*Book Festival
The
Iowa City Book Festival runs Thursday, October 2nd through Sunday, October 5th.
This edition of the Book Festival has what I believe is the best lineup yet!
The
Iowa City Book Festival, now in its sixth year, will be organized by the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature.
Iowa City is one of just seven Cities of Literature in the world, and the Iowa
City Book Festival will celebrate books and writing by leveraging the unique
mix of local resources that helped to earn that designation.
Past
participants include Ridley Pearson, Jane Smiley, Curtis Sittenfeld, Anthony
Marra, Donald Ray Pollock, Elizabeth Berg, Robert Goolrick, Jane Hamilton,
Audrey Niffenegger, Gregg Hurwitz, Karen Thompson Walker, Bennett Sims, and
Bonnie Jo Campbell, as well as local and area writers like James Galvin, Marvin
Bell, Mary Swander, Max Allan Collins Sam Kean, Carl Zimmer, and Zach Wahls.
This
year’s headliners include Marilyn Robinson, Jane Smiley, Reyna Grande, Luis
Urrea and many more! For more information, including the full schedule of
events, see: http://www.iowacitybookfestival.org
*Democratic Party Fall BBQ
Save
the date! The Johnson County Democratic Party is holding its annual Fall BBQ on
Sunday, October 5th from 3-7pm at the Johnson County Fairgrounds.
Special
guest speakers include Senator Debbie Stabenow of Michigan and Senator Bernie
Sanders of Vermont. Tickets and more info are available at: http://jcdems.org.
*Courthouse Annex
Johnson County is asking voters to approve a
courthouse annex. Following is a list of frequently asked questions:
Why do we need a Courthouse annex?
The historic Johnson
County Courthouse was constructed in 1901 when the population of the County was
approximately 25,000 residents. The Courthouse is listed on the National
Register of Historic Places and is a historic gem. However, the building is
entirely inadequate to serve the modern court needs of a growing county with a
population of nearly 140,000 residents. The Courthouse Annex project is
proposed to address the critical safety, security and space deficiencies in the
current courthouse.
Offices and chambers for
the County Attorney, Clerk of Court, judges and juries lack sufficient space.
Civil trials are routinely postponed due to lack of available courtrooms. There
is virtually no space for attorneys to meet with clients or conduct
negotiations or mediations. Employees work in cramped quarters and records are
stored in various off-site locations.
Due to age and design
standards of the 113-year-old facility, the present Courthouse presents a
potential threat to the personal safety and security of employees, judges,
jurors, witnesses, victims and other visitors. There is no entrance
system/checkpoint protecting against weapons and no separation of
criminals/suspects from the general public, including victims, witnesses and
jurors.
What features will be included in the Courthouse
annex?
The Courthouse annex
project proposal includes 69,167 square feet of space that will be used for:
• Six new courtrooms
designed with updated technology
• Expanded space for the
Clerk of Court
• Expanded space for court
administration and court-related services
• New jury deliberation
rooms
• Interview rooms for
confidential communication between lawyers and their clients
• New multi-purpose
meeting areas for current and future judicial-related community-based
programming (Drug Court, Family Treatment Court, and other mental health and
substance abuse programs)
• Secure, ADA-compliant
entrance on south end of the Courthouse, as well as access to the new annex
building on the west
Where will the annex be located?
The three-level building
will be located west of the existing Courthouse. Built into a hill, the new
building will be energy-efficient, use land already owned by Johnson County,
and not detract from the historic Courthouse.
Will the Courthouse annex be ADA-compliant?
Yes. The Courthouse annex
will be designed to meet all federal and state Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) requirements for accessibility to those with special needs. As the
numbers of people using the Courthouse continues to increase, the annex will
also accommodate that growth now and into the future. Elevators, restrooms,
courtrooms, jury boxes, witness boxes, entrances and exits will all be
constructed to ADA requirements.
How will a Courthouse annex protect the public?
The annex will include
metal detection equipment at a single secure entrance to detect and prevent
individuals from bringing a dangerous weapon into the facility. Offices for
judges, jury deliberation rooms, and entrances in and out of new courtrooms will
all be secured. Separate, secure hallways and elevators will allow movement of
inmates away from the general public. Although inmates are accompanied by
deputies while in the Courthouse, currently the inmates use the same elevators,
walkways and restrooms as the general public. That means victims, victims’
families and jurors may be forced to be in close proximity to the accused.
