the Iowa Avenue Streetscape improvements. If extended another % of a block this project will also benefit the
State Historical Society's building that is affected by exfiltration from the existing storm sewer.
Benton Street - Orchard to Sunset
This is a capacity related improvement identified by the Arterial Street Plan. The pavement condition on the
Benton Street hill also contributes to the need for this project.
Biennial Annual Asphalt and Chipseal
Maintenance of selected streets involving resurfacing and chipseal.
Biennial Brick Street Reconstruction
Removal of concrete and asphalt patches from brick streets is complete (former $25,000/year program). This
program will work to improve the ride of brick streets and provide a more level surface for snow removal.
Biennial Concrete Street Reconstruction

Water Treatment Plant
The project includes the construction of the new water treatment plant.
Waterworks Park - Phase II
Continued development of the City-owned land surrounding the new water treatment plant into a "natural
park."
Waterworks Parkland Development
This project involves the development of the City-owned land surrounding the new water treatment plant into
a "natural park," with prairie grasses, wildflowers, native trees, etc. It will also accommodate a future portion
of the Iowa River Corridor Trail.
West Side Trunk Sewer Upgrade
This project will improve the capacity of the west side trunk sewer from West High School, west access
Highway 218 to facilitate development in this area. Since this sewer carries leachate from the landfill, it is
important to upgrade this sewer before surcharging becomes a problem.
Wetherby Park Development
Develop expanded area acquired in 1996 and undertake improvements in the older section of the park.
Willow Creek Trail - South Riverside Drive to Highway 921
This project will provide a pedestrian/bicycle trail from South Riverside Ddve to Highway 921.
Willow Creek Trail from Highway 1 to Kiwanis Park
This trail will provide a pedestrian/bicycle link from the south side of Kiwanis Park to Highway 1, including
businesses along the north side of Highway 1. This trail helps to link the neighborhood in West Side Park with
Kiwanis Park and Willow Creek Park. The project also forms a link in providing a continuous trail along Willow
Creek from west Iowa City to the Iowa River Corridor Trail.
Willow Creek Trail from Highway 921 to Highway 1
This project will provide a pedestrian/bicycle trail from Highway 921 to Highway 1, generally along Willow Creek
around the perimeter of the Iowa City Municipal Airport. There are existing wetland areas and potential prairie
reserve areas along the Willow Creek corddor that could incorporate a trail. This trail would be an important link in
providing a continuous trail along Willow Creek from west Iowa City to the Iowa River Corridor Trail.

Iowa Cir~l Wastewater and
LanJFill Divisions
Wastewater Treatment Upgrade - Stage I
Since construction began on the South Wastewater Plant in 1988, we have known that additional
projects would follow. In order to fulfill the needs of a changing city and changing
environmental regulations, sewage collection and treatment systems could no longer remain
static for 20 year periods. In fact, the paint was hardly dry on the new plant when the EPA and
DNR announced new ammonia removal standards (1990), for which the "new" plant was
declared "obsolete" in the news.
In 1994, Stanley Consultants completed a Design Outline, on which they were instructed to
produce plans and specifications for a treatment system capable of complying with ammonia
limits. The plans were completed to about 95% in 1996, calling for several phases. Beginning
in 1996, the South River Corridor Interceptor was constructed, tying the City' s two treatment
plants together. The 1996 project, along with the 1998 Willow Creek Sewer project, provides
significant relief on several overloaded sewer trunk lines. (The urgent need for collection
system improvements was made clear by the storms and flooding of 1993.)
In 1995, the City came to an understanding with DNR on the timetable necessary for us to be
reasonably prepared to fund and construct the range of projects identified. The next phase, now
due, is the Stage I upgrading of the treatment plants themselves. The design calls for the
expansion of the South Treatment Plant from 5 MGD to 10 MGD capacity, including ammonia
removal. The aeration system will require about a four fold increase in size, while pumping
systems, clarifiers, and other components will be doubled. The North Treatment Plant capacity
will, however, be reduced by half, in order to achieve ammonia removal in the older trickling
filter process. We have agreed to have the ammonia removal processes up and running
effectively by August, 2002. Another major construction phase, Stage II, is slated for around
2012 - doubling the South Plant again and decomissioning parts of the then to be 77 year old
North Plant.
