Good Morning .......
This spring, Arts Iowa City sponsored a grant to the NEA for support of the development of a Cultural District
concept for Iowa City. Larry Eckolt wrote the grant and I am pleased to inform you that the proposal has been
accepted! Our position at street level brought together many groups who participated in Cultural District
Discussions which produced the ideas outlined in this grant proposal. You may see something in the paper
today.
Larry, if you have a moment, can you e-mail a word to all the people on these e-mail lists I am informing?
Thank you to everyone who has an interest in this aspect of our town. I especially want to thank the past
presidents of AIC and Shirley Wyrick for pioneering all of these headwaters. The issues are still important.
Have a wonderful day!
Nancy

Subject: Re: NEA
The article in this morning's Gazette covers most of the immediate news. A
couple of weeks ago, Nancy, Carol Spaziani, Jane McCune and I (very briefly)
met to discuss the role the Chamber of Commerce's Arts and Business
Partnership committee would have in implementing the grant. Carol has
drafted a memo that makes several suggestions for getting more involvement
from the rest of the downtown business committee and other organizations.
One major component of the grant is funding for a large Justine Zimmer
"tornado" sculpture for the pad in front of Burger King. I called Justine
last night and she's putting that project on her work schedule. We'll have
to work with City Planning to get the city's OK for the banner around
Weatherdance. Benson and Hepker Design had already committed to designing
the banners and various printed materials. We'll need a small working
committee to pull all of the parts together. What makes it even more
exciting is the progress being made on the other City Plaza sculptures! Be
sure to visit the Library and view the models of the pieces under
consideration--and vote for your favorites! Larry

Iowa City, IA 52240
To the Iowa City Council:
I am writing to you to provide some clarification ~nceming the use of the Hazard
School of Public Health's College Al~hol Study (CAS) data. First, let me intmdu~
myself. My name is Julie Kearney and I sere as the On-Site Evaluator and Researcher
for the Stepping Up Coalition. I mpoa dim~ly to the Hazard School of Public Health
and sere as a msour~ for the Stepping Up Coalition.
I artended the City Council Special Session with the bar ownera on July 11, 2000 and
would like to clarify the diffemn~ be~een the Hazard data cited by some of the
speakers that night and the Hazard dam cited by the Stepping Up Coalition. The
College Alcohol Study is a national study using dam colleaed at 130 universities
nationwide and publi~tions related to that study con~m aggregate national figures.
Publi~tions using the national data am readily available in print and on the Hazard
School of Public Health's website and apparently am the sour~s sited on the 11th. As
pa~ of the agreement to pa~icipate in the CAS, The Univemjty of Iowa receives its own
dam ~pamtely, so that we may look at student drinking habits hem in Iowa City:
Typically, when the Stepping Up Coalition releases figures ~ncerning student drinking
they am talking about the Io~1 figures, for University of Iowa students only.
The primaW mason that The Unjvemity of Iowa was given the grant to form a community
and campus coalition is that its students are not typical of ~llege students nationwide,
but are at the extreme. That is, The University of Iowa has an unusually high hinge rate.
The most relevant numbers to consider when describing the alcohol problem jn Iowa
City are our local numbers. For example, Table 1 (below) shows (as a speaker
mentioned the other night) that while the number 0f abstainers has increased in the
national sample, from 15.4% in 1993 to 19.2 % jn 1999, the Io~1 figures do not follow
the same pattern (6.0% in 1993, 9.7 % in 1997 and 6.9% in 1999).
The 1999 rote of bin~ ddnking (combining occasional and frequent hinge drinker) can
be seen to be ~.7 pement at The Univemity of Iowa as compared to the national figure
of 44.1 percent.
Publi~tions con~rning the national data have also noted not only an increase in
abstainera nationally, but also an jncmase in frequent bingem. From 1993-1999,
nationally, the number who bingod frequently (morn than 3 times in the past ~o weeks)
increased to 22.7%, a 2.9 percentage point increase sin~ the 1993 su~ey. In Iowa, an
even greater increase was seen -- 36.5% were frequent bingers in 1999, a 7.8
percentage point increase since the 1993 survey.
if you have further questions concerning the Harvard School of Public Health's College
Alcohol Study data, please feel free to contact the Stepping Up Coalition.

are normally for a period of one to four days. Permittees are often
allowed to make a monetary forfeiture instead of serving a suspension.
Forfeitures are usually equivalent to $100 or $200 per day of the

the local courts. Varied fines and jail time are standard penalties for
violating state liquor laws.

