CIP 2023-2027 — Jul! Seydell Johnson, Director of Parks and Recreation
Director Johnson presents the attached PowerPoint about the 2023-2027 CIP Plan
Commissioner Wills asks how the presumed income of a neighborhood is determined when deciding CIP
Priority. Director Johnson makes the distinction that projects are prioritized by numerous factors, of
which includes the income of a neighborhood as determined by Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) federal guidelines.
Commissioner Morelli asks why City Hall Repairs (R4129) falls under the Parks and Recreation budget
plan. Director Johnson explains that this is because of the Parks and Recreation division, Government
Buildings, that makes up all of the maintenance and custodial staff for City Hall, the Police Station, the
Fire Department, the Animal Shelter, the Senior Center, and the two Recreation Centers.

Commissioner Morelli asks regarding the Aug. 2020 Derecho, what plans there were to replace trees on
the east side of Iowa City, specifically along Friendship Street. Superintendent Baird replies that
Friendship Street can be a tricky situation, depending on how wide the available space is and what yard
trees are in the area. Currently, there are several Ash Trees in yards that would have to come down before
any more trees can go up.
Commissioner Wills asks if the Pickleball/Tennis Court Renovations (R4391) would include any kind of
expansion or if it is strictly a renovation. Director Johnson replies that the $400,000 listed in the CIP
would be enough to rebuild what is already present without an expansion, giving a solid foundation
without cracks. Johnson says that it is not out of the question, further into the design phase to look at what
it would cost for new additions (i.e., Shaded Space or Benches) and if fundraising would be necessary.
Commissioner Morelli asks if the Carson Lake Park Planning (R4403) would be located on the west side
of Iowa City. Director Johnson replies that this would be far west, past Old Highway 218. Johnson adds
that the land is currently not in city boundaries and would have to be annexed down the line.
Commissioner Morelli inquiries about the Waterworks Prairie Park Kayak Launch (R4396), asking how
close the launch point would be from the Iowa River Power Dam. Director Johnson replies that there is
the possibility of a water trail which would be made up of multiple smaller ones along the river. None of
the water trails would go very far in the river on their own and should be smaller area attractions. These
would circumvent obstructions in the river such as dams.
Commissioner Wills asks regarding City Park Pool Renovations (R4229), when the bathroom is open to
both the pool and the larger park, how will patrons who have paid for entry be separated from those using
the park. Director Johnson explains that there would likely be 2 single -use restmorns that are on the
outside facing the rest of the park. This way the bathrooms/showers can be close enough to each other and
still be separated between pool users and general park use.
Commissioner Wills asks if Carson Lake Park would be used for activities such as kayaking or fishing.
Director Johnson responds such activities would be encouraged and that the current intention for the area
would be a recreation space similar in use to the Terry Trueblood Recreational Area.
Commissioner Morelli asks about how much physical space would be involved with Carson Lake Park.
Superintendent Baird explains that the lake at TTRA is 100 acres and would be comparable in size to
Carson Lake. An additional few hundred acres would be necessary for the actual trails. Morelli asks if
there any expectations to developers to contribute back. Director Johnson explains that at the very least
there will be an open space dedication for any developments. Johnson continues that negotiations have
already been happening for 2 years now and is expected to take a while. Commissioner Serenda asks how
the land is currently being used. Johnson answers that the land is largely used agriculturally but does
include some wetlands.
Commissioner Wills asks regarding the Park Maintenance Storage Barn (R4401) if the cold storage at
Kicker's would survive past the water treatment expansion. Director Johnson confirms that this would be
in a location that would not have to be moved down the line.
Commissioner Wills asks if Riverfmnt Crossing Park, Phase 4 would include the amphitheater. Director
Johnson explains that Phase 4 would include the amphitheater, kayak launch, and other additional
amenities to the north west corner of the park. These amenities would follow the river north and are
waiting for the land to be in a more definitive area of use.

