MEMORANDUM
Date: May 10, 2018
To: Ashley Monroe, Assistant City Manager
From: Juli Seydell Johnson, Director of Parks & Recreation
Re: Robert A Lee Recreation Center — Phase 2 Remodel
Robert A Lee Recreation Center has been a community asset and gathering space since 1964.
The programming uses have evolved as community needs have changed. Recent renovations
have made the facility more open and inviting to the public while allowing for more safe and
efficient operation and management.
RALRC Phase 2 Project Overview:
The Phase 2 Renovations being designed for 2018 construction include:
1. Remodel Racquetball/Game Room space into a new community space. ($114,000
Construction Estimate)
a. Address access, supervision and safety issues of current use.
b. Increase use/value of space.
c. Provide access directly from parking lot or existing loading dock.
2. Remodel On -Deck Swimming Pool Restrooms ($26,000 Construction Estimate)
a. Address need for inclusive, family changing area for swimming pool.
b. Provide accessible restroom from swimming pool deck.
3. Replace Sound Panels in Swimming Pool and Gym ($45,000 - FY19 Operating Budget)
a. Panels on walls have deteriorated.
4. Provide Building Directional, wayfinding and ADA compliant Signage (Up to $50,000 -
Rec Center Annual Improvement CIP)
Funding in Phase 2 CIP Project is also Anticipated to Cover ONE of the Following Options:
1. Remodel Swimming Pool Locker Rooms (Estimate not complete.)
a. Increase Accessibility
b. Update aged design and condition to allow for more efficient public use,
supervision, cleaning, and maintenance.
2. Remodel Upper Level Rest Room, Event Kitchen, Meeting Rooms and Office Spaces
($146,000 Construction Estimate)
a. Increase Accessibility and visibility of Upper Level Restrooms.
b. Move kitchen to area adjacent to Social Hall to allow for better function of Social
Hall for community gatherings and meals. Concept to be "catering kitchen", not
commercial grade for production cooking.
c. Move a six small `closet' staff offices to remodeled Meeting Room B. Current
offices have a number of accessibility and heating/cooling challenges as the
offices are in spaces intended for storage and other uses.
Finally, project architects have been tasked with determining whether a second story addition is
feasible.
Questions for Council:
Staff has selected OPN Architects as the consultants for Phase 2 design and construction
administration. OPN Architect, Justin Bishop, will attend the May 15 Council work session.
May 10, 2018
Page 2
Staff and the project architect would like direction from the Council on items listed below.
Background information follows.
1. Which process will be used for choosing a non-profit organization to lease
racquetball/game room space:
• Option 1 — Create a generic "box" space. Solicit proposals from non -profits.
Select and allow selected non-profit "build out" the space.
• Option 2 — Designate a non-profit user during design.
2. What financial expectations does the Council have from the non-profit use of this new
space?
3. What questions does the Council want answered through the Second Floor Feasibility
Study? (The 2012 Space Needs Study included an idea for expansion over the parking
lot.)
4. Staff would like Council's feedback on conceptual designs for inclusive swimming pool
locker room design and building signage concepts.
5. What are Council priorities for choosing between Upper Level Remodel or Swimming
Pool Locker Room remodel once preliminary design and estimates are complete?
Recent Improvements:
Several projects have improved and transformed the use, efficiency and function of the Robert
A Lee Recreation center in recent years:
1. Relocation and installation of a fitness room — 2015.
2. Boiler Replacement, Upper Lobby Floor Refinish - 2016
3. Remodel of Upper Lobby in Family STEAM Area — 2017-18.
4. Painting of Upper and Lower Lobbies — 2016 and 2017.
5. Removal of cabinetry, unused bulletin boards and painting of Meeting Rooms — 2018.
6. Removal of curtain from Social Hall/Swimming Pool windows.
7. Gym floor resurfacing, painting Gym walls, replacing basketball hoops and wall mats.
2018
8. New landscaping surrounding building. Addition of Children's Discovery Garden,
Outdoor Classroom and edible landscaping on NW corner. 2015-2017
9. Automation System for boiler and HVAC — 2018.
Accessibility Items Addressed to Date:
1. East Entrance Ramp from Parking Lot and van accessible parking spaces
