The Park is located within a few minutes' z,Talk frofa the following daycare centers: University Fre- School at 212 Myrtle AvEn ue, .elrose Day Care Center at 701 Melrose, Dum Dun Daycare at 309 Mslrose, eriend- ship Daycare at 1L7 rlelrose, Alice's Bijou Daycare at 121 rlelrose, and Boleo Daycare at '113 Varsity Heights. Whose daycare centers use the Park for outings, but unless the adults accomvanying the children have brought balls or frisbees with them, there is really very little for the children to do in the Park unless a train hap- pens to be passing by. ,lith its proximity to so many daycare cuaters and its s,)tting in a neighborhood of one - family ciwellinl;s, Brookland Park seems a logical place for a raodest installation of play equipment. Respectfully, 7 r f;r.s, slilliam f,arland !/7 I NOTICE OF PUBLIC f01RING ON PROPOSED SALE OF ALLEY Notice is hereby given that the City of Iowa City, Iowar proposes to convey to John J. Reiland, now deceased, and Ella M. Reiland, an alley in Block 46 of east Iowa City, an addition to the City of Iowa City, rare, partioii- ularly described as follows: The alley running in a north -south direction in Block ferty- six (46) in east Iowa City, Iowa, an addition to Iowa City, Iowa, said alley being located between lots five (5), six (6) and seven (7) and lots four (4) and nine (9) in said Block forty-six (46) in east Iowa City, an addition to Iowa City, Iowa, according to the recorded plat thereof. The said Block 46 is bounded by G Street on the north, H Street on the south, Sixth Avenue on the east, and Seventh Avenue on the West. A public hearing on the proposal to convey the alley above described will be held on the 12th day of October, 1976, at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Civic Center, 410 E. Washington Street, Iowa Cityc IcWa. The purpose of this proposed conveyance is to clear a title objection. The alley was conveyed to the Reilands on July 31, 1964, but no resolution of the Council supporting the deed can be found. Dated this q f A day ofDcfio f jeY , 1976, Abbie Stolfus City Clerk 4 *City of lowp Cite MEMORANDUM DATE: Septeni er 17, 1976 TO: The Honorable Mayor & Council Members FROM: Bob Bowlin, Asst. City Attorney RE: Reiland Resolution & Quit Claim Deed Dear Mayor Neuhauser & Menbers of the Council; On July 31, 1964, the City gave a quit claim deed to John and Ella Reiland for an alley in Block 46 of east Iowa City, an addition to the City of Iowa City. 11be deed was signed by the then Mayor, Mr. Berger, and attestecl by the City Clerk. No resolution of the Council authorizing that deed is of record at the Courthouse, nor has the City Clerk been,able to fincl;a resolu— tion, although they have conducted a diligent search. Mr. Reiland is now deceased, and Ella Reiland now wishes to convey the property. The attorney for the prospective buyer has raised a title objection that the deed is not supported by a resolution authorizing it. It is our recannendati.on tha=t the Council now authorize this transact=ion by passing a resolution and issuing a new deed. we believe that the procedures a'utlined, in Chapter 364.7 of the Code, relative to the sale of property by the City, should be followed so that the conveyance wzll be valid. I have attenpted to detennine Aiat consideration was paid for the alley but have been unable to do so. The deed recites $1.00. and other good and valuable consideration. I did speak with Mrs. Reiland, and she went to a fair amount of trouble to dig through her records. All she could tell me was that the deed indicated $1.00 of consideration. I do not know how much was actually in fact paid for the alley. We are assuming that the transaction was above board in all respects, and we are recanrending this procedure to clear this title defect. If you have any further questions please dcn,t hesitate to contact ne. Thank you. , i� city of Iowa tit* MEMORANDUM WiTE: August 26, 1976 TO: Bob Bowlin FROM: John Hayek RE: Sale of Alley in Bast Iowa. City, Iowa, Block 46 Dear Bob: I believe you have received a copy of a letter from John Sladek to me concerning the above. It would seem to me that this is probably something that we ought to go ahead and take care of. Passage of this resolution would be to take care of title objections since apparently the City has already conveyed the property. Would you please draft the necessary resolution, reciting that no consideration is required at this time since this is to clear title objections of a previous conveyance and get it placed on the agenda.

He indicated i that he wouldO�'satisfied with the resolution by the City indicating that the conveyance in 1964 was nova being approved and that this resolution was to clear any title objections which might have existed because of the failure tO show by resolution the approval of tlua 1964 deed. In addition, he requested that the resolution contain authorization for the Mayor and Clerk to issue a new Quit Claim Deed for the property. It is my recollection that I have already forwarded to Bob Bow.lin a copy of a proposed Quit Claim Deed which could be executed by the City of Iowa City if you find that this resolution is in order. 14� j If you have any further questions or if there is I anything I can Bio to assist your office in concluding this matter, please contact me.

Civic Center 410 East Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Re: Sale of Alley in East Iowa City, Block 46 Dear Bob: In regards to your letter of: July 16th, I think the information you need will be as follows. On July 31, 196, the City of Iowa City, a Municipal corporation, conveyed to. John J. Reiland and Ella M. Reiland, husband and wife, the following described real estate: The alley running in a north -south direction in Block 46 in east Iowa City, Iowan an addition to Iowa City, said alley being located between lots 5, 6, and 7 and Lots 4 and 9 in said Block 46 in East Iowa City, an addition to Iowa City, Iowa, according to the recorded plat thereof. As per our previous conversation, there was never a resolution passed approving the sale and at this time I would appreciate receiving from the City a deed to the.pre- sent titleholder, Jerry E. wear, single, a Quit Claim Deed stating that this is a corrective deed of the previousconvey- ance to John J. Reiland and Ella M.. Reiland, dated July 51, 1964, and recorded in Book 265, page 471. It would appear that it may necessitate a hearing as is now provided by the code for vacation of alleys and convey- ance of city property. I have taken the liberty of drafting a proposed Quit Claim Deed and if this meets with your approval and is properly authorized by a resolution of the City, please execute and re- turn to me and I will see that it is placed on record. r n^ G(SI a JRS:dsh (� � Yours truly, SLADEK & LYNCH n R.

Patrick White t� �, 1 First Assistant County Attorney As you may know, the area crime commissions in Iowa were re -organized somewhat within the past year. Johnson County is now within the area called the Eastern Iowa, Area Crime Commission. This new area differs from the old East Central area by the addition of Scott and Muscatine counties and the elimination of Cedar county. As a result of this re -organization, new Articles of Agreement were necessary. They have now been drawn and were approved by Johnson County Regional Planning Commission at its regular meeting September 15. One final procedural step is necessary locally and that is re -affirmation of Johnson County Regional Planning Commission's membership in the now organization. Most of you have passed this type of resolution before for purposes of the old East Central Iowa Area Crime Commission. Please adopt a new resolution along the lines of the attached format and forward a certified copy to Emil Brandt, Johnson County Regional Planning Commission Director, at 22'Y South Dubuque in Iowa City. Please call if you have any questions.

