OTHER FORMAL ACTION: Moved by Hachtman, seconded by Serenda, to approve the July 13, 2022 minutes after havine struck mention of Commissioner Connie Moore from the July 13, 2022 Minutes. Motion passed 6-0 (Penandio Lemoupa, Morelli & Schmidt absent) PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA: Justin Fishbaugh says that the Parks and Recreation department is proposing to close the Robert A. Lee Pool because it will be too expensive. Fishbaugh cites the `Condition of the Pool' report to show that the pool and natatorium could be repaired for $579,000 instead of the $4.5-5 million reported to the public, as the expenses for the RAL pool repairs are being lumped into the cost for the entire RAL building. Fishbaugh explains how he came to $579,000 for pool repairs, citing Pp. 71, Fishbaugh used the most expensive estimates of pool repairs from WT Group and came to $471,000 of which includes $80,000 for Surge Tank replacement and $90,000 for poll filters, which are already described as being budgeted to be replaced for on Pp. 62. Fishbaugh includes that on P. 225, a table showing existing capital funding for fiscal year 23 reports that RAL pool has $640,000 already budgeted for the pool filter and HVAC. Jill Fishbaugh took up speaking where Justin Fishbaugh ran out of time. Fishbaugh cites the `Condition of the Pools' report Pp. 70 that the WT Group recommended repairs would take place across 1-5 years. Fishbaugh notes that the report on Pp. 83 from Williams Architect shows that the whole facility repairs would cost $4.1 million across 10 years which does not include the cost of WT Groups' estimate but does include the natatorium, the pool enclosure. Fishbaugh takes the $108,000 natatorium repairs estimate from Williams Architect and adds it to the $471,000 estimate from WT group for a total of $579,000. Fishbaugh points out that this is nowhere near the $4.7 million reported by Parks and Recreation on P. 184. Fishbaugh concludes that the WT Group report says RAL pool is in fair condition and recommends the investment into the swimming facility. Duane Miller, Pickleball Ambassador, speaks of the explosive growth in pickleball player count attributing it to four key points. It's fun for all ages, it's easy to learn, it keeps you healthy and fit, and it's a lifetime sport. Miller refers to a handout with stats that shows that player count has gone up by 39% in the last two years and has nearly double in the last seven years. Miller points out that Iowa is among the states with the highest growth, with the Johnson County region having a growth of 30% a year. Miller announces that with such a demand for pickleball venue, the USA Pickleball Association is preparing toolkits for community planners with guidelines and cost estimates for building courts. Miller asks for the support of the Commission as the demand for pickleball facilities grow. Mary Ellen Hein says that there is a need for new pickleball courts at Mercer Park and in Iowa City with 500 members registered with Pickleball Johnson County. Hein details that on average, 32 players would sign up via Playtime Scheduler to play at Mercer every day, but with players coming from outside Johnson County to play who are not using the online scheduler, that number is likely much higher. Hein thanks the department for recently providing a bench at the courts and asks if more benches would be realistic. Hein asks about the feasibility of making a barrier to go between the courts. Currently balls are going across courts and tripping people, the barriers would work to make the courts safer. Hein says that there are wasps near the Mercer Park quarts and asks that they be addressed. Myra Clark, Pickleball Ambassador, has been giving pickleball lessons to local players. Clark gives lessons four days a week at the Green State Family Field House, Mercer Park Outdoor Courts, the Robert A. Lee gymnasium, and to the synagogue, Agudas Achim Congregation. Clark has been teaching an average of four new players per day, for a total of 16 players being taught each week. Clark asks that with the numbers growing at such a rate, that there be more pickleball courts in the future. Jim Broffitt, Pickleball Ambassador, distributes a handout with example courts. Broffitt describes the pickleball courts in between Opelika, AL and Auburn, AL, and how they can be used as a model to compare to pickleball courts between Iowa City, IA and Coralville, IA, with similar size and make up between the two sets of cities. Broffitt explains the floor plan of 12 courts, laid out in 3 rows of four courts. Between each row of courts are aisles with benches allowing players to sit in between games, as opposed to Mercer Park Courts where most players must take up one of the courts to stand around in while not playing. The Alabama courts also have a large canopy over the courts, that would allow pickleball players to resume play in detrimental weather. Broffitt shows that it cost Opelika $650,000 for the facilities. Broffitt cited the Opelika City Clerk, Russell Jones, that Opelika recently had a 5-day pickleball tournament using their facilities, bringing 800 participants to the area. These participants brought their families, stayed in hotels, ate at restaurants, bought clothes gas and other items, raising the estimated economic impact of the single tournament to be approximately $1,000,000. Anne Stapleton, a 36-year RAL Pool user, requests that the hours at RAL pool be reinstated to be open 6:15 a.m. — 6:00 p.m. like it was before pool hours were slashed in January. Stapleton says that if staff encounters a shortage of lifeguards, to have like guards move from MPAC to RAL for the 9 a.m. — 11 a.m. shift and the 1 p.m. — 6 p.m. shift. Stapleton explains that the decrease in RAL hours prevents many from using the pool especially those who swim in the afternoons after work or school. Stapleton quotes the Rec Master Plan, "Aquatics ranks number one above all other program enrollment nets and for indoor pools, a central location", yet the RAL pool is only open 4.75 hours a day, Mon — Fri. Stapleton second point is that the pool usage as listed in the July 131" 'Condition of the Pools' report is misleading and inaccurate, with five categories of RAL pool users either under counted or not counted at all which greatly skews the understanding of who is using the pool. Stapleton says that the report omits the total number of people using RAL pool at any one time. Stapleton explains that starting in January, after speaking to Brad Barker regarding the reduced hours, she began counting pool users each time she swam. Stapleton reports that the average number of swimmers when Stapleton arrives is greater than 7 users and can be over 15 users when Stapleton leaves the pool. Stapleton says that the report is misleading and is inaccurately claiming to report lap swimmers separately from others but even those numbers don't accurately reflect her experiences. Stapleton continues that aquacisers are undercounted as classes regularly include 12-15 people, but the report only lists registration numbers and not the number of people in the pool or when they attend. Jack Stapleton took up speaking where Anne Stapleton ran out of time. Stapleton explains that the report does not include Sundays, when many families attend swim lesson and other special events throughout the year. Stapleton says that potentially hundreds of pass users are being undercounted. Stapleton reports that at the July 13, 2022 Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting, Matt Eidahl says that unique pass holders are counted just one time, meaning when someone who goes multiple times they are only counted once. Stapleton continues that ICPR staff and Red Cross Training are not counted but provide an important use of the pool for the community. Stapleton refers to the June 21, 2022 City Council work session, and quotes Juli Seydell Johnson, "It's not uncommon to have zero, one, or two lap swimmers for a greater portion of the day". Stapleton argues that this does not include lap swimmers, aquasisers, water walkers, and deep well users. Stapleton says that some swimmers avoid arriving at RAL pool at 11 a.m. since all six lanes are typically full. Note: The Condition of the Pools report lists both Unique Pass Scans and Total Pass Scans seperately on the same table. Carin Crain voices opposition to the plan to move indoor aquatics to Mercer Pool. Crain asks for a model schedule that shows how the department will merge all the RAL pool activities with the activities of MPAC Pool, which include lap swim, water walking, aquacise, deep water aquacise, private swim lessons, group swim lessons that shut down RAL pool, red cross training, junior lifeguard, staff and services, birthday parties, special events like the egg hunt or New Year's Eve for kids, and youth swim teams. Crain wants to know who will be excluded from the water and who gets in and if MPAC pool can feasibly take all the indoor aquatic activities. Crain brings up the question of equity and the RAL pool. Crain elaborates that if someone can't afford gas or even a car that they can use the bus routes to get to the RAL pool. Currently the RAL pool is %x mile away from the Downtown Interchange bus station, while Mercer pool is only accessible via one bus route, Town Crest. If someone does not live close to the Town Crest route, then they must transfer which makes it more likely to miss a bus and thus miss your swim. Crain praises the city for providing free swim lessons to low-income households. Crain continues that since swimming is a live saving sport, the City's programming has probably saved lives because people are more comfortable and more skilled in the water. Crain says that this is an important point of equity for low-income households and People of Color, and by taking away the water, we are also taking away the option of enjoying and surviving in water. Dan Katalich says that if you support equity, diversity, and inclusion then you should move to repair RAL pool. Katalich details that Mercer pool is often closed to everyone for swim meets, which is very uninclusive. Katalich explains the necessity of having an easily accessible and centrally located aquatics facility. Katalich says that the City Park Pool stands out with its Oak canopy and that the current configuration of the pool should not be changed. Katalich agrees that accommodation towards a zero depth would be beneficial to the community by introducing kids into the water safely. Ann Tabor says that the growing Pickleball needs accommodations for the growing sport, especially with other facilities such as the Green State Family Field House having an entrance fee attached. Tabor mentions that indoor pickleball during the wintertime would be appreciated. Tabor requests that the RAL pool not be filled in as she is a regular aqua exercise participant. Tabor brings up the growing demographics