(Master Plan: Enhance Program Development) Staff members invited the public to a celebration of the 50"' Anniversary of the Robert A. Lee Community Recreation Center. The band "Twist N Shout" played 1960s music in the Social Hall. There was also free family swimming, roller skating, and refreshments in celebration of this milestone year for the building.

(Master Plan: Enhance Program Development) The SPI Fright Night Halloween Party was popular with 120 participants in attendance. They enjoyed dancing, games, treats and a costume contest. (Master Plan: Enhance Program Development) PRESCHOOL/JR./SR. HIGH ACTIVITIES - SCANLON GYM The first session of the Fall ICRD Youth Sports programs ended. I conducted online parent evaluations for all fall youth programs as well as contacted volunteer and ICRD coaches in regards to positives and negatives on each program. Goal #5: Solicit Community Involvement and Feedback Held Friday Fun Night (6 kids / same night as uiowa parade) and Tot Monster Mash (185 kids) at the Mercer Aquatic Center Scanlon Gym. Goal 10: Plan for Continued Equitable Level of Service as Community Grows Recreation Division October 2014 Monthly Report Page 2 of 3 Started the fall session of the ICRD youth basketball program. During the fall session, 3 on 3 is used. This allows more experience with the ball and to provide more opportunities to learn players more opportunity at touches. 150 kids registered. Goal 3: Enhance Program Development. In order to lower player to coach ratio, I Recruited 18 volunteer coaches for the fall basketball season. Goal 7: Assure Financial Sustainability The Iowa City Recreation Division and Grant Wood Neighborhood Association moved the Grant Wood Skate program back to Friday nights, 6-8 pm, October — March. Admission is free. The Iowa City Recreation Division working with IC Bruisers to offer a Free skating program on Mondays, 6-8pm. Goal 10: Plan for Continued Equitable Level of Service as Community Grows Continue to promote youth sport programs and special events through ActiveNet, article manager, virtual backpack. Goal #6: Increase Awareness of Program Offerings. Continue to conduct post on -rental evaluations. Goal #5: Solicit Community Involvement and Feedback. Continue to send out weekly updates to part time staff regarding policies and upcoming information. Goal #l: Maximize the Planning Process SPORTS/WELLNESS Staff posted upcoming program information on the department's web page. Staff also posted an article on the department's website regarding Parent's Night Out. (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 Veterans Day office closing, the facility hours for the Thanksgiving holiday, and pickleball are just a few of the new ones. (Goal # 6 — Increase Awareness of Program Offerings). Fall volleyball continues in November with the season ending tournaments schedule for early December. (Goal # 6 — Increase Awareness of Program Offerings and Goal #2 — Track Performance Measures). The fall softball leagues ended on Monday, October 27. Results available upon request. (Goal #2 — Track Performance Measures). SOCIAL/CULTURAL The Robert A Lee Community Recreation Center's 50°1 Anniversary Celebration was held on Sat, Oct 4. Activities included free Family Swim, a 60's roller skating party complete with contests and a 50's/60's Dance. There was also an opportunity to sneak preview the master plan to begin wrapping the building in more Edible Landscape this coming Spring. A highlight of the evening was the surprise arrival of Mr. Roland Weiner, the architect of the Recreation Center. What fun to hear about the ground breaking and the early years of the Recreation Center! Final meetings were held to evaluate the City Park Rides and their operation this past summer and early fall. Several suggestions were given by the attendants, many of which can be easily acted on to improve efficiency. (Master Plan: Enhance Program Development) Recreation Division October 2014 Monthly Report Page 3 of 3 The Activity Guide was organized and submitted for early distribution. Plans are to get the books, hot off the presses and into the hands of the public by Dec I", well before they can get buried in the Holiday rush. Registration, likewise, will be held a month earlier, beginning on Dec 10 for most January — May programs. Dance offerings were more than tripled, a few new Special Events will be offered and some new craft workshops for preschoolers and their caregivers were added. (Master Plan: Identify and develop programs related to new trends; communicate more effectively our offerings) Halloween Parade and Carnival was again, very successful. Over 800 children and their parents/caregivers attended. Favorites continue to be the parade itself, the bouncy houses, the fortune Teller and the cookie decorating. Many local businesses make this event possible through donations of supplies and give -a -ways. Did you know? Iowa City has hosted a Halloween parade since 1947, making this the 68°1 Parade! This may be the longest running event around! (Master Plan: Reach out to those in financial need, build partnerships within the community) Work began in developing themes and general plans for Summer Camp 2015. A message to parents of 2014 campers will help design a more consumer friendly plan for 2015). Hard to imagine we will register campers 4 short months from now. (Master Plan: Solicit public input) Session 2 art classes opened with satisfactory to good registration. Requests were made to current co-sponsors of summer programs for their continued donation. (Master Plan: pursue alternate finding) AQUATICS Programs: Goal #1 Maximizing the Planning Process: For the Winter/ Spring 2015 season we will be once again utilizing one -day -a -week lessons. We currently offer lessons where a single class takes place over a twice -a -week format. In response to our evaluations (conducted at the end of each session) we will be offering a once a week option. We will also be implementing staggered registration. We will open registration for session 1 on Wednesday December 10`h, session 2 will not be available until Monday February 23`d. We are hoping this will reduce participants being registered for the wrong class and to allow for more access to the general public. It is our hope that this increased flexibility will allow parents to take part in lessons who were not previously able to do so. Facilities: We have two consistent complaints in regards to swim lessons; deck access and locker room cleanliness. The first is nearly impossible to overcome; we cannot allow parents that close to pool side as it creates a major distraction for both the instructor and the participants. The latter we are addressing in a two -prong approach. One: pool staff will do minor "run thrus" throughout the day, and another touch up right before lessons. Two: the facility maintenance staff will conduct a cleaning at 4pm to help improve locker room appearance after a full day of usage.