Commissioner Wills asks if the raising of the road in Lower City Park would be used for flooding
prevention. Director Johnson confirms that the raising of the road would protect the ball fields and the
Riverside Theater from flooding.
Commissioner Wills asks if there has ever been consideration towards a comprehensive river masterplan
between Iowa City, Coralville, and the University of Iowa. Director Johnson replies that there has been
off and on talks regarding the subject. Johnson does mention that there is a university plan that is roughly
2/3 of the way complete that has both Iowa City and Coralville have been involved with. Johnson says
that a lot of the past cooperation between these entities is for applying to state grants together. Johnson
refers to the Peddle Paddle program that is made up of smaller projects through Coralville, Iowa City, and
the larger county to build a singular system that would be based around the river.
Commissioner Morelli asks if there were plans for bike trails at Riverfront Crossings Park on the west
side of the river. Director Johnson replies that trails aren't out of the questions but that there are some
landowner issues with the area on the west side of the river. Johnson says that if there are changes in
development across the river, the department would look into what can be done for park land.
Moved by Morelli, seconded by Serenda, to recommend to council to approve the 2023-2027 CIP
plan. Motion passed 6-0 (Penandio Lemoupa, Schmidt, & Odinet absent)
REPORT ON ITEMS FROM CITY STAFF
Parks & Recreation Director — Juli Sevdell Johnson
Pool Counts: Director Johnsons goes over the newly formatted pool admissions count. Johnson details
that the numbers are daily counts by the hour of people checking in to use the pool through both swim
passes and daily admission. Johnson makes the distinction that this counts admissions into the pool and
not actual bodies in the water. Johnson notes other counts not associated with normal open swim and how
they are tracked. Water Fitness numbers are tracked by the instructors. Swim Team count are given by the
swim team for how many people are using the pool. Swim Lessons, which are currently only based out of
RAL are based on registration for the class, so even if some patrons don't show up for their lesson, they
are still counted to the maximum that there normally would be present. There is also an event count which
tracks attendance of events such as the Pumpkin Float or the evening $2 swims. Each of these counts are
compiled into a total which is divided into an average per day attendance. All the totals and averages are
gathered into a Grand Total and Average for that pool. On the Mercer swim count there a separate total
and average gathered only from the hours that Robert A. Lee pool is open. This is to compare both pools
counts only when both pools are open. Johnson explains that Recreation staff looks over these numbers
approximately every three months to see how use has changed and if pools hours need to follow suit.
Commissioner Wills asks if pool counts go up in the winter when there are less outdoor activities.
Director Johnson replies that numbers have not seen a large bump in attendance at either facility as City
Park Pool fell out of season, indicated that those that swim at City Park Pool are specifically only going to
that city pool. Commissioner Wills asks if individual swim lessons are being discontinued. Johnson
replies that the number of individual lessons is being reduced to try and get more kids through the
program at a time. Wills clarifies asking if this is the case for adaptive individual lessons. Superintendent
Barker answers that the individual adaptive lessons would stick around and that it is only regular private
lessons that are being reduced.

