Dear Mayor Hayek and members of the Iowa City Council,
~~~ t~s
lUah ou`~
FACSIMILE:
319.358.6778
Summer of the Arts is responsible for a variety of arts and cultural events, which are
widely recognized for providing free, family friendly, events. These events include the
Iowa Arts Festival, Iowa City Jazz Festival, Friday Night Concert Series, Free Movie
Series and Sand in the City. Sumer of the 1\rts can exist only because of hundreds of
volunteers along with the financial support of the City and other generous supporters
and contributors.
The return realired by the City on this investment is significant. These events attract
tens of thousands of attendees, create jobs and provide revenue to local and State
government- ~`1s important, in my opinion, is the atmosphere these events create
downtown. There are a number of things that make our downtown, including the
pedestrian plaza, a success and Summer of the Arts is high on that list. This vibrant
and exciting atmosphere is criticall~r important to our commercial and retail tenants. It
is equally important to those who lease apartments and own homes downtown.
Because of our vibrant downtown property values are high. Plaza Towers alone pays
nearly one million dollars each year in property taxes. We must all do our part to
make assure that businesses continue to thrive and that a diverse demographic mix of
tenants and owners continue to live downtown. Unc important thing we can all do is
support the groups that bring family friendly events to the City There is no
organization better at achieving this goal than Summer of the Arts.
In the current economic time the l~rts must have everyone's support, including the
City's. The City's continued funding of Summer of the Arts at the current level is not
only justified, but makes perfect economic sense given the return to the City on this
investment.
Thank you far your co sideration. o

City of Iowa City's Summer of the Arts Talking Points for City Council
Extraordinary Event Management
• City of Iowa City's Summer of the Arts stands proudly knowing very few other festivals and
events in the country still offer FREE admission.
• We offer time honored events and festivals held as traditions in this community.
In 2010, The Toyota Scion of Iowa City Jazz Festival and The Press-Citizen's Friday Night
Concert Series will both celebrate 20 years of free arts and cultural centered
entertainment.
• City of Iowa City's Summer of the Arts operates with a small staff of one full time employee and
one part time employee, along with the help of a few interns and hundreds of volunteers.
• In 2009 City of Iowa City's Summer of the Arts received the Corridor Business Journal's Non
Profit Innovation Award in the category of operations.
Building Community
• City of Iowa City's Summer of the Arts events bring together people in the community from all
backgrounds and walks of life.
• We remove any perceived barriers to accessing the arts by holding free, family-friendly
festivals.
In 2010, we are partnering with area public libraries, the Johnson County Senior Center, Iowa
City Neighborhood Centers, area high schools and businesses to participate in a new event
funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Big Read emphasizes
the importance of Iowa City's designation as a City of Literature by encouraging leisure reading.
From the end of January into March we will be offering a variety of programs throughout the
area including book discussions of our chosen book -Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.
City of Iowa City's Summer of the Arts and Economic Development
• Numerous downtown business owners have expressed that they saw an increase in sales this
year during the Iowa Arts Festival.
• Artists at the Iowa Arts Festival saw positive sales in comparison to the statistics from the Des
Moines Art Fair.
• According to our 2006 survey, 30% of attendees at the Toyota-Scion of Iowa City Jazz Festival
are from out of town.
• Out of town guests are likely renting rooms, spending extra dollars on food, gas, shopping, etc.
Using the Americans for the Arts Economic Calculators for the Corridor area:
With a $350,000 budget and over 100,000 people attending our events:
• Total Impact of Arts Dollars in Community: $2,194,000

Johnson County Fairgrounds
2010 will be the fifth year The Iowa Children's Museum has hosted Move It! Dig It! Do It! at
the Johnson County Fairgrounds in Iowa City. Attendance continues to grow as additional
organizations, farming and construction companies, and area families look forward to an active
educational day! Attendance at 2009 Move It! Dig It! Do It! was over 2,600 children and adults!
Move It! Dig It! Do It! is hosted by The Iowa Children's Museum, a leader in the field
of informal learning through its innovative approach in providing hands-on, minds-on
exhibits and programs. This special event offers families the opportunity to get an
up-close look at large construction and farming equipment and vehicles to learn how
they have changed the way we live.
The Iowa Children's Museum is proud to serve 842 Iowa City households with museum
memberships out of a total membership of 1,494 families, 56.4% of our members. In October
of'09 - December'09 we welcomed 29,723 visitors to The Iowa Children's Museum. Of
those, Iowa City resident admissions equaled 15,266 or 51.4% of our admissions.
