2020 AGENDA ITEM
Committee of the Whole Meeting date: __August 18, 2020______
Council Meeting date: ____September 1, 2020
ITEM: Columbus Trick Or Treat, 2020
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
For many years, the City has designated community trick or treat hours on either the
evening of the last Saturday in October or the afternoon of the last Sunday in October.
Last year the trick or treat hours were on Saturday, October 26th, from 5:00p.m. –
8:00 p.m.
This year, the last Saturday in October is October 31st, while the last Sunday will fall
on October 25th.
In the past, the City has implemented safety measures such as no parking zones in
congested trick or treat areas. Once the consensus regarding trick or treating is
known, staff will bring safety recommendations to the next COW for consideration.
With the uncertainty of COVID-19, it is impossible to determine at this time what, if
any, restrictions or guidance local, state, and federal officials may provide related to
community-wide door-to-door events like trick or treating.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:
Set Trick or Treat for 2020.

Enclosed is a quote from Neuman Pools for continued leak detection at the CAAC. The main
source of the leak we believe has been found (water feature) however, there continues to be
some water loss each day. A contributing factor is the expansion joints and caulk lines, which
are to be replaced by Mid-America in September. We are asking council to approve the work
by Neuman to rule out any other significant areas
The scope of work could be disbursed from several funds:
215-555210-249 POOL: EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE / a balance of 12,765.59

CITY OF COLUMBUS
FOR MEETING OF: September 1, 2020
REQUEST FROM/DEPARTMENT: CAAC
AGENDA ITEM/REQUEST: Water Attraction
***************************************************
DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF PROJECT/ITEM WITH KEY ISSUES NOTED:
The Blue Feature spray loop water attraction at the CAAC has a 12” crack in the vertical pipe that feeds
water to this attraction. To save on water loss, we closed the attraction down this summer. We believe
this was our main source of the leak in 2019. Enclosed are quotes to the City for repair on the cracked
pipe as well as an option to abandon the water attraction. Below is a brief description of each quote
received:
Fischer Brothers: DPW would prep the area of concrete demolition, and replace the
concrete and rebar when the pipe is repaired. $1450.00 / DPW to configure cost.
Musson Brothers, Inc.: This is less evasive of the quotes received where the cracked
pipe would be slip-lined. Slip lining is completed by installing a smaller, fiberglass liner
into the larger host pipe. Patching of any cracked surface would be the City’s
responsibility to fix. $6980.00
Neuman Pools Inc.: DPW would prep the area of concrete demolition, and replace the
concrete and rebar when the pipe is repaired. $6500.00 / DPW to configure cost.
Abandon the water feature: All plans for review are required to be submitted
electronically through the State. The fee for an alteration to an existing swimming pool
is $320, the fee for a modification is $1000.00, and an inspection would be included
with either. A modification consists of restructuring of the existing pool basin, which
may or may not include drain sumps. An alteration consists of changes to a pool or any
of its components or accessories that does not include any restructuring of the existing
pool basin.
Mid-America Pool Renovation will be returning to the CAAC mid-September to resurface the pool and to
replace the expansion joints and caulk lines set in place in 2017. This work will be a contributing factor
to continued water loss. Knowing if a repair or an abandonment is to take place, we can communicate
with Mid-America what steps they need to have in place to mend that area.
Musson Brothers, Inc.
Slip lining the water feature comes with a 5 year warranty
The fiberglass liner is 1.5 Millimeter; this will not affect the flow rate of the water
to the attraction. It consists of a specially designed glass-reinforced fabric and
two-part ambient-cure silicate resin mixture that does not require a heat cure or
other accelerators for optimal performance.
Musson Brothers uses a Hammer Head point repair system. It is a cured-in-
place pipe point or sectional repair solution.
The resin is a silicate resin that actually absorbs and expands. It is odor-free,
styrene-free, VOC-free and presents no hazards to the environment or human
health.
NOTE: This is only a 24” patch and does not include the entire length of the
pipe. Musson Brothers will pre-televise the entire pipe before lining.

Neuman Pool Previous work to determine leak
All pipes were pressure tested in the pool with the exception of the pipe to the body slide
and the vortex slide.
All activity pipes were tested and found the blue arch had a leak in the vertical pipe
Determined that the 4” and the 12” pipes had small leaks and those pipes were cut and
plumbed.
Pipes repaired were re-pressure tested, the fixes held pressure
Continued leak detection:
Neuman pools recently purchased a new leak detection system called the Leakalyzer. The
Leakalyzer enables you to quickly determine if a pool is losing water and how much water it is
losing. The device measures water level changes to the 10,000th of an inch, and tracks these
changes in real time on a digital graph. The work to be done is based on a time and material
basis.
Perform leak detection services on the rest of the pool
Develop a plan of repair if any leaks are found (findings would be brought to
council to develop a plan)
Work to be performed on a time and material basis.
Play Attraction Repair
Because the quotes provided for repairs at the pool did not include removal and replacement of
concrete, the Recreation Director asked that DPW provide estimates to complete the work. The
cheapest for DPW is about $1,000 on top of the current quotes Amy Jo provided (Option 1). This
includes opening up a 5’x5’ area to replace the broken pipe. The most expensive is about $3,500 on top
of the quotes. This is if DPW needs to open up the entire length of the pipe which is approximately 60’
(Option 2). Please keep in mind that we have no idea what we are getting into once we start digging up
the concrete as the plans are not true to specs and if we have to dig up the entire length of the pipe we
will be trying to bore under the concrete slab and under the gutter system. We will most likely end up
having to remove and replace all the valves and associated plumbing from the connection pit so that we
have room to work, which could be another $1,000+.
1) If DPW just has to saw cut and open a 5ft x5ft area to expose the pipe below
are the costs to complete the job:
Removal
Saw cutting 2hrs - $67.68
Labor cost for removal of debris (this includes jackhammering) 6hrs -$203.04
Truck #42 8hrs - $115.20
Rental of jackhammer - $40
Total cost of removal - $425.92
Replacement of Concrete
Replacement of re-rod (1 stick) - $13.79
3 yards of gravel - $16.95
1 yard of concrete - $135
End loader #6 - $47.10 (pick up concrete)
Truck #42 4hrs - $57.60
Labor 8hrs (2 people 4hrs) – $270.72
Total cost for replacement of concrete - $541.16
2) If DPW just has to saw cut and open the entire length of the pipe the costs
to complete the job are approximately:
Removal
Saw Cutting 8 hrs. - $270.72
Labor cost for removal of debris (this includes jackhammering) 16hrs - $541.44
Truck #42 - 8hrs - $115.20
Rental of Jackhammer (2days) - $80
No clue what the cost will be for the gutter if we have to remove it
Estimated cost of removal - $1,007.36
Replacement of Concrete
Replacement of re-rod (10 sticks) - $139.79
9 yards of gravel/clear stone - $50.85
8 yards of concrete - $1,080
Tool cat 8 hrs - $195.36
#42 8hrs - $115.20
Labor costs 24 hrs - $812.16
Total cost for replacement of concrete - $2,393.36
AGENDA ITEM
Committee of the Whole Meeting date: ____August 18 __
Council Meeting date: __September 1, 2020____________
ITEM: Review and Discuss recommendation from Plan Commission to adopt the
Site Plan Ordinance
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
In review of our ordinance, Staff has noted that City Ordinance only identifies
submission requirements for site plans under 114-26. Section 114-26 outlines the
submittal requirements for Conditional Use Permits. The site plan requirements for
permitted uses are not clearly identified in our Zoning Code. To provide transparency
