LANDSCAPE DESIGN BASICS PRESENTATION — TYLER BAIRD
Seydell Johnson introduced Tyler Baird and announced his recent promotion to Assistant Parks
Superintendent. Baird was asked to present insight on how plants and landscape materials are chosen for
the City.
Baird first introduced himself to the Commission reporting that he has worked in the Horticulture
Division of the Iowa City Parks Department for four years. Tyler shared his planting philosophy stating
that he tries to focus on native plants. Baird installed a gravel garden at the Parks Shop, noting that this is
one of only three in Iowa. In this instance, he spaced the plants closer to one another and focused on
colorful continuous blooming throughout the year.
Baird then addressed the plantings that are outside of City Hall. These gardens contain perennials which
require less maintenance and mowers and weed eaters can be used to cut from the top creating a natural
mulch. He mentioned that planting closer than instructed will help cut down on weeding and
maintenance. This style is influenced by Roy Diblik, a Midwest perennial plant expert and author, as well
as Piet Oudolf, a Dutch garden designer and author as well.
Baird reviewed tree history with the commission. He noted that the American Chestnut was the first tree
to be erased from the United States and now there are less than 1000 in the country. They have been
unable to sustain movement and the change in the environment. There are only a few American Elm
remaining in the United State as well due to disease. He reminded commission of the tree inventory that is
now available on the City website at https://www.ic og v org/files/tree-inventoM-00. This inventory sites
that approximately 12% of ash trees were used to replace elm trees. He said that while there is a high
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
May 8, 2019