The treatment plant/process changes will involve some fairly complex and innovative strategies.
Stanley Consultants has worked with our staff to incorporate an energy saving aeration system,
which will recover oxygen from nitrate (NO3) produced by "ammonia removing" bacteria.
Capital costs have been minimized at the North Plant, by planning for a chemical removal
process, breakpoint chlorination, as a back up to the biological process, which can be adversely
affected by winter temperatures.
MF~ORAHDUM
Other treatment modifications have been planned, based on our experience with unique
conditions in Iowa City. Industrial and institutional (UI) contributors are a major part of the
system. Proctor and Gamble alone, accounts for approximately 25% of the present treatment
plant load.
A continuous evaluation of the process, the facilities, and staff is necessary to maintain the
whole operation. Our evaluation has included a look at the approaching system changes also.
Our staff size appears to be appropriate at this time. (Staff training will always continue.) We
are satisfied that the appropriate processes have been selected as well. However, certain
facilities are not yet brought up to the standards that will be required of us, or are not located
prope~y to be efficiently utilized.
Stanley Consultants has completed an outline for the upgrading of additional facilities that we
feel should be constructed at this time. Three areas are addressed: Anaerobic Digester facilities,
Laboratory / Administrative facilities, and Maintenance Shop/Garage facilities.
A full scale Digester complex would provide several benefits. The "wet" side of the treatment
process does not presently have excess or future capacity designed in. With the type of
industrial waste being treated (P&G), we have found that the digesters perform a major share of
the treatment process. Some additional digester capacity will need to be constructed, to continue
to handle the present and immediately foreseeable increases. P&G has forecast a steady increase
in their growth, and subsequent waste treatment needs. With the opportunity to economically
construct full Stage II levels of digester capacity, the City would be prepared to accommodate
the industry needs and obtain the concurrent sewer revenues. Discussions with P&G have
shown that significant amounts oftreatable waste are already being diverted to other municipal
plants. They would welcome the prospect of paying for treatment "at home".
Improved digester capacity at the South Plant, would also allow the earlier
decommissioning of the North Plant Digesters. Digesters working well, are a source of
odor. The North Plant digesters will require a significant amount of maintenance, and
down time in the near future. The opportunity to avoid the odors of anaerobic digestion
in what is almost "downtown" Iowa City, plus passing up additional maintenance on the
63 year old facility is a valuable prospect.
The digestion process would also be improved at a new facility. The Temperature
Phased Digestion process would be capable of producing a high grade "Class A"
biosolids for fertilizer. This product would be approved by DNR/EPA for distribution to
the general public for gardens, parks, golf courses, and to agriculture. The flexibility of
distributing the product in a variety of ways would reduce the cost of present distribution,
as well as making it available again to more people.
A building to house a full featured modem laboratory, operations center, and administrative
offices at the South Plant has been outlined. Presently, our laboratory has been "inserted" into
spaces not originally intended for that purpose. Lab activities have grown simply by the nature
of the environmental regulations guiding the treatment process. Functions take place in the
garage, storage materials are scattered between several buildings. In the last few years, two
MEMORANDUM
instruments ($100,000) were added to the South Plant in the building named the "Sludge
Processing Building". It has been workable but not ideal for the equipment or the analysis.
The majority of the staff have always worked out of the North Plant office, as well. The
entire Division focus will shif~ to the South Plant, however, as it becomes the larger
processing operation. Even now the South Plant has begun to demand higher levels of
operator attention, due to the more complex processes. Maintenance work has also
increased as the facility has aged to the ripe old age of 9 years. (Either they don't make
'em like they used to or the new stuff is more particular.) It is felt the staff will be more
efficient to have all records, manuals, lab results, and supervisors consolidated into one
facility.
A separate building would also house the maintenance shop and vehicle garage. The
Wastewater Division has over 30 pieces of rolling stock and many more large, bulky tools and
supplies. The need for appropriate maintenance facilities has never been formally addressed by
any of the past treatment plant designers. Current facilities do not always permit proper safe
separation of different activities. For example, welding, sand blasting, and painting cannot be
carded out at the same time in our shop, because each of these activities must be done in the
same place. Spare parts are stored in 6 different locations at the Noah Plant.
