Dubuque St. Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Sally: At the recent joint meeting of the various area governments, an item on the agenda involved Sioux Avenue. A comment from the audience was the concern for sludge trucks from the South Wastewater Treatment Plant using Sioux Avenue. I spoke with our wastewater treatment staff and there are occasional sludge trucks (loads of what is equal to black dirt) that use Sioux Avenue. It is only occasionally and it is to deliver the sludge to farmers in the eastern part of Johnson County, who use it as a soil treatment. Also the question arose as to septic tank trunks (honey wagons) using Sioux Avenue. We are a little confused as to those circumstances in that the north sewage treatment plant is the drop point for these honey wagons. When the companies pump septic tanks in the County they are permitted to, for a fee, drop the septic at our north plant. We cannot confirm whether this causes any extraordinary traffic on Sioux Avenue. If you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Stephen J.

Last week our design consultant conducted a 1% day listening post for area residents and businesses, and businesses directly impacted by the proposed transportation center. This information will be used to begin drafting design concepts for the facility 2. Our feasibility study for the facility was submitted to the Federal Transit Administration, and they have provided their standard review letter requesting additional information on specific subjects. We will be providing the additional information to them in the following month. 3. After initially informing us that design and property acquisition activities could occur prior to filing for environmental clearance, the Federal Transit Administration has changed their mind and now stated that we must complete environmental clearance activities prior to the approval of our grant for design and property acquisition. We will be proceeding with an Environmental Assessment for the project in the next two to three months. This will be a joint effort between our design consultant and City staff. 4. The City Attorney has hired a property acquisition consultant to coordinate property acquisition/relocation activities. 5. The City's Public Art Advisory Committee will be discussing the potential for public art in the project at their meeting on May 4. 6. We have been contacted by a local real estate firm interested in marketing the commercial space in the facility. 7. Litigation has been filed in conjunction with acquisition of one of the properties. 8. We are beginning discussions with potential tenants of the transportation center. These include the intercity bus operator, taxi companies, day care providers, and potential commercial space tenants. We are also coordinating the DroieCt with the other DroDertv owners on Block 102.

As l indicated at the meeting, I believe it would be beneficial to you to receive a full explanation of the Iogistics of sharpshooting prior to making determinations on possibly incorporating the amendments into any future deer management plans. As the Deer Management Committee begins deliberation of sharpshooting, we can plan to invite Tony DeNicola of White Buffalo to speak with the Committee. Council can plan to attend. To my knowledge (as Iowa City was the first community in Iowa to sharpshoot deer), there are no local individuals who are professional wildlife sharpshooters to advise Iowa City on these matters. City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM DATE: May 4, 2000 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Madan K. Karr, City Clerk RE: Iowa Utilities Board A number of you have requested information regarding contacting the Iowa Utilities Board regarding telephone area code issues.

This agreement extends through June 30, 2003. With this agreement Johnson County was to provide the vehicles needed to perform paratransit service. The East Central Iowa Council of Governments (ECICOG) as the recipient federal agency was the titled owner of the vehicles. Johnson County paid the local share of the vehicle cost and utilized them to provide service to those with whom they had service contracts. Effective May 1999 ECICOG determined that the vehicles were not being used in rural service and required that the ownership be transferred to the City of Iowa City in exchange for $19,627, the residual value of the vehicles. Johnson County retained 100% of the residual value as compensation for the vehicle transfer. Iowa City in turn has leased the vehicles to Johnson County for $1.00 per year to continue uninterrupted service. Beginning in May 1999 the responsibility to replace the paratransit vehicles transferred from Johnson County through ECICOG to the City of Iowa City. The annual replacement cost to Iowa City is $18,000. This is an expense that in the past was included in our present lump sum contract with you. In order to provide replacement vehicles Iowa City needs to create a vehicle replacement fund. As these funds are currently budgeted in our lump sum contract with you, we need to develop a mechanism for retaining these funds in an equipment replacement reserve. There are several options that can be pursued to address this issue. Johnson County can transfer $18,000 a year into Iowa City's vehicle replacement fund or reduce the annual contract amount paid by Iowa City to Johnson County. We assume similar circumstances occur with respect to Coralville. Therefore all parties, Iowa City, Coralville, and Johnson County, need to meet to discuss how to address this issue. I look forward to hearing from you.

