It was pointed out that im- mediate removal of snow from the ice would improve the condition of the ice for skating. Lindberg suggested -two -rules of thumb for maintaining the ice: 1. Maintain the ice according to the weather timetable. 2. Maintain the ice with small hand equipment rather than large power equipment. - Commission felt these suggestions seemed terribly costly and therefore were a further argument for an artificial rink. Chubb was then asked to draw up rough costs for using these suggestions`. Commission urged that an ice rink be included in the Community Development Act Park and Recreation for investigation by package the Planning'Staff because of the past and rising support for winter recreational facilities expressed by the community. Rough building and operating costs for an enclosed rink were estimated at approximately $550,000 plus $40,000 peryearfor operating costs. Commission felt that the possibility of a simple post and roof structure with open sides would be perfectly adequate and less expensive with the • emphasis being on skating, not on spectators'. Kelley raised the question if fees would be -charged to. -support it. Commission felt this brought - up the problems of the overall Fees and Charges situation. Commission then discussed the need for high quality landscape and site planning which was not requested of the Steering Committee. If a large development package is okayed by Council, Commission urges ad- dition of funding for park site planning by a salaried landscape archi- • tecta Commission feel this needs special attention! TheShowersproperty was then briefly discussed. rCommission endorsed the concept of having matters concerning the Riverfront being funded in a separate category,-with.the Riverfront Commission responsible to Council for budget review in that area. It was reported by; Chairperson Fox that Pat White had written a letter as Chairperson of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission to Mayor Czarnecki'endorsing the ASERP Program. Commission then discussed the FY 76 Budget Proposal. ;Questions were asked about the proposed Leisure -Use Study. ;Gene Chubb explained the purpose of such a study and urged that it be kept separate from other studies. The Study is still endorsed by Commission. Commission discussed Project GREEN's proposal to Council of, providing a $5,000 match to City finds to hire a horticulturist to maintain Project • GREFsI's plantings. "Gene Chubb, Billie 11auber and Dennis Showalter had - worked out approximate costs for taking over maintenance of all Project Page 4 Park and Recreation Commission January 22, 1975 - - GREEN's plantings (except the mini -parks) as follows: Horticulturist - $13,000 ($100000 + benefits) 2 part-time laborers 3,600 Supplies _ 5,000 Chubb was requested to make a formal list, as Commission wants Council FY76Budget to understand that these costs would be in addition to the GREEN its proposal to Council. Commission as written before Project made hopes that this will not be put into competition with existing Park and Recreation projects. Regarding the budget for tree plantings, Chubb had not_put back in the which budget the $30,000 which had been cut from the last budget and had be re -instated in the FY 76 Budget (see Minutes, • Commission asked November 13, 1974). Commission urged its full re -inclusion noting the desparate need for site planning first. Commission also noted that City Pool lights had not been re -included in the budget as asked (Minutes, November 13, 1974). - There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:45 p.m. • Respectfully submitted, Ellen R.

We more actively encouraged and sought out interested citizens' reactions to our business, 3. We have a periodic review of a list of all complaints received by the department (started in December). 4. Our new Bylaws and Council's new Rules have made it possible for minutes of our Wednesday -night _meetings .to automatically come before Council the following Tuesday night for action -whether it be final action or referral to Staff. The Chairperson receives Friday's ten- tative agenda for Council by mail in time to send.a representative to - the meeting for our business. This has worked well. • S. Other problems remain; which have caused me, as Chairperson, to spend more time on my duties than would seem necessary, - a. On April 10, we discussed the need for a time limit to be placed on return of materials referred to Staff by Council (i.e. motorcycle/landfill-use:time_lag:), • b. -Another confusion stems from no set route being established for: our recommendations referred to Staff by Council (Fox letters, August 14 and September 9)._ We still urge Council. to save time and effort by setting the general`Policy of having Staff come through us first (i.e. Staff ASERP Report being studied _by,us and presented withour work-up, instead of -having it go directly to Council -from -Chubb --and Wells -as -had -been -planned), c. A final source of confusion has been our Director's inter- pretation of the Code charge -to: "furnish such assistance and information as the Commission shall require" as not being an authorization to ROUTINELY provide Commission and Chairperson with ALL materials relating to our area. BUDGET PROCEDURES We have struggled to intelligently "recommend and review... budgets realting to parks, playgrounds, recreational • centers and cultural functions" (Code), 1. FY 1974 a.

This was arrived at in consultation with the City Finance Officer."