2. Game Room Public Restrooms — Two Inclusive Single -Stall Restrooms constructed in
2017.
3. Lactation Room — Constructed in 2017.
4. Main Stairs and Railings — Replaced in 2017.
5. Accessibility and efficiency of main office area. - 2017
Previous Facility Studies:
A number of facility studies have been completed in recent years. Results of these studies
guides the priorities presented for this phase.
1. 2012 - Iowa City Municipal Facilities Space Needs Study and Master Plan: The study
was conducted by RDG Planning and Design from Des Moines, Iowa. The focus of the
study was to assess the physical spaces and systems of City facilities and to assist the
City with planning for future space and system needs by making recommendations for
renovation, relocation, or new construction of the facilities assessed. Main
recommendations for the Recreation Center in this report were to address the
accessibility issue of the Racquetball Court, renovate with the addition to east of the
gymnasium and remodel the inefficient and non ADA compliant interior spaces.
2. 2013 - ADA Accessibility Audit: The audit was conducted by Recreation Accessibility
Consultants, LLC from Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The project was led by John
May 10, 2018
Page 3
McGovern and included the audit of three recreation facilities; Robert A. Lee Community
Recreation Center, Mercer Park Aquatic Center/Scanlon Gym, and City Park Pool. The
audit focused on access issues for all public and office areas in each facility. There
were many significant findings, specifically with Restrooms, locker rooms, staff offices
and way finding.
3. 2017 — Robert A. Lee Community Recreation Center Building Improvement Study: The
study was conducted by Neumann Monson Architects from Iowa City, Iowa. The study
reviewed, recommended improvements, and gave preliminary cost estimates for several
existing issues in need of renovation within the recreation center. Areas reviewed
included the pool deck restrooms, racquetball court, relocation of the kitchen to the
social hall, second floor restrooms, and signage and wayfinding.
Identified Accessibility, Building Operations and Deteriorating Conditions Concerns:
The previous studies identified the following items for renovations/improvements.
1. Accessibility, condition and use of racquetball courts and neighboring game room.
There is also very low public use of these areas. Supervision of racquetball courts and
game room is problematic. Location and accessibility of staff storage areas behind
racquetball courts is not safe.
2. Need accessible family changing area with shower for swimming pool. (Conversion of
on -deck restrooms.)
3. Staff office areas. Most that have been created from storage rooms and closets do not
meet accessibility guidelines. In addition, they have sound and security concerns and
are not compliant to meet with the populations that they serve.
4. Upper Level Restrooms — Stalls, counters, sinks are not readily accessible for
wheelchairs. Current configuration of men's entrance is problematic for supervision and
visibility by public.
5. Lower Level Swimming Pool Lower Rooms — Accessible, but deteriorating conditions
make public use, maintenance, supervision and cleaning difficult.
6. Current Kitchen — Location is problematic for most use requests, which are for events in
the Social Hall. The Social Hall does not have a preparation or serving space for
catering, potlucks and other community meals.
Financial Impact:
$475,000 is available in the FY19 CIP for the Phase 2 Building Project. This is
anticipated to pay for Racquetball/Game Room renovation and either the Lower Level
Locker Room Remodel or Upper Level Remodeling.
$65,000 is available in the FY19 Recreation Center Improvements CIP for on -deck pool
restroom and building signage.
$45,000 is available in the FY19 Operating Budget for replacement of the sound panels
in the pool and/or gym.
Other Facility Needs Not included in this Discussion:
• Robert A Lee Swimming Pool: Replacement of the swimming pool filtration, sanitation
and pump system in the near future. The current equipment is nearing the end of
service. Estimated cost for replacement is $700,000 and is listed as a FY22 CIP Project.
• Arts & Craft Room/Pottery Studio: Cosmetic changes have been made to this space.
However, as community requests for programming change, this space may have
different uses requiring a reimagining and renovation of the space.

