Re:
Agreement between the City of Coralville and the City of Iowa City providing for future
annexations and extraterritorial review of subdivision plats
Following your adoption of this agreement at your January 26, 1999 City Council meeting, the
Coralville City Council considered this agreement at their meeting on February 9. They decided
to defer consideration of the agreement until their April 13 City Council meeting. This will allow
the discussion of the proposed extension of Oakdale Boulevard between Dubuque Street and
Prairie Du Chien Road to occur at the March 24 JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board meeting.
Let me know if you have any questions regarding this matter.

Eleanor Dilkes of Iowa City
Mr. David Beckman
President, Iowa State Bar Association
314 N. Fourth Street
Burlington, IA 52601-0578
President Beckman, and Officers of the ISBA:
I write to you all, as a university of Iowa law student, future attorney,
and concerned citizen, in the matter of Eleanor Dilkes, the City Attorney
for the city of Iowa City, Iowa.
As you may know, ever since the fatal shooting of Mr. Eric Shaw in the
summer of 1996, the tension between police and various civic and
demographic groups has been high in Iowa City. Where many people in Iowa
City have sought ways to learn from that tragedy and diffuse civic
animosity certain events over the past year have detracted from those aims.
While the police had to deal with the very serious problem of illegal drug
trafficking recently, certain officers have been reported to the
Police-Citizen's Review Board for alleged misconduct. Although such
incidents were isolated, it added to the general environment of mistrust.
Given these tensions, the City Attorney Eleanor Dilkes has neglected her
ethical responsibilities as recorded in the Iowa Code of Professional
Responsibility for Lawyers.
In the fall of 1998, Ms. Dilkes proposed and the City Council adopted
language that allows police officers to cite residents for maintaining a
disorderly house (for having a loud party) without a citizen or
neighborhood complaint. Furthermore, the ordinance authorized police to
issue tickets to persons who would not disburse from a disorderly house -
even it if was their residence! Such a law, while problematic, was also
overtly in conflict with the state code against public drunkenness. That
is, a person could be legally consuming alcohol in their residence, attempt
to comply with a disbursement order, and hence be cited for public
drunkenness. In a college town like Iowa City, where police routinely
conduct raids on local taverns and student parties, an ordinance that gives
the police carte blanche to issue citations (without regard to neighborhood
complaint) is not in the best interests of the community. In proposing
this expanded police power Ms. Dilkes neglected to research the legal or
social effects of similar laws in other college towns. Given the potential
for abuse of such a law, its proposal at this time was clearly unwise if
not improper.
More recently in February of 1999, Ms. Dilkes made public comment about the
practices of the Police Citizen's Review Board. Members of the Board, in
an effort to create open and democratic processes with which to review
alleged police misconduct, recommended to the City Council that there
should be some system to identify officers accused of misdeeds. In an
article by a Mr. Kucharski printed in the Daily lowan (1 February), Ms.
Dilkes is reported to have said, "the identification of an officer [in a
PCRB report] could also [sic] result in prejudice and bias against officers."
I found the comments of Ms. Dilkes to be of a most disingenuous and
hypocritical nature. One the one hand, state attorneys regularly publish
and release names of people merely accused of criminal violations based
upon meager evidence and or anonymous tips. As well, newspapers regularly
print the names of persons simply arrested for offenses like public
intoxication, and even child endangerment, where the accused are "convicted
in the court of public opinion." But more significantly, anyone wrongly
accused, or acquitted has practically no recourse to restore their name or
social standing. While Ms. Dilkes does not make any effort to address
these phenomena, she spoke openly about protecting potentially innocent
officers. Rather than support a citizen initiative to have police subject
to a process of independent and public review, she advocates that city
offices protect those with the most authority, power, and ease to abuse
others.
Ms. Dilkes' public advocacy for her clients (the police) in both these
instances was in complete contradiction with Ethical Consideration 8-1 of
the Code of Professional Responsibility. The significant section of EC 8-1
reads,
[b]y reason of education and experience, lawyers are especially qualified
to recognize deficiencies in the legal system and to initiate corrective
measures therein. Thus they should participate in proposing and supporting
legislation and programs to improve the system, without regard to the
general interests or desires of clients...
Instead of working to improve legal practices in general, and-the presently
strained police-community relations of Iowa City in particular, Ms. Dilkes
has used her privilege and position to exacerbate our difficulties. Though
I do not know of the range of possible sanctions employed by the ISBA
against its members, and do not suggest that I have standing to judge her,
I think it imperative that appropriate members of the ISBA investigate Ms.
Dilkes' actions and their consequences.
Sincerely,
John Calvin Jones

City Council and City Manager
Revisions osed Three-Year Financial
Plan and Capital Improvements Program Budget Through Fiscal Year 2003
A public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, February 23, 1999, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council
Chambers regarding the adoption of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2000 budget, the FY2000, FY2001, and
FY2002 three-year financial plan, and the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) budget through
FY2003. This packet includes the public hearing notice that will appear in the newspaper on
Friday, February 12, 1999, and the forms that are required by the State to be filed with the
adoption resolution.
The attached schedules highlight the changes that have occurred in the FY2000, FY2001, and
FY2002 three-year financial plan and the CIP budget between December 1998 and the City
Council's review and recommendations.
Please note that the FY2000 property tax levy rate is set at $14.05250 per $1,000 of taxable
assessed valuation, compared to $13.13343 in FY99. The proposed levy rate of $14.05250
reflects a savings of $104,931 or 6 cents to property taxpayers as a result of full reimbursement by
the state for various property tax credits, including homestead, age & income (A&I credit), military
and disabled veterans. The 6 cent reduction in the levy rate was accomplished by reducing the
employee benefits levy by $104,931. The levy reduction of $104,931 is our estimate of 50% of the
additional property tax credits for FY2000. The FY2000 tax levy request and total expenditures by
expenditure program as published in the newspaper for the public hearing cannot be increased
but can be reduced prior to final approval.
Final City Council approval of the FY2000 budget, three-year financial plan, and multi-year CIP
plan is scheduled for March 2, 1999. Two resolutions will be presented for your approval. The first
resolution will approve the FY2000 budget. The second resolution will approve the FY2000 to
FY2002 three-year financial plan and also the multi-year Capital Improvements Program budget
through FY2003.
Please contact me at 356-5052 or Deb Mansfield at 356-5051 if you have any questions.

City Council /
Saddlebrook Rezoning ~
Given the City Attorney's advice that Iowa Code Section 414.28 and 414.28A do not compel a
rezoning of the property in question, the decision of the City Council falls under the precepts of
any zoning question -- is there a good reason, in the public interest, to change the zoning
currently in place?; Is the zoning requested consistent with the Comprehensive Plan?
The sixty acres in question is currently zoned to permit duplex and/or single-family residences at
a density of approximately eight dwellings units/acre. The proposed rezoning contemplates
single-family units at a density of no more than eight dwelling units/acres on 58 acres and multi-
family on two acres at a density of eight dwelling units/acre. The differences between the
current zoning and the proposed conditional RFBH zoning is that minimum lot sizes are 4,000
square feet rather than 5,000 square feet, minimum lot widths are 35 feet rather than 45 feet,
mobile homes and single-wide manufactured homes less than 20 feet in width would be
permitted, and the interior streets (those which do not connect with other parts of the
community) will be private and built to a different standard than public streets. Some of these
variations are typical of what is seen in a planned development, e.g. private streets and
commonly owned land.
In deciding whether a change in zoning is appropriate, the issue is whether circumstances and
conditions justify the action and the action is in the public interest, i.e., the change has some
benefit to the community. Is a community need being met? Is the use of the land enhanced by
the change? These are issues of judgment and discretion on the part of the Commission and
the City Council that are guided by your policy documents. The developers have argued during
the public hearing that there are benefits to the change, many of which are public benefits. The
neighborhood residents who spoke disagree. In the staffs evaluation of this project, we have
looked at the benefit of developing single-family manufactured housing in a different way than it
has been done traditionally. In the proposal, manufactured housing is not developed in an
insular park, but is opened out to connect to and become part of one of our City's
neighborhoods. We believe there are benefits to this in providing another type of housing
accessible to various segments of our community without sacrificing the connectedness we are
trying to achieve as we build new neighborhoods.
Assuming that there may be some benefits to a zone change, the 1997 Iowa City: Beyond 2000
Comprehensive Plan and the South District Plan are the relevant guides to the next step in
decision making -- is the change consistent with the Comprehensive Plan? The following
principles are articulated in these plans:
Detached, single-family housing will be the predominant land use in the South District.
Locate this type of housing primarily in the central portions of the neighborhood away from
arterial streets.
Use small lot, single-family housing and duplex development to serve as a gradual, density
progression between single-family homes located more centrally in the neighborhood and
the multi-family or townhouse buildings located near the commercial center or along arterial
streets.
Low to medium density multi-family housing in the form of townhouses and small apartment
buildings at the edges of the neighborhood along arterial streets...Limit the size of individual
parcels zoned for such development, so that the scale of buildings is compatible with
surrounding uses and the traffic generated from such developments is adequately
accommodated.
· Provide landscaped front yards and parking in the rear for townhouse and modest-sized
apartment buildings that face arterial streets.
Design medium density housing to be similar in height and appearance. to large, single-
family housing. Use design guidelines, such as requirements for the placement of parking
behind buildings, and provisions for attractive visible entryways on multi-family buildings, to
help ensure that such buildings are compatible in design with nearby lower density housing.
· Ensure a variety of housing stock and provide controls in scale and density by providing
small multi-family lots...
· Improve the appearance of streetscapes by using alleys for access to garages. This is
especially important for residential developments with narrow lots.
· Duplex or small lot single-family residential uses are noted on the Land Use map of the
South District Plan for the area under construction
Arrange local residential streets in a modified grid pattern. Enhance the local neighborhood
streets and encourage pedestrian activity by narrowing the pavement, providing trees,
benches and attractive lighting along the streets, and encourage alternatives, such as alleys
or narrow drives at the side of the house to access a recessed or rear yard garage, and to
minimize extensive curb cuts and paved front yards.
The rezoning request before you provides an extension of the existing Saddlebrook
development and integration, through the public street pattern, of the single-family units found
there and in the area under consideration with the Whispering Meadows Neighborhood to the
north. Provision of open space will be required with the platting of this residential area as with
any residential subdivision. Modifications in the orientation of garages to the street have been
required to enhance the pedestrian orientation of the neighborhood and improve the
appearance of the streetscape. The use of alleys is required along most of the collector street
system. Townhouses or multiple units will be provided at the intersection of the planned
collector and arterial streets to provide some variation in housing type in this area.
Staff Recommendation
With the provisions of the Conditional Zoning Agreement, which the developer has conceded to,
the staff is recommending approval of this rezoning. We believe there is some benefit to the
change, as outlined above, and that the proposal that is before the City Council is consistent
with the South District Plan.