demand from property owners to plant maple trees, it is not recommended. He expressed the importance
of educating the public of the various options for tree planting.
Smith asked if staff have had any conversations with businesses that sell trees to the public. He explained
that as trends change, nurseries face a lag time to acquire the plants and they want to be assured that they
will sell what they have, therefore, encouraging certain trees is not efficient for them. Smith stated that as
a homeowner she did not know that.
The department is aiming for no more than 5% maple, oak, etc.; no more than 5% of one species and no
more than 10% of one genus. A lot of subdivisions are putting in one or two species. Staff is trying to
encourage diversity as pests affecting trees in the same family can float from tree to tree.
Hall reported that something they see in forestry across the United States is how disease comes into the
US from other countries through shipping. Trees that are in a genus without a natural defense system are
at higher risk for foreign disease.
Staff suggests that rather than maple trees, better selections include American Beech, American
Hophombeam, American Hombeam, Black Gum and Yellowwood. For a better fall color and general
shape, go with the Black Gum Trees. A Yellowwood is a medium sized tree with nice flowers in the
spring. Hall reported that one of the largest American Beech trees in the state is located on Iowa Avenue
near Woodland Avenue.
Staff suggested that shrubs to consider include Arrowood Viburnum, Bayberry, Common Witch Hazel,
which produces great fall flowers and color (there is one located at the Parks Shop). Ninebark is also a
good choice and comes in assorted colors.
Baird said that when the department receives a plan from a consultant, they take a hard look at what is
being proposed for plants and encourage choices those that require less maintenance. For example, staff
suggested using various species and native flowers, while reducing the spaces between them, for the
Willow Creek playground. For the downtown Ped Mall area and Washington Street, staff is looking at
various species that will thrive in those areas and be maintainable. Wills asked if staff can reuse the same
plans again. Baird said they can, however, collaborating with different firms and encouraging different
ideas with them can be tricky. Firms are getting to know us now and know what we want. In the end it
looks great and is great for their portfolios.
Seydell Johnson commended parks staff on their landscaping practices, further stating that it adds a sense
of place and community and makes one realize you are in Iowa City.
ROBERT A. LEE REMODEL UPDATE — KUMI MORRIS
Seydell Johnson introduced Kumi Morris, City Facilities Manager, to the Commission. Morris presented
updates on the Robert A. Lee Recreation Center renovations.
Morris reported that staff is currently working on Phase 2 of this project. This phase includes ADA
requirements, kitchen wants and needs, rental wants and needs. All of these ideas have been packaged
and presented to City Council. Two major items being reviewed are the racquetball court as it does not
meet ADA requirements, safety and space needs. The second item is to install a family shower like what
has been added to the pool area at Mercer.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
May 8, 2019
Page 3 of 5
Staff sent out RFP's and reached out to anyone that would be a good fit for the racquetball area including
nonprofit groups. Staff received two proposals; one from Public Speaks and the other from the Bike
Library. Those proposals have been sent to Council for review.
Moms explained that the restroom renovations will include an adult changing table, as well as providing
an ADA accessible shower will be constructed space in that location. Due to space limitations, however,
only one shower will be constructed. The cost for the restroom renovation is $60,000.
PARKS DOG WASTE, GARBAGE & RECYCLING DISCUSSION — ZAC HALL
Commission had asked for regular updates on waste and recycling in Parks. Hall reported that after
RAGBRAI, staff took out 172 trashcans from City Park alone, and three recycling containers. This was
an experiment to see if homeowner style trash and containers could be used out there; it worked well for
refuse. Staff decided to keep them in City Park and localize them to restrooms, concessions, and
entrances. Staff reduced trash containers from 172 to 40 trash and 40 recycling. One of the key
components is that Parks now has their own trash truck. This truck has a cart tipper on the back. This has
made for more efficiency when picking up garbage and it has lowered the amount of trash in the parks.
Seydell Johnson noted that a common theme found by staff is that when the City doesn't provide garbage
cans, we have less trash issues. We find the same to be true with dog waste bags. Whenever dog waste
bags are provided there are issues with trash or dog waste being left behind. It doesn't seem to make sense
and has been interesting to track. Making it more convenient doesn't always lead to compliance.
Wills asked why someone would put trash anywhere besides in a trash bin. Bentler asked if there is a
biodegradable label on the bins. She noted that when staff moved the trash bins to the entrance at
Thomberry Dog Park, dog users were still piling their waste where the trash receptacle used to be.
Hall reported that one of the not so positive notes is that when it comes to recycling bins in City Park,
staff finds that they are almost always contaminated with diapers, food waste and other contaminants.
Staff will continue to monitor until the one-year mark. Hall stated that they will likely end up having the
recycling localized at the concession areas.
Hall shared that in 2017, parks staff logged 2,500 hours of trash and litter removal from parks; labor costs
equaled $72,000. He also reported that dog waste bags cost the City $8,000 annually while the contract
with Johnson County Refuse totals $4,000 and transient camp cleanups cost $5,000. Staff cleaned up 1.5
tons of trash along the Iowa River Trail and Riverfront Crossings Park. The total expense of these
combined is $90,000 annually which equals 5% of parks maintenance budget.
Bird asked if when someone rents a park shelter if trash bins are supposed to be taken to the site. He noted
that he was at an event recently and there was no bin provided. Hall reported that bins are provided on
request. The recycling coordinator is also rolling out a composting program and staff has been directing
people to her to coordinate getting composting bags for their events.
ATHLETIC FIELD UPDATE — BRAD BARKER:
Barker reported that numbers are adjusted to reflect a true representation of what the fields are used,
including those days that are likely to be impacted based on weather.
Barker shared that the soccer complex has remained steady. He explained that the ball diamonds are being
removed at the soccer complex and soccer fields put in their place. Smith noted that this is a nice
alternative when other places are flooded. Barker agreed and said that there is a lot of use despite the
weather.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
May 8, 2019
Page 4 of 5
Barker reported that use of the fields has dropped approximately 300 hours at each complex since 2015.
The soccer fields vs the ball diamonds serve different purposes and when we do less tournaments than we
used to, the use will drop.
Smith asked if there was no tangible plan for the Eastside Sports Complex. Seydell Johnson noted that
while it is in the master plan, there are no funds to build at this time.
Wills noted that City Park has been an issue because of unpredictable flooding which is why a lot of the
use there has declined. She asked if any conversations have morphed into any sort of indoor complex.
Seydell Johnson reported that there is a space designated for an indoor facility but no design for a
building beyond that. Wills shared that she has heard that some high school teams are practicing as late as
10 or 11 p.m. because they must wait to get on a field as there aren't enough to facilitate the demand. She
noted that the conversation seems to include soccer and baseball/softball only. She is talking about all
other sports that can benefit from a 25-acre spot. Seydell Johnson said that if the City were to move
forward on this, that would be the time to evaluate what the areas would be used for. She said that with
the Coralville arena, it's a constantly changing conversation. Wills asked if Iowa City kids were going to
have access to the Coralville Arena. Smith asked if there is a master plan in place for such a facility.
Seydell Johnson said that it has never been plugged into the CIP budget. Younker said his understanding
is that a complex would focus more on softball and baseball with different sizes based on what we already
have with some open space for other sports and a placeholder for an indoor complex. Seydell Johnson
said that staff will continue to evaluate.
REPORT ON ITEMS FROM CITY STAFF
Parks & Recreation Director — Juli Seydell Johnson:

Russell asked if staff knew what the plans are for the Forest View Development, specifically in regard to
cutting and/or replacing trees. Hall reported that staff met with the firm working on that project and gave
them input regarding tree selection. He said that they are meeting the requirements as suggested. Seydell
Johnson also pointed out that Lot 1 was a proposed gas station but is now being given to the City as open
space.
Bentler asked if Commission will have a chance to revisit the plan for Chauncey Swan Park. Seydell
Johnson noted that the park design has not changed and should be complete this year. She will send plans
out to the Commission.

To: Parks & Recreation Commission Members
From: Juli Seydell Johnson, Director of Parks & Recreation
Date: June 3, 2019
Re: Gather Here — 2017 Park Master Plan Update
Commission Role:
Provide feedback and recommendations regarding priorities for continued progress
implementing 2017 Park Master Plan and address equity gaps noted in the plan.
Background:
• The Gather Here Park Master Plan was written and approved in 2017. More than 425
Iowa City residents took advantage of opportunities to weigh in on this Park System
Master Plan.
The plan reviewed the park and open space opportunities in six planning districts. The
plan noted the following deficiencies:
o Central District — The park acres available per thousand demonstrates additional
park need. In particular, the most socio-economically challenged section of this
district is lacking park land and amenities. (Note: The Park Master Plan did not
consider University owned public spaces in calculations of park land and open
space.)
o West Central District — The socio-economically challenged area in the West
Central District is lacking parkland.
o South District — The South District is relatively well served with parks. However,
access to nearby parks is limited, especially access to traditional play.
o West District — This area is under -served by the parks system. Trails connecting
to Willow Creek and Kiwanis parks could assist in serving this population.
• The plan included an inspection of each park to identify barrios for physical access to the
park and primary features within the park. This information has been used to prioritize a
number of small projects throughout the system in increase physical access to parks.
Discussion:
Staff will review the progress made thus far on Master Plan projects. Staff and
Commission will then review each of the districts to discuss the deficiencies that remain.
This will build on the Commission's December discussions regarding locations of
different types of playgrounds owned by both the City and Iowa City Community School
District.
Information and priorities from this discussion will be presented to the City Council in a
future work session.

District Analysis
In 2013, the City adopted an updated
Comprehensive Plan titled, Iowa City 2030.
This comprehensive plan uses a district
planning process that involves extensive citizen
participation in ten distinct areas. As of the writing
!wolf I HriC:�

of this plan, eight of the ten areas have district
plans. For the purpose of ana"ng the park
system, the planning team created districts based

District Analysis —Population Metric
When looking at the service level of parks
within a district, it is useful to use the number
of park acres/1,000 residents as a standard
metric of comparison. To accomplish this
metric, population estimates were generated
pulling Census track data into ArcGIS to create
centroids of data that provided an estimate of
0 1 2M11.
while the North and South Districts have high
park acres -to -population ratios. These areas
may experience more pressure over time as
they are considered poised for future growth.
The West District's challenges may not be as
significant as they appear by the numbers,
residents living within a certain district. Looking
at the data, the North and South Districts have
relatively the same population; however, the
North District has fewer park acres/1,000
residents (40 acres) than the South District
(60 acres). Given their geographic size
difference, the population metric provides a
due to an affluent segment of the population
likely served in large part through private acres.
Neighboring system services also support
West District residents as well as University of
Iowa open spaces.The Central District includes
University of Iowa (UI) Pentacrest, Hubbard
relative equalizer when understanding the
different characteristics within each district.
When looking strictly at park acres per
1,000 population, the West, West Central
and Central Districts all surface as potentially
challenged by a shortage of park acreage,
Park, UI Library, UI Wellness Center and
other open spaces on the University grounds.
These facilities help meet some of the Central
District's needs but the West Central and
Central Districts remain as areas of concern for
park service.