Subject: Alcohol Policy
I live on the 800 block of East College (next to an off-campus 'party house'
of an on-campus frat) and work at the UI Hospitals.
I am wondering if the University is slowly gaining a reputation as a 'party'
school.
The nightly migration across Burlington Street between 9pm and 3am seems to
have increased in the past couple of years and now it is also busy Monday
through Wednesday as well as the weekend. This summer the student population
seems to be larger than past summers and there have been parties in my
neighborhood every weekend so far. I don't remember this happening in past
summers.
These are my subjective impressions as a resident of the area but I am
wondering if you would be visiting this subject if police and health
statistics were not leading you to some of the same conclusions. This could
be just the beginning if younger siblings of Chicago area students learn that
Iowa is the place to go--if your priority is partying. My brother lived in
Boulder in the late 70's and early 80's when publicity about CU spread from
youth magazines to daily papers and within a few years some areas of the
downtown looked like war zones and there were at least a few riots a year for
several years.
Contributing factors are in place; increasing density of student housing
southwest of downtown, more bars and a more student-friendly business climate
after the new mall shifted consumer dollars away from downtown, out-of-state
tuition still cheaper than many state and private schools in Illinois and, of
course, the 18yo policy. Unfortunately a successful men's basketball team
could end up contributing also.
I agree that currently binge drinking is the primary problem but I also hope
that you keep in mind what could happen if the UofIowa gets a national or
even regional reputation; increases in sexual assaults, violent crime, drunk
driving, property damage and insurance costs, police and court costs (what if
the new jail isn't approved?). What would happen to state funding of the
University? It may be good for some businesses (and more out-of-state
tuition) but it would be a disaster for the town, I don't think anybody would
dispute that.
I don't have any specific policy suggestions other than to work closely with
the University and the business community with the knowledge that the town's
image in the mind of prospective students may have as much effect as alcohol
policy.

Dear Council Members;
The Johnson County Tobacco Free Coalition wishes to commend the City of
Iowa City for conducting 92 compliance checks in CY 1999 and continuing to
conduct compliance checks even though FDA funds are not longer available.
However, we are disappointed that retailers who failed the compliance checks
have not as yet been assessed the $300.00 administrative fine as provided for
under Iowa Code. Enforcement of the Adolescent Tobacco Prevention Law is an
important part of a comprehensive tobacco control program. To be effective,
compliance checks must be conducted quarterly with the assessment of the civil
administrative fines and penalties.
We understand that the civil administrative fines may be more difficult than other
fines to collect. Assistant Attorney General Steve St. Clair has assisted other
Iowa cities, including Cedar Rapids, in setting up a procedure for assessing the
fines. We have attached examples provided by Mr. St. Clair of a letter of
notification fixing a date, time, and place for a hearing and a resolution to
assessing the civil penalty. If you have questions regarding the procedures a city
should take to assess the fines, Mr. St. Clair suggests you call him directly at
515-281-3731.
We believe that the time has come for Iowa City to again show that it is a leader,
that we care about our youth, and to adopt the measures necessary to protect
the health of future generations.