in the area as more and more apartment buildings are sprouting in downtown Iowa City, and how it would be a bad idea to remove these opportunities downtown. Susan Mellecker states that swimming is lifelong sport that can be enjoyed by the entire family. Mellecker refers to the disparity in usage numbers and details that there were 22 people in RAL pool that morning, made up of 2 lap swimmers, 2 in the deep water well, and 18 attending aquacise, which Mellecker describes as typical. Mellecker points out that the pool has only been open for 11 months since closing due to COVID and only now are people starting to come back to the pool and group fitness. Mellecker talks about Ed Stone, who once campaigned to keep Iowa City School District from building a third high school and coined the term "Two Fine Schools". Mellecker announces a new campaign called "Three Fine Pools". Mellecker believes that City Park Pool can be accommodated to include features for young families, such as a ladder & slide, and a zero -depth while maintaining the aesthetics and footprint of the pool. Mellecker is bothered by the perception that the Commission thinks their votes does not matter and that City Council will have the final say. Amy Kretkowski is an avid swimmer at RAL Pool and City Park Pool. Kretkowski reiterates Crain's point of making a schedule showing how realistic it would be to move indoor swimming to MPAC pool. Kretkowski brings up that between CPP and RAL Pool there are 15 lap lanes, which would be reduced to 3 lap lanes which would not be able to accommodate all the lap swimmers. Kretkowski asks if MPAC would be able to accommodate all the swimmers that would come from RAL and CPP during the off - summer seasons and refers to concerns regarding the data of RAL usage numbers. Eleanor Steele comes not as a pool user but as a member of the community living downtown and declares that the RAL pool should remain where it is. Steele asks if things were framed correctly to the consultants. Steele questions if the consultants were asked how to keep the pool and improve upon it or if they entered the space with a preconceived notion. Eleanor quotes Marc Cannon, "You cannot put a price tab on what it means to keep a center in a town. To keep the heart and soul and the gathering space of a downtown". Mitzi Read, a government worker with 23 years of experience, is upset that they feel that they have been lied to in a report stating that the pool repairs will cost $4.5-5 million. Read says that the attendance numbers provided in the Condition of the Pools report are selective and flawed data being provided by the department. Read points to P.82 of the Master Plan Section 4 that describes 293 total visits by swimmers at RAL in May of 2022. Read compares this to P.148 of the condition of the pools which lists that RAL pool had 714 pool passes made. Read asks that the commission not approve any portion of Section 4 until the source of this new data is provided. Note: The Condition of the Pools Report list that there were 714 total admissions into RAL pool, made up of both Total Pass Scans and Day Passes sold in May of 2022. Rachael McPherson has used the RAL Fitness Room for physically therapy and describes positive diversity in that space, in terms of race, age, and the able-bodied. McPherson details that this diversity and the use of the facility by the community for things like birthday parties make the space feel welcoming and safe. McPherson says that will so many old businesses in the downtown area fading away due to rent hikes and new owners not being community minded, the historical value of this building should be considered and remain as a special part of the Iowa City Downtown. McPherson also comments on the Oak Canopy surrounding CPP and asks that the trees not be touched. Johnson makes the clarification that there are no recommendations to close the building itself. The recommendations proposed only pertain to the swimming pool and not the fitness room, the gym, or other provided facilities. Marc Cannon touches on the history of swimming in Iowa City, explaining how the butterfly stroke was created in Iowa City in 1934. Cannon continues that in 1968, Iowa City determined that its community needed three pools, and since then the Iowa City Population has grown 60%. Cannon says that the pool has been reported to have low use, but hours have been cut and hundreds of swimmers haven't been counted during the COVID pandemic. Cannon expresses that despite claims that RAL pool is too expensive to repair, the architects and engineers have said otherwise in the report. Cannon refers to suggestions that there are not enough lifeguards but points out Kate Connell's junior lifeguard program that is a pipeline to lifeguarding jobs, providing 158 lifeguards over the summer. Cannon says that the proposed warm water pool at MPAC is expensive and has limited use and would not fill the needs of Aqua Fitness, which RAL pool already provides at half the cost. Cannon brings up a collection of 500+ signatures who have signed in support of keeping the RAL pool, including the signatures of some downtown business owners. Cannon also says that the pool users bring economic value to the downtown area when they come to RAL pool to swim, which keeps the local culture vibrant and valuable to the community. Cannon questions what will happen when MPAC pool is shut down for maintenance. Cannon concludes that the people would have nowhere to swim. Marcia Goldsborough is a Coralville resident but has been paying the non-resident fees since 2005 as RAL pool is the only deep -water pool in the area. Goldsborough describes how coming to RAL pool is a vital part of maintaining their personal physical health, social contacts, and mental health. Goldsborough reports how they would use the RAL pool every day, Mon -Fri for 90 minutes. Goldsborough explains how MPAC would not meet the needs of deep warm water aerobics as only five feet of water would not be adequate for those with arthritis. Goldsborough adds that her family have gone to City Park Pool since the 80s and that such an incredible resource should be left alone. Carsten Clark recently moved to the Iowa City area and explains how he and his family were attracted to how bike/pedestrian friendly the layout of downtown Iowa City is, with a grocery store, a library, and a pool all within walking distance. Clark describes his apprehension towards having to have to use a car to be able to go to the pool. Clark feels that a pool is more valuable and would draw more of the community in than a grocery store and a library. 2022 REAP GRANT SUBMISSION — HICKORY HILL PARK ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION PHASE 3 — Tv1er Baird Baird details that the Third Phase will focus on the northern half of Hickory Hill Park. Baird says that of the $200,000 that the grant is applying for, $100,000 will be used towards removing invasive plants in 15 acres of savannah and 38.5 acres of woodland followed by replanting of beneficial native species. Baird explains that part of Grant will include improvements of three stream crossings to provide access to Hikers without erosion. The improved stream crossings would also allow more maintenance upkeep in the area and give access for the Fire Department to take their vehicles through the park in the event of an emergency. Chairman Hachtman asks how long it would take receive a response regarding the Submission. Johnson explains that the department should hear back on the grant the third or fourth week of September. Though due to the sensitive information, more would not be released until mid -October. Johnson elaborates that Phase 3 is likely the last phase in the park restoration that has spanned six years. Commissioner Wills asks if Phase 3 consists of the new Hickory Hill Park area and how the status of said area is. Johnson explains that the space's Road and Public Utilities are still waiting to be accepted in development but that another phase is not out of the question once approved. Baird details that the new space does not have as many invasive species as the rest of the park thus restoration will be less expensive RECREATION MASTER PLAN FINAL REVIEWS OF SECTIONS 14 — Brad Barker Barker presents the attached PowerPoint up to `Slide 15' Vice Chairman Odinet requests that the meeting skip to Item 9 as quorum would soon be lost. REPORT ON ITEMS FROM CITY STAFF Item 7 was skipped as quorum would soon be lost. CHAIRS REPORT: Item 8 was skipped as quorum would soon be lost. COMMISSION TIME/SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS: Vice Chairman Odinet asks that for the next agenda, he would like to know about the budget variance issue between $579,000 to nominally fix the pool and the $4,700,000 necessary to fix the pool plus other things. Odinet elaborates that he wants to know how integrated the facility costs are onto each other (i.e., Pool, Roof, Foundation). Johnson replies that this information will be provided. Vice Chairman Odinet refers to the conflict over utilization data and asks how much distance there is between the methodology being used to count the numbers and the data which comes from people who are in the pool. Odinet asks if this distance be closed to get a more accurate account of the details as much of the argument is that the pool gets used a lot and can be justified, based on how much it gets used to invest more money. Johnson comments that the reason why the department started recording only lap lane numbers from RAL was because 2 months prior, the biggest concern was about how the lap lanes are always full and MPAC would not be able to take on the number of lap swimmers. Johnson explains that since the public was saying that numbers from the front desk counter weren't accurate, staff started taking snapshots of actual lap swim numbers using security cameras at specific times each day. Johnson further elaborates that since the security cameras can only consistently see the lap lanes of RAL pool, only the lap swimmers using the lanes are being counted using the cameras. Commissioner Forbes refers to comments and questions regarding diversity of populations and asks if there is data of diverse populations coming to utilizing the facility as a centrally located area. Johnson replies that aquatics staff report that they see more diverse groups at Mercer. Commissioner Moore asks if there are any quick fixes that can be done for the pickleball courts. Johnson details a 2023 project for improving the pickleball courts. The project will have approximately $175,000 for improving the tennis courts at both City Park and Mercer Park, and an additional $950,000 for athletic and baseball field improvements. Baird details what Parks staff have recently done to help the pickleball courts, including the installation of new windscreens and slats, actively spraying the courts for wasps and filling cracks.

