Item No. 20 - ADJOURNMENT.
Dear Mayor of Iowa City, Ia. and all concerned citizens who wish
to find a suitable spot for the new Greyhound Bus Depot,
As a citizen of Iowa City, Ia. for -more. -than twenty years and also
a member of a local church I wish to make it known I have what I
tiluk is a very suitable spot in mind. I wish to propose the site
for the new Greyhound Bus Depot on -the corner of Clinton and Jefferson,
the old St. Mary's School and Convent now being used by Isberg and
Center East, my reasons are as follows:
1. It is near the downtown area on a one way street going East.
2. There would be ample space for the buses to enter and leave in
the rear.
3. It is near the dormatories and across from the University Campus.
4. I think Mr. Spelman deserves the location proposal because he has
waited a long time and the City and the University would both
benefit from the Greyhound Depot remaining near downtown.
5. It would notc
enterfere with the traffic as Jefferson is East
i
and Market s Test.
6. It would not enterfere with Mercy Hospital Parking or any other
business in the area.

RE: Program Budgeting Outline (attached)
Attached hereto is a Program Budgeting OutlLne listing Recreation and
Park Programs and Services for your use in reviewing the proposed Park
and Recreation Budget for the'6 month time period of January through
June, 1975. Included in outlineand estimate form are:
a) Program title.
b) Simple program description of who, where and the nature of
the program.
Status Quo Direction. No basic program changes are recommended in this
proposal. Because of the size and age of the Iowa City Park and Recre-
ation Department,' its programis, .facilities and budget► any Program
change will have a rather small effect upon total Department costs.
Where program adjustments are recommended, they are enumerated. Where
specific requests or reoammendations have been heard, they have been
incorporated where possible.
Salaries. for public agencies have undergone increases due to murmlmm
wage and hour changes. .
summer programs which may appear missing'from this proposal may appear
so because of a lack of expenditures during this budget period.
Mr. Kraft will attend the special meeting of September 25 at the Davis
Building at 5:30 p.m.

COMdENTARY
In the Budget of the City of Iowa City, the Park Division and Cemetery Divisions
arra ocnbined into a single Park Budget: This function is therefore responsible
for maintaining and operating the City's public parks, malls and open spaces as
well as for the Forestry programs within the City, The Park and Cemetery crews
maintain .lawns and plantings. at 26 public park- areas,. downtown lots, minipatics,
most public buildings and grounds, and many sidewalks and roadsides.
The Forestry Division services all street and public tree planning, planting,
trimming and removals and performs Weed Inspector duties for the City. Cemetery
and Park crews trim most public trees less than 6" in size with larger work being
done by contractors.,
Higher cost, in 1975 reflect more developed parks, increased downtown lots and
landscaping, and higher costs in forestry items,

PARK OPERATICN PROGRAM
JANUARYJUNE,
1. GENERAL MAINTWONCE. These practices are projected to continue on an
approximate status quo basis since the number of full-time employees
remains constant. Part-time summer employees will remain constant ex-
cept for the addition of one man in the Urban Renewal area. Larger
areas within the system will offset any improved efficiencies.
2. DOWN CWN. Miniparks and flower beds now need the services of one seasonal
full-time "resident" employee in addition to the crew services rendered
to date by traveling crews. This would assist in preventing the wilting
of flowers and shrubs and permit more satisfactory weeding. It would
not free help as assigned in 1974, but would take care of additional work
loads and eliminate part of our unsightly appearance which accumulated
during the, summer of 1974.
3. Z0O-NATURALIST SERVICES.. These provide an enjoyable zoo visit and ocn-
tribute to the better understanding of nature through the presentation
of animals for observation and educational programming through guided
zoo and outdoor tours and lectures. Staff time is projected at 70 hours
per week to provide for care of t the approximate number of animals on
hand and slightly improved cage identification systems. No basic zoo
facility improvements areanticipated,..but we would hope for some ad-
ditional naturalist services for groups away from the zoo for which there
seems to be an increasing demand (100 groups in 1974).
4. PARK SECURITY AND RANGER SERVICES. This is a major conoern area for the
Director who feels :that staff contact persons are necessary during most
peak holidays and summer days. This seasonal work (60 hours/wk, summer)
guides the public in the use of the facilities through personal contact
and eliminates many problems through suggestive or corrective actions.
This work improves the safety and sanitation of the parks, playgrounds,
and open spaces and secures facilities each evening.
5. FORESTRY SERVICES. Included in the Park Division Budget, in the spring
of 1975 are the removal of 50 dangerous trees, the trimming of 400 trees
in the north section of town and the planting. of 1,100 trees, of which
150 will be in the -parks., Planting is included as outlined in the C.I.P.
E
New trees in the parks (150) are included in the Public Planting Item.
(C.I.P. $30,000)
Raising the sidewalk in front of the City Park restroom is included in
the Budget Services Item.
Enlarging the Little League parking area is included in the Supplies Item
(gravel). This could be east, west or north of the diamonds.
Trees are the only item in the Capital Improvanent Program which is in-
cluded in the FY75 Budget.
C.I.P. items listed separately in addition to trees include:
South Side Acquisition ($50,000) Negotiating
East Side Acquisition ($70,000) Under Study
River Acquisition ($150,000) Negotiating
Rec Center Planning($15,000)

