TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: City Ordinance 10-5A-1: Park Rangers
DATE: June 9, 2015
In response to City Council request, Leisure Services Manager Marie Ware is providing
background information related to Park Rangers, the change in the job description and
dropping the law enforcement requirement that led to the recommended ordinance
change.
Marie Ware recommends the City Council repeal City Ordinance 10-5A-1 which
requires a Park Ranger to be a certified Law Enforcement Officer. In April of 2014 the
job description for Park Ranger was changed and a Park Ranger is no longer required
to be a certified Law Enforcement Officer.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

SUBJECT: Park Ranger Background Information
DATE: June 8, 2015
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide background information related to Park
Rangers.
BACKGROUND
During the June 1, 2015 City Council meeting the City Council requested additional
information regarding the background related to the changes in the job description and
dropping the law enforcement requirement that led to the recommended ordinance
change. The new job description was approved in April of 2014 and the changes went
into effect at that time. The job description is attached. This was done in consultation
with Assistant City Attorney Crenna Brumwell, Personnel Director Randy Peck, Chief of
Police Mark Dalsing, and yourself. Chief Dalsing also consulted his command staff for
their input and feedback.
DISCUSSION
Typical Park Ranger Duties:
Park Rangers are the eyes and ears of the Park Division. They perform numerous
tasks which include customer service as well as maintenance duties. A typical evening
for a Ranger involves making sure buildings are locked/unlocked, taking care of issues
such as tripped breakers, trash and citizen concerns, documenting and reporting
vandalism to unclogging a toilet in a park restroom. They interact a lot with the persons
that have pavilion rentals. They communicate with the Leisure Services staff on a
regular basis to identify and address new issues and concerns. They work very closely
with the COP's and City Police and County Sherriff Departments.
Customer service is a major role for the park rangers. They spend time to educate the
public and interact with them. They enforce the rules but also educate the community
1
through their role. In the last several years park rangers have spent more time outside
their vehicles interacting with the youth and visitors to parks and trails. They can write
tickets for municipal infractions such as dogs in parks or parking in park areas
overnight.
Additional duties include turning on and off security lighting in parks, turning on and off
lights for fish flies which includes parking ramps and downtown lights, plus locking and
securing facilities, gates and buildings. They are always on the lookout for burned out
security park lights or other maintenance items that need attention to get on a repair
schedule.
Another duty is night deposit collection. Park rangers make nightly or as needed bank
deposits for Eagle Point Park toll booth, Sutton Pool, and Miller Riverview Park and
Campground. They collect the revenue from the Pet Park while enforcing the rules and
also collect the money from the viewing towers at Eagle Point Park. They also hire and
supervise the Eagle Point toll booth staff.
Park rangers covers the entire parks and trails system. They typically patrol covering
50 parks and 53 miles of both on-street trail routes and off-road trails in addition to other
Leisure Services Department cared for areas. There is a maximum of two park rangers
on a night or weekend shift covering all of the above. This year at times there is one
person on duty for the entire city. When two park rangers are on duty they each cover
one half of the city.
Park rangers still assist the Police Department when they are requested. They can
assist to block a street for a parade procession or other request. They assist in traffic
control as needed. This is important during storms. Park rangers stop to report
incidents like possible drunk drivers, power line down or accident if first on the scene.
They are an extra set of eyes for the police. If police respond first to a call in a park,
park rangers are backup. Their presence in the parks is still viewed by the police
department as a deterrent for those considering misbehavior. When they do see
something they address it based on the nature of the event, their own comfort level, and
summon officers when necessary.
Chief Mark Dalsing researched calls for service to all Dubuque parks, and for FY2013
there were 864 calls to the Dubuque Parks and the current full time park ranger
responded as either the primary or an assisting officer to 97. In FY14 the numbers were
92 of 800.
Park Ranger Work Schedule:
Park Patrol is budgeted to work during the "park season." The season is the first
weekend of May until the last weekend of October. This is approximately seven months.
In the off season of November through April we still have park users and the parks are
open but there is no park ranger on duty. Incidents can and do occur during these
months and are handled by the Police Department.
2
It is important to note that the remaining 5 months, the full time park ranger(s) performs
Maintenance Worker duties for the Park Division. Typical responsibilities include snow
removal, facility maintenance and repair, winterization and de-winterization of facilities,
park maintenance as weather allows, cross training with the forestry activity, and other
maintenance duties in the Park Division.
The schedule below shows the patrol schedule before the hiring freeze at full staffing
levels:
Old Park Ranger Season Schedule: (3584 hours): 2 full time (2264 hours) and 3
seasonal (1320 hours)
Sunday 2 Rangers 8:00 a.m. — 11 :00 p.m.
Monday -Thursday 2 Rangers 3:00 — 11 :00 p.m.