The memo covers topics and questions posed by the public through emails, written correspondence, and public comment at both the Commission and City Council meetings. First a review of timeline of vision and "next steps" as recommended in draft plan: a. Recreation Program Recommendations — Commission review complete. Feedback gathered from the public input processes is being used immediately to help shape current and future programming by the Recreation Division. b. Athletic Fields — Commission review complete. Based on the priorities recommended in the report the City will focus on renovations of current athletic fields before pursuing a new athletic complex. Mercer Baseball Fields and Pickleball/Tennis courts are scheduled as a CIP project for 2023. c. City Park Pool — Commission review complete. i. Agree that City Park Pool needs to be fully renovated. The public sentiment along with mature tree canopy and parking availability leads this to be a new pool design contained within the fence of the current pool. ii. There seemed to be consensus to keep the pool more traditional than "water park like". Feedback received regarding the concept design presented with the preliminary plan will be a starting point for future design. iii. A separate City Park Pool design process should be commissioned to build upon the input received in this plan to create a final pool design and budget to renovate City Park Pool in 2025. Mercer/Scanlon Recreation Center— September 14 Agenda i. Build upon public input asking for indoor walking track, gym space, warm water pool and additional indoor wellness space to consider an addition(s) to the Mercer/Scanlon Facility. ii. Engage in a separate design and funding process to build upon the input received in this plan to create renovation/expansion plans for this facility after 2025. e. Robert A. Lee Recreation Center — September 14 Agenda i. Depending upon outcomes of previous two items, plan for the future of Robert A. Lee Recreation Center through a separate public input process. ii. Recommend continuing to gather and report use numbers for at least one full year before addressing a final recommendation. III. Agree that the future of Robert A. Lee pool depends upon decisions made regarding additional aquatic space at Mercer, or a new facility at another location, or a full-scale renovation at Robert A Lee. iv. Invest in Robert A. Lee Pool only to keep serviceable and operating until final plans are made regarding all aquatic facilities. Public comments and concerns about use statistics for Robert A. Lee pool. As the recommendations for Mercer and RALRC pool are long term, there is time to track actual use of these spaces each month for the next year. Staff recommends that this be done and reported to the Commission each month. Additional data will then be available for future decisions. After monitoring for the past few months, staff believes that the Activenet software counts for pool users and class enrollments provide the most accurate count for number of pool users. a. Statistics in the July Aquatics Report show both number of unique pass users and total number of pass scans. This is to show how many people use each pool as well as the total number of visits. b. Why use security cameras to count lap swim users at RALRC? Staff started using snapshots of predetermined times to count actual number of lap swimmers in the water because members of the pubic challenged the validity of the front counter check -ins for the pool. I. The snapshots are just that - snapshots of the lap lanes at regular intervals that allow staff to count the number of people using the lap lanes. The cameras only provide an accurate view of the north % of the lap lanes, not the wading pool, diving well or SW corner of the pool as may be used by water exercisers. The use of this tool was to demonstrate actual use of the lap lanes, not full use of the pool. ii. Staff will provide both the RALRC Lap Lane snap shot counts, the hourly check in numbers from the customer service desk, and aqua fitness class enrollments each month as part of the Parks & Recreation Commission Packet. c. Are the actual front desk check -ins really inaccurate? Maybe by a few swimmers here and there, but not dramatically. Especially at RALRC, customer service staff and lifeguards know most people who use the pool. Sometimes pass holders don't scan in for various reasons, but this isn't an everyday occurrence. People other than swimmers may use the locker rooms at RALRC for free. It is possible that some may enter the pool to swim, but this doesn't seem to be the case. d. Residents have stopped in to visually count lap swimmers on some afternoons at Mercer. They report very few people in the water. Exactly - this is one of the reasons that staff believes that having only one of the two indoor pools open during this time provides adequate space for lap swimmers. e. "Full Lap Lanes" - Residents claim the lap lanes are "busy" or "full". This may be a question of the definition of "full or busy". Staff believes that a 25-yard lap lane should easily be able to accommodate more than one swimmer at a time. It is not uncommon in public pools to have swimmers share lap lanes with one or more other swimmers. Lap lanes at each pool: 1. RALRC a. 25 yard swim lanes when no aqua fitness or general swimmers — 6 Lap Lanes b. 25 yard swim lanes during shallow water aqua fitness or open swim times — 3 Lap Lanes. 2. Mercer — a. 50 M set up — 8 Lap Lanes b. 25 M set up —16 lap lanes. 3. City Park Pool - a. 50 M — 8-9 Lap Lanes b. 25 M — 3 Lap Lanes during open swim What about Aqua Fitness Attendance Counts? ii. Aqua Fitness Classes are tracked through their class registration numbers, just as swimming lessons and other recreation fee -based classes are tracked. These registration numbers are now being reported each month in the Parks & Recreation Commission packet. ill, Drop -ins? Members of the public have voiced concerns that not all aqua fitness participants are being tracked as some participants pay a daily or monthly fee for each class. Daily and Monthly drop in totals for each month are listed below. However, it should be noted that monthly pass sales increased significantly at the end of August. Reporting of this will need to be adjusted. 1. Jan 2022 13 2. Feb 2022 8 3. Mar 2022 23 4. Apr 2022 22 5. May 2022 11 6. June 2022 19 7. July 2022 10 iv. Drop -ins are tracked in total for the month, not according to the specific class they attend. This means that in the month of June, when 48 class times were held, there was an average of .4 additional participants per class and in July with 32 class times there was an average of .6 additional participants per class. What about swimming lesson attendance? Yes, this is tracked and happens at all three pool locations. Changes to RALRC would only be recommended if another location provides adequate space for this program. What about special events and lifeguard training attendance? Also tracked separately from lap and open swim attendance. The primary lifeguard training that happens at RALRC is only specific to lifeguards working at this pool. Red Cross classes are typically held at Mercer due to the size of the facility and, specifically, the size of the deep water. Notes Concerning Master Plan Process: a. Completing a wide-ranging, community involved Master Plan during the COVID pandemic has been challenging. Staff, consultants, steering committee, Commission and the public have largely relied on Zoom meeting, emails, file shares, phone calls, and few in person meetings throughout the year -long process. Along the way, nearly every key person involved has been unexpectedly sidelined by COVID or other family health needs in a way not normally encountered. This has led to many delayed timelines for reports and presentations. Although this has been difficult to navigate, staff is confident that the extra time needed will result in an accurate and cohesive planning document which will guide Iowa City Recreation Program and Facility decisions for future years. b. Public input has been gathered in many different formats. Public discourse continues regarding the plan. It has been difficult to fully understand and respond to the public's understanding and misunderstanding of the data and conclusions presented. This document along with staff meeting with the group "Friends of Robert A. Lee Pool" is meant to help bridge this gap, answer concerns and provide insight into the data and information used to arrive at the plan's vision for the future. c. The 2022 Recreation Facilities and Program Master Plan started as a broad question of "What can ICPR do to better meet the recreation needs of Iowa City Residents along with a specific question of "What does the future of CPP look like?" There were considerable outreach efforts to learn from resident both who use ICPR facilities and those that don't currently use the facilities. There was a statistically valid survey and many opportunities for any person who wished to provide feedback. d. The most accurate information concerning the views of the entire community is the Statistically Valid Survey. Public input, especially in the second round of public input seems to be primarily from active, engaged user of current facilities, rather the voices of non -users which may have been heard more clearly during the first phase. e. The planning process pointed out both low use and high anticipated