City Council members and City staff continued review of the elP projects.
PARKS AND RECREATION
Parks and Recreation Director Terry Trueblood presented information about the proposed Parks
and Recreation capital improvement projects.
CRANDle PARK BANK STABILIZATION. Trueblood explained that there are two different
methods of doing the project, the $60,000 project is a more elaborate system. and the
$30,000 project would do nicely.
I
UNIVERSITY SOFTBALL LIGHTING. Trueblood explained this project would involve entering
into long term arrangements with the University of Iowa to light three of their four softball
diamonds for joint use of the facility. Trueblood explained disadvantages are lack of
concessions, working with the intercollegiate schedule, and flooding. The advantages are the
City could get the adult softball out of Napoleon Park, the University facility is ready-made,
and it would reduce the dollars needed to be spent on a City sports complex. Horowitz raised
concerns about equal use between the University of Iowa and Iowa City. Trueblood explained
that the University of Iowa and the eity would enter into a written agreement to spell those
things out. In response to McDonald. Trueblood stated that it would cost approximately
$700,000 to $1,000,000 to build a complex similar to the University's softball diamonds.
Trueblood noted that this project would allow the City to convert the Napoleon Park totally
into youth softball. Horowitz inquired about additional costs, Trueblood stated that there
would be shared costs for the electricity and maintenance. In response to Novick, Trueblood
stated that the adult softball program costs $40,000 to $50,000 annually. Trueblood noted
that this project is considered to be a very high priority.
PARK/SPORTS COMPLEX. Trueblood stated the greatest need is for soccer fields. Ambrisco
asked if the Parks and Recreation Commission has considered doing the project piecemeal
over a period of years. Trueblood stated yes and said that this project was ranked the number
one priority on the Parks and Rec Commission's strategic plan.

COURT HILL PARK. Trueblood stated this project would allow for a minor amount of off.
street parking and a restroom. In response to Kubby, Trueblood explained the south end of
the north section would be widened out in the street for parking,
BENTON STREET PARK. Trueblood noted that this project has been discussed for several
years and would become part of the river trail system.
IOWA RIVER TRAIL SYSTEM. Trueblood said that it is difficult to put a cost estimate
together without getting a full fledged study done and the plan is to have the Iowa River trail
system run all the way from the reservoir down to the Hills access,
SOUTH SITE SOCCER FIELDS. Trueblood noted that this was ranked as a high priority and
would initiate a plan to begin developing soccer fields. Trueblood explained that currently an
agreement with the County states that before any development is begun there has to be north
access. Trueblood said that the kickers and youth soccer would like to join forces with the
City to initiate the project. Trueblood presented information about the cost of the north
access. Trueblood stated the access would include a seal coat type driveway.
NAPOLEON PARK RENOVATION. Trueblood stated this project is ranked as a very high
priority and is a number one priority on the Parks and Rec Commission's strategic plan.
eourtney asked if girls softball has any funds to help. Trueblood explained that they indicated
that they had some money they could put into improvements,
RECREATION CENTER FLOOR TILE. Trueblood stated that the 9,000 square foot of asbestos
floor tile will need to be replaced in the future, Novick inquired about covering up the tile
before it starts cracking. Trueblood stated it would be very difficult for the Rec eenter to
maintain 9,000 square feet of carpeting. Novick suggested using sheet vinyl or wood.
Trueblood stated he could look into that.
HICKORY HILL TRAIL, Trueblood explained that he would like to be able to develop a trail
that is accessible to the disabled and renovate existing trails. Novick inquired about the lack
of maintenance on current trails, Trueblood stated staff did not want to put a lot of money
into maintenance of the trails until they knew whether or not this plan would be implemented.
Horowitz asked what is the possibility of altering existing trails so as to let the old trails go
back to nature and start new ones. Trueblood stated he did not know.
WILLOW CREEK OFF.STREET PARKING. Trueblood noted that if new soccer fields are built
this project would not be needed. Trueblood stated this project was to get better parking for
soccer.
KIWANIS PARK. Trueblood explained funding for this project depends upon the extent the
neighborhood association and Kiwanis want to become involved.
HUNTERS RUN PARK. Trueblood noted that plans are short.range and long.range. Short.
range plans involve a small area including a shelter for playground equipment. Long.range
plans are for development of the 16 acres of ground. Horowitz asked if the property is
adjacent to the Johnson County Historical Museum property. Trueblood stated no.
OPEN SPACE.LAND ACQUISITION. Trueblood stated this project pertains to the neighbor-
hood open space plan that is currently being developed. Trueblood noted that the proposed
open space plan will come to Council in June.

