visiting from Auckland, New Zealand. Commission welcomed her.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: (to become effective only after separate Council
action):
None
OTHER FORMAL ACTION:
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
None.
FRIENDS OF HICKORY HILL PARK
Moran is working to find a point of contact for the Friends of Hickory Hill to report to the
Commission. He noted that they have made their request to the City Council to move up
their funding for improvements to the park.
DogPAC:
Connie Peterson reported that DogPAC signs for the dog parks and been approved and
complete and are currently in production. These signs will allow for the removal of some
redundant signs throughout the parks. She also announced that DogPAC has passed two
resolutions over the past month. One resolution is a request to include a dog park in the
River Front Crossings Plan and the other is a request to allow 10 acres of the park land be

dedicated as a dog park. Peterson asked Commission where they are in terms of
conversations about the Riverfront Crossings plan. Moran stated that there has been very
little discussion to date but expects there to be a concept plan available for Commission
review in October. A public meeting will be scheduled in either late October or early
November. He further noted that the consultant has created two design plans, one of which
is a more passive park and the other includes a 19-acre water park. Moran did state that he
does not believe that a 10-acre dog park would be approved as this would incorporate over
half of the planned park space.
AFFILIATE GROUP DISCUSSION:
Claussen noted that the department and commission are working on a directive from the
City to get more funding from our affiliate groups while creating something that works for
both the department and the affiliate groups. Dyson said that as the department heads into
the budget planning process, they will revisit ways to maintain the 50% cost recovery goal
while keeping sustainable service. He met with the Iowa City Kickers Board as well as Iowa
City Girls Softball who will attend the November Commission meeting. Tonight Luke
Villhauer and Rob Rindels were present representing Iowa City Boys Baseball. Villhauer
noted that their biggest concern is that they price themselves out of the boundaries for
some families and may start to lose some participants. He stated that numbers have been
declining over the last few years noting many outside factors such as video games and
cable TV and many kids no longer grow up with baseball as an only option anymore. He
said there were fewer than 300 enrolled in the spring and has 185 for the fall. Fees are
currently $85 per participant per season. Claussen asked if Boy's Baseball offers a
scholarship program. Villhauer said that they do and that there are a few that take
advantage of that. He said that they are reliant on word of mouth, returning participants and
communication through the Virtual Backpack (online newsletter put out by the school
district). Many of the schools will not let them post flyers. There seems to be no one great
way to get information out there anymore. Getting in front of the parents is tough. Brown
asked what the rationale is of the school district for no allowing flyers etc. Dyson said that
he and Temple Hiatt met with Dr. Murley, Superintendent of Schools, a couple of years ago.
He said that it had become too much work for the schools to sort flyers and that they were
beginning the process of going paperless. Information is allowed to be in the Virtual
Backpack for one month only. Brown expressed his concern for those families who don't
have access to computers at home and said that as a community there needs to be a better
way to get the word out there. Younker suggested that it is not the Commission's place to
get involved in school policy but would be good to see the policy. Dyson noted that the
district does still allow for the Recreation Center to send out hard copies of the program
guide through the schools. The general contact information for the affiliate groups is
included within the guide. Moran noted that there have been discussions about making this
publication available online only as well. Laurian asked if more information regarding these
affiliate programs could be included in the guide. Dyson agreed that if dates and times are
available they could look at this as a possibility. Jones agreed that since these books go out
in hard copy that perhaps this idea would be the best way to get the information out.
Temple noted that timing is critical and that since these books go out three times a year,
one of those times being December, and with registration not starting until February for
baseball/softball, many forget about it. Brown stated that he would further investigate the
rationale of the School District when it comes to distributing information to families.