SCOPE OF PROBLEM In this report, architectural barriers refer to steps', curbs, doorways; restrooms, public telephones, and water fountains. These archi- tectural features, designed by and for able- bodied persons, promote accessibility for many persons. However, these same features are barriers for other individuals, limiting their accessibility and/or mobility. In the Iowa City municipal buildings, there are many architectural barriers. In the Civic Center, a janitor trying to deliver supplies to the supply room must maneuver his/her loaded dolly down a number of stairs and through numerous normal-sized doorways thus the size. and weight of the load test the skill of the janitor to conquer architectural barriers. A wheelchair occupant is confined to the lobby where he/she cannot pay the water bill, license the dog,,get a building permit, complain to,a code enforcement official, go to the bathroom, or even reach the public phone to call a taxi. =11 Identifying the people whose activity, is hin- dered or thwarted *1 architectural'barriers, involves a spectrum of individuals and $i,UUa- tions -- the old,, the -,Young, the�iphys cal,l!r-fit, and the physically handicapped:, Tlie foyl;a�ring list suggests some types of ind_'Viduals'ighb. would benefit from a barrier+free env�,i _' "'nt; I Child with a wagon [ " Person with diminished hearing Deaf or blind person; Elderly persq:n with bad 'hip Employee temPQrarilyF on. crutq]�es; Janitor transpoxtingpsupplie:z,_ Disabled vetEjran Paraplegic victim of. auto acL`denV, Person with Glub fgEjt or, mis;ng, 1#b Mother in,la�e pre gtilancy .Child with b;rth,defect ,, Individual with HuntingtQnss,.S�isease,,,_ Multiple sclerosi Muscu]{i_ dystrophy;, Parkinsonss disi;ase�}or,a spinal cord injury, tl ., The list is not all-inclusive but; ekemplifi�es the, range of individuals involve;41_ some ,axle physically impaired only during.icerta}n Mpg�ific tasks, others for• only ,a few moy hst and, bialy others for .a more, lenanent; ,bigils. -2- It is t IS& of the population in estimated tha Iowa City are hindered by architectural barriers because of a health or chronic physical con- Thi's number includes -42% of the becomes dition. whose mobility' 6s and older) Suring the aging population limited due to 'various causes o ulation aged process. 10.2% of the of work d lability• all 16 to 64 have some sort of h sical'ly limited persons include birth Other p y ed 1 to 15 with percentage of children aged airmentso stuaccldentseand hospital defects or impair diseases, and a group tem orarily out-patients (including veterans) P living in Iowa City- re of 15% for Iowa City is her than the 1'3.8% State of Iowa This estimated figure artment of slightly higher the U.S. Dep figure identif?ed band Welfare.3 However, the.quantity Health, Educations uality and be due to the quality difference may s to Iowa City.

A portable ramp is available for one flight of steps at a time, but it is too steep for independent use by wheelchair occupants. The steps and floor surfaces are satisfactory for the average library user. The second floor location and small size of the library rest -rooms, plus the narrow aisle between bookcases, make them inaccessible for wheelchair occupants. The auditorium restroom is also too small for accessibility. A lift should be added for access to the in reference area and checkout desk, A new, larger library building designed without architectural barriers is the only way to completely solve the problems caused by the multiple levels and crowded conditions.

The Special population Involvement pro- gram draws many physically limited individuals to the Recreation Center. The limited facilities provide barriers to this group. At least one of the city's swimming pools should be accessible to special groups of the population. Because of buoyancy, swimming is one sport that even severely physically limited individ- uals can enjoy. The recrea- tion center pool is the most logical choice because its controlled temperature enables twelve months of use -26 - IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED The current situation re- quires no improvement.

The Finance Department has in recent weeks accomplished additional work aimed at updating the 1972 parking, Policy. Because of the importance of parking considerations to urban renewal project planning, a policy update will occur as part of the Zuchelli, Hunter and Associates and the City staff urban renewal work program. A copy of the April 1972 adopted Parking System Policy together with a copy of the 1976 staff update are attached.

