PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
None
INTRODUCTION OF NEW COMMISSION MEMBER
Claussen welcomed Suzanne Bentler to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Suzanne is
filling the vacancy left by Alex Taylor. Bentler's term will run through January 1, 2017.
Bentler has lived in Iowa City for 20 years. She is employed at the Public Policy Center at the
University of Iowa. She is currently finishing her PhD in Health Management Policy/Public
Health. Members welcomed Suzanne to the commission.
THE CHAUNCEY
Claussen thanked John Yapp for returning to the commission to update members on the
progress of The Chauncey project. Yapp noted that City Council received the letter from the
commission and that he has prepared a response that has been distributed to the Commission.
He reported that negotiations are ongoing and does not have a date for those to be complete.
He further stated that he understands the commission's interest and concerns as well as their
obligation to be involved in the park design process.
Yapp noted that the June commission meeting, the architect presented a plan that showed the
use of the whole park as a staging area. Yapp has discussed the desire to attempt to narrow
this down so as not to encroach on the farmers market with the contractor. He has also talked
with them about there being no construction outside of the building during the market.

Elliott noted that she found it interesting to learn that the space never was designated as a park.
Yapp said that when the ramp was built in the 1980's, this area was turned into a park but was
never designated as such. The reconstruction of this park will open up the opportunity to
dedicate it as one of the few urban parks in Iowa City.
Younker asked how much of the design is being projected in the original plan and how much
after. Yapp said that the current design includes mass and scale design but not a lot of detail.
He shared the concept plan with commission members. This is the same plan that was shared
with City Council. Younker also asked at what point the commission can expect to become
involved. Yapp said that would happen once an agreement is set with the developer.
Elliott asked how the pending lawsuit fit into the development timeline. Yapp said that they don't
have a good sense of when this case will go to court. He further stated that it doesn't
necessarily effect the negotiations other than it creates some uncertainty.
Claussen asked about the plans for a geothermal system and its effects on the park.. Yapp
noted that the developer proposes a geothermal system under the park. Part of the goal of this
project is sustainability. While it does require more disturbance to the park, he has discussed
with the project architect scheduling it so that it has minimal effect on activity, such as being
done outside of the market season. Westefeld asked if there are necessary repairs to this
system later, will it mean more disturbance to the park. Yapp noted that it is his understanding
that this is usually only in places where you have shifting soil and does not expect that to be a
problem at Chauncey Swan Park.
Claussen reiterated that one of the biggest concerns for the commission is the effect this project
will have on the market. Moran reported that there may be a loss of 2-3 stalls inside the ramp
itself due to a change in the entrance location for the parking area for The Chauncey.
Bourgeois asked if there had been any thought given to using College Street as the staging
area. Yapp said it was considered, however, because College Street is needed for traffic
circulation, they would have to make it accessible at certain times of the day. There was also a
concern about the amount of weight this would put on the bridge.
Moran and Yapp have had discussions regarding payment for the restoration of the park
following construction. They both agreed that this should be the responsibility of the developer.
Yapp noted that with Blackhawk Park, the developer paid for restoring the park to is previous
state; however, anything in addition to that would be funded by the City. Yapp expects this to be
similar.
Yapp stated that the first level of the building will be at the College Street level with the back of
the building facing the park; however, steps are being taken so that it won't appear as the back
of a building. There may be wide amphitheater -like steps for people to sit on with steps
progressing into the park. Younker assumed that the cost of those projects will be determined
separate from the development agreement. Yapp thinks that such steps would be included in
the development cost. Younker expressed concerns about commission not having the
opportunity to give much input when they only meet once per month. Yapp assured members
that once they get into the design phase for the park, he would be sure to keep members
involved during the process outside of meetings as well as at the monthly meetings. Claussen
agreed and says he imagines the park will be used as an amenity to The Chauncey and may
lose its relationship to the downtown and to the market. He noted that the park has provided a
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
August 14, 2013