repair/renovation costs for Robert A. Lee Pool. Since there is another option for indoor pool use in downtown Iowa City at the University facility, the plan asked the question of what other recreation uses could make this space at Robert A. Lee a more vibrant recreation amenity for the community? The plan acknowledges that the water space is needed — particularly warm water space and recommends that this be added to the Mercer facility before RALRC would be decommissioned. Decommissioning Robert A. Lee is only recommended if the warm water pool space can be provided in a different location. f. Concerns that non -current users of RALRC voiced about the facility during public input: i. Lack of free parking. ii. Non -controlled locker rooms (access without walking past a security point). Some people said they don't feel safe in RALRC locker rooms. The locker rooms are also free for use by non -swimmers. iii. Difficulty in accessibility of building entrance, locker rooms and getting in/out of the water. Difficulty driving to downtown location. iv. Not enough shallow area for aqua fitness classes. g. Why one indoor facility at Mercer instead of two indoor locations? Maintaining two full indoor aquatic facilities at two different locations is more expensive based more upon equipment, utility use, chemical costs and staff coverage - Lifeguards, supervisor, and maintenance personnel. In addition, there is another, newer indoor pool available downtown to residents (University wellness center) a. Combined use statistics at Mercer and RALRC suggest that all users could be accommodated at one indoor facility. In addition, the University of Iowa facility is also available to Iowa City residents. Estimated Renovation/Expansion Costs — The scope of the Master Plan was to provide design schematics and repair estimates. Much more detailed investigation of current conditions and architectural designs would be needed to arrive at actual construction costs. The public is asking for specifics and answers that are beyond the scope of the Master Plan. a. There are many terms used both in the Master Plan reports and the August 81' letter that have different meaning based upon interpretation: i. "Reasonable" ii. "Fair Condition" iii. "Many years" b. WT Group Report I. "it is unknown what the demolition cost will be and could significantly impact the probable cost estimate." ii. Estimates do not include engineering fees, mobilization costs or 2021 estimates with no escalation calculations for future year constructions. iii. The estimate for surge tank and filters does not include architectural changes and project fees needed to modernize the current filter room. c. Having a project in the CIP budget serves as a planning tool. The Master Plan process was meant to "double check" that the item prioritized in the budget are in an order that makes the most sense for serving our community's recreation needs. d. Staff continues to be concerned that the estimates made for the RALRC pool were not accurate to existing conditions of the pool. The most expensive items of replacing the piping and reworking the piping to isolate the baby pool are listed as "needs further investigation" as the consultant was not comfortable with actual costs due to age and the depth/reinforced type of cement found in other areas of the RALRC building, The prices are for more of an "ideal" replacement situation, which the RALRC building, is not. e. The size and shape of both the RALRC pool area and accessory spaces (mechanical room, locker rooms and staff space) limit the type and scope of renovations. Report estimates for the filter and surge tank may not recognize the constraints presented by current building conditions. Additional structural analysis will need to be completed for the building foundation and structures before accurate renovation/construction estimates are made RALRC Price Estimates i. WT Group — Remedial Repairs Sept 2021 1. Priority 1 - $344,000 (+$650,000 in CIP Budget) 2. Did not include locker rooms or architectural items identified in Williams Architects portion of report. 3. Does not include needed HVAC or dehumidification equipment ($1,068,921.00 for Mercer in 2019) ii. Williams Architects — Sept 2021 1. Priority 1 — 2022 $301,570 2. Priority 2 — 2026 $1,662,069 3. Priority 3 — 2026-2031 $2,151,585 4. Priority 4 — 2032+ 5. Total - $5,000,227 iii. OPN Architects — 2018 Estimates for 2019 Construction 1. RALRC Pool Acoustic Panels - $53,678 2. RALRC Locker Room Renovation - $830,451 iv. Williams Architects — May 2022 Estimates (2024 Construction) 1. Mercer Addition - $9,044,988 (includes pool addition, locker room renovation, fitness room, party rooms, staff office, lobby, lobby restrooms and front entrance renovations) 2. RALRC Pool and Locker Rooms Renovation - $5,039,293 (pool stays the same, does not address roof replacement, lower level hallway, or building lobby) v. Williams Architects —August 2022 Estimates (2024 Construction) 1. Replace RALRC Pool with Multi -purpose Gym Space - $2,279,804 2. Replace RALRC Pool with new Pool and Hot Tub (2024 Construction) - $3,442,782 (Pool only, no change to locker room or any other building area) 3. Replace RALRC Pool with Indoor Pickleball Courts (2024 Construction) - $2,064,796 4. Replace RALRC Pool with Indoor Turf/Climbing Wall (2024 Construction) - $2,165,318 Concerns that Closing of RALRC pool would be detrimental to the vibrancy of Downtown Iowa City. a. The master plan suggests that there may be other uses of the pool space that would meet more unmet needs to the downtown -revitalizing both the recreation center and the downtown vibe. Indoor court space, pickleball, roller skating, indoor skate park, and art/STEAM space are all recreational needs that have user demand which may lead to more users per week than the current pool with much less on -going capital and operating cost. b. The closing is ONLY recommended if additional warm water pool space is added to Mercer or provided at another location. A new warm water pool could also be constructed within the current RALRC space, but the space is not large enough to provide for the same uses envisioned at a new facility. What can citizens do who are concerned about the future of Robert A. Lee? a. Swim and exercise at RALRC pool! Encourage others to swim at RALRC pool. b. Check in at Customer Service desk when using facility. c. Continue to dialogue with Commission, Council and City staff to present accurate information for advocacy. TO: Parks & Recreation Commission FROM: Jul! Seydell Johnson, Director of Parks and Recreation DATE: September 7, 2022 RE: Happy Hollow Park Review of Public Input and Recommendation to City Council Earlier this summer, the City Council asked staff to host a public input meeting at Happy Hollow Park in preparation for 2024 playground renovations and, specifically, to ask neighbors of the park about the future of the ballfield. Snyder and Associates was contracted to host this public meeting on Tuesday, August 9 from 6:30 —8:00 p.m. in the park. The meeting was held in conjunction with the Rec'N'Roll event that night. 600 postcards were mailed inviting all residents within .5 mile of the park to attend and an on-line survey was available for 10 days following the event. Recreation staff also reached out directly to our youth sport associations to gage their interest in the field. Public comments from recent effort with park neighbors lean toward a desire to have the skinned baseball field replaced. The question regarding the future of the ballfield was brought forward by City Councilor, John Thomas. The ballfield was changed from a "skinned" (gravel) infield to a grass infield in 2019 following a similar public input meeting. The decision was based on the following: • Low recorded use of the field by rental groups and baseball leagues. The primary user at the time was and remains the Parks & Rec T-ball league. The park is only large enough for the youngest of baseball teams to play. In addition, there were public requests for soccer goals and more open play space. • All other t-ball fields in the City are grass. (Court Hill, Willow Creek, Mercer) McphePsoy% • Maintaining a stand-alone skinned baseball field requires both staff and equipment to be transported to the site from one of the athletic complexes each time the field needs maintenance. Having a grass infield allows the general park maintenance crew to do the work. The Commission is asked to review the public input and staff reports, then make a recommendation to the Council. The park playground renovations are scheduled for the summer of 2024. That would be the least impactful time to make changes to the ballfield, if desired. The Commission may also recommend no changes or to make the change sooner than 2024, r -4 CITY OF IOWA CITY �l�� MEMORANDUM Date: June 2, 2022 To: Mayor and Council From: Geoff Fruin, City Manager Re: Happy Hollow Park Ballfield Update In 2020, the City converted the balifield located at Happy Hollow Park from a dirt infield to an all grass playing surface. A memo that was provided to the City Council in June of 2020 is attached for additional background. Ultimately, the City Council concurred with staffs recommendation that the playing surface should remain grass, but that a reversion back to dirt infield could be revisited with the planned playground upgrade at the park. Recently, Councilor Thomas requested an update from staff on this situation. Since