RE:
Information Requested for November 8 Meeting
At your October 18, meeting the taskforce requested additional information and maps. City
staff worked closely with the University of Iowa Field Problems Class to compile the
information and map the data were possible. The following is a listing of the items in this
packet.
1. Data sheet showing the current "poverty" income figures and the
qualifying incomes for the Free\Reduced (F\R) Lunch Program.
2. Map showing the Low-Moderate Income (LMI) areas within Iowa City (by
census tract and block group) according to the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). To qualify as an LMI household,
the income threshold is set at 80% of the median income. A copy of the
HUD median income guidelines has also been included.
3. A map showing tbe current poverty rates in Iowa City. These areas are
identified as "green", "yellow" and "red". The areas in green are below
the City's average poverty rate of 19.5%, the areas in yellow are between
19.6% - 40% and the areas in red are over 40%.
4. A series of 8 '/2" x 11" color maps include the following: the census tract
boundaries and census tract numbers, percent change in the poverty rate
by census tract from 1989 to 1999, Housing Tenure and Housing Price.
5. Police data map. This map shows the four "watch" areas within Iowa City
and the number of IRS incidents that were reportable to the State of
Iowa from January 1, 2004 to October 15, 2004.
6. A data sheet and maps showing the physical inventory of "assisted"
housing (not including owner-occupied units) in Iowa City, the number of
"assisted" housing units per census tract, the percentage of "assisted"
housing units per census tract compared to the number of all occupied
housing units and the percentage of "assisted" housing units per census
tract compared to the number of rental housing units.

7. Data submitted by the ICCSD indicating the number of students by
elementary school, proficiency rates and numbers of F\R lunch students.
Additional data shows the juvenile statistics from 2002 and 2003, a
description of the elementary attendance area boundaries and a history
of non-contiguous boundary changes.
8. A memorandum submitted by the University of Iowa Field Problems class
regarding the trends in F\R lunch students by elementary schools.
The meeting will be held in City Hall, Lobby Conference Room at 5:00 p.m. If you are
unable to attend or have any questions please contact me at 356-5248.

CITY HALL, LOBBY CONFERENCE ROOM
MEMBERS PRESENT: Don Anciaux, Jerry Anthony, Darlene Clausen, Matthew Hayek, Jan Leff, Jan
Peterson, Sally Stutsman, Joan Vandenberg
STAFF PRESENT: Steve Nasby, Steve Rackis
OTHERS PRESENT: Maryann Dennis, Charles Eastham, Alexis Kluklenski, Luke Pelz, Patti
Santangelo
CALL TO ORDER:
Chairperson Hayek called the meeting to order at 5:05 pm.
Approval of the September 20. 2004 Minutes:
Several revisions were noted for the Minutes. The names of Clausen and Leff were transposed though
out as Clausen attended the meeting and Leff was not present. There was also an incorrect attribution of
comments noted on pages 4 and 5.
MOTION: A motion was made by Left, seconded by Anthony, to approve the September 20 minutes as
amended. Motion carried unanimously.
DELIBERATIONS REGARDING RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL
Hayek began the meeting by inviting suggestions on how to proceed with the deliberations and then
reviewed the multi-point process proposed in the August 30 memorandum to the Taskforce. Hayek said
these were as follows: 1) Agree on a definition of "concentration", 2) Decide whether there is a
concentration of assisted housing, 3) If there is a concentration of assisted housing, what are the impacts
and are they positive or negative? and 4) If impact is negative, what are some options for the city to
pursue to address the issue?
Unless there are other suggestions, Hayek recommended the Taskforce follow this procedure. If at any
point the answer to the question first question about concentration is "no," then the proceedings could be
at an end.
Peterson asked if the Taskforce has available a working definition of what is concentration? Hayek replied
that is the first step; to outline a set of standards that the Taskforce thinks is appropriate. There may be
one or several factors that should be considered, and it would be useful for the Taskforce to discuss
different things that should or should not be part of the criteria.
Anthony inquired if the City, who set up the Taskforce, defined concentration? If so, what terminology was
used, concentration of low-income families or affordable housing? Anciaux replied he thought it was a
concentration of government-assisted housing. Hayek agreed, saying that the question was centered on
concentration of assisted housing. "Assisted housing" is defined in the City Council resolution, but
"concentration" is not so it is up to the Taskforce to come with their own definition.
Clausen said that when she was looking at the maps earlier on in the process, assisted housing was
scattered, and there was a discussion of density in certain areas of the community.
