Trey Hotsenpiller with Scout Troop 2000 presented his Eagle Scout project to Commission. While
planning his project, his desire was to do something.that could be incorporated into a park. He has
constructed birdhouses which has been installed at Kicker's Soccer Park. He explained that the houses are
made of rough wood and have a removable panel to allow for easy cleaning. Bird asked if the houses
would be left in a natural wood state or if they would be painted. Hotsenpiller said they would be left in
their natural state. Bird asked if the scouts would go out and clean them in the spring. Baird noted that
Parks staff will take care of cleaning them. Serenda asked if they were made to attract a certain species of

bird. Hotsenpiller answered that they are meant to attract bluebirds. Staff and commission approved of his
project and thanked him for his presentation.
2022 CHADEK GREEN PARK CIP PROJECT DESIGN REVIEW — JULI SEYDELL JOHNSON
Seydell Johnson announced that she will be presenting in place of the landscape architect who was unable
to attend. She explained that she will present the project design proposal for Chadek Green Park, Court
Hill Park and Whispering Meadows Park. Following her presentation, members of the public will be
invited to speak, followed by commission discussion.
Seydell Johnson presented the project design for Chadek Green Park. She noted that Chadek Green is a 5-
acre park located south of Friendship and City Highschool. The City purchased the property from the
Chadek family in 2014. The primary use to date has been to house 116 rented community garden plots.
The design concept proposes the addition of a small parking lot, paved paths for easier access to the east
gardens, a restroom, shelter and a small playground. Seydell Johnson noted that the staff recommends
these changes.
Seydell Johnson shared comments received during a public meeting held on October 20 at the park.
Public comments are available in the archived copy of the November Parks and Recreation Commission
agenda packet online at https://www.icgov.org/city-govemmentiboards/parks-and-recreation-commission.
At this time, Seydell Johnson opened the floor for public comment.
Theresa Carbrey, an Iowa City resident and a current Chadek Green garden plot renter, commended Parks
and Recreation staff for creating beautiful parks in the community. She encouraged staff to recognize that
the community garden program deserves additional funding for maintenance and enhancements to the
gardens, as well as a dedicated staff person who could provide education. She feels this would make the
Iowa City Community Garden program stand out from others. She mentioned that to her knowledge, the
soil has never been tested at Chadek Green. She is in favor of creating an access to the plots for unloading
and approves of a parking area as well. She does not approve of the fence that is currently in place. She
suggested that staff perhaps look at the plan that Fred Meyer with Backyard Abundance proposed a few
years ago. She would like to see ample compost available through the City for the gardeners. She closed
by saying that these gardens offer the community a family activity, they provide a good source of
exercise, encourages a healthy diet and is a great way to connect with nature. She added that it is an
activity that involves no screen time.
Linda Diggelmann, community member, shared that she is a Master Gardener with Johnson County and is
willing to help the City by providing education to the gardeners.
Roxanne Mitten, who lives one block from Chadek Green Park and rents a garden plot, is delighted with
the location. She said that one take -away she got from the public meeting is that the people really enjoy
using the open space. She would discourage extra garden plots. She talked about the challenges of water
access so strongly supports the addition of a metered water source, adding that metering would provide
better water management. She supports the addition of a restroom and loves the idea of having a shelter
and a playground in the park. She suggests that the shelter be of a smaller size, stating that the small
parking lot would not be conducive to larger crowds. She said she loves what Parks and Recreation is
doing with the parks. Specifically, she loves seeing all the various activities offered including the
playgrounds and splash pads, as well as the sculptures and art in the parks.
Seydell Johnson responded to the questions and comments from the public. She noted that the Backyard
Abundance design plan from 2018 is included in the commission agenda packet. At that time, the City
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
November 10, 2021
Page 3 of 7
was unable to move forward due to the cost as well as the knowledge that this bigger plan was coming up
in a few years. The fence was one part of the plan that was able to be completed. Staff agrees that the
fence does not work in the way it was supposed to. The plan also shows a sculpture, a natural play area,
and picnic tables, so is like the plan being presented tonight but with a different configuration.
She noted that the soil has been tested and referred to Baird for more details. Baird reported that the soil
tests showed the dirt to be good for garden growth. He noted, however, that it does depend on what you
are planting as different crops require different soil types. He pointed out that there seems to be a
misconception about the addition of compost to soil as it can be harmful to the soil if used in abundance.