Dear Sirs:
Recently, I had occasion to witness reprehensible behavior on the part of two youthful employees of the Old
Capitol Cab service. This incident may have been due to the use of temporary sununer help, and I expressed
acknowledgment of that possibility in my letter of complaint to this company. However, if there is any chance
that young employees are abusive in their behavior toward the elderly on a frequent basis, perhaps an
independent investigation of business practices might be initiated
The events to which I am referring occurred on Monday, 10 July 2000. A taxi was requested with an arrival
time of 11:40 for transpoa to the University Hospital. The driver did not make an appearance until 12:05 p.m.
1 am told that tardiness is to be expected on a regular basis so that most passengers arrange arrival times at least
10 n~nutes in advance of what is needed; however, this was beyond the norm.
Later that day, a taxi was requested from University Hospital shortly after 5 p.m. and the dispatcher said that it
would arrive in 15 minutes. However, 30 minutes elapsed before one did show up, and it had room for only one
more passenger. Another cab was requested with a plea that one of the passengers was an 84 year old patient
who had already been waiting for over 30 minutes. The dispatcher pron~sed a cab witl~n 5 minutes. When I
personally initiated a follow-up call, the dispatcher snapped, "You _just called two minutes ago!" I replied that,
in point of fact, it had been ten minutes m~d he hung up the phone in response.
I tried to lodge a complaint with the dispatcher's immediate supervisor but he claimed that he was the highest
ranking person available. In retaliation, the dispatcher apparently canceled our requested cab because we all saw
a Capitol cab enter the drive and exit innnediately without coming into the passenger loading area. By this time
nearly an hour had elapsed during which a frail, old man helplessly waited for transportation home.
I sincerely hope that this incident was just part of a bad work day and does not reflect a patttf411f abuse toward
disregard and callous treatment in addition to the sense of helplessness they must endure.
I plm~ to write the loc~ ~ organization to see if they can poll their local members to detern~ne the e~ent of
the problem. However, if you can arrange for some kind of investigation into the business st~dards of the Old
Capitol Cab company and find that they are not abusing their elderly clients, I would be most grate~l For this
assurance.

Celebrating Women Right to Vote
Remembering Emma J. Barvat
July 24, 2000 ·
Dear City Council, ~:'~!"-"! -~ 2 ,~ i' ~i 5:::.
We are pleased to hear that your next informal meeting on July 31, 2000 will includXim .-
agenda item on how to honor the memory of Emma J. Harvat, Iowa City' s first fd ifii'
Mayor.
There have been mixed reactions by council members to our proposal to rename the Civic
Center after Emma J. Harvat. One council member is not in favor of naming public
buildings after anyone. Some council members have said that they favor honoring Emma
J. Harvat, but want to think about an array of options before saying yes or no to renaming
the Civic Center. A few council members have expressed full support for our request.
It seems clear that the council understands and values the historic significance of Emma
J. Harvat to our community. The question now is focused on how best to honor her. We
would like to clarify the reasoning behind our initial request.
Naming public buildings should be reserved for those who have provided significant
service to an institution, who have helped make positive change in their communities and
for those who broke through some sort of societal barrier that needed to be surpassed.
We believe that Emma J. Harvat qualifies in all three categories.
As a Mayor who brought a sense of order and professionalism to City Hall, Emma J.
Harvat created a new era of responsibility, business-like savvy and accurate record
keeping to local government. This tradition alive and well today. She is a great role
model for good and responsible government.
It is just such a person, who has had such long lasting positive effects on our city, who
deserves the seat of local government named after her.
Being the first female Mayor of Iowa City and of any community over 10,000 population,
also places Emma J. Harvat on a list of those who broke gender barriers in the electoral
arena for the majority in this country.
Renaming the Civic Center after Emma J. Harvat seems a perfect fit. This year being the
80th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution also makes this proposal
timely.
We will be present at your informal meeting on Monday, July 31, 2000 to answer any
questions or provide any feedback you may ask of us.

The Board of Directors of the Johnson County Historical Society at its' July 18th Board

the Emma J. Hatvat Civic Center.
Emma J. Harvat played an influential role in the life of Iowa City, not only as the first
female mayor, but as a businesswoman also. We feel it would only be fitting to honor her in this
way on the 80th anniversary of women's right to vote.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Members of the City Council,
I would like to encourage you to proceed with re-naming the Civic Center
after Iowa City's first woman mayor, Emma Harvat. To my knowledge it has
not been named for anyone to date, and this seems an appropriate way to
recognize the contributions Iowa City women have made to public life in this
community. It is characteristic of Iowa City's progressive community nature
that it would name a woman mayor so soon after women won the right to
vote--a 40 year campaign led by several women from the state of Iowa. This
move would recognize Iowa's great contribution to this historic political
event.
To me naming the Civic Center in this way seems a win-win situation and I
cannot see any reason not to do it
Sincerely.

