Specifications - Power Quality Analysis

Town of Nederland - PQM Study

1.0 PROJECT DETAILS

The NFPA Standard 70B Electrical Equipment Maintenance guidelines states "Electrical equipment deterioration is normal, but failure is not inevitable." An effective electrical maintenance testing program identifies and recognizes factors leading to deterioration and provides measures for coping with these factors. A well-administered testing program can reduce accidents, save lives and minimize costly breakdowns and unplanned shutdowns of production equipment. Benefits of an effective electrical testing program fall into two categories: a) direct measurable economic benefits are derived by reduced cost of repairs and reduced down time. b) less measurable but very real benefits result from improved safety in the operation of the electrical system.

2.0 PROCEDURES

ERS will complete the work per the following specifications for each of the items listed in the equipment inventory section. These specifications were developed from standard NETA Specifications, customer input, past experience and customized for your budget, equipment condition and time considerations.

Infrared Services

Detect trouble spots while equipment remains energized, allowing you to identify issues and take action before an unplanned outage occursMost electrical equipment generates heat during normal operations. Usually, this heat is safely dissipated on its own. However, problems can develop when components generate excessive heat due to corrosion, loose connections, or overload. Infrared Inspection identifies these abnormal thermal rises in electrical and mechanical equipment before an unplanned outage occurs.Equipment and components routinely tested by infrared inspection include:

n Substation Transformersn Capacitor Banksn Switchesn Fusesn Circuit Breakersn Busbarsn Cable Splicingn Motorsn Motor Control Centers (MCC)

Predictive Diagnostics

Predictive TechnologiesInfrared testing is a useful, practical tool for identifying defective components and other conditions that could result in a fire or electrical breakdown. Typically, traditional maintenance activities do not uncover these types of problems and most go undetected until there is an operating failure. Such failures can cause extensive damage resulting in significant business interruption and financial losses.

Recommended by ANSI/NFPA 70B Electrical Equipment Maintenance Standard and most insurance companies, annual infrared inspections can identify potential problems before an incident or failure occurs, avoiding costly unscheduled downtime and business interruption. When included as part of a planned maintenance program, it allows you to identify and deal with emerging problems early enough for maint-enance to be performed, reducing emergency repair and maintenance costs, improving overall system reliability, and extending the life of the equipment.

Benefitsn Improves power system reliability

n Eliminates unplanned downtime by detecting problems prior to an unplanned outage

n Reduces emergency repairs and maintenance costs and extends the life of the equipment

Infrared ServicesPredictive Diagnostics

Online TestingInfrared Inspections are performed while your system is energized and operating, avoiding any disruption of operations.

Non-intrusive TestingUnlike many predictive maintenance tests, infrared inspection does not require physical contact with the equipment. Two simple requirements are necessary for testing:

n Enclosures must be open allowing equipment to be in a direct line of sightn Equipment must carry a load current during inspection

Performed by ProfessionalsTwo factors can significantly alter the accuracy of an infrared survey: 1) the testing equipment and 2) the thermographer performing the test. For these reasons, it is important to choose a reputable company with the necessary qualifications, equipment and experience to perform an accurate Infrared Inspection. Emerson has more than 35 years of testing experience. Combining the best technicians with the most up-to-date, well maintained equipment enables Emerson to detect even the smallest temperature differential quickly and efficiently.

Report of FindingsAs a critical part of a complete predictive or condition-based maintenance program, Infrared Inspection findings are carefully

documented in a comprehensive electronic and/or paper report that includes:

n High resolution color digitized photographs and thermograms

n Recommendations for correction or repair

n Timely delivery of results prior to scheduled maintenance shutdown

BenefitsEarly detection from infrared testing can avoid unnecessary operational, safety, and financial losses. Additional benefits:

n Enables planned maintenance rather than emergency repairs

n Conducted while equipment is energized and operating, avoiding disruption of operations

n Eliminates potentially catastrophic losses due to equipment failures from electrical fires or other serious results when problems are not found with traditional maintenance methods

n Extends equipment lifecycle through early diagnosis and subsequent repair

n Promotes safety in the workplace since personnel are not exposed to faulty equipment

n Reduces equipment failures, protecting your capital equipment investment

Some of the attributes of PQ as they apply to AC power are shown below.