the memo in 2020, there have been a few notable updates: • The planned playground replacement project at Happy Hollow Park was moved from 2023 to 2024 in the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Along with this move the project budget was increased from $150,000 to $175,000 to accommodate a potential field conversion and inflation. Revisiting the surfacing of the field would be done in conjunction with the standard neighborhood meeting that is conducted a year before the scheduled CIP project (2023 in this situation). • Smaller improvements to Happy Hollow Park have been completed since 2020 that are in alignment with the public feedback that was received during the 2019 input session. Those include eight new trees added to the park, a resurfacing of the basketball court and a second basketball hoop added to the court (and subsequently replaced after vandalism). The Parks and Recreation Department has not received ongoing comments about the playing surface at Happy Hollow Park. T-ball continues to use the field on a regular basis and community groups such as the Iowa Writer's Workshop still utilize the field. Staff has observed steady use of the soccer goals that were added in 2020. Use of those goals often coincides with t-ball practice times but could not occur with older teams that need to utilize outfield spaces. At this time, staff believes the conversion has been positive in several respects. It has created maintenance efficiencies and helped to introduce broader uses to the park (soccer, frisbee, football, kite flying, etc.). Use of the field for youth t-ball is still strong. The surfacing of the field aligns with the treatment of other similar fields at Court Hill, James Alan McPherson, Mercer and Willow Creek parks. Should there be a desire to upgrade the field and maintenance expectations at one of these parks, the Council may wish to consider equitable upgrades at some or all of these similarly situated fields. r CITY OF IOWA CITY MEMORANDUM Staff now estimates that the grass field saves roughly $12,000 in maintenance costs per year. To convert one field from grass to a dirt infield will cost roughly $10,000 and possibly more if contracted out. The savings in staff time helps us maintain our existing sport complexes (Napoleon, Mercer, City and Kicker's) at a higher level which benefits tens of thousands of users each year. Staff plans to proceed with the neighborhood meeting in 2023 in advance of the playground replacement scheduled for 2024. At that time, the City Council can consider converting the field back to a dirt infield with the playground replacement project should there be a desire to do so. If the Council wants to proceed with converting the field back this year or next, staff will need that explicit direction and will subsequently prioritize that work accordingly utilizing existing operational funds. Attachment: June 2020 Memo [Previously distributed in 06/25/2020 Info Packet: IP41 Item Number: 4. od`r =w ;its '+®'mom Cm o[ IOWA CITY www. cgov.org June 25, 2020 Memo from Parks & Recreation Director: Happy Hollow Park Baseball Field Infield Conversion ATTACHMENTS: Description Memo from Parks & Recreation Director: Happy Hollow Park Baseball Field Infield Conversion TO: Geoff Fruin, City Manager FROM: Juli Seydell Johnson, Director of Parks & Recreation DATE: June 24, 2020 RE: Happy Hollow Park Baseball Field Infield Conversion This memo provides background information concerning the conversion of the Happy Hollow baseball field from a skinned infield to a turf infield, A concern was raised by Council member Thomas who sought input from others in the Happy Hollow neighborhood and summarized that for staff. Council member Thomas has requested that staff convert the field back to a skinned infield. The change to the Happy Hollow baseball infield supports three items from the Council's strategic goals: 1. Promote Racial and Social Equity— this change provides equity throughout the park system as it makes this field the same as four other similar fields located in other neighborhoods of the City. The change was made after receiving neighborhood input at a community meeting held at the park. The specific question of what the field surface should be was not asked, but the project was the outgrowth of neighborhood requests for additional multi -purpose field space and ongoing concerns about the aesthetics and safety of the infield since it often had weeds. 2. Promote Environmental Sustainability— changing to a grass infield allows the same park maintenance crew that maintains the rest of the park to maintain the field. Previously, a separate crew would need to travel from one of the athletic fields with equipment to provide maintenance to the skinned infield. 3. Fiscal Responsibility — the change to a grass infield saves the city an estimated $15,000 per year. The field is still appropriate for use for the t-ball program, shelter rentals, team practices, and recreational games. A community meeting was held in conjunction with the July 11, 2019, Party in the Park at Happy Hollow. The following items were reported to the City Manager and initiated following this meeting; • Request for soccer goals in open field. (Completed summer 2019) • Concerns about condition of ballfield. Field to be renovated over the winter with infield converted to a grass infield matching other recreational fields in the park system. (completed spring of 2020) • Concerns about cars pulling onto the grass. Limestone blocks to be placed this fall. (Completed fall 2019) • Requests for additional trees. Three additional trees to be planted this fall or early spring. (Additional trees planted fall 2019) More after location of renovated playground is determined for the budgeted 2023 project. • Improve conditions of basketball court. Staff pursuing bidding renovations of the court along with similar project for Court Hill Park basketball court in Spring 2020. Funding from neighborhood donations. (Currently out for bid.) • Hill for sledding — Staff mowed the hillside in the fall. The leading reasons for the change were the requests for more varied use of the open spaces at the park and the on -going challenge of maintaining a single skinned field away from the main baseball complex. In addition, the field is primarily used for recreational sports. Similar recreation fields at Mercer Park, Kiwanis/Willow Creek Park, Court Hill and Creekside Park all have grass Infields. This change to a turf infield provides a better, safer, and more efficiently maintained playing surface for the younger age group serviced by this field size. The primary user of the field is the City's Recreation Division t-ball teams. The increase in turf provides for more varied recreational opportunities such as flag football, soccer, and ultimate frisbee. The Happy Hollow ballfield was the only ballfield outside of the four Athletic complexes that had a skinned infield. Being an outlier ballfield that saw less use than other ballfields, coupled with limited chemical use policy, staff found it challenging to keep the field weed -free and in playable condition. The poor condition of the field was a source of complaints both from users of the fields as well as residents concerned about the aesthetics of the park. A chart at the end of this memo shows the difference in cost to maintain the field with a skinned infield versus a grass infield. Between April and August of 2019, there were 24 uses of the field by Recreation Division T-Ball,15 uses by Little Hawks Baseball teams, 16 uses by other travel baseball teams, and 1 event rental (Iowa Writer's Workshop). Dispersed throughout the City s four Athletic complexes are 16 ballfields with ag-lime skinned infields and the same base dimensions as Happy Hollow. There is enough capacity at these facilities to accommodate the rentals that were taking place previously at Happy Hollow. T-Ball will continue at Happy Hollow and the field will be available and appropriate for a range of users. Council member Thomas has asked whether a hybrid model with skinned areas around each base would be a good "middle ground" for this field. Consulting with the Iowa Sports Turf Managers Association staff found no "hybrid" models known in the state. This is likely because a "hybrid" field is even harder to maintain than a fully "skinned" field, limits ability to change base lengths, and the operational inputs and equipment necessary to maintain hybrid field vs a fully "skinned" field would be the same. Council direction is requested for next steps by staff 1. Leave Happy Hollow baseball field as -is with a grass infield. 2. Convert the field back to a skinned infield and maintain at higher level for increased playability for youth sport teams. 3. Convert the field to a hybrid dirt/grass field immediately. 4. Explore partnership with youth baseball/softball groups for assistance with reconversion of field and/or conversion of similar fields at Mercer, Creekside, Willow Creek, and Court Hill parks. 5. Conduct a survey to get input from neighborhood and youth sports associations. 6. Wait and discuss with the neighborhood in conjunction with planning the scheduled 2023 playground replacement project. Staff recommends that the City wait and determine any changes to the field in conjunction with the planned 2023 playground replacement project. Planning for that project including a neighborhood outreach session will take place in 2022.