The Honorable Chair Lea Supple and Members of the Planning and Zoning
Commission
Sarah E. Holecek, First Assistant City Attorney~vZ<t/"
Legal considerations and appropriate criteria for assessing merits of proposed
Saddlebrook rezoning from RS-8 to RFBH
As you know, Lake Calvin Properties has requested that the City rezone approximately 61.8
acres located south of Whispering Meadows Drive from Medium Density Single-Family
Residential (RS-8) to Factory Built Housing Residential (RFBH - 59.25 acres) and Low Density
Multi-Family Residential (RM-12 - 2.55 acres). The current RS-8 zoning designation was
established in 1994 when the subject property was annexed into the City as part of a larger
244 acre parcel, for which the applicant presented an overall zoning plan reflecting a diverse
mix of housing for this area of the city.
This rezoning application has been the subject of extensive discussions regarding the
appropriate criteria to be applied in assessing the merits of the rezoning application, as well
as the legal implications of specific statutes governing zoning and manufactured housing.
First, I will outline some specific legal principles relating to the rezoning process, and will then
discuss the types of considerations which are appropriate in assessing the merits of any
rezoning application. Lastly, I will discuss the legal implications and limitations of Iowa Code
§§ 414.28 and 414.28A (1998), which specifically prohibit discrimination against
manufactured housing structures and land-leased communities in zoning regulations.
I. GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF ZONING LAW:
First, it is a well-settled principle of zoning law that the zoning designation in place on a
particular tract is presumed appropriate and in furtherance of the public health safety and
welfare. Next, as zoning decisions are clearly within the discretion of the local legislative body
(i.e City Council), a council may amend such classifications any time it deems circumstances
and conditions warrant such action in light of the public health, safety and welfare. Zoning
decisions by a governing body will not be disturbed by a court on appeal unless the party
challenging the decision shows it is "unreasonable, arbitrary, capricious ordiscriminatory, with
no reasonable relationship to the promotion of public health, safety or welfare." See, Shriver
v. City of Okoboii, 567 N.W.2d 397,401 (1997). Further, if the reasonableness of the zoning
decision is fairly debatable and the decision is facially valid, the court will not substitute its
judgment for that of the zoning authority and interfere with the city's action. Id~ A zoning
decision is fairly debatable if the evidence provides a basis for a fair difference of opinion, and
such a decision is racially valid "if it has any real, substantial relation to the public health,
comfort, safety, and welfare, including the maintenance of property values." See, Neuzil v.
City of Iowa City, 451 N.W.2d 159,164 (Iowa 1990). Moreover, "even though a challenged
zoning [decision] adversely affects a property interest or prohibits the most beneficial use of
the property, a court should not, for that reason alone, strike it down." Id.
In short, it is the burden of a rezoning applicant to show that the proposed classification is
more beneficial to the public interest or clearly furthers the intent of the zoning ordinance
better than the existing zoning classification. Where weighing these factual determinations
brings fairly debatable results, the determination of the local body will be upheld as long as
those voting articulate valid reasons for voting for or against the application. Of course, this
decision must be based on facts, professional opinion, and sound land use policies, not on
pure speculation and conjecture.
II. VALID CRITERIA FOR ASSESSING THE MERITS OF A LAND-USE APPLICATION:
While not exhaustive, the following are valid considerations when assessing the merits of a
land-use application:
Impact of any rezoning action on the environment and the infrastructure.
Adequacy of existing infrastructure and costs of providing infrastructure to the
area to be rezoned are legitimate concerns, particularly when an increase in
zone intensity is requested.
Does the proposed zoning classification further the public safety, health and
welfare?
3. Traffic, transportation and congestion concerns.
Population density.
5. Drainage and impact on waterways or surface water drainage.
6. Appropriateness of the permitted land uses for the area being considered.
Compatibility with the spirit of the Comprehensive Plan and/or the appropriate
District plan.
8. Existing land uses of abutting property and surrounding areas.
Negative externalities associated with the proposed use, such as noise, odors,
lights, pollutants, etc.
10. Impact on property values of abutting property and surrounding neighborhood.
11.
Whether uses permitted in the proposed rezoning classification are compatible
with existing and proposed uses in the surrounding area.
12.
Whether substantial and reasonable grounds have been presented and
discussed to justify rezoning the property, or for denying the same.
13.
Will the rezoning permit the owner reasonable use of its property and/or does
such rezoning reflect the wishes of the residents of the territory to be rezoned?
INVALID CRITERIA
Conversely, I wish to point out some considerations are NOT VALID when assessing the
merits of a land-use application:
Ownership of the subject property (i.e. Owner-occupied v. rental property v.
land leased community (see discussion below)).
Private financing for the development of the subject property (i.e. Housing
credits/subsidies for development).
3. Income levels, race or ethnicity of likely inhabitants of the subject property.
In zones permitting detached, single-family homes, whether the STRUCTURE
to be placed on the subject property is stick-built or manufactured (see
discussion below).
III. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF IOWA CODE §§ 414.28 and 414.28A
For your information, I have attached a copies of Iowa Code § § 414.28 and 414.28A (1998),
which specifically prohibit the use of zoning regulations to discriminate against manufactured
housing structures in single-family zones and land-leased communities. There has been
significant discussion regarding the meaning of these particular sections within Chapter 414,
and it is the considered opinion of the City Attorney's Office that these sections do not compel
a local authority to grant an application for rezoning from single-family residential to factory-
built housing residential. Rather, we interpret these sections as clearly indicating that a local
authority may not exclude detached, single-family factory built structures from zones
permitting detached single-family homes by right through the use of foundation, construction,
building, or design ordinances mandating standards incompatible with generally accepted
manufactured housing construction principles. It is our considered opinion that all of the bases
upon which the merits of a rezoning request are considered remain intact, and that a local
authority may continue to adopt zoning regulations "related to transportation, water,
sewerage, or other land development."
Iowa Code §414.28A extends this prohibition against discrimination in zoning and subdivision
regulations to land-leased communities which contain manufactured housing. Specifically,
when making a determination on a rezoning or subdivision application for a land-leased
community, the local authority cannot base a denial on the type of housing to be included
within the property. Rather, a local authority must articulate objective, valid considerations
for such a denial, other than the fact that the housing or structures within the development
will be factory-built/manufactured. Again, I wish to note that this does section does not
compel a local authority to approve an application for a land-leased, manufactured housing
community, as the burden is on the applicant to show that circumstances warrant the change
of the current zoning designation.
It is important to note that the interpretation of the above code sections is currently being
litigated between the City of North Liberty and AI Streb as a result of North Liberty's denial
3
of a rezoning request for more manufactured housing within the City. This suit was submitted
to the Johnson County District Court on February 15, 1999, and the parties are awaiting a
decision. Of course, the Strebs, as plaintiffs in the above action, are posing the interpretation
that said sections require a city to treat manufactured housing preferably and to rezone for the
same upon request. However, these sections must be interpreted within the meaning and
intent of Iowa Code Chapter 414 as a whole, and to interpret said sections in this particular
manner effectively eviscerates the legislative discretion of the local body with respect to
zoning decisions affecting manufactured housing as is clearly granted by Iowa Law. In short,
while the meaning of these sections is being contested, we believe the interpretation being
forwarded by the Manufactured Housing Association and Strebs clearly runs counter to the
general principles of zoning law and is not supported by the language of the sections
themselves.
If you have any questions regarding these matters, please feel free to contact me. Also, I will
be available at the City Council/Planning and Zoning Commission joint meeting on Monday,
February 22.