PARKING POLTCY X (fq �/-� � � r� This is a request for approval by tho City Councia of the Parking Systes Policy for the central business district of Iowa City for 1976. "Phis policy is similar to the one adopted February 25, 1972. There have been added some additional policy statements, among which are statements on parking for the physically limited, the need for construction of surface lots or multiple story parking facilities, and statements concerning the use of peripheral lots for long-term parking. 1. The City Council hereby recognizes and determines that local government will provide the major share of future parking requirements for the central business district and the areas adjacent thereto in Iowa City. Z. The City Council deems it in the public interest to substan- tially reduce on -street parking in the central business district. (See page 8, line 5) The City Council hereby establishes and determines that the policy of the City of Iowa City will be to concentrate parking facilities in convenient and economical off-street locations in the central business district and the areas adjacent thereto. In this regard, the policy of the City Council will be to provide convenient long-term permit parking for central business district employees and other individuals in peripheral lots adjacent to the CBD. (See page 7, line ;d) b. In addition, it is the policy of the City Council to provide accessible and convenient short-term parkin„ in and surrounding the CBD for shoppers. c. Finally, it is the policy of the City Council to provide accessible and convenient parking in.and surrounding the CBD for physically limited :individuals. (See page 7, line 34 and Planning Pi Zoning Commission's recommendations of August 5, 1976. The City Council also deems it necessary to locate off-street parking facilities appropriate to planned internal and external vehicular circulation patterns in. the central business district. In order to carry out this policy, the following details should be implemented: a. Parking on -street will be substantially reduced in stages as off-street facilities are constructed to replace them. -I- b. Future off-street parking needs will be provided for in the construction of multi-story parking facilities and/or compleentar;� surface lots. c. Off-street parking facilities should be attendant operated whenever possible and it shalt be the goal of the City Council to establish attendant controlled off-street facilities in conjunction with the Urban Renewal development plan. i d. The planning and construction of all off-street facilities, whether multi-story or surface lots, shall be so designed to be aesthetically pleasing and a complement to the downtown business district. j e. All parking facility construction shall be coordinated witji the development of a viable mass transportation system for the City of Iowa City and the surrounding region with specific provision for pedestrian and bicycle use and parking. i f. It is hereby directed that the staff develop a detailed parking plan to carry out the overall policy contained in this Resolution_ s. The City .Manager is hereby authorized and directed to carry out the provisions of this Resolution. -2- 0 0. APPENDIX Background and History Development of the parking system as we know it today had its earliest beginnings shortly after lj'orld War II as the local business economy began to expand rapidly in the face of pent-up consumer demand. The ability of shoppers to have convenient access to downtown business establishments was hindered by the lack of control of street parking and the absence of private off-street parking locations for workers,, students, and those coming to the central area on business. As the result of a recommendation of the City Council's Parking Committee in August 1946, 155 automatic parking meters were authorized to be installed around all sides of the j main central block bounded by Washington, Clinton, College, and lhtbuque Streets as an experiment in providing for the turnover and control of the most desirable parking locations. In October of 1947, an additional 250 manual meters were recommended for installation to extend the original area to Burlington on the south, Iowa Avenue on the north, Capitol Street on the gest,, and to Lucas Street on the east. The purpose of this expansion was to complement the original one hour control with Tabmotors, provid^. nt two hours of parking in the central area. (ho of Controlled Municipal Parking). The first ordinance establishing meter zones was subsequently passed on November 28, 1947, Setting enforcement hours on the 400 meters between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. daily except Sunday, and until 9:00 p.m, on Saturday. By 1954 the City had expanded the metered area to Jefferson and Market Street on the north and to south of Burlington on Clinton. In November 1954, Associated Consultants reported that 850 street meters were placed in the area mentioned and that no off-street parking was yet metered. This report also indicated that average s was 85-89% and that the mix of parkers in - occupancy of available spacereport reco�nended that the University, cluded only 9.7% shoppers. This of Iowa consider additional off-street parking for faculty and students and observed that violations of parking time limits were so prevalent in the CBD that " m it would be possible to serve roughly 50 percent ale cars in the metered area if the time limits were obeyed." Their reconmiendation was to raise the 25w fine to discourage "meter feeding" and as a deterrent to overtime Parking- ethe Cit's frinthe fort beganitole and expandlate 19SO's and rapi.dly in providing off-street metered p<<xkina facilities close to the central area. However, Harland BartholoioW and Associates reported in 1960 that average occupancy in the mitered area was still 8Sa and that many of the vacant spaces were inconvenient and unattractive to customers and patrons of the C13D. They recorsmended -3- 0 • a five year plan of expansion and control extending curl) rmetered area to Wdison, Court, and Gilbert Streets. They also suggested a substantial :increase in short term parking rates to help facilitate desired turnover. During the next few years the metered area was extended into these areas; however, no increase in the rate structure was forthcoming and occupancy remained at a high level as demand for parking spaces accelerated. By 1964 the demand for parking in downtown Iowa City was reaching a peak. 'file City Council contracted with Powers and Associates to complete a study of the location and economic feasibility of a, major parking facility in the downtown area. During the course of this study, major changes were made in parking alignments and. metered spaces were added in the center of Iowa Avenue. The Powers report recommended the feasibility of a 300 car ramp to be constructed facing College Street between Wbuque and Linn Streets and the sale of a $900,000 revenue bond issue to support construction. The report also commented on the need for improvements to several off- street facilities and that a study be made of the parking, problem in the area around Mercy Hospital. Since the middle 1960's, the metered system has been expanded by approximately 50%, mainly in the area of off-street locations and a series of extensions of the street meter system. Blore significantly, however, greater emphasis has been placed on the identification of the problems in the CBD and the formulation and approval of plans for revitalization of the central urban area. The financial feasibility of: expanding the parking system in particular was thoroughly studied in 196£1 by Barton Asclman Associates, Inc. Although tempering their remarks against the approval of the R -1I Urban Renewal plan, they identified the need for additional parking and recommended the acquisition of several off-street parking locations. Subsequent to the approval by the federal goverment of the City's renewal plan, Barton-Aschman was asked to update their 1968 study and provide direction for the development of the type of parking facilities needed in the CBD. (See Table II and II -A, Regulations in Municipal Parking by Type and Quadrant) Their report of October, 1971 was the basis for Council action to develop P parking facility on Linn Street. However, the development of the parking facility was voted down because of 'the lack of a 60q- majority vote in 1972. Since that time, numerous court cases involving the questions of single vs. multiple developer for the urban renewal area have delayed a decision on the construction of any parking facility. The City Council, however, continues to. seek ways to improve parking for individuals coming to the central f4 business district. -4- 0 0 Consistent with the identification of parking needs, the Cit)' consolidated and reorganized them management nageme t responsibility espon tensity for the parking system in February Supervisor was employed who exercises sUrervl•sory authority for meter and lot maintenance, enforcement personnel, and r Of collection of meter revenue, and reports to the employees including Finance. This division now has 11 full-timeve 8 parking enforcement attendants who are involve in enforcement of motor regulations. ]enforcement of parking regulations haser been atsi resolution to for many years. In 1947, May purchase an additional 250 meters, citing the added problems of Personnel devoted to enforcement and t11e coection of unpaid ll parking violations. Naturally, enforcement of regulations is of curb necessary if the desired philosophy meters as a public policy is to be carried out. As a result of: greater enforcement supervision, the number of parking tickets lrritten has increased since 1968.

