v. Funds for Housina and Community DeveloDment Droarams
The Commission notes that the need for housing and community development funds far
exceeds the availability. Therefore, well deserving applicants are sometimes not
recommended any funds at all or not funded the full-requested amount. Given the
long-term declining trend in federal dollars for housing and community development
programs, these programs may need significant local and state funding in the near
future.

Subject: Comments related to the FY 08 Annual Action Plan
To the city council and the city manager:
Below are some very brief comments that I sent yesterday to Steve Long regarding the FY
08 Annual Action Plan:
Charlotte Walker
In a message dated 4/30/20075:39:19 P.M. Central Daylight Time, WalkerCL04 writes:
I see many problems with the Iowa City FY 08 Action Plan. I will point out a few of the
most serious problems that I see in it. I may make more at the related public
hearing that will take place tomorrow -- scheduled to take place after the deadline for
. the comment period.
1. There is very little effort made to include low income people in this HUD allocation
process. Three ear marked blocks of funds are stripped away from public comment
right from the start. But even for the rest of the funds, there is extremely limited public
involvement. This needs attention or that aspect of HUD rules is meaningless. The
entry listed for public involvement on page 59 in the FY 06 Action Plan is deceptive,
especially regarding involvement of low income people.
2. The Housing Fellowship allocation was made without the applicant showing what
type of house they plan to build, where they plan to build the houses, when they plan
to build (other than within 5 years), who will ultimately own the houses since it is a tax
credit project, and the final cost of the houses. Questions asked to determine that
information were brushed off, saying that those decisions were not made yet. Effort
was made to get a copy of the Housing Fellowship's administrative budget without
success. The applicant objected and said that their organization's board looked after
their administrative budget. An old audit report was given as an alternative.
The Housing Fellowship made a distorted complaint related to my questioning about
their administrative budget. I have some audio tapes related to the intimidation that
followed the applicant's interview meeting.
3. Too much of the HUD money is going for housing for only a few people at the lop
level of HUD eligibility. The one project aimed at homeless people seems based upon
poor judgement. Buying a condo to rent to one homeless family doesn't make any
sense at all.
I may submit others later.

Dear Iowa City City Council:
I am a long-time resident ofIowa City, and I am a member of the Board of Directors of Local Foods
Connection. My name is Mohammed Samuel FilaIi and today I am writing to express my full support of
our organization's CDBG grant application to the City of Iowa City for $5,000 towards the FY08 salary of
our Executive Director.
Please, let me say some interesting facts about us Local Foods Connection. We raise funds from our
donors and then we purchases produce, bread, eggs, meat and other products from local farmers and then
distributes these goods or foods to families. Since, these families have a limited budget they cannot
otherwise afford to buy healthy nutrition or a tasty and fresh food on their own. To us this is more than
charity because we help farmers and neighborhoods to share the benefit of our Iowa agricultural
production.
In achieving our goals, we are matched with families with a limited income and resources and that of
course with the help of local charitable, religious, and social service organizations, such as the Arc of
Johnson County, the Johnson County Crisis Center and the University ofIowa Lion's Club. Especially,
we assist families in a community supported agriculture (CSA) program.
I thank the CDBG grant committee, the Iowa City City Council, and the City ofIowa City for this
opportunity, and for reviewing our proposal.
Sincerely yours,

Connection.
I write to express my support of our organization's CDBG grant application to the City of
Iowa City for $5,000 towards the FY08 salary of our Executive Director.
I believe that the public, especially that of Iowa City, are growing more aware of the
importance of pure, good food and recognize it's beneficial effect on health and wellness.
Localfoods Connection mission is to foster the availability of such food to all. One of
our primary strategies to meet this is to rais enough funds to grow Local Foods Connection
to the point that we are sustainable in the long term. I feel that the ability to
compensate our Executive Director without reducing the client benefits of our nonprofit is
crucial and approval of our grant application would make a significant contribution to the
community.
I thank the CDBG grant committee, the Iowa City City Council, and the City of Iowa City
for this opportunity, and for reviewing our proposal.
Sincerely,

This correspondence will become a public record.
Dear Council Members:
It has been brought to my attention that the Iowa City Housing Authority has requested that up to
$390,000 be shifted from other CDBG projects recommended by the HCDC to the IC Home Ownership
program for which they submitted an application. I urge the Council to approve the allocations
recommended by the HCDC, which spent many hours reviewing the proposals submitted, asking
questions, and visiting project sites. Although we are not totally satisfied with the allocation we
received, in spite of ranking second among the seven public facilities projects, we support the process
and overall recommendations if the HCDC.
Please take into account the following:
. The ICHA Homeownership proposal was ranked sixth out of the eight housing proposals submitted
. Five of the eight HCDC members voted to allocate no funds for the project.
. The HCDC recommended allocations for housing total 67% ofthe total dollars, compared to 50%
last year, while recommended allocations for public facilities and public services projects have
declined from 27% last year to 20% this year. City Steps guidelines are 48% for housing projects.
. The ICHA Homeownership project appears to target "public employees who earn moderate
incomes" and not low income families.
. At $130,000 per home for the ICHA Homeownership project, the Habitat for Humanity project is a
much more cost efficient way to provide affordable housing for low and moderate income citizens.
If such a program is indeed a priority of the Council, I urge you to identify a source of funds that will
not adversely affect other valuable and needed projects that directly benefit a larger number of
individuals and families with low income.

CITY OF IOWA CITY
MEMORANDUM
Date: April 26, 2007
To: Iowa City City Council
From: Neighborhood Council of Iowa City
Re: FY2008 Program for Improving Neighborhood (PIN) Grant Recommendations
Thc Neighborhood Council of Iowa City (NCIC) has recently reviewed the FY2008 grant applications
presented by various neighborhood associations ji)r funding through the Program for Improving
Neighborhoods (PIN) Grant program. This is the thirteenth year the City has made funding available to
neighborhood associations to make improvements in their neighborhoods. This year $15,000 was
appropriated for funding the Program for Improving Neighborhoods.
The Neighborhood Council developed the program guidelines, the ranking criteria, and process for
evaluating the applications when the program began in 1995. They revisited these program details in
2002 and clarified the use of PIN funds on private property, for school district playgrounds and for
programs that are extensions of existing City services such a spring brush cleanup and couch disposal.
This year, nine grant applications from eight neighborhood associations totaling $30,870 were reviewed.
The Neighborhood Council reviewed the applications, clarified details and negotiated funding levels.
The following is a list of all grant requests, the amount initially requested and the amount being
recommended for funding. Two applications were voluntarily withdrawn as a result of the limited
funding. A resolution approving this recommendation and authorizing expenditure of these funds will be
considered at your May 1, 2007 meeting.