I would be happy to put a notice of your public Input session on our web page. — Barb Kamber, Administrator Iowa City Girls Softball "We have never used that park (wasn't quite sure where it was) and do not have any plans to do so. I guess we do not have any preference one way or the other." - Todd Kruse, President Iowa City Bovs Baseball "My opinion is a bit on the personal side as I live really close to Happy Hollow and we were very disappointed when the ballfield was taken away. We (I have a 7 year old) had been going there every Sunday and on occasion during the week. That being said, I know that some peewee age games were being played but not much else. I think if the field were put back into play, an outfield fence would make that park very attractive as an alternate site for games or practice. Either way, a skinned field would definitely be better than the current state. For ICBB, our registrations are strong and our need for that field would probably only be in April. I hope that helps and would be willing to talk more about it if you'd like. If there isn't an outfield field, I don't think ICBB would utilize it." — Brian Ties, Vice President, Board of Directors Little Hawks Baseball "Little Hawks would love to have this field be available for baseball again. While the city has fields we don't have multiple fields at all ages and distances. Having a field for our younger 6/7/8 year olds would take the strain off the scheduling Issues at City Park. Unless the city has plans to expand other parks or build a new baseball facility every field is essential. It also would be better for the city rec programs to have another field for practice. If this field was brought back our club would love to have discussions about performing some maintenance to help keep the field up to playing condition, if it becomes a staffing issue for the City. We'd love to be a part of any discussions about this field or any other options. Due to Iowa City Boys Baseball having a stranglehold on City Park we can not truly grow our club due to field restraints and handshake agreements with our teams to not fight for fields in Coralville and north liberty. We don't want a City High feeder program to practice outside of Iowa City but our options are getting slim." —Alan Eckhardt, Board of Directors RedZone Football "I'm not aware of any teams that practice at Happy Hollow, though it's not impossible as I don't know where every one of them does practice. I don't know that RedZone would have a need for the park in it's current state. If it had lights and could fit a couple of our game fields, that would be more considerable for our needs during the fall season." - Tyler Blum, Head Coach HAPPY HOLLOW PARK PUBLIC MEETING REPORT Iowa City, Iowa I August 15, 2022 �JNYDER aassaciarEs SNYDER &ASSOCIATES 1OWA I MISSOURI I NEBRASKA I SOUTH DAKOTA I WISCONSIN 8N HAPPY HOLLOW PARK PUBLIC MEETING REPORT Meeting Date: August 9, 2022 Prepared for: Parks & Recreation Department City of Iowa City Juli Seydell Johnson 220 S.

At this event, the Parks and Recreation Department wanted to receive public comments and input on the park and any desired park improvements. A one -page questionnaire was made available for public comments to be written along with an aerial image of the park. The following is a summary of comments received. 1. Name: John Thomas Address: 509 Brown St. Phone: 319-338-1841 Email: jQhnfrQ I rigtl�gmas gmail_.;,can Playground Input: Tall swings, facing the field. Seating around the Hackberry. Tall circular slide, integrated into stricture, which features natural materials. Circular whirl wf net climbing is popular, space efficient play piece. Baseball Field input: Restore infield. Happy Hollow was the only neighborhood park wl an infield in Iowa City. Cities typically have a combination of complexes and neighborhood ballfields {with skinned infields} to address full spectrum of ball play, from organized play to practice pickup games, group organizations, etc. That's how Happy Hollow's ballfield functioned. Site Amenities Input: Benches; moveable seating could be tree stumps at seat height; seasonable mid story trees; explore potential of natural area. May need more trash receptables i r groups are large. 2. Name: None Address: None Phone: None Email: None Playground Input: Skating rink Baseball Field Input: None Site Amenities Input: None 3. Name: None Address: None Phone: None Email: None Playground Input: Agility course for older kids and swings. Baseball Field Input: None Site Amenities Input: None 4. Name: Jake Biger Address: 519 N. Johnson St. Phone: 319-321-8521. Email: jackiehockett@gmail.com Playground Input: It mostly does! Love climbing and slides and the soccer nets. ivly favorite tree in IC lives here! We love the play structure; but all nature scape with layers of water play would be cool. Actual wood and multiple layers of play for high and low play — climbing eaves and ropes. Baseball Field Input: I would love to see the skinned infield back! It made it feel special for t-ball, kickball, etc. Plenty of grass left. S NY D E R-ASSOCIATES.COM Happy Hollow Park 14 - S1'3924�"aC'31'Ya0.3 Site Amenities Input: Additional seating. Benches by b-ball hoop — adjustable hoops on both hoops. Bike parking, recycling! 5. Name: Sarah Clark Address: 509 Brown St. Phone: 319-594-1683 Email: selark52245@gmail.com Playground Input: Every playground needs a swing! The rope structures offer a variety of play in a relatively small space (e,g, the Christmas tree shaped structure), so adding something in that vein would be good. Baseball Field Input: Unfortunately, we can't really call the current field a balliield — it's a grass field with a backstop. I played in (and watched) many ballgames at this park in the 1980s — I can't imagine what it would be like to try to do that in its current version, This town needs at least one real balliield that isn't located in a sports complex, Kids (nor adults) won't go to sports complexes to play catch or a pickup game. That sort of ball play happens in neighborhood parks. Putting back the skinned infield does not preclude the other uses. Site Amenities Input: Seating is always important, Flexible seating is best — seating so people can view the playground and the field. Maybe a nice wooden bench that encircles the large tree next to the playground. Introduce a few playful seating elements like the tree stumps. Additional trash receptacles would be good because some of the shelter reservations generate a fair amount of refuse and one receptacle is not sufficient.. I live nearby so wouldn't need it, but bike rack would be a welcome addition. Older kids would bike here more readily if there was a good way to secure their bikes. 6. Name: Jacqueline Briggs Address: 328 Brown St. Phone: 319-321-7627 Email: jackiebriggs aearthlink,net Playground Input: None Baseball Field Input: Would like to see the baseball field upgraded again. And would like to see some sort of soccer amenities, Site Amenities Input: More benches by the tree edges. 7. Name: Mary Lu Callahan Address: 824 N. Gilbert St. Phone: 319-6214157 Email- marylucall@gmail.com Playground Input: A zip line like RFX park. Very fun for all ages! Baseball Field Input: None Site Amenities Input: None 8. Name: Ben Landsee Address: 621 N, Johnson St, Phone: 319-499-5060 Email: bennylandsee cr gmail,com Playground Input: Tall swings! Zipline, Union Park in Des Moines has some excellent playground structures that would be perfect here! My kids love this park in the woods too! SNYOER-ASSOC[AT ES.COM Happy I-tollow Park 15 Baseball Field Input: I play soccer on the field, we also toss frisbees. I ant in favor of bringing back the infield! Site Amenities Input: None 9. Name. Christina Welu-Reynolds Address: 619 Brown St. Phone: 319-337-9763 Email: cliriswelti@giiiail.com Playground Input: Larger, more up-to-date play equipment, a few more benches for parents/guardians to watch kids while playing on the equipment. Baseball Field Input: I loved hearing the baseball games from my yard. I liked the field as a baseball diamond. I thought it brought more people to the neighborhood that had not been here before. The prairie grasses/flowers are a great addition but not sure if it would cause issues for players. I'm not sure if parking was an issue for families. Site Amenities Input: The new pavilion and restrooms were a great addition. A bike rack and another garbage receptacle would be nice. When people rent the pavilion, they often have to set the garbage next to a lull receptacle. 10. Name: Nancy Thompson Address: 827 Brown St. Phone: 319-512-9128 Email: nancy-thompson(a uiowa,edu Playground Input: Current playground meets my needs. Baseball Field Input: Keep the use of the baseball field for softball only. Hard balls fly further and negatively impact our house. Perhaps reposition the field so it points to the SW more than directly south. Site Amenities Input: Render the section north of the park cleaner. No trash, maintain places for sledding in winter. It. Name: Thomas Callahan Address: 618 N. Gilbert St. Phone:319-621-0814 Email: root@thomas-callahan.com Playground Input: 1. Does the current playground meet your needs: Yes. 2. Any preferences or thoughts for future playground: A 5 ft climbing wall is a waste of space. Baseball Field Input: Please remember the college kids when considering the ballpark. They use it. Let them use it. Keep a functional baseball field. Site Amenities Input: Restrooms, which currently exist. Bike racks, which don't. 12. Name: Michael. Fallon Address: 804 Ronalds St. Phone: 319-331-9543 Email: mjfjr@yahoo.com Playground Input: The current play structure has been fun and useful for our children for 15 years. It is fun for younger children. For older kids, it's not that useful. Teenagers, pre -teens and older kids need active play equipment like ziplines and climbing structures. SNYDER-ASSOCI ATE S. GO Happy Hollow Park 16 ts".