Project ACTION Launches its National Consumer
Training Campaign
Project ACTION recently announced its
1996-1997 national consumer training
campaign. This dual initiative is designed
to provide free training to people with
disabihties on their fights and responsi-
bilities for using public txansportation
under the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA). Additionally, transit proper-
ties can receive free help tra.nsitioning
people with disabilities from paratransit
to fixed route services. REELfie
Solutions, a nationally known training
and consulting firm which specializes in
disability issues, will conduct the train-
ing. The training will focus on people
with disabilities who currently use para-
transit service, but might be able to use
the more integrated accessible public
transportation now offered.
Nancy Smith, director of Project
ACTION, is excited about the opportu-
nity for change that the initiative offers.
"With these projects, Project ACTION
hopes to help transit properties address
one of the greatest challenges of this
decade," stated Smith. "Since the pas-
-sage of the ADA, transit prope~es
have been grappling with the tssue of
transittoning people with disabilities
from paratransit onto fixed route. While
we know this training inttiative can't pro-
vide all the answers, we thmk educating
consumers is a good start."
The primary requirement for be-
coming a recipient of Project ACTION's
consumer training was that the transit
property and the local disability commu-
nity had to work together. Recipients
were selected on a first-come, first-served
basis. "These projects are especially
effective because they bring together the
transit property and the local disability
commumty and build a long-term rela.
tionship of mutual understanding that
has traditionally been absent," said
'Eddie Espinosa, president of REELfie
Solutions, who has trained over 10,000
people on accessible transportation and
the ADA across the country and abroad.
Thirty-six sites have been selected.
Training will begin November 199§. The

De~r Mayor Novick,
I have been following the current situation in Iowa City concerning the shooting death of Eric
Shaw. As a local business person, I read the local papers, listen to local radio and speak with a rather
diverse cross section of Iowa City. Going way back, I also have experience as a retired officer in the
U.S. Army, Vietnam era.
I have been astounded by the lack of current Iowa City, Administrative, Police and Council
leadership in dealing with what has finally expressed itself in a tragic situation.
Where has the mayor been? Where has the city administrator been? Where has the police chief
been? Apparently, the current vogue is to pick up the pay check and run from the responsibility.
Could it possibly be that this glaring lack of leadership is one of the reasons that we are faced
with this current situation?
The police officer's job is not an easy one and requires community support and respect that is
reciprocal.
While in the military, I observed, first hand, situations involving violent death and the
mishandling of the situations by people in command, leadership roles. What happened to the leaders
who mishandled their roles? They were removed from their positions immediately. Perhaps this is
too drastic a position to take in our current Iowa City setting, but 40 caliber bullets are pretty drastic.
I hope that the community will move itself forward with all due speed towards a review board
with oversight powers.
We need police; the police need leadership and community support. Mrs. Mayor, City Council,
Mr. City Administrator, step up and earn your keep.

department. This would be a review of officers, equipment, training, procedures, etc. by

Ms. Naomi Novick, Council Member
City of Iowa City
410 E, Washington Street
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Ms. Novick:
I am writhag to offer my strong support for the creation of a police review
cornmission in Iowa City. The killing of Eric Shaw is a shocking reminder that we
confer on our police officers the power of life and death; yet, in this town, we citi-
zens have remarkably little say over how our police force uses that power.
Although I could not attend the meeting at which many citizens expressed outrage at
the lowa City police force, I have heard similar stories of excessive force and disre-
specllul behavior from too many of my students. I deeply regret our town's lack of
an authorized body to address these complaints.
I urge the council to create a police review commission; I further urge that the
commission be staffed by citizens, with a representative from the police department
as an ex off'tcio member. In no way should a police review commission appear to be
beholden to the department it reviews; thus the control of the commission should rest
with common citizens. The commission should report directly to the council; it should
have the power to help set police policy in conjunction with the chief of police, and it
should have the power to respond swiftly to alleged abuses of police power. It should
have its own secretary or administrative assistant and its own telephone line, whose
number is clearly listed in all city publications; it should have access to its own legal
counsel in cases where it$ reconmmndations might place it at odds with the city's own
legal staff. The commission might reasonably consist of seven members-one member
chosen by each member of the city council-or it might be a smaller body whose
membership is elected in a citywide vote.
This is, I might add, a commission on which I would be happy to serve.
I should add that I continue to worry about the city's emphatic support of the
current police chief at this th-ne. No reasonable person should doubt the need for a
highly-skilled police force in this town; the recent brutal rape on Gilbert Street is
evidence enough for that. Yet a police force in which an officer can fn'e a fatal shot
at close range at an unarmed man is not a police force that is fully in control of itself,
its policies and procedures, or its morale. This control extends primarily from the
chief of police outward; its current absence is a cause tbr great concern.
Accordingly, I urge the council to make a public statement of its concern for the
state of the Iowa City police department at all levels, and to make it clear to the public
the council's intention to review the performance of the department at all levels.