CHAPTER 414
CITY ZONING
414.28 Manufactured home.
A city shall not adopt or enforce zoning regula-
tions or other ordinances which disallow the plans
and specifications of a proposed residential struc-
ture solely because the proposed structure is a
manufactured home. However, a zoning ordinance
or regulation shall require that a manufactured
home be located and installed according to the
same standards, including but not limited to, a per-
manent foundation system, set-back, and mini-
mum square footage which would apply to a site-
built, single family dwelling on the same lot, and
shall require that the home is assessed and taxed
as a site-built dwelling. A zoning ordinance or other
regulation shall not require a perimeter foundation
system for a manufactured home which is incom-
patible with the structural design of the manufac-
tured home structure. A city shall not require more
than one permanent foundation system for a
manufactured home. For purposes of this section, a
permanent foundation may be a pier footing
foundation system designed and constructed to be
compatible with the structure and the conditions of
the site. When units are located outside a mobile
home park, requirements may be imposed which
ensure visual compatibility of the permanent
foundation system with surrounding residential
structures. As used in this section, "manufactured
home" means a factory-built structure, which is
manufactured or constructed under the authority
of 42 U.S.C. § 5403 and is to be used as a place for
human habitation, but which is not constructed or
equipped with a permanent hitch or other device
allowing it to be moved'other than for the purpose
of moving to a permanent site, and which does not
have permanently attached to its body or frame
any wheels or axles. This section shall not be
construed as abrogating a recorded restrictive cov-
enant.

Dear Iowa City City Council members:
At the February 11, 1999 meeting, the Neighborhood Council of Iowa
City (NCIC) discussed the current rezoning proposal regarding the
Lake Calvin Properties (Saddlebrook). We have concerns about this
proposal and urge the City Council to deny the rezoning application
of Saddlebrook (REZ98-0011), also known as Lake Calvin Properties.
Foremost, we are concerned that an approval of the rezoning
proposal would supersede the District Plans that are already in place
and set a dangerous precedent of overriding the goals and the
purpose of District Planning. NCIC is concerned that the validity of
the Comprehensive Plan and District Plans will be placed in jeopardy
if the rezoning is approved. Second, we agree with the citizens of
the Grant Wood Neighborhood Association, Wetherby Friends and
Neighborhood and the Pepperwood Neighborhood Association that if
the Saddlebrook measure is passed this would not promote
"diversity" but additional subsidized, low income, affordable and
RFBH housing that will overbalance the South District's proportion of
such housing.
The Neighborhood Associations appreciate the opportunity to
participate in the District Planning Process that gives citizens an
opportunity to say how we envision our neighborhoods and how to
plan the direction of future growth. Our experience working with
City staff on these plans has been positive and we hope this
relationship continues to grow in the future. Neighborhoods who
have completed district plans are excited about the use of these plans
to implement positive changes. Should the plans be overridden
much of the enthusiasm and participation in the planning will suffer.
We believe that expressing a firm belief in the planning process and
active support of the finished plans is very important to the positive
growth of Iowa City.

We note that the South District plan calls for a diversity in housing. Over the
years, the South District has absorbed, by far, a greater amount of subsidized, low
income, affordable and RFBH housing than any other area in Iowa City. We feel
that any further concentration of such housing will significantly impair this
district's ability to attract new housing targeted at other income groups. Further,
this trend concentrates such housing in one area rather than creating a diversity of
housing throughout the city.
NCIC respectfully requests that the City Council deny the application of
Saddlebrook (REZ98-0011) also know as Lake Calvin Properties. There is a vital
need to see the district plans upheld in decisions by the Planning and Zoning
Commission and supported by the City Council.
We appreciate your time and consideration of this request.

Proposed Transit Route Changes
As directed, the following guidelines were used in developing the proposed transit route
changes: (1) continue blanket coverage over the City during peak service hours (6:00 am
- 9:00 am and 3:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.) Monday through Friday, (2) concentrate off peak,
nighttime, and Saturday service in areas that have high ridership, (3) the system must
operate with in the budget guidelines established by Council. The information gathered
on each route included per cent of ridership per hour of service, rides per trip, rides per
day of the week, and driver input on rider pick up points and destinations. It was a
difficult process to arrive at our final recommendations. Operating under budget
constraints and adapting the system to the changes that have occurred with growth
throughout the city make it necessary if we wish to see growth in transit ridership.
Each segment (peak, midday, evening and Saturday) of Iowa City's transit service is
affected by the new routes. There is more service during the peak hours, a loss of service
mid day to some areas while others see an increase, and a reduction in fixed route service
at night but an increase in overall city service by using deviated fixed routes.
There were some changes that were evaluated but could not be implemented at this time.
There were requests for service to Saddlebrook. In addition we wanted to serve the
Industrial Park on the southeast side of Iowa City. Due to the difficulty entering
Highway 6 from Heinz Road this was considered an unsafe change at this time. As a
result the current Mall route was not changed to allow sufficient time to go to this area in
the future if traffic control devices are installed.
Following are the proposed service changes. Large display maps will be available at the
February 22, 1999 City Council Work Session.
AM and PM Peak Period
All current routes continue to operate with the following modifications-
The Lakeside route will continue south on Gilbert Street to Southgate Ave.
and then continue east on the existing route. This will return service to the
Hilltop Trailer Court. The inbound trip will use Bums Ave. reducing trips on
Hollywood Blvd. by 50%.
The Broadway route is one of our most difficult routes to keep on schedule, so
we have attempted to mn it on more arterial streets so it could continue to be a
30 minute route. It will use Court Street to Gilbert and travel south to
Highways 6 and turn left on Highway 6 to Boyrum Street and serve the Hy-
Vee South and MCI stops currently served by the Lakeside Route. The
Broadway will then continue east using Southgate and Cross Park to
Broadway. It will travel south on Broadway back to Highway 6 and east on
Highway 6 to Sycamore. It will then take Highland west all the way to Gilbert
Street and follow the outbound route back to downtown. This change will
reduce service in the residential neighborhood between Broadway and
Sycamore to one route, the Lakeside. It will also eliminate service along
Keokuk Street between Kirkwood and Highway 6 and along Kirkwood
between Gilbert and Dodge, but both of these areas are within two blocks of a
bus route.
The 7a, Avenue route will be extended to 1 st Avenue. It will go east from the
comer of 4th and Muscatine to 1st Avenue, then noah to Friendship and follow
Friendship back to the current route at 7th Avenue. This will increase service
to 1 st Ave. Hy Vee and Walgreens.
The Westwinds Route will use its current route past Noah Hospital to Melrose
Avenue. West on Melrose to Westwinds Drive, south to Robeas Road, east to
Mormon Trek, south to Benton, east on Benton to Denbigh Drive to Sunset,
noah on Sunset back to Benton, west on Benton to Westgate, north on
Westgate to Melrose, east on Melrose back to downtown using its current
route.
The North Dodge route will continue north on Highway 1 to NCS each trip.
This will increase service to this commercial area as there are currently only 5
trips per day that extend past the Noah Dodge Hy Vee. This will result in a
loss of service to the Kimball Road, Whiting Avenue area. The bus will also
continue on Dodge Street all the way to Market eliminating the section of
Church and Gilbert Streets which is now covered by the Noah Loop of the
Free Shuttle.
A West High tripper will run one trip in the morning and one trip in the
afternoon serving the residential areas west of Highway 218 and in the
afternoon it will also serve areas off of Mormon Trek Blvd. Sunset Street and
continue downtown using Melrose Avenue. In the morning these areas are
serviced by other routes which will meet up with the tripper bus to provide
direct service to West High.
A new route will serve the residential areas west of Mormon Trek off of
Rohret Road and Weber School. This route will run three trips in the morning
and four in the afternoon, providing service to the University Hospital and
downtown. A memo outlining the results of our survey of the residents of this
area is attached.
Mid Day Service
During mid day the Manville Heights, 7th Avenue, and the new route west of
Mormon Trek would not operate.
The Court Hill and Rochester Routes would be combined. The route would
follow the current Rochester to Friendship Street. At that point it would go
south to Court Street and then follow Court Street inbound. This would result
in a reduction in service in the residential areas between Rochester and Court
Street and along Friendship Street.
· The Noah Dodge route would continue to service the commercial area
between the Noah Dodge Hy Vee and NCS.
· Service on the Towncrest and Oakcrest routes will be increased to 30 minute
headways instead of the current 1 hour.
Evening and Saturday Service
Evening and Saturday service would consist of four fixed routes and one deviated
fixed route. The fixed routes would be combinations of existing peak hour routes.
The south east section of Iowa City would be served by a combination of the
Lakeside, Broadway, and Mall routes. The route would leave downtown
following the current Lakeside route. At Cross Park it would go east to
Broadway and the south to Sandusky. It would then continue the Lakeside
route to Bon- Aire. When leaving Bon-Aire the bus would cross Highway 6
and return to downtown following the Mall route.
The east side of the city would be served by a combination of the Towncrest
and Court Hill routes. The bus would travel on the Court Hill route to Scott
Blvd. And then go south to Muscatine. At that point it would go west and
follow the inbound Towncrest route.
The southwest side would be served by two routes. The current Oakcrest
Route would continue to operate. The Westwinds/Plaen View night route
would follow the outbound Plaen View to Westwinds Drive eliminating the
loops into Plaen View and Cae. At that point it would follow the current
Westwinds route to downtown with the exception of service on Denhigh
Drive.
The areas currently served by the Rochester, Noah Dodge, and Manville
Heights routes at night would be served by a deviated fixed route. The route
would have a fixed route and time points established so riders would know
where and when to expect a bus but would be allowed to deviate from this
route to pick up and drop off passengers if they are disabled or for anyone
who lives more than three blocks from the fixed route. This would allow us to
serve a large area with very low ridership with one vehicle.
We have eight hours of service left per week to provide evening and/or
Saturday shopper routes serving the high density residential areas on the west
side and linking them directly to the commercial/retail areas along Highway 6.
This is an idea which originated with our drivers as an unmet need in the
community. These routes would provide shopper service to the west side
areas that have a high concentration of apartments as well as University of
Iowa dorms. If this concept is approved, we would further explore the exact
pick-up times and desired destinations by eliciting public input from residents
of these areas.
In closing
We believe these changes meet the guidelines established. There will be citizens
who have supported Iowa City Transit for years that will be inconvenienced and
feel they no longer have service available. That is what has made this such a
difficult process, but operating under budget constraints and adapting the system
to the changes that have occurred with our communities growth make changes
necessary if we wish to see increases in transit ridership.

