Staff Present: Mike Moran, Chad Dyson, Zac Hall
Others Present: Angela Pitkin, DogPAC
CALL TO ORDER
Chairman Claussen called the meeting to order at 5 p.m.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: (to become effective only after separate Council
action):
None
OTHER FORMAL ACTION:
Moved by Bourgeois, seconded by Jones to approve the April 9, 2014 minutes as written.
Motion passed 9-0.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
None
FRIENDS OF HICKORY HILL PARK REPORT:
Moran reminded commission members of the Hickory Hill Park plant sale to be held at the
South Hickory Hill shelter the weekend following this meeting.
Moran reported that the prairie burn that was done last fall at the park was proven successful in
promoting new growth which is evident this season.
DogPAC REPORT:
Angela Pitkin, Vice President of the DogPAC board was present. She announced that DogPAC
is very pleased to donate $5000 towards the new animal shelter and $1000 towards new water
fountains at Rita's Ranch.
Pitkin said that the group is very interested in working with Parks and Recreation in the possible
development of a 10-acre dog park in the future Riverfront Crossings area.

Pitkin announced that the board welcomes new member, Pat Peterson who is from a Chicago
suburb. She will be researching the possibility of having a summertime dog festival in 2015 for
the purposes of fundraising. The desire is to make this a large event and hold it in or near
Downtown Iowa City. One activity they are hoping to include, which tends to draw large crowds
is called "Dock Dogs." Dock Dogs is a dock jumping and diving sport for dogs. It is a very
popular sport in the U.S. and has been featured on ESPN. Moran suggested that they speak
with the summer of the Arts coordinators to discuss getting on their calendar, or perhaps trying it
at Thornberry Off -Leash Dog Park. Some of the other ideas include "Meet the Police Dog," and
possible vendor booths. DogPAC believes this would be a very popular event with the high
population of dogs in the area. They will keep the commission informed of any plans as they
progress.
Brown asked if there is information available somewhere for people that are interested in joining
DogPAC. Bourgeois noted that this information is available on their website at
www.icdoqpac.org.
Claussen noted that dog parks are of great interest to many who are thinking of moving to the
area.
Laurian stated that she has some issue with dedicating 10 of the 35 acres of land planned for
Riverfront Crossings for a dog park. Bentler noted that urban dog parks are generally smaller,
Elliott asked who would approve such a request. Moran noted it would be up to City Council.
There would likely be a lot of neighborhood involvement as well.
NEIGHBORHOOD OPEN SPACE REVIEW
First and Rochester. Part One: This is for a development of an 11-unit building that offers no
land for park use. It consists of steep slopes and the sidewalks don't meet trail needs and
Ryerson's Woods is nearby.
Moved by Elliott seconded by Bourgeois to accept fees in lieu of land for the First and
Rochester Part One Development. Motion passed 9-0.
Walden Hills/Rohret Road Preliminary Sensitive Areas Site Development Plan: This is a
proposal for a 14-unit apartment complex which is bordered by trees. Staff does not want to
remove trees to provide green space for a park as they serve as a sound barrier from Highway
218.
Moved by Elliott seconded by Younker, to accept fees in lieu of land for the Walden
Hills/Rohret Road Sensitive Areas Site Development Plan. Motion passed 9-0.
Prairie Hill: This includes the land swap proposal by the City to the Iowa City Cohousing LLC.
The City proposes to swap 3 acres to the south of the park for some wooded land to the west of
the park for use by the cohousing group for access to Benton Street. The idea is to provide a
more open space to the community within the park. The Prairie Hill Development offers an open
space that doesn't have much for trees so could provide space for a playground or splash pad.

Staff does have some questions about this property yet concerning storm water drainage,
having no alley -way etc., which will be discussed at the May 20, 2014 Joint Staff Meeting.
Moran feels that the property swap is a good idea if issues can be worked out. This is an
informational item only, no vote by commission necessary at this time.