Subject: Educational needs for adult English language learners
Attachments: English only rules in the workplace.pdf; Issue Brief- LEP adults in Iowa City.docx
Fellow Council members,
On April 24, Susan, Kingsley, and I met with Colleen Schmidt, Joan Vanderberg, and three members of the
Refugee Alliance to discuss challenges faced by adult non-English speaking residents of the Iowa City area.
The attached Issue Brief (which Colleen provided) concisely summarizes the nature of the problem and some of
the key issues involved.
If I understand correctly, the core of the problem is that adult non-English speaking adult refugees might be
highly skilled and yet not able to find appropriate gainful employment, often because they do not yet speak
English well enough. I think it is correct to say that Susan, Kingsley, and I were persuaded this is a problem
needing attention. But we also don't think this is a problem that Iowa City government can solve by itself.
After considerable discussion, we began imagining the possibility of co -convening a meeting of relevant local
governments and stakeholders to see if we could address the problem in a collaborative fashion.

Subject: Documents from yesterday's meeting
Hi Jim, Kingsley and Susan,
Thanks for meeting with our small CEDAC group yesterday. Here are the documents I said I would forward.
One is the handout I provided on current educational needs for adult English Learners in Iowa City. I revised it
a bit, I encourage you to review this refined draft. It's essentially an issue brief that could provide helpful
context to your city staff or fellow council members.
The other document, attached, is the memo I received from the City of Iowa City on English -only rules in the
workplace. I found the information helpful and was glad to share it with our English students. It's not related to
the issue we discussed, but I touched on it because it made me realize that city memorandums could help
businesses and institutions alike become more aware of the rights of LEP individuals in our community.
I have not included a draft of the proposals I shared yesterday - I wanted to provide some ideas, but realize that
may have been premature. So, I'd rather let CEDAC narrow the focus on those before you share them with
others.
Again, thanks for your time working with us. I have felt quite a bit outside of my comfort zone and appreciated
the goodwill and advice you shared. I expect Joan Vanden Berg will be in touch after the CEDAC group has
taken the steps you recommended.
Thanks again!

MEMORANDUM
Date:. February 12, 2018
To: Iowa City Business Owners
From: Kristin Watson, Human Rights Investigator
Re: English -Only Rules in the Workplace
Many businesses currently have employees who speak more than one language. In 2015, more than 20% of people
in the US did not use English as their primary language at home; 13°/a of the population spoke Spanish as a primary
language.' Many more people whose primary language is English have the ability to speak multiple languages. This
means the potential far employees speaking in languages other than English is high. Policies requiring the use of
English at work or restricting the use of other languages are commonly known as 'English -only' rules. Because
language is intertwined with cultural Identity, these rules must be carefully crafted to avoid complaints based upon
national origin.
A rule requiring employees to speak English at all times In the workplace Is presumed to be discriminatory.
Since 1980, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) guidelines have stated that a rule requiring
employees to speak English at all times will be found to be discriminatory, for three reasons:
• Non-native English speakers will be prohibited from speaking In their most effective language;
• They may suffer adverse consequences for speaking their native language, while native English speakers
are not subject to the same risk;
• Such a rule may create "an atmosphere of inferiority, isolation, and intimidation ... which could result in a
discriminatory working environment." 2
Employees cannot be required to speak English while on a break, at lunch, making an allowable personal telephone
call, on the premises but not yet on the clock, or any other similar circumstance that does not Involve actively
working.
Language-restrictIve policies should be (1) Job-related and (2) consistent with business necessity.
FLOC regulations state that It Is not enough that there Is a business purpose for the policy; it must be 'necessary to
the safe and efficient operation of the business."a Necessity is not easy to prove. Courts have stated a business must
show a "compelling need' for the policy.° This need cannot simply be asserted. It must be shown by detailed, fact-
speoi0c evidence that the policy Is necessary to safe and efficient job performance or safe and efficient business
operations, and that the policy actually accomplishes the objective of serving the Identified business necessity.
A language -restrictive policy must be as narrow as possible.
Such a policy should apply only to the specific employees, work areas, circumstances, times, and job duties for which
It Is truly needed to accomplish the identified business necessity. For example, a retail sales associate In an area
where almost all customers speak English may be required to speak English while on the sales floor. However, the
associate should not be prevented from speaking their native language If a customer happens to be speaking that
language and the sales associate can provide individualized service in that language. In addition, the sales associate
should not be prevented from speaking another language while not on the sales floor, unless It is necessary to speak
English to communicate regarding work-related matters.
Language•restricgons should not be used to Improve employee morale.
Some employers wish to implement English -only policies because employees fear those speaking other languages
are gossiping or forming cliques that might create a negative working environment. Without more, this is not a
sufficientjustiflcatlon for a reOlctive-language policy. Arry"doncems of this nature should be addressed individually.