Additionally, the annex will include a fire suppression system, and hallways,
stairs and exits will all be designed to meet ADA standards.
Where will employees and visitors park?
In cooperation with the
City of Iowa City, Johnson County plans to close off Harrison Street for
parking. A public city ramp at Court Street will also be available for parking.
Will the historic Courthouse be utilized?
Yes. The historic
Courthouse will continue to be used for offices and courtrooms. The Courthouse
has approximately 25,000 square feet that will be used as follows:
• The secure public
entrance to the Courthouse and annex will be on the lower level of the current
courthouse.
• The County Attorney’s
Office will be moved to the second floor
• Three or four
courtrooms, along with judges’ chambers and jury deliberation rooms, will
continue to be used for civil trials and other court business.
How much will the Courthouse annex cost and how
will it be paid for?
A bond referendum will be
placed on the November 4, 2014, general election ballot. To pass, the proposal
requires a 60% supermajority vote.
The approved bond language
reads:
“Shall the County of
Johnson, State of Iowa, issue its general obligation bonds in an amount not
exceeding the amount of $ 33,400,000 for the purpose of erecting and equipping
a County Courthouse Annex, to solve current safety, security and space needs of
the court operations, in a structure to be located adjacent to, incorporating,
and connected to, the existing historic courthouse?”
It is estimated that a
$33.4 million bond would have an annual tax impact of $17.38 per $100,000 of
assessed value on residential property if the bond is financed for 20 years.
Are there jail cells in the proposed annex?
No. There are no jail
cells in the current or future plans or design of the Johnson County Courthouse
annex. There are two inmate holding cells planned for the first floor of the
facility, for the purpose of securing inmates between their delivery from the
Jail to the Courthouse and prior to their appearance in court. There are also
inmate holding areas outside four of the courtrooms. The language used in the bond
referendum restricts the usage of the bond funds for court purposes.
Will the building incorporate sustainability
features?
Yes. The Board of
Supervisors has set a minimum goal of achieving Silver LEED certification by
addressing sustainability through water efficiency, energy and atmosphere
features, materials and resources used, indoor environmental quality,
innovation, and design process. LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design, is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class
building strategies and practices.

*Iowa Shares
*Joint Meetings
*State Childcare Assistance
*ICCSD Diversity Policy
*Democratic Party Fall BBQ
*Did You Know?
*Iowa Shares
I
recently put in a plug for the United Way campaign. It should be noted that there
are a variety of good causes not a part of the United Way campaign – and Iowa
Shares picks up where the United Way leaves off.
The
mission of Iowa Shares states: “Iowa Shares is a coalition of social change,
environmental and cultural nonprofit organizations throughout the state of
Iowa. We make a direct impact on our communities through research, education,
advocacy and direct service.” Please take a look at their website, http://www.iowashares.org/.
Many
of you sincerely want to help make Johnson County and all of Iowa a better
place. Iowa Shares is helping to do that. Please consider donating today!
*Joint Meetings
I
have written much recently about intergovernmental relations between Iowa City
and Johnson County. If you live, work, or own property in either place, you
should be pissed!
Why?
Because we are missing countless opportunities to provide better governance. We
simply need to hold some joint meetings.
We have opportunities to cut costs and increase services – but
those opportunities are lost if we never meet. The county has met with every
other city in Johnson County, except Coralville, which is scheduled. And you
know what? The meetings are helpful.
I’ve
been talking/writing about this for almost ten years. Ten years! How many
opportunities have been missed during that time?
It
would be really cool if the Gazette and Press Citizen asked City Councilors and
the City Manager about this on the record. It would be really cool if they held
our two groups accountable. The media wants greater transparency, right? Why
don’t they write about the fact that Johnson County has officially requested
joint meetings for AT LEAST five years, yet Iowa City refuses to meet? Isn’t
that newsworthy?
The
public DESERVES joint meetings that tackle the tough issues. But that will
NEVER happen until YOU DEMAND it! I’ve tried. They mumble to my face, and laugh
behind my back. I would think it would be embarrassing by now, but apparently
not. Joint meetings are the right thing to do. I cannot make them happen. It is
up to you.
League
of Women Voters? Chamber of Commerce? ICAD? This should be something about which
you care! Let’s make some noise! Please help me get this done!
*State Childcare Assistance
One thing that Johnson County needs to discuss with Coralville and
North Liberty is related to after school care.
