City of Iowa CityI MEMORANDUM 02-26-99 IP1 Date: February 23, 1999 To: City Council From: Mayor Re: Police Citizens Review Board Our recent discussions with the PCRB have given me reason to reassess the purpose for which they were set up and to evaluate, in my own judgment, how they are doing. As we all remember, the Board was established to review complaints filed against the police and determine the validity of these complaints. To date these evaluations have proven what many of us already suspected, that we have a competent and professional police department. I have been particularly impressed with the thoroughness of their deliberations and their efforts to protect the identity of the officers involved. In this regard, I am particularly curious as to why they feel it is necessary to track an officer's identity before they resolve the complaint. It would appear that the same purpose could be served by revealing the identity after resolution of the complaint. I have asked the chairperson of the board to elaborate in writing why they feel so strongly about this. I indicated my agreement to allow this information for several reasons. First, I feel that we as a Council have set up this board for a specific purpose. Although I do not understand why prior identification is necessary, I feel we should respect their wishes until such time as their procedures prove to be unfair or arbitrary. Second, their actions to date relative to protecting an officer's identity have convinced me of their honesty and sincerity. Third, even if their actions prove not to be impartial, they have no authority other than to recommend to the Chief and the Council. Fourth, our refusal to allow their request will be viewed by those who are critical of the Police Department as an effort on the part of the Council to prevent them from doing what they were set up to do. I believe we need to take a more constructive view of this board. In most cities that have such a board, they end up being proof positive of the quality of their police departments. Our board is finding the same thing right here in Iowa City. Their job is just as much to affirm the quality of our police, as it is to point out its weaknesses. To date, their reports have confirmed our belief that we have a fine police department. We need to realize that the PCRB can be a valuable tool for the Council and the Chief to show the dedication of our police force in serving the public. Our failure to support the PCRB gives the public, whether right or wrong, a reason to suspect our motives. While this board is indeed an arm of the Council and, as with any board, should be monitored closely, we should either support them or reevaluate their importance to the community. cc: PCRB Eleanor Dilkes, City Attorney council\memos~CRB .doc IOWA INTERSTATE RAILROAD Mayor Ernest W. Lehman City of Iowa City 410 East Washington Street Iowa City, IA 52240-1826 Dear Mayor Lehman: , FEB 2 4 1999 February 22,1999 I am in receipt of your letter concerning the potential of Amtrak providing rail passenger service through Iowa City. I am appreciative of the local support and enthusiasm generated by the future prospect of rail service through communities served by the iowa interstate Railroad. There are two rail passenger initiatives (listed below) that have been discussed in the media the past several weeks that need clarification. Midwest Regional Rail Initiative - This was a two year study commissioned by 9 state DOT's (including Iowa), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and Amtrak to determine the feasibility of expanding and enhancing high speed passenger rail service throughout the Midwest. My railroad was chosen as the preferred route through Iowa, primarily because of the population density (Quad Cities, Iowa City, Des Moines, Omaha) along with being the most economical to upgrade. The preliminary service will initiate out of Chicago (around 2001) and plans to reach Iowa around 2004. This proposal calls for 3000 route miles at a cost of approximately $1,000,000 per mile, plus another $500,000,000 for equipment. The proposal is for 80% federal and 20% state funding. This is all preliminary information from a consultant's study. Iowa Interstate/Amtrak Express Service - My company has had discussions this past year to bring Amtrak's "Express Service" to our railroad. This is a service that carries both passengers and freight. This is not a part of the above-mentioned Midwest Regional Rail Initiative. The initial passenger service offering would be between Chicago and Des Moines. Increasing passenger stops is a function of community support for ridership, upgrading or building stations, and improving track infrastructure to increase speeds. Our goal with Amtrak is to develop a service proposal during the 2nd quarter with a phased in approach for expansion. My plan is to take this proposal to key community leaders such as yourself, along with local and state legislatures, for assistance and support. I will keep Jeff Davidson apprised as we progress our negotiations with Amtrak.

A Request for Proposal (RFP) was sent out to the local banks as well as some other banks within Iowa requesting lock box service. Based on the analysis of the RFP, the City's new lock box address for remittance of payments will be Des Moines, Iowa through Norwest Bank. I worked hard at trying to get a local bank to provide the lock box service at an affordable price as well as quick turnaround of the remittances. The local banks were not able to provide that. Effective March 1, 1999 the new remittance address for mailed in payments will be sent to Des Moines, Iowa and processed by Norwest Bank there. ImVnem\dy2-26.doc TO: FROM: DATE: RE: CITY OF IOWA CITY PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM City Manager Parks and Recreation Director February 19, 1999 Trailside Project/Hospice Memorial You may recall that we are looking into the construction of "trailside rest areas" as the number/length of trails increases. I have been working with Casey Cook and a committee of volunteers to develop plans whereby donations would help to finance these rest areas in exchange for naming opportunities. It appears that the first of these trailside areas will soon become a reality. Conceptual plans have been developed for a "Hospice Memorial" to be constructed adjacent to the future Willow Creek Trail in Willow Creek Park. This will be a larger and more expensive project than future anticipated trailside rest areas. Funding will come from a variety of sources, including Casey Cook (in honor of his mother), Hospice Inc., F.I.R.S.T., the Mickey Vanderhoef Memorial, and the City. Total construction cost is estimated to be in the $12,000-15,000 range and I anticipate the City's "contribution" to be no more than one-half of this cost. Even though the Willow Creek Trail project likely will not be completed until sometime next fall, the group would like to proceed with this memorial project in order to have it completed by Memorial Day. We think this is achievable and are proceeding with this time schedule in mind. With regard to another matter of a similar nature, the Hospice organization may be interested in working with us in the future to develop a larger, more inclusive Hospice memorial in one of our parks. Should you or the Council have any questions, concerns or suggestions, please give me a call. cc: Parks and Recreation Commission ~~ Mr. Steve Arkins City Manager City of Iowa City Civic Center 410 East Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 ,TOHN 14. H/~IrEI( 120'/, East Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 February 23, 1999 Re: City employee Jim Wells Dear Steve: I am writing this letter to commend one of the City' s excellent employees with whom we recently had contact. On Saturday, February 20, my wife discovered a sewer backup in a small rental property that we own on Kimball Road across from our own home. Fortunately, the property was vacant while undergoing renovation. Pat called the City's sewer emergency line and Jim Wells from the wastewater treatment staff responded almost immediately. He came out to the house within minutes of being called, cleared the sewer backup problem, and promptly made arrangements for cleanup. Mr. Wells even gave us his home phone number so that we could call if we had further problems later in the day. Obviously, no one enjoys having the type of problem we had, but your employee, Jim Wells, very ably helped us through it. We just wanted you and your staff to know about Mr. Wells' excellent work.
