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

increased student waste removal