Moran asked Villhauer how Boys Baseball is doing financially. He stated that it is financially
sound but would like to see more participation. The more we can keep the costs reasonable
for them the better. Claussen reiterated that the City has been told that they are going to
have less contribution towards programs so have to find a way to increase revenue or
decrease expenses. Claussen suggested that perhaps these groups look at hiring a
professional fundraiser, noting that of course this would be an additional cost for them but
may be a worthwhile potential. Claussen, on behalf of the commission and staff, expressed
his gratitude for all that these affiliate groups do for the community. Villhauer said that he
would provide the department with a financial report and Dyson can share this with the
Commission at the October meeting.
Dyson noted that after the November Commission Meeting, he will put together a
recommendation for the Commission to review.
NEIGHBORHOOD OPEN SPACE REVIEW:
Prairie Hill: As per the Staff Report prepared by Bob Miklo, this is a proposal to develop a
co -housing community. This property is adjacent to Benton Hill Park. City will transfer 1.97
acres of the 7.8 acre site along Miller Avenue to the City of Iowa City in exchange for 1.85
acres of the western part of Benton Hill Park for an access road to Benton Street. Of that,
1.12 acres to the west of the access road will be protected by a conservation easement and
continue to provide public access, but will be owned and maintained by the Iowa City
Cohousing community. The neighborhood open space requirements were satisfied with the
approval of Ruppert Hills final plat in 2003. That plat included the dedication of Outlot A
Ruppert Hills, which later became the eastern part of Benton Hill Park. Commission
reviewed and approved the proposed trade of land of the western portion of Benton Hill
Park for Outlot A. Staff has determined that Outlot A is more conducive to use as a
neighborhood park and supports the trade. This will go to Planning and Zoning
Commission on 9/18 and then to Council.
RECREATION DIVISION REPORT:
Dyson noted that staff is continuing plans for the Robert A. Lee Community Recreation
Centers 501i anniversary celebration scheduled for Saturday, October 4. He encouraged all
to attend.
PARKS DIVISION REPORT:
Hall reported that staff is wrapping up the rest of the flood work and met with FEMA today.
They are starting the process of project worksheets and passing those on to FEMA.
Hall continues to work with many volunteer organizations. The University of Iowa Law
School had 50 students who came out and assisted with the repurposing of 30 dump truck
loads of sand that was removed from City Park and used at the Terry Trueblood Recreation
Area (TTRA) to shore up the south boat launch. Hall reported a total of 400 volunteer
hours. At FEMA's rate of $17.55/hr. that totals approximately $7000 in work last month.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION

Hall reported that the benches are in place at the dog parks. These benches are of a new
style and made of composite material. Six new benches and six new trash receptacles
were placed at the dog parks. Parks staff will be installing a dog statue at one of the parks
that was purchased years ago by Terry Trueblood.
Hall said that staff has placed Prairie in Progress signs at TTRA due to a number or calls
that have been coming in.
Hall said that they have a shelter in storage that was purchased a number of years ago.
They are in the process of installing this at Pheasant Hill. He said this shelter will tie in very
well with this park and its other unique features.
Hall stated that there have been no more Emerald Ash Borer reports of late. He had
received two reports after the first positively identified bug. However, these two reports
proved not to be Emerald Ash Borer. Moran and Hall will go to Council on October 7 to give
a preliminary assessment and plan.
Jones noted that she was happy to see the Prairie in Progress signs placed at TTRA. She
suggested that perhaps there be signs put in at Wetherby Park noting the edible forest.
DIRECTORS REPORT:
Ashton House: Moran stated that the handicap ramp is in. There is a temporary railing in
place at this time to be replaced with permanent railing soon. Project GREEN is continuing
their work on landscaping.
Tower Court: Moran met with the Tower Court Neighborhood. There is $72,000 in
Neighborhood Open Space funds available to enhance this park.
Willow Creek Neighborhood Meeting: Moran will be meeting with the Willow Creek
Neighborhood on September 18. The firm that was hired to redesign the park will be in
attendance. They will then come back to staff with a concept plan. This project will go to bid
this winter with construction beginning in the spring.
Parks Tour: Moran reminded Commission that they will go on their annual parks tour in
October. This meeting will start at 4 p.m. (rather than the usual 5 p.m. start time). The
Commission will have a short meeting and will then board the bus for the tour at 4:30 p.m.
Some of the sites on the list to visit include City Park Pool, Sand Prairie Park, South Hickory
Hill Park Bridge, Ashton House, Benton Hill and Wetherby parks and the Chadek Property.
A meal will be provided.
Snow Routes: With the ongoing budget cutbacks, staff will be reviewing their current snow
routes. One possibility is the decision to not do any snow removal on weekends unless it is
a very serious snow event. The department spends a lot of money in overtime wages during
these events. Staff will meet with the Streets Superintendent as well as the Public Works
Director to discuss. Elliott was concerned about liability and asked if there are more trails
that are more appropriate for cross-country trails. Moran noted that criteria for neighboring
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
September 10, 2014
Page 5 of 7
cities are any trails that are connected to schools must be cleaned. Elliott suggested that
signs be put up letting people well in advance so that people are not surprised when the
trails are not cleaned. Bentler recalled that in looking at the snow routes last year there
were a number of places that shouldn't be Parks jurisdiction anyway. Moran stated that this
is an ongoing debate. He stated that there is an agreement with the DOT that Parks staff
clean some bridges and also an agreement to clean some Public Works Property. Staff has
already made some changes to mowing routes. Laurian asked if staff has considered a no -
mow approach. Hall said that they are looking at more prairies for less mowing. Elliott said
that in terms of public areas, not cleaning them is not a good idea on weekends. Hall said
he could get winter trail use numbers from MPO staff. Brown noted that he does a lot of
walking in the winter and prefers that the trails be snow covered rather than the ice that can
be created by cleaning, melting and refreezing.
Naming Policy: After receiving a proposal to name a street in City Park the Hughes
Memorial Drive, Moran revisited the city's Naming Policy. The policy states that a person
must be deceased for two years before such a request can be approved.
CHAIRS REPORT:
None
COMMISSION TIME/SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS:
Jones asked when prairie burns are done how it affects the turtle population. Moran said
they would likely avoid that particular area. Laurian noted that they do prairie burns at Kent
Park in the areas where turtles live and it does not seem to affect them.
Hamann asked if there were any updates regarding the Chadek Property. Moran said that
the purchase agreement will go before Council on October 7. The environmental study has
been complete and Terracon said they look very clean. Moran should receive a final report
from Terracon on 9/15.
Younker reported that the Ad Hoc Senior Services Committee will be scheduling some
additional meetings so he may be absent from some future Commission meetings. He
further stated that the Committee is making progress and that he appreciates any input from
Commission and staff.
Bourgeois said that he approached both Iowa City Landscaping and Quality Care and both
have agreed to design and maintain the entrances to the dog parks.
Elliott noted that she appreciates the prairie signs at TTRA.
Jones asked how the joint agreements are going with the schools. Moran noted that staff
has not heard back from them in some time. He anticipates they will develop a 28E
agreement similar to what is currently in place between Grant Wood and Mercer. Jones
said that the Iowa Public Health and American Heart Association are very interested in joint
agreements so would like to see what the schools have. Moran said that he can give her a
copy of what has been proposed so far.