Move It! Dig It! Do It! includes....
FARMING THROUGH THE AGES makes learning fun as children explore how farming has
evolved from horses and plows to giant sophisticated farming equipment. They will learn how plants
grow and how farming is integral to our existence. Move It! Dig It! Do It! includes a John Deere
Pedal Tractor Pull for children of all ages and abilities. Families will also have the opportunity to
ride in a buggy being pulled by Clydesdale `work horses' and learn how horses were used to farm and
construct in the past. Families will have the opportunity to enjoy visiting with our "Barnyard
Friends" and watch sheep shearing demonstrations!

.. _v .~. -
CONSTRUCTION ZONE helps event attendees better understand how construction equipment is
used to efficiently construct buildings, dig ponds, move earth...etc. They climb on board these
amazing pieces of machinery and see firsthand how they work. They even get to honk the horns!
ROAD RUNNERS consists of a variety of vehicles that children see on a daily basis but have never
had an opportunity to view close-up or climb into such as a Hummer, Humvee, ambulance, fire truck,
and even the UI Helicopter! A great opportunity for children and adults to see and learn about the
emergency vehicles they see every day!
EDUCATION STATION provides eight fun learning-based activities for all to enjoy such as sifting
through sand for fool's gold and other semi-precious stones, creating stone pendants as well as
creating their very own garden stones to take home with them! There were over 20 activities for kids
of all ages to participate in! Some of the organizations The Iowa Children's Museum has partnered
with include Field To Family, Iowa City Animal Care and Adoption Center, Johnson County
Soil and Conservation and UI Science Education Department!

~- Move It! Dig It! Do It! is the only event of this kind in Eastern Iowa!
~'' Designed for families with children ages one to twelve, this event provides afun-filled day at the Johnson County
Fairgrounds packed with education and entertainment. Move It! Dig It! Do It! is a unique event offering families the
opportunity to get an up-close look at large equipment 8~ vehicles and team how technology has changed the way we live
~'' while enjoying a great day at a Johnson County landmark... the fairgrounds.
~ Event activities are in three primary areas of interest. Each area features large pieces of real equipment and/or vehicles
~r that event attendees can climb into and explore. In addition, focused hands-on activities, including a Pedal Tractor Pull
~, for kids, set-up throughout the fairgrounds provide attendees with in-depth learning about each of the areas of interest.
Area #1. Construction Zone
Families learn how large construction equipment helps us to efficiently construct buildings, dig ponds, move earth...etc.
Children have the opportunity to climb into the cab of a cement mixer as it mixes cement on site, sit in the driver's seat of
~,, an excavator, and man the wheel of a big paver! Over 25 vehiGes/equipment are on display with their owners/operators.
~'' Area #2. Farming
Families explore how farming has evolved in our community from horses and plows to giant sophisticated farming
equipment learning how plants grow and how farming is integral to our existence. Field to Family and local 4-H clubs
provide demonstrations with show animals and locally grown food to help event attendees better understand agriculture.
~ Area #3. Road Runners
~Ir Diverse vehicles that children may not have had an opportunity to view close-up such as an Army ambulance, city bus,
and garbage truck are on hand to climb into and explore. A highlight is the landing of the UIHC helicopter!
How does this program/event benefit the Iowa City area?
The Iowa Children's Museum's "Move It! Dig It! Do It!" event benefits the Iowa City area in the following ways:
1. Provides ahigh-quality, fun educational enrichment activity for local families that is affordable (family discounts)
2. Draws non-community members to Iowa City for the day contributing to the local economy
3. Highlights the construction and fanning industry in our community making children aware of the diverse job
opportunities available in their future.
4. Educates event attendees about the importance of the agricultural and construction industries in our everyday lives
If this is an increase or decrease from previous City funding, please indicate why:
The Iowa Children's Museum has never received funding support from the City of Iowa City although 50% of our annual
attendees (120,000) are Johnson County residents with half of those attendees being residents of Iowa City.
Because we hold this family event in Iowa City at the fairgrounds, we are asking the City to please consider lending your
support to Move It! Dig It! Do It! to support a community event that impacts Iowa City and its community members.
Our event is a very well attended, wholesome day of educational fun for the entire family whose attendance increases
each year. The Iowa Children's Museum would be honored to partner with the City of Iowa City on this event.
Thank you for your consideration.