The meeting began with a discussion of the Commission on Environ-
mental Quality's proposed open burning ordinance and Article 27
40 of the existing fire code of Iowa City. Robert Keating, Fire
Chief of the Iowa City Fire Department, was present to discuss
Article 27 of the fire code and to answer any questions Commis-
sion members had concerning it. The proposed ordinance had been
brought before the.Iowa City City Council who inturn had sent the
ordance to the fire department for they were not sure whether
the Commission on Environmental Quality was aware of Article 27 of
the fire code.
Arthur Vetter commented that the primary difference between the
Commission"s proposed open burning ordinance and Article 27 of
the existing fire code was one of intent. Where as, the fire
code permits open burning with a permit except under certain
conditions the proposed ordinance states that fires are prohibited
with the following exceptions. Roger Boldt made a motion that the
Commission should still support the ordinance and should resubmit
it to the City Council with emphasis on its differences. Arthur
Vetter then moved to modify the motion to include that part of the
regular duties of the policedepartment would be to observe il-
legal open burning. After -further discussion, Roger Boldt moved
to withdraw the earlier motion and as a substitute motion he
recommended that the subcommittee be reformed for careful search-
ing of Article 27,of the uniform fire code, to find the exact
section the proposed ordinance should replace. })e further
11
recommended trat'the subcommittee meet with Bob Keating; in
regards to the wording of the ,ordinance and then said ordinance
® be resubmitted to this commission at its next meeting. A vote
was taken and the motion carried
C�
CJ
The Commission received a letter from John W. Hayek in regards
to his review of the proposed noise ordinance. Skip Laitner
challenged Mr. Hayek's statement that the noise officer would
need considerable qualifications in the engineering and related
areas, for he felt that the Environmental Protection Agency had
demonstrated that the required noise monitoring equipment could
be run by a person with minimal training. The Commission also
felt that the ordinance had implied that the officers of the
Environmental Protection Office would be under the direction of
the City Manager.
Discussion followed concerning the comments by Iowa -Illinois
Gas and Electric Company in regards to the noise ordinance. The
Commission felt that the Company's request that existing noise
sources not presently subject to numerous complaints be exempted
from the ordinance, was not unreasonable and that such a section
be incorporated into the ordinance.
After further discussion, it was decided that the latest draft
of the proposed noise ordinance with comments by.John W. Hayak
and Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric Company be sent to the City
Council for review. ;A letter accompaning these documents also
be sent requesting a meeting with the City Council to discuss
the ordinance and comments.
It was also suggested that contact should be made with the
Environmental Protection Agency to see if they would be willing
to attend the commission's meeting with the City Council.
Discussion followed concerning the letter received from the
Office for Planning and`Prggramming. The above mentioned letter
was intended to be a,request fot proposal for a grant which OPP
is contemplating regarding the establishment of a coordinator
for Voluntary Recycling.,Centers in a particular region. The
Commission was informed that it could not submit a proposal direct-
ly to OPP, but must submit -the proposal before the Executive Board
of the Johnson County.Regional_Planning Commission for approval,
and if approved the Executive Board would then submit to OPP on
behalf or CEQ. Skip Laitnen agreed to draft such a proposal
under the guidelines set down by OPP.
A brief discussion ensued concerning
Protection Officer(s) position. Mr.

Dear Sirs:
I respectfully request a reexamination and hopefully a change
of certain zoning restrictions which presently penalize some
property owners in multiple -zoned areas and do not serve the
intended purpose of preserving the character and charm of the
neighborhoods in the old part of Iowa City but rather serve the
opposite purpose of degenerating the old neighborhoods.
Let me say first that I am not against apartments and I fully
realized when I moved into my present neighborhood 6 years ago that
it had been R3B for a number of years. I would prefer to see the
older homes converted to apartments, thus keeping the original
character of the neighborhoods from the exterior rather than seeing
houses torn down to putup newer 6,9, or 12 plexes. I have no
qualms with the square footage restriction requirement needed for
each unit (e.g. 750 ft2 per unit for R3B and 1,000 ft2 for R3A)
nor do I have a complaint with the required 1 1/2 parking spaces
off street to the rear or side of any building per rental unit.
The following lot restrictions, however, penalize certain
property owners and serve to devalue our property in this period
of inflation.
1) Minimum lot size for multiple family use is 5,000 ft2
2) Minimum lot frontage must be 40 ft.
3) The house must sit at least 20 ft. from the front lot line,
25 ft. from the rear lot line, and 5 ft. from each side
lot line.
These restrictions should be deleated as they serve no useful
purpose other than devaluating the property. Most of the older
homes in the North end were built at about 10-15 ft to the front
lot line, many lots in the middle of the blocks are 40 ft in width
by 150 feet deep, and many corner lots had the back 75 ft. sold
off many years ago.
I can see the new rules applied to areas now zoned Rl or R 2
which are now being changed to R3 or R3A or R3B, however, to
make such stipulations on property located in areas zoned R3A or
R3B 20 or more years ago merely means that a particular parcel
is in reality spot zoned R1A in a block of apartments.
As an example of the problem I can use my 98 year old house,
however, many others are in similar situations. The lot is 6S ft.X
75ft. and the house sits 12 ft to the front line 12 feet to the
rear line and from 10-12 ft. to each side line. The house could
easily be converted to a duplex with 5 rooms on each floor and 4
parking spaces to the rear of the house. If this were permissible
I could ask $35,000 for the house and at the same time its
exterior would appear as it does today and add to the charm of the
ucignoornooa. unaer the current restrictions the house could only
be sold for $18,000 as a single.family house in a block of
apartments. A developer would most likely buy the house and one
or more adjacent to it then tear all three down to put up a
4 or 6 plex.
The two-year lapse of use restriction for non-conforming use
also penalizes those who purchase a multiple-use house and convert
it to single family use. For instance my house had been a rooming
house for 40 years - if I had continued that use and made no
improvements or repairs for the past 6 years I could today sell
the house for at least $35,000. However, I restored the house to
a single family dwelling, spent at least $10,000 on it and it has
as a result been devalued to $18,000.
I would urge you to consider such a rule that if a house in an
R3A or R3B area was converted to single family use that its
multiple use classificationbe maintained for sale purposes even
though it were used for a nycmber of years as a single family unit.
Hopefully this would encougage a better mixture of families and
apartment dwellers in the area near the University. Currently
most intelligent families are selling as quickly as possible and
fleeing to the edges of town. I like living close in but will be
forced to move to the edge of town because of the lossin equity
and devaluation of the property.
By changing the ordinance as I have suggested:
1) The developing of more large new apartment buildings
in the old part of town would be slowed down as cheap
devalued property would no longer be available.
2) A single family property owner in the old part of
town would have the same opportunity for his equity
to increase as does the owner in new parts of town.
3) The neighborhoods would retain their character and
charm and
4) No property would decrease in value during this
period of inflation unless it were purposely allowed
to deteriorate.

