OTHER FORMAL ACTION:
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
Temple Hiatt passed out a Memorandum of Understanding between Iowa City Girls Softball and

CITY PARK ROAD NAMING REQUEST
Rick I lanna was asked to represent a group within the conununity who is proposing that the rode
in upper City Park be named Hughes Memorial Drive. This request is in honor of the late Patrick
I lughes who recently passed away from melanoma. He was a dedicated community leader and
very involved in many volunteer programs in the community. He served as the Iowa City
Federation of Labor President for 20 years. He was also involved in the start-up of the .Johnson
County Accessibility Program who builds handicap ramps for those not financially able. He was
instrumental in starting the Iowa City Federation of Labor license plate recycling program. This
program has allowed for over $20,000 donated to over 50 area charities over the last 10 years.
Ile served on the Pioneer Coop Board and was co-founder of the Iowa Artisans Gallery. Hughes
was recently inducted into the ,lohnson County Democrat I fall of Fame. Hanna stated that
honoring Pat in this way would be an opportunity to remind people ofthe importance of
volunteerism in their community. I to forther noted that while often times things like this are
named after the rich and famous, Hughes was neither but in I lanna's mind, as well as many
others, Hughes deserves this recognition. I canna thanked the Commission for letting him speak

and for considering this proposal. Moran noted that the Commission can make a
recommendation to Council who will have to give final approval. Moran will review the City
Naming Policy to make sure this request falls within its guidelines. Commission agreed it would
be best to check this policy before voting on this proposal. Moran will report back to commission
via their Friday Update,
RIVERSIDE FESTIVAL STAGE DISCUSSION:
Ron Clark from Riverside Theatre was present to discuss the future plans for Riverside's use of
the Shakespeare Festival Stage at City Park. Clark started by commending Zac Hall, the
departments new Superintendent of Parks. Clark and Hall started discussions in May about some
updates that were needed to the stage. A number of improvements were done in a quick fashion.
Likewise, when he was informed that the group would have to vacate within a day or two, Moran
sent staff down to help them move out of the park. Clark noted that it is time to accept that this
type of weather is the new norm for this area and for them that is a problem. Between 2008 and
2014 they have been pushed out of the stage three times. They have had a lot of discussions with
staff and their board of directors and they have come to the conclusion that the theatre cannot
risk this happening again next year so will not use the stage for their 2015 Festival. Clark noted
that he can't predict beyond next year as he and Jodi will be retiring. While they love the stage
and its location, it is no longer a viable option for them. The amount of money lost is too
detrimental to the success of the theatre. Clark stated that he would like to work with the City if
interested in looking at reestablishing the stage in a different location. Elliott asked what the role
of the Commission is in this situation. Moran noted that there will need to be a lot of discussion
about this when looking at the budget in the near future. Claussen noted that Clark has the
Commission's support and they will also be working towards a solution. Elliott asked if there
will be recommendations specific to the stage or the park as a whole. Moran noted it would
likely be for the park as a whole. He would like to sit down with Riverside Theatre staff and
board in September or October to discuss forther. Moran noted that there will also have to be
some discussion with Boys Baseball and about the City Park Rides.
FRIENDS OF HICKORY HILL PARK:
Friends of Hickory Hill would like to see more effort in getting some repairs etc. done at the
park. Therefore, they will be asking the City Council to approve funding for these repairs
prior than the originally planned schedule of FY16. There have been some recent bridge
repairs done. Moran and Hall have walked through the park and noted some areas of
necessary repairs but nothing drastic. Hall noted a couple of areas that show a little more
erosion than when he toured the park earlier this spring. Brown noted that he feels a
somewhat rough terrain is what is expected at Hickory Hill Park. Jones reiterated that
statement.
NEIGHBORHOOD OPEN SPACE REVIEW
None.

regarding this policy. Dyson is working on a further breakdown of Napoleon costs as per Hiatt's
request. Claussen suggested that if it is a sizeable amount of money being asked of the groups
that they may want to look into assistance with fundraising through an outside source. Brown
expressed his frustration with so many kids not being able to participate in programs because
they don't have transportation or the funds to participate. Dyson said that staffwants to find a
way to meet budgetary goals by working with the groups.