Subject: Thanks for the Willow Creek Trail!
Dear Members of the Iowa City City Council:
Tonight as I finished my daily walk on the new Willow Creek Trail, I was
moved to say thank you to the City for its continuing efforts to develop a
walking/biking, etc., trail system for Iowa City--and to coordinate it with
trail planning in Coralville and Johnson County.
I moved to this area two years ago before the Willow Creek Trail was
finished. The only place to walk was on busy Mormon Trek Blvd (hot,
treeless, and full of exhaust fumes from the ever-growing number of cars
whizzing by.) Westside Drive was a relatively isolated, horseshoe-shaped
street from which residents could leave only by car or bus via Mormon Trek.
Now that Willow Creek Trail is finished, residents from many different west
side neighborhoods use it heavily for walking, roller blading, bicycling,
and pushing strollers and walking dogs. I am constantly meeting people I
have known over the years on the trail and stopping for conversations. I
see whole families with in-laws and small children and pets out for a
stroll. It is developing into a place for genuine interaction, connecting
people from different neighborhoods and building a real sense of community.
You deserve kudos for pursuing this great community resource. Now I am
waiting for the trail to cross Highway 1 and continue to the shopping areas
along that Highway. When that happens we will have a true alternative to
the automobile for many routine errands.
Sincerely,
Carol Spaziani

Subject: Item for Solid Waste Disposal Committee
Dear Members of the Iowa City City Council:
I was happy to see that you will appoint a committee to advise you on
matters related to solid waste disposal. I would like to ask you to add
this issue to the list of things the committee will consider:
Lack of recycling efforts on the part of apartment owners and condominium
owners' associations who mostly use private refuse haulers.
The number of apartment and condominium complexes continues to grow in Iowa
City. As they are considered businesses, they are not eligible for City
solid waste disposal. Owners and owners' associations hire private haulers
who usually provide dumpsters into which residents deposit all types of
solid waste, including those materials which the City service is recycling
at curbside for individual homeowners. It is not clear to me whether this
is done to keep costs low for the owners and associations or whether the
private haulers do not provide separation and recycling services. At any
rate, everything from yard and garden waste to cardboard to metal and
newspapers go into the dumpsters to be taken who-knows-where by the private
haulers.
I would ask your new committee to consider what methods the City could
employ to regulate this practice and encourage recycling among apartment and
condominium residents. The sheer numbers involved are undermining the
City's commendable recycling efforts.
Thank you for your consideration of this idea.
Sincerely,

Mayor and Councilmen
I have recently purchased a home built by Jeff Miller two years ago. I have
been here 4 weeks and have found with each rain that the back 1/3 of my lot
is flooded with 6 to 8inches of water which is the effluent from the
nieghborhood. Mr. Jeff Miller contends that there is not a water problem.
My
nieghbors however tell me that since this home was buit two years ago, that
there has infact been a problem with standing water following rains. The
developer was MIke Hdge and the engineering firm was MMS. The City
Engineer
1
tells me that he is aware that there has been a problem here because of
poor
mangement of the run off.
I have not had success with Mr. MIller, and I believe that he is under an
obligation to correct the grading and draininage problem. Failure to do so
will generate a significant public health issue because of the water and
mosquito problem.
I have attached a photo of the back yard and will repeat this message with
additional photos. Your assistance in having this problem resolved so the
draininage is appropirate for the neighborhood will be greatly appreciated
by
myself and particularly Jim Albrecht the nieghbor whose lot is alspo very
significantly flooded.