Concern.for protecting'Riverfront parkland from nuisance uses on the Gordon Russell property led us to request Zoning Code changes to "provide suitable buffering of parks and recreation areas from adjacent uses." (10/9, and sent in letter to Donald Madsen, 10/11) d. On October 25, we urged "prompt adoption of.a Mandatory Park Dedication Ordinance." Hayek's letter, November 6, that this must' wait for completion of the Comprehensive Plan alerts us to the • problem that neighborhood parkland may be needed in new sub -divi- sions coarsing into the City before this Ordinance can be passed. These parks should be earmarked by Planning Staff and purchased . as much ahead as possible. We would urge increased use of the Planning and Zoning':Comnission`inthese planning efforts, as per State Code. (When Fox -and Lindberg took Hollywood Manor.'s park request to their February 28 meeting, they agreed to the need for a park, but could not rank it in City priorities) • 4. Acquisitions Past planning dating back to the'Burke Report was updated by the Com- munity Development -Staff in two.Acquisition_Recommendation Studies; - purchase -of a Hollywood Manor•••Area•Neighborhood-Park-was urged by us on February 27 and a`neighborhood park for the."Northeast Area", as described by the Planning Staff, was recommended,May.8. In each • case, we based our final specific' recommendations on:: all past City planning stressing the need for more neighborhood parks, on the 1974 Planning Studies, on Park Staff input, and on neighborhood feeling expressed in petitions and at many; meetings. Each park is crucial and pending, despite inclusion.in-the 1976-80 C.I.P.— Including me, as Chairperson, in Executive -Session discussions of negotiations has been helpful: But this -area of what input the'Crncnission can have in a final acquisition decision (i.e. requested' February 27 for . Hollywood Manor) remains a question. S. Use of West Landfill On March 6 we recommended that areas not being actively used for landfill operations be made available for recreation uses such as cross-country skiing and including "recreational vehicles" which the Iowa City Competition Riders offered to help set up. $10,000 for 1974 appears in the 1973-77 C.I.P., but we never heard back last year after the matter was referred to the City -Manager by Council • ` on March 12.: In the following budget squeeze, we cut back from the 1 • budgeted $60,000 for "74 -76 -to just the .,funding for motorized vehicle use" in 1974. --(4/24) . Recently, a request for space has cane from the Aerohawks. 6. Bikeways This was a year of repeatedly urging that Bikeways be moved out of the Parks and Recreation column into a Public Works line with an expanded budget; finally okayed as 844-11-$40,000 in the 1976-80 C.I.P. - on November 13, Marianne Milkman, Joe Mather and Jim Lindberg were appointed to a Bikeways Advisory Sub -Committee to help coordinate bike planning with the University and County, and to pursue FAUS funding with Staff. PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION • 1. ' Programming for the Handicapped Several vehement letters in our Winter Survey led to a Sub -Committee of Hebert and Marx to study further action..,(2/13). Emphasis on getting the handicapped into the mainstream of life and, the possibility of hiring a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist led us to requesting $500 for Staff to work up_programming in the area. This was withdrawn a University Recreation Education Department/Recreation • - when combined Center program with grantfundswas accepted for "Special Populations" of those who are: Mentally retarded, physically handicapped, mentally ill, aged, alcoholic/addict, economically disadvantaged, adult and youth offenders, blind and/or.deaf.z This. is a fire. year program with the-City:picking up. ;an increasing share of, the costs up to $361.00 in the fifth -year; plus providing -the facilities. Because grants are before never secure, the possibli.ty.of increased funding may occur then. This is an area that needs firm commitment. • Z. Zoo -Naturalist Programming This area declined miserably with no staff person from February until July, and no Park Superintendent -over -the summer. Our -.interest in this is high with the goals of expanding it in the Afternoon School Programs and into a nature center either in Hickory, Hill or possibly the using the current maintenance building.This whole matter and Brauer Study needs thorough exploration with implementation of the Staff and Council. 3. Afternoon Elementary School Recreation Program Salvaging this program has been a difficult and time-consuming effort for the Commission.- A Steering Committee was set up when the program seemed jeopardized by Staff attitudes, as expressed in a negative report of August, 1974, and they worked with School and City Staff to outline how the,program.could work. ;The final recommendations of • - expansion to all elementary schools who wish -it, with a $5 fee, for accepted -and -forwarded to on -site -material -and leader -costs -were Council Success will still depend on cooperation among all those involved. 4. Ice Skating On September 25, we discussed the problems of ice up -keep and need formoreskating space. "Provisions for hockey" so:far as possible were urged in our FY 75 budget remarks. On December 11, we "expressed, concern about the loss of square footage ,for skating rinks" with Melrose "Lake, Happy Hollow and Longfellow School not used as had been done in the past.; Budget restrictionshave made an,Ice Rink not seem - feasible, but this is a carry-over problem area from as far back as the Recommendations of 1966. There is little recreation available during the Iowa City winters, and as- per -our :ranked !-list, we recom- mend building an ice skating facility AHEAD of any more pools. S. - Band Shell • Discussions have moved from consideration of a music back -drop to be more of a multi -use programming facility; possibly one that could moved around. 6. Recreation' Center Addition This project has changed from an early emphasis -on handball courts to one of providing multi-purpose rooms and access to all in the • building. ' There is a possible overlap caning of the Center's services provided for SENIOR CITIZENS with those of a Close Mansion type set-up, i.e. supervised crafts -and games. The use that the existing Rec building < cannot currently provide is a "clubhouse!', -drop-in type.' But if new including construction•.for:a Senior -Citizens Activity -Center -is pursued, such facilities in the Rec Center addition might provide a "sensible" - combination of services. 7. 'Program Evaluation our support for requesting an outside "Status Study -Iowa City Park and Recreation Programs and Facilities", (Chubb, proposal draft) picked up momentum when the frustration of certain groups in dealing with Staff led to their coming to and through the Commission with .the Program details and requests, i:e. May 8, Women's Volleyball Group and October 9, children's "shortie",swimming class.