Laurian asked if transportation can give Commission trail use reports that would include a
map of trails including intersections of major roads as well as any accident data. Moran
noted that Kris Ackerson with MPO was in attendance at a recent commission meeting.
Laurian said she does not recall that they looked at where the major concerns are. Moran
will talk to MPO for data and will revisit at the November Commission meeting.
ADJOURNMENT:
Moved by Bourgeois, seconded by Brown to adjourn the meeting at 6:23 p.m. Motion
passed 9-0.

ROLLER SKATING opened mid -month for the school year. Usually September is a very slow
but not this year. Apparently some skaters have been waiting for us to reopen. Skating staff will

First session of ART, DANCE and NATURE CLASSES opened mid -September. By far, most
popular are the dance classes. Youth art and nature programs also experienced satisfactory
registration but adult programming fell in other than ceramic programs,
AQUATICS
With the winter season fast approaching we are looking into ways to develop the private lesson
program. Winter is an excellent opportunity for us to experiment with times, numbers, and
overall schedules. We will be resuming our Saturday private lessons this winter. They are very
successful and usually fill. Due to this success we will be looking to expand these offerings, we
hope that this expansion will alleviate some of the evening session's congestion.
We have implemented an upgraded training regimen this past month. The new system allows for
greater accountability, more efficient training times, and expanded training options. Training is
something we take very seriously and our staff seems to be responding positively.

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
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.
October 2, 2014
Page 11
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 3`d building discussed in section
4.2 Project to Upgrade Building Automation System (BAS) to Connect Three Buildings.
TTRA — 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. A Honeywell Gateway device was installed by Affordable Heating and Cooling. This
allows remote connectivity to the HVAC thermostats to control the building temperatures
remotely. After considering options for a complete BAS integration that would cost $12-15K and
the cost of the gateway devices of $1800, this was found to be the best means to accomplish
operational goals. This option also gave us temperature control of both the lodge and marina
where the BAS would only control the lodge.
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.
October 2, 2014
Page 12
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, Mercer/Scanlon and Senior Center 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 ADDITIONAL SERVICES WORE(
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.
PH2 North Court RTU replacement — Attended preconstruction meeting re city hall north court
RTU replacement. We discussed scheduling and lead time for unit arrival,it does not ship until
11/21. Contractor will try to get Daikin to expedite. Baker has begun to work on VAVs pulling
wire. They are having an issue with damper controls on vays. We may have added expense to
change type of damper from plunger type to blade.
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. Bid opening October 2, 2014.
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.
Update: The assigned staff member has resigned his position with the city. This will delay
implementation of Antero until an acceptable replacement is found.
October 2, 2014