Re SW Estates
Dear Jeff Miller:
Mr. Miller I am told that you are a reputable builder who is commi~ed to providing satisfacto~ home ~d
that you c~e about the community and your reputation as an excellent builder. In a phone conversation last
week you advised me that you were commined to doing the" right thing" m co~ect the drainage and water
pooling problems le~ in SW Estates development in the homes you built. As you ~e aware the grading for
1215 and 1305 Santa Fe Drive has been associated with significant pooling of water
A~er speaking with Mr. Peter Layeck, I asked Van Winkle Engineers to assess ~e water problem ~d give
recommendations on solutions. I have now received their recommendations and a bid for the work to
correct the problem on 1215 Santa Fe Drive.
The grading that you created with building the home has resulted in damm~g up the ranoff from the homes
to the East, and South in the back half of the lot. This results in a pool that has been 10 inches deep and
takes 4 weeks to resolve. The correction involves correcting the grading, entering the store sewer, to
placing tile and a runoff drain in the back yard where the pooling occurs. The cost is approximately
$6,000.00
I understand from the neighbors that a water-pooling problem did not exist until the 10 homes were built.
The Civil Engineer that I consulted with advised me that the grading caused the damming of the ranoff and
that this problem could be anticipated to occur. I also understand that Mr. Foss, City Engineer, and Mike
O'Donnnel, Councilman-at-large, have had difficulty mak~g contact with you.
I understand that you purchased 10 lots and built home over the last two years in SW estates.
The City Engineer and my attomey advise me that the builder has a responsibility to provide adequate
drainage for the lot. I know the home at 1305 Santa Fe Drive had problems within the one-ye~ warranty
period that was repoaed to you.
Presumably we can work out a method for you to correct this problem and maintain your standing as a
reputable builder.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Colleagues,
I am happy to add my voice to those urging you to rename the Civic Center in honor of
Emma J. Harvat.
Although Iowa women gained the fight to vote in 1920 by federal Constitutional
amendment, they did not automatically become eligible to hold state office. For that, special
amendment of the state constitution was required, a long process. The first woman did not serve
in the Iowa House until 1928. Thus when Emma Harvat became Mayor of Iowa City in 1922, she
was one of the very few elected female public officials in the state, and the first female mayor of
any community in the state - or in the nation, for that matter - with a population over 10,000.
Her years in office were years of accomplishment and responsibility. In our word, we
have few civic monuments to women, to inspire the next generation and to convey to all that we
are the beneficiaries of the work of women as well as men who preceded us. The naming of the
Civil Center in Emma Harvat's memory and honor is a small gesture, but a significant one.
Sincerely,

Subject: Traffic Stop Data
Dear City Councilors,
The Iowa City Police Department deserves praise for beginning the practice
last year of keeping track of the racial demographics of all traffic stops,
and releasing that information to the public. It was one of the first law
enforcement agencies in the state to do so.
"Racial profiling" is one of the more controversial issues in
police/citizen relations today, and for good reason. If it doesn't happen
to you, racial profiling may sound like nothing more than an inconvenience
at worst. But when police make routine traffic stops based on the
individual's race, rather than on suspicious behavior or illegal actions,
they assault the dignity of the citizen and undermine a basic tenet of our
society-the belief that all people should be treated as equals before the law.
Of lesser, but real importance, is the fact that racial profiling breaks
the all-important bond of trust between the police and the citizens they serve.
In the absence of hard data, critics can claim that cops engage in racial
profiling here every day. Apologists can swear that the practice never
happens. But without the facts, the only thing we can be sure of is that we
don't really know what's going on. Again, the ICPD deserves credit for
providing information-not just rhetoric.
On July 31, the ICPD released its first annual compilation of traffic stop
data. While this represents an important step in the right direction, the
quality of the information can and should be improved. Only raw numbers
were released in the police report. Based on these figures, I calculated
that nearly 8% of the total was black. But what does even this figure tell
us about the practice of racial profiling here? Without knowing the
percentage of black residents in iowa City, it's still impossible to tell
if blacks are stopped disproportionately. Expanding future ICPD traffic
stop reports to include these percentages would provide a more complete

profiling a problem in Iowa City?"
The ICPD has taken an important first step, and for that they should be
congratulated. They should also be encouraged to take the next step.