Please advise my office of any threatened claims or litigation. I realize that itis impossible to define precisely the point at which a - disputed matter becomes a threatened claim or lawsuit. However, my suggestion would be to err on the side of notification in questionable cases.That way, if we become aware of a matter which may develop into a lawsuit or claim, we can notify our -liability insurance carriers' if it is the type of claim covered by our insurance and/or make an investigation of the facts ourselves in order to preserve necessary evidence to protect the City's interest.

He also asked -for -discussion of the procedure for Monday concerning Housing and Community Development Act money. The Mayor suggested: 1) the Staff recommendations on eligibility of projects, 2) projects be categorized the first year and beyond, like the CIP, 3) to estimate the costs, after which the information would be given to the Staff for finalization.

January 26, 1995 To Members of the Iowa City Council I have read newspaper accounts and attended the one public hearing in which the Housing and Community Development Act of 1'774 was discussed. I have not been deeply involved but I do know you are deliberating this subject today and I would like to raise these questions: 1) How dos the community steering committee proposals relate to your own projected 5 year capitol improvement plans? - 2) Is It clear that these fundsareover and above the grants and aids as of 1975 ..•... Or might there be a proppect of cutbacks and thus a project once funded might suddenly be without support. I say this not to be negative but to be realistic as government funds are not endless. 3) The swimming pool proposal is good, but we must remember there is no assurance that either a bond issue would pass nor that the Board of Education would be able and willing to divert the 21 mill levy to the pools (other building needs may have priority Inviewof future of Central Junior High). 4) I seriously doubt the wisdom of either -a human resources center nor a'children and family resources center. It is time to movetogethervia theJohnson County Family Services agency and not fragment our approaches.- The county ` certainly has a firm grasp of area needs and knowledge of helps available._ Furthermore, human needs planner only seems a duplication of existing approaches 5) _ We in this community, want some tangible results. We are not apt to be Impressed with more studies, whether it be on the use of the public library nor senior citizen needs. 61 ready the need for more low rent housing has been documented: Why not proceed to meet that need? 6) 'I believe the city would be on very shaky ground to be- come involved in the SEATS project We already have a major concern in funding and serving via our own city transit system. I further believe that night and Sunday service for senior citizens might best be met through contracts with local taxis whose service would be when and where needed. Sincerely.

MEMORANDUM 1 TO: Members of the City Council ' RE: FY 1976 Budget Briefing ' DATE: January 24, 1975 ' Submitted herewith for your review and consideration is a summary of financial data which is intended to provide an initial perspective for evaluating appropriation -' requests from Departments and Boards and Commissions for Fiscal Year 1976. The report_ is divided into separate sections to provide: 1) charts and summary data of actual and estimated expenditures for fiscal years 1974 and 1975 and pro-forma 1976; and 2): brief summaries of each functional area which includesfinancial as well as narrative information. .. In preparing this report certain assumptions were made regarding program changes and capital outlay requests as follows: A. No major capital outlay requests were included unless they had been approved. in the Capital Improvements Program for FY 1976. Those that were proposed ' have been scheduled for consideration at the time for review of the current 5-year Program. B. The proposed expenditures and estimated receipts for FY 1976 do not include ' estimates for implementing special, programs and projects now being considered, but not yet approved, by the City Council. Specifically, these include: ]) Federal Aid Urban System projects for 'which only the `local matching ' share_has_been identified; 2) Mass Transit improvement projects;- 3) Projects supported by "hold harmless" funds available from the Housing and Community. Development Act of 1974. It is recommended that at the time these 1 projects arc finally approved amendments will be made to the operating and capital budgets as appropriate. Estimates to this date do not result in a balanced budget for the coming ' fiscal year. The trial balance indicates a projected deficit of $797,174 in the General Fund. Combined with the need to provide a-reasonable working balance at June 30, 1976, an adjustment in receipts and expenditures approximating $1,200,000 ' will be required. In addition to this document, this Department will be providing more information ' of an analytical nature during the next two weeks concerning specific items such as Mass Transit, General Revenue Sharing, and Youth Programs. Projections of anticipated future revenue sources, expenditure levels, and program' additions will also be ' The current schedule anticipates that Council deliberations on a proposed provided: ' budget can be completed by February 12 in order that final estimates can be prepared ' prior to setting the Public Hearing on February 18, 1975.