RECREATION DIVISION REPORT:
Napoleon Softball Lighting: Dyson reported that he was contacted when the lights went off too
early at Napoleon recently. He explained that in 2008 Musco Lighting put in an automatically
controlled lighting system at five of the fields at Napoleon as well as Mercer Park fields. This
allows Musco to monitor the efficiency of the system, to check for issues, to change lamps when
they go out which then provides the City with an extended warranty on the system. On the
second night that this new system was in place, there was a scheduling error at Napoleon and
the lights went off prematurely. That has been resolved and there have had no issues since.
Dyson further noted that he has received a quote to add this type of lighting to the City Park
tennis courts as well. As far as the City Park ball diamonds are concerned, the existing lighting
cannot be retrofitted for this automated system.
City Park Pool Project: Dyson announced that due to weather related delays, the City Park Pool
will now open on June 7 rather than the expected May 24 date. He noted that the project is
looking great and that there will be a substantial increase in the amount of deck and green
space provided. This delay may impact some of the regular lap swimmers who prefer City Park
Pool, however, should not impact the community as much as it could with the delay in the
school year ending.
Blue Zones: Dyson is once again serving on the leadership board for Blue Zones and will keep
Commission informed of upcoming events.
Affiliate Groups: Dyson reported that staff will likely be discussing fees for use of the city
facilities with affiliate groups. Some of the affiliate groups are reporting that their numbers are
down this year. For example, Kickers reports being down 200 registrants, boys baseball is
down three to four teams and girls softball numbers are declining as well. Some thoughts for
this decline include lack of transportation and the growing popularity of U-trip teams. Dyson
noted that as stated in the memorandum of understanding that the department has with affiliate
groups, that they be invited to attend a commission meeting once per year. He would like to
begin this process. He would likely schedule sports groups separate from those who rent rooms
etc. Bourgeois suggested that the Iowa City EELS Swim Club be met with separately. Dyson
agreed based on their unique relationship with the department, that they be met with separately
as well. Dyson suggested beginning these meetings as the groups are wrapping up their
seasons. Moran suggested that perhaps they all be brought in as one group to announce that
we are reviewing fees etc., and then schedule them in smaller groups at a later time to discuss
on an individual level.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
May 14, 2014

Brown asked if there was any way to provide bus service to some of these areas where there
currently is none. Moran is going to speak with Chris O'Brien, Director of Transportation and
see if he can attend a future Commission meeting to discuss.
Dyson will bring to the Commission in June what we currently provide for these affiliate groups.
Moran noted that this action was attempted in the past, however, many of the groups came
back showing the money they had given to the City etc., and it was dropped. At that time there
was discussion of a sliding scale fee for these groups. Moran noted that while the City is
extremely grateful for their generosity in the past, the expenses to keep these facilities running
is increasing and the City has to recoup these expenses. Jones asked what other cities do to
recoup their costs. Moran explained that they are run by parent boards. Parents do the
chalking of fields, mowing etc. It eventually becomes difficult for them to find people to maintain
these venues.
PARKS DIVISION REPORT:
Hall and Moran will present a plan to council regarding Emerald Ash Borer. Hall noted that at
last count the city has about 1200 ash trees, and about 600 more in the parks. Staff did not
count Hickory Hill Park or Ryerson's due to the heavy forestation. Ash trees will not be removed
from these two parks. Hall will share a plan with Commission in a couple of months. There will
be a systematic plan for taking these trees down. They will not have to be burned as senate has
passed a bill so that they can be taken to the landfill but do have to be chipped to 1" x 1" size
prior to doing so. The University of Iowa uses chips for power so the department may look at
selling them to the University for fuel, or see if they would come and get them for no cost. Elliott
asked if the trees are taken down before being infested. Moran said that yes they are in an
attempt to be proactive rather than reactive. Hall noted that the lifecycle of the ash bore is one
year and they will decimate a tree within that time frame. Moran further stated that the plan will
include replacing the trees that are removed with another. Bentler asked if replacement of trees
will promote diversity of species. Hall said yes. Moran noted that in the past the department has
given landowners options of five or six types of trees to choose from. Jones asked if any of the
options would include edible trees. Moran said no as this usually invites more birds which will
make more of a mess around the tree. Jones suggested that even so, since the landowner
would get to choose, perhaps they should have an option of an edible tree
DIRECTORS REPORT:
Ashton House: Moran noted that most of the parking lot has been backfilled. Staff is still waiting
on a permanent ramp and hope to have that in by the end of the month. Project GREEN will
begin working on the gardens over the Memorial Day weekend.