Dear Mayor Novic,
I watched the September 10 City Cotmcil meeting on Channel 4 with very mixed t~elings. I
want to express those to you. It was not possible for me to attend that meeting.
It must have been quite difficult to sit there and listen without becoming defensive. Strong
statements were made concerning our Council and our police department. Thank you for your
attentiveness to the speakers and for your cam and concern. I was also watching the democratic
process in action, something that never fails to fill me with gmat gladness for the opportunity to
live in a community where this process is a reality.
These past days, since the death of Eric Shaw, have been so difficult for the Iowa City
community. This is a community I have loved for 28 years. With pride I speak of this city to
friends and relatives who have never been hem. My children grew up in this community. They
were fortunate. My mother moved to this commumty from Pennsylvania when she was 82
years old. She learned to love and appreciate all that is so very wonderful about Iowa City. I
suspect that Eric Shaw and his family felt the same way about this city.
I have had limited contact with the police in our city. Each of those interactions have been
positive. One time I was inadvertently a witness to a violent confrontation between two
people in our neighborhood.. I called the police. I was worded because a death threat had been
shouted out. When the police officers who responded to my call later came to ask for room
details about what I had observed, I had no doubt that they were trying their best to fairly
ascertain what had happened. They were asking me to give them my best information so that
they could determine who was the aggressor and who was the victim. I watched them handle
that situation with firmness, but also with care and gentleness (yes) and in a methodical,
nonconfrontational manner. Another time I had to spend time with a police officer regarding a
young (Jr. High age) student who was quite violent. Again I was impressed with the concern the
officer had for all parties involved, and his care about the young person. Some of the members
of our local police for are fine officers who act ~n a professional manner, are reluctant to use
force, are justifiably proud of their choice of profession.
Having said that, l have concerns. Certainly some of those concerns arise from the unnecessary
and tragic death of Eric Shaw. Other problems are also weighing heavily on my mind since that
death. I have repeatedly heard from friends and acquaintances about their perceptions of the
increased use of fome by some police officers in recent years. I have always wanted to
disbelieve those reports. I have defended the police because of my own experiences. Yet,
questions still worried me. Having heard what I heard tonight, it seems that I have generalized
too easily. I have been reluctant to face what others have told me.
The fault and responsibility for Eric Shaw's death and for other misuse of power and, perhaps,
unlawful behavior on the part of some officers (not to mention the inexcusable rudeness and
inappropriate language reportedly used to citizens involved in nonviolent violations) must be
explored soon for our community to heal and to again continue to be the community we all love
so very much. The citizens of Iowa City must know, deserve to know, and must face whatever
the reality is.
Surely it is obvious than an organization should not and cannot be the only chosen investigator
of its own misbehavior. I don't have the professional background nor the knowledge necessary
to tell you what to do. I only know you should do something, and 1 think you should have done
something earlier (namely public13~ communicated your sadness and concern to the family of Eric
Shaw and to the citizens of this community). Now you and the citizens of Iowa City need to
work together to be certain that we all know what happened and what we can expect to have
happen in the future.
One other point. Two years ago the Iowa C!ty Community Schools discussed at great length
the idea of having a police officer (a liaison person, carefully chosen) assigned to each Jr. High
School. As a teacher at South East I supperted that proposal. Many of my friends could not
understand my support. I listened to them carefully and, 1 hope, thoughtfully. 1 still believed
and continue to believe that having a liaison officer from our local police force within the schools
is a good idea. My reasons for that support are as follows. Organizations within communities
need to work together. There is a need for all responsible people within a community to care tbr
our children. I think our police officers should not be a completely separate and apart entity
from the neighborhoods and the schools. In other countries, even those nations that purport to
embrace a democratic system, when the police are viewed as a separate, removed part of the
society at large, infractions, misuse of power, disdain for the citizens, and some type of
"balkanization" tends to occur and lead to a perception of"us" and "them" in a society that
really doesn't want authority to be that much removed from the citizenry. l'm not quite sure
how to state the relationship of this issue to the current problems this city faces, but I tend to
think that there may be a connection.
Thank you for the time you have given this letter. Can't we all find a way to make certain
something good comes from this tragedy? My heart is aching for the Shaw family. And, yes,
my heart is also very sad for Officer Gillaspie

