Dear Tom:
Enclosed is a copy of our property tax limitation calculation. The bottom line is that we would
expect to lose $888,000 in our general fund in FY02 based upon what we believe to be the
intent of this proposed legislation. if such legislation were approved it would require the City
Council to make severe budget reductions. I would strongly suspect the Council would choose
no. jt to proceed with several of the new initiatives we have incorporated into our budget plan. The
following list represents a summary of the new initiatives in our operating budget.
New digital video equipment for Senior Center $ 25,300
New informational signs and replace gates at City Cemetery 6,700
New youth program (Trail Rangers) in our parks 7,500
Recreation Center building maintenance (new ceiling, window
replacement, sound/light system for children's theater)
building is 36 years old 100,000
New staff for expanded library (3 positions) 120,000
New firefighters (9) for new Fire Station 426,000
As you can see, the total of these new initiatives is not sufficient to cover the proposed shortfall
in revenue. Therefore, current programs and services would also have to be eliminated. I
believe I can assume the City Council will work to avoid lay-off of employees. However, the
cumulative effect would make it difficult to avoid such circumstances. This would certainly be a
real tragedy, given the significant investment we have in our employees.
While the calculation does not include debt service and trust & agency levies, I am not sure I
read that into the intent of this proposed legislation. If these levies were included, we would
most certainly see a severe decline in our credit rating, an additional cost to the taxpayer. The
revenues would be so limited that we could not meet our proposed debt service. Our new library
has an annual debt service of $1.6 million (20 years at 6% for $18.4 million bond issue). Other
proposed capital projects debt merely compounds the severity of this proposed legislation.
If you need any additional information, please feel free to call.
Sincerely,
Stephen J. Atkins
City Manager

Subject: re: letter about the upcoming free shuttle vote
Dear members of the Iowa City City Council:
This letter concerns the upcoming vote on whether or not to remove "free"
from the free downtown shuttle. My teenage son and I are personally and
ideoloOically opposed to the possible change for at least three reasons.
First, although we are aware that students constitute a large percentage
of the shuttle ridership, we do not believe this factor should lead to
cha~ging ~iders. Directly Or often indirectly (through exorbitant rent
p~ymen~s by the students who rent, which translate into property taxes
and profit for the landlords), students pay for city services. University
studonEs (including my own daughter) shop, eat out, and attend activities
in Iowd City. In fact, this town probably would not prosper without the
University of Iowa and its students. For this and other issues, I ask that
you consider looking at students for what they are: residents of Iowa City
for four to twelve years (if you count graduate and professional students
toO).
In addition to University students, nonstudents (some who are elderly or
challenOed either physically or mentally) also ride the free shuttle. It
helps
many of these people, especially those on fixed incomes, get closer to
grocery shopping and laundry facilities. What's more, my son rides the
shuttle to get closer to his high school, then walks the rest of the way.
With my own limited income and the expenses incurred raising two
children in Iowa City for the past fourteen years, the bus system in general
and (~or the past two years since moving to the north side) the free shuttle
in particular have made it possible for the three of us to exist without
driving much, which leads to my third and final point.
Having a free shuttle reduces the number of cars driving to and parked in
downtown Iowa City. Less congestion and fewer emissions make for a
sa~er environment. And noting the high degree of pedestrian traffic
downtown, I appreciate the potentially increased safety from having fewer
cars on the streets, and hope the council appreciates it too.
Every day my son and I see the benefits to residents of Iowa City
(including ourselves) of having a free shuttle (cost, convenience, and
safety -- shortterm and longterm). What's more, this free shuttle is one
city service that not only benefits residents of Iowa City (increasing safety
by reducing the street congestion and auto emissions), but also benefits
the downtown businesses (bringing more clients and shoppers there
while simultaneously freeing up parking spaces for the customers who
do have to drive).
Yes, you as a council could easily change to a fee system and the shuttle
might still retain some of its riders (although I predict their consistency of
riding will also decrease). But we are asking you to think about the
reasons we have posed, and to not make that change.

before penning our letter.)