Stanley Consultants is prepared to consolidate these plans into one set of plans and
specifications. The estimated cost of the basic treatment plant upgrade is $15,100,000. The
cost of the additional facilities outlined is estimated to be $10,600,000. (Total projected cost --
$25,700,000.) The inclusion of both portions would insure the most efficient operation of the
Wastewater Division. The City "atmosphere" would be improved around Clinton, Gilbert St.
and Highway 6. The most efficient use of contractor resources and economy of scale would also
be made. The Wastewater Division would not yet become static, but those facilities would
become an important component of systems that would remain in place for probably the next 50
years.

Summary of JCCOG Highway 965 Extension/Deer Creek Road - Mormon Trek
Boulevard/First Avenue Reconstruction Ad Hoc Committee Activities
At your request, the JCCOG Highway 965 Extension/Deer Creek Road - Mormon Trek
Boulevard/First Avenue Reconstruction Ad Hoc Committee has completed its activities so that
you can receive their recommendations prior to your October 27, 1998 Capital Improvements
Program discussion. The following memoranda summarizes the two meetings which were held,
and the second memo contains items in bold type which are the committee's recommendations.
To refresh your memory, the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board gave the following direction
to the ad hoc committee pertaining to the two projects in question:
1. What is the general scope of the needed improvements to each corridor?.
2. What is the priority with respect to the timing of improvements to each corridor?
3. How should the proposed improvements be financed?
Dee Vanderhoef, Rick Fosse, Karin Franklin, and I will be present at the CIP meeting on the 27th
in case there are any questions.

Notes from August 31, 1998 Deer Creek Road/Mormon Trek Boulevard planning
meeting
The initial meeting of the JCCOG Deer Creek Road/Mormon Trek Boulevard Ad Hoc Planning
Committee was held Monday, August 31, 1998 in the City Manager's Conference Room of the Iowa
City Civic Center.
Present were:
Karin Franklin, Iowa City
Rick Fosse, Iowa City
Dee Vanderhoef, Iowa City
Kelly Hayworth, Coralviile
Dan Holderness, Coralville
John Weihe, Coralville
Mike Gardener, Johnson County
Martin Jones, University Heights
George Hollins, University of Iowa
Jeff Davidson, JCCOG
Absent:
Steve Lacina, Johnson County
Linda Levey, Iowa City Community School District
The next three meetings of the ad hoc committee were set for Wednesday, October 7; Monday,
November 2; and Monday, November 23. All meetings will be held from 3:00-5:00 p.m. in the City
Manager's Conference Room of the Iowa City Civic Center. Davidson outlined the tasks for the
committee, which are essentially to address the following three issues for each of the two corridors:
1. What is the general scope of the needed improvements to each corridor?
2. What is the priority with respect to the timing of improvements to each corridor?
3. How should the proposed improvements be financed?
The two corridor issues were discussed independently.
Deer Creek Road
, Need to discuss with property owners: Tom Scott and Mace Braverman.
· Davidson will circulate a copy of the 965 Extension Plan to all committee members.
Coralville intends to construct 965 extended south of Highway 6 including a new Clear Creek
bridge. From this point south the road would be constructed in conjunction with the
redevelopment of property, with the City of Coralville providing over-width paving expenses.
Deer Creek Rd./Mormon Trek Blvd.
September 2, 1998
Page 2
· There was a weak consensus for the following design parameters: extend 965 south of Highway
6 and across Clear Creek according to the agreement between Coralville, Iowa City, and
Johnson County (urban design standards). Extend a "temporary" rural design road from this
point over to the existing Deer Creek Road alignment. Improve horizontal and vertical geometry
of Deer Creek Road from this point to Melrose and improve with some type of paved surface. No
consensus on appropriate design speed.
· Do not hire engineering firm to refine cost estimate for this alignment until after property owners
have been spoken to, to determine if realignment is a possibility.
· It is not realistic to preserve the entire alignment of the existing Deer Creek Road for trucks, and
construct a second, parallel road for general traffic. Too expensive.
· Have JCCOG recount Deer Creek Road, both north and south of the quarry entrance. May use
County traffic counters if necessary.
· Do not revisit 965 extension corridor alignment issue.
