It appears the Police Department is constrained by two sections of the Iowa Code. They are 805.1 and 811.1, which detail the offenses whereby a person is not eligible for bail, release on condition, recognizance or surety. In the cases of 708.11 (stalking) a person also may not be released in lieu of arrest. It appears in other cases a cite and release policy of arrest is permissible. There are decisions an officer must make considering cite/release or arrest. They include unsatisfactory identification; refusal to sign; halting a continuing offense; under the influence; insufficient ties to the jurisdiction; and a previous failure to appear. During our discussions, there was concern over related restrictions on citations in lieu of arrest, such as the necessity of finger-printing and photographing those persons arrested for serious misdemeanors. There are state restrictions as well as related federal regulations that require the finger-printing of individuals arrested, and the finger-print information being directed to the Department of Public Safety or the FBI within two working days. It is also conceivable that it may require a judge or magistrate order related to booking. Additional levels of approval to secure a citation in lieu of arrest as an option may be required. Simply spoken, it is not quite as easy as it is often portrayed. The Police reviewed for me the statistical numbers involved with our arrests as they relate to total calls for service, number of bookings/incarcerations at the County Jail, and marijuana-related charges. These points seem to be at the heart of the community's discussion and debate. Police Data - Calendar 2000 66,303 calls for service A call for service is a call made to the Police by a citizen requesting a police service as well as contacts initiated by a police officer with a citizen. 24,438 police situations These calls reflect a situation where the nature of the contact between the police officer and the public could *represents 36.8% have resulted in an arrest. of calls for service 3,705 individuals taken This is the number of intakes at the Johnson County jail into custody attributed to the Iowa City Police. *represents 5.6% of calls for services *represents 15.2% of police situations mgr/mem/cite-reldoc October 30, 2001 Page 2 411 mariiuana arrests This number represents those occasions where madjuana was the only charge filed. There is no *represents .06% calls distinction made to whether the charge was possession for service or delivery/distribution. *represents 1.7% of police situations *represents 11.7% of individuals in custody We believe the Police practice cite and release to the fullest extent practical, and the impact on jail population attributable to the enforcement of marijuana laws appears negligible. mg~mem/dte-rel doc City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: October 25, 2001 To: City Council ~ From: City Manager Re: Public Transit -- Loss of State Aid The adopted FY02 Budget for Public Transit projects shows an end of the year balance of $409,400 or 11.5% of operating expenses. The ancitipated reduction in State aid and increased costs will reduce projected cash balances for FY03 to $325,000 or 8.8%. Increased costs, declining revenue base (loss of State aid) will exacerbate the financial position of our Public Transit Fund.

To: Steve At i~ ~ Re: Cedarwood HUD Opt-Out ~ / On October 25, 2001, the Iowa City Housing Authority received an email from Cindy Blair, HUD Housing Specialist in the Regional Kansas City HUD office. The email gave notice to the ICHA that HUD had received Cedarwood's initial notification of their intention to opt-out of their HUD contract on September 22, 2002. Current Cedarwood tenants received their opt-out notice per HUD requirements on September 22, 2001. Approximately 3 months before the expected Cedarwood contract expiration, the Kansas City HUD office will contact the ICHA to see about administering vouchers for the families affected by the housing conversion. Upon approval of the ICHA's application, budget authority funds and special administrative fees will be reserved at the Section 8 Financial Management Center. Once approved, eligible tenants will receive tenant based Section 8 Vouchers and be able to stay in their existing unit (if various requirements are met) or move into another unit appropriate to the family size and financial situation. Please keep in mind that Cedarwood may change their mind anytime up to the contract expiration date of 9/22/02. I 11-01-01 ~ IP5,,,,~ October 24, 200~ · ~ To: Steve Arkins FTom: M~sha C. Goodman Subject: question Re~ardin~ Other Jurisdictions and Co~acts Steve, ] understand a ~uesfion has bee~ raised ~e~ardin~ possible contacts Eo~ ~ima] congo] se~ices within other~ufisd~ct~ons. In ]997 ChieERJ Wjnkelhake was contacted b~ Ch~e~ o~ University Depa~ment oE SaEe~ to discuss the possibility Eo~ se~jce on university p~ope~ related si~ations. The ~esu]t o~th~s d~scussion was ~ unwritten that we would assist the university, similar to the wa~ the police a]~ead~ do, when the~ need assistance with ~ animal ~e]ated emer~enc~. It was a~eed that we would in no wa~ neglect an~ calls within the city or allow university assistance ca]Is to take precedent ove~ ~owa C~ty ca]Is. Since that time, most oEour assistance has been t~ou~h inEo~afion ~jven