I have previously written to you on behalf of my clients, Laurence Short,

delay in re -zoning their property to permit the construction of 108 apartment
units upon a certain tract of land located immediately south of Forest View
Trailer Court. Along with the re -zoning, there has apparently been some
instruction issued to direct Planning and Zoning to reconsider this particular
property with a view of amending the zoning ordered by judge Shaeffer.
The purpose of this letter is to indicate that your action is extremely
detrimental to the acquisition of financing. Once more this entire matter
is "up in the air" and it my opinion that until the zoning is finally resolved

The Iowa City/Coralville Reservoir bikeway project is now completed.
Joggers; tricyclists, and young mothers with baby carriages use it

lunch and your bicycle; we'll picnic from 12:30 to 1:30, and then bike
down the trail.
Your financial support has helped build this trail, and I hope you can
come and share it with us!

SPECIAL POPULATIONS MWOLVE= PROGRAM (S.P.I.)
Tjhe Special Populations Involvement Program (S.P.I.) is a pilot project
based on a survey conducted during June and July, 1974. (See appendices)
A sample population of tUjo hundred handicapped individuals was deter-
mined by the investigators. With approximately one hundred su�r-veys
returned, the need for recreational services to handicapped individuals
in Iowa City was established. The survey focused on determining the
past and current involverrent of handicapped individuals in recreational
activities. In addition, much demographic data was collected on the
sample population. The recreational needs of this group were identified
and analyzed. The findings indicate a definite lack of involvement and
knowledge of recreation and leisure resources.
As a result of the survey findings, it was decided in late July that
a proposal for a community based recreation program for special popu-
lations should be developed and submitted to the Director of Parks and
Recreation for preliminary review.(See Program Proposal).
As a pilot project, Special Populations Involveirent is a tentative pro-
gram addition to current recreational services provided by luaa City
Park and Recreation Department. It is intended to provide recreation_
services to a segment of our population that currently are not receiving
services. The program.goals and consumer goals have been identified
in the proposed program. (See Program Proposal)
The program will be coordinated by Dr. David Compton, Assistant Pro-
fessor at the University of Iowa's Recreation Education Program and
project coordinator of the USOE/BEH Training Grant. Direr supervision
of S.P.I. will be provided by two USOE/BEH graduate students, Carol
Stensrud and T:yla Misselhorn. Volunteer personnel will be provided by
undergraduate therapeutic recreation classes and related disciplines
at the University of Iowa. Dr. Compton will report directly to Mr. Lee,
Superintendent of City Recreation, on all matters concerning the program.
The Iowa City Park and Recreation Department is primarily responsible
for provision of facilities. The University of Iowa Recreation Educa-
tion Program and the USOE/BEH Training Grant will be res�ponsible for
providing personnel. Donations and contributions will be sought from
rehabilitation agencies and other benefactors to provide equipment and
supplies for the program.
Handicapped individuals Drill be sought from rehabilitation agencies,
parent organizations, institutions, and the oomLunity at large. It is
anticipated in the first year of the project that S.P.I. will service
15-20 children and 15-20 adults.
September 30, 1974 is the tentative date for starting the program.
This is subject to the approval of the City Council and the Parks and
Recreation Conmussion.
August, 1974
- a t
The proposal for this pilot project, designed to provide recreation
services for the handicapped, calls for City participation essentially
in the provision of physical facilities; namely the Recreation Center.
The nine (9) different categories of handicapped persons to whom the
program is directed consists of mentally retarded, physically and
multi handicapped,• deaf,and hearing impaired, the aged, blind and visual-
ly impaired , mentally ill, alcoholics and addicts, economically dis-
advantaged, and adult and youth offenders/problem youth.
The project is one of the University of Iowa's Recreation Education
Program (see "abstract" attached) but at all t-mes will be approved
and coordinated by the staff of the City Park and Recreation Depart-
ment.
The proposed program would begin on October 7 and continue during the
school year with non -nal vacation and sen ebreaks. The participants
mester
would be divided into two (2) major age groupings: one for children
through high school and the other for adults including senior citizens.
The children would ireet in the Center three (3) times weekly, M w F
afternoons from 3-5 p.m. The adults would meet in the Center twig
weekly, M and F evenings, from 7-9 p.m. (see page 12 Proposed Program)•
occasional weekend activities Saturday morning from 9:30-11:30 would
meet at the Center and possibly go elsewhere ( see page 12). There
is a possibility of a once per month evening activity. All space pro-
blems have been cleared with the Superintendent of Recreation to avoid
conflicts. It is also planned that integration with other public uses
Of the Center are desirable.
Samms ple program are quite appropriate and are listed on pages 15-18.
The plan calls for serving 30-40 people the first year and gradully
expanding to 200-250 in the fifth year (see page 10).
All personnel would be provided by the University of Iowa.
The proposed budget for the first year is for a total expenditure of
$3,015. The City in addition to, space would be asked to contribute a
ncriinal ar►ount of $17 for the year in the form of materials and supplies.
The projected expenditures for a five-year period are clearly outlined
in the Proposed Program accoapanying this Fact Sheet (see pages 19-24).

