Skatepark
ordinace would
create advisory
commission
By LARA MOEHLMAN
Daily Staff Reporter
The Ann Arbor City Council
will meet Monday night to discuss
several resolutions, including an
agreement with Ann Arbor Recycle
to meet student move-in needs.
Council members will also discuss
the establishment of the Ann Arbor
Skatepark Advisory Committee
and an amendment to a lease of
the Longshore Park parking lot to
accommodate increased popularity
of the kayak and canoe rental busi-
ness, Argo Canoe Livery.
Resolution to increase student
move-out services
Last
June,
City
Council
approved a three-year contract
with Recycle Ann Arbor to pro-
vide complete solid waste services
at the corner of Tappan Street
and Oakland Avenue during stu-
dent fall and spring move-in at the
University. The $35,000 contract
includes staffing the site, providing
roll-off container service and reuse
options.
Recycle Ann Arbor is a non-
profit organization that provides
education and services in recycling
collection, processing and distri-
bution within the city.
Following
a
community-
expressed need for an extra week
of services during the fall, the city
proposed this increase to their
original waste removal plan. If
passed, the fall services will be
extended to a total of 21 days.
According to the contract, the city
can adjust the numbers as needed.
The spring move-in services will
remain at 12 days.
It was also discovered that there
was an increase in illegal dumping
of Freon-containing appliances,
exceeded the original contract’s
expectations. According to the
resolution, dumping levels may
remain at this higher level.
This extension of services will
increase the cost of the service by
$15,000 per year.
Resolution establishing Skate-
park Advisory Committee
Sponsored by councilmembers
Julie Grand (D–Ward 3) and Mike
Anglin (D–Ward 5), this resolution
proposes to establish a Skatepark
Advisory Committee to help Ann
Arbor operate and maintain the
Ann Arbor Skatepark, located at
Veterans Memorial Park on Jack-
son Avenue.
City Council approved an agree-
ment between the Friends of the
Ann Arbor Skatepark and the City
of Ann Arbor for the upkeep of the
park in July 2013.
If passed, the Skatepark Advi-
sory Committee would have nine
members serving two-year terms.
The members would be appointed
by City Council, and would include
at least one person from City Park
staff, Washtenaw County Parks &
Recreation staff and the City Park
Advisory Commission. The com-
mittee would also have at least two
people who are either director or
officer of the Friends of the Ann
Arbor Skatepark.
Resolution to amend a lease
with Huron River Holdings, Inc.
Since 2012, the parking lot at
416 Longshore Dr. has been used to
accommodate parking needs at the
Argo Livery.
The original lease terms stated
the city could use the parking lot
only until noon Saturdays, Sun-
days and holidays between Memo-
rial Day and Labor Day. However,
the Huron River and Cascades are
popular recreation sites for inner
tubing and kayaking, resulting in
the parking lot being used for over-
flow about every day of the week.
If passed, this resolution calls
for the city to pay an additional
$9,000 annually in response to the
increased use of the Longshore
Drive parking lot.
The terms of the lease will
extend from April 18, 2015, to Oct.
25, 2015, with an administrative
renewal option for two successive
one-year periods.
Student survey
talks poverty
By ALLANA AKHTAR
Daily Staff Reporter
At a panel hosted by the
University’s chapter of Col-
lege
Democrats
on
Thurs-
day, community leaders from
Washtenaw County discussed
several topics relating to income
inequality.
The event focused on several
different areas, namely poverty
and income inequality, as well
as local policy initiatives to
combat both issues.
On the panel were Yousef
Rabhi, vice chair of the Board
of Commissioners for Washt-
enaw County, Keta Cowan,
chief executive officer of Synod
Residential Services, a nonprofit
that provides services to mar-
ginalized and disabled citizens
in Southeast Michigan, and
Sociology Lecturer Ian Robin-
son, president of the Huron Val-
ley Central Labor Council.
The panel followed an unveil-
ing of a survey disseminated by
the College Democrats’ social
justice committee, JustDems,
to gauge campus awareness on
poverty. The survey included
270 University students, which
represents about 1 percent of
the undergraduate student pop-
ulation. Members of JustDems
were included in the survey
tally.
Results showed a lack of
awareness
about
the
issue
among respondents in several
areas. Survey respondents iden-
tified the minimum income a
family of four needs to afford
necessities for living as $58,437,
$34,187 under what the federal
poverty line estimates. Respon-
dents also misestimated the
percentage of the national pop-
ulation in poverty at 22 percent,
7.5 percent higher than the true
population.
However, when asked about
the survey results, Robinson
said students’ incorrect guesses
about the poverty line are not
entirely in touch with reality,
citing the United Way’s Asset
Limited, Income Constrained,
Employed report. The study
gauged
the
basic
minimal
income for a family to live in
Michigan was around $60,600,
significantly closer to the sur-
vey results than the federal pov-
erty line estimate.
From the survey results,
Cowan said she learned a major-
ity of students identified that
there is a standard of living
below which they are not inter-
ested in living, yet many Ameri-
cans do live below the poverty
line.
“Imagine
what
a
person
who’s actually impoverished is
experiencing, it’s not a quality
of life that any of you would be
interested in pursuing,” Cowan
said.
Robinson,
who
recently
spearheaded a report to gauge
the state of income inequality in
Washtenaw County, also high-
lighted several of the project’s
recommendations during his
comments.
The report found that income
inequality is growing in the
area and that more than half of
the county have seen a decline
in their pay since 2005. It sug-
gested the creation of a local
task force to combat income
equality, which has since been
created.

inequality but a growing share