Anthony said that we have to decide what "concentration" means, but also what is concentrated. Is it a
concentration of low-income families, affordable housing, assisted housing, publicly assisted housing, or
poverty? These need to be defined. Hayek answered that he would like the Taskforce to brainstorm and
talk about what would be appropriate to consider in relation to this topic.
Hayek said that Peterson had previously noted a distinction between assisted housing and poverty rates.
Peterson agreed, adding that it seemed in various discussions to come back to the issue of poverty rather
Scattered Site Housing Taskforce Minutes
October 18, 2004
Page 2
than housing location. She added that they probably correlate, but don't know for sure, and she had not
seen data about different income levels. Clausen noted that the maps from Heather MacDonald do
include median income level, including affordable housing prices for 50% median income households.
Hayek replied that the information from MacDonald includes all housing, not just assisted housing.
Clausen added that the information looks at where affordable housing is located, and maps indicating
affordable housing could be compared to where concentrations of poverty may be located.
Hayek added, that. with the free/reduced lunch numbers, could we correlate what percentage of assisted
housing households qualify as low or moderate? Vandenberg replied that is a difficult correlation, as
free/reduced lunch numbers are highly confidential. Assisted housing programs would have to disclose
how many children live in their units, which schools they go to, and see if that information could be
obtained. Vandenberg said the F\R lunch addresses cannot be released.
Hayek clarified that he is interested in knowing on a school-by-school basis how many students receive
free/reduced lunches. Vandenberg answered that she can get those numbers, but cannot correlate with
assisted housing. A question was asked if anyone can also provide numbers of children live in poverty in
the schools.
Peterson asked what is the bussing pattern currently in place? She is unsure whether students receiving
free/reduced lunch at a given school live in the neighborhoods. Hayek replied that bussing is fairly limited,
and could be factored in. Leff noted that students are bussed a long distance from Hawkeye Court/Drive
to Horace Mann, but does not think Grant Wood and Mark Twain schools are greatly affected by bussing.
Vandenberg added that the farthest that students are bussed are from Lakeridge Manufactured Housing
Park to Twain. Leff remarked that many Lakeridge students are open enrolling into the Highland School
District. Peterson noted that the choice of schools that students are bussed to is interesting.
Anthony inquired if there is there really a correlation between free/reduced lunch and school
performance? Leff replied that statistically speaking nationwide; students who participate in free/reduced
lunch programs score lower than students who do not participate. Peterson noted that this is not
necessarily a direct correlation. Anthony agreed, adding that low scores could be influenced by other
factors.
Vandenberg replied that there is a correlation, though the suspected cause is the mobility factor more
than anything else. Anthony noted there may be students who live in the Twain district and do not qualify
for free/reduced lunches, who may be driving the scores down in that school. Leff replied that students
who are not in assisted housing and who do not qualify for free/reduced lunch usually drive the scores up.
Anthony would like to see information on the scores in relation to free/reduced lunches. Vandenberg
agreed that information is available. How should it be broken down? Anthony replied by scores on ITBS,
and free/reduced program, within each school. Vandenberg noted some of that information is on page 45
of the packet, where it is stated that 61 % of students at Mark Twain on free/reduced lunch program are
not proficient and no one is saying that every student on the free/reduced program is not proficient.
Hayek requested number of students who are not on free/reduced who are not proficient. Vandenberg
said that information is available. The data is a year old, but is consistent from year to year.
Peterson said the information they have show that there is a large range in students on free/reduced
lunch programs who are not proficient, from 20% to 61%. What is the cause or difference? Vandenberg
answered that it would be helpful to know the "n" value, or the overall number of students. Peterson
added that she is curious what other factors in the environment affect whether a student is proficient or
not. For example, if on free/reduced lunch program at one school, are you more likely to be proficient than
students at another school? Leff replied that students learn best in a middle-class environment.
Vandenberg added that teachers are better able to accommodate lower level students in a class when
there are fewer students below proficiency.
Stutsman asked why is Lemme so high? Vandenberg replied that there are a lot of Latino students in that
school who have ESL barriers. Anciaux remarked that only 19% of students are not proficient, so the first
number is important since there are not very many there who are not proficient. Vandenberg added that it
Scattered Site Housing Taskforce Minutes
October 18, 2004
Page 3
is the percent of free/reduced lunches that is so high. Peterson noted that the number of students is on
page 44 of the packet.