ABSTRACT
This study was undertaken to assess the recreational needs
and involvement of special populations in Iowa City. From this study
it was hoped that the necessary supportive data would be available
to justify a program for special populations.
The project staff surveyed two hundred (200) various individual
members of special.populations in nine (9) different categories in the
community and residing in various collective centers in Iowa City.
The purpose of this survey was to assess their participation and
interest in recreational activities. The project staff also sent
questionnaires to all supporting agencies in Iowa City to determine
their interest in and support for a community based recreation program.
A list of all physical recreational resources in Iowa City was also
obtained which could be used by such a program.
After the survey tabulations had been completed it was noted
that there is a definite need for and interest in a community based
recreation program for special populations in Iowa City. Survey
participants felt that recreation is a vital part of their life
(88.76%) but that their needs are not currently being met (47.62%).
Respondents also indicated that the Iowa City Recreation Center
would be an appropriate place for them to attend (86.75%).
Approximately fifty per cent (So-.) of the agencies returned
their questionnaires. Ninety-eight (98%) per cent indicated their
support in establishing a community based recreation program for
special populations. Several agencies also offered to assist in
the program development in any way that they could.

In May, 1974 a study was undertaken by the Recreation Education Program
of the University of Iowa to determine the need for a community based rec-
reation program, in Iowa City for special populations. The study consisted
of surveying special populations (i.e.) mentally retarded, physically and
multi -handicapped, deaf and hearing impaired, the aged, blind and visually
impaired, mentally ill, alcoholics and addicts, economically disadvantaged,
and adult and youth offenders/problem youth, to determine their participation
and interest in recreational activities and their support for a community
based recreation program. The project staff compiled and tabulated all sur-
vey data and prepared it for presentation to the Director, Superintendent and
the Recreation Commission of the Iowa City Park and Recreation Commission for
approval.
Questionnaires were also sent out to various agencies in Iowa City which
provided services, directly or indirectly to special populations. These quest-
ionnaires identified agencies which would be willing to provide support for
the community based recreation program. If the results of the study are
acceptable to the Park and Recreation Commission, the staff will begin designing
a sample program to be_iniatiated in the Fall of 1974.
Programs will be provided for as many of the city's special populations
as possible. Those served will be determined by an advisory committee, com-
prised of the Iowa City Park and Recreation Director, agency directors, and
special populations consumers in the Iowa City area.
Funds, public support, and equipment will be solicited or acquired to
assist in the program operation as necessary. Funds will be obtained from
Federal, public, and private sources. It is anticipated that the necessary
equipment and supplies will be donated, purchased, or shared with other
facilities. Activities will be offered in all program areas so the individuals
will be able to broaden their knowledge, skills, and interests in various
leisure time pursuits, thereby enhancing their quality of life.
Once the program has been established, a tentative yearly operational
budget will be drawn up. Program administration and supervision will be
provided from the Recreation Education Program, i.e. U.S.O.E./B.E.H. graduate
students. Leadership will probably be provided by volunteer students , parents,
and students from Therapeutic Recreation Classes.
An evaluation instrument will be prepared so that the program can be
evaluated at the end of its temporary operational period.

The majority of respondents seem to have attained some degree
of a high school education. Less than 25% of the respondents attained
a higher level than seventh grade. Less than 50% of the respondents
attained a level of eleventh grade or less. Approximately 25%
completed high school and the remaining 25% have more than a high
school education, i.e., college, vocational school.
No account was made of those enrolled in special education classes.

The majority of our respondents (60.69%) are students,
housewives, unemployed, retired, working in sheltered employment,
or are unemployable. It appears that our population is in a lower
income bracket and would probably spend less on recreation than the
average person. It appears that program costs should be kept to a
minimum or that they be free of charge in order to stay within the
purchasing power of special populations.

The largest area in housing is collective centers. It would
appear that the large number of respondents from collective centers stems
from policies of certain agencies which were reluctant to provide
names of persons in the community due to confidentiality. Also, many
members of special populations, especially the elderly and mentally
retarded, are now living in these collective centers in the community
as opposed to the large displaced institution. Another very large
segment of our population is not living in a normal family situation.
Not including collective centers, we find that 25.28% are living
alone, with relatives, with friends, in Mark IV apartments, or in a
boarding situation.

Over half of the respondents (52.33%) are presently
engaging in recreational activities. It appears that a large
percentage of these individuals are receiving services from various
agencies because they live at the agency or are out-patients with
that agency.
Approximately 25% of the participants are participating
in agency sponsored recreational programs. Approximately 30%
(29.34%) of the participants are participating in community
recreational programs. This means that 71.66% of our
respondents are not engaging in recreation in the community.

A very large percentage of our respondents (47.13%)
engage in church sponsored activities. Such types of activities
would include services and pot lucks. Although church activities
are an outlet for social and spiritual upliftment, they do not
provide training in play or recreation skills.

At the present time it appears there is a high degree of
involvement in recreational activities. When one compares this
participation percentage to the participation and interest
responses given to the listed activities in Question #16, we find
a discrepency in participation levels. Participation and interest are
extremely low for all activities in Question #16. Thus, we can
assume that even though a majority of respondents participate in
recreational activities three or more times per week for a period
of 1-2 hours, the activities in which our respondents engage are
bland, sedentary type activities.