Power Quality Problems

Standards that are helpful in measuring and resolving PQ include IEEE 519, 1100, 1159, 1346, 493 and 446 (CBEMA Curve).

Solving Power Quality ProblemsThe first step is to identify the source and nature of the disturbance or condition that is causing the problem. This usually involves inter-views with facility personnel and making a variety of measurements using power monitoring equipment. Based on the source and nature of the problem, alternative solutions are developed.

Typical solutions may involve installation of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), design and installation of filters, removing the external source of interference or the answer might be as simple as transferring the load to another circuit or reconnecting an improperly connected ground or neutral conductor. Here are some examples of PQ problems and solutions.

Power Quality Why Test? Series

Why Measure Power Quality?Power Quality (PQ) refers to the reliable delivery of electrical energy in a form that enables electrical equipment to operate properly. When dips and swells, spikes, surges, momentary outages, sags or other disturbances occur – computers and other electrically powered equipment may malfunction, fail prematurely or shut down unexpectedly. Many facilities simply cannot accept these consequences. Consider hospitals, banks, data communications centers, manufacturing and other facilities that rely on smooth, reliable power for operations. The consequences of an unplanned outage can cost thousands of dollars each minute or result in unsafe conditions or other serious problems.

What is Power Quality?Power quality is a multi-dimensional and complex measure, especially as it applies to AC power circuits. PQ encompasses voltage, current, power factor and frequency spectru magnitudes. It can involve electromagnetic field measures. Sudden or gradual changes in any of these measures have a big impact on power quality. PQ is really a comparison of the actual to the ideal or desired values of each of the characteristics of electrical power. Unlike current or power, which are measured in amperes and watts there is no scoring or measurement unit for PQ. Consequently, terms associated with power quality refer to the gaps or anomalies between the actual and desired values. Desired attributes of PQ are therefore negative terms; no dips, no spikes, no sags, no surges, no outages, etc.

AGENDA INFORMATION MEMORANDUM NEDERLAND BOARD OF TRUSTEES Meeting Date: July 21, 2015 Prepared By: Chris Pelletier Dept: Public Works Consent ☐ Information ☐ Action ☒ Discussion ☐

______________________________________________________________________ AGENDA ITEM:

Public Works would like to Purchase 2 vehicles to add to the fleet and 1 golf cart for the Parks division. SUMMARY:

One of the vehicles in the Public Works fleet was recently in an accident and considered a total loss by CIRSA, and we are expecting reimbursement for the amount of $6,000. The decommissioned truck was a 1997 pickup that was really not worth all that much money anyway and needed quite a bit of work. Additionally, the Police Department wants to split the proceeds from the sale of their Dodge Ram truck earlier this year and give Public Works $14,000 of the total $28,000 they received. Currently, Public Works has one small 2001 pick-up in the shop for repairs and one 2011 full size pick-up for daily operations. I have recently contacted the City of Boulder fleet manager for potential vehicles for sale and there are several to choose from in the size I am looking for: small 6-cylinder economical pick-ups for moving tools around town or making runs down below for training and supplies. The 2 vehicles I am looking at are 2005 small extended cab pick-up trucks with toppers fully maintained, of about $7,000 apiece. Also, I am interested in a golf cart and trailer for the Parks division that I think would fit nicely in the community as a way of promoting our goals of zero waste and sustainability. Since Parks only has a vehicle need in the summer months and other than collecting trash and recycling, doesn’t have a whole lot of tools to transport, this would be a nice way to take advantage of the Town’s golf cart rules. With an amount of $20,000 total that is available to us, we can fill the department’s needs in an economical way.