over the phone. We have aveTa~ed Eou~ calls a ~ear when our oE~ce~s have actual]~ had to ~o out to assist. In spring of 1998, the Johnson County Health Department approached me. The health department is in charge of rabies quarantine in the county area and for years had been maintaining suspect animals at a local veterinary office during their quarantine period of 10 days. The vet had decided to cease quarantining animals and the health department needed a location to do so. During a meeting with the Johnson County Health Department and Johnson County Sheriff it was revealed that historically an average of eleven animals had been quarantined a year. I spoke with Captain Tom Widmer and Chief RJ Winkelhake regarding charging our regular fee for impounds and quarantine. It was agreed that due to the small amount of numbers, we would be willing to take in these quarantines and bill the county for them. We were also asked if we could agency assist when an aggressive animal that needed to be impounded became a problem for health officers or the sheriff as they lacked the training and equipment to deal with these problems. Since this agreement was made we have assisted the county one time. Since 1998 we have quarantined four animals for the county. In May of 1999, Pat White, Johnson County Attomey, contacted both the City Attorneys office and myself. Mr. White requested a meeting between himself, county supervisors, health department, county sheriff and The Iowa City/Coralville Animal Care and Adoption Center to discuss a proposal for animal control services in the county area. Upon completion of this meeting the county was asked to write up and submit to Iowa City a formal request for outlining exactly what kinds of service they would be looking for. Pat White sent a draft to both my office and the City Attorney outlining their requests. A new meeting took place to discuss possible costs to the county for these services. The county supervisors at the time were discussing the budget and were trying to get an idea of costs. We have not heard back form them since that time. Currently there is no discussion with any jurisdiction for services. University Heights recently has contacted us for possible service to their community. No discussion has taken place as of yet. City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: October 22, 2001 To: Chuck Schmadeke From: Kim Johnson Re: Sidewalk Repair Program - 2001 In 1997, the Engineering Division initiated a program for the inspection and repair of deteriorated sidewalks in Iowa City. In addition to providing improved safety to pedestrians, the expanded program eliminates the "hit and miss" problems associated with the old policy of inspecting on a complaint basis only and aids in the City's exposure to liability claims. The program calls for the inspection of all sidewalks in the City once every ten (10) years by dividing the City into ten (10) geographical areas and concentrating on one area per year. In addition, the Engineering Division continues to inspect sidewalks on a complaint basis throughout the City. We are now in the fifth year of our program and have just completed the inspection of sidewalks east of the Iowa River, west of Seventh Avenue, south of Jefferson/Rochester and north of Burlington Street. These property owners have been notified of the needed repairs and have until May 1, 2002 to arrange for the necessary repairs. In addition, we are currently working on completing the remaining repairs from the Longfellow neighborhood that the owners have elected to not repair. Over 900 property owners were notified of needed repairs and a July 1, 2001 deadline was given to complete the repairs. Cooperation from the property owners was tremendous in that approximately 85% of them complied and arranged for the repair to their sidewalks by the stated deadline. We have hired two contractors to repair the remaining sidewalk and the costs associated with these repairs will be invoiced to the adjacent property owner. Because of the large number of sidewalk in need of repair this past year and the greater amount of time necessary to carry out the program, we are now re- evaluating the 10 geographical areas and are considering the expansion of the number of years in which to complete the inspection of the City. The sixth year of the program will continue this coming spring with the inspection of sidewalks in the Lucas Farm area. We will be working with Marcia Klingaman, Neighborhood Services Coordinator, to notify the residents through the neighborhood association of the upcoming sidewalk inspections. City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM DATE: October 25, 2001 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Marian K. Karr, City Clerk RE: Announcement of Board and Commission Vacancies At your formal meeting of October 23 a question was raised concerning designated vacancies, those that required special knowledge or designations such as a licensed electrician on the Board of Appeals, and whether those special vacancies were duly noted on the agenda. Such vacancies are noted on the notice published in the newspaper, distributed by request, posted, and viewed on the City's website. Additionally those vacancies are noted at the time of the appointment on the agenda and the cover sheet included in Council's packet.