TTRA: The Lodge is very busy with reservations. The park has become very popular for many
walks as it provides a perfect 5K route (from the park to Napoleon and back). Moran noted that
some of the trees that were planted last year did not survive the winter. They will be replaced.
He also noted that a Herky statue has been placed at the park. This particular statue is named
"Wood Grain Herky" and sets in front of the lodge.

Social Services Agency Transportation: At the previous commission meeting it was suggested
that some social services agencies be invited to a future meeting to discuss some of the
challenges they are seeing when it comes to getting kids involved in recreational activities.
Moran asked for a better definition of what the Commission would like to see done. He does not
want to invite them, offer ideas and then find out that the City cannot provide the services
suggested. Brown said that unfortunately those that he has spoken with do not really have any
concrete ideas to offer. Moran said that he will contact Chris O'Brien, the City's Director of
Transportation for input. Younker suggested that O'Brien be invited to a future meeting to get a
sense of what the options are. Bentler suggested that someone also might want to speak with
the affiliate groups to get their input. Perhaps parents and coaches could put together a carpool
system. Hamann suggested that perhaps staff involve the Off Road Riders Program involved.
This group does an annual fundraiser. Last year they were able to provide six to seven bicycles
to kids and this year as many as 30 were distributed. The fundraiser this spring rose over
$10,000. Brown asked what happens to bikes that the police pick up. Moran noted that they are
auctioned off to bigger cities. He said that there may be some regulations in place that would
not allow them to distribute through the City, but he will look into this.
After more discussion Claussen asked members to send any ideas for other resources etc. to
Brown. Moran and other staff can work with Brown to identify people/groups to meet with.
Moran again stated that he believes step one is to have the Director of Transportation speak at
a future commission meeting.
Park Tour: Moran reminded members that last month there was some discussion about holding
the annual park tour earlier in the year. These are generally scheduled for September or
October. Bourgeois suggested that perhaps one be done in the spring and one in the fall.
Willow Creek/Kiwanis Park: Moran handed out a proposed concept plan for the Willow Creek
stream channel. The stream corridors and water quality need to be addressed in Willow Creek.
The creek is eroding as well as the trails. He noted that the first step will be to hold public
meetings. He will likely schedule a neighborhood meeting sometime in June. The estimated
cost for construction at Willow Creek and Kiwanis Park is about $320,000.
Ryerson's Wood Park: This park has been designated as a state forest preserve. The Governor
will come to the park and make an announcement in mid to late June. The State Forest
Preserve naming will protect the parkland from the cutting down of trees, plants, or anything
else done around the area. Also, this will help when applying for future grants or funding for the
park.
City Park Parking: The department has begun selling parking passes for constructions workers
that are working at Hancher and using the park to park their vehicles. They will pay $60/month
from May through November. Staff has designated two parking lots for them. The money for
these tags will go back into the City Park account.

CHAIRS REPORT:
Claussen asked Tammy Neumann to provide a report to the commission about the Farmers
Market. Neumann will report in June.
COMMISSION TIME/SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS:
saurian hopes to see efforts of the City to build better relationships with the schools in the
future. She does not feel that there is a good relationship that exists at this time.
Younker reported on the ad hoc Senior Services Committee. The first meeting was mostly for
organizational purposes. He stated it consists of a good diverse group. He will keep this
commission apprised of developments through this committee.
Hamann suggested that perhaps the Blue Zones committee be involved in some of the
transportation issues to be discussed.
ADJOURNMENT:
Moved by Bourgeois seconded by Bentler to adjourn the meeting at 6:45 p.m. Motion
passed 9-0.

SPORTS/WELLNESS
Summer softball registration concluded on May 2. There are 93 teams total (35 CoRec teams on Sundays, 21
Men's teams on Mondays, 10 CoRec teams on Tuesdays, 11 Men's teams on Wednesdays and 16 Men's teams
on Thursdays). The season was delayed until June I" due to a FEMA flood recovery project at the University's
Hawkeye Softball Complex. (Goal 42 — Track Performance Measures).