Dear Ms. Carman;
Thank you for writing and sharing your concerns about the behavior of our police officers.
The citizens who spoke to us are obviously concerned about their own experiences as well
as the death of Eric Shaw. We were all impressed by their comments.
The City Council is aware that someone must hear both sides of each report in order to be
fair. We have agreed to form a citizen panel of some sort. I believe that a group such as this
will evaluate the best way to handle future occurrences similar to the reports we heard last
Tuesday.
I would like to assure you that the police department's review of current policies and
procedures is not the only investigation being conducted. The State DCI is investigating the
Eric Shaw death. The City's insurance company is investigating both this case and police
procedures, and they may have an outside consultant as well. This was not entirely clear in
the newspapers.
Though your idea that police have to be seen in the neighborhood and recognized as friends
is being implemented, we don't have it yet in all neighborhoods. I am not sure that we will
be able to reach all schools, but maybe we should try to schedule some regular visits to
schools. In the meantime, officers can be scheduled to visit when requested by your school.
We are all sad about this tragedy, and we hope that a citizen review board can be a way to
have "something good" in the future. Please keep in touch on issues that concern you.

We write in support of our neighbors and friends Stephen Vlastos and Mary
Ann Rasmussen of 1346 Bloomington Street, who have asked the Councg to limit by
ordinance the population of pigeons kept by another neighbor, Mr. Donald Seydel of
1345 Davenport Street, to a maximum of six to ten birds. It is innocuous and
unobjectionable to raise such birds in small numbers as pets, but potential risks to
neighbors' health make it appropriate, even imperative, for local governments to
limit the scale of such projects in residential areas of closely aburting lots.
Comparably-worded regulations are already in force in a number of other mid-

Dear Chief:
Just a note to let you and the officers of the department know
that many sober minds in Iowa City (and elsewhere, I'm sure) are with
you in sympathy and support in this stressful time.
I am~tndful of the many excellent practices the department has
instituted in recent years. Not the least of these, in my view, is the
vigorous enforcement of laws regarding alcohol abuse. We have a major
problem with this in Iowa City, especially among college-age people.
I hope the current criticism of the police (from a relative few, but
enough to fill the council chamber) will not deter you from continuing
the excellent work you have been doing.
I have lived in Iowa City for 28 years and I have never had any-
thing but good, prompt, professional service from the police. We all
know that police work is tough, especially nowadays. I hope the line
officers have ready access to all possible stress-relieving services on
a confidential basis (this latter i~ vital, I suggest).
Sensible people know that errors occur, even tragic errors, but we
don't lose our reason and perspective when that occurs.
All good wishes.
Cordially,
John Mullen
P.S.- I urge you to sha~e this letter with the officers, the manager and

