FOR IHHEDIATE RELEASE
The Iowa City Pollee Department and the lewa Governor's Traffic Safety
Bureau urges f..Illes to recognlzp. the annual Child Passenger Safety
Awareness Week from February 10.16, 1991.
The theil, Buckle Up for Lovel, Is designed to encourage parents and
others to protect their children In child ssfety seats and safety belts
by correctly using them. The goal of 1991's awareness week Is to urge
correct use of these protection devices. When used correctly child
safety seats are extremely reliable In preventing deaths and Injuries to
young passengers.
Kotor vehicle crashes are the number one killer and crippler of
children, Correct use of child safety seats and belts Is 71 percent
effective In preventing death and 67 percent effective In preventing
serious Injuries to children four and under. '
,
In 1989, highway crashes killed 723 child passengers under the age of
five. Parents can help reduce the number of deaths caused by such
crashes by buckling In their loved ones every time they drive. Child
restraint systems saved 238 lives In 1989 and 1,324 children since 1982,
All 50 states and tho District of Columbia have laws requiring Infants
and young children to be placed In safety seats and secured with safety
belts. '
The Iowa City Police Department and the Iowa Governor's Traffic Safety
Bureau join law enforcement agancles and citizen groups throughout the
nation In recogniZing February 10.16 as Child Passenger Safety Awareness
Week, . time for evaryone to get Into the habit of correctly using child

City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
Date' February IS, 1991
To: Dlroe\or 01 Parks and Roerel\tlon
From: City Manager
Re: Ryerson'. Woods
AI you mentioned to me, there were some expressions 01 concern on \hO part 01 tho mombars
01 the P~ and Reeraatlon Commission eoneornlng the Ryerson'l Woods projeel Spoelllcal1y,
.
I understand they were eoneomod that future lundrng was not shown In the budget plan. Also,
there was concern as to the reasonlnghatlonalo behind tho decision not to Include tho Ryorson'.
Woods proloctln tho eapllallmprovement plan. I wm aUemptlo addtoss bot~ Issues.
On pago 283 orllle proposed budgol, the prolec~ Ryerson's Woods Park Dovelopmonl' $55,000,
Is shown as a eapllallmprovement program notlundod but requosted. In the preparaUon 011110
budge~ I aUemptto ldenUfy the projects requested so tho City Counellls awaro Oltho8O requeDIs
which may not have received my rocommendatlon In the lormal budget proposalsubmlUod.
Tho ratlonalo that I usod In tho recommondaUon !l21to fund Ryorson's Woods Involved sovora!
considerations. AdmlUodly, eaCh Is Judgmental, but hopefully tho Commission will undorsland my
position/concerns with respect 10 flnanclng not only tho general oporatlng budge~ bul also tho
capital budget.
Ryorson'i Woods appears to bo a park thai Is planned to be developod as somewhat 01 a
regional nature park. Whllo 1\ certainly has morlts and 1\ does provide an InloresUng roCteaUonal
opportunl\y, 1\ Is located In a somewhatremoto area and tho accossiblllty would be a~ Immodlale
causo lor concom. Duo 10 tho laet thaI wo havo tho Hickory HII1 Park, which selVOs a almllar
naturo pam polley, 1\ was my Judgmont that I would preror soolng funds dlrocted loward tho
dovolopmont of Hickory HIli Park, and when and 111\ reaches Its lull stage 01 developmenl, that
Is with rospoctlo capllallund needs, we could then turn ou~ allonUon to a socond parl<. likely 10
bo Ryerson's Woods. '

Tho second concern Is. as I have expressod 10 you In tho paSI. I wonllo make sure thallunds
ore mode available on a roubne basis 10 Improvo upon OUI nelghbolhood por1l Iyslem.
Onenlimol renovations, SUCh as picniC Shollers and othel types 01 eap!lal requests, are needed
and IllS my ludgmenl thai we do havo an oblillaUon 10 maintain, 10 the bosl 01 OUI ability. those
parks whleh I/e actJvery usod by our neighborhoods
r
I "
I
A third poInlls the amounl 01 money requested would likely be only an Initial phase 101
dovolopmenl to allow groater public p81llelpation. AI you know, Ileelsllongly there are areas
In our community thai aro In noed 01 new parka and ag~n I would prefer seeing lunds directed
loward the purehaso, and dovelopmGnl 01 additional park space In those neighborhoods which
cu//enUy do nolllnjoy the sarno lovol of palka, roeroation and open spaeo aetlvlties as other
neighborhoods.
,

,
Fourthly, thoro Is an ongoing planning process to Initiate a suecasslul public referendum, and a
signlncant debt for a new parlls complex and possibly Improvements at Napoleon Park. I
understand thls to bo a high prlorlty for tho Commission and the varlous constituent groups that
,
are pursuing this Issue. AI you are aware, we have Ilmltod debt capacity wlthln our ovelall
financial p18MlngJIax pol/des and therefore certaIn tradeo~s have to be Incorporatod. While II
may be dealrable to pursue additional caplt'" debt, wfthln the guidelines established by the City
Counell, that simply reduces our ability to nnance other operating expenses as our taxes are
dlvortod 10 financing dobt as opposed to current operations. I can go Into more detail II you feel
tho CommissIon nncls It necessary.
Hopelully, this will give you a briof analysis of my consldoration or the Ryerson's Woods project.
II the Commission would like to discuss this with me personally, you only need call. Pleaso feel
froe 10 share thIs memorandum wfth the Commission.