�rarsexnse�ezx�:.m ra,-s; �-: u Baseball Field Input: Our family has used the bb field over the past 15 years, both w/a dirt infield and grass space. Both are fine w/ us. We use the open space for soccer practice much more than bb. We'd like to see the space used for soccer and other sports. Site Amenities Input: Permanent grills (outdoor), recycling bind, permanent soccer goals & sledding hills. In the winter HH park is a big sledding destination. Removing trees along the hillslope and creating a nice sledding hill would be great, 13. Name: Rachel Berger Address: 611 N. Governor St. Phone: 319.343-7340 Email: Racheliza@hotmail.co.uk Playground Input: The native playground looks great. The needs could meet children with disabilities better. We love Happy Hollow Park though! Baseball Field Input: It is a great space. Knowledge about any teams/clubs that play here would be good. Site Amenities Input: Appreciate the bathroom! More trash cans. Benches around the playground. 14. Name: Gilad Jaffe Address: 425 E. Jefferson St., Apt. 2 Phone: 917-650-9099 Email: giladrjaffe@gmail.com Playground Input: None Baseball Field Input: Unfortunately, it does not. I am one of the organizers of the Iowa Writer's Workshop's annual softball game and we were all very disappointed to see that the infield has been filled with grass, rather than infield dirt. As a result, we faced a number of dicey scenarios when it came to softball taking dangerous hops on inexperience infielders, if for safety along, I and the entire Iowa Writer's Workshop believe the field should be tilled with dirt/sand once again. Especially that the Happy Hollow field is and has been for some time the only public baseball/softball field on the north side. Thank you far considering this important proposal. Site Amenities Input: None 15. Name: Evan Goldstein Address: 941 Webster Street Phone: 316-329-6232 Email. goldsteinc�ki,gmail.com Playground Input: None Baseball Field Input: The current baseball field is unsafe because the infield dirt was allowed to grow in. As a member of the Iowa Writer's Workshop, we use the ballfield every spring to practice for and play our annual softball game in tradition we have for decades. In its current state, the field is dangerous because balls with the grass tend the jump unexpectedly. The infield should be ballfield with sand to make the ballfield safe for children and inexperienced players. We use it, and we rely on the City to provide and maintain safe, public parks. This is the only possible field in Iowa City that anyone can walk on and play, as it should be safe to do so for all. Site Amenities Input: None 16. Name: Derek Pardie / Selma Vital SNY DER-ASSCCIATES.0 0M Happy [-follow Park 17 Address: 1006 N. Dodge Street Phone: None Email: srsvital@ginail.com Playground Input: A mixture of agility and music design would be appreciated. Baseball Field Input: None Site Amenities Input: Bike racks, trash/recycling receptacles and water fountains are definitely useful. 17. Name: Lisa Heineman Address: 729 Ronalds St Phone: 319-321-1223 Email: lisa.heineman]945@gmaii.com Playground Input: Current playground is... ok. Not much there to hold the interest of kids above 5 or so. I like practically anything other than prefab pieces assembled into a "typical playground". Native playground is great (unless it's plastic in the shape of trees). Music, agility ... all great. Please consider shade and interest for older kids. Water play would be amazing — many German playgrounds integrate a pump. Baseball Field Input: Take some of the space for expanded playground — do native and music and agility! I like having the soccer goals there. A spot to shoot hoops would be great (not a full court —just a basket). Neither my kids nor I arehvere baseball people, so I can't speak to that. A zipline would be very popular! Site Amenities Input: Bike racks! Prairie restoration is nice (although neglected was this a covid problem?) I can imagine edible forest elements. 18. Name: Brian & Maggie Dess Address: 61.7 Ronalds St. Phone: None Email: None Playground Input: Not current playground users, but we liked the music themed idea and the more accessible swings. It would be ideal if this could be as accessible a playground as possible; there are more traditional ones nearby. Baseball Field Input: See above (we moved in right before the pandemic), a "skinned" field (fill -size) seems like a good idea. Expanding or upgrading the basketball court would be good too, Site Amenities Input: Maintain current level of tree cover. More seating (non -picnic bench), and ensuring good drainage. Maybe more trash receptacles. 19, Name: Diane Harris Address: 523 Brown St Phone: None Email: cwcrrr@gmail.com Playground Input: Update playground equipment. Would like to have had presentation on discussion about options. Sketches not sufficient. I am disappointed that the City did not hold a neighborhood meeting, which is what the neighbors expected. Impossible to talk over the music. This event diluted the possibility of a neighborhood response. Baseball Field Input: Re -skin baseball field. Happy Hollow was unique neighborhood park for softball. Current sod, etc„ not maintained. How does this event address the concerns about the ball field expressed by the baseball community? I want a skinned field in the neighborhood, as we had for years. SNYDER-ASSOCPATES.COM Happy Hollow Park 18 Site Amenities Input: Perhaps a second trash can when parties are scheduled at the shelter. Love the re- done bathroom. 20. Name: Sharon DeGraw Address: 519 Brown Street Phone: 319-936-0021 Email: sharondegriw@yahoo.com yahoo.com Playground Input: The playground is more interesting for 2-5-year-olds. Rope play, rock climbing wall, and especially the nature play look like great additions. Baseball Field Input: We really miss the skinned infield. If there is a way to return that along with an outlet to accommodate a pitching machine. When ballfields are all booked, we go to Weber Elementary and this is just too far when you live on Brown Street and have an "almost ballfield" at Happy Hollow. My son loved playing baseball at Happy Hollow. He also liked the gravel infield for kickball. We think it would be great if the park play program during summer could include some time at Happy Hollow Park. There are some kids who live around HH who would come out of their houses if the park play program was there. Maybe M-W-F at MN SP and Tues & Thurs at HH? That's were my son would have thrived on kickball during the summer. (He was shy to approach the kids living around HH all the way to Hy-vec), Site Amenities Input: Can there be a wooden circular seating (maybe it should be custom building for around the big tree near the playground. It would be nice to watch games and sit under the tree but not facing the playground. That's creepy to face the playground when other peoples' kids are playing and it's nice to sit under the tree. We're so glad to see Happy Hollow Park used a lot since the new pavilion and restroom. Then, after some parties at Dill there can be a lot of overflowing refuse. Is there a way to ask people how large their event is going to bring extra garbage service/bags for people who need it. Then, this isn't exactly park related — it's just outside the boundary. During winter, there is at least one ongoing homeless encampment, which gets a little weird when you want to use the park and there is a fire and strange person in the woods. Sometimes it's a couple. I think it's property owned by the person who owns the abandoned office building. That area is sketchy too — with drug dealing, broken windows. It makes Happy Hollow not exactly the place you want to send your kids without adult supervision. Would the abandoned office building be considered a nuisance property? 21. Name: Matt Drabek Address: 815 N Johnson St. Phone: None Email: matt. drabek@,gmttil.com Playground Input: I enjoyed the rope structure options presented at the event. But I don't have any major needs from the playground. Baseball Field. Input: I currently use it to play catch. But I think it would be best turned into a baseball infield with dirt. It's extremely difficult to play baseball on an all -grass field, i don't need it for soccer, but that could be accommodated at the edges of the park. Site Amenities Input: I think the park could use grills or other food/beverage areas. It feels a bit remote from parts of the neighborhood. Maybe some kind of walking trail or connection to the houses/apartments behind. 22. Name: Andrea Truitt Address: 815 N. Johnson St. 5NY6ER-ASSOCIATES.COM Happy Hollow Park 19 Phone: 319-359-8388 Email: andrea.m.lruitl©gmail.com Playground Input: Yes it does, but I also don't have children, so it's not a priority. I would like to have swings that fit adult hips better (for children of all ages) I would like to comfortably swing. Baseball Field Input: Put the dirt infield back in! If it's going to function properly, it needs dirt, not lawn. Keep the baseball field and do it correctly with a dirt infield. Site Amenities Input: Having accessible swings/for those with disabilities would be great! A bike rack would be helprul too, but I'm not sure how much use it would gel. A grill? 23. Flame: Nora & Jeff Boerner Address: 911 Fairchild St. Phone: 319-621-3107 Email: n-beernerCcigmail,com 1 jeffboemer@gmail.cotn Playground Input. Would love a native based space with challenging rope course. Baseball Field Input: The fence alone seems odd, bases or hybrid option? Site Amenities Input: More benches around the new play space. 