Re: Rohret Road Area Survey
We had a 60% return rate on the survey we sent to the residential areas which are out
Rohret Road but still in the city limits. There were 245 surveys sent out and to date we
have received 146 back. Of the 146, 107 said they would use the service if it were
available and 37 said they would not use the bus at this time and 2 were returned by the
post office as undeliverable. It is important to note that none of the surveys returned were
against running bus service to the area. Even some of the returned survey which
indicated that they would not use the bus stated that they thought it was a good idea and
their kids would have used the bus to get to West High if it would have been available
then. Some said their kids will use the bus to get to West High when they reach high
school age.
The purpose of the survey was to help determine the potential demand for bus service to
West High, the University of Iowa Hospital and Downtown Iowa City. I was pleased by
both the level of responses and the number of times per week that people indicated that
they would use the bus. The respondents indicated that they would use the bus 401 times
a week to West High, 319 times a week to the University Hospital and 364 times a week
to downtown Iowa City.
From the information in the surveys it appears that there is sufficient demand to support
bus service to the area. I would recommend starting out with peak hour service only and
then at some time in the future we could look at expanding to offer service all day if the
demand would support it. As we discussed, this could be a good area to offer two cab
rides home per month in order to provide people a way home mid-day so they won't feel
stranded if they have an emergency or want to take an afternoon off. It would be cheaper
to offer the cab rides than it would be to run the service all day.

Dear Walden Woods, Hunters Run, Country Club Estates, and Southwest Estates Residents:
Iowa City Transit has received numerous letters and telephone calls requesting city bus service to
areas off Rohret Road but still in the city limits. The requests have been for service to West High
School, the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics~ and Downtown Iowa City. We need to
determine the actual demand for service in the area. Please take a few minutes to fill out the
enclosed survey and return it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
Your input will help ensure that the potential level of transit service and destinations would meet
your needs. A decision has not been made to provide service to your area; however, the number of
responses and the specific answers will help make that determination. Thank you in advance for
your response to this survey.
Sincerely,

Re: Staff recommendations for Iowa City Landfill Grant funding
The Iowa City Landfill is again offering their Waste Reduction Grant Program for FY99. The
landfill makes available $25,000 in landfill surcharge reserve funds per year for projects that will
reduce the amount of waste going into the landfill. Last year all $25,000 was distributed to
seven different projects. This year we received five applications. Each applicant is eligible for
funding of up to 75% of the project cost with a maximum of $5,000. Landfill staff and I have
reviewed the applications and recommend funding the following projects:
Dan's Overhead Doors & More:
Purchase of a furnace to burn pallets, lumber, and wood garage door sections to produce heat
for their facility. They produce 120-150 tons/year of wood waste and plan on burning 50-75
tons/year. They are requesting $11,240.25.
Recommended funding: $5,000 (maximum grant amount)
Roosevelt Elementary School:
Purchase a 18 bushel compost unit to compost lunch room waste and yard waste. They plan on
composting 1-2 tons/year. They are requesting $536.95.
Recommended funding: $536.95 (the grant program may fund non-profit organizations up to
100%)
City Carton Company:
Purchase new signs for their public recycling drop site located at 3 East Benton Street. City
Carton recycles 42,000 tons/year at the drop site. They are requesting $1,846.
Recommended funding: $1,384.50 (75% funding)
Eastdale Plaza:
Purchase bins for collecting paper and cardboard products and to pay for a portion of the
collection costs for a period of time. They plan on recycling 20-30 tons/year. They are
requesting $4,800 for collection costs and $200 for containers.
Recommended funding: $200 for the collection containers. Staff recommends not funding
collection costs.
Iowa City Cleanup and Transfer:
Purchase a split roll-off container for construction sites. The split roll-off container can be used
to collect different types of material including dry wall (gypsum board) and corrugated cardboard
for recycling. They are requesting $4,360.50.
Recommended funding: $3,270.37 (75% funding)
The recommended funding totals $10,391.82. The remaining funds ($14,608.18)will be used by
the landfill to purchase collection containers for construction and demolition sites. This focus on
construction and demolition waste is a result of our recent waste characterization study, and a
recommendation from the corrugated cardboard ban committee to reduce the large amounts of
construction and demolition wastes going into the landfill.
Bring any questions you have to the February 22 work session. Please give me a call at 356-
5235 if you have any questions or comments about the grant program.

Deer Management Update
On January 20, 1999, the United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") began sharpshooting
deer in the peninsula area pursuant to its contract with the City of Iowa City. The USDA killed
nineteen (19) deer that night. The USDA killed three (3) additional deer on the following night
before stopping due to weather conditions, However, after receiving complaints from several
animal rights organizations, the USDA decided to stop all sharpshooting activities in Iowa City until
it further reviewed and revised the environmental assessment ("EA") it had prepared before
making its decision to sharpshoot in Iowa City. As a federal agency, the USDA is required to
prepare an EA under the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA") before undertaking action
that could affect the environment. After issuing a revised EA on January 28, 1999, the USDA
accepted public comment on the revised EA through February 10, 1999. (The USDA accepted
public comment on the initial EA from December 8, 1998 through December 31, 1999.) After
reviewing the revised EA and the 45 public comments which were received, the regional director
of the USDA issued a finding on February 10, 1999 that shooting up to 240 deer in Iowa City
would not significantly affect the human environment and authorized the USDA to again
sharpshoot deer in Iowa City beginning February 16, 1999. On February 11, 1999, the State
Natural Resource Commission extended the deadline for sharpshooting deer in Iowa City from
February 28, 1999 to March 20, 1999.
On February 3, 1999, three out-of-state animal rights organizations, the University of Iowa Animal
Rights Coalition, and four Iowa City residents in their individual capacities filed a petition for a
temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction in federal district court in Washington, D.C.
to prevent the USDA from sharpshooting deer in Iowa City. The plaintiffs alleged that the USDA
violated NEPA in preparing its EAs. Following a hearing on February 19, 1999, a federal district
judge entered a temporary restraining order against the USDA until a full evidentiary hearing could
be held on the plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction. It is our understanding that following
an additional hearing on February 16, 1999, the judge scheduled the hearing on the injunction for
May 18, 1999 and extended the restraining order until that date.
Although the temporary restraining order only applies to the USDA, staff does not believe the City
has adequate time to hire private contractors to sharpshoot deer this winter. Before entering into
an agreement with a private contractor, the City would want to conduct background checks, check
references, ensure that all sharpshooters had passed adequate shooting proficiency tests, review
shooting procedure and protocol, draft adequate contract language, etc. We feel the City would
be better served by having the Deer Management Committee reconvene and formulate a
recommended plan for next winter. Any deer management plan that the City Council approves
which includes a lethal component will also need to be approved by the State Natural Resource
Commission.