There is nothing in anyone's CIP for Deer Creek Road improvements.
· The existing Deer Creek Road requires a great deal of maintenance expense.
Mormon Trek Boulevard
· If University is to be a financial participant in the reconstruction of Mormon Trek Boulevard, then
transfer of jurisdiction should not be considered until after reconstruction. University Institutional
Road Funds are programmed through 2004. Potential for Coralville, Iowa City, and University to
request special legislative appropriation? George to check with University representatives on
feasibility.
· University uses Institutional Road funds exclusively to build roads. Not possible to incorporate
other program funds into road-building aspects of projects.
· The UI West Campus Planning Framework from 1992 is just that, a framework. Specific plans
currently being developed for athletic facilities take precedent.
· University share of reconstruction expense could be based on pro rata share of total Mormon
Trek traffic from Hawkeye Drive and any additional traffic generated by new development with
direct access to Mormon Trek.
Railroad viaduct expansion is good candidate for a jointly funded project.
Coralville has plans for reconstructing First Avenue from First Street to Clear Creek bridge next
year. Funding is not secured.
Immediate issues are Mormon Trek/Melrose intersection, railroad viaduct, and First Avenue
between railroad viaduct and Highway 6. Except for sidewalks, intervening stretch of Mormon
Trek Boulevard is OK because of controlled access and could wait until a latter phase.
George will provide cost estimate for reconstruction of Mormon Trek Boulevard between Melrose
Avenue and railroad viaduct to four lanes.
Deer Creek Rd./Mormon Trek Blvd.
September 2, 1998
Page 3
· $1.4 million for railroad viaduct reconstruction. TEA-21 innovative bridge program is possibility
for funding.
· Dan will provide cost breakdown of First Avenue reconstruction project between Fimt Street and
Clear Creek bridge.
Other Thoughts
· Both of these projects are possibilities for sales tax funds.
· Tentative priority is that Mormon Trek Boulevard should be done first. 18,000 vehicles per day
compared to 1,200 vehicles per day on Deer Creek Road.

Davidson restated the direction given to the ad hoc committee by the JCCOG Urbanized Area
Policy Board:
1. What is the general scope of the needed improvements to each corridor?
2. What is the priority with respect to the timing of improvements to each corridor?
3. How should the proposed improvements be financed?
Davidson stated at the first meeting held on October 31 he felt there was general consensus
regarding the scope of improvements for the Mormon Trek Boulevard/First Avenue corridor.
Davidson stated he felt much of the discussion at the October 7 meeting would relate to the
scope of the needed improvements for the Highway 965 Extension-Deer Creek Road area.
Fosse asked how the proposed Mormon Trek Boulevard/First Avenue improvements would
relate to what Coralville had planned for the First Avenue corridor. Holderness stated Coralville
intended to move from south to north with the First Avenue improvements.
Davidson stated a cost estimate for the portion of Mormon Trek Boulevard/First Avenue
between the railroad viaduct and Highway 6 had been received from Dan Holderness. Davidson
stated the following was his understanding of the committee's consensus on the Mormon Trek
Boulevard/First Avenue corridor: The proposed improvement project consists of three elements
with the associated cost figures: reconstruct Mormon Trek Boulevard between Melrose Avenue
and the railroad viaduct to a four-lane street with turn lanes and sidewalks ($3.0 million),
expansion of the railroad viaduct to accommodate the four-lane street plus sidewalks ($1.4
million), and reconstruct First Avenue between the railroad viaduct and Highway 6 to a four lane
street with turn lanes and sidewalks ($1.7 million).
Davidson stated he understood jurisdiction for the proposed improvements as follows: Mormon
Trek Boulevard between Melrose Avenue and the railroad viaduct is entirely within the City of
Iowa City. It was expected that the University would contribute all property required for the
project and hopefully come up with some cash contribution. The railroad viaduct is half in Iowa
City and half in Coralville. The railroad had agreed to cooperate with the project but would not
Hwy. 965 Extension Meeting
October 23, 1998
Page 2
be a source of funding. First Avenue between the railroad viaduct and Highway 6 is split down
the centerline between Coralville and Iowa City. It is expected that the University will contribute
all property required and hopefully be a funding contributor for this section as well.