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. November 10, 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 3rd 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. 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. November 10, 2014 Page 12 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 WORK 3.1 Contractor Service Calls: 1. All Temp Refrigeration was called to various sites for plumbing and HVAC service issues. 2. Advanced Electric is investigating issues with outdoor lighting at Ashton House. 3. Dan's OH Door installed a keypad entry for the Ashton House Garage, 3.2 Contractor Service Contract Work: AAA Mechanical of Iowa City has been awarded a 3-year HVAC Preventive Maintenance service contract beginning in October 2014, 3.2a HVAC PM — facilities completed in October; water division, senior center. Water Division- AAA says 10 heat exchangers in various hanging heaters have cracked. This will be reviewed and consideration to continue with this type of heating arrangement will be investigated. The water distribution building on Gilbert Ct was added to the PM list. Met with AAA and Tim D at the site. We discovered some issues with the office HVAC arrangement are AAA gave pricing to remedy with a ductless split heat pump system ($5729). We will contact others for competitive pricing. Senior center- chiller has condenser leak issues and questions of past practices for winter shutdowns. Pricing for condenser replacement from 3 contractors has been received. ATR will likely do the job as they are low bidder ($11,530). This work will likely take place in spring 2015. There is also the issue of the chilled water loop here. It also has low glycol content and will be tested for contaminants before finalizing the glycol needs for this system. Currently there is a19% propylene glycol content. The hope is to simply add glycol to bring the content to roughly 28% which is the recommended mix for chilled water systems. We will winterize the system as in the past and correct the glycol issue in spring 2015. There is a freeze package installed on this chiller. November 10, 2014 Page 13 3.3 Project Requests: 3.3a Pool temperature control/automation — Due to other projects we have placed this project on hold. 3.3b Ashton House indoor stairwell handrail - Charlie's Welding to fabricate and install replacement. Existing is a hazard and pulls out of the wall. 4. PROJECT STATUS REPORTS 4.1 2014 City Hall HVAC Replacement Project: PHI PD/FD RTU replacement has been completed PH2 North Court RTU replacement — Attended preconstruction meetings bi-monthly. We discussed scheduling and lead time for unit arrival. It does not ship until 11/21. Baker has begun to work on VAVs controls. 4.2 Project to Upgrade Building Automation System (BAS) to Connect Three Buildings. Completed, Niagara front end installed. 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. 4.5 Ashton House Exterior Painting — Certa-Pro Painting was low bid and has been awarded the contract to paint the house. Project completed. 4.6 RALCRC Men's Locker Room Shower Replacement — AII Temp Refrigeration was lowest of 3 bids and was awarded the contract. Paul will order supplies with 4-6wk lead time. Project is scheduled for 1 sc week of December. 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. November 10, 2014 Page 14 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. 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. City Hall — There were 187 work orders completed.

RALCRC has posted MWII position vacated due to retirement. Applications accepted until the first week in November. 5.5 Miscellaneous Upon request of the fire department, we have taken the lead in monitoring and controlling fire stations HVAC equipment. Received notice from Ross of ATI that boiler water system at City Hall may be contaminated. It appears to be caused by the low glycol content in the system. Glycol is not needed and was only added as a precaution during a boiler change being performed during cold months a few years ago. We will drain and flush the entire system, add fresh water and treat accordingly in the spring. Due to current work on the city hall RTU replacement project addressing this before winter would not be advisable. November 10, 2014 Page 16 7. MAJOR MAINTENANCE REPORTS: 7.1 The RALRC pool leak has been addressed. 7.2 RALCRC Gilbert St handicap ramp has incurred some damage from the winter. Engineering will review for modifications to ensure ADA compliance. An initial cost estimate to replace the ramp is $8500. No other contractors seem to be interested or are too busy to bid on this project. The ramp continues to deteriorate as more pieces of cement fall off. We will try to move forward with the existing bid. 8. FACILITIES INSPECTIONS: Inspections conducted in October were Mercer and City Hall.