A. Describe the project; why is it needed and what are it's goals:
Get neighbors to interact with each other to form bonds within their neighborhoods to help prevent crime and to feel comfortable
if there is an emergency they can get help. To have children in the neighborhood connect so that they can have other children to
play with and the parents will know where their children are. To also make the Grant Wood area a place that others in the
community will look upon as a good place to live. There are many low income families that don't have the money to go out to
watch a movie at the theater and the Harvest Party will be an event that will have food, play games, dress up in costumes, and
have fun. Once we get the parents to bring their kids and realize that we are an organization who wants to better our
neighborhood then we will have more involvement in our association.
Add additional pages if necessary.
B. General List and Description of Activities with estimated time line:(please indicate if this project will or
could be phased over a number of years) Our 1 ,( event-We will be using the money to show a movie at Fair
Meadows (if it rains it would be held in the Grant Wood gym or rescheduled) on an afternoon/evening in July or August. It
will cost $200 for a permit. We would offer refreshments.
Our 20d event- "Harvest Party" in October (around Halloween)with food, games, prizes, candy, costumes, police officers, fire
truck, on an afternoon/evening for all of the 960 households in the Grant Wood Neighborhood Assoc area.

PROGRAM FOR IMPROVING NEIGHBORHOODS
D. Describe the process used to solicit neighborhood input into this funding request and summarize
results:
Our association meets the third Thursday of the month and one of our agenda items, which was put in the newsletter (we send
out between 911 & 160 newsletters), was to apply for a PIN grant and at the meeting this was discussed and approved.
We had a very positive response to our last "Harvest Party" with between 400-500 people participating in the event with
volunteers from the GW Neighborhood Association
Add additional pages if necessary.
E. Does this project benefit low-income, elderly, youth or other disadvantaged youth? If yes, please
explain.
Yes, we realize that our neighborhood has many low income families and elderly people. Most can not afford to take their
children to the theatre so movie night, with refreshments, will give them a fun event to come to. Also, the "Harvest Party" gave
these children a chance to have food, play games, talk to a police officer and fireman. We are hoping to give these youth a
place to feel comfortable and we are hoping that we can, in the future, establish more events at the new gym such as "free
play" for kids to come and have activities to do instead of roaming the streets and possibly getting into trouble. We have
discussed ways for the elderly to be able to meet each other so they don't feel so isolated and have friends in the neighborhood
to do things with such as play cards, go out to eat, just visit, etc.
Add additional pages if necessary.
F. Could the project occur without PIN funding?
We don't feel that we can get enough in donations this year to hold these events. We went to many businesses last fall to help
sponsor the "Harvest Party" and we had a tough time getting donations because of all the other groups wanting donations for
their activities.
Add additional pages if necessary.
G. Could the project operate with less funding?
Yes, we could possibly operate on less but we had such a great turnout last year for the Harvest party that we feel we will need
to spend much more this year on food and games, prizes etc. We did not expect to have as many people as we did last year.
We are hoping to get some donations but we struggled last year up until the day of the event trying to have enough food, etc to
make this a party possible Several of us on the committee spent our own funds and did not ask for any reimbursement.
Yes, Movie night in the park will require an approx $200 license to show the movie outside. We would just not be able to
provide refreshments.

Amount of Funds Requested: $5,000
Time Period of Proposed Project:
Mid-May 2007 to mid-November 2007
A. Describe the project; why it is needed and what are its goals:
North Market Square, one of the oldest parks in the city, has a storied history as the
market hub for the Bohemian community which originally populated the area We would
like to come up with a master plan for the park which would lead to improvements that
would maximize its potential as a meeting place and recreational destination for the
diverse population that inhabits the Northside neighborhood today. Our goal is to make
the park more inviting to children, senior citizens, college students, the disabled, walkers,
and bicylists.
2
B. General List and Description of Activities with estimated time line: (please
indicate if this project will or could be phased over a number of years).
Working in conjunction with the professional landscaping firm of Shoemaker & Haaland,
we plan to carry out a series of community meetings that will allow all stake-holders in
the park's future to voice opinions about potential improvements and to imagine ways in
which the park can be made more user-friendly and inviting. Participants will include
residents of both the Northside and adjacent areas, as well as students and teachers
associated with Horace Mann Elementary School and the Preucil School of Music.
Iowa City School District officials have deemed that the amphitheatre on Horace Mann
school property continguous to the park is unsafe. Therefore, we would like to have the
school property included in the master plan. Horace Mann will contribute to the cost of
the master plan (estimated at $7,250) and, eventually, to the cost of the razing and re-
landscaping of the amphitheatre. The school's Playground Committee has already begun
raising money for improvements to the school property, and their efforts will be greatly
enhanced by a professional master plan, which will make it easier to attract contributions
from corporations North Market Square and Horace Mann School are inextricably
interconnected The school uses park property for PE. classes, and the neighborhood
association uses the school building for meetings and activities. Working together, the
Northside Neighborhood Association and the Horace Mann Playground Committee will
be able to bring about mutually beneficial park and school improvements.
The Northside Neighborhood Association hopes to emulate the sequence of events that
led to the highly successful rehabilitation of Benton-Hill Park and of Brookland Park
Timeline:
Mid-May through June 2007
Continue to research the park's history so as to better understand how the park has been
used in the past.
Continue ongoing discussions about plans for the park Hold a series of well-advertised
meetings so that all park users will be able to participate in the planning process.
Retain the firm of Shoemaker & Haaland to develop the Master Plan.
July through approximately November 2007
The firm of Shoemaker & Haaland will carry out site analysis and base mapping of
Market Square.
In conjunction with the Northside Neighborhood Assocation and Horace Mann School,
the firm will hold a public visioning workshop, during which recreational needs will be
assessed
3
Using input from public meetings and observed site opportunities, Shoemaker &
Haaland will create a list of project goals that will be used to guide project design
decisions, and will submit this park development program to the neighborhood and the
City for approval
Shoemaker & Haaland will hold a second public visioning workshop to discuss the park
development program; to discuss safety, parking, and access issues, and to present a
preliminary design concept
Shoemaker & Haaland will develop a final park masterplan, submit a preliminary concept
and opinion of construction costs to the City for approval, develop drawings and
sketches, and present the final park masterplan to the neighborhood. The firm will make
any required changes to the master plan and submit it to the City for approval
Shoemaker & Halland estimate that they can complete their part of the project (which is
more fully described in the letter attached to this application) in two months The overall
project should not take more than six months to complete. Therefore, it would not be
phased over a number of years.
Describe the process used to solicit neighborhood input into this funding request
and summarize results:
Plans for North Market Square and for the PIN grant master plan proposal were discussed
at three Northside Neighborhood Association Meetings. The plans were further
broadcast in the Northside Neighborhood Association newsletter. The Horace Mann
amphitheatre part of the project was discussed at several PTO. meetings and has been
the focus of ongoing work by the Horace Mann Playground Committee.
E. Does this process benefit low-income, elderly, youth or other disadvantaged
youth?
The Northside neighborhood includes a significant amount of lower-priced housing, and
so provide homes for many people of modest income, as well as for the many cash-
strapped college students who inhabit the large number of rental properties in this part of
town. Due to the proximity of Shelter House, North Market Square serves as the chief
outdoor recreational area for the city's homeless children. Horace Mann School is one of
three elementary schools in the Iowa City Community School District (the other two are
Twayne and Grant Wood) that serve the largest percentage of the city's poor children
(45% of the children at Horace Mann are eligible for free or reduced price lunches).
F. Could the project occur without PIN funding?
It is highly unlikely that this project would occur without PIN funding.
4
G. Could the project operate with less funding?
The project could not operate with less funding orbe phased over a number of years as
the cost is a single fee to complete this single project The total cost of the Master Plan is
$7,250 (see attached letter from Shoemaker & Haaland). The Parks and Recreation
department has expressed a willingness to contribute to the total cost of the master plan
project, and so has the Horace Mann Playground Committee. The project will not be able
to get off the ground, however, without the acquisition of substantial PIN grant funding.