Friday 2 Rangers 4:00 p.m. — Midnight
Saturday 2 Rangers 8:00 a.m. — 11 :00 p.m.
The schedule below shows the new patrol schedule presented to you as well as the City
Council during the budget presentations. This new schedule with reduced hours has
only one person on patrol on Tuesdays as well as one person for certain hours the other
six days. The busiest hours and days are when two people are scheduled.
New Park Ranger Season Schedule: (2,452 hours): 1 full time (1132 hours) and 2
seasonal (1320 hours)
(Schedule reduced by 1,132 hours during season due to FT position frozen.)
Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday 1 Ranger 2:30 — 10:30 p.m.
Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday 1 Ranger 6:30 — 10:30 p.m.
Tuesday 1 Ranger 2:30 — 10:30 p.m.
Friday, Saturday 1 Ranger 3:30 — 11 :30 p.m.
Friday, Saturday 1 Ranger 5:30 — 11 :30 p.m.
The budgeted hours available do not allow coverage when the full time ranger is off for
vacation or sick leave. Those hours are left unpatrolled as the budget does not cover
that. An improvement package was developed to have that coverage but was not
recommended or approved.
Seasonal park maintenance staff is now scheduled at Eagle Point Park, Murphy Park,
and Flora Park on both weekend days to assist with customer concerns and issues in
the absence of park ranger hours.
This year the one full time park ranger began his duties the second week of April, three
weeks earlier than scheduled. This allowed one person coverage five nights a week
during April and began on April 8th. It however shorted the Park Division another
Maintenance Worker during preparations to open parks for the season. This
compounded the staff shortage in the parks division since there were already four
frozen full time positions open (one full time maintenance worker, one full time park
ranger and two full time assistant horticulturalists) and one maintenance worker off
recovering from surgery.
3
Equipping Park Rangers:
Currently there is one full time park ranger and two seasonal park rangers. They all
wear the same khaki-colored uniform. That did not change when the job description
changed. A citizen cannot, and prior to the change did not, distinguish between a full
time or seasonal. The only change was the badge they wore before the job description
change. The badge formerly said Park Police and now their badge reads Park Ranger.
Seasonal park rangers perform the same duties, wear the same uniform and drive the
same vehicle. However they did not carry guns prior to the change in job description.
They were/are not certified law enforcement officers. The general public would not
have known the difference except the full time carried a gun.
All park rangers, whether the former sworn officers or the seasonal non-sworn officers
are equipped with 800 Mhz radios and are on the same frequency as the Dubuque
Police Department and all traffic goes through the Dubuque County 911
Communications Center.
A recent addition in the last year has been the purchase of City cell phones for both
patrol vehicles. Body cameras have also been purchased and are being used for the
safety and security of the citizens and the staff. The cell phones and radios give park
rangers immediate access to the Police.
All of the law enforcement decals were removed from the vehicles. Before and after
pictures are attached for reference. The patrol vehicles are used during the day by the
Park Division Manager and other park personnel. When the change was made from
park ranger cars to park ranger trucks this was a stated purpose of switching to a truck.
It is versatile and could be used as a part of the park fleet during the day versus sitting
in a garage.
Changes Made When Job Description Changed:
• Park rangers no longer carry a gun, handcuff or baton.
• Park rangers no longer have arrest power.
• Park rangers no longer are able to enforce traffic laws.
• Park rangers still have radios in the truck and hand-held radios.
• Mobile computers were removed from vehicles.
• The Ranger vehicles no longer have a red and blue light bar as it was replaced
with a yellow light bar. The words Law Enforcement were removed from the
truck. The sirens were disconnected.
• Park rangers continue to write municipal infractions with training from the City
Attorney's office.
• Park rangers continue to wear the same uniform.
• Park rangers carry pepper spray and at times they wear vests. Vests are worn
by personal preference.
• Park rangers still attend a modified field training officer program with the
Dubuque Police Department.
4
Mobile Computers in Park Ranger Trucks:
During the last year because of the upgraded Public Safety Software the computers in
the park ranger trucks were removed because they were outdated and would be
incapable of supporting the new software. At that time Steve Fehsal and Mark Dalsing
discussed because of the changed duties (as outlined above) if access to computers
was necessary. Mark consulted with members of his command staff as well. The
consensus was at that time that computers in Park ranger vehicles would not be needed
based on the new duties and because the primary purpose of the computers was for
mobile reporting. Separate licenses would also need to be purchased to support the use
of the new software, even though only a fraction of the software would be usable by the
park rangers.
The computers also potentially gave non-law enforcement personnel (seasonal park
rangers) access to much more information than what was needed for them to complete
their job. We operated without these computers the majority of last season and there
were no issues.