CREEKSIDE PARK SHELTER, Trueblood explained this is ranked as a high priority item
because it needs so much work.
RECREATION CENTER ROOF, Trueblood stated this project is ranked as a very high priority.
Trueblood explained that the proposed roof would have a minor slope,
FUTURE PARKLAND DEVELOPMENT. Trueblood stated $50,000 per year for seven years
was budgeted. Trueblood said the parkland development is a high priority and was listed as
a number 5 priority in the Parks and Rec eommission strategic plan,
CEMETERY EXPANSION, Trueblood stated $200,000 is budgeted for this item. Horowitz
suggested the City seek a consultant to obtain information how they can restructure the
cemeteries to get a longer life, Trueblood reported a firm from Wisconsin has contacted the
Parks and Recreation Department regarding a study. Atkins explained there are a number of
options including going out-of. business altogether and encouraging others to get into the
private cemetery business. Atkins noted there is always going to be some demand for burial
at public expense, Ambrisco suggested the Parks and Rec Commission look into other
options. Horowitz raised concerns about appropriating $200,000 for acquisition of land and
there might be more efficient ways of respecting the wishes of people.
EXPAND ROBERT LEE RECREATION eENTER AND MERCER PARK AQUATIC CENTER.
Trueblood explained that each project would cost an estimated $4,5 miilion. Trueblood
explained that the projects would double the size of the Recreation Center and more than
double the size of the Mercer Park Aquatic Center. In response to Novick, Atkins stated that
there are two to three more years before the Mercer Park pool will be paid for. Horowitz
raised concerns that the westside recreation needs are not addressed by these projects.
Horowitz asked if a 28E agreement with eoralville could be used, Trueblood explained that
Coralville charges a non-resident fee and that the University of Iowa facilities are open to the
public.
I
MUNlelPAL GOLF COURSE. Trueblood stated this project would cost an estimated $3.5
miilion and would be self-supporting. Trueblood stated the project would require a feasibility
study. Kubby asked if Trueblood had information about organic golf courses. Trueblood
stated yes. Trueblood explained Iowa City is the largest city in the state without a municipal
golf course. As an example, Trueblood stated Cedar Rapids has four golf course and charges
$8.50 to play 18 holes. Trueblood noted Cedar Rapids is currently doing a feasibility study
for their fifth golf course, Trueblood noted that the Recreation Center expansion was on the
Parks and Recreation Commission's strategic plan list at 112.
INTRA-CITY BIKE TRAILS, Trueblood stated this project is a component of the Neighborhood
Open Space Plan and is number 3 on the Parks and Rec Commission strategic plan list.
Trueblood stated that there are no cost figures listed and a lot of it would be simply
designating streets and sidewalks as bike paths.
ICE SKATING FAeILlTY. Trueblood stated the projected $1,5 million cost would be for a very
basic ice skating facility, Horowitz asked if the ice skating facility could be utilized in the
summer for skateboerding. Trueblood stated the facility would have a concrete floor and
could be used for other purposes, In response to Kubby, Trueblood stated the $ 1.5 million
price is just the capital cost. Novick asked if the ice skating facility would need walls.
Trueblood stated other communities that have ice skating facilities have recommended that
the facility be in an enclosed building,

SYCAMORE FARMS WETLANO. Trueblood stated that no cost estimates have been
established because project plans have not been developed.
NEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS
City Manager Atkins presented information about the proposed new public buildings projects
as follows:
PUBLIC WORKS COMPLEX. Atkins stated the biggest drawback to the public works site is
its location because it is constrained by the Airport and the clear zone and the site is more
valuable for commercial use. Atkins explained the City would like to move the old bus barn
on Highland Court out and get the water site inventory into the Public Works site. Atkins
explained that funding from the Public Works complex could come from the use of water,
sewer, road use tax and the sale of the land. In response to Novick, Atkins explained
boundaries for the site for commercial use would be outside of the clear zone. Novick asked
the reason not to place the Public Works complex on the current site. Atkins stated the site
is worth more commercially and is not well designed now,
PARKING RAMP - NEAR SOUTHSIDE. Atkins stated projected cost is $4 million and would
be paid by parking funds. Atkins noted the City has contacted St. Patrick's Catholic Church
regarding a location for a parking ramp.
ART/eONFERENCE CENTER. Atkins noted the projected cost is $20 million to $25 million.
Atkins stated that a study is underway now for the Art Center, the Art Center Committee has
asked for an additional 30 days, and it will be 30 to 45 days before there is a final
recommendation.
FIRE STATION. Atkins explained that fire service is measured by the speed of the response
and the number of personnel. Atkins noted that the City's response times remain good.
Atkins stated there are other options available including policies that would deal with road
improvements and the willingness to expand the capacity of certain east-west and north-south
roads. Ambrisco inquired about abandoning current fire stations. Atkins stated that remains
a real possibility. Atkins explained that fire response has become more person-related with
emergency medical kinds of services, Atkins explained fire stations are traditionally located
in high value areas such as the fire station located off of Lower Muscatine near the Industrial