Subject: Downtown Shuttle
Dear Iowa City Council Members,
I would like to present a petition tomorrow night concerning the Iowa City
Downtown Shuttle. I was wondering if this is the proper time to present this
document? I began this petition when my mother, who happens to drive the
shuttle during the day, told me what was going on. I do not believe that
shutting down the shuttle for the summer will do any good. During the summer
the Shuttle still has one of the highest riderships. Many people find that
the shuttle is their only mode of transport. Why would we want to stop them
from getting to the places they need to go. As of today I have 225
signatures and should have more by tomorrow. I hope I will be able to
explain more tomorrow at the meeting. Thank you for your time.

Dear City Council Members:
We wish to thank each of you for your consideration and ultimate decision to
financially support this community wide celebration. Your donation will help to defray
some of the costs associated with putting on such an event in our community. This will
allow us to continue to support the many other projects that we provide for our citizens.
The Jaycees hope that you will be able to attend this year's festival.
This year we are presenting an afternoon and evening of celebration in the park that
will truly take advantage of the entire park and all it has to offer. The Jaycees' Fireworks
Festival will be held on Saturday, July 7th, 2001. This will allow the people in our
communities to enjoy two firework's displays and for everyone to enjoy the Iowa City
Jazz Festival on Sunday as well. The fireworks festival will include music and
entertainment, games, rides, food and other events for the entire family and community to
enjoy. The festival will start at 4:00 p.m. and will wrap up with the largest fire~vorks
display ever seen in Iowa City; potentially with a music radio simulcast. As you ~know,
the total budget for this community event will surpass $30,000.

February 16, 2001
Dear Council Members:
I am writing to express my concern over particular items included in
the city budget for the police department. They have come to my attention as
part of a public document, which is attached, requesting Federal Funds for
the Johnson County multi-Agency Drug Task Force and the S.C.A.T. unit of
the Iowa City Police Department. Whether this grant is continued or not, the
document outlines the activities of this unit that are funded by the taxpayers
of Iowa City in part.
Of particular concern is the statement in this document that "the drug
of choice in our area appears to be marijuana." In other words, the activities
of this unit are directed against marijuana users primarily, despite the fact
that every scientific study of marijuana has shown it to be a non-addictive
substance. I recognize that marijuana use is illegal, but I am questioning
whether public resources should be targeted toward this particular illegal
activity.
On page 18 of the grant application there is a list of"measurable
objectives" for the Iowa City Police Department, including:
1. The task force will arrest 45 individuals for felony drug violations.
2. Utilizing confidential funds and confidential informants, conduct 25
controlled buys to identify individuals involved in the distribution of illicit
drugs.
3. Conduct 45 knock and talks or garbage searches in response to citizen
complaints or suspected illicit drug activity.
4. Utilizing various investigate techniques, officers will execute 20 search
warrants to develop illicit drug cases.
5. Of the drug cases investigated, 6 will be referred to a federal level.
The police department it not only setting arrest quotas for drug
offenses, primarily marijuana, but setting quotas for garbage searches.
Having the police rummage through our garbage is a practice deeply
offensive to the majority of people of this community. Even more alarming is
the "knock and talk" technique, which means that the taxpayers of Iowa City
are funding a unit that attempts to circumvent the constitutional protections
against illegal search and seizure by talking their way into the houses of
suspects. I do not believe the people of Iowa City support this open attempt
to circumvent the federal constitution.
Great emphasis throughout the grant application is placed on
streamlining and increasing the forfeiture procedures. It is not widely known
by the general public that forfeiture can result in the Iowa City police
department seizing the property of anyone accused of a crime long before
they are ever convicted. This money is then used to fund ongoing operations
of the police department, giving them a powerful incentive to charge people
with crimes in order to seize their property and enhance the budget of the
Iowa City police department without the normal requirements of public
scrutiny and approval.. Many people who lose property to forfeiture never
recover it even if they are never convicted, because of the embarrassment and
complexity ofthe procedures required. The State of Utah recently passed a
law prohibiting the use of any form of forfeiture before conviction of a crime.
The police department also operates with arrest quotas for "controlled
buys" in which users and dealers are legally entrapped by the police
department. Worst of all, there are quotas for handing offenders over to the
federal government, which operates a system of prisons for drug offenders
who receive outrageously lengthy sentences for drug offenses. A person
recently received a federal sentence, for growing marijuana, of 34 years in
federal prison without possibility of parole.
I believe that you should send the budget back to the City Manager,
and ask him to take out funding for garbage searches, knock and talk
operations, controlled buys of marijuana, quota arrests of marijuana
offenders, the pre-conviction forfeiture of the property of drug offenders, and
the practice of handing over quotas of drug offenders to the federal
government. These activities are wrong. Furthermore, they do not have the
support of the people of Iowa City. If you were to put a referendum on the
ballot: "shall the following activities of the Iowa City Police Department be
funded by the Iowa City City Council", it would not receive 20% of the vote.

