REVIEW OF PARK RULES PERTAINING TO DOGS — CHAD DYSON/LIZ FORD
At the November 2017 Commission meeting, members discussed concerns about pet owner behavior within
the park system and asked that this be added as a future agenda item. Chad Dyson reviewed existing park
regulations for pet owners. Liz Ford, Director of Iowa City Animal Services, was also present. Of note is
that all dogs are to be on a leash, or confined in some manner when in a park unless it is an animal trained
to assist persons with disabilities or a dog is in a city dog park and has a permit. Dyson noted that staff has
designed new signage to place throughout the park system.
Dyson also reported on the Dog Park Attendants program that was established in 2010. Dog Park Attendants
are present at various hours of the day from April through November at both Thombeny and Rita's Ranch
Off Leash Dog Parks. Attendants are present to assist with greeting patrons, the sale of annual dog tags,
daily dog passes, enforce rules, and assist users as otherwise needed. To purchase an annual dog park tag,
the owner must have proof of rabies, proof of spay or neuter and if an Iowa City Resident, must have the
dog licensed through the Iowa City Animal Services Office. While the department saw a significant increase
in revenue once adding the attendant program, Seydell Johnson pointed out that it is important to consider
the staff costs when deciding whether to continue this program. Additional expenses include snow removal
and mowing.

Staff was asked if they have an estimate of how many people show up to the dog parks without tags. Ford
said that it is hard to say but when the Animal Services staff pulls into the park, many patrons will leave.
She assumes those may be patrons without tags.
Fett asked how the rules will be enforced, noting that signs do not seem to work. Ford agreed that this is an
issue, as well as the fact that many of the calls come in at times when Animal Services staff are not on duty.
She suggested that while staff does not want to put more responsibility on Iowa City residents, it is helpful
if when making a report they are able to provide staff with a detailed description of the dog, what the owner
is wearing, and even take photos if comfortable and send to Animal Services staff.
Younker suggested that perhaps staff reach out to neighborhood associations that are located near parks to
review the rules. He also suggested that perhaps staff consider designating off -leash dog areas to existing
parks outside of the dog parks. Ford agreed that this may be a good option noting that there are cities that
have dog parks that incorporate a more rural space, rather than dogs all gathering in one spot. Fett also likes
this idea, however, would suggest that there be some type of barrier. Fett asked if staff thought it might be
worth getting price estimates for fencing. Seydell Johnson said that it would take a large amount of fencing
to close off an area in a place like the river area near the Terry Trueblood Recreation Area, for example.
She said that while this was not something that was discussed when forming the master plan, that it may
warrant further discussion. Bentler suggested that perhaps there be specific hours for dogs to be off leash
in designated parks, thereby, alerting visitors that they may encounter a dog off leash. This could eliminate
the need for fencing or another barrier placement. Younker asked that potential sites for additional off leash
areas be added to a future agenda.
Younker asked if the main reason for tag sales was to gain revenue. Dyson said that while it does bring in
revenue, the main reason for a tag is to show that vaccinations for that dog are up-to-date. Ford said that
when researching other parks, most of them do not have attendants. Younker asked if staff has considered
a key card entry. Dyson reported that he has seen such a system at an exhibit, however, it has not been
discussed. Staff agreed that it may be feasible to look at such a system.
Ford said that much of the problem with dog park issues comes from the owners not being trained and
knowing what cues to look for in a dog prior to becoming aggressive. She explained that one bad incident
that a young dog experiences can have a life-long effect on that animal and may cause them to be more
aggressive in the future as well.
Seydell Johnson summarized that Commission is suggesting that staff look at the possibility of another type
of access prior to make a determination for the future of the attendant program. Commission agreed.
Ford recommended that there always be a process to gather vaccination verification.
CrrY PARK CABIN RESTORATION PROJECT UPDATE — KUMI MORRIS
Kumi Morris, Parks & Recreation Facilities Manager, was present to update Commission on the City Park
Cabin Restoration progress. North Construction of Muscatine is the general contractor for this project and
has hired subcontractor Heritage Woodworks of Clemons, Iowa to restore the structures. Heritage
Woodworks' staff first catalogued and documented each piece of each cabin before they were disassembled
and moved to their warehouse for restoration. This project includes roof replacement, structure and concrete
foundation stabilization and placement of wood floors, windows and doors. Morris shared a video of a
recent visit to Heritage Woodworks. This video is available at https://www.ygILtabe.com/watch?v—bR-
!pHCPIK4.