There are several before and after school programs (BASPs) in the
ICCSD. Many of the BASPs are run as parent-led collectives; my kids attended
such a program - Hoover On Campus Care (HOCC). My wife was on the HOCC Board;
they used the school facilities, but were operated completely independently of
the ICCSD. These BASPs are lifesavers for working parents whose schedules
require childcare before and/or after the school day.
City recreation departments operate a few of these BASPs. The Iowa
City Rec Department accepts State Child Care Assistance; programs run by the
Coralville and North Liberty Rec Centers do not.
I believe it is critical that the rec center-based childcare
programs accept State Childcare Assistance.
There are a
few reasons for this:
1.) It creates
inequity. A poor child in Iowa City is likely to be able to access State
Childcare Assistance. The same child in Coralville or North Liberty will not
get the same funding.
2.) It creates
different policies/procedures. There is much to be said for a single set of
rules at each site.
3.) It will
save the County money. Right now, we are supplanting State money with County
money. This cannot continue.
4.) We already
paid for it once. As state taxpayers, we are funding State Childcare
Assistance. We should get back what we have paid in.
I implore Coralville and North Liberty to do the right thing, and
require that all programs accept State Childcare funding.
*ICCSD Diversity Policy
It
appears the ICCSD Board of Directors is backing away from the Diversity Policy.
I think this is unfortunate.
The
policy was never perfect. From creation through implementation, it was not
exactly a smooth process. There was strong opposition from the start, and the
opposition remains strong today.
So,
the Diversity Policy will become irrelevant. Now what?
Some
DP opponents have said it does not matter with whom you go to school. Except
that several studies show this is NOT true.
Some
DP opponents have said we will just put extra resources into our highest FRL
schools. Where will we get these extra resources?
Some
DP opponents have said we will decrease class sizes at our highest FRL schools.
How will we create the extra classroom space? How will we pay for the
additional teachers?
The
DP may go away, but the poor kids do not. The DP wasn’t perfect, but for the
first time in my memory, an ICCSD Board voted to put the FRL kids first. Now
that is history. Where do we go from here?
I
sincerely hope that the ICCSD Board will remain committed to our most
vulnerable children.
*Democratic Party Fall BBQ

In this edition:
*Soul Fest
*United Way
*Calling All Environmentalists!
*Jackson County Shooting
*Iowa Workforce Development
*Democratic Party Fall BBQ
*Did You Know?
*Soul Fest
The
second annual Soul Fest is the weekend of the 19-21 in downtown Iowa City. And
I am pumped!
Last
year’s inaugural event was a huge success, and this year looks to be just as
good. For more info, see: http://www.summerofthearts.org/festival-menu/iowa-soul-festival/schedule.aspx
*United Way
The 2014-15 United Way campaign is underway. I mention it
frequently, and I’ll say it again: I’m a huge supporter of the United Way!
The
United Way of Johnson and Washington Counties has been using a three-word call
to action. It is simple, and I love it!
Give.
Advocate. Volunteer.
Short,
simple, and yet SO poignant! Far too many people do none of these three things.
Others do one, or even two. But it is a three-legged stool. To truly affect
change, we need to do all three.
Give.
Advocate. Volunteer.
*Calling All Environmentalists!
One
of my proudest accomplishments as a Supervisor is the passage of a Sensitive
Areas Ordinance. Under our existing ordinance, whenever streams, wetlands,
slopes, woodlands, prairies, and other environmentally sensitive areas are
identified, they have to be protected. It has worked very well, and we have
protected several areas because of it.
Unfortunately,
the ordinance has a loophole. It only applies to subdivisions of more than
three lots. So we are seeing an inordinate number of applications for 3 lot
subdivisions. When asked, Glen Meisner from MMS Consultants simply stated that
they were doing 3 lot subdivisions because they were cheaper for their clients.
Needless
to say, I’d like to close this loophole. I’d like to see every application go
through the process. (I might consider an exception for two lot farmstead
splits.)
The
problem is, we have voted on this and I lost. Supervisor Rettig joined me in
trying to close the loophole; Supervisors Neuzil, Harney, and Etheredge voted
to keep the loophole in place.
We
just had another three-lot subdivision in a critical piece of habitat off Sugar
Bottom Road. We really need to fix this. And time is of the essence. But I need
your help.
Please
contact the three Supervisors who refuse to amend our Sensitive Areas
Ordinance. Show up at a Board Meeting. Write a letter to the Editor. Let them
know you support a change! This is important!