Re: Potential Operation of AMTRAK service along Iowa Interstate Railroad line
Dear Mr. Christie:
It is with groat interest that I have followed the recent news regarding the potential for AMTRAK
passenger rail service along the Iowa Interstate Railroad line through Iowa City. The potential
for east-west passenger rail service, as well as the connection with the rost of the AMTRAK
system in Chicago is an exciting transportation alternative for residents of our community. I
understand that the implementation of this service is dependent on funding from the Iowa
Department of Transportation for the upgrading of your trackage and signal control system.
I assume that the implementation of passenger rail service through Iowa City will roquire the
construction of passenger facilities in our community, Our old railroad station is currontly under
private ownership, although I believe a portion of it may be available for lease. It is likely that
enhanced parking facilities would be requirod above what is available at the old railroad station.
We look forward to investigating these matters with you as your proposal becomes clearer in the
future.
I would appreciate you keeping our Assistant Planning Director, Jeff Davidson, apprised of any
developments. Feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Ernest W. Lehman

MEMORANDUM'
Date: February 18, 1999
To: City Council
From: City Manager
Re: Press-Citizen Article - Water and Sewer Projects
In the January 30-31 edition of the Press-Citizen an article appeared that purported to represent
a history of the construction, financial activities, and policy issues associated with the City's
effort to construct water and wastewater projects. We are unaware of all of the source
documents used by the reporter and whether these documents were reviewed comprehensively
and historically, or whether the information was selectively excerpted, we can only speculate.
We are aware that earlier Press-Citizen stories were utilized, and therefore we assume they rely
on their own documents and interpretations to develop assumptions and arrive at their
conclusions.
There are several inaccuracies in the news article. Additionally, as your City staff we very much
disagree with the way the report was formatted, and the information presented is confusing to
us with respect to how conclusions could have been reached let alone substantiated. The work
of citizens involved in the planning of these water and wastewater projects has been diminished
to a point where the article inaccurately portrays their involvement and fails to credit their input.
Overall we believe this newspaper article without so stating has substituted editorial opinion for
historical accuracy, for the public record, if researched thoroughly, demonstrates a far different
picture.
We have prepared a summary of the water and wastewater rates and projects. In the
information that follows, the projects will be referred to as water or sewer projects. We do this
for clarity, in that the article and its headlines confuse the two very distinct public works
initiatives. We also identify future water and sewer projects. We believe it is important to remind
not only the Council but also the public of the complexities of any large-scale public works
project. Such projects evolve over time and involve a variety of stages of development. Although
the Press-Citizen may disagree, it is physically impossible to construct all of the elements in any
way except "piece by piece." City Councils (and over 25 years this can involve 12+ councils) will
often change projects adding, deleting, amending. Federal and state regulations are created
and eliminated on a regular basis. In an attempt to synopsize 25 years worth of water and sewer
project history the newspaper article has clearly lost much in its translation of information;
included in the text of the article incorrect information; and used attention-grabbing headlines
which do not reflect accurately the status or future of water and sewer projects in our
community.
City Council Members are aware of the complexities of the capital project planning process. In
the initiation of your decision making preliminary estimates are prepared without benefit of a
detailed engineering analysis. This is to provide an initial opportunity to determine whether there
is local policy support to proceed without committing to the major expense of formal
engineering. Often projects subject to preliminary estimates are not selected and shelved. With
a preliminary estimate a project can be determined to be worthwhile and then formal
engineering can be authorized. This is done by way of consulting engineering firms or in-house.
The design of a project, that is the formal engineering estimate, provides for a more accurate
2
COSt projection. At this point, the more detailed financial planning process is underway. How a
project will be financed? This is also an additional opportunity for the City Council to further
confirm whether they are interested in proceeding. These capital projects are most often
required to be reviewed and approved by the IDNR, a further opportunity for project refinement,
and a means to determine whether the project is regulatory compliant. Following completion of
this review process, the final engineering estimates are prepared and a public bidding process
initiated. The bid process is an open competition for private contractors. The results of this
process can also result in costs different from preliminary and final engineering estimates. Upon
award of a construction contract, we can now more fully substantiate a project's costs.
Changes still can occur along the way. Although they are most often minor there are
construction needs in the field that require the City to compensate a contractor as well as the
cost of any new or amended regulatory aspect a State or Federal agency may choose to
require. With the conclusion of construction, the Council formally accepts the "public
improvement" by resolution.
We have compiled a number of quotes/comments/headlines from this article that we believe are
questionable. The following represents a few of those:
The reporter has indicated that water and sewer projects will cost "at least $40 million more than
residents were told". First of all we cannot substantiate how the reporter arrived at the $40
million figure. However, the most troubling is the implication that area residents, businesses and
industries were not told about these projects. Capital projects are subject to public hearings.
Our financial books are audited annually. Projects are available for review by all media sources,
print and electronic. To imply that residents were not told gives an early indication of the
negative tone of this newspaper article and the apparent need to create that impression. These
capital projects has been reviewed numerous times in their development, hearings held,
resolutions considered. How the reporter could even allege that our citizens were not told defies
our understanding and the record of an extensive public process.
There is an indication that "three different prices for the same project and three City budgets
prepared over the past three months" were different. As we indicated projects go through
changes and we are unaware of how the reporter would reach such a conclusion, unless the
question posed concerning a specific project was just that, a specific answer to a specific
question. Could budgets be amended by way of new and/or additional information? The answer
is yes.
The "unplanned bill: $40 million" headline, notably the number, we cannot substantiate. We are
not sure how the reporter could arrive at such a conclusion due to the extensive hearing
process. We did look through capital budget plans in an attempt to interpret the "unplanned"
statement. Did the Council move projects up in priority - yes. For example there appears to be
an indication in the article that the Willow Creek Interceptor Sewer was "unplanned". A quick
search found the Willow Creek Sewer Project listed in our capital improvement plans in 1994
and in further review this project was being considered as early as 1979.
The "Procter and Gamble" project also seems to meet the reporters "unplanned" definition. We
have worked with Procter & Gamble over a number of years on how best to treat their waste. A
project was developed which would allow them to discontinue hauling waste from their plant site
and utilize a City-provided public service. This is something we would do, that is work with our
industries, particularly such a large user of sewer service. The reporter indicates that Procter
and Gamble will pay "25% of the cost". The sewer rate structure as designed will require them
to pay their full cost for the sewer services they are provided, not some partial payment. Also
other "unplanned" projects may be our response to the 1993 flood, certainly an unplanned
event, where many neighborhood sewer projects were constructed as a specific response to
flood conditions. While they may appear "unplanned", each had a public process associated
with it, and we assume if neighborhoods were consulted, they would express their interests as
to whether a project improves their neighborhood's quality of life.
A further comment is "more people likely will be hired meaning more cost". This is where the
reporter misses the point by a rather wide margin. As you know we chose to undertake
construction inspections on an in-house basis. We can demonstrate substantial savings. We
chose not to provide for a contract service for their work, but to hire our own employees. To
allege that hiring more inspectors would increase the cost of the project is unsubstantiated and
incorrect. It has reduced overall project cost.
The reporter also compares (though not shown) bid prices and final construction costs, and that
the customer's bill will increase 3.7% and 2.5% for water and sewer respectively. We can not
substantiate this number. Rates are established in accordance with financing needs on a
comprehensive basis, not single elements as reported.
The graphics portion has errors and we call your attention to one, that being the Willow Creek
Interceptor Sewer with the indication of a "initial bid: $8.5 million". This is wrong. The reporter
was provided with accurate information and pointed out that the actual bid was $7.3 million. This
information was provided prior to the release of the news story.
The reporter also indicated in the graphics portion a "Council-appointed study committee
misrepresented a consultant proposal". Such a committee was appointed to recommend sewer
project consulting engineers. A great deal of time and energy was devoted by this committee.
The Press-Citizen would seem to imply that this group deliberately undertook some type of
deceptive presentation to the City Council. The decision of the committee is documented in a
1984 memorandum.
Another quote is "The City of Dubuque finances its sanitary sewer work largely through special
assessments." Our contacts with Dubuque City officials show the contrary that is they do not
largely finance through special assessments.
These are a few examples where we believe the article failed to present accurate information
and understandable facts, figures and conclusions. This report with the initial headline of "costs
keep rising for water projects" seems to lead a reader to believe they are about to read a report
on the City's water treatment supply and distribution system. The report however discusses both
water and sewer. The rate structures of each of these utilities are very different. The law and
regulations involve different regulatory agencies. What is indicated as fact and what the record
shows are, at times, very different.
Water and Sewer Rates
The following chart represents the most recent history of water and sewer rates as they pertain
to the major water and sewer project initiatives. Council has traditionally approved one-year
increases; however, at the time of the review of each increase multi-year projections are
presented to the Council. These projections are based on the current City Council policies and
direction, project status (notably timing) and identification of any regulatory changes pending or
those that might have occurred. These projections allow for a more accurate representation of
the water and sewer project finance requirements, better public scrutiny of a multi-year planning
tool, and an opportunity to present the most up-to-date financial picture to the bond rating
companies, that is, those who will establish the quality of City credit with respect to bond
financing.
The original rate proposal in column one was provided and identified the ability to fund water
and sewer projects with substantial increases in the first two-years. As you are aware many
meetings and options have been discussed and notably at public Council meetings. The City
Council worked through options and arrived at its utility rate policy. The policy included the
annual review, the use of cash (20% factor), and that the rate increases would be extended over
a period of years rather than dramatic increases in the initial years.
The newspaper adicle contemplates that the "rate hikes won't be so temporary." This would
lead a reader to believe that the water and sewer projects that have differing rate structures
and components are planned to be only temporary. Practically speaking that does not seem to
be a realistic assessment although rates could possibly go down depending on a myriad of
circumstances. Water and sewer rate structures are designed to meet the project finance needs
in compliance with regulation and law at the time, the policy desires of the City Council, as well
as special "permitted use" components in our rate structure to deal directly with specific
conditions such as the amount of material that will be treated and thereby charged an
extraordinary treatment cost. In developing rate projections, growth in the system or an
anticipated conservation is at best speculation. When debt is sold for 20 plus years, legal and
regulatory challenges and changes can occur along the way. Suggesting to a reader that these
rates are temporary is difficult to comprehend. All of these factors, legal and political, are
considered at the time of a rate adjustment to the fullest extent practical by the City Council
which has been called upon to make that decision.
Our rate structure has undergone significant scrutiny - from a court review during the University
lawsuit to the work done by independent credit rating companies. Our utility rates including the
early projections, would indicate that the local policy review has been more than satisfactory,
and has allowed for reasonable flexibility to accommodate change. The rate proposals and
projections have had public review and have been found to be designed to meet local utility
finance needs. Without a sound rate structure, debt financing could not proceed. As an
indication of the policy and administrative efforts, the A+ rating of our recent sewer revenue
bond sale is reflective of the detailed and thoughtful analysis that has occurred over the years.