Date: October 30, 2001 Re: Master Plan update The Aixport Commission is currently working on two Master Plan projects. The first project is an obstruction removal project. The Commission received a grant from the Iowa Department of Transportation in the amount of $ 241,560 to remove obstructions identified in the Master Plan. The obstructions range from trees and light poles to a building. The building to be removed or relocated is the hangar building (the United hangar) located in the Runway Protection Zone for Runway 25. This will be the most expensive obstruction to remove. An environmental impact study and Section 106 historic review will need to be conducted before the obstructions are removed and before work is done on other construction projects. The other major project is an addition to Runway 07. When the threshold for Runway 25 is reloeated 800 feet because Riverside Drive is in the Obstacle Free Area, 800 feat will be added to the other end of the runway, which is Runway 07. In simplest terms, Runway 07/25 will be shifted 800 feat to the west. This will probably be a three-year project. Phase 1 will be the mlocation of Dane Road. The FAA has allocated $670,701 for this project. Phase 2 will be the site prep for the addition and Phase 3 will be the paving, painting and installation of the lights. Phases 2 and 3 will each be over $1,000, 000. The FAA will fund 90% of the project. Unlike planning and land acquisition projects, any money spent on construction before a gram is issued will not be reimbursed. A grant must be issued before beginning construction projects. There are other Master Plan projects, but the emphasis in the next two to three years will be to complate the construction associated with Runway 07/25. Them is the possibility that the Commission and Council will revisit the idea of purchasing all or part of the Ruppert property (between Wal-Mart and Menards). That is not a priority at this fnne. Cc: City Council Airport Commission Sue Dulek, Assistant City Attorney City of Iowa Cityi I MEMORANDUM October 30, 2001 To: City Council 'r,~ From: Karen Howard, Associate Planne C,~ Re: Southwest District Planning Process I want to keep you informed about the planning process that the Department of Planning and Community Development is coordinating for the Southwest District of the City. After conducting some preliminary research and interviewing various interested stakeholders this past summer, we are hosting a public planning workshop on November 8 at West High School. Approximately 3,500 invitations were sent to property owners, residents, business owners, developers, neighborhood associations, and other interested parties. We are very pleased with the response. We are expecting a crowd of approximately 150 people at the workshop and an additional 100 people have requested to be on our mailing list. Information has also been posted on the City's website and disseminated through area schools and businesses. The workshop is designed to provide a comfortable forum for the exchange of ideas about the future of Southwest Iowa City. After a brief staff presentation, participants will work in small "planning teams" of six or seven people on a number of tasks regarding housing, commercial development, transportation, and parks and open space. The planning teams are provided with extensive background materials to help them in the process. A second planning workshop is tentatively scheduled for November 27 for citizens who would like to discuss some of the issues and ideas that surface at the first workshop in more detail. Based on all of the input received, staff will then draft a plan document and map for public review early next spring. Based on the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission, the plan will then be forwarded for City Council review and adoption.

He said that the speed at which the officers respond and the compassion and dignity that is extended to clients of the Center by the responding officers has been noteworthy. He and his staff have been quite impressed by this level of professionalism and he wanted this appreciation communicated to the officers. Please share Mr. Trefz's comments with your officers and congratulate them for a job well done. Good work!