WE number of violations, and the need to provide proper Callow-up, has resulted in the employment of six individuals in the Department of Finance for accounting and collection activities. These collection acLivities include sending out delinquent notices and setting appear- ance dates for people with delinquent ti.ckets to appear before Magistrate Court. Becauno of 11ome Rule, the Magistrate Court replaces the old Police Court but basically has the some duties and responsibilities; for example, deciding the guilt or innocence of individuals who have been ticketed for illegal or overtime parking and collecting fines and fees. These fines and fees are kept: in and used from the General Fund and are not part of the Parking Revenue Fund. Despite the fact that the rage structure has been changed very little since the system began, revenue production has been consistently good because of high demand and short supply of available spaces. Also, it is anticipated with Urban Renewal and the increase in commercial development, demand for parking trill continue to be strong. However, for a number of years liberal use of excess Revenue Fund balances have supported considerable expansion of other City operatians, Among these are the acquisition of the Civic Center lot, Kealy Cleaners property on Gilbert Street, the Bus Depot and South Market Square properties. If this trend continues, improvements will either have to be deferrcd or financed by the use of revenue bonds. At the close of FY 76, the system will be free of debt and will. have acctumulated a fund balance of $339,000, which will be needed for the acquisition of land and construction directly related to Urban Renewal development and replacement of parking lost in the C13D. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING SYSTLNI After a general review of the development of the parking system, it would seem appropriate to provide some comment on our view of the system as it now exists, especially in light of the indicated need for expansion, by a minimum of 1,800 new spaces by the year 1950, as noted in the Barton-Ascbman memorandum, August 1971. Economic Aspects In response to the often demonstrated need for additional parking, historically metered areas have been extended in ever widening circles surrounding the CBD. Although accomplished within a certain economic justification and ease of exp,msion, this method can no longer be counted on to provide the type of parking that is most needed to complement redevelopment in the central urban area. The direction to he taken is toward substantial reduction of on - street parking and an increase in the number of off-street parking spaces. This, of course, can be accomplished with the construction of additional surface lots and/or multiple story facilities, but -6- 0 0 location and proximity to frequently used retailers are important considerations. 'fable I, for example, shows how tho porcwntago of on- and off-street parking spaces has virtually reversed since tho 1972 Parking Systems Policy, with 70% on -street parking and 30% off-street parking in 1971, as opposed to 48% on -street and 52% off-street parking in June, 1976. Also mentioned previously is the ever present problem of enforcement of meter regulations. The City now has a total of 16 employees, 2 more than in 1971 - 11 are involved in enforcement and 5 are in follow-up and collection of parking violations activities. Because of this enforcement problem, it is apparent that the City may need. to add further enforcement mechanisms: 'rhe citation, as an aid in combatting the increasing, number of delinquencies. This citation is personally served on individuals who have accuunulated a certain minimum number of illegal or overtime parking tickets. 2. TO aid in the processing of the over 12,000 tickets written per month, new techniques, including computerization, will need to be explored for a more efficient and econo- mical parking system. 3. The "Denver Boot" (on appeal) and towing afford an opportunity for the City to get immediate jurisdiction over the charged vehicle. Because of the increasing demand for long-term parking for employees who work in the central urban area, permit: parking in peripheral lots was established. There were 21.4 permits i:ssuod on January 1, 1976, which represents a corresponding number of spaces. The numnber of spaces assigned permits represents 10% of the total number of spaces within the central urban area. Employees of the City who part: in the Civic Center Lot pay $5.00 per month for parking, whereas others not employees of the City pay $10.00 per month. All other permits in peripheral lots are $10.00 per month. (See Table IV,& IV -A, Parking Revenue Per Lots and Quads) I 10 15 Wo 25 30 Because of the need for convenient and accessible parking for the physically limited, it is the policy of the City Council to ilacorporate, 35 where feasible, convenient and accessible parking stalls for 'the physically limited in the construction of surface lots or multiple story parking facilities. Parking spaces for the handicapped shall be set aside and identified with signs for use by individuals with physical disabilities. The minimum number of assigned spaces shall be as follows: a. A minimum of one such parking space for the handicapped shall be provided and in addition at least: one space per 50 spaces shall be set aside for the handicapped. 40 0 4► 2. parking spaces identified for the physically limited shall be located as near as possible to the main public entrance of a single building and centrally located whore practical in parking lots that serve more than one building Operations F Stifety The 1972 policy noted tide problem of allowing parking on both sides of nearly all streets, along with parking along the median of Iowa Avenue, and ]low this created innumerable opportunities for accidents to occur. 'file prohibition of on -street parking in the central business district could greatly improve the situation. For exampile, the amenities program on Washington Street reduced on -street parking and has made Washington Street a little safer for pedestrians and reduced the possibility for accidents to occur. Although metered parking still occurs on Washington Street, motorists should be discouraged from parking by either loading zones or higher per hour rates. It is the policy of the City of Iowa City to substantially reduce the number of on -street parking spaces within the COD before 1980. It is a generally acknowledged fact that the traffic: carrying capacity of a street is appreciably diminished when parking is allowed on the street. Therefore, it is necessary to place emphasis on the control and coordination of parking to allow for smoother circulation in and out of the central urban area. In addition, because of the problems of coordination between the functional activities of traffic control., parking, airport, and transit, it is .recommended that these functions be comhined into one department to allow for a mote con- centrated effort on the transportation needs, of which parking is a part, of the citizens of Iowa City. Aesthetic Coils id rations It is the objective of the City's Urban Renewal Project to upgrade the central business district. This program includes provisions for the construction of facilities which are designed to make the central business district a more aesthetically pleasing and convenient place to shop. As these activities are carried out, and as new buildings are constructed and existing buildings are remodeled, it would be desirable to eliminate the visual distraction created by parked automobiles. One factor meriting consideration is the amenities program on Washington Street. {Pith the planting of trees and the landscaping, as well as the change in the traffic flow and parking restrictions, Kashington Street is becoming a fucal point for Iowa City. Another factor meriting further consideration is the prohibition of parking along the median on Iowa Avenue. Initially, this area was designed to be a wide boulevard extending from the Old Capitol eastward to the Governor's Mansion. The area east of Gilbert Street is a bouleavard and is pleasantly landscaped,, while the area,west of Gilbert Street is presently occupied by two rows of parking. There is little doubt that the view eashard on Iowa; Avenue from Gilbert Street is more visually pleasing than the westward view. The phaseQ removal of parking along streets would have a positive influence on 5 0 11 rho overall appearnncc of the central W intns district. Additionally, it would reduce the number or ha ardq causal by the conflicts WON, huses trying to maintain an adequate headway, parked cars, pedestd nts, and bicyclists. It is recognized that, while it will not he possible to immediately eliminate all on-stroet parking, it would be possible to provide for h1 the gradual elimination of on -street parking; over a number of years while making adequate provision for olf-street facilities. In summary, we find that Iowa City's parking system is probably not unlike that of many other communities across the country. Persons visiting downtown to shop and to transact business rely to a very large degree on metered curb space. If the downtown area is to attract patrons in the future, it will be necessary to provide highly convenient and attractive alternate patron facilities to replace curb parking which will be eliminated by Urban Renewal or in order to improve traffic movements. The need for additional parking in the form of surface lots or multiple story parking facilities as well as peripheral parking, both with parking for the physically limited, is immediate. In conclusion, we are of th^ opinion that previous decisions regarding parking in the CGLI have been made in reaction to a developing situation rather that% long-range planning. Expansion of the present system can only result in continued non-productive use of available resources and poor public accoptancc. -9- CITY OF IGdk CITY • PARKIHO PETER LOCATIONS AND C19 BY QUAU�ZTS 1 1 S 1 Ell, Ell �"""'I• I7;7Zo 77TI,-%%l%%l%lTll-� 1 1 1 PMAM-13-1 \2 yT TO11 t O\cRaalcr i \ rSaSN;NGN ( t•'f t y � � h o!.42� rc..r , ' Ell 1.qLI,RECR�7TaT!�cioal \'ioII?aIAT CENTER La q� .......rte} ..,o,,......+.-+ A k� A { I �; \pU9000E \� • (.\AW LOT, 1 ; / /iii/ ( f OU10 .: '_ Q�; �1 ? �g9A0 3 I QUAD k i i;, t'aI. 1 • "�'M1' 5' 95 10' 153 r. 2' 75 5' 23 2'45 108 1' 133 1' 121 2' 99) 1' 20 I 16 x' 417 !;' 7 155' In.crf aTrmj;rs ,- , (1)Change of date to fiscal year (2)Transit Ridership is based on a 12 month calendar year basis.

The ability of shoppers to have convenient access to dow� business establishments was hindered by the lack of control o£ sntrtaw',t parking and the absence of private off-street parking locations for'' workers, students, and those coming to the central area on business:_;] As the result of a recommendation of the City Council's Parking Com,yi mittee in August 1946, 155 automatic parking meters were authorized to be installed around all sides of the main central block bounded by Washington, Clinton, College, and Dubuque Streets as an experimeji* in providing for the turnover and control of the most desirable par{iilr ing locations. 1n October of 1947, an additional 250 manual meters were recom,` mended IowaaAvenuenonothetnorth, Capiexenthe tolaoninlathe Wesrea to tand' om Lucas Street on the east. The purpose of this expansion was to com_, Aliment the original one hour control with meters providing two hour,II of parking in the central area, The first ordinance establishing meter zones was subsequently passed on November 28, 1947, setting eni-=i forcement hours on the 400 meters between 8:00 a.m, and 6:OQ p,m, daily except Sunday, and until 9:00 p.m, on Saturday.

In 1947 Mayor Koser vetoed the resolution to purchase an additional 250 meters citing the added proble.^.s of per- sonnel devoted to enforcement and the collection of unpai3 parking violations. Naturally, enforcement of regulations is necessary if the desired philosophy of curb meters as a public policy is to be carried out. As a result of greater enforcement supervision, the number of parking tickets written has increased from 62,62 in 1968, to 99,993 in 1969, 127,476 in 1970, and to 153,435 in 197". This number of violations, and the need to provide proper follow-up, has resulted in the employment of six individuals in the Depa-trient of Finance for accounting and collection activities. Despite the fact that the rate structure has been chenged very - little since the system began, revenue production has been 4onsist.- ently good because of the high demand and short supply of available spaces.