All the equipment in the new fitness room is in working order at the RAL Recreation Center. We are working
with an architect and the City Engineer to hopefully get a glass wall installed around the fitness room. (Goal 49
— Continue to Provide Equitable LOS in Existing Parks and Facilities).
Staff posted articles on the department's website and updated the website content regarding the summer
program registrations and the upcoming facilities schedules. (Goal #6 — Increase Awareness of Program
Offerings).
Staff posted upcoming program information on the three slide -show monitors in the RAL Recreation Center.
Slides about the department's participation in the World's Largest Swim Lesson, Parties in the Park, and
consignment theme park tickets are just a few of the new ones. (Goal # 6 — Increase Awareness of Program
Offerings).
8,420 people were recorded on the hourly attendance in the month of May at the RAL Recreation Center.
(April 2014- 7,698, May 2013- 9,057) (Goal #2 — Track Performance Measures).
SOCIAL/CULTURAL
No report. Will include with next month's report.
AQUATICS
Goal 42: Track Performance Measures
Establish service standards for all community services activities:
o Programs:
■ We currently track percentage of swim lesson capacity vs. utilized/ filled, and are
working on more effective ways to keep each offering at Rill capacity. We are
experimenting with varied times to see what is most effective. We are finding that earlier
time slots are preferable. We have begun offering a small 530pm private lesson session.
This was received well; however we must maintain a balance of lap swim time and lesson
times.
■ We have made a large push for increased communication between instructors and
parents. This seems to be working very well, establishing a relationship with our
participants allows for constant feedback at the most front line level. The evaluations
distributed at the end of each session were very positive this round.
o Facilities
We have assigned lifeguard staff to a set clean up time just before the start of evening
lessons. One of our largest complaints has been locker room/ shower room cleanliness.
This new assignment seems to be helping.

The City Park Pool Renovation project is nearly complete. At this point the new fence
line is complete, the new wading pool is complete and the new accessible picnic area is
90% complete. We are several weeks behind schedule due to a main waste line repair that
was needed. Sometime during the deck renovations the main waste line was damaged
making it impossible to fill the main pool. The repair is completed and we are now
filling. It is our hope to have the facility up and running by Saturday June 14`h.

2. BAS/FMCS (BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM/ENERGY MANAGEMENT CONTROL
SYSTEM)
These systems control facility HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) equipment
along with the associated mechanical and electrical components. In some facilities the BAS will
control lighting as well. This section contains a brief explanation of existing conditions and some
justification to bring the City of Iowa City BAS/FMCS systems up to modern standards.
Upgrading the BAS system would have a significant positive impact on energy consumption and
conservation as well as reduce unnecessary controls and equipment failures.. Many of our city
facilities are using newer BAS controls (2-10yrs) that may or may not require simple software
upgrades in order to maintain system compatibility with ITS servers. Energy rebates are also
available for many projects of this type.
Consideration should be taken to consolidate systems so that the city uses one manufacturer
for all BAS/FMCS systems city wide. This strategy would have the potential for significant
savings in many areas including software licensing, installation and maintenance costs as well
as discounted service calls and future upgrades.
2.1 BAS Operating Summary:
City Hall — There are 3 separate systems controlling this facility. A Trane Tracer system
installed around 1992 handles the North Court section of the building. There is a very old
pneumatic control system that is completely stand- alone and inefficient. Some of the
pneumatics have been converted to DDC via a Barber Coleman DMS system that has become
unreliable over the years. The conversion was never completed. Most of the issues with City
Hall BAS are in progress to be corrected with the project discussed in section 4.1 City Hall
HVAC Replacement Project and 4.2 Project to Upgrade Building Automation System
(BAS) to Connect Three Buildings. Some equipment will still remain under older controls and
will need to be addressed accordingly.
RALCRC - Old pneumatics are controlling approximately 50% of field devices such as valves
and dampers while the remaining half have been converted to DDC via a Barber Coleman DMS
system that has become unreliable over the years. This conversion was never completed. This
system is also not compatible with new computer software and cannot be accessed remotely.
