PLEASANT HILL PARKS & RECREATION Park Projects A new pergola swing will be constructed fall of 2018 at Copper Creek Lake Park. It will be located along the northeast side of the lake by the shoreline. This addition to our park is made possible by a significant donation from the Pleasant Hill Lions Club. The Pleasant Hill Lions Club is a local service organization committed to serving the community.

Construction on a new batting cage begins this fall. After 20 years, the old batting cage had to be removed for safety reasons.This summer the Pleasant Hill Parks and Recreation and the Pleasant Hill Little League received funding through the Polk County Betterment Grant and the Prairie Meadows Betterment Grant to fund a new batting cage at Doanes Park. The batting cage will allow for more practice time for the League and will provide another great amenity for the community to use in Doanes Park.

PLEASANT HILL FIRE DEPARTMENT Staffing Changes

The Pleasant Hill Fire Department is making improvements to better serve the community. For the first time in the Department’s history, the Fire Station started operating with 24-hour staffing on August 1, 2018. Based on a large increase in service calls, the Fire Department increased to staffing the Fire Station 12-hours a day last year. The calls have continued to increase, making 24-hour staffing the logical next step in keeping our community as safe as possible.

New Fire Engine

A new fire engine joined the Pleasant Hill Fire Department in July 2018. This engine is betterequipped with emergency medical equipment and fire suppression equipment. These features make it more versatile for the calls it can respond. The new apparatus is replacing an 18-year-old fire engine that was so well-maintained it will be kept as a tanker truck for situations requiring additional water. See a fire truck with a spinning light on the front? That is the new fire engine.

Firefighters’ Pancake Breakfast

Come meet your local fire department volunteers, friends and neighbors. Mercy One and Life Flight Helicopters will land for families to see. Donations will benefit the firefighters association. A Flu Shot Clinic will be available from 8 a.m.-10 a.m.

When: Saturday, October 13 Time: 7 – 11 a.m.

Where: Fire Station, 5151 Maple Drive, Pleasant Hill, IA Cost: Free will donation

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Fire Pits & Recreational Burning - Enjoy Fall with SMORE'S Fires contained within approved containers shall be a minimum of 15 feet from any combustible buildings or materials.

Open flames shall be a minimum of 25 feet from any combustible building or materials.

Fire shall be a maximum of 3 feet in diameter with a maximum flame height of 2 feet.

Open fire in excess of 3 feet in diameter, or a flame higher than 2 feet shall be a minimum of 50 feet away from any combustible building or material.

Fires shall be composed of natural kindling of trees and tree trimmings.

No rubbish of any type or rubber tires shall be burned at any time.

If conditions exist which would cause the fire to spread (winds, dry conditions), then open flames would be prohibited.

Fires shall be constantly attended until the fire is extinguished. A minimum of one portable fire extinguisher with a minimum 4-A rating, or other approved on-site fire extinguishing equipment such as a bucket of dirt or sand, water barrel, garden hose or water truck, shall be available for immediate use.

24

Balconies and Decks No cooking devices are allowed on balconies or within 10 feet of combustible construction. There is an exception to the rule, and that is if there is sprinkler protection provided on the balcony area. Buildings should not have any type of open flame on balconies or within 10 feet of the building. If a patio/deck is located on the ground floor, the grill may be moved 10 feet away and remain in compliance.

Yard Waste Yard waste, especially grass clippings, cannot be blown into City streets. Storm drains flow into pipes and drainage ways. When yard debris flows into the storm drain it gets clogged and will not allow water to pass.

This causes flooding problems. It is against City ordinance to discard yard waste into streets to prevent these potential flooding issues.

How to Properly Dispose of Yard Waste

Every Wednesday through November 29th the Metro Waste Authority will pick up your yard waste. Yard waste includes grass clippings, leaves, brush and garden waste.

Here are some tips: Tip 1: Use a Compost It! bag or generic bag. If using a generic bag, pair it with a Compost It! sticker purchased from the Pleasant Hill Hy-Vee or City Hall. Residents can also obtain a Compost It! cart similar to you recycling cart, as a convenient alternative to bags. Learn more about cart service by calling City Hall at 515-262-9368.