*Jackson County Shooting
My
prayers go out to everyone affected by the recent shooting at the Jackson
County Board of Supervisors meeting.
From
the early reports, it appears Jackson County Supervisor Larry (Buck) Koos was
unbelievably heroic, stepping in and tackling the shooter.
I
know Buck through our Iowa State Association of Counties (ISAC) meetings. I
cannot say I know him very well, but he has always seemed like a good guy. I
guess that was an understatement!
This
incident hits home. When you serve in elective office, you get used to angry
constituents. There are people out there whose hatred of me runs deep. Very
deep. I can hear the hatred seething in their voices. Would one of them do
something similarly violent? I wish I could definitely tell you no, but I
cannot be sure.
I
know that I am tired of those who stoke the fires – the talking heads like Glen
Beck who warn that government is evil. They tell impressionable listeners that the
jackbooted thugs of government are coming for your property, so stockpile an
arsenal! Get them before they get you!
Most
people ignore this type of talk. But a select few take it to heart. And they
act.
Meanwhile,
county buildings are public buildings. I do not want to see public access
limited in some way. But I can understand why others in elective office might
feel differently.
We
could station a Sheriff’s Deputy at every meeting. But we don’t have enough
patrol deputies as it is. To bring someone on board just to monitor Board
Meetings seems like a very expensive solution to something that may never be a
problem.
I
just don’t have an answer for this. I really don’t.
*Iowa Workforce Development
The
Iowa Workforce Development office recently put out a report on our Region,
which consists of Benton, Iowa, Linn, Johnson, Jones, Cedar, and Washington
counties. (This mirrors the Kirkwood Community College region.)
The
report is good. There are many good things happening in our Region. I find it
particularly interesting to see how Johnson County compared to our neighbors.
Here are a few tidbits:
Johnson County
experienced the biggest population growth at 2.0%.
Johnson County
had the highest net in-migration at 6,433 residents.
Johnson County
had the lowest median age at 29.3.
Johnson County
had the shortest commute time at 17 minutes.
Johnson County
had the lowest unemployment rate at 3.3%.
Johnson County
had the highest % with a Bachelor’s Degree at 52%.
Johnson County
had the most job creation at 5.8%.
Johnson County
had the highest average ACT score at 24.8.
What
does all this mean? I’d say it means Johnson County is a darn good place to
live and work. It is interesting to see how Workforce Development tries to spin
this report. Clearly, having the University of Iowa in our Region is manna from
Heaven. Given that, how can the Regents and the Governor justify the attacks on
the UI?
*Democratic Party Fall BBQ
Save
the date! The Johnson County Democratic Party is holding its annual Fall BBQ on
Sunday, October 4th from 3-7pm at the Johnson County Fairgrounds.
Special
guest speakers include Senator Debbie Stabenow of Michigan and Senator Bernie
Sanders of Vermont. Tickets and more info are available at: http://jcdems.org.
*DID YOU KNOW?
Just 146 counties contain half of the US population. The other 2,998
counties hold the other half.

In this edition:
*RIP John Hayek
*Thanks, Sandy!
*Rock On, Ross!
*Good Luck Gregg!
*Opinion Piece
*Hawkeye Challenge
*Hawkeyes Vs. Mocking Jays
*Did You Know?
*RIP John Hayek
Iowa
City lost a treasure with the passing of local attorney John Hayek. I had the
pleasure of working with John on a few projects, and he was really a gem. John
was brilliant, kind, generous, and a real gentleman. My condolences to his
family and friends.
*Thanks, Sandy!
Congratulations
to Sandy Pickup on her retirement from the Crisis Center. Sandy has served the
neediest folks in our community for many years now – first at the Free Medical
Center, and recently at the Crisis Center. I have long admired this pillar of
our community.
Sandy
is an easy person to like. Unfortunately, due to her selflessness, she is also
an easy person to take for granted. So please take a moment to thank Sandy for
her years of service.
Congrats
and good luck, Sandy!
*Rock On, Ross!
Former
ICCSD Equity Director, Crisis Center Director, and Iowa City Mayor Ross Wilburn
is leaving Iowa City for a job with the Iowa State Extension in Ames.
This
is a huge loss to our community. There were many times over the years where I
disagreed with Ross. I often wanted him to be bolder and exert greater
leadership.
But
that is not who Ross is. Ross is thoughtful, deliberative, and careful. He is
also one of the most genuine, kind, decent, and honest people we have ever
elected. I am sad to see him go on a personal level, but I’m also sad
politically. I really thought Ross would make a great State Representative some
day.