Eventually the cabins will be reconstructed in the warehouse, then deconstructed again to be brought back
to Iowa City where they will again be reconstructed at City Park.
Joyce Carroll, Iowa City Parks & Recreation Program Supervisor, launched the efforts to raise funds to get
the cabins restored. Staff plans to offer children/family special events in the cabins. The work is expected
to be complete by October 2018.
REPORT ON ITEMS FROM CITY STAFF
Recreation Division Superintendent Report — Chad Dyson
Activity Guide: Dyson noted that Recreation Staff is in full summer planning mode. They are
currently creating the summer activity guide which will be released late March/early April. Class
registration will begin on April 25.
Music Event: Staff is working with Neighborhood Services staff in planning a small music
festival in May. The City received a grant to hold such an invent in one of Iowa City's "Invest
Health" neighborhoods (Towncrest, Broadway/Hilltop or Pheasant Ridge). Staff are currently
working towards securing the Pepperwood Plaza area (K-Mart's previous site). According to their
website (https://www.investhealth.org), "Invest Health is a new initiative that brings together
diverse leaders from mid -sized U.S. cities across the nation to develop new strategies for
increasing and leveraging private and public investments to accelerate improvements in
neighborhoods facing the biggest barriers to better health. The program is a collaboration between
the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Reinvestment Fund. This initiative was developed to
provide an opportunity for mid -sized cities to transform the way local leaders work together to
create solution -driven and diverse partnerships. These partnerships will emphasize making
changes in low-income neighborhoods to improve resident health and well-being. These changes
can focus on increasing access to quality jobs, affordable housing, and nutritious food, and
reducing crime rates and environmental hazards." More information will be available soon.
Athletic Fields: Dyson noted that athletic field staff is working on lighting projects at the Boys
Baseball fields in City Park, as well as some temporary lighting placement at Kickers Soccer
Park. Seydell Johnson announced that the Boys Baseball organization has donated the lights at an
estimated cost of $75,000. The lights at Kickers will be of no cost to the City as they will be run
on generators. This lighting will allow for more field reservations, thereby bringing in more
revenue.
Parks Division Superintendent Report — Zac Hall
Hiring Seasonal Staff: Hall announced that approximately 50% of summer staff positions have
been filled. He noted, however, that while horticulture and athletic field staff are in good shape,
the department has not received many applications for the Parks Grounds Maintenance or
Cemetery Ground Maintenance positions. Staff is hoping to see more interest following Spring
Break. Hall said that Coralville is having the same issue.
Equipment Preparation: Hall noted that staff is in the process of swapping out winter equipment
for the springisummer season. They will begin trimming and pruning trees soon.
Prairie Bum: Staff will continue this process as weather allows in Wetherby and Reyersons
Woods parks.
Parks & Recreation Directors Report — Juli Seydell Johnson

March 14, 2018
Page 4 of 6
Hickory Trail Park Renaming: Seydell Johnson reminded commission that in January that the
Wills Family had proposed changing the name of Hickory Trail Park to Calder Park in honor of
their late son. While a memo to Council states that Commission discussed and were in
agreement, it appeared that there was not a motion made by the Commission. However, after
Younker stating that he believes there was a motion made, Neumann looked back at the original
transcription of the minutes where it was discovered that Commission did indeed make and
approve a motion. Because it was not noted in the January minutes, and minutes have already
been approved as written, Commission will make a new motion at the April meeting at the
request of the City Attorney.
Proiect Update
o Mercer HVAC/Boiler Systems: A preconstruction meeting for this project will be
scheduled soon. It has been determined that Mercer Park Aquatic Center will need to
close for approximately three weeks during the month of May for this project.
o Recreation Center: Seydell Johnson said that the RFQ has gone out for the next phase of
the Recreation Center remodel. This project will include remodeling of the racquetball
court, upgrading the locker rooms to meet ADA requirements, renovation of the kitchen
and of the Social Hall. Proposals are due at the end of May.
o Cardigan Park: The construction fence has been installed and the project is progressing
quickly. Staff expects this to be complete by the end of May. This project will include
the addition of a shelter, a butterfly garden and placement of paths.
o Creekside Park: Staff continues meeting with park design staff from Snyder &
Associates. This project will go out to bid soon and project will begin in July. The park
will be shut down from July through October for construction.
o Happy Hollow Park: This project starts next week with a completion date of mid -June.
o Villa Park: Immediately following this Commission meeting, there will be a Villa Park
Neighborhood meeting to gather input for playground options.
o Riverfront Crossings Phase 3: This phase was to include shelters and restroom, however,
only one bid was received and it was too high so was rejected. This project will be rebid
with adjustments made to the plans. Completion of this project is slated for October.
o Hickory Hill Park: Staff hopes to begin work on trails, signs, and bridges later this spring.
Younker asked for a RAGBRAI update. Seydell Johnson reported that committees are being set and that a
call for community volunteers will begin soon. Several communities came together in Des Moines for a
statewide meeting. The next meeting for the Iowa City Committee will meet on March 26. At that time
there will be a vote on the theme and a logo. At this point, it seems that most of the entertainment will
likely take place downtown and camping accommodations will be within city parks.
COMMISSION TIME/SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS:
Hamann asked if staff have ever thought about adding spinner dryers to the pool locker rooms. Staff have
discussed this option but the cost has been prohibitive. Hamann also asked if there will be more dog
drinking fountains added to parks, trail areas etc. Hall said he will check with the vendor to find out if
those that are in place can be retrofitted to add dog fountains. Dog fountains are now standard with the
installation of any new drinking fountains.