District Analysis —Equity
Iowa City Packs & Recreation (ICPR) is
committed to using a Racial and Socioeconomic
Equity RevievvToolklt to guide policy, operational
and park development decisions. This process
acknowledges that race and income inequities
must be considered in all facets of parks and
recreation services to provide appropriate and
equitable services to all Iowa City residents. ICPR
is committed to building organizational capacity,
community networks and communication
strategies that allow Iowa Clty's diverse
populations to be heard and participate in
leadership, planning and evaluation of programs,
facilities and services.
Methodology
This study works to address equity through
review of a socio-economic map created by
analyzing 2010 Census data at the census
tract level for the following social indicators:
• Percent of families below poverty level
• Percent disability
• Race
• Educational achievement
Each indicator category was clipped along
Iowa City census tract boundaries and a
spatial analysis was performed that weighed
poverty indicators slightly more than the others
since several of the other Indicators could be
factors related to individuals and families with
incomes below the poverty level. The data was
classified to provide results to display areas
that indicate higher levels of poverty, more
racial diversity, less educational attainment,
and higher percentages of disabled residents.
Iowa City Is a college town and thus, students
with lower incomes could potentially skew the
results. To adjust for this potential outcome, the
inclusion of the "percent below poverty level
with related children of householder under 18
years" census category was used to normalize
the data.
Racial and Socioeconomic
Equity Review Toolkit
City staff from multiple departments
began using a racial and socioeconomic
equity review toolkit in July 2016. In
the pilot program, a series of questions
guided staff and the City Council to work
toward equity by helping to identify
when City policies, programs, initiatives
or practices could result in ddhrent
outcomes for certain populations Among
others, the Cilyt Parks and Recreation
Department Is apptying this toolkit to Its
decision making process. This toolkit,
when coupled with the ana/ys/s included
in this master plan, should lead to
improved decision making and outcomes
in support of racial and socioeconomic
equity. Cities using a similar too/kit
include Seattle, WA and Madison, M.
Results
This process yields a "heat map" with lower
wealth, lower education, and less mobility
in zones colorized in tans and browns, and
higher wealth, education and greater mobility
appearing in tones of deeper greens and blues.
The South District, and portions of the West
Central and Central Districts (on either side
of the river) surface as challenging zones.
Due to the lack of refinement of census
tracts, the entirety of the Western District also
appears to experience less wealth, education
and mobility —but this is misleading. Large
portions of that district are affluent, with the
lower -income areas concentrated on the west
side of Mormon Trek Boulevard. The heat map
highlights the areas of greatest concern (circled
in yellow).

s
With the exception of the South District, these
areas of concern are all under -served by the
parks system in terms of park acreage. The
following is an overview of the level of service
for each of these areas:
Central District
While the Central District appears well served
in terms of the number and mix of parks, the
park acres available per thousand Ore lowest
of all the districts) demonstrates additional park
need. In particular, the most socio-economically
challenged section of this district has a dearth
of parkiand/amenities.
West Central District
Similar to the Central District, the socio-
economically challenged area in the West
Central District is lacking parldand. For example,
even with a sidewalk connection on Miller Street
to the park, Benton Hill, the public parldand
In this area still faces significant accessibility
issues due to steep and busy streets.
South District
The South District is one of the more socio-
economically challenged areas in the City,
but it is also relatively well served with parks,
including two strong neighborhood parks
within the residential areas. However, access

to nearby regional parks is limited; since
most of the parldand is specialized in nature,
opportunities for traditional play (playgrounds,
open lawns) are more limited.
West District
Along the west side of Mormon Trek Boulevard
there is a large section of fairly dense housing
that is less affluent than its neighbors in the
far western portion of the district. This area is
under -served by the parks system but a trail
connection to Willow Creek and Kiwanls parks
in the West Central District could assist In
serving this population.

The southeast district plan proposes an

a park, trail and detention basin centered
around Snyder Creek. This master plan
supports that proposal. The park should

1. Add park amenities near Sunset
Street and Benton Street
There is a gap in park service between
Willow Creek Park and Benton Park.
Overall this district has the second lowest
amount of parkland of all the districts and
that is demonstrated in this area. Two
mini -parks offer limited service, but ideally
another neighborhood park is needed. It is
difficult to acquire parldand in a developed
neighborhood. In addition to watching
for opportunities to acquire property,
another option to help fill this gap is to
partner with Horn Elementary to allow
greater public access to their facilities.
Encouraging character components
in future parks beyond "play" is well
warranted in this district.
2. Add mini -park in Manville Heights
Lincoln Elementary is partially serving the
playground need of this neighborhood,
but access is limited to non -school hours.
Watch for an opportunity to acquire
property to establish a mini -park.
3. Improve connections to Benton
Hill Park
There is no sidewalk along the south
side of Benton Street leading to Benton
Hill Park. Add a sidewalk on the south
side of the street If feasible and/or add
a pedestrian crossing across Benton.
Explore options for a trail connection to
Benton Hill from the Highway 6 trail.