Stanley Cooper, Chair of the Regional Workforce Investment Board (RWIB), called the RWIB to order. Joe Pacha moved the acceptance of ihe RWIB agenda. Beryl O'Connor seconded the motion and it passed. Stanley Cooper called for approval of the RWIB minutes. Lu Barron moved acceptance of the February RWIB minutes. Cathleen Real seconded the motion and it passed. ACTION ITEMS 1. Review, discussion and acceotance of March 23. 2000. Draft of Regional Plan In order to comply with state timelines this document needed be to Mark Moore, Consultant for the State of Iowa Department of Workforce Development, by March 31, 2000. Steve Rackis informed board members that the only changes to the draft Regional Customer Service Plan ware the additions of Section 3, Flowchart of the Workforce Development System and Section 4, WIA Services for Youth. On behalf of the RWIB, Joe Pacha made a motion to submit to Iowa Workforce Development for acceptance and review the Draft Regional Customer Service Plan. Bob Marsh seconded the motion and it was passed. 3. Review. discussion and acceptance of Youth Council's recommendation for the Youth Services Coordinator Joe Pacha, Chair of the Youth Advisory Council, informed beard members that a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Youth Service Coordinator had been issued. One bidder, Kirkwood Community College, had submitted a response to this RFP. On March 15, 2000 the Youth AdvisOry Council (YAC) heard a presentation from this bidder. The Youth Advisory Council recommended to the RWIB and CEOs that Kirkwood Community College be selected as the Youth Service Coordinator to administer youth services under Title I of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). On behalf of the RWIB, Beryl O'Connor made a motion to accept the recommendation of the YAC that Kirkwood Community College be designated as the Youth Service Coordinator of youth services under Title I of the WIA Cathleen Real seconded the motion and it was passed. 2. Review, discussion, and acceptance of March 23. 2000 Draft of Memoranda of Understandin.c (MOU) Steve Rackis informed board members that this draft document had been mailed. WIA services are listed in three categories in the WIA legislation: . Core services--workforce services which are universal to everyone (i.e. self-help services and self-registration for employment). · Intensive services--workforce services in which additional intervention and/or assistance is required. One is enrolled into WIA in order to receive these services. · Training services---workforce services involving training. One is enrolled into WIA in order to receive these services. Case management is usually a function of this level of service. · The purpose of the MOU is to i~entify, coordinate and describe the integration of these regional workforce delivery development products and services through a one-stop system. An umbrella Memorandum of Understanding needs to contain an umbrella vision. Under the federal Workforce Investment Act there are nineteen (19) mandatory partners (the State IWD plus others such as Vocational Rehabilitation; Job Corps; Adult Education and Literacy;, and Carl Perkins) who must come together and sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). 2 It was suggested that a one year review be placed on SDR Ten's initial MOU. On behalf of the RWIB, Cathleen Real made a motion to accept the SDR Ten's draft Memoranda of Understanding and to submit it to the state for a compliance review. Bob Marsh seconded the motion and it was passed. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS I 1. Report on Strateaic Workforce Development Funds (SWDF) b. Cedar Rapids Chamber of Commerce Steve Rackis informed board members that SDR Ten has approximately $69,000 in Strategic Workforce Development Funds (SWDF) yeS to obligate prior to June 30, 2000. Mark Moore, Consultant for the State of Iowa Department of Workforce Development, informed board members that if these dollars are Under contract by June 30, 2000 then they will remain committed. Otherwise, SWDF funds may not be carded over this year as the SWDF program will end .June 30, 2.000. A new program, New Employment Opportunities, will evolve and take the place Of the SWDF program. Steve informed board members that The Cedar Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce was requesting $40,000 from the Strategic Workforce Development Fund to assist in the development and maintenance of a web site that would appeal to high school students with a goal of keeping more of the area's Mura worffome in Cedar Rapids and in Iowa. The Cedar Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce would commit $10,000 in cash and $46,600 in salai'ies and in-kind funding for a total of $56,600. Total cost for:. web site development, data collection, marketing, salary of a college intern, other salades and fringe benefits, and office equipment, building and supplies were indicated as $96,600. a. Youth Proposal Bob Ballantyne informed board members that the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) calls