Be aware that restrictive language policies maybe created Inadvertently.
Several courts have found that, even when the employer has no formal rule, such a rule may be imposed by
supervisors actions. For example, a manager who snaps, `speak Englishl" at staff conversing in another language
may create a de facto rule and expose the employer to liability. Supervisory staff should be trained regarding English -
only policies.
Where restrictive -language policies exist, they should not be enforced In an excessively harsh manner.
Non-native English speakers may slip into their native language or mix their native language with English without
even real'¢Ing that they are doing so, especially in stressful situations. Employers should give employees who
accidentally revert to their native language a no -consequences reminder, and limit disciplinary action to willful
violations.
Tips for Implementing a restrictive -language policy:
• Carefully consider whether such a policy is truly needed. If so, make the policy as narrow as possible to fit
the business necessity for which it is imposed.
• Clearly specify when, where, at what time(s), and/or in what siluallon(s) the policy applies.
• Do not single out or exclude any particular language.
• Under EEOC regulations, notice to employees is essential. it Is best to provide employees with a copy of the
policy in their native language. At the least, make sure the policy is explained to employees and truly
understood. Obtain a signed adunowledgment.
Related Issue 1—Accents:
If an employee or job applicant has an accent, be careful to objectively evaluate the person's ability to do the job.
Employment decisions may be based upon accents, but only when effective spoken communication Is required to
perform the job duties and the accent significantly interferes with the person's ability to communicate In English. If the
person is an existing employee, significant Interference must be shown by actual performance Issues.
Related Issue 2—Fluency In English:
In general, English fluency may only be required if it is necessary for the effective performance of the job. For
example, in one case, an employee was sufficiently fluent to hold the job of Research Assistant, but was not able to
hold the position of Senior Scientlflc Writer, which required more complex and specialized English abiiily.s The level
of fluency required should be assessed In relation to the particular job In question.
Related Issue 3—Fluency in languages other than English:
Requiring fluency in other languages Is the same as requiring fluency In English—pennissibls only If, and to the
extent, that it Is necessary for the effective performance of the job. For example, a church with a primarily Spanish-
speaking congregation could require that its pastor speak Spanish.
Businesses with diverse clients may assign bilingual employees to clients who speak the languages they speak, while
assigning employees who speak only English to Engflsh-speaking clients. Businesses are not required to provide
additional compensation when employees perform their usual duties In languages other than English.

Discrimination, the full text of which can be found at httosl/www.eeoc.eov/laws/euidance/national-orfein-