At the close of 1972, the system will be free of debt, but there is very little cash reserve availaale to Pip - ante expansion and/or to provide for other capital improven.ents 0 0 ANALYSIS 01: I:XISTINii SYSTIN After a general review of the development of the parking system, it would seem appropriate to provide some comment on our riew of the system as it now exists, especially in light of the indicated need for expansion by a minimum of 1,800 new spaces by the year 1980, Economic Aspects In response to the often demonstrated need for additional park- ing, historically, metered areas have been extended in ever widening circles surrounding the CBD. Although accomplished within a certain economic justification and ease of expansion, this method can no longer be counted on to provide the type of parking that is most need -' i ed to compliment redevelopment in the central urban area. Also men- tioned previously, is the ever present problem of enforcement of meter regulations. The City now has 14 employees involved in en- forcement, follow-up, and collection of parking violations. At this II point in time, each increase in staff to cope with the problem Would it involve a diminishing return in benefits to the City, and in our opinion would be a non-productive use of available resources. Some new methods need to be found to effectively utilize existing person- nel. Financially, the parking system will be free from debt at the close of 1972 but faces perhaps its costliest period of expansion with very little available resources. The ease of expansion and small initial capital outlays can no longer be deciding factors in planning for the future. Public commitments to parking in the CBD should be made in such a way as to allow for the greatest expansion flexibility at the lowest possible economic cost. In order to ac- complish this objective, major changes in the rate structure and geographic concentration of new spaces will probably be mandatory. Operations and Safety The present policy of allowing parking on both sides of nearly all streets, along with parking along the median of Iowa Avenue provides enumerable opportunities for accidents to occur.

The immediate annexation of all unincorporated territory surrounding Iowa City sufficient to meet the needs of industrial and residential growth in the next twenty years. 4. The city should protect areas suitable for industrial development. 5. The City Council should enact and inforce a housing code to encourage and maintain high standards of housing. 6. The city entered into the federally subsidized low rent housing project for the elderly, and for those persons under sixty-five with sub -standard incomsE. 7. Elimination of sub -standard housing by use of a federal urban renewal clearance program and rehabilitation for the area set forth in the Bartholomew Report on Housing. 8_ Encouragement of multiple dwelling units near the Central Business District. City of Iplovai City MEMORA rQDUj" DATE: October 7, 1976 TO: City Council FROM: City Manager RE: Earth Scraper Attached is a memo from Dick Plastino requesting a budget amendment to purchase an earth scraper to be used at the landfill. The Manager concurs with this recommendation. An analysis of landfill operations indicates that only $4,908 of the total cost is not available. This difference can be absorbed in the FY 77 Public. Works budget. 0 i City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM GATE: September 17, 1976 TO: Neal Berlin, City Council FROM: Richard J. Plastino RE: Earth Scraper la the FY 77 budget, funds were requested for an earth scraper at the landfill. Due to budget limitations, this item was deleted. Later, an excavation contract budgeted in the FY 76 budget was awarded at the landfill and the winning bid was several thousand dollars less than the budgeted amount. It appeared that the extra funds could be used for an earth scraper and provisions were made to use these funds. Unfortunately, in the transition from FY 76, to FY 77 budget, the funds were re -allocated. This memo is a request to budget un -allocated funds to purchase an earth scraper. Bids have been taken and the winning bid is $19,500. for an earth scraper. The purpose of an earth scraper is to obtain dirt from the stockpile i at the landfill and bring it to the solid waste fill area to pro.bide six inches (611) of cover dirt over the solid waste that iS deposited on any given day. Approximately 100 cubic yards of dirt ere needed each day to cover, and the City presently is using a John Deere compacter with a 1� cubic yard bucket to move this fill dirt;. This is an inefficient way to move dirt and it results in severe wear on the John Deere compacter. The main purpose of the compacter is to smash the solid waste into a smaller volume so that the landfill lasts a longer number of years. Carrying dirt reduces the, amount of time the John Deere compacter can work on the solid waste and carrying dirt in a compacter with steel wheels with cleats is extremely" hard on the machine. This machine has a replacement cost of approxi- mately $80,000. In summary, the earth scraper should have been purchased when the g ess landfill was first opened and it does represent'a continuinential need of the landfill. Failure to purchase the scraper simply transfersi; the cost of owning a scraper into shortened landfill life and shdrtenedi life for the John Deere transfer If a wn cause severe budget disruptions, it is stronglyrecommendedthatthis scraper be purchased at this time. cc: Tom Struve 0 City of lows.0 C118 MEMORANDUM DATE: October 8, 1976 ✓deal Berlin, City Manager TO: Dennis Kraft, Director of Community Development FROM: Paul Glaves, Redevelopment Program Coordinator 1 RE: Urban Renewal Weekly Activities 1.

Kraft, Director of Community Development RE: Re -inspection of single Family dwelling units k At last Monday's informal Council meeting, the question was raised as to why the City's housing inspection staff was re -inspecting single family dwelling units. There are two reasons why this is being done, and they are (1) some of the single family dwellings in question are renter -occupied rather than owner -occupied. It has been in the past and continues to be the City's policy to inspect all rental units, whether they are single family or multi -family. (2) The second reason is that frequently homeowners will request a re -inspection of their owner -occupied single family dwellings subsequent to the initial inspection made by the housing inspection staff. These homeowners have generally indicated that they believe these inspections are a service which is being provided to them and that they desire to receive a certificate of compliance even though they do not have to have one for these owner -occupied single family units. I believe this also is an indication of the beneficial side of the housing inspection program, Le,, there is perhaps a greater acceptance of the positive aspects of this program than was earlier envisioned.

After this number of acres is hooked onto the lire north of Shamrock Drive, all other, acreage must somehow tie into the major trunk line running along Ralston Creek south of Arbor Drive. 5. Question: All of the numbers mentioned so far seem very exact. IS there any room for question on these numbers? Answer: Yes. Many assumptions have been made in formulating these numbers and many judgment factors have been used. 6. Question: In making assumptions and judgment factors, did you at to come up with a maximum number of acres that could be developed or did you try to insure that the sanitary sewer lines would not become overloaded. Answer: We tried to insure that the sanitary sewer lines Mould not become overloaded. 7. Question: What are some of the assumption and judgment factors you Answer: For land zoned RM we assumed the following cgnditions: 43.5 units per aore 1.99 persons per unit 287 gallons per person per day For RIB, the following assumptions were made: 20 persons per acre 350 gallons per person per day 8. Question: Would all other planners and engineers agree with these nu Answer: No. The figure of 43.5 units per acre for R3A zoning is on high side. Also, the 287 gallons per person per day for multi -family housing includes a factor of 100 gallons per person per,day for leaka; into the sewer system from rain water, ground water, etc. MaoV engin feel this figure of 100 gallons per personper day is h7;gh for multi- family, while others feel it is low. In the assumptions for RIB zoning, we have used a figure of 20 persons per acre.