February 20, 2001
To the Iowa City City Council:
I am here to ask that the ICPD budget be reduced. It is the local analog to the federal defense
budget. The FY02 ICPD budget as proposed by the City Manager is 20.5% of the entire
General Fund - $7,412,273 efthe $36,031,450 total General Fund budget.
Reduction could be done quite easily by not repladng officers who leave or retire i.e., by affi'ition;
3 retiring officers would free approximately $150,000. The police chiefs salary is $98,400 - in
centfast, the Johnson County Sheriff (who oversees a far greater area, supervises civil
processes, runs the jail, takes care of water rescues, oversees the Hazmat team and Civil
Defense, etc.) is paid only $67,000.
Additionally, the SCAT team should be discontinued. The community does not support it, I am
giving you copies of pages from the grant proposal that was submitted successfully to fund the
SCAT team; this grant will run Out in October of this year, when local funds will have to be used to
replace federal ones, Federal funds plus local match total about $145,900. One of the pages lists
the Goals and Objectives of the project; among them are:
· arrest 45 individuals for felony drug violations
· using confidential funds ($12.000) and confidential informants, conduct 25 controlled
buys
· conduct 45 knock and talks or garbage searches
· execute 20 search warrants to develop illidt drug cases
· refer 6 cases to a federal level
· refer forfeiture proceeds dedved from 10 narcotics distribution cases
· exchange information and/or assist in 10 drug investigations involving agencies outside
Task Force
That sounds to me like a set of quotas to be met. And the need to refer 6 cases to a federal level
possibly explains the DEA-assisted raid on the unfortunate Hemp Cat store in the Hall Mall. As a
letter in today's Daily lowan asks, '",/Vhatever happened to 'the land of the free and the home of
the brave'?"
Did any of you read and approve of this grant proposal? Are you as Council members fully aware
of the activities of your police department?
Do you think it's a worthwhile use of City money to pay police to rummage through peoples'
garbage looking for seeds and stems and residues of madjuana? Do you think that hunting for
marijuana-usera makes the City a better and safer place? If ,so, that attitude is uninfon-ned, and
actually will earn for you the disgust and dislike of thousends of otherv, ise completely law abiding,
tax-paying, family-values-oriented citizens in both town and gown circles. To say nothing Of
causing further misery and endangerment to those who are ill and would like to use it for medical
reasons. I challenge each of you ask a few people chosen at random, Iowa Citians who are
strangers rather than everyday acquaintances, whether they'd rather have $146,900 of dry
money go into funding the SCAT team or to human services. Since marijuana is by far the drug
of choice in this college community, the local War Against Drugs is really a war on madjuana, and
is a waste of a great deal of money,
It is time to remember the 4th Amendment to the Constitution and time for local authorities to
abide by the spirft of it regardless of what kinds of knots the Supreme Court ties itself into in order
to legitimize violations of it by law enforcement in recent years. "The right of the people to be
secure in their persons, houses, papere, and effects, against unreasonable searches and
seizures, shall not be violated..." Do you think the Founding Fathers would approve of the
SCAT team? The ninja suited knock and talkers? The trash sifters? The plainclothes individuals
wearing wires? I think they would not.
It Is no wonder that people voted 'No' on the jail bond referendum. It was their only way to
protest what Is happening with law enforcement in our tow~.
In sworn testimony in a court case recently, a Task Force officer said that an anonymous tip
would result in a knock and talk at anyone's house even that d the judge. So I suppose Council
members would be included as well unless the officer was lying under oath, which I am told
happens.
I personally believe the War on Drugs is a futile thing: as futile as Prohibition was and at least as
bad in terms of creating cdme where it did not exist before. It's time to stop looking for trouble
and instead to start paying more attention to the needs of the Iowa City and UI community.
Please reduce the ICPD budget, discontinue the SCAT team, and use that funding for the Human
Services Agencies, the Animal Shelter, the Park and Recreation Services and the Community
Events organizations. Enable the Iowa City Public Library to transfer some of its long-time
'temporary' employees to permanent status with full benefits. Transfer more money to community
programs that are likely to reduce and prevent future problems by keeping underprivileged,
troubled, and 'latchkey' children out of trouble - for example, the Family Resource Center, UAY,
Neighborhood Centers, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters. That would be a far better investment than
squad cars, radios and vadous sorts of surveillance devices.
Today's Daily lowan quotes the City Manager as follows: "The council has spent 17 hours of
deliberations and has gone through this with a fine-tooth comb. I don't expect many changes." I
would like each Council member to tell me now why the ICPD budget has not been presented to
you by the City Manager and discussed by the Council in a public meeting? Remember: it's
more than 20% of the General Fund budget and includes $325,600 in capital expenditures.