Issue Brief: Educational access for LEP adults in Iowa City
The Iowa City community has a patchwork of noncredit English programs serving various
immigrant populations with varying needs. Free or low-cost non-credit programs in the
community, such as classes and tutoring by IC Compassion, the International Women's Club,
and Friendship Community Project offer life skills English classes with a heavy focus on cultural
integration staffed primarily by dedicated volunteers. In addition, the school district offers
limited adult ESL programming at a number of local schools.
Most of these programs run on an open -enrollment model, occur 1-2 times weekly, and are often
staffed by volunteer teachers, offering flexibility to incoming students and immigrants who are
unable to attend consistently.
By contrast, Kirkwood Community College offers a program funded by federal and state
departments of education, with English classes that focus on English life skills and career
readiness classes, taught primarily by part-time instructors. This program places heavy emphasis
on standards-based instruction, measurable student achievement gains, student -centered learning,
digital literacy and transitions to higher education and career pathways.
This program is run on a managed -enrollment model, which means there are fixed entry points
for new students, rather than open -enrollment throughout the year. Since 2013, enrollment in
Kirkwood's non-credit ESL programs has increased by 300% to more than 400 students annually
and has had significant improvement in student persistence and educational level gains. In the
past five years, students have increasingly transitioned to adult basic education, high school
completion and skills -to -employment programs.
Waiting lists for adult ESL program have been a problem in recent years in Iowa City. During
2016-2017, waiting lists for Kirkwood's noncredit programs in Iowa City grew to average
approximately 250+ students for most of the the academic year. In 2017, Kirkwood was able to
expand programs to Coralville and add two additional sections in Iowa City, resulting in a
reduced waiting list for evening classes, but demand continued to outsize availability.
Since November 2017, the Kirkwood Learning Center has received more than 220 inquiries;
more than 130 applicants were not able to obtain placement. Kirkwood has experienced
significant budget cuts, which have resulted in college -wide layoffs; so far, noncredit programs
have not been reduced, but no additional money is expected to help expand programming.
Applicants are often referred to adult ESL tutoring at IC Compassion on the southeast side of
Iowa City, which also now has a waiting list.
In addition, applicants are referred to Kirkwood's ELA (academic English) program on a case-
by-case basis; many students cannot afford these classes and in some cases risk accruing debt
and using up financial aid eligibility for degree programs.
Another area of need relates to adult LEP individuals attempting to access career readiness
education programs, from high school equivalency programs to workforce -funded vocational
training opportunities, job -seeker workshops or digital literacy classes. While the majority of
training opportunities exist in Cedar Rapids, several opportunities currently exist in Iowa City,
such as EKG technician or CNA, but these programs currently have an English proficiency
requirement to participate.
One way Iowa Workforce Development and Kirkwood High School Completion Programs
attempt to remove language barriers is by referring students to noncredit ESL programs at
Kirkwood. However, due to waiting lists, these referrals often result in delays of several months
or more. Sometimes individuals need the educational programming to qualify for unemployment
and develop skills to seek new job opportunities.
Referring students to ESL classes with long waiting lists and insufficient instructional time to
develop English proficiency in five years or less does not provide meaningful access to
educational programs; this is an acute area of non-compliance with nondiscrimination provisions
in federal policy. Because of current circumstances, both Iowa Workforce Development and
Kirkwood likely need to develop a plan of access for LEP individuals, beyond a referral to a wait
list for ESL classes, to ensure compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act..
More funding for additional services would also help these issues. Funding the services of a
multilingual education/career navigator, multilingual instructors, or bilingual program/classroom
associates for LEP individuals in adult education/workforce training programs could also help
address some of these issues. These additional services could either complement current
offerings at Kirkwood and Iowa Workforce Development or operate through other organizations
in the community such as schools, neighborhood centers, or community associations.
Education is key to both workforce development and public health. While community
institutions are striving to meet this need, a de facto denial of service exists for many LEP adults
in our community. Given uncertain and limited funding for adult ESL programs in Iowa City and
Coralville, local government may wish to help address these needs through providing additional
funding, brokering increased community partnerships to expand adult ESL and career services,
or by working with Kirkwood and Iowa Workforce Development to develop and monitor an
equity plan for LEP individuals so that a coordinated effort can make a positive impact over
time.

programs to develop academic skills for transition
to postsecondary education
• 300% ESL program growth in four years
• more than 300 people on waiting list last year

Honorable Mayor,
The annual summit of the UNESCO Cities of Literature is the most important date in our common
a
calendar. It is a time for this global network to not only integrate, strategize and discuss
achievements and future plans, but also to better understand local contexts, learn about the
specificity and uniqueness of the Host City, experience and network, build new connections that will
bring long-term benefit to the local community as well as the international one.
The UNESCO Cities of Literature are motivated by a common vision and mission. At our core we hope
to change the world for the better and we understand international cooperation as central to this
purpose, an integral tool in the process.
I would like to express my sincerest thanks on behalf of the UNESCO Cities of Literature for the very
generous welcome that we received in Iowa City, the opportunity to achieve the aforementioned
goals of the summit by bringing up together and providing us the platform and conditions, and the
incredible access that we had to the literary and creative sector of your fabulous city. It was always
very clear that literature is at the heart of Iowa City; the reputation of its writing programs and
Centre for the Book is far-reaching. And yet, we discovered so much in Iowa City — the fantastic
independent publisher and comic fair held as part of the Mission Creek Festival, that strong
interconnection between music and literature, the writers' workshops, the gorgeous public library
and Its central role as a social and creative space for all citizens, the translation department and its
vision for an international digital translators conference... Iowa City is truly a leading City of
Literature. we were inspired, motivated and enriched by the experience. Thank you for your
hospitality, for showcasing to us how celebrated and supported the literary and creative arts are in
Iowa City and the region, and for bring a global network to the city, so that we could share
experience and develop deeper connections. I am certain that this will have dynamic effects on our
future collaborations.
In many ways, the 2018 UNESCO Cities of Literature Annual Meeting was historic, a turning -point.
We celebrate Iowa City and its 10 years in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network; we celebrate the
director of the program in Iowa City, John Kenyon, and his entire team for being an active and
proactive member and putting together one of the most successful summits to date. Thank you for
everything.