Hayek said that at this point, the discussion is centered on schools, and this is data currently available
that should be incorporated in the analysis. Vandenberg added that it is a concentration of poverty that is
of concern to schools. It would be good to have a public policy that guides the City away from increasing
poverty in some areas. In the classroom, it doesn't matter how the students got into poverty, just the
effects, and she believes that the concentration of poverty is the issue. Anthony agreed, noting that
housing is not a central issue.
Peterson noted that assisted housing is not the only area where there is poverty. If the Taskforce is only
looking at assisted housing, some areas of poverty are not considered, such as trailer courts. The existing
map does not indicate all the information that correlates with what the Taskforce is trying to find out.
Vandenberg added that Hills school has the highest freelreduced lunch number, due to Regency trailer
court. However, she also noted that the map indicates factors that the City has control over, publicly
controlled programs versus privately owned property.
Hayek said that the Taskforce should consider connections between assisted housing and poverty, since
in by definition or requirement, assisted housing falls into that category. Due to the different programs
there is a spectrum of incomes, however all have to be low-moderate. Hayek noted that they should also
look at connection between assisted housing and income levels in the area, if there is one.
Anthony said that only a small percentage of assisted housing is publicly controlled. A lot of units are
controlled by other organizations, so what the City can control is even smaller than first impression.
Hayek noted that might be something to consider for the solution part of the discussion.
Vandenberg said that within free/reduced lunch program also has a big spectrum. Homeless families
have even more barriers than others that are receiving housing assistance. Even within poverty there are
different gradations of need.
Stutsman asked how many families on free/reduced programs are student families? This group may have
greater resources than others. Vandenberg concurred, remarking that students are in temporary poverty
versus households in generational poverty. The group that needs the most consideration during planning
are the ones with the higher needs, which the map might help identify.
Stutsman asked if they should start defining different groups?
Leff said that it would be helpful to note the locations of resources as well, such as family resource
centers and the focus should not be solely on schools.
Anciaux said that he would like additional census tract information for Iowa City, including the number of
subsidized housing units and the poverty level in each tract, and whether the situation has been
aggravated by putting more subsidized housing in those tracts. Census tracts have roughly the same
population levels, and that can be correlated to the schools the students are attending. If subsidized
housing is being put into a tract with a high poverty level, it's going to the wrong place. Hayek replied that
is an inference or conclusion they could make. Hayek said that information on income level based on
census tract could be gathered.
Anciaux asked if they could get a map of the census tracts with the number of assisted housing units and
the level of poverty in each tract? Nasby responded that income level is not a problem, but not sure that
the poverty level by tract\block group is available. Anthony replied that the data on poverty level is
available by tract, though may not be available by block group. Anthony added that the definition of
pocket of poverty or concentrated poverty is when over 40% of the population are below poverty level in a
census tract.
Hayek said that some of the census tracts in Iowa City are large. Anciaux replied he thought that
comparisons could be made using the tracts, whether different areas have problems with poverty.
Anthony agreed that census tracts are somewhat comparable in population.

Rackis said they could also get data on the number of owner-occupied units versus rental units in the
census data. Peterson agreed that she would like to have information on the types of units. The different
terms can be confusing when discussing subsidized or assisted housing. People with greater needs, such
as homeless, should have greater consideration than those who are progressing towards self-sufficiency.
Hayek said one map does provide some of that information, such as the transitional shelters.
Peterson asked if the map included Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship or Habitat for Humanity
housing? Nasby replied that the map does not include owner-occupied housing only rentals.
Anciaux asked how many census tracts are in Iowa City? Nasby replied that there appear to be 17.
Anciaux asked how many elementary schools in the City? Vandenberg replied there are 11 .
Anthony asked if the boundaries of the schools follow census tracts? Vandenberg replied no.
Peterson asked if this information is dealing only with Iowa City, not including Hills or North Liberty?
Vandenberg replied yes.
Hayek said the Taskfoce could recommend a larger district-wide discussion in the solutions section.
Stutsman agreed that idea could merit additional discussion.
Anciaux asked if the assisted housing units in the census tracts could be broken up between public and
private owners, such as the Iowa City Fellowship?
Nasby asked if he meant broken up by specific provider or type? Anciaux would like it broken down by
provider, and include Burns and Burns if possible.
Hayek said that on the map, the green and purple bubbles are Section 8. Anciaux replied that he would
like to have a defined area and see how things are distributed, and the census tracts already have a lot of
data available for use.
