It will -also -transfer most of the responsibility for traffic from the Police `Chief -to the Traffic Engineer. I anticipate corking thin`into"an -ordinance in about three to` four:' months;` however if any time is'_available'prior to then I`will 'begin it sooner. Z. Under investigation. S. There `are 'no benches at bus stop locations` alongjliashington Street because no one has ever recommended that they -be -:installed. If--the--Design 'Review Committee or the architect-or:City;Council recommends their installation, it'would 'seem that they could be installed: 4. The reason for rising coarse aggregate to designate the bike, paths was based on the conclusion that the `bikeways should have .different -texture ..than:_the sidewalk.__ If one were to make the bike path smooth, that means the rest of the sidewalk would .-have-to be of coarse_ aggregate. This would be extremely expensive and ;the architect apparently -felt that the design was more pleasant by'using °thin strips of coarse -aggregate and larger-areas:of smooth paneling.' To the best of my knowledge, there is not too much con-' cern about -the -use of:coarse=aggregate -on a bike path `since.it is generallyagreed that bikes will not ride on this particularstrip and will more' likely` ride out in: 'the street. As you may recall,_ the.3-V one way bikeway on each side of the street was a capitulation to -bikeway -interests and it is gencrally.agreed that it did not directly correspond to the reality of bicycle behavior. 5. =Sidewalks -will not incur damage from salt. The reinforcing steel will -be a -;minimum of two inches under the sidewalk and this will be sufficient with the small diameter steel being used to '= prevent damage. 6. lie went over -safety -requirements in the preconstruction con- ference --with the contractor. lie stated -very -emphatically that he would be- responsible for all pedestrian crossings and their safety. Many of the deficient crossings in -the area have been caused by the gas .and electric company and as they_leave-,the job, these blatent violations should cease. The City is responsible for ,prov ding traffic signs for the construction 'area -and the:contractoris responsible ,for barricading., lie -will -,take steps to make sure the site -is safe; ho;ever`there will be much confusion disruption because of the- extremely fast pace of the job. .;:Within these parameters,' however, -every attempt will ho made to mal c the job safe. :S H. v, 0 0 H. r =r rt? dm m ° m w <.n o M w y o r. - - - R n co µ N• - - n• _.o _.Y m r rD 7 H •� c� m o 0 H C 3 •-• Y 7 :j C C m n :- 7- µ C m rt .: M O'.H N�yy > ?

We have a number people c repeat classes: About the 98 ici`adult painting classes were senior citizens: 1. 30% of 20% the 153 in other adult classes were senior citizens. �yy 2. -About of 3, The amount of money received from adult arts and crafts registration paid i in 74-75 was approximately $3,000. -Senior Citizens probably. 1 about $750 of Chis amount. the 120 in adult swimming classes were senior citizens. 4.' About 20% of 5, The amount of - money received from adult swim classes for 74-75 paid f season was approximately -$480. Senior Citizens probably about $96. 6. The total received from senior citizens in all Park and Recreation to charge Department classes in 74-75 was about $847. If we were be about $759. . $1 only for these same numbers the=net loss would people might register. who could not afford the i 7.- Some additional Man full fee _thus reducing the net loss. Many classes;run under 1 maximum now. Please understand that our figures are estimates only since we do not register by age of adult participants. Further checking of class registration data indicates a much greater.: Park and t t ' enrollment of senior citizens`than was earlier reported to _the the Commission might i ; Recreation Commission. With this updated information 6/11/75. choose to re consider their action taken on This change, of course, is in conflict with the fee policy. `I would" "Both should pay suggest that policy 117• which states youths and adults and within any program. Consumable for specialized instruction materials for by the participant." include the.added materials -are 'generally paid be assessed --a token fee t, be established: statement "Senior Citizens will and will not be charged the full fee." U NL RECREATION DEPARTMENT June 9, 1975 TO: Bill Neppl and the Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Lee Bob S RE: Senior Citizens Class fees r, f I would like to recommend that the City adoptpolicy of charging a token fee ,a of $l ;to persons of retirement age _(60 years) to enroll in any Park and Recreation fi Department class rather than pay the full fee. , This suggested reduction is -following anational trend of actions involving all t fees for senior citizens. The Area 10 Agency on Aging of Kirkwood Community College S i --in its work with OREO_usea_a standard $1 rate for adult -education courses for the elderly and all Kirkwood Community education classes -are ope n to the elderly for $1. Our present fees for classes in site and crafts, which would probably be the l mostpopular with the elderly, range from $5 to $9 for ten (10) lessons.- Sometimes the. classes do not fill and this should help to increase the total enrollment. The 1974 receipts for crafts classes was $4132. The fees for swimming classes are $3.50 and $4.50 for 10 or 12 lessons and these too could many times be handled with greater enrollment. The total receipts for all swim classes in 1974 was $13 699. 7 e } 1 � i;_ At its meeting of April 9 1975, the Park and Recreation Commission recommended to the City Council that the fees charge for the ASERP Program for residents and non-residents be the same. At a subse- quent meeting held on May `28, 1975, the Commission made'a request to the City Manager for a Staff Report on the status of the ASERP fee situation. I have attached two memos, one -dated ,April 22,_1975, from Gene -Chubb -to me on the resident -non-resident ASERP fee, and one from Bob. Lee tome dated July 2,_1975, again on the ASERP non- resident fee. Both memos contain data indicating numbers of,possible` enrollees as well as resident -non-resident and bussed children: Also included in the July 2 memo from Mr. Lee are anticipated attendance figures -for children in each school along with anticipated gross -receipts from the fees received. The Fee and Charge Policy for the Parks and Recreation Department `'states -that, in -number -111 "non-residents are subject, to additional ; user charges because they do not pay property tax to :the City of Iowa City -on the -property upon.which;they are residing." The City Council, as well as the Parks and Recreation Department adminis- tration"has consistently followed this policy:„in regards to -non- resident fees Number 121, contained in the Fees and _Charges Policy, states that "unforseen circumstances and new activities and.facil- itateies added "unforto the system, as well as alterations in present'opera- tional procedures, may be added and classified under the appropriate policyat discretion of the Director of Parks and Recreation. The`Director-shall further have the responsibility of 'determining tivit or program whether or not a fee shall be levied for a new, ac Y on a two-year trial basis irregardless of policy in order to assess - the feasibility, of said activity and program.". The ASERP Program has already gone through a trial period, therefore, his last ,state went does -not render any; solution to the ASERP-situation.