Tip 2: Ensure bags are visible with the label/sticker facing the street. It is recommended they are kept at least three feet from other carts.

If you have questions or for more information about Compost It! visit www.whereitshouldgo.com or call 515-244-0021.

PLEASANT HILL POLICE DEPARTMENT See Something, Say Something

The Pleasant Hill Police Department would like to remind residents that it is imperative for the public to provide authorities with any information on persons, vehicles or activities, which may not necessarily constitute a crime, but are deemed suspicious and out of the ordinary. Always be vigilant and act as Pleasant Hill’s ears and eyes when you are out within your neighborhood or metro area communities.

In Your Neighborhood Never spy on or pry into your neighbors' affairs or property, but do keep your eyes open, as you would in a neighborhood watch. Some things to be aware of: • Strange or abandoned vehicles on the side of the road.

• Service vehicles in front of houses, where that type of service isn't taking place.

• People you don't recognize hanging around your neighborhood for long periods of time.

• People videotaping or using surveillance equipment like binoculars.

• Unauthorized personnel around power lines, poles, transformer boxes, sewers, storm drains, gas lines or other utility equipment.

In the Workplace If something doesn't look like business as usual, don't hesitate to check with your boss or security personnel.

Some things to be aware of: • Packages, bags or boxes left unattended in public areas like a lobby or parking garage.

• Unexpected or odd-looking packages mailed to your place of business.

• People you don't recognize entering unauthorized areas.

• Anyone tampering with surveillance cameras, safety systems, machinery or other sensitive equipment • Exposed wiring, leaks, strange smells or other signs of potential tampering.

During Your Commute Stay alert around buses, bridges and roadways. If something doesn't look right, tell the nearest authority.

Some things to be aware of: • Bags, boxes or other packages left unattended on buses.

• Exposed wiring, leaks, strange smells or other signs of potential tampering on buses.

28

• People videotaping, sketching or taking notes on transit buses or around the facility.

• People who stay at bus stations for long periods without getting on.

Other Suspicious Activity • Strange vehicles left unattended near busy areas or under bridges.

• Strange packages left unattended in malls, parking garages, stadiums, theaters or other crowded public places.

• People wearing over-sized clothing for their body type or excessively bulky clothing in hot weather.

• Anyone abandoning an item behind and leaving the area quickly.

• People wearing a uniform, but not appearing to be involved in an appropriate activity.

• People openly possessing a weapon or dangerous item.

• Strange chemical smells.

Safe Winter Driving Tips

• Slow Down! Drive according to road and weather conditions. Remember, the posted speed limits are for ideal conditions and dry pavement.

• Clear snow and ice from ALL windows and lights especially the hood and roof, before driving.

• Leave plenty of room for stopping and brake early.

It takes more time to stop when roads are wet, snow covered or icy.

• Leave room for maintenance vehicles and snow plows - stay back at least 15 car lengths (200 feet), and don’t pass on the right.

• Watch for icy surfaces on bridges as bridge decks will ice up first.

• Pay attention to traffic up ahead. Actions by other drivers will and give you extra time to react and alert you to problems.

• Semi’s or large trucks take longer to stop - don't cut in front of them.

• Adjust to road conditions - the faster your vehicle is going, the more distance it will take to turn, slow, or stop.

• Allow extra time. Give yourself extra time to reach your destination when roads may be slick.

Consider delaying your trip.

• Buckle your seat belt (It’s the law anyway).

• Don't use your cruise control during winter conditions. Even roads that appear clear can have sudden slippery spots and the short touch of your brakes to deactivate the cruise control feature can cause you to lose control of your vehicle.

• Know the current road conditions. Call 511 or log onto the winter road conditions report website.

HELP US REDUCE BURGLARIES! Tips for your home: • Lock your doors • Light the outside (use motion lights to save electricity) • Close your garage door

Tips for your car: • Lock your car • Take your keys • Hide your valuables

Inside the Pleasant Hill Police Department with Chief Al Pizzano Q: How many members make up the Pleasant Hill Police Department?