There was concurrence from the committee that the scope of the needed improvements
to the Mormon Trek Boulevard/First Avenue corridor, the estimated expense and the
jurisdiction with respect to funding the proposed improvements were as outlined by
Davidson. The total estimated expense of the Mormon Trek Boulevard/First Avenue
corridor improvements between Melrose Avenue and Highway 6 is $6.1 million.
Davidson stated he perceived sentiment shifting regarding the Highway 965 Extension-Deer
Creek Road corridor, from the notion that Deer Creek Road should be improved in some
fashion, to a preference for completing the extension of Highway 965 between Highway 6 and
Melrose Avenue. Hayworth stated extending Highway 965 would resolve the concern about the
mix of general traffic and traffic from the quarry, the County Secondary Roads Department, and
the landfill. The extension of Highway 965 between Highway 6 and Melrose Avenue would
preserve Deer Creek Road in its existing gravel road status with maintenance by the County.
Davidson stated the extension of Highway 965 would be somewhat unusual because subject to
any annexations by Coralville or Iowa City the road would remain in the unincorporated county.
Davidson stated that the read was approximately half in the Coralville long range growth area
and approximately half in the Iowa City long range growth area. Weihe stated it was unlikely
Coralville would annex both sides of the read because of the quarry.
There was general discussion of the viability of the Highway 965 extension to Melrose Avenue.
Davidson stated the cost estimate for the alignment that had been adopted by Coralville, Iowa
City, and Johnson County was approximately $8.1 million. Holderness stated that it was his
understanding that this was the cost estimate for the extension all the way to Highway 1, but
that he felt certain cost elements had been underestimated. Holderness stated he felt the
$8.1 million was probably a reasonable cost estimate for the Highway 965 extension between
Highway 6 and Melrose Avenue. Davidson stated there were two large structures involved: the
bridge over Clear Creek and the bridge over U.S. 218. Holderness stated he felt the cost
estimate for the bridge over U.S. 218 had been underestimated by the consultant.
Fosse stated that the Highway 965 extension to Melrose Avenue would also require Melrose
Avenue to be improved between the proposed intersection with the 965 extension and U.S. 218.
Fosse stated he felt the expense to reconstruct this segment would be approximately
$1.5 million. Davidson stated this could be included in the proposed cost estimate for the 965
extension.
There was discussion of the relative priority between the Mormon Trek Boulevard/First Avenue
reconstruction and the Highway 965 extension. It was the concurrence of the committee that
the Mormon Trek Boulevard/First Avenue reconstruction was the higher priority project
because of the comparative traffic volumes: 18,000 vehicles per day compared to 1,200
vehicles per day. It was stated that it would take approximately two years to complete each
project. The Mormon Trek Boulevard/First Avenue reconstruction project would likely consist of
reconstruction of the railroad viaduct in the first year, with reconstruction of the associated street
segments in the second year. The Highway 985 extension would likely consist of construction of
the two bridge structures in the first year, with construction of the associated street segments in
the second year. Holderness stated it was possible the Highway 965 extension between
Highway 6 and Melrose Avenue could also take an additional construction season.
Hwy. 965 Extension Meeting
October 22, 1998
Page 3
There was concurrence from the committee that the Highway 965 extension between
Highway 6 and Melrose Avenue should be pursued over the reconstruction of all or a
portion of Deer Creek Road. The extension of Highway 965 should occur on the
alignment agreed to in the 28E Agreement between Coralville, Iowa City, and Johnson
County; the estimated expense of which is $8.1 million. The committee agreed that this
project should also include the reconstruction of Melrose Avenue between the future
Highway 965 intersection and US 218, bringing the estimated total expense to
$9.6 million.
Franklin stated she had discussed improvement of Deer Creek Road with a major property
owner in the area, and the timing was not right for redevelopment activities in the short-range
future. This was an additional reason for keeping the existing alignment of Deer Creek Road
intact. Hayworth stated the Highway 965 extension cost estimate should be verified and an
approximate cost estimate for all or partial reconstruction of Deer Creek Road be developed for
comparative purposes. Davidson stated he would work with Rust Environment and
Infrastructure consultants to get this information.
Davidson asked for discussion on the appropriate funding of the Highway 965 extension.