Manual changes to valves and controllers must be made seasonally. The system is unreliable.
With the project discussed in section 4.2 Project to Upgrade Building Automation System
(BAS) to Connect Three Buildings, remote connectivity will be established making it possible
to access the system and troubleshoot on a somewhat limited basis until the existing controls
can be upgraded.
Mercer/Scanlon — This facility is currently using some of the oldest pneumatics controls in the
state. Serious consideration to upgrade the controls to this facility is urgently needed. As the
controls fail, upgrades will be required on an emergency basis. This makes repairs and
upgrades unnecessarily expensive. Field devices and controllers are obsolete and can't be
obtained. The same Barber Coleman DDC system as City Hall and RALCRC operates portions
June 6, 2014
Page 11
of the facility. There is also no remote connectivity. This is the 3`d building discussed in section
4.2 Project to Upgrade Building Automation System (BAS) to Connect Three Buildings.
TTRA — A new facility with what is basically considered residential HVAC equipment still under
warranty. There is a DDC system by Andover Controls "Continuum" that controls 1 ERU
(Energy Recovery Unit). Continuum is connected via the city network and is controlled from the
Facilities office.
Fire Stations — Station 2 has a fairly new DDC "Metasys" by Johnson Controls. Installed in
2009, it needs to have a simple "maintenance" update in order to allow system connectivity to
the city server upgrades.
Station 4 has a newer DDC "Metasys" by Johnson Controls. The BAS has connectivity and is
operating as designed.
The Center — has a fairly new DDC "Niagara" system by Schneider Electric. Installed in 2009, it
needs to have a simple "maintenance" update in order to allow system connectivity to the city
server upgrades.
Other City Facilities — there are several facilities throughout the city with HVAC equipment
operating via a BAS system that has not yet been viewed by the Facilities Manager. As the
departments/divisions and building operators become acquainted with the position of Facilities
Manager and the role it involves, and opportunity presents itself to review the system controls,
system summaries and status reports will be incorporated into the monthly report.
2.2 BAS controlled Equipment Operating in a Manual, Operator, or Failure Mode:
City Hall, RALRC and Mercer/Scanlon have several devices, valves and other equipment
components operating manually. This is mainly due to equipment age and system capability.
2.3 Overrides to Sequences of Operations in Effect:
Several pumps and fans are overridden "on" or "off' under various circumstances. In some
cases, this has become the norm. This is primarily due to lack of functionality and age of BAS
systems. It also causes energy waste.
3 ADDITIONAL SERVICES WORK
3.1 Contractor Service Calls:
Prime Mechanical was called to various sites for several issues. One of which was to make an
emergency repair to the City Park Pool main drain. A 10" cast iron pipe incurred some damage
and the pool could not be filled until the leak was repaired. It is unclear at this time how the pipe
was damaged. There has been construction in the immediate area with the new wading pool
being installed.
Valu-con was contracted to repair steps and make a partial sidewalk repair on the east side of
City Hall.
June 6, 2014
Page 12
3.2 Contractor Service Contract Work:
We are currently working with the Purchasing Department to develop an RFP for a new HVAC
Preventive Maintenance contract. HVAC equipment lists are completed for the entire city and
the process continues to move forward.
3.3 Work Status and Projected Completion:
We are currently developing schedules and assignments for maintenance and custodial staff in
an effort to reach higher standards of facilities appearance and public perception. MW staff has
been given the opportunity to participate in a voluntary mechanical aptitude test with 4 staff
members responding. The test will be taken next month. The results are expected to aid in
forming staff training and development goals.
3.4 Project Requests:
3.4a
Pool temperature control/automation — a new heat exchanger has been ordered and will be
scheduled for installation during the next pool shutdown period.
A proposal for the automation portion came in at $11,391. We are looking at other options to
reduce the cost. Automating the pool control will have a significant energy saving impact and
reduce operating costs long term.