24. Name: Eric Gidal Address: 328 Brown St. Phone: 319-354-34 H Email: eric.gidal5@gmail.com Playground Input: I don't have kids who use playgrounds (too old now), but I'd like to see a modern playground with swings and slide kept up to date in the park. Baseball field Input: Again, I don't have kids playing hall or play myself, but if is used to bemn a diamond and if was used regularly by ids in the neighborhood and by organized teams, 1'd like to see it restored. Site Amenities Input: All of them. The shelter is great but could use upgrading. 25. Name: Judy Stephenson Address: 853 Saint Annes Dr. Phone: 319-3214472 Email: judykstephensoii@icloud.com Playground Input: Continue this as a neighborhood park — with a playground that appeals to multiple age groups. I love the pictures of the nature scape playground. Baseball Field Input: Have not used — our children are grown. Site Amenities Input: Appreciate the nice restrooms at the park. 26. Name: Kirsten Callahan Address: 618 N. Gilbert St. Phone: 319-360-5999 Email: krsth3821@gmail.coni Playground Input: More swings, at least one infant/toddler swing. Nature play theme. [.Update basketball court — 2 basketball hoops. Baseball Field Input: Keep baseball field and open space. Site Amenities Input. More benches. ,YDER•A,,,,,ATE, 7. Happy Hollow Park 110 27. Name: Mark. Grulke Address: 1018 N. Gourner? St. Phone: 319-594-9195 Email: mtirk.grtilke@uiowa.edu Playground Input: Playground is a B, could be fancier, but solid. More shade would be good. Baseball Meld Input: No. Have lived I block away for years. Hit infield to my kid for years. Now have to drive to Napoleon to take ground balls. Please bring back the dirt!! All the local softball kids will be happy! Site Amenities Input: Is ok, could use a few more benches. Prairie grass is awesome. 28. Name: Matthiem Biger Address: 519 N Johnson St. Phone: 319-321-7852 Email: mbiger®gmail.com Playground Input: Current play structure is adequate for many ages/abilities; any new one should have this mix w/ challenges build -in. In addition, urban lumber, native playscapes would fit well into woody lot. Baseball Field Input: Skinned field would benefit leagues and unorganized games. There should be still be room for soccer playing. Site Amenities Input: Feature building on winter fun activities (e.g. sledding at S and SE in trees). May snake wilder snow fun safer; a tethered rope or pully system at SE for instance). An edible forest (e.g. service berries, peach...) would add spring color and summer scrumptiousuess. Email Comment Received 8/10/2022: Name: David Hamilton Address: 814 N. Linn St. Phone: None Email: david-hamkon6buiowa.edu My favorite thing there is the grand hackberry tree right by the shelter. It should flourish far longer than you and L. Second, I suppose, is the wide spread of green. One can imagine a meadow even if it isn't quite that. Next is the strip of prairie on south edge. Beautiful, getting better year by year, and saving a lot of dangerous mowing. I'm glad there is a soccer field and a ball diamond. No reason the two can't co -exist. I'd love to see the infield brought back to the diamond. I'd sacrifice a bit of green for that. Who wouldn't prefer to play where a grounder skips across a true infield. That's how you learn to field and throw. The basketball court isn't essential to me, but I see people using it more days than not. And I came by the park almost every day. The playground is relatively new. I expect it can be improved, but not at the expense, I hope, of losing much land. Especially not at the expense of digging into the spreading roots of that grand haekberry tree.

Any preferences or thoughts for future playground improvements? For some reason it seems inaccessible. It's not a playground I think of using often. More likely to go to Market Square Q2 Baseball field input: Does the current baseball field meet your needs? How do you use it: baseball, soccer, open space, etc.? What would make the field and green space more useful? More plantings (shade) and seating other than on the deck. As it stands it is nice for a group event where everyone sits on the picnic tahles, but there aren't areas that a single person can sit and reflect and enjoy the space and the outdoors.

Q2 Baseball field input: Does the current baseball field meet your needs? How do you use it: baseball, soccer, open space, etc.? What would make the field and green space more useful? I know the removal of the "skinned" infield has been an issue for some, but I like the grassed version better. Even before it was sodded over I never once saw teams using the infield (and I'm there a lot). The space is better used for grassy soccer, frisbee, kite flying.

Any preferences or thoughts for future playground improvements? Created as part of en effort to expand parks post -WWII, Happy Hollow park was a focus of outdoor winter activities - not only the sledding that still exists but also a skating rink was installed in the winter and rentals for snow shoes and other winter activities. This park is such a draw in winter as is, I wonder if there's an opportunity to do highlight both that history and its current hub of winter activities. Q2 Baseball field input: Does the current baseball field meet your needs? How do you use it: baseball, soccer, open space, etc.? What would make the field and green space more useful? Please bring back the skinned infield. I've heard from friends and neighbors that they miss having it a local neighborhood park. Including this petition with nearly 500 signatures: https:/Iwww.change.org/p/iowa-city-council-member-restore-happy-hollow-park- ballfield Also well -maintained basketball courts around the city remain popular. This court is in a sorry state and should be improved. Q3 Site Amenities Input: Are there any site amenities that would be useful in the park such as benches, trash receptacles, bicycle racks, signage? It's one of two parks in a historic district (a third is in a conservation district). The site itself was a historic brickyard. The hollow of Happy Hollow as created by the land being taken to make the bricks. The history of the park should be considered in how the park is set-up for the future.

Any preferences or thoughts for future playground improvements? The current playground meets our needs, it does not need to be replaced. M Baseball field input: Does the current baseball field meet your needs? How do you use it: baseball, soccer, open space, etc.? What would make the field and green space more useful? The current baseball field meet our needs, it does not need to be replaced. In fact, I recall the contractor installing the grass surface (turf or sod) only a few years ago. Now, the city wants to remove the sod? Why is the city spending money to remove the sod they only installed a few years ago? How much money has and will the city spend on the baseball field at Happy Hollow Park? What about other sports? Surely, there are other sports are worthy of taxpayer dollars, too? Soccer & Ultimate Frisbee, come to mind. Q3 Site Amenities Input: Are there any site amenities that would be useful in the park such as benches, trash receptacles, bicycle racks, signage? Recycling bin. Also, sledding hill in the winter. Hickory Hill is a destination for families during the winter. People love to sled down the hills because they're safe and fun. One of the hill slopes at Happy Hollow Park is congested with volunteer trees. I suggest clearing the trees from a portion of the hill slope to create a expanded sledding hill.

Use at RALRC pool has increase some in the last month. It will be interesting to watch the numbers once City Park Pool is closed for the season. It should also be noted that the Coralville Indoor Pool has been closed all summer. Staff is discussing how best to record, and report use numbers with several of the residents who are concerned about their accuracy. The reports will likely change in format and information with the October Commission Packet. Staff intent would be to provide a consistent report each month for each of the swimming pools. The reports included this month are: 1. Total Admissions to RALRC Pool as recorded by check -in or payment at the Customer Service Desk. 2. Snapshot counts of lap lane swimmers at RALRC at specific intervals each day. Reported to gage the number of lap lanes needed at the pool to meet current demand rather than total pool use. 3. Total Admission to Mercer Pool as recorded by check -in or payment at the Customer Service Desk. 4. On deck lap swim counts by hour (snapshots of swimmers in the water) at City Park Pool at specific intervals each day.

Lee Pool Supporters Enclosed are two documents with the signatures of 1163 Iowa Citians who support the maintenance and improvement the Robert A. Lee pool and oppose its closure. We have struck names from the petition for two reasons and not counted these names in the total number of signers, despite their desire to prevent the closure of RAL pool: • Names were struck if they do not appear to have an Iowa City address. Hundreds more support our petition but were discouraged from signing unless Iowa City residents. • Names were struck if they already appeared on the "Save the Robert A. Lee Pool" letter sent to Parks and Recreation Commissioners and members of the Iowa City Council on June 10, 2022 (which "strongly recommend(s) RAL's renovation and oppose(s) adding a warm water pool at Mercer"). The 160 people listed below signed the letter entitled "Save Robert A. Lee Pool," sent to Iowa City Council members and Juli Seydel Johnson (for distribution to all members of the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Commission) on June 10, 2022. The letter "strongly recommend(s) RAL's renovation and oppose(s) adding a warm water pool at Mercer."