Subject: Alcohol Ordinances
Dear City Council Members:
My name is Jan Capaccioli and I am a substance abuse counselor for the
University of Iowa. I was a student at the University before I was a
substance abuse counselor, and I have seen both sides of the underage and
high misk, or "binge', drinking craze. I am not writing this letter in an
atnempt to tell you what to do, but to share with you some of my
professional and personal observations.
The majority of the students that I see, about ninety percent, have been
arrested for alcohol-related offenses, and most are underage drinkers. I see
students who have been arrested for Operating a vehicle While under the
Influence (OWI's), Zero Tolerance, campus related offenses; possession of
illegal drugs (e.g., marijuana, cocaine, etc...), and situations involving
self-endangerment (ER visits, passing out, etc...). If the students have
already done some type of treatment, or have attended previous substance
abuse programming and re-offend, then I usually see them for a substance
abuse evaluation. My schedule is constantly hooked and I have seen to date
about 127 OWI evaluations since the beginning of the school year. Some
students admit to me that they knew they shouldn't have been driving after
drinking, but they also inform me that getting access to alcohol is easy in
Iowa City. It is a scary thought to be driving in Iowa City between the
hours of 12:00-7:00 a.m., due to the sheer number of students who are
drinking and driving and probably are not getting arrested.
Even though most students will admit to me that drinking is an "expected"
behaviox while attending the University of Iowa and that "there is nothing
else to do in Iowa City;" they will also attribute their arrests, or
tickets, to "bad luck" and not admit that they are misusing alcohol. When I
was a student at the University of Iowa, I was of legal age to drink and I
was a responsible drinker, but there were a few times in the beginning when
I participated in some moderate to high risk drinking. I can remember
entering bathrooms at various bars and seeing puke on the floor and in the
sinks. I have known fellow classmates who were arrested for public
intoxication after passing out in the snow, or being obnoxious to others
while attempting to stumble home, or back to their residence halls.
Everyone knows that alcohol "misuse", or as it is clinically worded "abuse,"
is a problem in Iowa City. Underage drinking and high-risk drinking,
otherwise know as "hinge drinking," has been around for many years and it
has been "tolerated" by many individuals. But it is now the time to take
action and address the problem head on. No one person can ever force another
person to do something he/she does not want to do. Everyone needs to be
responsible for his/her own behaviors and want to change, but there has to
be people out there that are willing to help decrease the problem by
limiting the access to alcohol. Yes, it will not eliminate high-risk
drinking behaviors, or stop students from finding other "alternatives" to
drink, but it will make a difference, and right now that is something we
need tor the City of Iowa City.
The City Council has a great opportunity to be positive role models in
regards this difficult issue. I urge you to pass the ordinances, and
furthermore, to consider restricting bar access for those twenty-one and
over.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and read my observations.
It I can be of any help to any of you, feel free to call me at 319-335-8386.