F/LED 2411 Tudor Drive Iowa City, Iowa 52245 2~1 OCT 31 ~H I1:07 October 28, 2001 CIT7 Lisa Dewey, Director IOWA, CFE Y, 10WA SEATS 2000 James Street, Suite 11 l Coralville, Iowa 52241 Dear Ms. Thar~ you for your letter of October 25, 2001 in response to our request for winter transportation for Sarah. The schedule which you outlined in the letter is ideal, I. There are two additions/changes: Beginning December A. Monday pick-up at Iowa State Bank: between 3:45 and 4:15 PM. Sarah leaves work earlier that day for a cooking lesson at home. B. Friday: pick-up from home between 12:10 and 12:40 to arrive at Iowa State Bank no later than 12:50 p.m. The above were part of her ride system last year. lI. Confirming the information in your letter: Beginning November 15m: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, pick -up between 7:40 AM - 8:10 AM and arrive at Target no later than 8:20 Beginning December 1 ~ Monday: pick up between 8:45-9:15 AM and dropped at Nautilus between 9:05 and 9:25 AM. Friday: pick up 7:55 AM-8:25 AM and dropped at Nautilus between 8:20 and 8:40 AM. Tuesday through~Friday: pick-up at Iowa State Bank between 4:45 and 5:15PM. Ill. Call to Kathy, scheduler. Before I received your letter, I called Kathy to see if Sarah's rides were in the system. We reviewed the schedule in the computer. Please ask Kathy to make any changes that are necessary to follow the outline in your October 25t~ letter plus the two additional requests above. IV. With regard to ride parameters: 1. We assume that the scheduling is arranged for "Requests for Drop-offTime.' This is important, since Sarah needs to start work at Target T, W, Th at 8:30 A.M. and on Friday at the bank at 1:00 p.m. 2. In reading the guidelines, it appears that when drop-offtimes are the basis for scheduling, that a person can arrive 2 hours prior to the request. Please clarify that the guideline means that Sarah could arrive at Target at 6:20 AM. I hope this will not the case. 3. We can easily work within the 30 minute window for pick-up.. 4. We recognize that weather may sometimes interfere with service regularity. 5. We recognize that there may be a 55 - minute permissible ride. Hopefully this will occur rarely. Please let me know ifI (A and B) on page 1 are possible. We look forward to a smooth beginning to this winter's service and acknowledge that it is a shared service. Sincerely, Elizabeth D.

Iowa City, IA 52426 Miller-Orchard Neighborhood Association Barbara M. Buss, Coordinator 747 W. Benton St. Iowa City, IA 52246 Dear Barbara: I am in receipt of your 10/26 letter. I appreciate you taking time to correspond when selling your house and moving. The transportation numbers are not surprising - books have been written on the evils of motoring. At the September meeting, discussion focused on the park. If people around here weren't drunk on other people's money, they could have had a park when the City aquired the land. All it takes is a walkway off the hill a few feet into the woods, a concrete slab, two picnic tables, a grill, and a water spigot (if practical.) Installation and maintenance would be dirt cheap. The Garden of Eden concept is totally stupid and I will use every opportunity to shout it down. My political beliefs aside, Douglass loop residents would have to walk 8 blocks to visit the park, which is outside the neighborhood perimeter. I checked with the City and children are tresspassing on property at 910-912 Hudson when they go to and from school. There is no legal way that Benton or Hudson can be accessed from the west end of Douglass. A park that is in- accessible to one-third of the neighborhood i s not a neighborhood park. I hope City Hall is wearing its bifocals, because that's where a copy of this letter is going. Surpassing the Benton Hill Park in arrogance and absurdity is the widening of Benton Street. You mentioned your hus- band's observation that a trip over Benton Street takes only five minutes longer at peak periods than in the middle of the night. I live half way between Benton and Hwy. 1. Accessing the business complex at the west end of Benton via Hwy. 1 probably takes about 60 sec. longer be- cause of the more generous speed limit on Hwy. 1. Some streets are adaptable to arterial use, Benton is not. I think the City wants a bumper-to-bumper 4 lane from Riverside Dr. to a de- velopment out in kingdom come. According to "Getting There" author Stephen B. Goddard, traffic engineers recognized as early as the 1920s that increasing roadway capacity invites more traffic and you end up worse off than having done nothing. Hence my opinion that motoring be phased out in Iowa City - and I think the expertise exists to help us do it. At the October 2 forum, Councilman O'Donnell remarked that cars are not going to go away. What I heard him say is that he intends to sit on his butt and do nothing to improve mobility in Iowa City. When the Roosevelt principal appeared at the September meeting to in- form us that motorists were calling in and telling her of children leaping into the path o~ oncoming traffic, the fate of Benton Street was sealed. Drive stakes into both ends of the hill and let that be the end of it. There are other ways on and off the hilltop. We've been damn lucky so far. But I can envision a midday winter storm, a kid slipping in the street, and a car coming down the hill unable to stop. As a motorist, I avoid the hill on inclement days when school is in session, but I see the kiddies coming and going every day as a re- minder of the danger that lurks over there. I think one of Mayor Leh- man's "special interest groups" is pushing for the widening of Benton Street - probably a paving contractor. I never volunteer for anything because I spend so much time at the type- writer. Blessed are they who get off their cans.