Director Johnson addressed that the pool counts numbers that originally went out in the commission
packet were updated and that the current numbers will be added online.
Recreation Division Superintendent — Brad Barker
Programming: Superintendent Barker recalls the recent Halloween Carnival which has had a turnout of
1000 people. The carnival utilizes all the space in the Robert A. Lee Recreation Center. Weather allowed
for a new outdoor section with music, a firepit, and treats. Barker announces that Winter -Spring program
registration will begin for Iowa City residents on December 13, 2022 and December 14, 2022 for
nonresidents.
Farmers' Market: Superintendent Barker details the upcoming Holiday Market. It will take place 8:00 am
to 1:00 pm on November 12, 2022 and December 17, 2022 at the Robert A. Lee Recreation Center. The
Holiday Market has many vendors booked to bring a variety of goods for sale.
Hiring Staff. Superintendent Barker mentions that Recreation is always looking for people to hire for
upcoming programs and activities. Commissioner Wills asks if this is full time, part time, or seasonal.
Barker clarifies that that is both seasonal and year-round work to be had. Chairman Hachtman asks what
the age demographic for the positions would be. Barker explains that for lifeguards, if they are 15 years
old, they can be hired and will receive appropriate training, but other program areas typically hire 16 and
up. Wills asks if the work would be for youth or adult programming and what the rate would be. Barker
replies that it would be for all areas of recreation and that while the rates depend on the job, Parks and
Recreations minimum wage is $15 an hour.
Parks Division Superintendent — Tyler Baird
Trees: Superintendent Baird announces that a great number of fall tree plantings have finished including
both contracted street work as well as staff and volunteer events like at Riverfront Crossings Park. Baird
explains that this raises the number of trees that Parks & and Forestry and watering to over 1000 trees.
Projects: Superintendent Baird talks on several park projects including Court Hill Park, Chadek Green
Park, the Ped Mall playground, and Whispering Meadows Park. Chadek Green is getting its restroom and
walking paths installed. Court Hill Park is very close to completion. The Ped Mall playground is fully
open and is getting lots of public use. The Willow Creek trail has had honey suckle removed to prepare
for project work next year. The Whispering Meadows Park project has been completed.
Commissioner Wills asks Superintendent Baird if it's still in the plan to clear the trails around Terry
Trueblood. Baird confirms this, saying that the same trails as last year will be cleared.

Commissioner Serenda thanks Parks staff for the trees planted in the south district. Serenda appreciates
the attention to detail with each tree being labeled with its species, saying that it's changed the character
of the neighborhood.
Commissioner Forbes thanks City staff for the work being done while under the scrutiny that they are.
Forbes acknowledges a letter given to the commission and makes the specific distinction that the
Commission's role in relation to the City Council is a recommending body and not a legislative body and
that the City Council does not have to follow what is recommended by the commission.
Commissioner Forbes asks if there was an update regarding City Park Pool and the Historical
Preservation Commission. Director Johnson answers that the HPC recommended to council to explore
minimal invasive ways to preserve and add accessibility to the existing pool basin before the city
demolishes it. Johnson continues that City Council chose not to change their action on the master plan
based on the recommendation.
Commissioner Morelli comments that he has been watching the progress of the various park projects and
is excited to see their conclusion and how the public will appreciate them.
Moved by Forbes, seconded by Wills, to adjourn the meeting at 6:18 a.m. Motion Passed 6-0

Date: January 6, 2023
To: Juli Seydell Johnson, Director of Parks & Recreation
From: Brad Barker, Superintendent of Recreation
Re: Parks and Recreation Fees and Charges
Commission Role:
Provide review, recommendations, and approval
Background:
The City Code requires the Parks and Recreation Department to submit a schedule of fees and charges every year
for approval by City Council. The Parks and Recreation Commission annually reviews and approves fees and
charges for all Parks and Recreation Department services and programs.
Fees were increased in FY23. Staff generally will alternate years between fee increase proposals. Accordingly, FY24
would be a year where fee increases would typically not be proposed. High inflationary pressures, however, have
continued to push the cost of goods and services higher over the past year. These costs have increased the City's
cost in operating facilities, amenities and programming.
With the high inflationary environment as a consideration, staff is proposing two FY24 fee schedule options for
Commission review. One proposal has no fee increases. The other has suggested fee increases for most services in
the realm of 2-5%. The reasoning for the variation in percentages is to round numbers to the nearest dollar in
order to simplify the user registration experience. The lower the cost, the higher the percentage increase needed
to get the fee to the next round dollar amount, which is why some percentage increases may seem high.
Exceptions and anomalies are noted below.
Notable variations in the recommended user fees include:
• Farmers Market:
Vendor fees have no proposed fee increases. This recognizes that some vendors may have new
additional expenses as a result of Farmers Market policy now requiring all vendors carry liability
insurance with the City listed as additional insured.
• Recreation Programs (General)
c Some program areas have adjusted base and/or maximum fees. These were changed to better
reflect the needs of the community.
• Aquatics
o Group lessons have no proposed fee increases in an effort to keep this option as affordable as
possible. Affordable lessons aligns closely with the department's 'Every Child in Iowa City Learns
to Swim' initiative.
o Private lesson options have been removed as the department strives to focus on teaching more
children how to swim through group and adaptive lessons.
o Water Fitness pricing structure has been adjusted to better reflect the needs of current
operations. This includes landing on a fee for monthly drop -in passes that appropriately balances
with full -session registration fees.
o General daily admissions and passes for the swimming pools do not have proposed fee increases.
• Dog Parks
o No recommended increases in fees due to consistently larger net revenue in relation to other
program areas.