Re: CZ0027. County Rezoning Request for Property Located East of Dane Road and West and South of the
Lake Ridge Mobile Home Park
Dear Sally and Members of the Board:
Johnson County has received an application from J.E.B.B., LC, to fezone an approximate '125.43 acre parcel
located east of Dane Road and west and south of the Lake Ridge Mobile Home Park from A'1, Rural, and
Suburban Residential, to RMH, Manufactured Housing Residential. The property lies within Fringe Area C and
within the City's adopted growth area.
At its July 6, 2000, meeting, the Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission recommended, by a vote of 6-0, that
the City Council forward a letter to the Board of Supervisors recommending denial of the requested rezoning due to
its non-compliance with the Fringe Area Agreement, Iowa City's Comprehensive Plan, and the Johnson County
Land Use Plan. The Commission further recommended that if the County is inclined to approve the rezoning
request, that the Council and Board meet to discuss the relationship of the Fringe Area Agreement to this particular
request as well as the future of the agreement itself.
The Commission believes that, in part, the intent of the Fringe Area Agreement is to ensure that urban density
growth occurs within the City, built to urban development standards, and with the benefit of City sewer and water
and other City services, and that growth in the County occur at densities more appropriate for a rural setting and be
directed away from prime agricultural areas and environmentally sensitive areas. The proposed development plan
does not appear to comply with the development policies of the Fringe Area Agreement for Area C, and the
applicant has not agreed to develop the property in accordance with City development standards. The
development of this parcel without annexation may inhibit the City's ability to serve and annex other properties
within its growth area. The development of the subject property without annexation will result in a substantial
population being served by a private sewage treatment plant when a modern publicly operated treatment facility is
available by gravity flow. The proposed rezoning is not consistent with many aspects of Iowa City's
Comprehensive Plan or the Johnson County Land Use Plan. The lack of a useable secondary access for residents
of the development, the amount of grading that will likely be required to implement the concept plan, and
uncertainties regarding storm water management are also of concern. The attached staff report provides more
details regarding these issues and the reasons for the Commission's recommendation of denial.
Based on the above reasoning, Council agrees with the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission,
and therefore respectfully forwards a comment to the Board that the requested rezoning of approximately '125.43
acres from A1 and RS to RMH is not consistent with the policies of the Fringe Area Agreement, the Iowa City
Comprehensive Plan, or the Johnson County Land Use Plan. Therefore, Council respectfully requests that the
spirit and integrity of the Fringe Area Agreement be maintained, and recommends that the rezoning request be
denied.
Sincerely,
Ernest W. Lehman

Re: Robert H. Wolf/Proposed Rezoning for Lake Ridge Expansion
Dear Karin:
This letter will confirm our telephone conversation of earlier today. On
behalf of Robert H. and Erma J. Wolf, we would request that the matter presently
scheduled for consideration by the Iowa City City Council on August 1 with respect to
expansion of the Wolfs' Lake Ridge Manufactured Housing Development be deferred
for an additional period of two (2) weeks or, if there is no Council meeting on that date,
until the next Council meeting. As you know, the Wolfs and their engineers are
presently attempting to resolve some of the concerns that have been expressed with
respect to this development, and those matters have not yet progressed to the point
where action upon this request would be timely.
If you have any questions, please feel flee to contact me.