Dear Sir:
This note comes to encourage you and your staff to have confidence in your best
efforts to fulfill your professional duties. Many of us wish to support you in the face
of adversarial criticism from the August 30 case of Eric Shaw.
It is regrettable that some people have channeled their shock and grief into channels
of anger, blame and ahame, and hostility. Such behavior says more about them
than it does about the issue itself. I appreciate efforts to review your procedures and
work toward helpful revisions.
I am concerned for the young police officer, Jeffrey Gillaspie, hoping that he is
receiving healthy support. I could noi help but think how young people in our
society are subject to thousands of images in the media which portray gun-related
incidences. That he called for assistance from fellow officers indicates his best effort
to perform a potentially dangerous task.
Please express my appredation to your staff for their generosity in taking on the too
often "thankless task" of public service in the form of police wore Do keep up your
courage in the face of current hostilities.

I work for Carousel Motors and I was in a dealer car, not my

officer kept insisting that I was driving an unregistered car. All
our cars are registered, they just don't have plates. Upon
contacting an attorney I now realize the violation code includes a
plate being present, but I think a warning might have been a little
more appropriate. I do not condone or excuse what I did but I also
don't feel the penalty fits the "crime." I am hopeful that I was
not made an e~ample of or that Officer %183 was not trying to prove
a point.
I appreciate your time!
Sincerely,
Kirk~h

DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
DAVID J. LYONS, DIRECTOR
RE: Community Economic Betterment Account (CEBA)
Contract # 94-PRO-05: City of Iowa City/Moore Business, Forms
Dear Mayor Horowitz:
It is my pleasure to congratulate you on the successful completion of the above-captioned
project. The Department's review of this project indicates that all activities required by the
CEBA Agreement have been completed and have met or exceeded expectations.
In summary:
The Project Completion Date was February 28, 1996.
The project investment in the Community to date has been at least $ 2,329,000.
The Agreement called for the creation of 130 new FTE jobs and the retention of 50
existing FTE jobs by the end of the project. At the project closeout date, the
business was successful in creating 141 FTE people.
Since all project activities have been completed and verified, the Department has closed
the financial monitoring section of this project file. Thus, the Business and the Community
need only submit annual employment reports. The Department will be monitoring the
project on the fifth anniversary date to determine the Business' employment level at that
time.
We would like to express our thanks to your community development staff and the
Business for their help in monitoring and closing out this project. We look forward to
working with you on future economic development projects. Please do not hesitate to call
me at 515/242-4810 if you should have any questions.
Sincerely,
Program Manager

MEETING MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 3, 1996- 10:00 AM
CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS - CiViC CENTER
Present:
Kevin Burr, Nancy Ostrognai, Tim Clancy, Mike Hoenig, Ethel Madison, Jan
Gorman, Lon Moeller, Keith Ruff, Linda McConnell, Jane Monserud, Richard
Young, Chris O'Hanlon
Those present introduced themselves.
Minutes of the meeting of August 6, 1996, were approved as submitted,
COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Housing: Burr advised that the accessible housing inventory project is nearly complete. They
are waiting for approval from the granting agency, the Presbyterian Committee, for approval
of the format. Once approved, the document will be distributed on a city-wide basis. He raised
the question of whether or not the City of Iowa City might participate in reproducing more
than the 100 copies currently funded in the project budget. Burr will contact City officials
with this request.
Transportation: Clancy advised that the committee had met last month but a miscommunica-
tion resulted in very sparse attendance. Brian McClatchey from CAMBUS advised that they
are looking at a new style coach which is equipped with a ramp rather than a chair lift. They
are seeking feedback from the Transportation Committee and others before deciding if this
would be a viable alternative, It was noted that Bionic Bus service will be reduced as of
August, 1997. The University is currently looking for ways to operate that service in tandem
with the regular CAMBUS service. Ruff advised that he had attended a meeting of the Board
of Supervisors where they discussed a wide array of transit issues, including SEATS. SEATS
riders may reserve transportation up to 15 days in advance. The discussion of the
Supervisors did not focus greatly on SEATS, and there were few people there to object to the
fare increases.
Hoenig asked for furthe[ clarification regarding Bionic Bus service reductions. Clancy advised
that they will not provide area-wide service as they have in the past, but will only match
CAMBUS service as a paratransit service, limiting service to within 3/4 mile from regular
CAMBUS routes.
Clancy raised a concern that ADA guidelines are being implemented in this community in a
way not consistent with the intent of the Act. He will be contacting Federal officials for
clarification of the legislative intent. Burr pointed out that framers of the law should be
contacted in order to best determine original intent. He also noted that any precedent setting
interpretation of the law is established by the U.S. Department of Justice. Various related
precedents likely have been set throughout the country.
Gorman noted that there are a number of University employees who are having greater
difficulty getting to work due to changes in local transit service. She inquired as to whether
anyone had contacted Ruff about this. Ruff advised that they had not.