for a somewhat different service delivery system than 'under the Job Training Partnership Act. Eligibility for WIA services is also somewhat different than eligibility for services under the Job Training Partnership Act. However, like its predecessor W1A is also not an entitlement program. Programming and services to adults, youth and dislocated workers to be paid for through Title I of the WIA legislation is being referred to as 'Little WIA". Under JTPA, these services had been delivered through Title II (Adult and Youth) and Title IIi (Displaced Workers). WIA budgets for Title I Adult, Youth and Dislocated Worker program were distributed. Bob Ballantyne pointed out that the overall funding for all WIA youth programs was less than the amount of funding available to operate just the JTPA summer work experience program. This represents a decrease in available funding for programming for low-income youth. Low income disabled youth are especially vulnerable under the new WIA legislation. Bob Ballantyne stated that under WIA it appears that the Department of Labor is bringing an end to subsidized employment. He suggested coupling current residual SWDF dollars with WIA dollars in order to create transitional programming for low income disabled youth over the summer months. He suggested that in some ways this transitional program might resemble the old summer youth work experience program under JTPA but in other ways, for instance a change in approach and expected outcomes, would be different. For many low income special needs youth (especially mentally and physically disabled youth) one of their only opportunities to gain work experience had been through JTPA's Summer Youth Work Experience Program. Many of these kids have no other opportunity. Bob Ballantyne suggested that devoting some SWDF dollars towards creating these types of opportunities for low income disabled youth might compensate for gaps in the upcoming Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funding for youth. SWDF dollars would have to be matched. 1. Report on Reauests for Proposals (RFPS) for SWDF Summer Proarams' Steve Rackis informed the boards that responses to the SWDF Request for Proposal (RFP) soliciting 'traditional" SWDF summer programming (i.e. conservation corps type of youth programming) would be discussed at the joint April meeting. 2. RWIB Membership (Terms of Service) The RWIB membership roster was discussed. RWIB membership terms are staggered. 3. JTPA/WIA Transition Issues Bob Ballantyne informed board members that we will need to be adding JTPA closeout costs to the Consortium's current budget. Sin~e many transition issues I~ad already been - - accomplished two years ago when Kirkwood Community College became the Administrative Entity and Fiscal Agent for the JTPA pingreins, Bob did not anticipate the JTPA doseout costs to be great. He stated the following doseout costs will need to be covered: costs associated with a final Consortium closeout audit; costs associated with the transfer of participants from the JTPA program to programs under WIA; and property transfer issues. Mark Moore, Consultant for the State of Iowa Department of Workforce Development, informed members that transitional funds would be available for the RWIB. 4. Families First Conference and 5. Report on Inter-A.aencv McNeilis Bob Ballantyne informed board members that Promise Jobs staff along with Department of Human Services staff and staff from the Family Development and Self-Sufficiency (FaDSS) Program have begun sedous discussions about rethinking and creating a new vision of the big picture of self-sufficiency for welfare clients. On March 1, 2000 a McNeilis compressed planning session was held. Staff from the following programs/agencies participated: Department of Human Services; FaDSS; Promise Jobs; Welfare-to-Work; and Child Support Recovery Unit. The purpose of these efforts is to develop a strategic plan for what can collaboratively be accomplished between partners in order to best direct resources towards those clients who have only twenty-two months, or less, of TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) receipt remaining. In order to accomplish this, a unified information threshold needs to be developed among participating agencies. A written summary of the March 1 McNeilis compressed planning session was circulated. 