D THE REAM
FOUNDATION
UPTOWN BILL'S
Dear Matt,
IP8
40~ S Gilbert St.
Iowa City, IA
5z24o
Congratulations on your selection as mayor of our great city. I look forward
to your leadership in the coming years.
It is amazing to realize we (the Extend the Dream Foundation) are soon to
complete our ninth year as anon-profit serving persons with disabilities.
Even I have been struck by how well things have gone. This is our year to
turn the corner of sustainability - we will be hiring a new Director in July,
we have a contract for accounting services to help us professionalize our
financial management and we hope to fund the purchase of a permanent
location for Uptown Bill's small Mall, our most successful social service
venture. We are giving support to dozens of people with disabilities and
dozen more of people struggling with recovery issues on a daily (365 days a
year) basis. I plan to stay on as a volunteer after a new paid director is hired
for as long as my health and worth to the organization continues.
I have enclosed a copy of our eighth annual report for your scrutiny and a
notice of a memoir I have written as a fund raising effort for the Foundation.
I have appreciated your support over these past years.
Sincerely ~--'`

Extend the Dream Foundation 8th Annum Report
INTRODUCTION
This is the eighth year since Extend the Dream Foundation (EDF) opened the small Mall
at 401 S. Gilbert St., though its history dates bus. Since 2001,the project haslgrown from
Shop in 1974 on the University of Iowa camp
the four initial micro-enterprises located in the Snma~dM he eCottuner a Center at 2 03 F
out among three buildings. The other buildings

The EDF organization is part of the legacme f~eillmS n~o 'of his own W ld B ~ Coffee Shop

on the UI campus. Little then did we know that he would go on to become the sunned the three
major films (Bill, Bill On His Own, and A Friend Indeed: the Bill Sackter Sto~y)ersons with
inspiration for our program. EDF was founded to carry on the work of he nd ontinues to

move forward in the tradition and spirit of Bill Sackter.
THE EXTEND THE D~P'M MISSION
The mission of EDF is to help low income persons- those. with disabilities as well as
retired elderly- launch and operate micmr~~ ~h publichon the general issues pertinent
supporting volunteer and media progra
to aging and disability.
GOVERNANCE
EDF is governed by a 14 member board of
Asa 501 C-3 non-profit organization,
directors, chaired by Jeff Edberg (commercial realtor). Other directors include Mercedes
Bern Klug (social work professor), Mitch Rotman (research assistant), Charles Skaugstad
(business owner), Jeff Larson (investor), Jeff) n~ miffed academic officer)~Man'lyn
Anne Leahy (assistant county attorney), Ph (
Austin (public assistance coordinator), Carol Fisher (retired social worker), Eugene

PROFIT AND LOS'S PICTURE
All of the micro-enterprises, except one, operate as non-profit enterprises under the tax
exempt status of EDF. Not all are expected to be profit producing, since the purpose of
their enterprise is "service" to the disability group and the community, or what we call
social entrepreneurship. While the goal is to sustain and support the small businesses and
their sponsors through earnings, this is viewed collectively, rather than by the
profitability of each individual enterprise that operates under the EDF umbrella.
The following summarize the profit and loss of each of the active businesses:

ON VOLUNTEERS
For the past eight years we have operated the EDF program without relying on paid staff.
Partly this was by necessity, partly by philosophy. We wanted the community to partner
with the owners and employees with disabilities to operate and sustain their businesses
Volunteers provided a total of 6,740 hours of service in 2008 - 2009. Members of the
general community contributed 4,740 hours, persons with disabilities 500 hours, and
students another 1500 hours.

Travel Back in Time with the Irving B. Weber Days Ice Cream Social
During Irving Weber's lengthy career in the ice cream business in Iowa City, his wife Martha used to quip that
"[they'd] be rich, but Irving's eating up all the profit." It is with Irving's love of ice cream in mind that an Ice
Cream Social will be the culminating event of this year's Irving B. Weber Days. This fun-filled event will take
place on Saturday, May 30 from 1:00-4:00 p.m. in downtown Iowa City, and is free and open to the public.
The day's festivities will actually kick off with a couple history adventures. At 10:00AM at the State Historical
Society of Iowa (402 Iowa Ave.), you can learn about the history of photography from its introduction in 1839
until the end of the 19 Century with amulti-media presentation by local historian Paul Juhl. Starting at
11:OOAM near the Weatherdance fountain in downtown Iowa City, join local architecture experts John Shaw
and Jan Nash on a walking tour of "Hidden Iowa City."