Re: Park Masterplan Proposal
Northside Market Street Park
Dear Terry:
Thank you for the opportunity to assist you and the Northside Neighborhood in the development
of a Park Masterplan. The proposed scope of work is based on a design process of working with
the City, Horace Mann Elementary School, ICSSD Representatives and the Northside
Neighborhood Association. The Park Masterplan will be the product of a 'visioning process' we
will undertake in partnership with the City, Horace Mann Representatives and Neighborhood
residents and any other stakeholders the group may identifY.
Based on early research we know this park is similar to College Green Park for being the oldest
platted park in Iowa City (1834). We know that the park did indeed offer a venue to Iowa City
Citizens to sell their fresh produce in years gone by. We also are aware that the Horace Mann
Elementary School property allows children to freely use both green spaces. The approximate
size of the park is 1.20 acres. The following is our scope of services for the project:
Scope of Services:
1. Site Analvsis and Base Mann in\!.
a. Obtain available mapping from the City of Iowa City for Masterplan Base Map.
b. Evaluate the existing site features and history.
c. Evaluate the impact of the surrounding neighborhood, school, circulation patterns,
and other area recreation facilities.
d. Photo document pertinent site features.
e. Inspect site to locate unique site features that are not located on city mapping.
f. Develop an electronic base map drawing of the site for use in the design process.
g. Document fmdings for integration into the design.

The identification of an engineering consultant to do a feasibility study for 19th century-style
streetlamps at key intersections will proceed immediately. A determination will be made if
decorative lighting can be installed at these locations with regard to: adequate light,
potential glare, additional wiring, etc. Work will begin in mid-May then the lighting engineer will
submit the first draft of the report for comments from the City, followed by the corrected final
report. Should City Council decide to fund an annual "Street Light Replacement Program"
over several years, a fund-raiser would be initiated by the neighborhood to obtain funds to
purchase native-to-Iowa, purple coneflowers and to participate in planting them around the bases
of the lampposts throughout Goosetown.

A. Describe the proj ect, needs, goals:
Aims: Goosetown is unique. It is the oldest continuing neighborhood of vernacular architecture in the city,
with many cottages that date from the pre- to Civil War period. The location of the neighborhood on the upper east
side has somewhat protected it from development. One of the ways the neighborhood association sought to identify
that heritage was to design the set of goose plaques that are now a cherished part of our identity. Another way to
enhance our neighborhood would be to install a set of 26 19th century-style streetlamps that will evoke a bygone era
for those within and passing through our neighborhood.
Benefits of the project: 1) most importantly, the streetlamps will serve as visible reminders of Goosetown's
150 year history, thus paving the way for possible conservation status (a historic preservation goal) at a later date and
further involvement of homeowners in preservation; 2) the dim lighting of streets during warm weather leaf-cover will
be brightened for those on foot or bicycle, and thus increase the safety of people traversing the neighborhood in the
evening; 3) the project will be let out for bids for a feasibility study that will answer questions of wiring, glare,
adequate light, etc. The neighborhood will then approach the City Council to request funding for a multi-year program
to replace existing street lights or install new ones, hopefully starting in Fiscal Year 2009 (July 2008). If the
replacement program is funded, neighborhood volunteers will gather to plant the clumps of purple coneflowers that
they have purchased as part of a Goosetown fundrasiser. Purchasing and planting heritage coneflowers will contribute
to the aesthetics of the streets cape and, ultimately, to the beauty and ecology of the city; 4) the project might serve as a
pilot program for other neighborhoods in the city, as did our bronze markers-{)ther historic neighborhood may like
the look of the lamps and plantings and initiate their own programs, further enhancing the city; 5) by using plants that
are native to Iowa and have low maintenance, we will be reducing the raw appearance of the lampposts as well as
encouraging a "green"feel to the city; 6) neighbors sharing the work of planting will help to promote a greater sense of
community within Goosetown, building on the identity of the bronze plaques.
Method: Marybeth Slonneger offers her services as the contact/spokesperson for the project. If the PIN Grant is
awarded to Goosetown, a feasibility study will be undertaken by a designated engineering firm from the three that
have submitted bids. Their study would finalize in May, when the results are presented to the City Council. Marybeth
and Carl Klaus will oversee neighborhood mailings to keep neighbors informed of the ongoing project and to raise
funds for the flowers; a special day will be scheduled for neighbors to plant the coneflowers as the streetlamps are
installed. Doug Bottoroff of Shive-Hattery has submitted a feasibility study bid of $7,500 (the bid is higher than
originally quoted because of hours factored in to meet with neighborhood, no longer a necessity); Rick A. Lewis of
Heery-HLM Design has a formal proposal of work summary for $3,900; Kim Hubby of the Howard R. Green
engineering firm has given us a phone bid of $3,500 for the feasibility study.
As more of our cottages revert back to family-owned homes, we seek the cohesion, identity and beauty of our
neighborhood. Antique-style lighting will add a special distinction to this historic neighborhood.

Early era street lamps adorned urban
areas durtng the late eighteen
hundreds. Th~ was a time when
Victortan style and elegance were
matched with the soft glow of gas
lamps. However, at the turn of the
century the trend was to utilize more
Intense elecllic powered lamps. The
impact was that luminaire styles
changed from the graceful lines of gas
lanterns to non-decoralive utilitartan
fixtures at higher mounting heights
and greater spacings.
...
The Dorchester Sertes lumlnalre turns
back time to capture the essence of the
Vletortan style gaslight while
incorporating the most efficient
technology available tOday.

A. Describe the project; why is it needed and what are it's goals:
To put a splash pad at Wetherby Park. Our main goal is to provide an amenity to the south side of town.
This type of project has been completed successfully in similar neighborhoods in the Cedar Rapids area.
The splash pads were funded with CDBG money at first, and now they are being put into other parks as a
capital improvement project. Mercer Park and the Robert A. Lee Recreation centers are both great
amenities to Iowa City, but we would like to see more amenities like this splash pad put into
neighborhoods. The splash pads do not need to have lifeguards, they shut off when vandalism/lightning
is detected.
.
Add additional pages if necessary.
B. General List and Description of Activities with estimated time line:(please indicate if this project will or
could be phased over a number of years)
The CDBG funds require that all money be spent within 2 years. Our goal is to start a fund raising
campaign with the hope of installing a splash pad in Summer 2009.