PARKS DIVISION REPORT:
Flood Recovery: Hall reported that City Park re -opened on August 1, however, there were a
number of people using it while it was closed which made progress somewhat difficult. Staff has

and continued use of the bodge.
Brown noted that there are some mulberry trees around 'ferry Trueblood Recreation Area and he
sees people picking them and eating them. He suggested that staff consider planting some
blackberries in the grassy areas stating that they are good for the wildlife, the neighborhoods and
are not labor intensive. Moran noted that at this time they are developing prairie grass in this area
and not sure if they would be compatible but will consider it. le will communicate this with the
landscape architects.

Registration opened on the 27i1'. Currently, the numbers enrolled are quite good for this early.
AQUATICS
fhe Robert A. Lee Recreation Center pool was closed for the entire month of August for
scheduled/ preventative maintenance. Both indoor pools are scheduled to shut down every other
year for at least 30 days. The largest portion of this year's shutdown was painting the pool shell
and installation of a new heat exchange valve. The painting process went well and the cost was
minimal as we did the work in-house. The heat exchange valve was long overdue for
replacement and so far the results are positive. The finished product is aesthetically pleasing and
cleans up the pool's appearance nicely.
Below are City Park Pool's 2014 season totals. We have extended our September hours so those
numbers are not yet available. We had a down year overall due to the cool weather in June and
July. However we did manage to bounce back in August and we expect the overall numbers to be
higher for September. We managed to keep the doors open while other area pools were closed
during a late season heat wave. This should help bolster the bottom line.

In reviewing other water meter readings, it shows the City Park Ball Park indicates severe
excessive consumption. The 2 July 2014 reading shows 38,300 gallons used. The 3 July 2013
reading indicates 2,000 gallons used. This will be investigated to determine if there is an issue
and what steps we will take to address.
2. BAS/EMCS (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/EMCS 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
September 4, 2014
Page 12
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/EMCS 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/EMCS Technology Plan/ Energy Strategy Master Plan:
We have developed a BAS/EMCS Technology Plan/ Energy Strategy Master Plan. The plan
along with a memorandum of introduction is located on the T drive. T:\REC\Facilities Manager.
2.2 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
of the facility. There is also no remote connectivity. This is the Td 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.
September 4, 2014
Page 13
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.
2.3 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.
2.4 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.
3.1 Contractor Service Calls:
Prime Mechanical was called to various sites for plumbing service issues.
3.2 Contractor Service Contract Work:
We are currently working on a new HVAC Preventive Maintenance contract. Bids were
submitted to the city and a contract will be awarded to AAA Mechanical of Iowa City.
3.3 Work Status and Projected Completion
3.4 Project Requests:
3.4a
Pool temperature control/automation —
Due to other projects we have placed this project on hold.

4.1 City Hall HVAC Replacement Project:
PHI PD/FD RTU replacement has been completed. It was discovered during this project that
when Day Mechanical Services moved the placement of the new unit north; Kumi Morris in
engineering was concerned and asked Design Engineer's Tim Lentz to ensure that the bay roof
was still structurally sound; Design Engineer's had M2B perform a structural review. The
structural engineers determined that the roof structure would be overloaded with any additional
live load. For example with snow conditions the structural situation of that bay roof may become
problematic. In M213's opinion and review determined that even before this project -with the
weight of the former units- the structural roof system was under -designed. Now with the larger
load of the new unit and the change in placement there are compounded load issues. The
contractor was asked to investigate pricing for additional structural bracing (designed by M2B).
A fair agreement was reached between the 3 parties to share in the cost of repairs. McComas —
Lacina will perform the work in September.
PH2 North Court RTU replacement — Council approved June 17. The contract has been
awarded to Modern Sheet Metal, Inc., Cedar Rapids. Preconstruction meeting was held the
week of August 4tn
4.2 Project to Upgrade Building Automation System (BAS) to Connect Three Buildings.
Completed.
4.3 Animal Shelter — Construction is to begin in fall. We will need to watch controls contractors
to insure they comply with the standards set in the BAS/EMCS Technology Plan/ Energy
Strategy Master Plan.
4.4 Robert A Lee Recreation Center Fitness Room Enclosure — Pre -bid meeting set for
August 12. 1 contractor attended. The meeting was not mandatory.
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.
September 4, 2014
Page 15
Update: The assigned staff member has resigned his position with the city. This will delay
implementation of Antero until an acceptable replacement is found.
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