Dear Mayor Throgmorton
I would like to offer our congratulations to Iowa City as you celebrate this year, the
tenth anniversary of your city's designation as a UNESCO City of Literature.
When Iowa City joined the Creative City Network in 2008, we were delighted to
discover such a vibrant literary community. We were impressed by your city's literary
credentials and honoured to work alongside you as two cities dedicated to
celebrating and supporting literature on a local, national, and international level.
Through your City of Literature Organisation, you have made a commitment to
supporting the highest quality literary programming, to engaging and growing
audiences of all ages and backgrounds in reading and writing, and we hold this in
high regard.
In this, your anniversary year, a representative from our Edinburgh UNESCO City of
Literature office will be attending your Cities of Literature conference, and we hope
this will deepen the relationship between our two literary cities, as we learn from
each other, and become inspired by each other's books, words and ideas.
With this letter, I enclose a poem from Edinburgh's Maker, our poet laureate, Alan
Spence. What better way to express the friendship between our two cities than in the
words of one of our finest poets.
I send my best regards to you, your city and your literary community.
Yours sincerely

Iowa City Police Department and University of Iowa DPS
Bar Check Report - April, 2018
The purpose of the Bar Check Report is to track the performance of Iowa City liquor license establishments in
monitoring their patrons for violations of Iowa City's ordinances on Possession of Alcohol Under the Legal Age
(PAULA) and Persons Under the Legal Age in Licensed or Permitted Establishments (Under 21). Bar checks are
defined by resolution as an officer -initiated check of a liquor establishment for PAULA or other alcohol related
violations. This includes checks done as part of directed checks of designated liquor establishments, and checks
initiated by officers as part of their routine duties. It does not include officer responses to calls for service.
The bar check ratios are calculated by dividing the number of citations issued to the patrons at that
establishment during the relevant period of time by the number of bar checks performed during the same period
of time. The resulting PAULA ratio holds special significance to those establishments with exception certificates,
entertainment venue status, or split venues, in that they risk losing their special status if at any time their PAULA
ratio exceeds .25 for the trailing 12 months. Note, while the resolution requires that bar checks and citations of
the University of Iowa Department of Public Safety (DPS) be included in these statistics, the DPS ceased performing
bar checks and issuing these citations to patrons in Mav of 2014.

Preliminary
Lending Disparities in Federal Mortgage Data:
In February 2018, Reveal, a program of the Center for Investigative Reporting, issued a report on
housing mortgage disparities in the US. Iowa City was listed as a location with very high rates of
denial for Hispanic applicants. Falk has recreated the study done by Reveal. Hills Bank appears
to have a high number of denials for Latinos. Falk would like to provide Hills Bank with a copy
of his report and ask representatives from the bank to attend a future meeting to ask them
questions relating to the study. Falk moved to invite a representative from Hills Bank to a
Commission meeting to ask them about the large disparities'in loan approval for Hispanics; the
motion was seconded by Pena. No Vote Taken.
Commissioner Coulter moved to table the vote until the next meeting to allow time to seek the
legal advice of the City Attorney on whether inviting a representative from Hills Bank would
create any legal liability for the Commission; the motion was seconded by Kutzko. A vote was
taken and the motion passed 7-1 (Falk in the negative).

On April 2, Willis, Pella, and Munoz went to the Broadway Neighborhood Center to provide

Members Absent: Suzanne Bentler
Staff Present: Chad Dyson, Zac Hall, Juli Seydell Johnson,
Others Present: Gia DeBartolo; Luke Foelsch; John Jepsen; Scott Spak
CALL TO ORDER
Chairman Younker called the meeting to order at 5 p.m.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: (to become effective only after separate Council action):
None
OTHER FORMAL ACTION:
Two errors were noted in the March 14, 2018 minutes. Steve Bird was logged as being present and was
absent; Joe Younker was noted as absent and was present.
Moved by Fett, seconded by Hamann, to approve the March 14.2018 minutes as amended. Passed
8-0 Gentler absent).
At the January 10, 2018 Commission Meeting, Brian and Brianna Wills were present to propose that the
Commission consider a motion to rename Hickory Trail Park as Calder Park in memory of their son. It was
not noted in the transcribed January minutes that Commission had made a motion to accept both proposals.
However, Neumann could find that there was indeed a passed motion noted on the original draft of the
minutes. Because the January minutes had been reviewed and approved, it was necessary to again make
that motion and have members vote on the proposal.
Moved by Fett, seconded by Smith, to recommend that Council approve the request proposed by
the Will's family to rename Hickory Trail Park to "Calder's Park" in memory of Calder
Wills. Passed 8-0 Gentler absent).
PUBLIC DISCUSSION