unique addition to the market and he would hope that it is preserved as such, at least until there
is a better alternative for the market. Elliott asked Claussen if he didn't think the developer's
commitment to involving the Commission is enough. Claussen thinks they will do what they
want in the long run. Younker is concerned that some of the decisions for the park development
will take place during the agreement process and commission will be involved after that. For
example, if FilmScene puts on a Friday night movie, who will clean up prior to the next
morning's market. Bentler said that she thinks this development will likely change the sleepy
park feel of Chauncey Swan. She believes there will be a lot more use of the park than there is
now and will likely also see a lot more messes from dogs in the park.
Moran summarized by telling the commission to let Yapp know what their biggest concerns are.
He will keep commission in the loop through his Friday Updates.
Elliott said that she understands Claussen's concerns, but she does not want to say she is
against or for the steps until she sees the plan, further noting that having more people in the
park may not be a bad thing. Yapp sees the redevelopment of this park as an opportunity to
enhance the farmers market. Younker said it would be helpful if Yapp and Moran were to give
the commission a list of what is going to be included in the development agreement. This will
give the group the opportunity to determine if they want to have some input. He would
appreciate a chance to comment.
Yapp said that there are some things that they know, also a number of unknowns, but that the
knowns may change. Yapp assured commission that the lines of communication will continue.

KT was not able to attend tonight's meeting but sent a report to staff.
• Two of their board members walked the park and mapped problem areas/trails.
• A subcommittee of the board was formed to break up the trails plan into manageable
and fundable projects/phases. Most of the board members will attend the September
Parks and Recreation Commission meeting to present their recommendations and
proposed projects/phases.
• Friends of Hickory Hill have added two new board members, Ian Abrams and Anne
Duggan.
No members from DogPAC were present for this meeting. Bourgeois reported that there are a
number of projects going on at the dog parks including the placement of an irrigation system at
Thornberry. This process will be continued after the TTRA Grand Opening event. Water is now
in place up to the building. A farm hydrant will be placed next to the slab and then will install the
water fountain. Bourgeois further reported that DogPAC is very active with almost all new board
members. He stated that they are a very helpful group.

John McGovern with Recreation Accessibility Consultants was present to review the results of
an accessibility study of Mercer Park Aquatic Center, Robert A. Lee Recreation Center, and City
Park Pool.
McGovern explained that he started working in the Parks and Recreation field in 1975. In 2008
he left and formed a firm to help communities around the United States with accessibility and
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION

inclusion requirements. He said that a lot of what is seen in the Recreation Center is similar to
buildings of a like age. He noted that the ADA Act is to protect people with disabilities. In 2010
the ADA Act added recreation sites to meet their standards. Recreation sites include spaces
where guidelines have not been previously written such as pools, parks, playgrounds, picnic
areas, trails etc. McGovern's company supplies departments with a check list of areas that are
not accessible.
McGovern said that while Iowa City will not have to make all areas accessible at once, it is
suggested that one in four playgrounds be made accessible. Any remaining playgrounds will be
made ADA accessible as they are replaced.
Employee work areas have a different testing process for accessibility. Work areas have to
allow a person with a disability to enter, exit and use the space.
McGovern went on to talk about parking stalls, door knob requirements, locker room
compliance, bench requirements in fitness facilities, etc. The ADA requirements will be
addressed in stages. ADA will continually address needs during development. He said that
facility audits should determine the overall priority. It is also important to share the ADA report
with the public and let them know what is priority and ask for feedback. This is a great
opportunity to open a dialogue with the community about which sites they would like to see
better access. Implementation of these changes is the biggest challenge. The department will
determine what is priority but must be able to document why items were prioritized in the order
which they are. The rationale is to look at the age of sites. Generally older facilities are more
difficult and costly to improve. Again, he recommended that new playgrounds be named
accessible and older playgrounds will remain as is until they are replaced. In his view an indoor
pool is invaluable and would make this a higher priority.
McGovern noted that enforcement has become pretty aggressive. It can be fairly serious if
departments don't at least pay attention. Big issues with parks and recreation departments
have been emergency evacuations and shelters during inclement weather.
Younker asked how often an audit should take place. McGovern said just once, However as
camp sites, trails, and picnic areas are added to that area that must be accessible, there will like
be a need for further audits.
Moran has the full report for anyone who would like to look at it.
MASTER PLAN UPDATE
Moran noted that The Thomas Group has provided a two page letter to the department with
suggestions for master plan updates. There will be telephone surveys done of the community.
Hamann mentioned her concern of a telephone survey not being a good representation of the
community. She also reminded staff that there are a lot of people who no longer have landline
telephones. Moran will consider doing surveys by mail or a combination of both. Hamann asked
what the questions will be on the survey. Moran noted that he will send out the questions that
were on the 2008 survey to commission members