Along with free ice cream, the Ice Cream Social will feature old-fashioned games, 10 cent admission to the
Robert A. Lee Recreation Center pool, a "Granny" basketball game, a history trivia game show, an antique car
show, and much more! Bring your lawn chair and enjoy performances by Wayne Neuzil, Acoustic Mayhem,
and the New Venue Big Band with swing dance demonstrations.

Irving Weber was a lifelong Iowa City resident (1900-1997), the University of Iowa's first All-American
swimmer, businessman in the dairy and ice cream business, and designated in 1989 as Iowa City's Official
Historian. A day to honor Irving's memory and instill the desire for current residents to appreciate and preserve
the community's history was first established in 1998. "I had the distinct pleasure of knowing Irving Weber,"
said Shaner Magalhaes, executive director of the Johnson County Historical Society, "and it is befitting of his
legacy that the community continues to honor him by emphasizing the importance of preserving and telling the
stories of our collective past." "And I'd venture to guess that Irving would truly enjoy the ice cream social that
we have planned" added Magalhaes.

Riverside will hire a company of 40 artists (directors, designers actors and production staff) to produce afive-wee
Shakespeare Festival in lower City Park. Rehearsals are 42 hours/week, and will begin in mid-May. The company of 20
actors are cast in both plays, and have rehearsals for both plays 6 days/week, Riverside is affiliated with Actors' Equity
Association, a union for professional actors and stage managers in the United States. This affiliation provides Riverside
with access to a large pool of highly-talented actors from across the country. Riverside holds annual auditions for the
Shakespeare Festival in Iowa City, Kansas City, Chicago and Milwaukee, and travels to New York biennially. While
contracted with Riverside, artists receive wages, housing (if not local), insurance and transportation.
The 2010 Festival will feature ROMEO AND JULIET and LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST, which wilt run in repertory for a total
of 23 performances on the Festival Stage in lower City Park.
In late May, UI Professor Miriam Gilbert will host a Thursday Theatre Talk about the Festival. This is a free, and open to
the public discussion with guest speakers, intending to give patrons some insight into the plays and their major plot
points and themes.
Once the Festival opens in June, the Festival Intem company performs the "green show," a 20-minute storytheatre (cliffs
notes-type) version of the play attendees are about to see. This nightly event is also free and open to the public -not just
for those attending the full performance. Riverside also hosts three (3) Family Nights during the Festival, allowing adults

Describe the event/program and all activities that will occur:
The City of Iowa City's Summer of the Arts (SotA) is entering it's fifth year as the umbrella organization for local events.
Highlights from this year include:
• Toyota-Scion of Iowa City Jazz Festival -Three days of focal and national jazz bands on four separate stages. This
year once again record crowds of over 50,000 people enjoyed the fireworks display behind the Old Capital on 4th of July.
We worked closely with City administration to help the fireworks happen.
• Iowa Arts Festival - A weekend full of art, music, family events, and international culture. This year we expanded the
arts fair from 115 artists to 134 artists, and added an extra block of space. The response was overwhelmingly positive.
We made sidewalk walkways in between artist booths, which prompted positive response from downtown businesses.
• Free Movie Series -Each Saturday evening over 300 people gathered on the lawn of the Pentacrest to enjoy small
performances and an outdoor movie.
• Friday Night Concert Series -This event brought families and individuals downtown to enjoy live music in the
pedestrian mall. Many of the bands brought record crowds down to dance and enjoy the evening together.
• Sand in the City -This new event featured gigantic sand sculptures in the streets downtown. Over 25,000 people
turned out for this inaugural event helping to raise a net of $16,000 to support summer programming.

How does this program/event benefit the Iowa City area?
The City of Iowa City's Summer of the Arts offers an arts and cultural experience which is free, family friendly and fun.
This year over 125,000 people gathered in downtown Iowa City for summer activities. Downtown Iowa City businesses
stayed busy thanks to the crowds that gathered to celebrate these cultural activities. Approximately 70% of downtown
business owners saw an increase in business during our major festivals this summer.
Our events attract a diverse audience from all over the country. In 2006 the Iowa City Jazz Festival conducted an
informal survey that showed: • 63% of attendees were from Iowa Ciry
• 22% of attendees were from other parts of Iowa
• 15% of attendees came from out of state
Every year these events continue to grow and attract more pvendors, and all area hospitality locations fully bookedmic
impact on Iowa City can be seen in busy restaurants, happy
during our major festivals. 0
If this is an increase or decrease from previous City funding, please indicate why:
Summer of the Arts respectfully requests that our funding of $60,000 be renewed. We are not asking for an increase, but
need to keep our funding steady in order to maintain the level of programming the community has come to enjoy.