Good
luck, Ross. Stay true to the black and gold!
*Good Luck Gregg!
I
am often critical of the local press. That criticism is deserved, but not by
everyone in every organization. The reporters I know are all overworked, underpaid,
do not get the column inches they need, and are not given the resources they
deserve.
Gregg
Hennigan from the Gazette is as good as any reporter with whom I have had the
privilege of working. Unfortunately, Gregg is leaving journalism for the PR field.
Thanks,
Gregg, and good luck. You will be missed!
*Opinion Piece
You
may have read the opinion piece in the Press Citizen dated Saturday, August 30.
In it, Mayor Matt Hayek and Councilor Susan Mims made several interesting
points. I agreed with a couple; I strongly disagreed with others.
But
you will never hear a conversation on these (or any other) issues. Because they
refuse to meet with the Board of Supervisors.
Since
we cannot discuss anything in public, I’ll make two points here: First, the
title of the article is, “Iowa City Leaders Welcome Fact Based Discussion.”
Ummm… no, they do not.
Want
a fact-based discussion? Allow the public to speak at a work session. Televise
said work session. Take feedback from someone other than City staff. Hire an
economist to decide these “facts”. Meet with another elected body. Do almost
everything different than the way you currently do it.
Where
was the fact-based discussion on the last TIF? The Council ignored a petition
signed by over 2000 citizens in that case.
Come
on. You don’t REALLY want a fact-based discussion. There is simply no evidence
for that statement.
Secondly, in the piece, they say, “the City
Council’s commitment to affordable housing should be apparent from the ballot
language for the proposed Local Option Sales Tax.”
That
language fails to make anything “apparent”. Here are the facts – affordable housing
is the number one problem facing Iowa City. It has hit crisis proportions.
EVERY Councilor save one promised to improve the situation as a candidate. That
is 6 votes, minimum.
NONE
of these Councilors, when asked directly, said, “I’ll increase affordable
housing in Iowa City, but only if the LOST passes.” They simply promised to do
it. And they should. And they don’t need a new tax to do it. They can simply
require developers to do it. But they and other Councils have lacked the
necessary political courage for over 30 years.
I
am not impressed by putting this item on the ballot. I’ll be impressed when
they follow through.
*Hawkeye Challenge
Johnson
County is preparing for year 2 of our Hawkeye Challenge on Friday, September
12… the day before the Iowa-ISU football game.
The
Hawkeye Challenge started last year as good-natured ribbing between Treasurer
Tom Kriz and Auditor Travis Weipert. Each claimed to be a bigger Hawkeye fan
than the other.
Soon
this became which of their offices had more Hawkeye Pride. Then it spread
countywide. So we held a competition between all the different departments.
This
was fun! From entering the Sheriff’s Office to the strains of “Back In Black”,
to tailgating food at the Treasurer’s Office, to playing games at Social
Services, employees took it to heart and made it really fun. Every office was
decorated black and gold.
The
event was really perfect… the public still got served in a timely fashion, and most
of them had a great deal of fun with it. I’m really glad Tom and Travis got
this started!
The
only complaints we got were from the minority of the staff that roots for Iowa
State. So this year, those folks can show their colors, too.
If
you get a chance, stop by the County offices on Friday the 12th, and
judge the winners for yourself!
*Hawkeyes Vs. Mocking Jays
I
really enjoy the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. In her dystopian
world, there is a wealthy Capital City, surrounded by twelve “Districts” in
various states of poverty.
As
regular readers know, I am also a big fan of Hawkeye sports. As usual, I
attended the Hawkeye’s opening game against UNI.
And
that is where it hit me. The gleaming Press Box at Kinnick. Down below, disheveled
looking people picking up cans. The Press Box is the Capital City. They are
afforded all sorts of rights and privileges that others are denied. Rules are
different for them. Meanwhile, folks out in the Districts struggle. Their focus
on their situation is diverted by “The Games” – in our case, Hawkeye sports.
Attendance
is down at Hawkeye games. People feel as though they are overcharged,
over-policed, and just generally treated badly. They are tired of it, and ready
for a change.
Could a revolution be coming? I dunno. I doubt it. But if so, I
hope it hits our whole society and not just Hawkeye athletics.
May the odds be ever in your favor!
*DID YOU KNOW?
Mocking Jay Part One hits theaters November 21st!