DIRECTORS REPORT
TTRA Grand Opening: Moran shared the planned schedule of this event with the Commission.
The donor reception will be held at 9 a.m. There will be a mock-up in place of the donor wall so
that they can take a look and let staff know of any necessary changes before the permanent
wall is in place. The Grand Opening will open up to the public at 10:30 a.m. with a ribbon cutting
ceremony at 11 a.m. Matt Pacha, previous commission chair and foundation present will serve
the emcee. The Trueblood family will present the Mayor with a framed photo of Terry that will
also include a list of his accomplishments and a timeline of the park project. This will be hung in
the hallway of The Park Lodge. On Sunday, Parks and Recreation Staff will host the first annual
Terry Trueblood Walk for Pancreatic Cancer. Half of the proceeds from this walk will go to the
American Cancer Society for pancreatic cancer research and the other half to the Park
Maintenance Fund that was established by Pete and Dee Vanderhoef through the Johnson
County Foundation.
Ashton House: Moran will be meeting with the contractors this week with construction starting
as soon as possible. This construction is to bring the house up to ADA standards. Moran hopes
to see this complete in time for the holiday season.
The Park Lodge Fees: Moran shared rental fee proposals with Commission. He noted that there
will be lower fees for rentals on weekdays as compared to weekends. The building will be
available from 7 a.m. to midnight daily. The department has contracted with an Event Services
Coordinator to assist with rentals at the facility.

Riverside Theatre: Jodi Hovland and Ron Clark met with Moran about how to protect the festival
stage at City Park from future flooding. Sales of tickets decline dramatically when they are
forced to move their Shakespeare Festival elsewhere due to flooding. Moran noted that while
there are not any good answers at this point, this will be put into the RFP that goes out to redo
City Park in the future. Riverside staff noted that in the last five years they have lost two
seasons and $50,000 lost in ticket sales this season.
Cemetery On-line: Oakland Cemetery information is not available online. Visitors to the site can
search for burials by name, locate the site on a map and view records that can be printed at
home. The map will also show plots that are available for sale.
CIP List: The CIP prioritization will take place at the September Commission Meeting.
Annual Park Tour: Commission agreed to schedule their annual park tour on October 9. The
meeting will start at 4 p.m. with a short agenda and then members will leave for tour.
CHAIR'S REPORT:
Johnson County Conservation Fund: Claussen reminded staff that the Johnson County
Conservation Board has access to $20 million in funds to purchase property or to make
improvements within the county. Claussen would like to have the new director attend a
Commission meeting sometime this winter and discuss their plans.
COMMISSION TIME/SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS:
Elliott thanked Younker for drafting the letter to Council regarding the desire of commission
members to be a part of the design process for Chauncey Swan Park when the time comes.
Younker thanked all of the commission for their input as well.
Younker commented that the Terry Trueblood Recreation Area looks great and he is looking
forward to the Grand Opening Celebration.

and Goal #2 — Track Performance Measures),
AQUATICS
Mercer Park Pool was closed for the entire month of August for scheduled/ preventative maintenance. Both
indoor pools are scheduled to shut down every other year for at least 30 days. The largest portion of this year's
shutdown was painting the pool deck walls. The entire process took about 2 weeks at a cost of roughly $9,000.
The results were positive. The finished product is aesthetically pleasing and cleans up the deck nicely. The pool
deck tiles were also professionally cleaned, whilst we have spot cleaned the tiles previously this is the first time
the entire deck had been professionally done. The results were also positive. The finished product is very nice
and should prolong the life of the tiles overall.

August 2013 Monthly Report

Below are City Park Pool's 2013 season totals. September was averaged as those have not been finalized yet.
We had a down year overall due to the cool weather in June and July. However we did manage to bounce back
in August and we expect the overall numbers to be higher for September. We managed to keep the doors open
while other area pools were closed during a late season heat wave. This should help bolster the bottom line.