Friends and agencies appear to be the major media sources
for participants to get information on recreation programs. Agencies
would be an excellent means of spreading the word about activities
because they have the backing of the community and are serving many
of our respondents at the present time.

Participants spend very little on recreation at the present
time - 55.29% spend less than $1.00/week and 14.12% spend less than
12.50/week. This would seem to indicate that the participants are
economically unable to spend any more than this. In Question #6, it
was noted that the respondents have a very low income. Our
participants' low income is consistent with the amount spend on
recreation. This small amount spent on recreation may attest to the
fact that institutions provide many of these services for free.
Question 13: Would you spend more money on recreation if you had
a small additional income? Yes . No
N = 88
Income Respondents %
Yes 59 67,05
No 29 32.95
More than two-thirds(67.05%) of the respondents indicated
that they would spend more money on recreation if they had a small
additional income. This may indicate that people are interested in
participating in recreation and would do so if economically feasible.
N = 89
Vital Respondents %
Yes 79 88.76
No 10 11.24
Approximately eighty-nine per cent (88.76%) of the
respondents indicated, that recreation is a vital part of their
life. Since only 52% are engaging in recreational activities now
(Question 8), 36% of the respondents feel that recreation is a vital
part of their life but are not participating in activities at this
time. Thisappearsto be one area in which we have to make some
progress. One-third of our respondents are not receiving the
recreation to which they are entitled or want. These individuals
must become involved in some type of recreational programs.
Question 15: Do you feel that your recreational needs are
currently being met? Yes No
If yes, by what agency?
If no, please explain.
N = 84
Needs Respondents
Yes 44 52.38
No 40 47.62
If yes, by what agency: Oaknoll, Johnson County Home, Hospital
School, Goodwill, Iowa City Care Center, Psychopathic Hospital,
Country Club, Iowa City Recreation Center, VA Hospital, Girls'
Group Home, Youth Emergency Shelter, friends.
- 16 -
A majority of the respondents (52.38%) feel their
recreational needs are being met. Most of those who said yes
indicated their needs are being met by structured agencies. This
shows that the 47.62% not receiving adequate services come from
outside structured, community agencies. They most likely live in
the community and do not have a structured program in which to
participate. This once again reinforces the need for a community
based recreation program.

The majority of .activities now participated in fall
into two categories - sports and slow living. An attempt should be
made in program development so that all program areas are represented
by various activities.
The majority of activities in which survey participants
indicated an interest fall in the easy living category. Some interest
is also shown in the ego recognition and adventure categories. It
appears that the high correlation between the slow living and easy
living categories is due to two factors. One is that if people are
current y participating in an activity they usually have an interest
in that activity. Another reason is that if people are unfamiliar
with an activity -they are reluctant to participate in that activity,
thus exhibiting a low interest level in that activity.

Question #14 and #15.
A comparison was made between the respondents in Question #10
who indicated that they participated in recreational activities and
if they felt that recreation played a vital part in their lives.
(Question #14) Sixty-six (66) responded "yes" to Question 010 and of
those 66, only five (5) indicated that they did not feel that recreation
was a vital part of their life.
In comparing the "yes" respondents in Question #10 with Question
#15, the results show that twenty-eight (28) of the respondents felt
that their recreational needs were not being met.
It appears that the individuals now participating in recreational
activities feel that recreation is a very important part of their
life. Approximately half of the respondants feel that their recreational
needs are not being met. This indicates that approximately 50% of our
respondetnts are not receiving the recreational and leisure time services
which are essential to their growth and development. The above figures
demonstrate the "Need for a Community Based Recreational Programs for
Special Populations".
Comparison of "No" Respondents in Question #10 with Question #14 and #15.
Twenty-two (22) respondents indicated that they were not currently
participating in recreational programs. Of these 22 responde=nts, 16
felt that recreation was a vital part of their life. Also, of the 22
respondents, 13 felt that their recreational needs were not currently
being fulfilled.
It appears that the majority of individuals currently not part-
icipating in recreational activities feel that recreation is an import-
ant part of their life. A majority also feel that their recreational
needs are not being met. This indicates that the respondents who are
currently not participating in recreational activities do in fact con-
sider leisure time activities and recreation as a vital component of
their life style.
These statistics indicate.that the respondents are supportative
of additional leisure time and recreational opportunities.

activities. Programs should definitely be developed or expanded upon
in these areas. At the same time, other activities should be
developed so that individuals are exposed to more areas and can
increase their knowledge and skills of recreational activities.

There is a definite dislike of sports in the activities
which are least liked. This could be due partly to the fact that
we have become saturated with sports on television and that sports
are usually considered the best and only means of recreation.
Our program should attempt to balance the activities in all program
areas.
- 36 -
Slightly more than seventy-six per cent (76.83%) of the
respondents said they would participate in a community based
recreation program for special populations. It appears that we
have consumer support for this project, although the total favorable
percentage could be somewhat higher.

According to the survey respondents, 52.63% indicated
that evenings would be the best time for them to engage in
recreational activities. It appears that this percentage
could be due to the fact that respondents work, go to school,
or are engaged in other activities during the day. Some type of
afternoon program could also be developed, if feasible, because
30% of the respondents indicated that afternoons would be a
good time for them to participate in recreational activities.