3.4b
Technology Plan — We are working with contractors and technicians in developing a
Technology Plan that will outline a long term course of action to upgrade and retrofit BAS/EMCS
systems city-wide. The 5year plan is intended to aide in requesting capital for CIP funding to
bring the City of Iowa City energy management, building HVAC, lighting and other equipment to
modern standards. The 151 phase of the plan has started with the projects outlined in section 4
of this report.
4. PROJECT STATUS REPORTS
4.1 City Hall HVAC Replacement Project:
PHI PD/FD RTU replacement —Substantial completion was 2 days late due to unforeseen
circumstances. No liquidated damages were incurred since the weather was cool enough not to
require cooling in the spaces concerned. A punch list was submitted to Day Mechanical to be
addressed before they're pay app is approved.
PH2 North Court RTU replacement — A 95% DID meeting was held. It is anticipated to set a
public hearing and go before council in June.
4.2 Project to Upgrade Building Automation System (BAS) to Connect Three Buildings.
This project is underway. The software is installed and Baker Group is building graphics.
Scheduled completion is he week of June 9. We may also be extending this project to include
connectivity to Fire Stations 2 and 4 along with the Senior Center as mentioned in section 2.1
BAS Operating Summary. Costs should be minimal with details to follow.

5. WORK FLOW
5.1 CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management Software)
This software maintains a database of information for maintenance operations. This information
is designed to enhance the productivity of maintenance workers. It also helps the management
team make informed decisions, such as calculating the cost of machine breakdown repair
versus preventive maintenance or outright replacement, which leads to better allocation of
resources. Any asset, be it equipment or personnel performance can easily be tracked and
adjusted accordingly.
5.2 Antero — the CMMS database
We have spent several months gathering equipment lists and other pertinent data to enter into
the system. A maintenance staff member is being trained on the system and assists with some
data entry duties to help expedite the process moving forward. We are nearly ready to run a test
batch of recurring work orders for auto generation. We are excited to be having this software
very close to implementation.
5.3 Completed Work Order Summary:
Work orders are being completed using a temporary format which will be in place until staff is
trained on Antero is functional enough to enter work orders manually. Work orders are kept on
file.

R1 : Athletic Facilities May Report
Events for May 2014 are at 1,015 compared to 1,081 for May 2013 and 1,045 for
May 2012. These numbers seem to be an average for the Month of May over the
past few years. We did have 3.4 rain clays in May 2014 which can result in 25
less events per day.
2. Labor hours for May 2014 are at 2,569 compared to 2,311 for May 2013 and
1,974 for May 2012. Total labor hours are up for May 2014 compared to
previous years but we have staff doing projects in facilities and on rainy days we
have staff still working oil projects, In previous years we have sent staff home
during rain events or have had them come in late.
3. Soccer events for May 2014 are at 378 compared to 518 for May 2013 and 284
for May 2012.Youth soccer ended May 181" this ,year and this is why soccer is
down this May but was up in April 2014. Baseball events for May 2014 are at
343 compared to 240 in May 2013 and 397 for May 2012. Rain dates again have
this number down compared to previous years, Softball events for May 2014 are
at 239 compared to 258 for May 2013 and 284 for May 2012. The Iowa city Girls
Softball league does not have as many teams/players as previous years and this is
part of the reason the numbers are lower. The Co-ed Ree league oil Sunday
evenings did not start ill May due to construction at the University of Iowa
Softball Complex so that delayed the start of this program on Sundays evenings
at Mercer. Pat,]( and this has dropped softball events as well.
4. Mowing inours are up 1'0, May 2014 at 350 hours compared to 186.5 fo, May
2013 and 237.5 for May 2012, Staff is now trinnning at Cite facilities as to park
staff doing this in the past years. We are hying to free up pork staff for projects
as well.
5. Irrigation hour are dorm in May 2014 at 55 compared to 117 in May 2013 and
190 in May 2012. Timely rains in may has caused its to not use it as much o
repair it as much this past year.
G. Seeding hours are at 74 for May of 2014 compared to 10 in May 2013 and 17.5 in
May 2012. We had lost a lot of turf over the winter due to the subzero temps and
have been working bard to repair and regrow the Turf on the fields and this is
why this number is up.