F. Could the project occur without PIN funding?
Maybe, it is already going to be really hard to raise the additional dollars.
Add additional pages if necessary.
G. Could the project operate with less funding?
Yes, by reducing the size of the splash pad. The lowest dollar figure we feel is feasible is a $120,000
taking into account the number of youth that live in our neighborhood. We feel if we reduced the size
any further, it would not be large enough.

A. Describe the project; why is it needed and what are it's goals:
Glendale Park has been recently reclaimed by the Glendale-Morningside Neighborhood as an important
community gathering area. Previous to this, the park was under utilized because of old playground
equipment and areas that had become overgrown. Working closely with the City Parks Division, some
improvements have been completed (the replacement of unsafe play equipment with some toddler
equipment and clearing an overgrown area), but additional work is needed on the park.
The Glendale-Morningside Neighborhood Association is continuing to work with the Parks Division to
devise and implement additional usage areas for the park. This money is requested to aid in
supplementing city funds for park improvements. Specific park improvements requested in a Glendale-
Morningside Neighborhood Association survey include additional playground equipment, picnic areas,
addition of path/sidewalk (none currently), and landscaping.
Add additional pages if necessary.
B. General List and Description of Activities with estimated time line:(please indicate if this project will or
could be phased over a number of years)
May 3, 2007 - Planned neighborhood meeting with Terry Robinson and/or Terry Trueblood to address
additional park needs.
Spring 2007 - Continue with clearing efforts of overgrown area (stump removal, etc.) and Garlic Mustard
areas
June 28, 2007 - 151 Family Fun Night to be held in the Park
May - October 2007 - Plans implemented from outcome of May meeting.
Development will continue into future years as funding is available and park usage grows.

PROGRAM FOR IMPROVING NEIGHBORHOODS
D. Describe the process used to solicit neighborhood input into this funding request and summarize
results:
Neighborhood input has been solicited ongoing through the past year. At a potluck social last year, it
was decided it was an important issue for the neighborhood and a survey was distributed about it. The
results reflected that playground equipment (75% of respondents), picnic areas (71%) and sidewalk/path
(42%) were the most needed. Also requested were improved landscaping (29%) and community
gardens (21%). Only 4% indicated they did not think any improvements were needed.
The Glendale-Morningside subcommittee has also participated in the Central District Planning Process.
One learning from this process is that our area has less than 50% of the open space desirable according
to the Planning Committee Standards. As a result, they encourage making best use of the space
available. Although Hickory Hill is somewhat close by to our northern neighborhood boundaries, it is
designated as a nature area and there are no plans to put in playground equipment there.
The subcommittee has also been corresponding with Terry Trueblood and Terry Robinson from Park
Divisions. There are some challenges in the park with drainage and visibility of added playground
equipment - these are the types of issues we are still working with the City Park Division about.
Add additional pages if necessary.
E. Does this project benefit low-income, elderly, youth or other disadvantaged youth? If yes, please
explain.
Yes, this project will definitely benefit youth by providing a safe place for them to play. The addition of a
sidewalk or path will also make it more accessible to elderly. Right now, much of our neighborhood is in
transition. There are many new young families, as well as many folks who have been retired for years.
Add additional pages if necessary.
F. Could the project occur without PIN funding?
The city does plan to fund some of the improvements itself, but without this PIN grant funding we would
have fewer improvements or have to wait longer to have them made.
Add additional pages if necessary.
G. Could the project operate with less funding?
We think $3000 is a reasonable supplemental amount to request considering these costs of new
playground equipment, etc. Even partial funding, though, will be helpful and serve as a goodwill effort of
the neighborhood to support the City Park Division in meeting our neighborhood requests.

A. Describe the project; why is it needed and what are it's goals:
The Washington Hills Neighborhood Association plans to purchase and install two steel benches to be
placed on concrete slabs in the wide public right-of-way adjacent to the Scott Blvd. pedestrian sidewalk.
Scott Blvd. is a major arterial with an 8 foot wide sidewalk used eJdensivelyby the neighborhood. The
benches, one planned near the Rochester and Scott Blvd corner and the other closer to Court will provide
a resting spot and place for greeting neighbors. A concrete stamp will be purchased and the
neighborhood will determine what verbiage to place on the concrete foundations.
Add additional pages if necessary.
B. General List and Description of Activities with estimated time line:(please indicate if this project will or
could be phased over a number of years)
Order benches & solicit bids from cement contractors - July 2007
Determine verbiage for concrete stamp and order - May through August 2007
Install concrete slabs with stamp meeting ADA specifications (must be large enough for a 6' bench and a
concrete pad for a wheelchair) & install benches with mounts - September 2007
The project can be phased over a longer time period by proceeding with one bench and concrete slab at
separate intervals. It is our hope that neighborhood associations to the south of Washington Hills will like
this idea and continue with benches along Scott Blvd. to create a continuous pedestrian path complete
with rest stops and places to greet/interact with neighbors.

D. Describe the process used to solicit neighborhood input into this funding request and summarize
results:
The January newsletter announced possible PIN grant opportunities that were raised and discussed at
previous meetings. The newsletter announced the February 3 meeting agenda item. The persons in
attendance at the Feb. 3 meeting voted in regards to which PIN grant application would be pursued this
year. The overwhelming majority of votes received were for the bench project.
Add additional pages if necessary.
E. Does this project benefit low-income, elderly, youth or other disadvantaged youth? If yes, please
explain.
The Washington Hills neighborhood is a 500 acre, almost fully developed quadrant that lacks open
space. Over 1,200 homes are in Washington Hills. Many neighbors utilize the pedestrian paths that are
currently in place. Providing resting spots along Scott Blvd., our major arterial, is useful to the elderly as
well as those with young children. There is a neighborhood commercial development under construction
at the corner of Rochester and Scott that will also increase pedestrian traffic along the Scott Blvd.
pedestrian path.
Add additional pages if necessary.
F. Could the project occur without PIN funding?
The project will not proceed without PIN funding. The neighborhood is currently not set up to fundraise,
receive funds or deposit funds into a bank account. We are a loose association with neighborhood
representatives, but no treasurer position. All items previously funded have been through the Lemme
PTA such as the fees for outdoor movie licensing or pass the hat free will donations to cover costs.
Add additional pages if necessary.
G. Could the project operate with less funding?
Yes, the project could operate with less funding. The neighborhood could proceed with one bench and
concrete foundation. We can also scale back the quality of the benches; however it is our intent to have
durable, low maintenance benches that will match the aesthetics of the area. It is planned that both
benches will be located near commercial developments along Scott Blvd.