Type Respondents %
Individual 19 20.43
Small Group 58 62.37
Large Group 16 17.20
Small group activities received the strongest support
(62.37%). This appears to be due in part to the fact that many of
our survey respondents have had little opportunity for outside
social interaction, especially those living in collective centers,
and they are somewhat afraid to interact with large numbers of
people. Also, a stronger bond of friendship and support can be
developed in a small group than in a large group due to the number
of people involved.

activities with your family if it is feasible? Yes No

N = 79
Participation Respondents %
Yes 56 70.89
No 23 29.11
Participating in recreational activities with family
members received a very large favorable response. This correlates
somewhat to small group participation, because, in essence, the
family is'a small group. It also appears that the entire family
could benefit from participating together because a greater
number of individuals can be exposed to recreational activities.

Two problems, of equal importance, encountered by the
respondents in their attempt to engage in recreational activities
were transportation and cost(31.88% and 30.43% respectively).
Another problem of some proportion is that of social barriers
(18.12%)
Thus, it appears that some type of transportation
system will have to be initiated - either car pools or possibly
a center vehicle. Costs again must be kept to a minimum and
attempts should be made not to assess a fee unless absolutely
necessary. Also, it appears that there must be some form of
public education. This must be aimed at making the community
aware of their special populations and how they can and should be
allowed to participate in community activities. The "special
populations" must also be educated so as to breakdown or dispel
some of their stereotypes about the community.

Transportation Respondents o
Yes 61 71.76
No 24 28.24
The data shows that 71.76% of the respondents have some
means of transportation. This high percentage could possibly be
due to the fact that agencies or families of the participants
drive them. These statistics also correlate between Question #26
and Question #27. In Question #26, thirty-one per cent(31.88%)
of the respondents indicated that they had no means of transportation.
Question #27 shows that 71.76% of the respondents have some means of
transportation. When added, these two percentages add up to just
over 100%.

The largest mode of transportation employed by our
participants is automotive vehicles - bus, car, agency vehicles -
(63.17%) The next largest mode of transportation is walking
(28.42%). This is another reason why the favorable response
in Question #27 was so high. Many of our participants walk.
* Additional Category
1. The average age of the population surveyed is 34.93 years old
and the median age was 30.50 years.
2. Survey respondents were approximately equally divided between the
sexes: males (47.67%) and females (52.33%)
3. The population surveyed has an average or slightly higher amount
of formal education. Fifty per cent (50%) of the population have
a high school diploma or higher.
4. Approximately 75% of the respondents are single.
S. Approximately 60% of the respondents are in the lower income
brackets, with annual incomes of less than $2000.00.
6. Forty-five per cent (45%) of the respondents have no annual
income at all.
7. Approximately 70% of the respondents are not living in a
"normal";family situation. A large percentage (42.86%) of the
respondents are living in collective centers.
8. Approximately 72% (71.66%) of the respondents are not currently
participating in any community or public recreation programs.
9. Approximately forty-eight per cent (47.13%) of the respondents
are currently participating in church sponsored activities.
10. The highest percentage of participation by the respondents is
provided by agencies or collective living centers in a segmented
manner. In other words, there is no consistent program
concerning recreational activities.
11. Service agencies and friends of the respondents provide the
information and means for participation in most recreational
activities.
12. Approximately fifty-six per cent (55.29%) of the participants
spend less than $1.00/week on recreational activities and 14.12%
spend less than $2.50/week on recreational activities.
13. Respondents would spend more money on recreational pursuits if
they had a small additional income. The respondents indicated
their interest in recreational activities and would increase
their level of participation if economically feasible.
14. A large majority of the respondents(88.76%) feel that
recreation is a vital part of their life.
- 45 -
15. Approximately forty-eight per cent(47.62%) of the respondents
feel that their recreational needs are not being met. Those
receiving adequate services indicate that their needs are
being met through structured programs provided by service
agencies in the community.
16. There is a strong correlation between the activities participated
in and those in which a high interest was shown. Twelve (12)
of the activities currently participated in are also found
in the top 15 activities of the high interest list.
Slow living and easy living activities are the most popular
of all activities.
17. Approximately seventy-seven per cent(76.83%) of the
respondents indicated that they would participate in a community
based recreation program for special populations. This
indicates consumer support for this project.
18. Respondents have favorably indicated (86.75%) that the Iowa
City Recreation Center would be the most favorable place
in which to develop the program.
19. Costs must be kept to a minimum, and if at all possible
activities should be free, because the majority of our
participants are in the lower income brackets.
20. Saturday and Sunday evenings (7-9:30 p.m. ) would be the
best times in which to hold program activities. Afternoons
(2-5 p.m.) also received strong support and if the funds,
equipment, and facilities were available this would also be
a favorable time in which to develop programs.
21. Activities should be held in a small group format.
22. Family activities should be offered.
23. Transportation and costs are the participants' two biggest
problems. Some type of transportation system must be
developed and an available source of funds secured so that
individuals unable to pay for programs will still be able to
participate in them. Special populations must also be
integrated into community activities so as to lessen the
social barriers now existing between them.
1. That the program be established by September 15th and continue
for a one year period at which time it will be evaluated by
the Advisory Committee.
2. An Advisory Committee should be established which will select
the populations this project will serve in its first year
of operation.This committee shall be comprised of the
Iowa City Park and Recreation Director, Recreation Education
Program personnel, agency directors, and special populations
consumers and will serve as the project's governing body.
3. That the program be designed to widen the leisure life styles
of the participants. Based on the findings that the survey
respondents have very limited involvement in recreational
activities and limited resources available to them, it is
recommended that a community based demonstration program be
established to meet the needs of existing special populations
in Iowa City.
4. That support be forth coming from the Iowa City Park and
Recreation Commission and administration and related human
"" services agencies.
5. A good working relationship should be established between the
churches and service agencies in Iowa City. Both have contact
with special populations in Iowa City and they could serve as
a media for informing individuals of the recreational programs
available to them.
6. Programs should be free of charge.
7. Activities should be offered in all program areas so that
participants can broaden their skills in and knowledge of
recreational activities.
8. The program should be aimedat serving those individuals
living in the community who are not receiving any agency
or community services at this time, but should not exclude
those who reside in collective living centers and institutions
who are in the process of returning to the community.
9. Programs should emanate at the Iowa City Recreation Center
and promote utilization and normalization of existing
community facilities.
10. Small groups should serve as the main activity format and
participants should be integrated into community activities
whenever possible.
-47-
i
13. A transportation system should be developed so that participants
can come to the recreation center. Car pools, use of existing
mass transit, and mini transit systems, i.e., S.E.A.T.S. are
possible transportation sources.
14. That the Iowa City Park and Recreation administrators accept
this report as submitted and provide written approval for
the project committee to develop a sample program which will
be presented on or before July 26th for their approval.
Approval of the sample program would constitute an agreement
to provide special populations programs for fall and spring
1974-75 by the project committee.