Hayek asked if he would like to know the type of unit per block? Anciaux would like the data by tract as
the 17 tracts have the same population. Rackis noted that the numbers in some areas may be skewed
because of transitional housing and a voucher are used in the same unit, such as with HACAP and
MECCA.
Vandenberg asked if there is there an occasion when MECCA or HACAP would have units without
Section 8 vouchers? Rackis replied this is possible, but not likely. When HACAP purchased Broadway,
part of the arrangement was an agreement to use Section 8 vouchers. The City Council also passed a
resolution that referrals from MECCA can have special admission into the transitional housing units. He
added that they never have 100% occupied vouchers, but it is unknown whether the units are 100%
occupied.
Hayek said that MECCA, for example, are the vouchers distributed through HUD or through the City?
Rackis answered they are distributed through the Iowa City Housing Authority (ICHA). Hayek asked if
there is a set number of vouchers that go to MECCA? Rackis replied 12 units. Hayek asked if the
vouchers are assigned to a place, or to a person? Rackis responded that the vouchers to MECCA
function similarly to a project-based voucher program, but is more hybrid with special admission to the
program. If a family leaves the transitional housing, they will take the voucher with them, so while there
may be 11 vouchers, there are still 12 units. Rackis noted that it is unknown whether the extra unit is
vacant or is occupied by someone not in the program. Hayek said generally, those 12 vouchers are
maintained for those 12 units? Rackis replied that yes, families get a different voucher. HACAP and
MECCA programs are considered special admissions to the Section Eight, by agreement with the City
Council. The other special admission program is the Family Unification vouchers from DHS. Nasby noted
that these could be sorted out by address if needed.
Hayek said that Section 8 units are not the only ones to consider, but also units assisted with CDBG
funds? Nasby replied that some may be using Section 8, and some may not. The census data is a
Scattered Site Housing Taskforce Minutes
October 18, 2004
Page 5
snapshot that only reflects data at that particular time. Rackis added that some of the elderly complexes
will give a double count due to those being a tax credit building plus the use of vouchers.
Hayek added that in some cases, even if Section 8 vouchers are not in use, the units might still be renting
at low- to moderate-income level. Nasby agreed, noting that the programs would have an income cap,
and it would just require eliminating the vouchers at that address from the data. Eastham added that the
Housing Fellowship does rent to some families with lower income whose children do not qualify for
free/reduced lunch program. The number is in the 10-15% range of their total number of units.
Vandenberg asked if that is that because the families are at the 80% rather than 50% income? Eastham
confirmed these families have higher incomes.
Anthony asked what are the income requirements for the free/reduced lunch program? Vandenberg
replied that to qualify for free is 30%, and reduced is 50% of median income. Anthony said that in
subsidized housing, most families earn above 50% median income, but many families may not qualify for
the free/reduced lunch program if living in tax credit housing.
Hayek said it seems like the Taskforce is looking for additional layers of information. Vandenberg agreed
that there are degrees of need and impact. The impact is different if there is a concentration of families at
80% median income, versus a concentration of families at 30%. Hayek said he thinks the Taskforce is
missing some data also about transitional housing. Vandenberg noted that the census would provide
some of this data
Anciaux said that the census tract information might give them an insight into whether assisted housing is
being concentrated in poor areas of the City. If the census data indicates the area is already at poverty
level, then perhaps additional assisted housing should not be put there. Hayek noted that the Taskforce
needs the additional information in order to decide whether concentration has positive or negative
impacts. Leff added that she would like to defer definition of concentration until additional data is
obtained.
Anthony said the Taskforce would probably need additional information on poverty levels. Stutsman
agreed, noting that there are many different income levels of poverty. She questioned if the number the
Taskforce uses should be 50%, 30%, or something else?
Dennis asked if the information used by the Taskforce includes elderly poor with no children and people
with disabilities? Hayek replied that some of that data is already distinguished; though not the ones
without school-age children.
Stutsman said the focus has been the schools thus far, but should the Taskforce broaden its focus to
include the elderly and persons with disabilities? Hayek replied that the numbers need to be researched.
Rackis noted that subsets of data may be most useful, detailing different age levels. Vandenberg added
that the data on elderly is relevant, and pointed out that neighborhoods don't fight creation of housing for
the elderly. General agreement expressed by the Taskforce members to note housing for elderly and
disabled persons in deliberations.
Hayek asked if the information about property values arrived from the Homebuilders Association? Nasby
replied that they are still waiting for board approval of the report, but it should be submitted by November
22.
