A February 2009 newsletter from the Greater Iowa City Apart- ment Association referred to Apartments Downtown as “the juggernaut of rental housing in Johnson Coun- ty.” The owners, the Clark family, manage “hundreds of rental units in more than 100 buildings and proper- ties throughout the down- town and campus area,” according to the newsletter. And in a statement released Feb. 1, G. Joseph Clark, the business man- ager, said he didn’t believe the lawsuit should be cer- tified as a class action. “We do our best to pro- vide good, quality housing at a fair price,” Clark wrote.“We are proud of our business and do believe we treat our tenants fairly.” But Dara Eifler, a recent UI graduate and former tenant, had a different story. For Eifler, 22, the trouble with Apartments Down- town began in the summer of 2009, when the landlord sued her for $898 after her sublessees quit paying rent. Eifler said after a judge dismissed the case and said Apartments Down- town couldn’t file another suit, she received another bill for the same amount. She called the landlord to complain. “They told me the law- suit was just a formality, and they’d either sue me again or send the debt to collections,” Eifler said. Eifler said the company continued to pursue her through a collections agency until September 2010, when she hired a lawyer to confront the firm. “I want to do whatever I can to get them to stop doing this to people,” Eifler said. “Most of their tenants are young students — they don’t read the lease, and they aren’t aware of their rights.” An expert said even if tenants sign the lease, the plaintiffs could still have a solid case if that lease con- tradicts state law. “The question here is whether or not, under Iowa statutes or Iowa case law, there are rules that would have prohibited that kind of situation,” said University of Iowa law Professor Sheldon Kurtz.

And an extensive $6.2 million proposal approved at Tuesday’s Iowa City School Board meeting will help the department do just that. “City High has an out- standing performing-arts program — a rich tradi- tion,” City High Principal John Bacon said. Though the high school has produced a variety of performanc- es, he said, the perform- ing-arts Bacon depart- principal ments have had to overcome a number of obstacles related to the school’s existing facility. “It’s very, very old — it’s the original,” said Candace Wiebener, the City High orchestra director. In addition to City High, she said, performing-arts groups from around nine other schools use the high school’s space. Tuesday’s proposal included a substantial increase in the facility’s size — including 18,500 square feet in building additions and 10,200 square feet in remodeling — creating what Bacon and performing arts staff said is much- needed space for storage, instruction, and rehearsal. The existing facility pro- vides little to no storage for items such as costumes and music files, he said, as well as larger pieces such as sets and risers. Many of these items are stored under the stage or in the school’s cafeteria. City High’s music depart- ment will gain eight more practice rooms and what Bacon calls “significantly larger rehearsal spaces” for vocal music, orchestra, and band. This will also include a music-theory classroom, complete with keyboards and technology. The plan has been an ongoing process. The board originally budgeted $4.5 million for the project, and when Bacon requested more money at a Septem- ber 2010 meeting, School Board officials expressed displeasure with the higher amount. But on Tuesday, officials approved the pro- posal unanimously. The proposal, presented by Shive-Hattery architect Tandi Dausener, will also eliminate the department’s portable classrooms and renovate rooms for the visual arts and students with special needs. Dausener said the proj- ect is set to break ground in the spring of 2012 and con- clude in the summer of 2013 in time for the 2013- 14 school year. Yet community members at the meeting expressed concern over the implica- tions of the project, espe- cially in relation to career- education programs. Under the proposed plan, several of the career-development programs, including the school’s auto-maintenence class, would be removed from their current locations in order to make room for the arts facilities. Community member Steve Miller said the archi- tects should consider build- ing on the west side of the facility instead of the north, leaving career education facilities undisturbed. “Career-education stu- dents deserve that consid- eration,” Miller said. But Dausener said that