Future Work Session Items Update
North Side Parking Meters
North Side Meters have been approved by Council. Staff will work with The
University to determine exact placement of meters on the west side of Clinton
Street. After discussion with The University, staff will inform Council of locations
of the meters and respective time limits. Installation will be complete this
summer. As Work Session discussion is not indicated, this item has been
removed from the pending list.
Transit Interchange
The Downtown Transit Interchange has been approved by Council. Staff is
waiting for word on the sale of the Old Capital Mall. If the Mall is not sold in the
near future, we will proceed to build it in the middle of the street during the
summer of 1999. Funding has been extended until November 1999.
Goosetown Traffic Calming
As directed by Council, Traffic Engineering Planner Doug Ripley has continued to
work with the Goosetown Neighborhood group through the Traffic Calming
Program. After the first of the year, the committee representing the
neighborhood selected an alternative plan for staff review. Currently, City service
providers are reviewing the proposal. Once all of the comments have been
received, a survey will be developed and mailed to the neighborhood to
determine if there is neighborhood-wise support for the proposal. The survey is
expected to be sent the first week of March. The issue will be discussed at a
Council Work Session around the end of March or early April.
Chutes and Vaults
Staff recently met regarding possible solutions to the issue of private entities
occupying city right-of-way for business purposes without an agreement as to the
relative rights and responsibilities of each party with respect to liability,
maintenance and appropriate use. First Assistant City Attorney Holecek is in the
process of crafting a solution to address these concerns.

Dear Professor Miller:
On behalf of the City of Iowa City, I am pleased to extend our support for your proposal to
establish a Civic Education Network and Business and Government Intern Center in the Kharkiv
Region, Ukraine. I am pleased to endorse the proposal for a linkage between the University of
Iowa, Kharkiv State University, and the Kharkiv Pedagogical University under the United States
Information Agency's NIS College and University Partnership Program.
I understand that this program will include a focus on hands-on local government experience.
To the extent that the City Council and City staff may participate as a resource in this endeavor,
I can assure you that we would enthusiastically embrace such an opportunity.
The proposed curriculum development and research opportunities will enhance educational
programs at each of the universities involved, as well as strengthen citizenship and democratic
values among all participants in the program. The partnership promises to establish a rich and
meaningful exchange of democratic ideals and philosophies among the participants, and
hopefully provide for a sustained relationship between the respective institutions of higher
learning as well as our respective communities.
We look forward to hearing from you regarding the potential role of the City of Iowa City.
Sincerely,

Iowa City, IA 52246
Dear Mr. Haefner:
To respond to your February 2 letter concerning the possibility of a spring leaf collection, from
time to time we have had similar requests. To date I have recommended against a spring leaf
collection, due primarily to our other maintenance responsibilities during the early spring
months. With the snow gone the sand and other debris in the streets must be cleared as well as
immediate attention given to potholes and related winter damage. We do this work early on in
order to avoid spring rains washing these materials into our storm water systems and eventually
our streams and rivers. These tasks are performed by our Public Works crews - the same
individuals that provide the fall leaf pickup and, therefore, to provide a spdng leaf pickup would
dived their duties from the street maintenance and winter recovery.
Additionally, if we were to offer such a leaf collection program, we would need to do it City-wide
and, therefore, the obligation of time is far greater than one or two neighborhoods.
I am sorry that I cannot provide you with a more favorable response, but to date we have
recommended and the Council has generally supported that our winter recovery work in the
spring is more critical, particularly since we offer a leaf pickup alternative by way of our bag
program.
I appreciate you expressing your opinion. Again, I am sorry that I cannot recommend
accommodating your interests.
Sincerely,
City Manager

Leaf Pick-Up Program
410 East Washington St.
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. Stockman:
I have a problem with which I hope you can help me.
As you know, pin oak trees, for the most part, do not drop their leaves in the
fall but rather in the spring. Since there is no leaf pick-up in the spring as there is in
the fall, it forces me to bag all the leaves. I have nine pin oaks on my property, so
bagging the leaves from them is not only a difficult task, but an expensive one as
well. This expense is on top of the waste disposal charge on my property tax
statement.
I am by no means the only property owner with this problem, as there must
be many, many other residents with pin oak trees.
Is there any way in which your pick-up program could schedule a small
number of leaf collections in the spring? It would be of very great help for elderly
people like myself, living on fixed incomes, and needing outside help in order to
keep our properties in proper condition.
If there is anything else I can do to help bring this about, such as writing
letters to other individuals in the city administration, I would be happy to do so. I
would very much appreciate your help in this matter.
My address is as above, and my telephone number is (319) 337-9458.