I must warn you that I am a very busy substance abuse counselor and it is
hard to get a hold of me, but leave a message and I'll return your call as
soon as possible.

Dear Council Members,
I am writing to voice my support for the alcohol ordinances being proposed
in downtown Iowa City. When my husband and I first considered moving to
Iowa City, we spent a weekend in the downtown Sheraton Hotel. The Sheraton
was under construction at the time, so to enter the building we had to walk
into the pedestrian mall area with our suitcases in hand. It was about
10:00 on a Friday night and our first view of Iowa City was of several
hundred college students waiting to get into bars, some barely able to walk,
shoutinq obscenities and successfully intimidating us to quickly get inside
the hotel. Several times since then, friends and family have come to visit.
Althouqh the service at the Sheraton was wonderful, we have never
recom~eended it to any of our visitors.
As I watched the last City Council Meeting on television, I felt a great
deal of sympathy for the business owners in the ped mall. It is hard for me
to imagine what it must be like to try to run a successful business in the
midst of all the vomit, noise, and beer bottles.
Now, we are preparing for a move to the Des Moines area. Although this move
is happening for several reasons, one of these reasons is certainly that
Iowa City has always felt to us like a college party town. Iowa City has so
much to offer - art, sports, entertainment...but it isn't a place that we
would want to raise our children...especially not after hearing the
couragous words of a 16-year old girl at the Feb. 6 City Council meeting.
In closing, I would ask the council te consider one thing. No one that I
heard speak on Feb. 6th threatened to close any bars. In fact, I heard
several people mention (on both sides of the issue) that you can have a
healthy relationship with alcohol and it can be a lot of fun! So, if
students are drinking responsibly, why do they oppose this ordinance? It
seems that the ordinance is attempting to prevent underage and hinge
drinking - not responsible drinking.
Thank you for your time and consideration of these concerns.
Sincerely,
Denise Ramsey

Subject: Alcohol Ordinances
Dear Councilors:
I am writing to you in support of the ordinances that have been
drafted to 1) provide additional detail re: license application
process; 2) outline civil penalties in accordance with state law; 3)
expand City Council provisions regarding persons under legal age and
4) limit "Happy Hour" specials and out-of-sight sales.
I watched Ehe proceedings of the Feb. 6 City Council meeting on cable
TV and was appalled by members of our community who believe the
students are being singled out or targeted by these alcohol
regulations. Many of them didn't have a clear understanding of the
ordinances and their impact and were making false assumptions, when
they should have been asking for clarifications, instead. They seem
ooncerned that students are being victimized. By whom? If students
are being victimized, it's by the alcohol industry and those within
our society who hold "permissive" attitudes toward excessive alcohol
use. Alcohol is a drug that has addictire qualities and the most
vulnerable population of users is our youth.
In a recent edition of West High's newspaper, the WEST SIDE STORY, an
18 year-old young woman wrote a biographical piece about her own
struggle with alcohol and drug addlotion that occurred in her junior
year. Part of her activities included hanging out with college
students and going to the bars. The story was a chilling reminder
that the welfare of our cosnunity's children hangs in the balance on
this issue and to not pass these ordinances would send the wrong
message to our local teens and their parents. We need stronger
monitoring and enforcement of existing laws, as well as new control
within the drinking establishments over how liquor is served, by whom
and to whom.
I am greatly encouraged by the discussion that occurred at the Iowa
Alcoholic Beverages Commission meeting held Feb. 15. Iowa's higher
education institutions and the IABD are coming together to admit
there's a state-wide problem and consider appropriate and effective
legislative reconur~endations. It is vital that we raise bar admission
age to 21, along with adopting the proposed ordinances.
Sincerely,
Jane Hoshi