Peterson noted that there was some information on property values from Heather MacDonald. Hayek
answered that they currently only have general information from the homebuilders, which reported that
Coralville and North Liberty lots are more expensive than Iowa City. Leff added that Habitat for Humanity
reported there were no lots available in Iowa City for less than $40K.
Hayek said they also have information in packets on income and rent from the City on graphs. Nasby
explained that the graphs all show the same information, but at different income levels. The wide lines are
income, and the narrow lines are rent costs. HUD says families can spend 30% of income on housing, so
the wide green line represents a 1.5 person household. This number was chosen because a one-
bedroom unit can house one- or two-person families. In 1998, a 1.5 person family could afford $250 per
month on housing.
Scattered Site Housing Taskforce Minutes
October 18, 2004
Page 6
Hayek noted that the number is actually 30% of 30%, meaning that the family is at 30% median income,
and spending 30% of its income. The other graph indicates 30% of 50%. Nasby continued by explaining
that according to the first graph, in 2003 a 1.5 person household could afford $400 per month, and the
thin green line indicates the cost of a one-bedroom unit from 1998-2003.
In the case of a 1.5 person household, the thick and thin green lines are close together, indicating a small
gap between income and housing. The red line is for a 6-person household in a four-bedroom unit, which
has a much larger gap between income and housing. The charts detail trends in income and housing
costs, and all the charts indicate some sort of affordability gap. Families earning 30% median income will
not be able to afford a unit in Iowa City without assistance.
Hayek added that the gap for a 1.5 person family is small, but increases as the family size increases. The
cost for a six-person family is double what that family can afford. But the chart for 50% median income
changes dramatically. Again, the thin lines show the rental unit costs, and the thick lines show the income
levels. Nasby remarked that the graph indicates all families can afford housing at the appropriate sizes on
50% income.
Dennis asked if the figures for rent cost only? Nasby replied that the study does not discriminate
completely as some units include utilities and some do not. Dennis noted that HUD includes utilities in the
30% figure allowed for housing, so though a family may be able to pay rent, they may still be burdened by
the added expense of utilities.
Rackis said that the ICHA has to calculate the maximum gross rent, which includes the contract rent plus
utilities, and the family cannot pay 30% over the maximum gross rent because of HUD-required utility
reimbursements. This may limit some families seeking units under Section 8, because of the need to
adjust utility costs into the rent and then have the landlord pay the utilities instead of the tenant.
Vandenberg said that on the 50% chart, the red line indicates the unit rents for $1200 and it is assumed
the family can afford $2000? Nasby replied theoretically yes, for a six-person household at 50% median
income.
Anthony noted that there is not much difference in the two charts except for the lines. All the data points
are the same, so are they both correct? Nasby agreed that the median family income line might not be
correct on both. Hayek asked if the median income should almost be doubled? Anthony agreed the
incomes should be doubled, but should the rental costs be the same? Nasby replied that the rental costs
should be the same. Anthony said that according to the literature from MacDonald, Johnson County is the
most cost-burdened county in the state in terms of housing. As such, he would like to have clarification
about the income and rental levels on the chart.
Nasby noted that it is the experience of the ICHA that families that reach 50% income also reach
maximum rents? Rackis replied that families at this level or better reach payment standards, where they
are paying the full contract rent and the HA is no longer assisting. There is a safety buffer in place, so
families remain in the program for 6 months after reaching this point. This only includes the payment
standards of the ICHA. There are units that exceed their payment standards, which families would not be
able to afford at 50%.
Peterson said that from previous discussions, a family at 50% of median income may just be getting out
of assisted housing, but according to the chart, families at this level can easily afford rent in the city?
Nasby confirmed that the chart is incorrect and will have to be redone. Hayek noted that the chart for 30%
median income is correct, and requested that a revised chart be included in the packet for the next
meeting, including a note on it that it is the revised chart.
Peterson asked if the Taskforce is looking at the question of whether Iowa City has adequate affordable
housing, or is that outside the purview of the discussion? Hayek replied that is up to the Taskforce to
decide. Stutsman remarked that the City Council might like to hear the Taskforce's opinion, and that the
question would likely evolve into that consideration sooner or later.
Peterson remarked that it may not have originally part of the Taskforce's charge, but it would be difficult to
evaluate all the data and not form some idea regarding the question. Stutsman confirmed that while it was
Scattered Site Housing Taskforce Minutes
October 18, 2004
Page 7
not specifically stated, there appears to be an interest in knowing the answer to the question. Hayek
added that a recommendation on whether more or less assisted housing is needed could be included in
step four of the deliberations.