QUESTION BEFORE THE BOARD:

Approve spending the $14,000 for two small pick-up trucks from the City of Boulder for the Public Works Department and the purchase of a golf cart and trailer for the Parks division. RECOMMENDATIONS:

Purchase well maintained vehicles from the City of Boulder, that encourages inter- governmental transactions. Also to allow for funds to be spent on a parks department golf cart. ALTERNATIVES:

1) Direct staff to research additional potential vehicles to meet the department’s needs

2) Direct staff to retain the funds for future use

ATTACHMENTS:

These are the vehicles that I have to choose from and their approximate values. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The $20,000 in funds to support the purchase of the two pick-up trucks and the golf cart would be drawn from the above-mentioned insurance payment and proceeds from the sale of the Police truck. #NEDZERO ITEM: 6M-02: Increase utilization of electric golf carts or similar as a means for lower carbon local transport

AGENDA INFORMATION MEMORANDUM NEDERLAND TOWN BOARD OF TRUSTEES Meeting Date: July 2, 2015 Initiated By: Paul Carrill, Marshal Dept.: Police Department Information _______ Action ____x___ Discussion ______

______________________________________________________________________ AGENDA ITEM: Police Department Traffic Safety Equipment SUMMARY:

The Nederland Police Department respectfully requests approval to purchase needed traffic safety equipment (barricades, cones, etc.), storage/utility trailer(s) and a replacement police services utility 4wd truck using the unbudgeted proceeds from the sale of NPD police Dodge truck. The NPD recently sold the police Dodge truck due to the truck being too large to operate within the town’s streets, narrow right of ways and therefore not meeting the needs of the NPD. During the sale of the police Dodge truck, the NPD learned that the Town’s Public Works Department was in need of a compact Public Works utility truck and since Public Works did not have the budgeted funds for a truck, NPD agreed to provide half of the Dodge’s sales proceeds to the Public Works Department for the purchase of a compact utility truck. (Public Works Department vehicle justification memo included) The NPD police Dodge truck sold for $27,500. NPD agreed to split the proceeds with Public Works Department. NPD would use $13,750 for the purchase of a traffic safety barricades, traffic cones, traffic safety equipment trailer, utility trailer and used compact 4wd police services utility truck to tow the trailer(s) and for general purpose patrol, community service and off-road needs.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve the use of these unbudgeted funds towards the purchase of Traffic Safety Equipment.

ATTACHMENTS: NPD Memorandum “Purchase Request – Traffic Safety Equipment” Traffic Safety Equipment Cost Spread Sheet FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The unbudgeted proceeds from the sale of the NPD Dodge Truck would be used. The total amount of the unbudgeted proceeds is $13,750.00 and would be used towards the total purchase price of $14,620.00 for the Traffic Safety Equipment, thereby leaving an unbudgeted amount of $870.00. The NPD has sufficient budgeted funds to absorb this remaining unbudgeted amount ($870.00) within its “Equipment and Supplies” line. Please note: NPD is currently working with several front range law enforcement agencies to acquire a previously used law enforcement fleet vehicle. If NPD can acquire a low mileage, well maintained fleet vehicle the purchase price will be significantly reduced, thereby eliminating the need to use any budgeted funds from its “Equipment and Supplies” line. NPD will work closely with the Town’s Treasury on these purchases and report the final costs and/or savings to the Board of Trustee’s.

MEMORANDUM

To: Nederland Board of Trustees (BOT)

From: Paul Carrill, Marshal

Date: July 2, 2015

Re: Purchase Request – Traffic Safety Equipment

The Nederland Police Department respectfully requests approval to purchase needed traffic safety equipment (barricades, cones, etc.), storage/utility trailer(s) and a replacement police services utility 4wd truck using the unbudgeted proceeds from the sale of NPD police Dodge truck.

The NPD recently sold the police Dodge truck due to the truck being too large to operate within the town’s streets, narrow right of ways and therefore not meeting the needs of the NPD.

During the sale of the police Dodge truck, the NPD learned that the Town’s Public Works Department was in need of a compact Public Works utility truck and since Public Works did not have the budgeted funds for a truck, NPD agreed to provide half of the Dodge’s sales proceeds to the Public Works Department for the purchase of a compact utility truck. (Public Works Department vehicle justification memo included)

The NPD police Dodge truck sold for $27,500. NPD agreed to split the proceeds with Public Works Department. NPD would use $13,750 for the purchase of a traffic safety barricades, traffic cones, traffic safety equipment trailer, utility trailer and used compact 4wd police services utility truck to tow the trailer(s) and for general purpose patrol, community service and off-road needs.