Bentler asked if there was any discussion on a future deer kill and what kind of an effect it may have on
parks. Seydell Johnson said that while it is currently a big topic of discussion, she does not yet know the
outcome. She will keep the commission informed.

Re: Review and Amend Recreation Division Patron Conduct Policy to Include Youth Bullying
Prevention item
Commission Role:
Review, comment, and approve change to the Recreation Division Patron Conduct Policy.
Background:
As part of the Human Rights Campaign 2018 Municipal Equality Index City departments that
provide youth services have been asked to implement Youth Bullying Prevention policies that
prohibit bullying on the express basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in city facilities
and services.
Recommended amendment:
Staff recommends the addition of the following; "Sexual, physical or other harassment including
bullying youth or others on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity', to the
Recreation Division Patron Conduct Policy, item #2, as prohibited conduct within Recreation
Division facilities and services.
Attachments:
Recreation Division Patron Conduct Policy — Revised 2018
220 S. Gilbert Street • Iowa City, Iowa 52240-1632 • (319) 356-5100 • FAX (319) 356-5487
Iowa City Recreation Division Patron Conduct Policy
The purpose of the Patron Conduct Policy is to maintain a safe and pleasant environment for all
Recreation Division patrons. It also ensures access to all Recreation Division facilities, the safety
of users and staff, and the protection of the facility and equipment. Security cameras are in use in
public and staff areas of the recreation centers to protect the safety and security of the people, the
building, and its contents.
Patrons have the responsibility to use Recreation Division facilities in a manner that a) does not
interfere with the rights of other individuals to use the facility or service; b) does not limit the ability
of Recreation Division staff to conduct division business; and c) does not threaten the secure and
comfortable environment of the Recreation Division facilities. Parents or caregivers are responsible
for the conduct of children under 6'h grade. Prohibited conduct includes any illegal activity and
includes, but is not limited to, the following:
1) Willfully annoying, harassing, or threatening another person.
2) Sexual, physical or other harassment including bullying youth or others on the basis of their
sexual orientation or gender identity.
3) No firearms, concealed or openly visible, are allowed on Recreation Division premises with
the exception of those carried by authorized law enforcement agents.
4) Consuming alcohol or controlled substances, being intoxicated, smoking, or using tobacco
products including but not limited to electronic, smoke -free cigarettes, or nicotine products,
excluding nicotine cessation products.
5) Obscene images on apparel or body are not permitted within the Recreation Division
facilities. Exposure of undergarments is prohibited.
6) Using facility furniture or equipment in a manner that could cause harm to self, patrons,
staff, or personal or public property.
7) Campaigning, petitioning, interviewing, survey taking, soliciting, posting notices,
fundraising, or selling, unless authorized by the Recreation Superintendent or designee.
8) Picture taking or videotaping of people, except at events, unless authorized by the
Recreation Superintendent or designee and by the patrons involved, or their parents if
minors are present.
9) Behaving in a loud, boisterous or disruptive manner that is not solely caused by a disability.
Fighting or challenging to fight, running, pushing, shoving or throwing things.
10) Impeding access to the building or an area of the building or blocking an area for extended
periods of time.
11) Bringing animals into the Recreation Division facilities, except service animals, unless
authorized by the Recreation Superintendent or designee.
12) Leaving animals, bicycles or personal items in Recreation Division facility entrances or
walkways.
13) Leaving unattended personal items in the building. The Recreation Division assumes no
responsibility for lost, stolen, or unattended personal items. Items left longer than 30
minutes may be removed or taken to Lost and Found.
14) Leaving suspicious packages that, in the opinion of staff, are of potential threat. These
items may be removed from the premises without notice.
15) Entering non-public areas or entering or leaving the building through non-public entrances
and exits, unless accompanied by a staff member or through prior authorization from a staff
member.
16) Having offensive hygiene, odor or scent that constitutes a nuisance to other patrons.
17) Failing to exit the building at closing or not following directions from staff during an
emergency.
18) Using facility areas or equipment for other than their designated use when these resources
are limited.
19) Relocating tables, chairs, equipment or other furniture without staff permission.
20) Wearing masks or being disguised for reason other than health or religious practice.
To conduct programs and facilities safely and efficiently the Recreation Division may require taking
disciplinary action against patrons. The Superintendent reserves the right to expel a patron
permanently if the behavior is sufficiently egregious to threaten the health, safety, or welfare of staff
and/or other patrons. Some program areas may institute their own discipline procedures (ex.
Summer Day Camp, SPI) but in nearly all 'open recreation" instances, patrons will be subject to
the following disciplinary steps:
First Offense- Verbal Warning
If the patron violates any of the facility rules.
Second Offense- Expulsion for Remainder of the Dav
If the patron violates the same rule a second time or violates another rule.
Third Offense- Expulsion for 7 Days
If the patron violates the same rule a third time or violates another rule.
Fourth and Subsequent Offenses- Expulsion for Minimum of 30 Days
If the patron violates the same rule a fourth time or violates another rule.