Davidson stated both the Highway 965 extension and the Mormon Trek Boulevard/First Avenue
reconstruction projects had been discussed as joint projects for the local option sales tax.
Weihe, Lacina, and Vanderhoef stated that these projects could be presented to the voters as
ones which could be completed sooner than anticipated if a local option sales tax was
approved. Franklin stated she felt the 965 extension project was appropriate to be funded one-
third by Coralville, one-third by Iowa City, and one-third by Johnson County.
Lacina stated he could not speak for the entire Board of Supervisors, but that he felt it was
unlikely Johnson County would participate in the 965 extension project unless it was in
conjunction with the local option sales tax. Coralville and Iowa City representatives stated the
965 extension project might still be completed eventually but not as soon as with the local option
sales tax. Davidson stated the Highway 965 extension was within the long-range growth areas
of Coralville and Iowa City. State funding was discussed, and it was agreed that this was
unlikely given the State's desire to transfer jurisdiction of Highway 965 to Coralville as was done
in North Liberty.
It was the concurrence of the committee that the 965 extension project between
Highway 6 and Melrose Avenue should be completed rather than the improvement of all
or part of Deer Creek Road. It was reiterated that this should be a second priority to the
Mormon Trek Boulevard/First Avenue reconstruction. It was agreed that funding of both
the Mormon Trek Boulevard/First Avenue reconstruction and the Highway 965 extension
between U.S. Highway 6 and Melrose Avenue were appropriate joint projects for the local
option sales tax.
jccogtp/mem/965mtgsum.doc
Note: Research subsequent to this meeting yielded the following: The cost estimate for paving
all of Deer Creek Road to County rural design standards is $4.2 million. The cost estimate for
paving the Highway 965 extension (urban design standards) south across C/ear Creek, then
angling over to Deer Creek Road and paving the remainder of Deer Creek Road south of this
point to rural design standards is $3.7 million. The cost estimate for constructing the Highway
965 extension between Highway 6 and Me/rose Avenue, and reconstruction of Me/rose Avenue
from this point to U.S. 218 is $8.2 million.

City of Iowa Census 2000 Committee Information
The City of Iowa City has initiated the formation of a local Census 2000 Committee to
handle the information, publicity and educational activities for Iowa City for the
upcoming federal Census 2000. As City Clerk for the City of Iowa City, I am chairing the
Iowa City Census 2000 Committee. Our tentative plans are to formally activate our
local Iowa City Census 2000 Committee in early January, 1999. Although the Iowa
City Census 2000 Committee is being established to handle activities for Iowa City, we
would like to invite you to attend our Census 2000 Committee meetings in an non-
official capacity to share information and ideas regarding Census 2000. An example
might be bulk ordering of some census supplies for all of our communities or creating a
county wide speakers bureau.
Currently Iowa City city staff is working on Census 2000 Address Review Program,
verifying local Iowa City addresses for the actual Census 2000. Again, this is an
administrative requirement being handled by Iowa City staff. I have been in contact with
the federal and regional Census 2000 offices to establish a timeline for our local Iowa
City Census 2000 committee activities. If you are interesting in receiving information
and meeting time schedules, please fill in the information attached and retum to me. I
appreciate your consideration and look forward to heating from you. Thank you.

Census 2000 Committee Update
Thank you for agreeing to participate on the Iowa City Census 2000 Committee. The
Iowa City Census 2000 Committee is slowly getting underway.
Currently city staff is working on Census 2000 Address Review Program, verifying local
addresses for the Census 2000, with a deadline of December 17, 1998. This is an
administrative requirement and being handled by City staff.
I have been in contact with the federal and regional Census 2000 offices to establish a
timeline for our local Census 2000 committee activities. Our tentative plans are to
formally activate our local Census 2000 Committee in early January, 1999, then
schedule subsequent monthly morning meetings.
As you know, our local Census 2000 Committee still needs representation from women
and minorities. Please forward any recommendations for additional members to my
office. Contact me at 356-5041.
Again, I will send a schedule for the formal kickoff date after the first of the year. I will
also plan to send out periodic updates as I hear from the federal and regional Census 2000
offices.
I look forward to working with you on the Iowa City Census 2000 Committee. Thank you
for agreeing to help on this project.