What justification is there for providing equal recreational
services by public agencies to those who are disabled, disadvantaged,
or have deficits or dysfunctions?
It is becoming increasingly clear that the provision of
wholesome opportunities for the satisfaction of leisure needs of
special populations is an essential ingredient to good individual
and community health. Special populations do exist within our
community and are entitled to leisure opportunities that can give a
feeling of worth and a measure of fulfillment to their lives.
(Stein & Sessoms, 1973, pp. 10-11.)
It is the community's responsibility to see that these needs are
met for several reasons. Special populations, like all people,
have the right to self-expression, social involvement, and creative
expression. First, and foremost, those suffering from the 4 D's
are human beingsl They and their families are taxpayers and thus,
are entitled to all services rendered by public agencies. The
"credo" of the American Recreation Society supports this belief and
sites the obligation of professional
ideal.
recreators in fulfilling this
"That recreation is of, and for, all the people; and
that therefore the purpose of (this) profession should be
to administer Recreation as a public trust, so as to
multiply opportunities for happiness regardless of age,
race, sex, creed, or condition in life." (Kraus, 1973, pp. 30-31)
Secondly, many of the so called "normal" aspects of life, i.e.,
marriage, college, jobs, are closed to those suffering from the
4 D's. Thus, recreational services are needed to fill a void in the
- 1 -
lives of these people. Public services provide an opportunity
for socialization between the four D's and the able -bodies of the
community. Much self-confidence and self-worth are attained when
the four D's are allowed to compete or work with the "normal"
members of the community.
A structured community based recreation program also provides
a bridge from institutional programs where leadership is abundant,
to integrated community programs where leadership is not often
present. Oftentimes individuals returning to the community have
either been ignored or they have been offered a segregated program
that continues to separate and isolate them from the community.
(Stein & Sessoms,,1973)
Recreation can serve as one vehicle for the societal integration
of these individuals. Just as "normal" individuals in society have
a variety of differences, the same is true of special populations.
These individuals do not exhibit the same characteristics as everyone
else in their group. It should be recognized that in all cases the
individuals with whom we are concerned exhibit characteristics that
are more similar to, rather than different from the remainder of
society. This alikeness leads to the contention that perpetual
segregation of recreation experiences based solely on the criteria
of age, physical or mental disability, race, or socioeconomic level
is both unfortunate and extremely limiting to any person. A more
useful approach, it seems, would be to base such entry into
recreational program opportunities on the criteria of intent,
experience, functional capacity, and skill level. Granted, in some
special populations there are a few people who may always require