A request was made and approved to use some of the funds that had been budgeted
for the replacement patrol computers that were not purchased to purchase the two body
cameras and associated storage for the electronic files. They are in use now. If new
updated computers would need to be installed in the vehicles, additional funding will
need to be found.
Two Jobs in One Job Description:
The job description and job is very unique in that seven months of the year the full time
individuals are park rangers and the other five months they are maintenance workers in
the Park Division. This means that one day they are getting the parks ready for the
season and the next day they are law enforcement officers without using those skills the
last five months. Even with refresher training they are not as ready as police officers
whom work enforcement twelve months of the year. Both jobs require some similar
maintenance skills as defined above but also very different skills from the ranger's
portion of the job. Being a law enforcement officer means keeping your skills honed.
This is anything from use of a firearm to use of force if necessary in a situation to filing
reports, being familiar with police recordkeeping and filing systems and more. In the
timeframe of five months even the best ranger would be rusty at specific aspects of the
job.
Currently there is a great focus in our country on law enforcement practices. It is
worrisome that a person whom is performing their job one day as a maintenance worker
and the next day when they move back into law enforcement as a certified officer that
they could be called upon to make that split second decision that could change their life
and the life of another person or family.
5
Liability Concerns:
A concern was shared by a Council member at the last meeting wondering if the City
would be have greater liability exposure for a park ranger that still has law enforcement
certification but no longer carried a weapon.
I consulted with Assistant City Attorney Crenna Brumwell who reviewed the state code
and associated case law. She shared the provision below which exempts cities from
liability under what is called discretionary function immunity.
Iowa Code, Chapter 670: Tort Liability of Governmental Subdivisions
670.4 Claims exempted.
1 . The liability imposed by section 670.2 shall have no application to any claim
enumerated in this section. As to any such claim, a municipality shall be liable only to
the extent liability may be imposed by the express statute dealing with such claims and,
in the absence of such express statute, the municipality shall be immune from liability.
c. Any claim based upon an act or omission of an officer or employee of the
municipality, exercising due care, in the execution of a statute, ordinance, or
regulation whether the statute, ordinance or regulation is valid, or based upon the
exercise or performance or the failure to exercise or perform a discretionary
function or duty on the part of the municipality or an officer or employee of the
municipality, whether or not the discretion is abused.
If a claim or lawsuit were filed against the City the discretionary function immunity
provision could be used as a defense against liability. Case law further explains
discretionary function immunity and how the courts determine when it is applicable.
Case Law
In Keegan v. City of Blue Grass, 796 N.W. 2d 458 (Iowa App. 2004), the court outlined
the test for whether discretionary function immunity was applicable:
To determine whether a governmental function is immune from liability, we consider
whether there was an element of judgment or discretion involved in the City's decision,
and if so, whether the City's judgment was of the type the discretionary function
immunity was designed to shield from liability. Madden v. City of Eldridge, 661 N.W.2d
134, 138 (Iowa 2003) (citing Berkowitz v. United States, 486 U.S. 531 , 536-37, 108
S.Ct. 1954, 1958-58, (1988)). If the City did not have discretion in its action, section
670.4(3) does not apply. See Messerschmidt v. City of Sioux City, 654 N.W.2d 879,
881 (Iowa 2002).
Additionally, this question has been presented to our insurance contacts and I hope to
have a response by the time of the City Council meeting on June 15, 2015.

Park Ranger Title
The title of Park Ranger was retained when the job description changed. The title of
Park Ranger is used much more in counties, state, federal parks and conservation
areas. Some are law enforcement trained and some are not. For an example, the
National Park Service has Park Rangers working in their many assets. They are
seasonal as well as full time. For another example, Dubuque County Conservation also
has Park Rangers. Their rangers carry guns but not at all times they are on duty. They
perform maintenance work similar to what our Rangers do. County Conservation
rangers switch from Ranger to maintenance duties throughout their work day and week.
The title is used in the jurisdiction and they determine the level of training and duties of
the Park Ranger position. A title change could be researched if that is desired.
Current Ordinance History:
Research found the ordinance that authorized Park Rangers as law enforcement
officers was adopted by City Council on January 16th, 1984.
Past Park Ranger Staff:
From what we could gather there were three full time park rangers that became police
officers and four that became park maintenance workers. Additionally, one retired in
service as a park ranger, one was a park ranger that became Park Division Manager
and one left for a position with the IDNR. In the early 80's their certification came
through the Sheriff's Department.
Other Communities:
Police Chief Mark Dalsing corresponded with the Police Chiefs of the cities with a
population greater than 50,000 (11 counting Dubuque) and has heard back from seven
(7). None have sworn park patrol/rangers and never have. They are Ames, Cedar
Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des Moines, Iowa City, and Ankeny. In reaching out
to Iowa city parks departments another example of sworn park patrol/rangers could not
be found.