A: 30. We have 1 School Resource Officer at Southeast Polk High School and 1 School Resource Officer at Southeast Polk Junior High. We have 2 detectives, 1 of which serves on the FBI Cyber Task Force. We have 3 Patrol Sergeants, 9 full-time Patrol Officers, 2 part time Patrol Officers, one K-9 unit, 1 Captain, 1 Community Service Officer, 1 Police Administrative Aid, 7 Reserve Officers, and 1 Police Chief.

Q: How does the Police Department work to positively impact the City of Pleasant Hill?

A: We work cooperatively with our community and businesses to identify and resolve issues, to improve the quality of life within the residential and commercial areas within our city.

Community policing is a strategic response in the prevention, identification, and intervention of communit issues before they become bigger problems. Our Officers are encouraged to develop and maintain relationships with citizens, businesses, schools, and community organizations. Our 2 patrol territories within Pleasant Hill facilitate the partnership between our community members and their Police Department. Each officer is assigned to a specific territory within the city. Pleasant Hill Police Officers establish and maintain day-to-day interaction with residents and businesses within their territories to be proactive and prevent crime and other quality of life issues before they happen.

Q: What can resident’s do to help the Police Department?

A: The Police Department asks our residents to be alert for any suspicious persons or behavior and contact the Pleasant Hill Police Department if you see something suspicious in our community. We strongly encourage residents to follow these simple guidelines to minimize your risk of becoming a victim of property crimes.

• Keep garage doors closed anytime you are going to be out of immediate sight of your garage.

• Lock your vehicle and remove all valuable property from within whenever your vehicle is going to be left unattended for any period of time.

• Keep your purse, wallet, electronics and any other valuable items with you at all times when you are out, and avoid leaving them in your vehicle.

30

• Only take necessary valuables with you when you go out. Leave any valuables, important documents and unnecessary cash, credit cards and electronics secured at home instead of routinely carrying them around needlessly in your vehicle, wallet or purse. We ask our community partners, IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING, and contact the Pleasant Hill Police Department at 515-265-1444.

Q: What is the biggest challenge the Pleasant Hill Police Department currently faces?

A: Currently, our biggest challenge is our work space, meaning our Public Safety Building. We do not have the necessary space to house our current staff and are unable to hire additional officers even as the City of Pleasant Hill grows because we do not have enough space. Our residents expect the very best from their Police Department and our current facility makes it more difficult to provide the professionalism the community expects.

Q: What is your favorite part about working in Pleasant Hill?

A: Our residents! Our Department has a true partnership with our residents. The Police Department is very fortunate to have the support of our community. While I am out on patrol in the community residents wave hello and sometimes stop me to thank the Police Department for its work. During holidays and other special events, we receive food baskets from businesses and churches acknowledging the hard work of the men and women that make the Pleasant Hill Police Department. I can’t thank our community enough for their assistance and cooperation to make the City of Pleasant Hill a great place to live and work.

COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS Infrastructure Projects

NE 70th Street Reconstruction (including 400’ east of Meacham Dr) Project Description: NE 70th Street between University Avenue and NE Rising Sun Drive is currently undergoing a complete reconstruction to bring the road design to current safety standards. The reconstruction includes an intersection (roundabout) at NE 70th Street and NE Rising Sun Drive and is designed to eventually continue further south and create a new boulevard section which connects to SE 6th Avenue at SE 68th Street near Four Mile Elementary School. Pleasant Hill’s Public Arts Advisory Commission has contracted with the Greater Des Moines Public Art Foundation to assist with the process of hiring an artist and acquiring the City’s first piece of public art to be installed in the newly constructed roundabout.

The Public Arts Advisory Commission received a $15,000 grant from Bravo Greater Des Moines toward this piece of art.

Park and Trail Projects

Hickory Glen Park Project Description: The City of Pleasant Hill purchased 77 acres of ground in 2015 southwest of Four Mile Elementary School for future parkland following a recommendation from the Comprehensive Plan and Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan. In 2016, the City hired Confluence Landscape Architects to complete a comprehensive Master Plan for the Park.

Following adoption of the Master Plan, a contest was held to name the park ground by a local resident. Hickory Glen Park is designed to serve many users over many generations, and full build out is a long term process.

The overall Master Plan construction is estimated to cost over $17,000,000.