Public Accommodations: The Guide to Accessibility Features of Restaurants, Cafes, and Bars
in Downtown Iowa City is nearly complete. A final draft was made available and it was
requested that anyone who wished could review the document and suggest revisions. It is
hoped that this is only the beginning and that this document can be expanded in the future.
Madison advised that it will be produced in braille, as well as in large print. This draft will be
made available to all businesses to ensure that all details are accurate and up to date.
Public Relations: The Committee has not met since the last CDRE meeting.

DIAGRAM OF CRB PROCESS
Intake
Complainant has option of meeting with watch commander,
officer, and member of CRB (or ombudsperson or intake person).
* Complainant may mediate at any time before CRB issues recommendation.
Formal complaint filed with CRB.
$
CRB determines whether it has jurisdiction
and notifies complainreit and police department.
Police department investigates complaint. Police department
then reports findings to CRB and Chief of Police informs CRB
of his decision on discipline.
CRB reviews investigation and discipline decision. CRB may then
direct further police investigation or they may do their own further
investigation. Based on the additional investigation, the CRB
may ask the Chief of Police to reconsider discipline decision.
CRB issues "findings of fact" and "reconunendations"
on the Chief of Police's decision.
City Manager may review the Chief of Police's decision
and the CRB's recommendation, and decide on discipline, if any.
If an officer is disciplined, the officer may appeal the decision
to the Civil Service Commission under existing state law.
Draft charge to the proposed Police Citizen's Review Board (PCRB)
Submitted by Councilor Norton, October 2, 1996
A. Receive and deal with complaints lodged against members ofthe Police Department.
1. Conduct brief preliminary investigation to assure proper jurisdiction.
2. Attempt to resolve the issue to the satisfaction of all parties through informal
discussions or mediation. Such steps would involve representatives of the PCRB.
Participate directly with assigned Police Department personnel in the formal
investigation of the complaint/allegations, and in preparation of an investigative report
to be submitted to the Chief of Police. As in mediation steps. such participation would
involve representatives of the Board rather than the full membership.
As a body, review and comment on the investigative report, on the Chiefs comments
accompanying that report, and on actions the Chief proposes to take, including
sanctions, if any, to be imposed.
5. Submit the PCRB review to the Chief for his action, and through the City Manager to
the City Council for information
The Board review may state a need for additional information, or may suggest
alternatives to the Chiefs proposed course of action. The Chief may provide the
additional information and may agree with the Board's suggestions as to a course
of action. Given such agreement, the matter would be closed pending only an
appeal to the Council by the complainant.
If the Chief disagrees with the Board's suggestions, the reasons for doing so are
to be set forth in writing to the Board and to the City Council. The Council then
makes a final decision regarding disposition of the matter.
B. Review policies and procedures governing the actions and activities of employees of the Police
Department, and make recommendation for change to the Chief of Police, the City Manager
and the City Council.
An initial review should focus on policies and procedures most directly related to
recent events in which allegations of police misconduct have arisen. A report is to be
submitted just as soon as tiffs initial review is completed.
Continuing review is to be carried out in connection with the Board's activity in
handling complaints which may be received in the future. Reports are to be submitted
in a timely manner as the Board may decide.
In preparation for each professional accreditation study of the Police Department, the
PCRB is expected to do a five-year review of all policies and procedures of the
Department and submit a summary report.