Re: Spot Speed Study on US Highway 6
Dear Newman:
I am in receipt of your letter of October 9, 1998 recommending modification in the speed
limit on US Highway 6. I have discussed this matter with the City Engineer, and we concur
with the reduction in the speed limit to 45 mph to a point approximately 750 feet east of
Heinz Road. You may proceed to erect the appropriate signage at your convenience.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Re: Traffic Signal Coordination Projects
Over the past year two traffic signal coordination projects have been implemented with great
success. Burlington Street from Madison Street to Gilbert Street and Melrose Avenue from
Melrose Court to Koser Avenue in University Heights have been added to the list of coordinated
signal systems. Other coordinated systems include the Highway 1/US 6 bypass, Jefferson and
Market Streets, and Gilbert Street north of Burlington Street.
The advantages of coordinated traffic signal corridors are shorter travel times, reduced
emissions, and reduced motorist frustration. Over the next few months Riverside Drive will be
evaluated for traffic signal coordination, with possible 1999 implementation.
There are other corridors which are likely candidates for interconnection and coordination. They
are Burlington Street east of Gilbert Street to Summit Street, First Avenue from US 6 to
Muscatine Avenue, Dubuque Street from Park Road to Jefferson Street, and Gilbert Street from
Bowery Street to US 6. We will investigate these corridors as time permits, and bring projects to
you for coordination as they are developed. These are typically relatively low-cost
improvements.
We will also ensure the safety and convenience of pedestrians and bicyclists in these corridors
as traffic signal projects are developed. Let me know if you have any questions.

Re: Iowa DOT Top 100 Crash Sites 1992-1996
Recently the Iowa Department of Transportation released the list of the top 100 traffic accident
locations in the entire state from 1992-1996. Of the Top 100, only one intersection in Iowa City,
the intersection of Dubuque Street and Jefferson Street, was included. This intersection was
ranked 76th out of the top 100.
After receiving this information, a detailed accident analysis was completed and it showed the
predominant accident type involved a vehicle eastbound on Jefferson making a left turn out of
the wrong lane. To help correct this situation, arrows were added on the traffic signals to identify
which lanes should be used for left and right turns.
The intersection will be monitored to verify the impact of the changes. Please call me at 356-
5254 if you have any questions.

Re: Iowa City Sdence Center
In response to your note about the Sdence Center, I have suggested to Jim Larew
that he could make a proposal to the Commission whenever he is ready to proceed. I
think the Commission has made a commitment to have the Center in the North
Commercial area (NCA) in a location that would suit their needs.
The last time I met with MMS to discuss the design of the infrastructure for the NCA,
the drawing indicated the Sdence Center would be located in the southeast comer of
the property, just west of Iowa Jet Services.
VVhenever the Science Center is ready with a proposal, I will schedule it on the
Commission's agenda. I told Jim that he should discuss the size and height of an
IMAX theater with someone from the Planning Department to see if the height of the
building would meet the appropriate zoning. It is my understanding that the theater is
the equivalent of a five-story building. VVhen he has determined where he would like
the Sdence Center buildings, the FAA will conduct an airspace study to make sure
the buildings are compatjble with the Airport.
Jim indicated that an IMAX representative would be in Iowa City sometime in the next
few weeks. This would be a good opportunity to meet with City staff and discuss the
Sdence Center's plans and building schedule.
I do not know where the funding will come from for the Sdence Center. The
Commission has made it dear to Jim that they will require fair market rent for any
Airport property leased to the Sdence Center.

RE: Cardboard
Dear Erni e and Mike:
Gent] omen, fen once I am i n agreement with takl nga zero- to] erance at the l andfi ] ]
on the cardboard issue. In my opinion, it is one of the easiest items to recycle.
Anyone can understand that it is very bulky and very inefficient to use up vital
landfill space with that type of material when it could/should be recycled. This is
not a di ffi cult job.
At home or apartment one can use the larger boxes to hold smaller boxes and do a
pyramid situation and then take it to either City Carton or have the city pick it
up.
Let's stay after this and I will do what I can to help in that regard.