Seydell Johnson continued. She stated that there is currently another survey on the recreation web page
asking how the department can improve the community garden program. So far, items requested are water
access, improving access within the garden and spaces, and removal of the split rail fence. Department
gardening operation questions were addressed. She added that while there is some staff that can address
those questions, there is room for improvement. She would like to work with Master Gardeners in the
future.
In response to the amount of open space, Seydell Johnson responded that .7 acres of the 5 acres is used for
garden plots. With the addition of a parking lot, playground, shelter and restroom, it would take an
additional .3 acres and more garden space would add another half -acre of ground used. This still leaves
3.4 acres of open mowed turf space. She shared comparisons of other similar parks in size, this is a good
amount of greenspace. Staff recommends the parking area and paved paths are necessary to address
accessibility concerns. Staff has received positive comments about adding a restroom. The playground
generated a lot of discussion. She addressed the statement about the proximity of other nearby parks and
playgrounds. She pointed that most of these locations would require the crossing of busy streets. She also
noted that the playground at Hoover Elementary has been removed so the addition of a playground at
Chadek Green Park would replace that loss. This playground would be similar in size as to those at
Cardigan, Villa and Scott Parks. She said there is room for flexibility regarding the size of the shelter.
She then addressed the question of adding community garden space. She explained that at this time there
are 273 garden plots available for rent in the community, which sold out within three hours of opening
registration. This supports the need for additional garden plots. This also addresses the City Council's
strategic goal relating to local foods and climate action. She said that a question came up about spreading
community gardens to other locations rather than adding to existing spaces. She explained that a number
of parks are part of the stormwater system so would not be a location for gardens.
At this point discussion was turned over to the commission members.
Odinet noticed that most of the objections seem to be regarding the addition of a playground. He asked if
staff knew why this is the case. Seydell Johnson said the concerns that were expressed were about the loss
of greenspace and that it may lead to overcrowding of the park. Odinet said he is uncomfortable with
what this implies, saying that this is what parks are for. Bird pointed out that two-thirds of the
respondents do support the addition of a playground.
Hachtman asked if a more permeable surface for the parking lot has been explored. Seydell Johnson said
that it can be explored but that the primary concern of staff is addressing accessibility and maintenance
concerns.
Bird asked how many parking spaces would be included in the parking lot. Seydell Johnson said it would
include five parking spaces. Bird asked if the budget for the project has been addressed. Seydell Johnson
said that everything shown in the concept plan is within the budget.

Serenda asked how neglected garden plots can be addressed. Seydell Johnson explained that the contract
signed by each renter states that if they abandon their plot, they will not be allowed to rent a space the
following season. However, to date, there has not been enough staff to monitor the plots on a regular
basis. The department offered beginning gardening classes a few years ago and found that while a lot of
people have good intentions in the beginning, they don't consistently maintain the space throughout the
season. Serenda said she is in favor of anything that will increase the accessibility and usability of the
park. She supports the addition of the parking lot and a smaller shelter and has no objections to the plan
overall.
Baird offered a description of what exactly the raised garden beds consist of. He explained that raised
beds are to provide ADA access. They allow a person to get up close to the garden and the ability to
access all parts of the garden plot.
Moved by Hachtman, seconded by Smith to recommend the addition of a parking lot, a smaller
park shelter, restrooms, playground, the addition of infrastructure for water and the future
expansion of the garden plots in Chadek Green Park. Motion passed 6-0 (Lemoupa, Schmidt &
Wills absent).
Following approval of the design plan, Seydell Johnson asked for a recommendation from Commission
regarding which playground option they choose. She went through each playground explaining their
amenities. She said that staff recommends option #1 because of the circular layout which provides a
variety of connected play elements. The playground options are available in the archived agenda packet
online.
Moved by Hachtman, seconded by Odinet that the Commission recommends playground option #1
as the playground of choice for Chadek Green Park. Motion passed 6-0 (Lemoupa, Schmidt &
Wills absent).
Hachtman noted that he is glad to see that staff is looking at solar lighting of these parks.