Subject: proposed city ordinances
I am writing to let you know that I support the proposed alchohol ordinance that would limit
drink specials, prohibit out of sight sales, and penalize bars serving underage drinkers. In
fact, what I would really like to see is bars only allowing people 21 years of age or older into
their establishments.
I think it's time to start holding bar owners more accountable.

MEMORANDUM
TO: ' ' '
DATE: February 19, 2001
RE: How excessive drinkers harm others
At your Feb. 6 public forum on the proposed ordinances to restrict drink
specials and hold alcohol licensees responsible for sales to minors, some
members of the Council expressed interest in having statistics on how
excessive drinkers harm others.
Attached are statistics from 1993, 1997 and 1999 Harvard School of Public
Health surveys of college students. These statistics give percentages for the
number of students who said they were harmed by other students who
drank too much. For each year, I have provided figures for both the
University of Iowa and the national average (the exception is that I was
unable to get the latest national statistics for 1999). I have also included
statistics on the number of UI students who drink and drive.
In each case, you will see that the UI's numbers are higher than the national
average. But whether you look at the UI's or the national statistics, the story
is the same: Nearly 8 out of 10 college students reports that they have been
harmed in some way by others who drink too much. As I said at your
public forum on Feb. 6, that's simply not fair.
How should we respond? Certainly, people who drink too much --
including University students -- and then harm others should be held
responsible. But we need to demand responsibility from the people who
manufacture and market alcoholic beverages. Putting an end to drink
specials that encourage drinking to get drunk makes sense. So does getting
tougher on retailers who sell to minors, who are among the most likely to
drink with the purpose of getting drunk.

Subject: Congratulations!
Even though I no longer live in the Iowa City community, I would like to congratulate you and to encourage in
your attempts to curb binge drinking especially amongst younger persons in Iowa City. As we all know, binge
drinking is a pathologic drinking pattern. And further, we all know that drinking establishments encourage it
with their "drink specials". Regardless of bars' rationalizations and excuses, they deliberately promote drink
specials and consequent binge type drinking behavior. Iowa City has many young people---young people via
the University especially--and this is a "big business" for Iowa City. Young people are vulnerable and we all are
responsible for them during their formative years.
It has been my experience, via hearsay and with my own children, that bar owners try to completely abrogate
any responsibility for out of control drinking. In fact, one of my children fell after drinking at the Field House
Bar---he was 20 at the time and was celebrating a friends 21st birthday with the 21 pitchers for $15
"promotion." My son was 20 and old enough to know better. However, when I confronted the bar owner,
mostly to just inform him of what was going on, he essentially "turned on me" and said that the total
responsibility was mine as a parent and/or my son's. He further told me that is what they carried insurance for. I
felt this attitude was totally irresponsible and arrogant. Bar owners could car less about the outcome of drinking
other than the profit it generates.
So, again, I want to encourage you to attempt to curtail drink specials. In my opinion, all drink specials and
promotions should be made illegal including happy hours, etc
Thank you!