Project Update: Two contracts have been approved for park design. The initial contract is wrapping up completion and has conducted survey work, permitting, and research. The second contract includes the design of Phase 1 of the park including grading and utility work. Estimated Cost: Phase one will be refined following the completion of design and estimated to be around $2,000,000.

Youngstown Trail Project Description: Youngstown trail is a local trail network which provides a connection for residents to travel throughout the community and connect to over 600 miles of trails through the Central Iowa Trail Network via the Gay Lea Wilson Trail.

Project Update: Phase II of Youngstown Trail which extends from the Gay Lea Wilson Trail at Parkridge Avenue and continues east to Pleasant Hill Boulevard has completed design which includes the trail and several storm water improvements. The City has acquired all necessary property and easement acquisition needed to construct the project. The City applied for grant funding through the Iowa Department of Transportation and any construction is pending the results of the funding application.

Estimated Cost: $777,000 Estimated Project Timeline: Construction is anticipated to begin in 2019.

PUBLIC WORKS Snow and Ice Control Residents are required to remove snow and/or ice from the sidewalks in front of their property within 24-hours after the end of a snow event. Failure to remove the snow within the 24-hour time frame may result in the city removing the snow and/or ice and billing the homeowner for removal.

Parking on all city streets is prohibited during a snow emergency. Snow emergencies are enacted when 2 or more inches of snowfall is forecasted. If a snow emergency is in effect there will be an alert on the City’s website, Facebook, and Twitter accounts.

Responsibility of Property Owners BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR:

It is the responsibility of property owners to remove snow and ice from sidewalks promptly, creating a minimum 36” wide path. If the ice cannot be removed, it should be treated with sand, salt, or other non-slippery substance. If the sidewalk is not cleared, the City will advise tenants and property owners to keep sidewalks clean and clear. However, if this duty is neglected, the snow and ice will be removed at the cost of the owner.

The City may also choose to issue a citation to the property owner in the amount of $30 for the first violation and $75 for each subsequent violation.

Do not dump snow from your driveway and sidewalk in the street. Not only is it against City of Pleasant Hill Code of Ordinances, but

34

¹

when the street snow plow comes, the snow from the street will land in the next open space, typically your neighbor’s driveway.

FIRE HYDRANTS

Residents are encouraged to keep a three foot clearance around fire hydrants to ensure they are accessible, in the event of a fire. If you do not have a hydrant in your yard, consider adopting one. This is a great way to ensure it is always clear during a snow event.

MAILBOXES

In order to ensure letter carriers are able to provide safe and timely mail delivery, clear enough snow from curbside boxes to allow mail trucks to approach the box, deliver the mail and to drive away from the box without danger of the need for backing. The carrier needs to get in, and then out, without leaving the vehicle or backing up.

PRIORITY SNOW ROUTE EXHHIBIT A

Priority Snow Routes

In order to make the most efficient use of available resources it is necessary to establish priority snow routes. These routes are determined by street classification and proximity to these higher classified roads (connector streets). These routes will be the priority for equipment operators when the snow starts to fall and will continue to be priority until the snow stops.

Exhibit A, is a list of the priority snow routes, of this policy shows their location in relation to the entire city.

Snow Plowing The depth and timing of snow accumulations, along with traffic volumes, will normally dictate when snow removal operations begin. Removal will take place during a snow event as needed to keep accumulations on the pavement surface at a manageable level. It is likely that several passes will be made on most streets to clear accumulated snow from the roadway. Three Snow removal operations will start with equipment operators clearing snow from the major snow routes, outlined above. Once these routes are cleared, the equipment operations will move into the residential districts.

Exhibit B shows the routes and districts divided up when three (3) equipment operators are being utilized, which is the standard procedure given the staffing resources the department currently has.

Throughout the snow event staff will keep the south complex emergency service doors cleared of snow to provide access.

Once the snow event has slowed or stopped, or prior to the opening of the public buildings, the Park’s staff will clear snow from the parking lots of the city complexes and youth center. Once these parking lots have been cleared, they will move to clearing snow from the cemetery, sidewalks and trails.

Once the residential districts are complete, or substantially completed, available equipment operators will start to clear snow from the cul-de-sacs within the city. Removing snow in the cul-de-sacs could start earlier depending on available staff from the Public Works or Parks and Recreation Department.