Dear Atkins: CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
I am writing you about a matter that affects enough Iowa City residents to warrant your
attention to this request.
There is no leaf collection in the spring. Pin oak trees, for the most part, do not lose their leaves
until the spring. Owners of these trees must bag them since they will not be collected and cannot be
burned. I have nine pin oaks on my property, and I know that many, many other residents also have
them. I am a senior citizen, need lawn care help, and hence must hire someone to pick up and bag the
leaves. I then pay $1 a bag in addition to the refuse fee on my property tax statement. With nine trees,
this can easily run to an additional 15 or 20 dollars.
I view this as a matter of injustice and discrimation against a group of taxpayers. I have
written a letter to Mr. Stockman, in charge of the leaf pick-up program, discussing this problem, but
have not had the courtesy of a reply. I enclose a copy of my letter to him.
This, I realize, is a very small matter compared to the many other major problems which Iowa
City, and you as city manager, confront. But it is also easy to solve. Two or three leaf pick-up dates
should be adequate, and the equipment for it should be readily available. Planning and scheduling
these collection dates will, of course, require some time and effort, but it appears to me to be a
reasonable and fair request to make.
If there is anything else I can do to help bring this about, I will be happy to do so. I earnestly
request you to give this serious consideration, and I will appreciate your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely yours,
John H. Haefner

Re: Funding For Methane Abatement Project
Iowa City Transit was successful in securing 80% funding from the Federal Transit
Administration for the Methane Abatement Project at the Iowa City Transit Facility. The
maximum amount for the project is 80% of $400,000 or $320,000 federally funded and
$80,000 locally funded. Terracon Environmental Services estimates that $400,000
should be adequate to complete the project.
We are dividing the project into two phases. Phase 1 will consist of the installation of
three horizontal collector runs and a horizontal manifold line connecting the three
collectors lines to the proposed equipment building location. Phase 2 will likely consist of
construction of an equipment building, blowers, control unit and an off gas flare unit. An
exact determination of what equipment will be needed won't be made until Phase 1 is
complete and an assessment is done to determine the level of methane present. Iowa
DOT is in the process of reviewing our bid documents for Phase 1 and we anticipate
going out for bid on this project in March, 1999.

POLICE RESERVES
January 26,1999
The use of police reserves or auxiliaries was discussed during a meeting on
December 11, 1998. Present at the meeting were City Councilor's Dee Norton
and Mike O'Donnell, along with Assistant City Manager Dale Helling and myself.
The difference between police reserves (armed in uniform) and auxiliaries (not
armed) was discussed. The discussion included issues related to the risks
involved with having armed reserves who are not trained to the same level as full
time police officers, as well as the questions of acceptance by the citizen public.
In light of what we would be trying to accomplish downtown, the feeling was that
the formation of an armed police reserve unit was neither desirable nor needed
at this time.
The idea of the use of a volunteer auxiliary was also generally rejected because
of the lack of authority the volunteers would have to deal with the concerns of the
downtown merchants. Along with establishing a high degree of visibility, these
individuals would need authority to issue citations for minor violations and to
work closely with the department's sworn officers to maintain a meaningful
presence.
The discussion then focused on the hiring of additional community service
officers who would be assigned to only the downtown area. The idea is to hire
as many as two community service officers to work some combination of hours
covering the daytime and evening hours. A comparison of auxiliary officers with
CSO's was discussed at greater lengths. It appears that the idea of paid
community service officers is clearly favored over some type of volunteer group.
The idea of additional community service officers was put forth at the City
Council Work Session on January 6, 1999. I am not aware of any further
discussion. However, I would be happy to provide a specific proposal for the use
of additional CSO's if you wish.

This is a summary of what I think was accomplished at the Airport Commission meeting on
Febmary 11~:
1. The Commission renewed their support to have the Science Center locate in the North
Commercial area.
2. The Science Center would locate on seven acres in what is labeled on the preliminary plat
asLotl.
3. The Science Center and Airport Commission would meet with the City Council as soon
as possible to discuss funding for the infrastructure to access Lot 1.
4. The Commission would initially lease the land to the Science Center for a nominal fee for
a specific amount of time. After the initial time period, the Science Center would be
expected to pay "fair market value".
5. After a commitment is made to construct the infrastructure, the Science Center would
have a specific amount of time to start construction. After that time, the Commission
would no longer be obligated to reserve the property for the Science Center.
MMS is completing the design of the North Commercial area. I would suggest a meeting with
the City Council, the Airport Commission and the Science Center be scheduled as soon as
possible. You will need to have detailed information to present to the Council, including
development costs and a building schedule. If the Council is supportive of your ideas, a land
lease will be developed with the Commission.

RE: Featured Speaker for Prairie Preview XVI
On Tuesday, 2 March at 7:00 p.m., Bret Rappaport will be the featured speaker for Prairie
Preview XVI. His presentation, at Montgomery Hall on the 4oH Fairgrounds, will focus on natural
landscaping and the creation of "...dynamic, ecologically benign landscapes of native plants"
(quoting Mr. Rappaport).
Mr. Rappaport is the president of Wild Ones Natural Landscapers, a national conservation
organization dedicated to the preservation of native plants. Iowa City began its own Wild Ones
chapter about a year ago; Mary Palmberg is president of the Iowa City chapter.
I bring this 2 March presentation to your attention because Iowa City residents continue to
express interest in establishing natural areas throughout our community. We have open areas
dedicated to native landscaping in residential, commercial, and even industrial developments.
There is research being done on how native landscaping can actually change the absorptive
qualities of a landscape, which has implications for the storage and treatment of storm water. It is
my impression that City staff supports native landscaping, but that we are also somewhat unsure
of all that native landscaping carries with it: should we impose minimum sizes of natural
landscapes? how do we reconcile natural landscaping with our weed ordinance? what about
native landscaping in right-of-ways? how do we address the desire of some native landscapers to
incorporate burning into their maintenance plans?
I think that this presentation will give us an opportunity to learn from a nationally recognized expert
on natural landscaping. Mr. Rappaporrs experience as an attorney (he is a partner at the
Chicago law firm of Schwartz Cooper Greenberger & Krauss) may also make him a good source
for discussions on the enforceability of weed ordinances, and using language in natural
landscaping ordinances that won't limit the ability of municipalities to control public nuisances.
If you have questions about this year's Prairie Preview, I suggest calling Tammy at the Soil &
Water Conservation District (337-2232 x 3). There is also a World Wide Web site for "Source
Book on Natural Landscaping for Public Officials" at http://www.epa.gov/glnpo/greenacres/

UNITED ACTION FOR YOUTH - STREET OUTREACH PROGI~
FEBRUARY 14, 1999
United Action for Youth (U.A.Y.) has begun a new street
outreach program, targeting youths that would otherwise be
difficult to reach. U.A.Y. staff members, usually in pairs,
will be out in areas where youths congregate (ie. city plaza,
Plamor Lanes, etc.) attempting to develope relationships with
at risk kids, making them aware of the other programs U.A.Y.
has to offer.
Currently, the program runs Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday, from 1500 to 2100 hours. As warmer weather comes, the
hours will be expanded. Staff members will be getting U.A.Y.
identification badgesin the near future, and may eventually
have shirts/jackets to make them easily identifiable. They will
also be driving a purple Dodge Caravan (plate unknown) which
will eventually have U.A.Y. identifiers on it.
Staff members will primarily be acting as advocates for the
kids, and want to work with the I.C.P.D. to that end. They are
available to assist with non-criminal juvenile situations and
can be contacted at 338-7518.
The program coordinator, John Boyne, will be contacting
I.C.P.D. watch commanders to arrange for time at the watch
meetings to explain the program to officers.

Dear Honorable Mayor Lehman:
We recently completed a very successful phone book recycling event in the Iowa
City area. With the help of Hy-Vee Food Stores and the overwhelming response
of the community, we surpassed last years collection figure by 53,391 additional
participants. 98,387 people partnered with U S WEST in recycling outdated
U S WEST phone books through our recycling event. Through these efforts we
were able to recover 130 tons of outdated U S WEST phone books.
These 259,900 pounds translate into: - 131,183 phone books
- 909,650 gallons of water saved
- 429 cubic yards of landfill space saved
- If laid end-to end, these books would stretch for more than 22 miles.
These outdated phone books were shipped to a paper mill in the Pacific Northwest
and recycled into directory grade paper on which new U S WEST phone books
will be printed.
Thank you for your continued support and participation in this not-for-profit
environmental comn~unity seNice. We look forward to another successful phone
book recycling event in the Iowa City area in 1999. Please call me at 402-384-