2022 COURT HILL PARK CIP PROJECT DESIGN REVIEW — DON MARNER SNYDER &
ASSOCIATES:
Seydell Johnson presented the Court Hill 2022 Playground and Shelter Project Design. She explained that
this project includes replacing the existing playground and two shelters in Court Hill Park. She noted that
the playground was installed in 1993 and the shelters prior to 1979. Staff recommends installing one of
the shelters in approximately the same location with the second shelter being moved closer to the
basketball court. Seydell Johnson shared the playground design concepts. There are five choices with the
most popular being option 3. As per survey results, earth tones are the color of choice These are available
in the archived copy of the November 10, 2021 Parks and Recreation Commission agenda packet.
Linda Diggelmann said that she has used this park for several years with her own children and now her
grandchildren. She appreciates the opportunity for the public to offer input. Her grandchildren were
delighted with option #3. She noted that this option is great for preschool aged children. She
recommended adding a second toddler swing to the playground structure. She was happy to hear that the
boulders are staying put pointing out that as the children grow, they enjoy climbing on these rocks.
Seydell Johnson asked Nick Streng to add the second toddler swing to the concept plan.
Commission members agreed with the staff recommendations for the Court Hill Park project.

2022 WHISPERING MEADOWS PARK CIP PROJECT DESIGN REVIEW — DON MARNER
SNYDER & ASSOCIATES:
Seydell Johnson explained that this project adds a small playground, shelter, drinking fountain and an
entrance path to Whispering Meadows Park. She noted that development is somewhat limited in this park
as it includes stormwater structures and easement. Seydell Johnson said that the public consensus was that
any improvements would enhance this park. She noted that a porch -swing with a roof overhead design,
like what is in Riverfront Crossings Park, may be a good option for this park. She compared the shelter
size to that at Pheasant Hill Park. Of the five playground options, staff recommends option 3 as it
provides shade.
Serenda said that in the design presented it seems that the playground is very close to houses and asked if
there would be a buffer added. Seydell Johnson suggested that a plant buffer could be put in place.
Bird asked Baird his opinion on the shelter size. Baird said it won't be as much of a gathering place as a
spot for patrons to sit in the shade.
Smith shared that she likes this area and she bikes by it on a regular basis. She wondered if there had been
any brainstorming to discuss ways to incorporate the wetlands. She is happy to hear that local people are
using this park.
Bird said he likes the picnic shelter with the playground.
Moved by Hachtman, seconded by Odinet, to approve playground Option 3 and the placement of a
smaller shelter in Whispering Meadows Park. Motion passed 6-0 (Lemoupa, Schmidt & Wills
Absent).
REPORT ON ITEMS FROM CITY STAFF

November 10, 2021
Page 6 of 7
comments from Social Pinpoint, will be gathered and packaged. They will then be presented during the
steering committee process in December. Barker will keep commission members updated as the process
continues.
Parks Division Superintendent — Tyler Baird:
Season Change Preparation: Baird shared that the changing of the seasons means changing of equipment.
Staff is busy mulching the parks and completing the final mowing process. They have begun the
transition of mowing to winter equipment updates. He reported that the restrooms and drinking fountains
in the parks have been winterized.
Park Projects: Baird reported that Glendale Park is moving along. The paving of the path is complete.
The shelter and playground are delayed, and staff will plan on a spring installation of those structures. He
announced that the Iowa River Trail has opened back up.
Seydell Johnson reminded commission members that there will not be an in -person meeting in December
as members have been invited to attend the Board/Commissioner Training 101 session via zoom on
Wednesday, December 8 at 6 p.m.
CHAIRS REPORT:
Bird noted that three of the commission members terms end December 31, 2021. Those members include
Angie Smith, Ben Russell, and himself.
Bird thanked Smith and Russell for their commitment and contributions to the commission.
Bird commended staff for "soldiering on" during very positive feedback from people, who are utilizing the
parks and participating in Recreation activities.