Plastino RE: Water Assessment Fees For the last several years, the City has charged property owners a front foot assessment fee for tapping onto water mains which were installed at City cost. The City Attorney has determined that this procedure is very likely " a violation of Chapter 384 of the State Code of Iowa, which requires Public Hearings and other legal steps prior, to assessing a property owner for public improvement,. In spite of the State Law, City Ordinance 75-2773, Section 23 provides that when water mains are ex- tended, the property owners benefited as determined by the .Director of Public Works, shall be charged a uniform fee. In order to.conform with State Law, this section should be repealed. There are also numerous additional resolutions dating back several years which state that the City can levy an "after -the -fact' ;) assessment without going through the necessary legal procedures. These resolutions and other legaldocuments should also be repealed. There will be a decrease in revenue to the City because the, City presently realizes $4,000 to $8,000 per year on these unofficial assessment fees. I� It would be appropriate for Council to discuss this issue and if consensus agrees with the City Attorney', an item will be put on the agenda with the appropriate repealed sections. RIP:bz cc: John Hayek Tony Kushnir Cleo KroA C10�' City of Iowa, City MEMORANDUM DATE: October 6, 1976 TO: Neal Berlin, City Managertc`^II FROM: Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works��1� RE: Court Street Residents I have had a discussion with Joe Patrick, who is the leader of the Court Street group seeking traffic alterations to Court Street between Muscatine and Summit. Mr. Patrick has done a questionaire survey of the neighborhood and they have settled on two options they will ask council for: 1. Close street at Grant and Court, 2. Prohibit right turn on red at Burlington and Summit for east bound traffic. Prohibit trucks. Put in a pedestrian crossing someplace midway between Muscatine and Summit. Alter the timing at Court and Muscatine so that a very short time for green is available to Court Street. Install stop signs at mid -block on Court Street between Summit and Muscatine. Mr. Patrick tentatively suggested setting up another meeting; how- ever, I indicated that -t might not be too fruitful since Public Works would not be able to support any of the proposed ideas, ,with the possible exception of the truck prohibition. I told Mr. Patrick! it might be best since we had reached an impasse on this, to submit ;. it to the City Council. I suggested that he contact Ma'ror Neuhauser' directly to see if she wished to handle this in an informal meeting prior to a formal meeting. Mr. Patrick and I discussed briefly the ramifications of option one, and the fact that residents of Burlington Street would be very unhappy. I said that most of the items in: option two had been discussed at the previous meeting and Public Works had given reasons why they were not feasible. I referred to a copy of the memo I had sent to City Council, and he indicated he had not gotten such a memo. I told him I would send him a copy of the memo I had sent to council regarding our neighborhood meeting some months ago. cc: Jim Brachtel Court Street File CITY OF IOWA CITY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM DATE: TO: Neal Berlin City Council FROM: Richard J. Plastino lk RE: Meeting with Residents of East Court Street between Summit and Muscatine June 11 The meeting was held June 9, 1976in the Longfellow School Library to discuss the problems associated with Court Street„,, Jim Brachtel, the City Traffic Engineer, and I attended for the City. At the onset of the meeting I stated that the purpose of the ,q meeting was to transfer information between the City and the,, residents and see if any practical solutions were available. I) The City presented information related to traffic volumes, traffic accidents, traffic speeds, pedestrian considerations and discussion of the traffic island. We pointed out that the traffic count on Court Street was about 2,700 vehicles per day. I•t was stated that the City II Council would have to consider that if Court Street was closed, as the residents requested, that equitably the Counc:q would then have to seriously consider other street closures in residential areas with volumes equal to or greater than, 2,700. Several locations were pointed out where this occurs.,,) Accident statistics and diagrams were presented for 1973, 19714) and 1975. There was no pattern in the section of Court Stree�, between Summit, and Muscatine. It wa,s pointed out; that these were reported accidents and that additional accidents may ;I have occured. Traffic speeds were averaging 30 to 35 mph. This was obviously above the posted speed limit of 25mph The only way to control this speeding would be with heavy radar control. Studies were handed out which proved that p drivers move at a speed which feels appropriate to the driver and speed limit signs have no effect on the travel speed. Th,e.i are simply an enforcement tool. Written documentation was handed out concerning speed bumps. 'The documentation proved q that speed bumps are not effective in speed control. Another study which investigated using stop sign& for speed control proved that stop signs are ineffective for this purposiie page 2. MEMO: Mtg. w ;idents- E. Couict St. This particular report showed that average speeds were lower without stop signs than with stop signs. A rather dated pedestrian study was presented. Generally, the volumes are low enough on the street that, pedestrian crossing is no problem except for the exceptional individual, such as the handicapped or very elderly. I A memo was handed out concerning the island in Court Street. It was stated that Public Works had initially had not 'commentedll strongly on the island; however, the disadvantages became apparent after some thought and Public Works had encouraged j Council not to consider the island. 1 A general discussion then ensued. Options that were brought up by the residents included: closing the street, returning parking to both sides of the street, blocking off one half of the street at either the east end or the west end., asking for massive police enforcement, the island, burn the asphalt off the street and return it to a brick street, remove truck traffic, put up sign disallowing right -turn -at -red on Bur- lington and Summit, flashing yellow lights at the crosswalk, e d Grant. and stop signs at Oakland, Clark an- � We tried to give our reaction to these various alternatives. The neighbors wanted to know how Public Works felt about each of these options and what recommnedations we would give to Council. In general, I stated that the least objectionable of these suggestions that would work was the option of putting parking back on the street. At the end of the meeting the conclusion was that the resident!! would meet among themselves and decide which option would be their choice. They will then approach the City Council with a formal request for action. At that time, Public Works would investigate all the pros and cons of that option and present a report to Council.

Burlington Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear 1tr. ,Irphy: 0 At the September 14 Council meeting you noised questions concerning the Jefferson Street bikeway and the traffic signals on Burlinytoa Street« Placing the bikeway on the north side of; .Jefferson Street and t1a part ng on the south side was deemed to be appropriate as motorists aro prepared to park on the right side. Also, the question of whether the bikewa)r &%ould be on the north or the south side of the street when it reaches Clapp Street is troublesome because bicycles will have to cross the street depending on whether their destination is Rochester or Glendale Street. Now the bikew,.�ay stripinp, ends at Governor Street. The bikeway striping should continue one more block to the east to a point where the street narrows to allow a smooth transition. This improvement will be made next spring. The glare of the autumn sun does make visibility difficult at tires, Tf..» traffic signals on masterarms along; Burlington Street do have back: plates which are flat black for maxinun contrast for traffic indications. There are no practical means available to eliminate all washouts ceased by the sun. I hope this information answers your questions.

College Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Reverend Holzhammer: Mayor Neuhauser referred your letter to me for response. I am happy to receive your comments in regard to parking on privately owned or controlled spaces. Certainly, those of us in the Police Department and general government share your concerns. However, when an opinion is received by us from a competent legal authority indicating an ordinance of the City violates the scope of authority granted the municipal, ity by the State Code, any administrator would be remiss if he was to order the enforcement of a law that is invalid on its face. On October 4, 1976, the issue raised by you was addressed' by the City Council. The first reading of an ordinance specifically relating to the ticketing and removal of autos parked on privately owned or operated lots was given by the Council. In my judgement the proposed ordinance when adopted; will afford adequate protection to owners/operators of private,, parking lots against those motor vehicle operators who illegally park their autos upon private lots. A copy of the proposed ordinance is included for your perusal. Sinp.erely, HARVEY . MILLER Police Chief 0 0 K CIVIC C4NWISIE&�IqE MINQiDN SL , 1f7WA CITY. ICMIA 52240 d �ry!