Stutsman asked if recommendations could be made regarding inclusionary zoning or other public
policies? Hayek replied that depending on what the Taskforce decides in the other parts of the
deliberation, a recommendation to evaluate certain policies might be made. The Taskforce will not give
specific suggestions on what the policies should be, but rather a recommendation to have them
evaluated.
Stutsman said why would the policy be added without a statement whether there is enough assisted
housing or not? Peterson answered that it could be used as general guideline for building in the future,
rather than a specific policy. Whether or not more public housing is needed in Iowa City is a challenging
question, because of different interpretations of the data.
Hayek said that the conversation is appropriate for the Taskforce at a later meeting, but asked them to
return to the definition of concentration, what other data and information does the Taskforce need or
want?
Peterson said that she would like to know generally accepted definitions of concentration. The articles
tended to indicate that greater than 30% is high. Anthony added that in the census data, high poverty is
30% or above, while concentrated poverty is greater than 40%. Therefore, a "concentration" is higher
than "high."
Vandenberg asked if according to the census tract data, is there high or concentrated poverty in Iowa
City? Nasby and Anthony replied that they did not think either level is recorded in any Iowa City tracts.
Anthony remarked that according to federal standards, Iowa City does not have any appreciable levels of
poverty, which is why the Taskforce needs to come up with its own standards.
Vandenberg asked if the data could be evaluated in smaller areas? Nasby replied he is unsure whether
the data on poverty is available for individual block groups, but he can check. Anciaux noted that it would
be useful to look at the tract data to see if there are any trends in a particular area already, and whether
assisted housing needs to be spread around in the future.
Hayek noted that in order to make that recommendation, the connection needs to first be made between
the concentrations and their impact. Peterson noted that trends also should to be evaluated. Heather
MacDonald spoke of trends in her presentation, and evaluating where things will be in 20 years if things
proceed unchanged. Anciaux added that it will be much more difficult to change in 20 years than it would
be now.
Peterson asked where is the highest concentration of poverty in Iowa City? Nasby reported he would
have to look up the answer. Hayek: also need to factor in the student population, since the downtown
tract data is likely impacted by the students.
Nasby said the percentage of low- and moderate-income is available, though not the percentage of
poverty. The following tracts include a population of at least 51 % low- and moderate-income families.
Families under 80% median income are included in this group.
Tract Percent of Population

Stutsman: are 11, 16, and 21 are students? Nasby replied yes, that is a likely answer but it also includes
some elderly housing projects.
Stutsman said she felt that students are in a different group of low income, mostly in that situation by
choice and for a limited time. Peterson noted however that students do have an impact on available
housing. Stutsman inquired whether they have an impact on services? Clausen replied if they have
children, possibly. Stutsman asked if student families reflect a drain on schools?
Rackis raised another aspect of the data. For example, tract 18 is 57% owner occupied and 43% rental.
He said that tract has been identified as a drain on the schools because of assisted housing, even though
it has a high percent of owner-occupied units. Nasby added a 57% owner-occupied rate is higher than the
City as a whole. Anciaux asked how many block groups are in tract 18? Nasby replied two, and both
groups have the same percentage of low-moderate income persons.
Dennis said that if they are looking at median income, then that means half of the population makes more
and half make less. So when talking about low-moderate, we're talking about 80% of the area median
income. She added that 50% of income is the cutoff point for eligibility for assisted housing, so when
looking at the census tract data, the data is skewed because of those making between 51 % and 80% of
median income.
Anthony said that regarding concerns about the student population, the neighborhood character is still
stable and consistent even if groups of students come and go. To the extent that living conditions affect
school performance, perhaps the consistent low-income character of the student areas do factor in.
Clausen said that perhaps assisted housing should be discouraged in the north side of town, because
those areas may already have a high concentration, which may affect how children learn in the schools.
Hayek noted that he would like to continue to focus on definition of concentration. One factor may be
strong neighborhoods, as suggested by Vandenberg. This is a less tangible and measurable factor.
Hayek asked if we have any juvenile court information? Vandenberg reported that Lloyd Smith was only
able to get it by school, not by address. It does not give very relevant information, because it is
concentrated in the junior high and high schools, rather than geographically by residence. Also, schools
with Behavior Disorder (BD) programs have a higher incidence of students in juvenile court. SD programs
are not at all geographic.
