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. “There is not only … growing inequality but a growing share City Council to consider possible increased student waste removal ON THE WEB... michigandaily.com THE WIRE Turkey runs loose in Bursley BY TANAZ AHMED Thanksgiving came early to North Campus this year.