Iowa City Parks & Recreation Commission Packet
January 2023
Upcoming Events
• M LK Day of Service Event; January 16, Mercer Park Aquatic Center, 10 am — 2 pm

• Freeze Fest; February 5, Terry Trueblood Recreation Area, 1— 3 pm
• Rollerskating; Saturdays January 14 through May20, RALCRC, Beginner-2-4 pm, All ages —5-7.30 pm
Notable from Parks & Recreation Staff
Parks:
• Forestry is working on structure pruning of street trees.
• Tree planting plans for the southeast area of town are underway and the residents of the neighborhood
have been notified via door hanger flyers and Nextdoor posting.
• Staff is coordinating with the Streets Division to remove hazardous trees and invasive shrubs along
Riverside Dr near the VA.
• Snow removal occurred around the Christmas holiday with staff coming in on scheduled days off to keep
the drifts cleared.
• Staff are working on equipment and building maintenance projects on poor weather days.
• Seasonal hourly positions will be posted this month to start the hiring process for the spring season.
• 2023 park projects are progressing in the design/planning process, and projects will be bid for spring
construction start dates.
Recreation:
• Holiday Market — The Holiday Market registration was full at 82 vendors with several placed on a waiting list.
The market brought in a lot of people through the RALCRC doors and the event was a success.
• Farmers Market —Registration will begin mid -January; market starts in May
• Aquatics —This is the first season where private lessons were removed in favor of offering more group
lessons. This transition is consistent with the Every Child in Iowa City learns to swim mission. Many sessions
are full but there are still group lesson options available at all swim levels.
Facilities:
• Application deadline for the new Government Buildings Part-time weekend custodian closes on January 3'a
• Staff met on site with Shive-Hattery to walk through the Mercer ADA Pavement and exterior lighting
replacement project. The project involves removing and replacing the concrete paving at the main east
Iowa City Parks and Recreation Commission Packet I City of Iowa City
entrance side of the building and bring the exterior paving, sidewalks, and neighboring ADA parking to the
building into ADA compliance. The work will also involve reducing the concrete and increasing planting
areas and improving the exterior lighting with LED fixtures. Staff are reviewing spring and fall schedules for
this exterior work.
Cemetery:
• Equipment repair and maintenance projects between snow events.
• Staff will begin filling in some low spots in the cemetery once we get a good ground freeze.
Top Staff Issues
Parks
• Winter illnesses and holiday vacations have been impacting employee schedules.
• The prolonged snowstorm required considerable efforts over a holiday weekend.
Recreation
• Illnesses have had an impact on employee schedules.
• Winter/Spring programming has begun and staff has started planning for summer.
Facilities
• Facilities staff are challenged with keeping office staff and patrons comfortable with the extreme swings
in temperatures through the last couple of weeks of December and early January. With the 65-degree
outdoor air temperature change in the course of a day, had staff scrambling to manually adjust
temperatures in spaces.
• Covid and other illness continue to impact custodial and maintenance staff availability.
Cemetery:
• Snow and Ice removal as needed.
• Staff will work on pruning trees once the ground freezes up again.