RECREATION PATRON CONDUCT POLICY- CHAD DYSON:
Dyson explained that as part of the Human Rights Campaign 2018 Municipal Equality Index, City
departments that provide youth services have been asked to implement Youth Bullying Prevention
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
April 11, 2018
Page 2 of 6
policies that prohibit bullying on the express basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in City
facilities and services. He said that staff is recommending the addition of the following to the current
policy: "Sexual, physical or other harassment including bullying youth or others on the basis of their
sexual orientation or gender identity", item #2, as prohibited conduct within Recreation Division facilities
and services.
Dyson requested that the Commission review the current policy as written including new language
suggested and give comments. Hamann had some concern with wording of the change as it seems to only
apply to bullying on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. While Dyson pointed out that it
does state in the introduction paragraph "but is not limited to the following," It was suggested to restate
this in #2 on the policy with the same wording.
Moved by Fett, seconded by Hamann, to approve the proposed addition to the Iowa City
Recreation Division Patron Conduct Policy with amendment request to add the statement
"including but not limited to" to item #2 within the policy. Passed 8-0 Gentler absent).
U OF I STUDENT PRESENTATION OF TTRA PROJECT:
Students of the Urban & Regional Planning program created an environmental adaptation & management
plan for the Terry Trueblood Recreation Area and were at the Commission Meeting to show their
presentation. That presentation is attached.
REPORT ON ITEMS FROM CITY STAFF
Parks & Recreation Director — Juli Seydell Johnson:
• RAGBRAI Planning: Seydell Johnson noted that there will be an announcement on April 17
unveiling the Iowa City theme for 2018 RAGBRAI.
• Happy Hollow Pazk: The shelter has been removed from the park.
• Mercer HVAC: This project is in process. The on -deck restroom construction has begun. During
the project, the pool at Mercer will be shut down beginning the week of May 7 for approximately
one month as there will be no mechanism to heat the pool water.
• Cardigan Pazk: The footings are in place for the shelter construction and the rest of the path will
be poured this week.
• Creekside Park: The design plans are progressing. Staff has selected a playground so the bidding
can happen soon with construction slated to begin in early July. Trees have been removed for
placement of the parking area.
• Villa Park: The neighborhood meeting that was held in April went very well. Staff is currently
working on the paperwork necessary to receive federal funding. CDBG requires an
environmental study. The project is slated to take place this summer.
• Riverfront Crossings: Seydell Johnson stated that the second round of bidding for the shelter and
restroom was successful. This work will begin soon. She also stated that the playground should
be in place within a couple of weeks.
Recreation Division Superintendent — Chad Dyson
• Dyson noted that due to inclement weather, the preparation of City Park Pool is delayed. Staff is
hoping for a break in the weather soon.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION

Page 3 of 6
• Dyson said that along those same lines, prepping of athletic fields is also behind. They generally
open by April 1. However, due to the late snow, low temperatures and saturation of the fields,
they are not yet able to be utilized.
• Dyson announced that the Summer Activity Guide is now available. Commission Members
expressed their praise for the new size and design of the brochure. Dyson shared that Amanda
Opitz of the Recreation Department is the staff member that supervises this project. Registration
for activities will begin on April 25. He noted that this is the first year that the department will be
using "Peachjar", a third party digital format, to distribute information about recreation programs
to students and parents. Dyson will monitor and report on its progress. He also announced that
Hy -Vee stores will now distribute the activity guides.
• Dyson announced that STEAM Fest is scheduled for Sunday, April 15 from 1-4 p.m. at the Terry
Trueblood Recreation Area Park Lodge. Children and adults will experience hands-on
educational activities in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math.
• The Strider Bike Race has been moved from Kiwanis Park to the Robert A. Lee Gymnasium due
to inclement weather.
Parks Division Superintendent — Zac Hall:
Hall reiterated that the weather has delayed opening of facilities, including ball fields and soccer
fields. With a forecasted break in the weather tomorrow, staff hopes to be able to begin prepping
the fields. The weather has also delayed the turning on of water and restrooms at the park.
Hall says that they are still having difficulty in hiring seasonal staff for the summer. Will continue
the process.
Hall announced that there will be a prairie burn along the river in City Park tomorrow, weather
permitting.
COMMISSION TIME/SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE ATENDA ITEMS
Venzon asked if this is the first time that summer camp registration has been offered online. Dyson
confirmed that it is and that staff was able to work with a company who could get that system up and
running for the department.
Laurian noted that if Commission or staff would like the U of I Urban & Regional Planning students to do
any additional projects in the future, to let her know.
Venzon shared that she has heard a lot of complements about all the work going into the parks.
Hamann asked when the bridge at Riverfront Crossings would be complete. Seydell Johnson said that it is
up to the development occurring on the east side. There is a waterline that must be placed before the
bridge can be complete.
Hamann also asked who to contact if she is interested in assisting with the Free Wheels Program. Dyson
noted that the Recreation Division is the lead in this program. RaQuishia Harrington from the department
is working with the police department and World of Bikes on the project. Hamann is welcome to join.
ADJOURNMENT:
Moved by Fett, seconded by Hamann, seconded by Venzon, to adjourn the meeting at 5:44 a.m.