Dear Mr. I_arson:
I have lived in Coralville/Iowa City for over 20 years. I run a business-and
am a taxpayer. I am opposed to sharpshooting or the use ofany other
lethal methods to address deer/human conflict in Iowa City for the
following reasons:
1, I regularly use the exit to the 'Hampton Inn to get to and from my
home. Following a night of sharpshooting in Iowa City last month there
was a large number of deer near the exit to the Hampton Inn. This was
unusual. The deer are normally seen south of the fence south of Interstate
80. The only explanation for this move was the killing that occurred the
night before'. The risk of deer/vehicle accidents was high with the deer
being so close to the traveled portion of the Interstate. This is a high
volume portion of the Interstate as it runs between Iowa City and
Coralville and is also near a large regional shopping center.
2. The comment period, recently extended to 10 da:y~ from 7 days, is
exceeding short. The revised Environmental Assessment (REA) is lengthy
and difficult to digest with its lack of headings.
3- The REA lacks objective justification for the proposed action and it
lacks site specific data as follows:

a, There is insufficient evidence to show that the deer population has
increased in Iowa City, There is no study of immigration/migration trends.
The only data is two nonconsecutive aerial surveys, Two data points is
not sufficient to establish a trend, A recent iowa City Press Citizen
report states that there were 800 deer "in the area". There is no site
specific evidence regarding deer numbers within the city limits and no
second count for one of the four areas where the USDA plans to kill deer.
b, There is insufficient data to support claims that deer are causing
damage to residential landscaping. The only "evidence" is a comment
about citizen complaints. There are no records of number, type or source
of complaints, There is no site specific proof of deer damage, In fact,
two of the areas targeted for sharpshooting deer are not residential and
devoid of residential landscaping.
c, There is insufficient data to support claims about deer/vehicle
accidents. 39 deer/vehicle accidents in a year is a very low number and
hardly justifies killing deer, There is no site specific information
provided to show where the 39 accidents occurred or under what
conditions. it is highly unlikely there have been any accidents in the two
uninhabited target areas,
d. There is insufficient data to show that Lyme disease is a threat,
There were only nine cases of Lyme disease in Johnson County between
1983 and 1997, This a very low number. There is no evidence that any of
the nine cases were attributable to deer, In fact, other mammals are
more likely than deer to be carriers of the tick that causes Lyme disease.
There is no site specific information to show that any of the cases of
Lyme disease occurred in Iowa City or any of the four target areas.
e, There is no data to support claims that deer are adversely impacting
natural vegetation or wildlife diversity in Iowa City .or the four target
areas.
f. There is no site specific justification to substantiate claims that the
deer population in the four target areas is causing damage or in need of
reduction.
g, Lethal techniques are not effective management techniques. Killing

deer does not address the areas of conflict. Killing deer also does not
reduce herd numbers for long as deer quickly repopulate themselves.
SUMMARY: The only solutions that address specific areas of deer/human
conflict are non-lethal methods, Non-lethal methods minimize impacts.
Lethal methods simply reduce deer numbers and only for a sho~c time.
Killing some deer does not prevent others from eating vegetation or
crossing roadways. Iowa City and the USDA should look to preventive and
education measures to address areas of deer/human conflict.
The REA is deficient. It does not substantiate the need to reduce deer
herd numbers in Iowa City or the four target areas. It contains no site
specific evidence of deer impact to landscaping, natural vegetation or
other wildlife, deer/vehicle accidents, or Lyme disease. The USDA, which
stands to gain a minimum of $42,000 in 1999 from the sharpshooting
program, is the organization promoting the use sharpshooting. As a
citizen and taxpayer, I do not want the deer killed. I question why Iowa
City wants to spend tax dollars on a lethal program- The USDA should
recommend development and implementation of non-lethal methods that
will educate the public and minimize impacts. These programs are more
financially responsible than lethal methods. Non-lethal methods provid~
permanent solutions. Lethal methods require repeating and continued
taxpayer expense. Lethal methods also increase safety risk as evidenced
by the siting of deer next to Interstate 80 following a night of
sharpshooting. The USDA should review and recommend non-lethal
methods of deer/human conflict management.

Dear Director Larson:
This letter contains my coments on fig JanuaB, 1999 Enviromnemal Assessrnom (EA). I understand that
an extension was grained for comments until February g~. I oppose the proposal to sharpshoot or ug
other lethal methods in Iowa City.', Iowa for the following reasons:
1. The title of the EA, "Reducing Deer Damage Through Population Reduction", is proof of the
Wildlif~ 8~'v,'i~e's belief that th~ issue in Iowa City is deer herd reduction not rtmnagin8 deer/human
conflict. Reducing deer numbers will not resolve the issues- Surviving deer will still cross roadways
and eat vegetation. The EA foctts mould be on preventive and educations measures.
2. The WS consulted only with individuals and agenci~ with an interest in lethal management. No
proponents of non-lethal me, hods are li~ed. There are two groups in Cedar Rapids that should have
bccu t~n~ulted - Animal Advocatos of Iowa and the Cedar Rapids Deer Coalition. Other national groups
should have been consults&
3. The 7 (now 11 ) day comment period is emirely too short to give interestod citizens adequate time
to review and comment on the EA. This insufficient comment poriod is inconsistem with the public
involvmm provisions and requiroments in the National Environmental Policy Act. (NEPA).
4. The EA provides incomplete site specific evidence to support its claitm of overabundant deer
populations. The only evidence is a sectrid aerial survey. Two data points do not 0,,Crablish a trcrld. At
!e&q thr~ data points are n~eded. Thero is also no data about rates of immigration/emigration,
reproduction and mortality. There is no current count ibr one of the four areas targeted for killing
(Hickory Hill).
5, Reports of deer/human conflict do not substantiate the need or Imrlxse for the proposed lethal action.
Thore is no site specific evidence of damage residential !an&eaping and vegetation. Undocumented
citizen complaints is not .sufficient. The EAprovjdes no site specific information regarding impacts to
wildlife and vegetation in parks and natural areas. The EA provides no site specific inlbrmation
regarding deer/vehicle aceidertts in Iowa City other than to report that 39 of 11,000 deer/vehicle
aceida, ate in the State occurred in Iowa City. There is no informaticm ahnut where these accidonts
occurred and no reference to the four target areas. 39 is a low number and the number appears to be
declit, lag- A mid- 1990 report .states the ~:re, 74 acrideats in a one to two )'ear lgfiod on portions of
only two streets in iowa City. There is no site specific information about the number of eases of Lyme
dim in Iowa Ci.ty or in the four targ~ areas. Mice are more likely than doer to be carriers oftho tick
that causes Lylne disease
6. The EA fails to objectively consider and evaluate non-lothal alternatives. The EAjustifies non-
involvement of the WS in non-lethal methods b,v stating that it has been asked to assist Iowa City only
in implementation of lethal methods.
02/07/1999 22:24 3193647719 L BERC-dERSON PAGE 02
7. The proposed action does not adequately address citizen comments and concerns about the use and
effects of sharpshooting including: a. t I se of bait nmv incre',k~ the risk and occurrence of Lyme disease
as rodent populations increase because of more available food). b. Including February tbr sharps~oting
means that pregnant does will b~ killed. c- Sharpshooting is a costly alternative. Taxpayers will have
to repeatedly pay tbr sharpshooting programs bet;au..,a: the dc~r herd will r,~opulat~ i~selffollowing a
killing program- (d) There are safety ri..~s m,z, ociate, d with accidental dL~harges of weapons, stray
bullets and potentially tainted meat.
8. Issues identified in the EA were takm from input during a November 1998 public meeting and from
ws discussion with the City and the luwa Cih.' Dccr Task Forco. The EA does not represent citizen,
agenT or =yen exp~rt input from both sides of the deer human co ffl e Those opposed to lethal
· - ~ ~ct ~s,~u.
methods are labeled as "having a human-affectiemte bond with individual deer". I do not have a bond
with individual deer but am opposed to killing as a corttlict resolution tocl.
9. The four altcrnativ,;s includo killing de,r a:2d removal of live deer Ther~e are not long tern~ deer herd
reduction methods. These reduction programs need to be periodically repeated as the &er herd will
repopulate itself via increased reproduction and survival rates.
10. The EA does not evaluate the en~4romnental consequences of lethal aeer control. Lethal removal
results in increased reproduction alK! survival rates. Surviving deer will still cross the roads, eat
vegetation, and be involved in accidents and other damage that leads to deer/human corttlict, Lethal
methods may even increase conflict as frightinked deer run onto roadways. The only solution to
permanently addre~ the deer herd number is to allow the herd to .self regulate. Studies of deer in
national parks provide evidence that non-hunted her&~ do ~lfregulate. Artificial manipulation of the
deer heat through lethal programs will prulung m~d possibly prevent a~lfr :gulafion ~ deer continue to
repopulate following lethal r~duction.
Summary. The EA is inadequate. The proposed action is based on inco nplete data. Them is no site
specific regarding Iowa City or the thur target areas. Resources used and individuals and groups
consulted by the WS have a one-sided view of th¢ issue and solutions. The EA ha-~ provided no
evidence of a dea "Iroblun" i, Iowa City. or the ibur target axeas- Th~-a is no justification for killing
deer in Iowa City. Instead, non-lethal measures to address the specific areas of deer/human conflict
should be implemented.