Hayek asked about the status of the crime data? Nasby reported that it is being divided up by watch area,
so the number of calls in each area can be determined and evaluated.
Anciaux asked how many watch areas are in Iowa City? Nasby replied four: one west of the river, one
downtown, one in northeast, and one southeast.
Vandenberg asked if they were based on population? Nasby answered no, the office he had talked with
said it was just an area that was defined according to service needs. Hayek remarked that might be
helpful to know in relation to how services are distributed in Iowa City, where the police are sending their
services may help narrow down the information.
Vandenberg asked if the Taskforce were looking at some trend data with the census tracts? Anthony
replied that the Taskforce should not look at the 2000 data and say that things are increasing, but should
go back to 1990 for an historical perspective. Leff added that the school district has information from
1995-2002.
Anciaux asked if the census data break out poverty level, 30%, 50%, and 80%? Nasby replied that the
information is only recorded at 80% or below, as HUD considers this low-mod income. He noted that LMI
data is available from 1980, 1990, and 2000, but not more specific than 80%.
Hayek said that the Taskforce has generated a good list of ideas for the discussion, and he will try to
distill these ideas and present them to the group at the next meeting. Invited volunteers to assist with
putting together a summary.

Anthony said that they need additional data in order to continue the discussion about the definition of
concentration.
Vandenberg said that with census data, does the information break down low-moderate income
information. Clausen replied only 80% or below is available. Nasby added that the poverty level in each
tract is available, which is defined as 30% median income.
Hayek said staff would try to get as much requested data as possible, and put it into a list to be adopted.
Probably need the data before the next meeting, to allow for review prior to discussion.
Vandenberg asked if the Taskforce is going to try to quantify mobility? Hayek if there is some mobility
information available from the school district and service assessment.
Peterson said regarding list on the board, the Taskforce is not getting information from juvenile court, and
how would we measure neighborhood cohesion?
Stutsman asked if Marcia Klingaman would have data on cohesion and activity of the neighborhoods? Is
activity level Neighborhood Associations a measure of cohesion? Vandenberg inquired if the census
asks how long a person has lived in their neighborhood? Clausen replied yes.
Stutsman wondered how would we define cohesion and stability? Peterson replied that it might not be
feasible to define. Clausen remarked that comparing the numbers between 1990 and 2000 would give an
indication of the stability of the area, whether there has been a major change over that time period. Hayek
asked Clausen if she would be willing to evaluate the cohesion idea and bring a suggestion on the
appropriate way to approach that to the next meeting. Clausen agreed.
Anthony inquired if there is any way to get census tract data for mobility? Peterson replied that gathering
neighborhood data is difficult.
Anciaux asked if census tract 18 includes Grant Wood and Mark Twain? Hayek replied 18 includes Grant
Wood and part of Twain. Anciaux asked if census tract 17 includes other part of Twain and Lucas?
Vandenberg answered Longfellow rather than Lucas.
Clausen notes that she would like an overlay map showing school districts over the census tracts with the
income and housing information.
Hayek inquired if the Taskforce should meet in two weeks on November 1? Stutsman and Clausen said
they cannot attend a November 1 meeting.
Hayek then asked if the next meeting should be November 15 or 8? Anthony inquired how long it will take
to put together additional data. Nasby replied that it will be the most difficult to get Section 8 addresses by
census tract. Rackis added that some data is easily available, but some will be very time-intensive to
gather, particularly owner-occupied versus rental-occupied units by census tract. Hayek agreed that all
data might not be available in time.
Vandenberg: how much will the current map match up with the census tract? Hayek replied that census
data could be overlaid.
Rackis noted that the housing choice vouchers will be significantly different than the current map.
Vandenberg asked if they could get data from a specific time? Rackis reported that the database will not
allow them to gather census tract data from the past, because of turnover.
Hayek asked if the March data as currently displayed on the map useful, or completely out of date?
Rackis answered that it is similar, but not the same because of sales of units and turnover.
Dennis noted that most rentals in Iowa City and Coralville go from August 1 through July 30. So many
people will have moved since March.

In response to a previous question, Nasby said that a tract map can be overlaid on current map, but will
not be able to identify every individual unit.
Anciaux said he is not concerned about maps so much as hard numbers. Interested in having census
tracts overlaid and getting numbers of units in each tract. Rackis agreed, saying that numbers may not be
easy to determine from the map. Hayek noted that the maps are secondary to the hard data. Anciaux
added that census tract data could be very useful because it is comparable regarding population.