A. Describe the project; why is it needed and what are its goals:
The Peninsula Neighborhood Association is asking for your support of the purchase and installation of playground equipment
for Emma Harvat Square.
The Peninsula Neighborhood is a thriving community with 85 residents and 25 children (13 of which are in low-income
housing); future plans entail over 400 new homes and available commercial space set amid parks, squares, and tree-lined
streets. This walkable place is the only new "traditional neighborhood" in Iowa City, and one of only a few in the Midwest. Part
of the charm of the neighborhood is the look of the craftsman-styled homes, spaced closely together with large front porches
and small lots. This design supports community togetherness - especially for those families with children - as most
homeowners rely on the neighborhood gathering areas since they do not have the space to install swingsets or play
equipment in their own yards. Current residents have commented that the neighborhood looks like a Norman Rockwell
painting, as on most evenings (weather permitting) you will find a group of neighbors enjoying each other's company on the
front porches while the children play on the sidewalks or front lawns. The proposed playground would supply an additional
gathering place for families that would be much safer; it would provide a large, accessible space that the entire community
can share and enjoy.
The proposed playground project would also benefit surrounding communities within walking distance such as Oak mont,
Mackinaw Village, Elk Run, and other residents in the Peninsula area. Gwen Johnson of Lepic Kroeger Realty has sold four
homes in Mackinaw Village to families, with a total of seven children so far. Gwen said Mackinaw Village has 132 single-
family lots planned, and no plan for a playground. She talked with the developer of Mackinaw Village, Regency Homes, and
they were in full support of the Peninsula Playground Project.
The Dog Park and Disc Golf Course are wonderful additions to our city; they add to the unique nature of the area and provide
positive social activities for the community. We believe a playground would compliment those offerings on this side of town,
as there is currently no area for children to play. We often see neighborhood children playing in vacant lots, in the streets, or
near busy Foster Road. The closest playground area is City Park, which is a few miles away and not really walkable for most
families. Public transportation currently does not come to the Peninsula Neighborhood, so families would need to drive to use
the playground equipment at City Park. This is not feasible for many families in the Peninsula, including those in low-income
housina who mav not have a car available.
--=
In addition, many residents are concerned that our community is starting to become a place to drive through rather than a
nice, safe place to live. Traffic issues have become a significant concern with the success of the Dog Park and the
anticipated success of the Disc Golf course. The only Iowa City access at this time is by way of Foster Road, through the
Peninsula Neighborhood. It was a serious disappointment to Peninsula residents that the proposed Rocky Shore Bridge was
voted down by the City Council, as this would have relieved some of the traffic issues, and it also would have provided an
additional walking and bicycle path to and from the neighborhood.
The Neighborhood Association, with the input of Terry Trueblood, chose Emma Harvat Square as the location for the
playground because it forms the heart of the neighborhood and would be easily accessible to all residents, including the
disabled and low-income housing. This site was also chosen because The Peninsula Development Company has already
spent significant resources to prepare the park, including grading the Square and installing sidewalks and an irngation
system, planting trees, and erecting a brick sign facing Foster Road. We propose that the playground equipment be Installed
on the east portion of Harvat Square, away from Foster Road traffic. We are also proposing a fence around the playground
equipment and benches to allow families with smaller children to play without fear of the children running into the street. The
area is ready for playground equipment, benches, and fencing; the City does not need to spend the additional financial
resources or time to prepare the site.
The Peninsula Neighborhood Association and PNARB governing board, along with the City of Iowa City, should be the group
to carry out this project because:
. The Neighborhood Association has genuine concern for the welfare and safety of its children and families; and all
homeowners - whether or not they have children - have a vested interest in the continued growth of the neighborhood.
. The Peninsula Neighborhood Architecture Review Board (PNARB) is responsible for the vision and direction of the
Peninsula Neighborhood.
. Terry Trueblood, Terry Robinson and the Iowa City Parks & Recreation Department have the expenence and the contacts
to get the project done efficiently and effectively. Also, the City of Iowa City has an interest in the continued growth of the
neighborhood as a unique place to live - and a promising place to start a commercial venture.
B General List and Description of Activities with estimated time line:
(please indicate if this project will or could be phased over a number of years)
Based on discussions with Terry Trueblood and experience with similar projects, we anticipate that the Peninsula Playground
Project could be accomplished in a few months - depending on weather, product availability, and resources. The Peninsula
Development Company has already prepared Emma Harvat Square over the past year by installing sidewalks, sod, trees,
streetlights, a sprinkler system, and a brick sign (please see attached photos). The proposed area of land is ready for the
playground equipment company to break ground. Kevin Morrow has the plan sketches and information about the land (for
example, placement of the sprinkler system and drainage requirements). The Peninsula Development Company's architect,
Kurt Grates, will also be involved in reviewing plans and timelines with the playground committee, the Peninsula
Neighborhood Architecture Review Board (PNARB) - including Bob Miklo, as well as Terry Trueblood, Terry Robinson, and
other important members of the City.
The Peninsula Playground Project could possibly be phased over the next two years if necessary financially, perhaps by
installing a portion of the playground equipment this year and additional structure(s) in following years, or by adding the
fence or benches in separate phases. However, we would like to provide a safe place for neighborhood children to
playas soon as possible, especially with the increasing traffic from the Dog Park and the Disc Golf Course. Also, the
sooner we are able to install the playground equipment and continue to establish the Peninsula Neighborhood, the
sooner we can attract more homebuyers and businesses to the area.