Adaptation Planning Goals
• Assume sudden and incremental environmental changes
• Reduce the vulnerability of social and ecological systems to change
• Short & long-term time -scales
• Reduce impacts of flooding for humans and non -humans
• Should be:
• Protective of unique ecological resources
• Feasible, low cost, economically efficient
• Flexible, reflexive, iterative
• Equitable and protective of health and safety

Goals and Objectives
Goals:
Promote resilience, adaptation, and ecological
regeneration within TTWET and its
surroundings.
2. Facilitate increased human interaction with and
understanding of the natural area.
3. Create an adaptation plan and planning process
template with generalized adaptation strategies
and best management practices for other sites
along the Iowa River and areas with similar
characteristics.
Goal #1: Promote resilience, adaptation, and
ecological regeneration
Objectives:
1. Work toward long-term ecological integrity
1. Plant species that are well-suited for prolonged exposure to
flooding and future climate change and provide habitat.
2. Remove species that are not well-suited (now or in the near
future) or that, as invasive species, pose a risk to the wider
ecology of the site
2. Attract and retain local and migratory wildlife
3. Use flood -resilient materials and locations for the
construction of amenities and signage
4. Clean up garbage and other detritus throughout the site
5. Establish a system for ecological monitoring
Goal #2: Facilitate increased human interaction
with and understanding of the natural area
Objectives:
1. Create varied and compatible opportunities for all current and
planned site use appealing to all ages and families year-round
2. Educate visitors and the public about natural, historical, and
cultural uses of the site and region by utilizing natural, built
(including signage), and digital environments
3. Preserve natural viewsheds
4. Involve local residents and park users in decision-making
regarding park use and monitoring
a) Institute comprehensive use and citizen science monitoring
b) Form a group of volunteers that regularly holds
events/meetings at/about TTWET
Goal #3: Create an adaptation plan and planning
process template with generalized strategies and
best management practices for other sites along the
Iowa River and areas with similar characteristics
Objectives:
1. Recommend transferable plan development methods
2. Recommend transferable principles for managing heavily
modified ecosystems in frequently flooding areas
3. Recommend transferable steps for informing the public
about ecological, historical, and cultural processes in
adaptation -oriented management plans

Details Gov. led, community run; Involves as many stakeholders, Community led, run and funded;
gov. recognizes problem
and uses CBM group to
monitor
Pros May lead to long-term data sets;
often successful in short term
Cons Dependant on gov. funding;
less diverse stakeholders
individuals, etc. as possible;
often based on a non-politically
demarked area (i.e. watershed)
Often more decision making
power than other structures
None published
community recognizes problem -
trying to get gov. attention
Can be successful with community
and stakeholder support
May not be diverse (i.e. only
activists), problems with
credibility and capacity
Monitoring issues that are
not governed by legislation
• Combine institutionally -supported mobile apps and engage local citizen-science/parks management.
Citizens can identify species on-site with the Merlin Bird ID app and by taking photos of foliage or animals
to identify at home.
• Using the eBird, Naturalist, and Budburst websites, citizens upload observations and data they collected.
• Data can be downloaded from the websites by citizens and city officials to monitor plant and bird life.