1. Watch for opportunities to
add parkland
Overall, the Central District is lacking
parldand, with 12.5 acres per 1,000
people —the lowest of all the districts.
Due to the highly developed nature of
this district, finding new land for parks is
difficult. The planned Riverfmnt Crossings
Park, to be built on the site of the old water
treatment plant, is a good example of the
kind of opportunity to look for in this district.

4. Acquire land for trail west of

The Southwest District plan
recommends adding a trail running
west from Hunters Run Park. The
city should continue to pursue this
by reserving the trail right-of-way
before the area develops. This district
lacks a variety of character as well as
connections; the "connect" character
is perhaps the most expedient way to
deliver a greater character mix to this
district.

Overall Park System Needs
In addition to the district -by -district needs
identified through the multi -tiered analysis
performed, this plan also identifies needs of
a broader -based nature-4hemes that ran
throughout the Iowa City Parks System, based on:
• The physical disability and maintenance
Inventory performed at the onset of this
project
• Needs that surfaced initially at the district
level, but resonate throughout the system
• Equity analysis
• Strategic directions based on public input
and park trends
Way4nding/Signage
As outlined In Chapter 5, way -finding and signage
is a priority for the park system overall. The
strategic framework calls for a brandlidentity
for the park system as important to its overall
success and that's challenging to accomplish
without increased consistency through the
signage system. Neady every park also struggles
with accessibility by virtue of little to no directional
signage. When the public is not aware of a park's
presence or simply struggles to find it, the system
and the public are short-changed.
Physical Accessibility
Iowa City's Parks and Recreation Department
works diligently to provide improvements to
accommodate accessibility throughout the
park system. This plan's primary goal targets
at least one fully accessible park in each
park planning district within the first year of
implementation (2019). The park system's
needs to achieve physical accessibility vary
from park to parkin some instances, it's a
simple matter of increasing mulch depth; In
others, playgrounds may need replacement
or parking and pathway facilities may require
adjustment. This plan takes a comprehensive
look at ADA access guidelines; an inventory of
the parks, included in the Appendix, provides
suggestions for Improvements at each park in
the system where changes are desired.
Maintenance
The level of maintenance varies significantly
based on the types of facilities and number
of park users visiting the park As Iowa
City continues to grow, and the community
demographics continue to diversify, parks will
be required to be more things to more people.
This will place a strain on Parks and Recreation
staff for both programming and maintaining
park facilities. At the same time, park
maintenance Is required to address upkeep of
200 acres of non -parklands.
Based on a growing number of parks and park
facilities and a limited number of professionally
trained maintenance providers, the department
will be required to be strategic in its
maintenance practices.
Equity Initiatives
While addressed more specifically within
the district -by -district analysis, with at least
three segments of the park system in need
of attention due to equity (and a fourth —the
South district —would benefit from some
additional neighborhood -style play), addressing
equity Issues has to surface as a system -wide
priority as well.
Ralston Creek
The strategic direction initially called for a
closer look at the potential at Ralston Creek,
but both the upcoming natural areas inventory
and the equity analysis conducted here really
bring home the importance of converting the
City's streams —particularly, Ralston Creek —to
accessible recreational features that accentuate
learning, reflection and nature -play. Developing
this greenway is likely one of the best
opportunities for the Central District, arguably
among the most economically challenged and
underserved areas in the system, to approach
equitable access to parks and recreation.
Technology
Iowa City's student population and the need to
address future interests in technology speaks to
the need to accommodate use of technology in
parks. Charging stations and/or Wi-F services
may prove an important way to provide user
security and convenience. When constructing
trail heads, welcome facilities or information
kiosks, this plan recommends considering
inclusion of a charging station --particularly in
parks likely to be frequented by young adults.
While programming Is beyond the scope of
this report, the future likely holds continued
expansion of technology for recreation,
Interpretation and waytlnding in parks and along
trails. Charging stations are an appropdate tool
to address that trend.