D. Describe the process used to solicit neighborhood input into this funding request
and summarize results:
In July 2005, Sara Hamilton, a new resident of the Peninsula Neighborhood, started speaking with Kevin Morrow and other
residents about proposed playgrounds or "tot lots" for the neighborhood. Neighbors with children indicated the need for
playground equipment and green spaces, especially given the small back yards of the residential lots. Kevin indicated that
playground equipment was in the plan for the neighborhood in the future, after the green park spaces were established and
the neighborhood continued to grow.
The Dickels, who lived on Foster Road, were one of the first families in the neighborhood and were able to place a small
wooden swingset and sandbox in their back yard; they graciously allowed the neighborhood children to use the equipment
and everyone humorously called it the "Peninsula playground." During the Peninsula Neighborhood Homeowners
Association meeting on September 5, 2005, the association briefly discussed and agreed upon the need for a playground;
however, as this was the first meeting more pressing issues took precedence.
In May 2006, Sara Hamilton met Terry Robinson when he was in the neighborhood planting trees, and Terry put her in
touch with Terry Trueblood, Director of Parks & Recreation for the City, to start a conversation about a playground in the
neighborhood. Terry Trueblood met Sara and Kevin Morrow at the Peninsula Neighborhood Sales Office, where they
discussed options for equipment, location, and funding sources. Sara shared the ideas with other families in the
neighborhood, and everyone was excited about the possibility of a playground in the Peninsula Kevin Morrow approached
the Peninsula Development Company regarding the transfer of Emma Harvat Square to the City of Iowa City, and he
gained their approval for installing playground equipment in the park.
In the summer of 2006, the Dickels moved out of the state, and they took their swingset with them. In addition, the Dog
Park traffic was increasing and there was talk of an additional source of traffic and safety concerns with a proposed Disc
Golf course. The families in the Peninsula Neighborhood were even more motivated to develop a safe, fun place for the
children to play.
Sara continued to engage in email discussions with Terry Trueblood regarding the playground, and they reconnected in the
winter of 2006. At that meeting, Terry met with Sara and Kevin and provided them with general budget estimates for the
project, as well as information and product brochures for several playground equipment companies that the City has used in
the past Terry then agreed to work with the City's attorney to start the process of transferring the land, and Sara and Kevin
solicited input on the playground project.
During this time, the Peninsula area continued to develop - several more homes were completed in Mackinaw Village, the
Elks Run condominium project began, and Phase 2 homes were going up in the Peninsula Neighborhood The Peninsula
Development Company also graded the neighborhood's "green spaces" and created beautiful tree-lined parks, complete
with sidewalks, new sod, sprinkler systems, and signs.
At the Peninsula Neighborhood Homeowners' Association meeting in February of 2007, Terry Trueblood, Kevin Morrow,
and Sara Hamilton summarized their past meetings and ideas, and reviewed the playground company brochures. All in
attendance agreed that the Peninsula Playground Project would have a positive impact on the neighborhood and increase
the quality of life for families in the area. The Association appointed Sara Hamilton the chairperson of the committee, and
Sara agreed to talk with Marcia Klingaman and work on the PIN Grant application to start the process.
Terry Trueblood provided the playground companies' brochures and web sites for the Neighborhood Association to review. He
indicated that these were the preferred playground equipment companies that Iowa City has worked with in the past, and he
informed the Neighborhood Association of the typical process and budget parameters.
Sara Hamilton talked with neighborhood parents to solicit input and support for the project. Kevin Morrow talked with Gwen
Johnson of Lepic Kroeger Realty regarding the Mackinaw Village Development and the support of Regency Homes, and he
spoke with Alan Swanson of Blank & McCune about opinions of prospective buyers. Kevin also spoke with the Iowa City
Housing Authority and the Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship to confirm the number of children and families living in low-
income or disabled units in the Peninsula Neighborhood. In addition, Kevin provided the site plan drawing for Emma Harvat
Square, and he spoke with the Peninsula Development Company to confirm their support of the playground project.
Sara Hamilton corresponded with Marcia Klingaman about the application process and deadline, then she prepared the PIN
Grant application with input from Kevin Morrow. Marcia provided the name and email address for Cathy Wilcox, who was once
active in the greater Peninsula Neighborhood Association. Sara sent Cathy an email to inform her of the proposed project and
solicit her input. Sara also corresponded with Terry Trueblood to check on progress of the land acquisition by the City.
The application was submitted on April 6, 2007, and the Peninsula Neighborhood is now anxiously awaiting the decision of the
Council.
E. Does this project benefit low-income, elderly, youth or other disadvantaged youth? Yes!
We believe the Peninsula Playground Project is an appropriate use of public funds, as it will benefit children and families of
all income ranges and all abilities.
The Peninsula Neighborhood includes a mix of housing, from single-family homes and condos to apartments and
town homes supported by the Iowa City Housing Authority and the Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship. The
proposed playground site on Emma Harvat Square borders Moses Bloom and the town homes in which many low-
income children live. The park is also 1/2 block away from the apartment complex, which is designed for disabled and
low-income tenants.
The playground will be accessible for all people. All of the playground equipment manufacturers we will be contacting
for proposals have designed their equipment so people of all abilities may enjoy it. We will also ensure that all fencing
will be accessible.
At the time of this PIN Grant application, the Iowa City Public Housing Authority and the Greater Iowa City Housing
Fellowship indicated there are 13 children living in their low-income units in the Peninsula Neighborhood. These
children do not have a safe place to play that is within walking distance, and at this time public transportation does not
come into the Peninsula Neighborhood. Many of the children play in the streets, which is dangerous as the Dog Park
and Disc Golf traffic is increasing.
F. Could the project occur without PIN funding?
We sincerely hope the Neighborhood Council will approve our application for this PIN Grant, as the funds would defray
some of the costs and help make the Peninsula Playground Project a reality. From our discussions with Terry
Trueblood, and his SUPPDrt Df the Peninsula NeighbDrhDDd. we anticipate that he and Terry RDbinSDn may be able tD
contribute a significant amount of the necessary funding to purchase and install the playground equipment. In additiDn,
realtor Gwen Johnson indicated that Regency Homes, the development company for the Mackinaw Village subdivision
on Foster Road, fully supports the playground project and may be willing to contribute funds or other assistance.
The Peninsula Development Company has invested significant financial reSDurces (approximately $32,000) in the past year tD
support the projecl. taking what was previously a plot of dirt and weeds and creating a beautiful and accessible park -
complete with trees. fresh sod, street lights. sidewalks. a sprinkler system and a stately brick sign. Emma Harvat Square is now
ready fDr playground equipment, benches, trash receptacles, and fencing tD make it an even more usable and attractive
cDmmunity gathering place. The Peninsula DevelDpment Company and the Peninsula Neighborhood AssDciatiDn will be
providing volunteer assistance to plan and develop the playground project, and the groups may also be able to contribute
additional funding and resources if necessary to complete the project.
Please note: This is a new project (not a continuation of previously funded PIN Grants).
G. Could the project operate with less funding?
We do not anticipate that the project could operate with less funding. Terry Trueblood proposed an estimate of
$35,000-$40,000 for the Emma Harvat playground, based on his experience developing and installing Dther similar
projects in IDwa City. We trust in Terry's estimate and we would be hesitant to reduce the budget in fear of
compromising safety (if we went with lesser-quality equipment) or functionality (if we chose a smaller structure and
then it became overcrowded or it wasn't put to use).
The Peninsula Playground Project could possibly be phased over the next two years if necessary financially, perhaps
by installing a portion of the playground equipment this year and additional structure(s) in following years, or by adding
the fence or benches in later phases of the project plan. Also, the playground equipment companies are committed to
working within our budget parameters, and they might be able tD develop a phased approach or a smaller-scale
project if needed.