This policy will aid in the development of a land use plan and zoning ordinance, and will be of use in the future as a guide to land use decision making, Land uses are characterized by two main attributes, function and intensity. The function of land uses may be categorized into a resi- dential, commercial, industrial, public, institutional, natural or agricultural grouping'based upon the principal activity which tallies Place on the property, The intensity of land uses describes the extent to which the principal function is pursued. Both of these character- tn istics are essential elements in developing a plan which meets he needs mentally sound land use pattern. of the residents OF Iowa City with an eFficieiat, equitable and the en - Within the Iowa City -area -there are certain factors which either kavor or limit development. 'Existingintense land uses such as downtown, the University of Iowa, innnufactuting atbas'; and major` shopping areas conhe centrate activity and have encouraged the development of a quality infra- structure (streets, sewers utilities, etc.) to support this high level • of activity. As this infrastructure extends across the Cit)' it establishes an opportunity for other areas of somewhat lesser intensity use estabestab to be accommodated in an efficient and equitable manner. Natural features such as floodplains, steep slopes and natural areas present limitations to development and discourage intense development. The accommodation of our City's development to the natural environment will result in develop- ment patterns in harmony with nature and with increasing environmental quality. The map on the reverse side establishes -in graphic form a land use intensity Policy- It distinguishes five categories of intensity: 1) high intensity urban uses, 2) medium intensity urban uses, 3) low intensity urban uses, 4) very low intensity urban uses; and 5) natural areas and agricultural uses. These categories are in detail•in the following paragraphs. . HIGH INTENSITY URBAN USES. High intensity urban uses are areas of :intense, activity which may be of a cyclical nature. Downtown, the University of Iowa's main campus and hospitals, major shopping areas, and manufacturing areas are all included in this designation. These areas are characterized by a very high level of accessability, all utility systems and for the most part a central location in the community. MEDIUM INTENSITY URBAN USES. Medium intensity urban uses are areas of moderate activity levels. Apartments, community commercial areas, office development, mobile home developments and warehouses are representative of uses in this classification. These areas are characterized by high levels of access to arterial streets, all utility systems, residential density in excess of 50 dwelling units per hectare (20 DU/A), and a random dispersion through the community. 0 -2- 0 LOW INTENSITY URBAN USES. Low intensity urban uses are areasof light levels of activity which may have areas of moderate activity located within them. Schools, duplexes, townhouses, single family houses, churches, and neighborhood shopping areas are characteristic of uses in this grouping. These areasare characterized by moderate to high levels of access to arterial streets, all utility systems, residential densities between 10 dwelling units per hectare (4 DU/A), and ,25 dwelling units per hectare (10 DU/A) and predominate c area. overage of the u;banized VERY LOW INTENSITY URBAN USES. Very low intensity urban uses are areas of very low activity and areas of no urban activity dispersed throughout, Very low density residential development, wood lots, old fields, and small farms are characteristic of this intensity of use., These areas are characterized by moderate to low to moderate levels of acgess,tq arterial streets, electric and telephone utilities, residential densities below 1 dwelling unit per hectare (1 DU/2.S acres). and peripheral locations. NATURAL AREAS AND AGRICULTURAL USES. Natural areas and agricultural uses are areas of no urban activity. Wooded area, floodplains, farms and Rld fields are characteristic of this designation. These areas are characterized by low levels of access to urban arterials, electric and telephone utilities, residential residential densities below 1 dwelling unit; per 10 hectares (l DUf25A), and locations on the edge of the urbanized area., • 1FW ;■ • 8.08.00 ZONES DU/A FAR NAME .01 AG - .1 .04 General Agriculture • .02 AR - .1 .04 Agricultural Residential .03 RS - 1 .4 Rural Residential .04 RS - 5 2 Large Lot Single Family .05 RS - 10 4 Medium Lot Single Family .06 RS - 20 8 Small Lot Single Family .07 RS - 30 12 Garden Home .08 RS - 40 16 Townhouse .09 RM - 30 12 Low Density Multi -family .10 RM - 40 16 Medium Low Density Multi -family .11 RM - 50 20 Medium Density Multi -family i .12 RM - 80 32 Medium High Density Multi -family .13 RM - 100 40 High Density Multi -family j .14 RM - 150 60 Very High Density Multifamily .15 RO - 20 8 1 Residential Office Very Low Density ,16 RO - 40 16 2 Residential Office Medium Low Density .17 RO - 80 32 4 Residential Office Medium High Density .18 RO - 150 60 6 Residential Office Very High Density • .19 CO - .5 4 .5 Limited Office Commercial .20 CO - 1 8 1 Office Commercial I .21 CN - .5 4 .5 Limited Neighborhood Commercial, .22 CN - 1 8 1 Neighborhood Commercial .23 CC - 1 8 1 Limited Community Commercial •24 CC - 2 2 Community Commercial .25 CR - 2 16 2 Regional Commercial .26 CD - 2 2 Downtown Commercial Service .27 CD - 4 32 4 Downtown Commercial Core .28 CH - .5 .5 Limited Highway Commercial .29 CH - 1 1 Highway Commercial .30 CIV - 1 1 Warehouse Commercial .31 IL - 1 1 Light Industry .32 IH - 2 2 Heavy Industry .33 IE - .5 .5 Extractive Industry .34 IP - .5 .5 Industrial Park •.36 .35 PP - 1 1 Public PI - 2 2 Institutional .37 PC - 0 0 Conservation/Buffer .38 UI - 1 1 University of Iowa ;■ M TO: Rick Geshwiler, Senior- planner FROM: Angela Ryan, Asst. City Attorney RE: Development Rights Transfers FACTS, [)ATC: October 1, 1976 One of the techniques considered for the }liver Corridor is the use of development right transfers. This is the �neihcd of land '! control by which the City would prepare.couprehensive:plans that would designate areas to be developed, as residential 4d commercial and areas to be kept as open spaM or rural agricultuiral fringe. The City would next determine the number of "develPFak-at rights" necessary for desired comtercial or residential construct%on{ basing the calculation on the number of developient rights per unit of ceatrercial or residential construction and the total irea allotted for the particular- uses. The plwuung body could thin calculate the maxitmmi nu(rber•of comiercial and residential deveiTOht rights avail;-� able within. the, planning area. A portion. o£ both .types of developaneni rights would be assigned to every landowner in the planning area, e those in restricted districts. Thus, at the outset, everyone in theei planning area has development rights: the landowner in the restrictec[ zone has developtent rights but cannot use them; the landowner in the l development zone has developrent rights but not enough to permit fun' developtmnt, The plan then i onteR:)latr:s the buying and selling of 11 development rights, either on the open market or throuth a mechanism such as a cOmtodities exchange, stock Market, or develOparent rights bank' The landowner in a development zone can develop his land fully„ but must pay sonething for the right; the landowner in a restu�icted zone cannot develop but can Sell right and obtain nsatigj-, Thus, the ingaact of regulation -is suff3:ciently fess than to bring it within the limits of the pol:ice'pow-erand the public aaluires permanent open space at no public costs' QUESTIONS PRESENTED I- Has the City authority to enact a developmental rights transfer plan? 2• What legal challenges may be anticipated? CONCLUSIONS 1• In Iowa, state enabling legislation would probably be necessary before a municipality could enact such an orcU.nanoe. I -2- q' I' L 2, Landowners may allege that DWs' violate state zoning! proVi.- sions, that it is an unauthorized tax, a violation of equal protection and a taking. Since there have been no appellate cases, it is diffi- cult to predict whether it would be upheld. i, DISCUSSION In 1974, four states had introduced bills which would authorize development right transfers (DRT) and none had yet been enacted. Some cities have used DRTs without state enabling legislation and based them j authority upon a state policy to preserve open spaces and historic are Authors who believe that no further enabling legislation is necessary ' rely heavily on a municipal ordinance presumption of validity - in'ne3 opinion, too heavily, Specific enabling legislation would show that ;i 's 1 there is statutory authority for the local ordinance, that the Ordinan(� i is a police power rather than a.taxing ,measure, and that the ordinance! comports with the requircarents of the police power doctrine. An express statutory declaration that i?RT is a police power technique will be helpful although not conclusive. Under police power doctrine, the burdened class must be sbcxvm to be the class whose actions have created the evil that the legislation is intended to remedy and revenues raised fe n the poI> Lxro�r imposil tion must be devoted exclusively to public objectives that motivated their adoption. The nexus between development and environmental harm should meet the first requirement especially if its existence appears as an express legislative finding in the enabling acts ,preface. Under the present state enabling legislation, it Ray be alleged '1 that cities do not have authority tc ercploy zoni.ug to achieve the brow environmental goals that transfer programs address. The program's dua bulls system may violate the provision that "all zoning regulat-ions Sha' ," be uniform for each class and kind of building throughout, each distrid,.-j This objection could be overcorre by mxiifying applicable land, use legislation. Owners in transfer districts may :insist that a city may fi_x densI only on the basis of substantive planning criteria - those relating tot adequate 'Light, air, pedestrian access, and similar factors.