Dear Council Members,
The expanded development of Lakeridge Estates has been presented as providing an increase in
affordable housing in the Iowa City area. I would encourage all those involved in the decision to go
forward with this development seriously consider the accuracy of this claim.
Iowa City needs low income housing. It needs modest homes at moderate prices that people can
afford and that affords those people with a chance to ge~ ahead in the world or at the very least the
opportunity to have some financial security. Mobile Homes provide neither. Mobile Homes are a band-aid
solution that hurt rather than heal by offering people the promise of home ownership without any of the
benefits and tying them up in what can become a financial nightmare.
Many people cannot afford a standard construction home because of the down payment
requirements. The down payment requirements on a mobile home can be as low as 5%. In general the
purchase price of a mobile home is much less than the median price range of a home in Iowa City.
The standard home loan application of someone with minimal credit history or bad credit will
probably be rejected. Companies dealing with Mobile Home Loans are much more lenient. However, the
interest rate charged by these companies is, on average, approximately 3-4% higher than home mortgage
rates. Banks generally make loans for mobile homes only if they are to be paid off in 10 years. This
payment rate would exclude most people of lower income.
Low down payment and accessible financing are two reasons why many people believe that
mobile homes provide accessible home ownership. By looking a few years in the future the acceptability
of mobile homes as a low income housing solution comes very much into question.
A brand new mobile home with modest amenities measuringl6 x 80 feet, according to local sales
lots, sells for an average price of $42,000. The buyer puts 5% down and has received a loan rate of 11%
Monthly payment on a 15 year note $466 balance after 6 years $31,274
Monthly payment on a 30 year note $395 balance af[er 6 years $38,586
The assessed value of this same mobile home af[er 6 years, according to the Johnson County Treasurers
office assessment formula is $37,800
So after only 6 years of payments you could actually owe more on your home than it is worth.
Following are the costs involved in a $70,000 home. With 10% down and 8.25% interest (avg. rate quote
6/28/2000)
Monthly payment on a 15 year note $611.19 balance at~er 6 years $46,191
Monthly payment on a 30 year note $473.30 balance after 6 years $59,207
The assessed value of this home after 6 years, according to the Johnson County Treasurers office
assessment formula is $84,700
The home owner has accumulated more equity in their home than the mobile home is worth.
The reality of these economics is that when a person of lower income invests their money in a
mobile home they all to often end up owing more on their home than it is worth. Those who are able to
purchase a standard home, build-up equity in their home. They are able to use that property value to
improve their situations through equity loans to pay for continued education for themselves or their
children, to purchase a reliable vehicle to commute to work, to make improvements on the home and
increase it's value further. These economic benefits translate into social benefits to the community.
Owners of mobile homes over time will continue to pay more into their home than it is worth. If
their mobile home is in a mobile home park they will continue to pay lot rent which is liable to increase
over time. The cost of upkeep on their homes will also increase.
Following are a few examples of other economic issues concerning Mobile Home ownership.
Currently some mobile home parks are letting their tenants know that if their trailer is beyond a
certain age they must sell it within a certain time for it to remain in the park. If it is not sold by the
deadline the next buyer will have to find a different park to move it into. This essentially leaves the owner
liable for a mobile home that will be close to impossible to place in another mobile home park, it will be
expensive to move if it is movable at all. The result will be that their selling price will be next to nothing,
if they can sell it at all. This example is from a situation now taking place at Golfview Trailer Park in
North Liberty.
Do any of you recall what Regency mobile home park looked like 15 years ago? I cleaned house
for a woman that lived there. It was very nice, a pool and playground area, nice streets, a community
center, many of the homes where top of the line, lawns and landscaping were kept up. Have any of you
been there lately? I have friends who live there. It's not a nice place anymore. What happens to these
other mobile home parks as time passes? Granted, Bob Woolfs other parks are maintained very well. So
was Regency. What happens when Mr. WooIf sells his properties? What happens as these mobile home
parks age? What happens to the people that live in them? In the past year Iowa City has recently had
experience cleaning up two such facilities, As I understand it two more mobile home parks are scheduled
for clearing sometime in the near future.
I live across the street from the property that this expansion is planned for. It is a beautiful natural
area, of course it would be nice if it could stay that way but that is not very realistic. Iowa City is growing,
I grew up here and I love this town. I hope that Iowa City grows in a way that supports the people that
live here, so that they can return that support and commitment back to the community and so that we can
all be proud of it. This is not just an issue of zoning it is an issue of economic justice and social
responsibility. Please support the future well-being of Iowa City and her people by voting no on the
proposal to expand Lakeridge Estates and by working with the Johnson County Board of Supervisors so
that they will also support a positive form of future development in this area.