From:
Jeff Davidson, Executive Director
Re: Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds for the U.S. Highway 6/Gilbert Street
intersection improvement project
On your May 1, 2007 City Council meeting agenda is an item to repeal the property acquisition
resolution for the US Highway 6/Gilbert Street intersection improvement project. You have
indicated that there is no longer a majority of the Iowa City City Council in favor of implementing
this project. The JCCOG Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) includes $2 million in STP
funds which were allocated by the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board for the U.S. Highway
6/Gilbert Street project. This is a project-specific allocation of STP funds, and the funds are
programmed for implementation in FY08.
The question has been posed as to what will happen to the $2 million in STP funds if Iowa City
does not move ahead with the U.S. Highway 6/Gilbert Street improvement project. According to
standard policy, the funds would revert back to JCCOG for reallocation. We currently have $1.6
million in STP funds available for distribution this fall, and the $2 million from the U.S. Highway
6/Gilbert Street improvement project would be added to this amount for redistribution. Iowa City,
along with Coralville, North Liberty, Tiffin, and University Heights are all eligible recipients of
these funds.
It has been asked whether it is possible for Iowa City to request the $2 million be shifted from
the U.S. Highway 6/Gilbert Street improvement project to another project which has been
considered for STP funding in a previous JCCOG funding cycle. This is possible. A project
which has been suggested by City of Iowa City staff members is the Lower Muscatine Road
improvement project. This is a project for which funding was considered but not allocated during
the last JCCOG STP funding cycle.
The Iowa Department of Transportation has indicated that it would be acceptable for the
JCCOG Board to consider action to shift funds from the U.S. Highway 6/Gilbert Street project to
the Lower Muscatine Road project since it has been through JCCOG's public comment process.
To clarify, neither Iowa DOT nor JCCOG are advocating such an action, but if it is requested by
the City of Iowa City, the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board could consider it.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Re:
Deer Management Task Force Recommendation for 2007-2008
On February 6, 2007, the Deer Management Task Force reconvened to recommend to City
Council a Deer Management Plan that meets the goals of the Long-Term Deer Management
Plan. Upon review of the 2006 DeerNehicle Strike Report, the 2007 Summary Report
submitted by White Buffalo, Inc., and the 2007 helicopter count performed by the IDNR, Task
Force members concluded Iowa City is still experiencing an overpopulation of deer and
recommended lethal reduction by means of sharpshooting and bow hunting during the winter of
2007 -2008. Enclosed you will find correspondence from the City Manager relating to this issue.
The 2007-2008 Annual Plan and the Long-Term Deer Management Plan have been approved
and affirmed by the Task Force. Final minutes of the April 9 meeting and draft minutes of April
23,d meeting are included in the April 26 Information Packet. The Annual Report of the 2006-
2007 Iowa City Deer Task Force has been finalized and approved by the Task Force. Due to the
size of this report, it is available on-line at www.icgov.org.
In anticipation of Council approval, and authorization from the IDNR, enclosed with this
memorandum is a letter from the City Manager to Mr. Larry Wilson at the University of Iowa
requesting access to University property again this winter.

2007-2008 DEER MANAGEMENT ANNUAL PLAN
It is the recommendation of the 2007-2008 Iowa City Deer Task Force that the City Council of
Iowa City resolve that the City Manager is authorized and directed to implement the 2007-2008
Deer Management Plan, including the following elements:
1. The Iowa City Deer Task Force will continue to assemble resources that provide residents
with information on deer and offer guidelines for limiting localized deer damage through the
use of repeiients, screening, alternative plantings, and other techniques. Educational
materials will be available at City Hall and the Public Library, on City Channel 4, and on the
City web site (www.icgov.org).
2. The Iowa City Deer Task Force will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of warning signs
designed to reduce the likelihood of vehicle-deer accidents. To further minimize deer-vehicle
confiict, Council will direct staff to consult with a qualified professional to evaluate feasibility of
passageways under roads in planning and designs for transportation improvement projects.
The City wiii also investigate the availability of federal funds for including such passageways
in eligible transportation projects.
3. The City will actively work with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to fully
understand and support their efforts to control the deer population for which the DNR is
responsible and which affects the health, safety, and welfare of Iowa City residents.
4. The Iowa City Deer Task Force will continue to inquire about the feasibility of a deer
contraception pilot project or program in Iowa City.
5. The City will continue to compile data for deer management, including but not limited to
information about vehicle-deer accidents, citizen comments, and an annual helicopter deer
count.
6. The City will apply in a timely fashion for authorization from the IDNR to implement a plan to
kill no more than the number of antlerless deer as recommended by the IDNR within the Iowa
City corporate limits, by sharpshooting, during the winter of 2007-2008.
a. To enhance understanding of deer reproductive rates, in cooperation with the DNR, the
sharpshooting agency, and meat processors, the City will allow reproductive necropsies
to be performed on deer killed.
b. The City will fully comply with all state laws governing the killing of deer, exercise great
caution and observe all possible safety measures, assure use of the most humane
methods available, and arrange for the free distribution of donated processed deer meat.
7. The Iowa City Deer Task Force will evaluate the effectiveness of this Deer Management
Plan. A report will be filed with the DNR.
8. As the Iowa City Deer Task Force "sunsets" in March of 2008, the Iowa City Deer Task Force
will formulate for the City Council a recommendation on continuance.
Approved by the Iowa City City Council on May 1, 2007
LONG-TERM DEER MANAGEMENT PLAN
(Rev. 5/07)
1. The City of Iowa City will develop an educational program that will provide residents with information on
deer habits and guidelines for limiting localized deer damage through the use of screening, alternative
plantings, and other techniques. The City's Long Term Deer Management Plan will be included.
Educational materials will be distributed through a variety of methods including public informational
meetings, pamphlets, and government television programs.
2. The City of Iowa City will evaluate the need for and, where appropriate, install or petition the State or
County to install on roadways under their jurisdiction warning signs that may reduce the likelihood of
vehicle-deer accidents. In addition, thoughtful consideration will be given to deer migratory paths as
transportation improvement projects are approved by the City Council.
3. In order to prevent irreparable damage to the ecosystems in Iowa City and to prevent significant injury
or damage to persons or property, the City Council has set the maximum deer popuiation density to be
twenty-five (25) per square mile per City-designated management district. Actual numbers are to be
collected via helicopter count.
4. In order to implement its long-term deer population limit, the City of Iowa City formally requests that the
Natural Resource Commission approve a ruie estabiishing a special deer population management area

b. The City is allowed to kill as many deer as the City determines necessary to reach its desired goal.
Killing may occur between September 1 and February 28.
(1) The City is allowed to utilize sharpshooting with centerfire rifles for the lethal removal of deer.
Bait may be used to attract deer to the sites. The City shall determine iocations, training, and
all other conditions for the sharpshooting activities. The City shall also comply with all
applicable state laws.
(2) All deer killed by sharpshooting are to be processed for human consumption and distributed
free of charge. Processing lockers participating in the plan will be allowed to keep and utilize
the deer hide.
(3) No licenses will be required for the City and no fees will be charged.
c. The City will initially utilize sharpshooting over bait to reduce the number of deer in each
management district to the population limit. By the end of the initial reduction plan, it is projected
that the deer population will be at a level that requires maintenance rather than aggressive
reduction. The City will strongly encourage use of non-lethal methods to maintain deer numbers
but recognizes that killing of deer may be necessary to maintain the population goal.
5. The Deer Task Force will convene each spring to review educational material, deer population numbers
(current and projected), management options, and to recommend methods to kill deer. Any or all legal
lethal methods available (including sharpshooting and bow and arrow hunting) may be utilized after the
initial reduction pian if the method(s} meet the following criteria: 1) public safety, 2) community
acceptance, 3} effectiveness in maintaining the desired number of deer.
6. To aid in the implementation of the Long Term Deer Management Plan, the Deer Task Force will submit
an annual plan to be adopted by the City Council following public hearing. Annual plans as approved by
the Council will be forwarded to the Department of Natural Resources and, if necessary, the Natural
Resources Council for authorization to implement.