6. New Hodzons Proposal This was solely an informational item. Steve Rackis and Bob Ballantyne informed members about a CDBG Career Link Grant Application submitted to the Linn County Board of Supervisors by New Horizons Computer Learning Center. This proposal is similar in intent to Kirkwood's currently operating Career Link Customer Service CDBG grant. Discussion followed. Apparently the New Horizons Computer Learning Center informed the Linn County Board of Supervisors that they had discussed this proposal with staff members from both the East Central Iowa Employment and Training Consortlure and from Kirkwood Community College when, in fact, they apparently had noL 9. Iowa Traininc~ Institute This was an informational item. Copies of the Iowa Training Institute proposal, along with copies of a letter sent by Lumir Dostal to the Chief Elected Officials and Local Elected Officials, were discussed. The Iowa Training Institute is an unauthorized effort to develop and staff a multi-~udsdictional staff development and training institute. Local units of government are apparently beingapproached in hopes of soliciting support for this initiative. Without Iowa Workforce Development's support and funding this initiative is not practical. In fact, this renegade effort could jeopardize broad based collaboration between local areas and Iowa Workforce Development. 7. Heartland Conference The dates of this year's Department of Labor Heartland Conference were announced. The 2000 Heartland Conference is a vehicle for workforce development professionals to share information, promote new initiatives, enhance 'skills and network among practitioners in the field of workforce development. The conference is scheduled to open at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 16 and adjoum by noon on Thursday, May 18. Dates for the Greg Newton WIA session were announced. Greg Newton is a management consultant hired by the Department of Labor to conduct training sessions on the Workforce Investment Act. Greg will be in Cedar Rapids on May 18 and May 19 at the Four Points Sheraton Convention Center. The RWIB, CEOs and the LEOs were all invited to attend this training session. Mark Moore, Consultant for the State of Iowa Department of Workforce Development, announced a special session with Greg Newton for RWIB, CEO and LEO members on May 17 from 5:00 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. It was decided that all three boards will convene again at 10:00 a.m. on Apdl 27, 2000 at the Linn County Board of Supervisors Building. On behalf of the Regional Workforce Advisory Board, Bob Marsh made a motion to adjourn. Beryl O'Connor seconded the motion. The motion passed and the RWIB adjourned. 5 City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: City Manager DATE: May 2, 2000 RE: Iowa League of Cities I will be attending the annual Board of Directors retreat on Thursday, May 11 and Friday, May 12.

College St., #3, Iowa City, Iowa 52245 (319)338-8865 To: City Council From: Steven Kanner RE: GROUP HOME CITING AND EFFECTS ON SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS Date: May 4, 2000 I had the opportunity, last March, while participating in the National League of Cities annual conference, to attend a workshop on group homes. I made contact with one of the panelists, Michael Allen, an attomey with the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law. He sent me the attached information regarding the effects of siting group homes on the surrounding neighborhoods. As you will note upon further examination of the materials, numerous studies indicate that property values of surrounding homes either remain the same or go up. The studies also note that the density of group homes can be up to one per block without having "adverse" effects. Granted, many of the "Representative Sample of the 50+ Studies" do not refer directly to programs similar to the proposed Successful Living house. Though they do include studies such as the one that looks at "group homes for unruly male wards of the county, 12-18 years old." (Wagner and Mitchel) What the studies clearly indicate to me is that group homes, of almost any type (even ones with "unruly male wards" - where the societal expectation might be one of negative impacts on a neighborhood), will most likely have a positive effect on a neighborhood, if they have any type of effect at all. I also have available, upon your request, a full annotated bibliography by the Mental Health Law Project, "The Effects of Group Homes on Neighboring Property.", This full bibliography has other studies that look at group homes similar to our Iowa City shelters. One of the research studies "sampled six group homes, two halfway houses, a hostel, two Veterans Administration homes, four adult proprietary homes and an agency-operated boarding home...He (Breslow) found that community residential facilities have no downgrading effect on the neighborhood, that facilities are in the same or better condition than their surrounding neighbors and that, in all but one of the 16 cases, property value increased." (Breslow,) Please feel free to contact me or Michael Allen at the Bazelon Center (202-467-5730) if you have any questions or comments.

No matter which methodology has been used, every study has concluded that group homes not clus- tered on the same block have no effect on property values, even for the houses next door, nor on the marketability of nearby homes, neighborhood safety, neighborhood character, parking, traffic, public utilities, nor municipal services. The following studies constitute a representative sample. There have not been many studies conducted recently simply because this issue has been studied so exhaustively. D.