Describe the event/program and all activities that will occur:
..
This event will create a lasting connection between the small business community of Iowa City and 2nd year MBA
students at the Tippie School of Management.
Small businesses will be targeted through direct marketing to inform them of the .opportunity to meet with current MBA
students. This will create a relationship for them with current students who can help provide business strategy advice for
them on an as-needed informal basis. The value of the event is leveraged on the fact that MBA students are eager and
willing to solve small business problems with their experience and recent course work. Conversely small business
owners are faced with a wide range of problems they may have no experience dealing with and are looking for solutions.
The problem lies in their lack of connections with top-notch business talent. MBA students provide a very cost effective
way for them to get advice on their business.
The ability of any one MBA student to go out in the community and create this type of connection is limited by their busy
school schedule and typically their recent transplantation to Iowa City. The small business owners are also typically
unaware of the eagerness of MBA students to assist them with problems and aren't able to make that connection on their
own. One organization currently making this effort is the Iowa Small Business Development Center. Their approach is a
more passive approach at connecting these two communities because it only involves a limited number of students on a
formal basis.
*The event will include a keynote speaker discussing ways to self-asses your business to identify ways for improvement.
*There will be a group challenge so that students and business owners get a brief experience working together
•There will be casual networking time available around food
*There will be games and activities for families to allow more people to attend
'Small business development kits will be provided with resources for business owners

How does this programlevent benefit the fovea City area?
By creating this panel of free advisors to small business owners of MBA students what has been created is actually an
informal Board of Directors. Large corporations benefit from this type of advisory .board. Small companies and start ups
are actually more in need of this type of sounding board and directory services.
These contacts will stay in place long past as most students are seeking ways to be more involved and gain a wider
exposure to the community they have joined in Iowa City. This event will create a lasting beneficial coalition of
like-minded students and business owners that will provide an economic and social benefit to Iowa City.
If this is an increase or decrease from previous City funding, please indicate why:

YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION (YAC)
Explanation of funding requests for fiscal year 2010-2011
Website and Advertising: S1,000
Last year, we were allotted $1,000 for maintaining and promoting a website about the YAC.
Since then we have produced a website which offers biographical information about members,
materials relating to the youth empowerment grant and information regarding the history and
formation of the YAC. Since the success of the website and YAC depend on community
engagement, we are again requesting funding to advertise.
We advertised during fiscal year 2010 by producing flyers, hosting events and purchasing Face
book ads. We hope to continue to expand our advertising in FY 2011 by working with a
marketing student at the Tippie B. College of Business pro-bono, reaching out to student groups
and high schools and developing deeper relationships with community groups that indicate
interest in the YAC's mission. Through continued advertising, we hope to increase community
awareness and participation in YAC endeavors.
Youth Empowerment Grant: S2,000
We were allotted $2,000 for continuing a youth grant program in FY 2010. We have developed
an application and process for evaluating and approving youth led projects that benefit Iowa
City Residents with funding up to $500.
A student outreach group at Regina has continually expressed interest in, and been awarded, a
grant for a project geared towards helping needy families during the holidays. With active
promotion and targeted information, countless people have the opportunity to be helped by
Iowa City youth.
Youth Forums: 51,000
The YAC has recently redoubled its efforts to fully live out its mission statement and truly act as
a sounding board for issues affecting Iowa City youth. Acting in empowering leadership roles is
only a part of that mission, however, and actively seeking out what youth have to say about the
issues affecting them is just as important. To that end, the YAC is requesting $1,000 to have on
hand when issues (such as the proposed juvenile curfew) arise and we wish to hold a forum to
discuss those issues, as well as address the youth community at large.
Recoenition Scholarship: 5500
The Recognition Scholarship, $250, will be awarded to two Iowa City Youth who have
demonstrated leadership potential and a commitment to community service. These youth
must be Iowa City residents in the seventh or eighth grade (orhome-school equivalent), have to
be recommended by at least two teachers and must write, in 500 words or less what
"leadership" means to her or him. This scholarship will serve not only to recognize youth for
their work thus far, and potential for their futures, but also act as a recruiting tool for the
commission itself.