2007-2008 DEER MANAGEMENT ANNUAL PLAN
It is the recommendation of the 2007-2008 Iowa City Deer Task Force that the City Council of
Iowa City resolve that the City Manager is authorized and directed to implement the 2007-2008
Deer Management Plan, including the following elements:
1. The Iowa City Deer Task Force will continue to assemble resources that provide residents
"th information on deer and offer guidelines for limiting localized deer damage through e
u of repellents, screening, alternative plantings, and other techniques. Educa' nal
ma rials will be available at City Hall and the Public Library, on City Channel 4, an n the
City eb site (www.icgov.org).
2. The 10 City Deer Task Force will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of arning signs
designed 0 reduce the likelihood of vehicle-deer accidents. To further minim' e deer-vehicle
conflict, C ncil will direct staff to consult with a qualified professional to ev ate feasibility of
passagewa under roads in pianning and designs for transportation im ovement projects.
The City will Iso investigate the availability of federal funds for includi such passageways
in eligible tran ortation projects.
3. The City will ac 'vely work with the Department of Natural
understand and s ort their efforts to control the deer popu tion for which the DNR is
responsible and whic affects the health, safety, and welfare 0 owa City residents.

City corporate limits, by sharpsh oting and bow hu 'ng, during the winter of 2007-2008.
a. To enhance understand' g of deer reproductive ra ,in cooperation with the DNR, the
sharpshooting agency nd meat processors, the Cit ill allow reproductive necropsies
to be performed on d er killed.
b. The City will fully c mply with all state laws governing th illing of deer, exercise great
caution and obs e all possible safety measures, assur use of the most humane
methods availa e, and arrange for the free distribution of dona d processed deer meat.

MEMORANDUM

City Council

Re:
Deer Management Task Force Recommendation
Many of us will recall the creation of the Deer Management Task Force in 1997. Their charge
was to determine what steps could be taken to implement a deer management plan to help
control the growing deer herd in our community and thereby reduce damage to property,
decrease the occurrence of deer-vehicle accidents, and in general reduce the number of citizen
complaints about damage done by deer.
The Deer Management Task Force has, until this year, recommended sharpshooting as the
method of kill. Among the other options they have considered each year and rejected has been
bow hunting. The Task Force has recently recommended the Council give consideration to bow
hunting as part of the City's deer reduction plan for the coming year.
The purpose of this memo is to express to you my concern over the potential for deer hunting by
bow and arrow in our community. Our previous policies have been deer reduction by rifle shot,
controlled and managed by City contractors. Deer management was not intended to create
sport hunting opportunities in an urban environment. I believe it is important we be reminded
the overall goal has been to reduce the deer herd. The current policy is simple in that we will
conduct a contracted deer kill (by rifle shot). This involves a process of baiting and killing deer,
with the animal meat processed and given to disadvantaged families. I believe we have
developed an effective deer reduction program and fixed the responsibility with a selected
contractor to reduce the herd, within DNR guidelines applicable at the time. I further believe the
current poliCY provides for a manageable public safety exposure as the deer kill occurs in
selected locations late at night. Proper insurance and training for the contractor are required.
To date, we have experienced cooperation from property owners who have granted permission
to use their properties for baiting and the deer kill. I believe much of the success has been by
fixing the responsibility and the management of the deer kill with one individual, as opposed to
allowing numerous individuals to hunt. A bow hunt would diffuse the responsibility to numerous
persons and I believe dramatically affect the City's ability to manage the deer kill. Additionally,
our current program provides for the deer to be a food source, and I would assume a hunter
would not be required to turn the deer carcass over to a food processor for distribution. The
current program has the City assuming responsibility for processing and distribution of the
venison. In February of 2005 Ruzicka's Locker in Solon processed approximately 6,000 Ibs of
meat.
The following summarizes my concerns over the recommendation to permit deer bow hunting.
mgr/mem/deerkill-bowhunt.doc
1. In order to provide for deer reduction in any significant amount, it would seem we would
need many bow hunters. Over the last three shoots our contractor has killed 604 deer.
Furthermore, I assume the DNR would continue to regulate the number of animals to be
taken as they have done in the past. It would seem in order to accomplish the same
number of deer kills by bow and arrow it would require many more hunters than an
individual contractor.
2. I believe we would risk public conflict and raise very real safety concerns by having
numerous hunters in our community conducting bow hunting. Hunting would likely occur
during the day and not at night which is when a sharpshooter is used. Daytime hunting
would conflict with the use of public open space and normal activities by our citizens
using that space. Numerous hunters in numerous locations increase conflict potential. I
would urge the Council to not permit public property to be used for hunting, particularly
when the highest use of public park/open space property is during daylight hours.
3. If we are to pursue bow hunting, it should require some formal training and certification
by independent parties. Who would manage the certification process? Certification
enforcement would likely be an additional City expense, unless the DNR would choose
. to be responsible, and if so would it occur in a fashion acceptable to the City?
4. The insurance for the individual bow hunter would need to be approved by the City so
we could demonstrate satisfactory coverage. Who would police this insurance
responsibility?
5. A hunter would be required to contact a private property owner, secure approval and
remain on the property for their hunt. hi our urban environment, the boundaries between
private and public property are often indistinguishable.
6. Killing deer with a gunshot to the head is thought to be more humane and a safer
method of deer herd reduction. A deer, wounded by arrow, is likely to find its way onto
other properties and thus the bow hunter must track and. I assume, kill the deer with
additional arrow shots. Wounded deer may not be found by the bowhunters. If the
evidence points to the greater potential for a deer to be wounded by an arrow shot, this
kill method would seem to conflict with the Iowa City Code that states, "No person...shall
kill or cause the death of any animal by any means which causes unjustified pain,
distress and suffering." Additionally, the City Code has prohibitions against bow and
arrow discharge within the City limits. Both of these code provisions would need to be
changed to permit bow hunting.
7. I have discussed this matter with the Iowa City Police and they have recommended that
we do not pursue bow hunting in the City limits. The fixed responsibility with an
individual contractor is preferred.
I believe, given our experience, the public has been supportive of the need to conduct deer
reduction. There is an expectation that this process must be well-managed. have proper
insurance coverage, entail minimal contact with the public, and be carried out by people who
have received City approval and have been properly trained to avoid compromising public
safety.
The work of the Deer Task Force is very much appreciated, but I believe that bow hunting is not
in the public's interest and would compromise public safety.

Dear Larry,
Dale E. Helling
Assistant City Manager
dale-helling@iowa-city.org
The Iowa City Deer Task Force reconvened earlier this spring to review
deer population numbers and discuss deer management options. It is the
Task Force conclusion that Iowa City is still experiencing conflicts of deer
overpopulation and removal will be necessary during the winter of 2007-
2008.
The Task Force will make a recommendation to Council at the May 1 City
Council meeting to allow deer removal by means of sharpshooting and
bow hunting.
If Council approves, and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources
authorizes deer removal this winter, we would like to include University
property in our deer management efforts. Our request to the IDNR, due May
31, will recommend that deer removal in Iowa City be allowed to coincide with
the University's winter semester break as it was last year.
Enclosed you will find statistics from the 2006 deer/vehicle strikes, 2007
helicopter count conducted by the IDNR, and the 2006-2007 Summary Report
submitted by White Buffalo, Inc.
Thank you for your consideration of our request.
Sincerely,
~