COMMISSION TIME/SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS:
Odinet asked if there were any updates regarding the Butler House, specifically if the roof was paid for with
Parks and Recreation funds. Seydell Johnson reported that the Historic Preservation Commission has sent
a memo to City Council asking for direction on what they would like to see done with the property. She
will share that information as it becomes available. Historic Preservation would like to meet with this
commission if Council recommends preserving the house and property. Odinet reported that Kevin Boyd,
Chair of the Historic Preservation Commission, has asked Odinet to meet with him discuss the Butler
House. Boyd referred to a memo he had written in the past regarding the property. Seydell Johnson will
forward that memo to Odinet prior to his meeting with Boyd. She will also research the roof costs and how
those were funded. Odinet mentioned that Boyd says that the Waterworks Park is maintained by Public
Works. Seydell Johnson explained that while the area is called Waterworks Park, it is not truly a city park
but land for the water treatment plant. Baird reported that staff does share in the maintenance of the park;
however.
Hachtman thanked the commission members who are going off the commission for their dedication. He
also noted that he appreciates the updates and that it is great to see the Halloween Carnival and other
activities return.
ADJOURNMENT:
Moved by Hachtman, seconded by Smith, to adjourn the meeting at 6:17 p.m. Passed 6-0 (Lemoupa,
Schmidt & Wills absent).

To: Jul! Seydell Johnson, Director of Parks & Recreation
From: Brad Barker, Superintendent of Recreation
Re: Parks and Recreation Fees and Charges
Commission Role:
Provide review, recommendations, and approval
Background:
The City Code requires the Parks and Recreation Department to submit a schedule of fees and charges
every year for approval by the City Council. The Parks and Recreation Commission annually reviews and
approves fees and charges for all Parks and Recreation Department services and programs.
Staff recommends that user fees for FY23 incur an increase in the 2-5% range. Exceptions to this are
daily admission fees and other anomalies as noted. The reasoning for the variation in percentages is to
round numbers to the nearest dollar In order to simplify the user registration experience. There were no
increases implemented in FY22.
Notable variations in the recommended user fees include:
• Farmers Market:
o The upper end adjustment to $20 is to accommodate charges for daily vendor fees.
• Recreation Centers (Robert A. Lee and Scanlon Gym)
o Meeting. room prices have switched to per hour prices rather than three hour block
prices to provide more flexibility for scheduling, Meeting room prices have been
adjusted to be a consistent hourly price at both facilities.
• Aquatics
o Group and adaptive lessons do not have a recommended increase in order to keep that
option as affordable as possible. Private lessons increased at a more sizable rate to
accommodate increased staff wages.
o Water Fitness pricing structure has changed to better reflect the needs of current
operations.
o The Water Safety Instructor course has increased to a fee that is more equivalent to
what similar local agencies charge.
• Dog Parks
o No recommended increases in fees due to consistently larger net revenue in relation to
other program areas.
• Outdoor Sports Courts
o Outdoor sports court areas including pickleball, basketball, tennis and bocce courts are
not reser-vabie-by-the-public—and-thus-do-not e-arr-y-a-fee.

Cemetery:
• The cemetery had "Reserve Parking", "Funeral In Progress" and "Funeral directional signs" designed and
printed. These are removable signs that can be used to help notify and direct visitors to the funeral
location.
Facilities:
• The new dehumidification system in connected, and the first of two start up sessions have taken place.
Last steps include tying in the new electrical service with MiclAmerican Energy Company, commissioning,
review, punch list and training. The maintenance staff have already observed improvements in the
Mercer Natatorium space, the solarium and southern windows are clear of frost from the increased
fresh air exchange, also movement of air is visible on the pool water surface.
Top Staff Issues
Parks
• Supply chain delays, shortages and price increases continue to be a challenge.
Recreation
• Applications for many positions, particularly aquatics, have been slower than usual to come in.
• Staff continue to do a nice job with ensuring that facility users are in compliance with the mask
requirements.
• The Special Events and Communications Program Supervisor position is currently vacant and plans are
being made to fill the position.
Cemetery
• Staff has been busy with snow/ice removal.
• Staff will begin trimming Oak trees around the cemetery as there are many low branches over the roads
in the cemetery.
Facilities
• After very erratic seasonal temperatures late fall and early winter (52 high on Christmas day!), cold
temperatures and arid conditions have set in and staff are adjusting HVAC systems accordingly. Staff
have completed winterizing the HVAC units, including draining cooling systems in the Recreation and
Senior Center facilities.
• Staff are working to keep floors clean and dry with the outside wet conditions.
• As the public engage in more indoor activities, the staff are still working to keep masks and hand
sanitizer available for patrons.