As a part of our examination, we reviewed and tested the Cit'e`s system of internal accounting control to the extent we considered,necessary to 'tp evaluate the system as required by generally accepted auditing standards•., Under,l these standards the purpose of such evaluation is to establish a basis for rellagc�e thereon in determining the nature, timing, and extent of other auditing procedurog that are necessary for expressing an opinion on the City's financial statements ifilich do not include any assets other than cash and investments or any Siabilities. I The objective of internal accounting control is to provide reasonable,lt>j�tt not absolute, assurance as to the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauth.'ori use or disposition, and the reliability of financial records for preparing finan4l statements and maintaining accountability for cash and securities„ _The concepti q;.1 reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a system of internal accounting ibn. trol should not exceed the benefits derived and also recognizes that the evaluati!b.F, of these factors necessarily requires estimates and judgments by management. There are inherent limitations that should be recognized, in corsidering;jthe potential effectiveness of any system of internal accounting control. In the perl;i?rte mance of most control procedures, errors can result from misunderstanding of instar✓?c— tions, mistakes of Judgment, carelessness, or other personal factors. Control prI)je— dures :hose effectiveness depends upon segregation of duties can be circumvented ij�r collu� in. Similarly, control procedures can be circumvented intentionally by mar lzge— ment with respect either to the execution and 'recording of transactions or. with re pect to the estimates and Judgments requLred in the preparation of financial statementgi� Further, projection of any evaluation of intenYal accounting control to future perlpds is subject to the risk that the procedures may become inadequate because of change�j in conditions, and that the degree of compliance with the procedures may deteriorate., Our study and evaluation of the City's. system of internal accounting co>j of for the year ended June 30, 1976, which was made for the purpose set forth in the;l rst paragraph above, was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion:on inti;aai accounting control and would not necessarily disclose all weaknesses in the n intIry However, such study and evaluation disclosed the following conditions that we hee .11 to be material weaknesses and the corrective action proposed is mentioned in some 'c.Ire , 1.

Libraries, like many public buildit;gs, music serve fo, a number of decades and can use every possible advantage to insure that the library's lull public service potential is re maintaliaed and I ained, The location o:f the librar, y and its relationghip to the Present and future social, transportation and business patterns x;11 h have a direct effect on the extent which the general conrn,,,. ty will make use of its library resources. Convenience of access will build up the volume of use and this greater volume will decrease the cost of service, per Inter The basic requirement in selecting the best possible site which is cotrl-1on to all the literature on the subject is that a public libraxT should be as accessible as ossib p le to the greatest number of use potential locations can be evaluated in much the same way that a business man.y;ouZd ..i study desirable retail sites. In general sites in P3rb:sa in governmental or cultural centers ' residential areas 3n or on secondary streets should be avoided. For most cities the greatest attractor of o it business people is the central district, While there may be competition from are shopping centers, the basic criteria for location, a e best satis:Eied b business district location: Y a central 1.

Minneapolis is one such example where the library served as a catalyst for many millions Of dollars in private constructionry Y METAOmLOC;Y Planning, zoning, and traffic reports and maps were reviered. I "lay of 19705 the consultants inspectn ted potential sites and reviewed arid updated the information available in discussions With the mayor, city manager, city planners, traffic engineer, b trzrsit director and library staff. A list of potential sites was then assembled and a number eliminated due to their failure to meet minipum -requirements in one or more essontial categories, The remaining sites were then rated on twelve basic criteria and a rtrnh:ing of desirability established, A bibliography giving the basic sources used to determ5.ne`tbe criteria has been attached, REV,"" Or POTE.;TIAL SITES An important new condition which was learned in the I•;ay meetings with city officials FrFrs the fact that court action had stayed the Iowa City Urban Renewal Project R-14 progress and that the City Council was reviewing the entire plan.

The "University 1,! 11" Or super block (Blocks 84 & 83) was eliminated on the basis that this area is essential to the redevelopment pian and the subsequent improvement to the enti_e central business district, 2. The five blocks south of Burlington axe removed from the high volume pedestrian area and Burlington as the principal and growing traffic artery within the city on, the east sate of the river will constitute a barrier both physical and psyghOJOg ,`I to the desi);ed ease of access. 3. Blocks 95 and 92 to the west of the: "University r•;all" area were eliminated since this prOP�—rty is It pert Of the University Part of the project and is removed fro:.: the total central business district retail activity, 4. Blocks 81 and 82 were eliminated on the basis that existing commercial property, current private: development, and the historic value of the COIIeCee Block precluded the acquisition of enough property for a library sate. The renaining sites for final evaluation are located in: Block 65, Block &<J 0 Existing Post Office property, S11 (quarter of existing library Blork. Each of the sites were evaluated on the following rating sheet using twelve criteria. Each criteria was rated on a scale o£'0 -4c Uracaep.able ;- 01 Poor - 1, Fair- 2, Good - 3, Superior- 4. One unacceptable was sufficient cause to be eliminated from further consideration. After i each criteria is an assigned relative weight in parentheses. The total weighted score determined the ranking of the sites. The highest wore Possible was 400. An additional bonus of 40 points (10;; of the highest, ! i Possible weighted score) was given to sites which are owned or in the Process of being acquired by the city. A.

The latter three have a real advantage in the fac; that the property is already owned by the city, could be expanded in size and the library plan could and should be coordinated with the development of the entire block. This would permit some adjustrent to the area used for library purposes. It should come as no surprise that the fqi... sues (d/1, #2, #3, m4) within the redevelopment area scored substantially higher than the two sites outside the area, although in the ^ase of site 3r4, the subtotal score before the additional credit for city ownership is only 25 points higher than the score for the SW Quarter of the library Block #6, The Post Office site, //5, has a substantial number of realliabilitiesfor library use. Its orientation to the present and planned activity in the central business district as compared to the other live sites eliminated this location from further considerrtion. The library Block site #6 and the SE portion of t7loci; 64 (Site s4) are comparable in many ways and are fax superior to, the post Office Property but should not be. considered further unless the other sites in Block 6+ become unavailable. i' The top sites in Blocks 64 and 65 all contribute to as hell as take advantaLe of the existing re developr..ent plan.