a sheltered program. But too often this determination is based on the
stereotyped notion that all people in a given special population are
able to function at the same level of competency. (Stein f, Sessoms, p. 17)
The major stumbling block in achieving equal services is due to
the prejudices and stereotypes held by the members of our society.
Much recreative deprivation of the disabled is, however, caused by
the reluctance of society to permit them to engage in activity to the
extent of their real potential. Sometimes communities or recreation
agencies do not make the kinds of adaptations in the design of
facilities needed for disabled persons to use them freely. Sometimes
recreational and park agencies actively bar disabled persons from
their programs because they feel that to serve them would require
specialized leadership to a degree they could not afford.
Those.who suffer from a severe physical disability or crippling
deformity are acutely aware of the reactions of others, the threat
of social isolation and the direct limitations that are imposed, in
terms of one's capability for full and varied social involvement.
Wright points out that while physical limitations themselves may
cause frustration or suffering, the more serious deprivation comes
from the attitudes of others:
"One of man's basic strivings is for acceptance by
the group, for being important in the lives of others,
and for having others count positively in his life. As
long as physical disability is linked with shame and
inferiority, realistic acceptance of one's position and
one's self is precluded." (Wright)
The task of gaining acceptance for the disabled in
community settings is primarily a matter of helping the public come
to grips with its own attitudes about the disabled, and to perceive
- 3 -
them in a more accurate light. It is extremely important that our
attitudes in general about the disabled be based on an intellectual
comprehension of their needs and capabilities rather than on
stereotyped and distorted attitudes. (Kraus, 1973, p. 31)
If persons suffering from the four D's are not afforded equal
services, then it seems to me that we are denying them the right to
be classed a human. Do we have the right to make such judgements?
'ice
The development of a person's highest human potential is the
ultimate aim for which we all strive. For those suffering from one of
the four D's, this aim is very difficult to achieve. Recreation can
provide some much needed assistance in developing the four D's
highest human potential.
Recreation helps to achieve human potential for the four D's
in a multitude of ways. Physical prowness is attained by the provision
of outlets in which a person can participate in interesting and
vigorous physical activities. "The necessity of physical activity
to the individual's total growth - including his mental capacities - is
a universal life requirement." (Frye & Peters, 1972, p. 92)
A person's highest potential for learning can also be developed
by experiences which are recreational in nature. The self motivation
a person brings with him when engaging in a physical activity, plus
the awareness and sensitivity accompanying a pleasurable experience,
are cited as major factors in the potency of recreation as an avenue
for learning. (Frye $ Peters, 1972, p. 85)
Another way of effectively using recreation in attaining human
potential is among the economically and socially disadvantaged. Every
possible resource must be mustered together in order to alleviate
racial tensions, crime, and delinquency. If one area of needs deals
with communicating, sharing, and undertaking life-styles and value
systems, recreation should have much to offer. Recreation can
provide an "avenue for harmonious, pleasurable communication, sharing,
- 5 -
and learning. (Frye & Peters, pp. 96-97)
Human potential is also gained through the self -realization of
oneself as an individual, a distinct entity. Menninger points out the
importance of body -image in one's self -conception. To those whose
body is other than normal, they have oftentimes developed a distorted
self-concept, which retards the true self -realization of the person -
self -alienation resulting. Leisure activities in unobligated time
provide a good frame of reference for seeing oneself as one truly is.
(Frye & Peters, p. 101) The recreator is able to assist an
individual by adapting the movements of a game to the abilities of
that individual, thus enabling the person to partake of healthy
competition and physical exercise. An integral part of self -realization
is self-expression. It is necessary for each individual not only to
have self-awareness (to develop a genuine and real concept of
himself) but also be able in some way to show this self to others."
(Frye $ Peters , p. 102) Two of the best ways of demonstrating self-
expression for 4 D persons is during their leisure time through the use
of art forms and sports.
Another factor of a healthy personality is the "need to feel one
has value and can make a contribution to society, and to feel that
this contribution is recognized: Meeting these needs leads to
self-respect, an important component of self -realization. (Frye $
Peters, p. 104) Oftentimes, 4 D's cannot gain self-esteem and
self-confidence through work, which necessitates gaining personal
values through leisure -time activities. An example would be the
Foster Grandparent Program which aids in the care and treatment of
i
mentally retarded children.
"It is the feeling of accomplishment, of having conquered the
obstacles and come through to victory, that we need so desperately..."
(Frye & Peters, p. 106) These feelings of accomplishment, mastery,
and successful experience are all needs yearned for by both healthy
and disabled persons. Recreation can provide opportunities for
mastery by employing art activity and camping. Camping enables one
to master his environment and art enables one to achieve mastery over
his materials, "a symbolic mastery of reality." (Frye & Peters, p. 107)
McCall refers to the continual striving of developing one's
inherent potentials and maximizing one's values as "invested self-
expression." (Frye & Peters, p. 109) He believes it to be a principle
of human motivation.
Behind and sustaining all or virtually all particular
human motives there is an elan to maximize; not merely to
maintain life -though that of course is basic to the
enterprise of miximization-but to live it as fully as possible,
to develop one's capacities, extend and deepen experience,
experience one's powers in the highest; in a word to achieve
for one's self the greatest possible self -enrichment,
psychologically speaking. (Frye $ Peters, p. 110)
Achieving one's highest human potential is not available on an
equal basis for everyone. Haun says we all have a "tillable acreage,"
(Frye & Peters, p. 110) although the ill and disabled may hold
scanty lots. We should not try to stop the disabled in striving
to achieve their highest potentials in life. Since the "world of
leisure and recreation can provide a 'permanently fertile ground for
self -realization" for everyone, it is the responsiblity of the
therapeutic recreator to assist the diabled in achieving their
maximum advantage of this world.

aggression or hostility harmlessly, relating to others
constructively, coming to grips with reality and gaining leisure
interests that will contribute to mental health.

Six Categories
Pre-school
Elementary
Teens
Young Adults
Adults
Seniors
The initial program should start with the more competent
handicapped. Clients accepted to the program should be evaluated
on their motivation, physical requirement for the activity, client's
verbal and social skills, and the client's activity skills.
Five to seven individuals will be selected from each of
the six age categories. The program participants will be divided
into two (2) groups. The first groups will be comprised of
pre-schoolers, elementary, and teenage children. Of this group of
15-21 individuals, 6-7 will be mildly handicapped, 6-7 will be
moderately handicapped, and 3-4 will be severely handicapped.
The second group wll be comprised of young adults, adults, and
seniors. Of these 15-21 individuals, 6-7 will be mildly
handicapped, 6-7 will be moderately handicapped, and 3-4 will be
severely handicapped.

outreach/leisure counseling programs.' A therapeutic graduate
student would lead this program. Home visits would be made.
Once a month during the week, a large group activity would be
held for all program participants. The program would be on the
fourth Tuesday night of the month.
All programs are subject to change upon mutual agreement
between the co -coordinators.
Each week a different theme will be chosen. One week's theme
would be related to that month's large group special activity.
Depending upon the program's success, participants may have some
input into theme/or activity selection. Themes are selected
each week because they aid in continuity of programming. Activities
can be selected which relate to one another. Themes also add interest
to the activities.
In addition to the services already outlined, arrangements are
being made to provide for leisure counseling programs. The purpose
of this service is to provide leisure counseling or education for
rehabilitation agencies. These agencies will then be able to provide
their clients with beneficial leisure counseling service. The
focus of the leisure counseling service is to make the transition
from the institution or sheltered situation into the community.
Research proves that leisure counseling enhances the integration of
the client back into the community. This program enables the
disabled citizen to utilize his/her leisure in a constructive manner,
while promoting his/her physical, social, and emotional growth and
development.