Michael R. Robinson Application to the c~ c~
Iowa City Human Rights Commission ~c, c-, L,~,~
In 1993-94, I participated in a Leadership Training Program sponsored by .~e Fed~ati~'~
County, California. ~ ~
From 1993-1997, I served on the Board of Directors for the Elections Committee of the
County of Orange CECCO"), which was a political action committee created to eliminate
discrimination based upon sexual orientation, gender and health status (primarily HIV
status). During this time, I wore different hats ranging from the Newsletter Editor to the
Treasurer, and eventually the Chair.
From 1995-1996, I represented ECCO by serving as its delegate to the LIFE Lobby
(Lobby for Individual Freedom and Equality). LIFE was a California state-wide coalition
of groups united to lobby and monitor the state legislature on issues of concern to the
gay/lesbian/transgender and HIV communities. The various member groups reflected the
diverse ethnic, religious, political
In March of 1995, I earned my B.A. degree in Political Science from the University of
California at Irvine, with concentrations in pre-law.
#2
When my partner, Tom, was applying to different Ph.D. programs last spring, we looked
at the quality of life in the various cities in order to make a 5-6 year commitment to a place
to live. In our explorations, mostly via the Intemet, we discovered the Iowa City Human
Rights Ordinance, and literature on the Commission. In all honesty, this was one of the
greater qualifying factors in our decision to move to Iowa City. Since I have been here, I
have picked up the literature on the Commission available at City Hall, and am limitedly
kept apprised of its activities through the newspaper and television. (We are now looking
at real estate to settle down here.)
#3
My reasons for applying are quite simple. When I left California, I had pretty much been
burnt out on the state-wide pressures of turning our work in the human rights arena into a
competition for dwindling funds and other resources. I needed a rest, and I felt that many
of the goals our organization had set out to reach in 1982 had been met.
However, the same day I read about the positions coming open on the Human Rights
Commission in Iowa City is the same day I learned that Matthew Shepard had died of his
injuries in Wyoming. Unlike many others, I felt no rage -- only sadness. I am convinced
that no civil ordinances of protection will end the hatred in people's hearts. This is
especially true if the ordinances remain un-enforced. Iowa City seems to be a place where
people of all kinds can live with the assured protection that Iowa City will enforce its laws
and not turn a blind eye to the hatred that is present in every city. Our laws against
discrimination have true efficacy, real "teeth" in its bite.
I feel that my experiences, both as a gay man and from working with VERY different
groups of people in California, have served me well to understand that the crime against
Matthew Shepard is not outrageous because it was a hate-crime against a homosexual.
Rather, it is outrageous because we as human beings are capable of killing those that are
different than us. This is not just a problem of "those" people in "that" state, but something
with which we all have to come to personal terms. Even in the relative safety of Iowa City,
with its value of cultural diversity, to give an inch is to give an mile. Therefore, I would

EXPERIENCE AND/OR ACTIVITIES WHICH YOU FEEL QUALIFY YOU FOR THIS POSITION
I have been on the Commission for the past four years, and have made every effort to become
informed about the issues current and past which have come before it, from the Oakland
Cemetery expansion to the new ScanIon Gymnasium to the Neighborhood Open Space Plan. I
have felt honored to participate in decisions which continue to enhance the quality of life in our
community as we have worked to maintain and extend the opportunities for recreational
activities. I worked on the subcommittees for the Neighborhood Open Space Plan and the Butler
House utilization. I have had the opportunity to live in Europe on several occasions for a year,
and to visit extensively in other parts of the country (San Francisco, Seattle), and feel the
exposure to recreational opportuities in other areas brings a helpful perspective to my work on
the commission.
WHAT IS YOUR PRESENT KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ADVISORY BOARD? The present board is a congenial
group of people and we are fortunate to have the resources of very knowlegable and capable
professionals, Mr. Trueblood and Mr. Moran, to name just two. Commission members come
from different perspectives and have different priorities, but we are able to state our differences
and discuss them amiably and productively.
WHAT CONTRIBUTIONS DO YOU FEEL YOU CAN MAKE TO THIS ADVISORY BOARD?
I am interested in following through on the many projects and areas about which I've acquired
so background knowledge and experience, including continuing support for the trail system,
cooperation between the school system and the city, and neighborhood open space allocations,
to name a just a few.
