Baby changing table in both bathrooms. Kohler toilets similar to those in pavilion. Floor mount urinal. Reuse present hand dryers. One adequate per bathroom. Floor tile in style to complement existing terrazzo floor.  Fredericks volunteers to work with architect on selection. Same flooring also to be laid in kitchen. Existing walls and ceilings in bathrooms to be covered and painted, even if a bit of square footage is lost. Insulate bathroom walls and ceiling, including walls adjacent to kitchen and storage room. Likely to use blow-in fiberglass or cellulose. Venting necessary. Ceilings of kitchen and storage area to be insulated at this time, but not side walls. Probably no insulation in breezeways (side entrances.) More study needed to determine what style of interior and exterior lighting. Architect favors an attractive chandelier in great room along with supplementary light fixtures with fans. Wall sconces nixed by all. Considerable discussion followed about efficacy of insulating great room in anticipation of possible year-round use for the building. Architect does not recommend doing it because of the large area of windows and brick walls in that room. Ceiling could be lowered and insulated at this time, with trim added at point where walls meet roof. Cost efficiency doubtful. Discussion about possible heating systems. Architect favors forced air for bathrooms, vs. electric baseboard. Agreed that much further discussion is needed with HVAC professionals to determine if consideration of heating and cooling the great room would be cost effective. Separate bids for great room HVAC services to be obtained. New Business Agreed it is too early for press releases about this project.

Adjourn at 7:38pm Submitted by David Bennett  2022 AGENDA ITEM Committee of the Whole Meeting date: ____December 6, 2022_______ Council Meeting date: ____________ ITEM:_Carryover of Flex Hours into 2023_ DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER: The City Council made an exception to the Personnel in order to allow salaried staff to carry flex hours forward from 2021 into 2022, although the existing manual indicates, “All flex time must be used prior to December 31st within the year of which it was earned. Flex time will not be paid out and has no cash value.” The personnel manual revision continues the use of flex hours, but does not require them to lapse at the end of the year since they have no cash value, and cannot be paid out. Staff request the City Council disregard the flex time reset that occurs after December 31, allowing flex time balances to be carried forward into 2023. All other elements of flex time would remain in effect, so the flex time hours would remain capped at a 40 hour maximum, they can only be taken at the mutual convenience of the employee and employer, they cannot be paid out, and have no cash value. The current revision of the personnel manual does not have a reset provision for flex time, so once ready for final approval, this annual action will not be necessary. LIST ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED: ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Consider these requests and provide direction for staff.  2022 AGENDA ITEM Committee of the Whole Meeting date: __December 6, 2022_________ Council Meeting date: ____________ ITEM:_Utility Commission Recommendations re: Utility Superintendent Title and Changes_ DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER: On Thursday, November 30, 2022, the Columbus Utility Commission met to discuss the status of the Utility Superintendent recruitment. At the conclusion of the most recent recruitment, the pool of applicants was insufficient. After reviewing recommendations from the WPPI Energy Consultants that have been working with the Utility, the Commission is suggesting changes that will require the City Council’s support and action. Jeff Feldt, a long-time utility executive, evaluated the situation on behalf of WPPI, and supported a, “Change to title of the position from Superintendent to Utilities Director. This updates it to a more professional title commensurate to the duties of the position as well as aligns with respect to other City department head titles.” Feldt also suggested a change in the salary range, which the Utility Commission has incorporated into their recruitment plans. In order the change the title of the Utility Superintendent to Utility Director, the City Council will need to approve several Title changes to the Ordinance. LIST ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED: ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review the recommended action and determine if the title changes in Ordinance should be brought forward for approval at the next meeting.  CITY OF COLUMBUS FOR MEETING OF: December 6, 2022 REQUEST FROM/DEPARTMENT: Council / CAAC AGENDA ITEM/REQUEST: Pool Rate *************************************************** From the direction of council, Kane and I found areas that could increase revenues for the CAAC. We believe if we raise the membership rates / daily admission rates too often or too quickly, the demand for our services may decline. We fear if we raise our daily admissions for both residents and nonresidents (back to back years), there is a great potential to lose the attendance of day camps that visit our facility each season; Last year the camps brought in revenue of $10,000 - $11,000 in 2022. We have to consider that losing this revenue will be detrimental to our fiscal season. Please see the enclosure for our suggested increases. DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF PROJECT/ITEM WITH KEY ISSUES NOTED: PREVIOUS ACTION TAKEN (IF APPLICABLE): BUDGET AND FINANCING INFORMATION: Account #: _________________________ Department: __________________________ Acct. # Approved Budget: ______________ Current Balance in Acct #: ________________ Remaining Balance in Acct #: _______________ (after approval)  Pool Rate Increases 2022 Increase in daily rates and membership fees Daily Rates  Resident Day Pass: $4.00 per swimmer increased to $5.00  Non- Resident Day Pass: $5.00 per swimmer increased to $6.00  Night Pass remained $3.00  Two and Under Day Pass remained: $1.00  Viewer Day Pass remained: $1.00  Lap Swim/ Water Aerobics Day Pass remained: $3.00 Summer Season Passes (Prices of season passes were increased April 1): Family Pass  Resident: $200 per family increased to $225  Non- Resident: $225 per family increased to $245 Individual Pass  Resident: $90 increased to $100  Non- Resident: $100 increased to $110 Couples Pass  Resident: $150 increased to $155  Non- Resident: $165 increased to $170 Lap Swim/ Water Aerobics Pass:  Resident: Price remained $50  Non- Resident: Price remained $65 10 Punch Pass:  Resident: $35 moved to $45  Non- Resident: $45 moved to $55  Potential increase in fees to raise CAAC revenues Increase swim lessons and swim team fees. Current Pricing:  Swim Lessons (Monday- Friday for two weeks)  Resident/ Member: $40  Resident/ Non- Member: $50  Non- Resident/ Member: $50  Non- Resident/ Non- Member: $65  *Increase each rate by $10; this could boost revenues up to $3,000 Swim Lessons generally averages between 250- 300 swimmers. Last year we had 291 total swimmers enrolled. With a new staff of lifeguards, we did cap our swim lessons classes at a small class size. Additionally, we were hoping to utilize some down time from 5-6pm when water aerobics is taking place to run other level 1 and 2 classes. Swim Lesson rates have not increased in many years. Swim Team (Monday- Friday for June/ July) Current Pricing:  Resident: $50  Non- Resident: $65  Increase Resident to $65 and Nonresident fee to $80 Swim Team ranges between 30- 45 swimmers per year. Last year we had 42 swimmers enrolled; 18 of those enrolled were resident and 24 were nonresidents.  Increased fees this could potentially boost revenues up to an additional $630 Reintroducing the Kids Mini triathlon as a revenue source. We stopped due to Covid.  Easily can draw in $500 for revenue. In the past fundraising was done to support the food, T-Shirts and medals. Reduction in open swim hours. Current Hours:  Monday- Friday 12-4pm & 6- 8:30pm  Saturday & Sunday 12- 8:30pm Potential option to close the CAAC at 8pm as opposed to 8:30pm nightly. At our current pay scale of $8.50 for ACS and $10.00 for Guards, closing at 8pm can create an average daily staff savings around $35-40; $245- $280 weekly.  Potential to save up to $3300 in employee wages, based on opening 12 weeks Closing earlier, helps allow CAAC management to follow Labor laws. Many employees at the aquatic center are in college/ high school. Most employees fall in the 14 & 15-year-old age range and cleaning duties are not completed by this age group of ACS employees because they need to leave by 9pm due to Labor Laws.