Anthony noted to keep in mind that the poverty data in the census is from 2000. Hayek agreed, adding
that it is the data that is available, and the Taskforce will need to keep its date that in mind.
Hayek inquired if anyone volunteer to assist with distilling the brainstorm list from the board? The
Taskforce needs to define concentration based on some points, and data needs to be gathered for other
points. He would like a volunteer to assist with summarizing the information.
Peterson said there appears to be a mix of information on the board, both of items to do with definition,
and items to do with impact. Hayek suggested that the Taskforce members think about where each point
fits, and at the next meeting discuss and come to a consensus.
Vandenberg asked when will the police data be available? Nasby replied that it is relatively easy to run,
but needs to be plotted on the map and it would be available for the next meeting.
Peterson volunteered to assist Hayek with the summary.
Hayek asked the Taskforce when is the next meeting? And if they should meet November 8, 15, or both?
Stutsman sug~ested meeting on the 8th and see how the discussion goes. Peterson may not be able to
meet on the 8 . Hayek agreed that the group will meet on the 8th, and will decide on the 15th during the
meeting.
Peterson said she would like to have info from the brainstorming session on the board written down.
Hayek noted that he is writing it down. Anciaux volunteered to assist with summarizing as well. Hayek will
write first draft and email it to the others for discussion.
Stutsman acknowledged the concern about including elderly and disabled in consideration. Clausen
noted that the Taskforce would like that information, but separated out. Peterson added that group may
figure into the issue of concentration differently than the area of impact, and it would be good to know
how that group fits in.
ADJOURNMENT:
There being no further business to come before the taskforce, Vandenberg moved to adjourn. Anthony
seconded, and the motion passed uncontested. Meeting was adjourned at 6:55 p.m.

Memo
To: Scattered Site Housing Task Force
From: Amanda Cline, Tracy Glaesemann, Alexis Kuklenski, and Luke Pelz
Date: 10 November 2004
We are a group of graduate students at the University of Iowa working on a capstone project. We are
working with Steve Nasby concerning assisted housing in Iowa City. Part of our project is to support the
Task Force in their decision-making process by providing data in a useful manner.
To get up to speed on what you are doing, we read through past Task Force minutes and the material
that has been presented to you. We have also attended two meetings (Sept. 20th and the Oct. 4th public
meeting). We are impressed by the amount and breadth of information that you have considered.
This memo consists of some additional data on the freelreduced lunch program from the iowa
Department of Education.
The impetus for the creation of the Task Force was a letter from the Iowa City Community School District
regarding their concern that a few elementary schools enrolled the bulk of students living in assisted
housing. The worry is that amassing students who live in assisted housing in a small number of schools
puts strain on those specific schools because of the additional support and assistance those students
need to succeed.
The number of students eligible to receive free or reduced lunch is one measure used by the School
District to make the argument that an increase in strain on specific elementary schools is due to
increased students living in assisted housing. The elementary schools in the Iowa City Community
School District increased by 92 students between the 2000-01 and the 2003-04 school years. In that
same time period, the number of students eligible for free/reduced lunch increased by 163 students.
(Iowa Department of Education, Basic Education Data Survey)
However, a closer look at the data is warranted. Graph 1 displays the percentage of students in each of
the 17 elementary schools in the Iowa City Community School District who are eligible for free/reduced
lunch for school years 2000-01 through 2003-04. One interesting point to note is that this percentage at
Wood Elementary actually declined between the 2002-03 and 2003-04 school years.
Another way to analyze this data is to compare the change in free/reduced lunch with the change in
enrollment. Seven of the 17 elementary schools experienced larger increases in the number of students
who receive freelreduced lunch than in total enrollment between 2000-01 and 2003-05 school years,
denoted with an asterisk (*) below. This suggests that increases in, free/reduced lunch are not solely due
to people moving into this community. Five schools experienced a decrease in the percentage of
students eligible for free/reduced lunch between the 2000-01 and 2003-04 school years (Penn, Weber,
Lemme, Lincoln and Wickham).

While the data presented here gives some indication of the change in those receiving free/reduced lunch,
it does not investigate the relationship between free/reduced lunch and students living in assisted
housing. Because student information is confidential, we were not able to match the addresses of
students in the free/reduced lunch program with the location of assisted housing. It is our understanding
that the School District is the only entity that would have this data.