The justification for these items are as following:

• Traffic Barricades: Currently, NPD has no traffic barricades dedicated for traffic events, pedestrian management or special event needs. NPD routinely is requested to help CDOT, Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, Colorado State Highway Patrol to control or shutdown traffic on various roadways. These closure can run from a few minutes to several days, thereby requiring the need for sufficient safety barricades to safely control traffic. Additionally, during large special events in town, NPD doesn’t have the

necessary safety traffic barricades to control vehicular and/or pedestrian traffic in a safe and efficient manner.

• Traffic Cones: Currently, NPD only owns a handful of traffic cones. This quantity is not sufficient for managing vehicular and/or pedestrian traffic during emergencies or special events.

• Traffic Equipment Trailer: Currently, NPD has no way of storing and easily moving traffic safety barricades and cones to and from a traffic/crimes scene. An enclosed trailer would provide a single location for the storage of all the traffic safety equipment and allow the equipment to be moved to locations in a timely and efficient manner. Additionally, and enclosed trailer would keep the traffic safety equipment out of the weather, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

• Flatbed Utility Trailer: Currently, the Town of Nederland and NPD do not have a small flatbed utility trailer for general use. This type of trailer would be frequently used to move bulky and heavy items, bulky evidence, trash, campsite trash, dead animals, etc. that won’t fit or be safe to carry inside of a vehicle.

• Compact 4wd Police Service Utility Truck: Currently, NPD has no general purpose pickup truck. A compact, used, 4wd pickup truck, such as a Chevrolet Canyon/GMC Colorado, can be purchases used and will be used daily as a general patrol vehicle, special project vehicle, evidence recovery vehicle, traffic equipment trailer tow vehicle, flatbed utility trailer tow vehicle, etc. And since it will be a GM product, it will be consistent with the Town of Nederland fleet. Additionally, vehicle maintenance and repair can still be done at a reduced rate by the Boulder County Fleet Department.

• NPD has these funds in its FY 2015 budget, no additional General Revenue funds will be needed to implement this project.

Sustainability:

Currently, NPD uses GM vehicles. These vehicle have proven to be reliable for the demands of high altitude emergency use and economical to operate. Additionally, the Town of Nederland’s vehicle fleet consists of primarily GM products, therefore NPD would continue to source GM products for its 4wd Police Services utility truck. This also allows for the NPD vehicles to be easily rotated into the Public Works fleet in the future. Gas operated GM vehicles have shown to be economical, efficient and reliable in a mountainous environment. Also, by operating and maintaining a newer fleet, NPD reduces the amount of greenhouse gases and unburned fuels that older vehicles may release.

Uniformity and Maintenance:

Currently, the NPD uses GM Vehicles. This has creating a uniform fleet with the Public Works GM vehicles. Additionally, NPD has routine fleet maintenance done by the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office Fleet Operations at a reduced cost. It’s anticipated that when the new Public Works Shop is completed, and their fleet maintenance program is fully funded and operational, all Town of Nederland vehicles would be services locally, thereby reducing down-time and cost.

Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

#NedZero Code: STAR Code / Health and Safety, HS-3, Action 3: Partnerships and Collaboration (Participate in interstate, statewide, regional, or inter-jurisdictional mutual aid response systems)

(Mutual Aid Response Example: During a winter event and Boulder Canyon is closed due to ice and/or snow in the canyon, NPD is asked to close the top of the Canyon at Hurricane Hill Drive due to unsafe driving conditions. Having traffic safety barricades and cones would allow the NPD Officer the ability to create traffic channeling lanes and thereby divert the traffic during a long period of time without the need to constantly be standing in the roadway during inclement weather and reducing the cold weather exposure and traffic hazards that occur dealing with traffic incidents during a typical Nederland winter.)

AGENDA INFORMATION MEMORANDUM NEDERLAND BOARD OF TRUSTEES Meeting Date: Tuesday, June 2, 2015 Prepared By: Alexander Armani-Munn Dept: Town Hall Consent ☐ Information ☐ Action ☒ Discussion ☐

______________________________________________________________________ AGENDA ITEM: Presentation of STAR items related to “Public Safety/Policing” SUMMARY: Recently, with Trustee support, Town Marshal Paul Carrill and Administrative Intern Alexander Armani-Munn added a “Public Safety” card to the #NedZero database. This card will reflect the goals of the Nederland Police Department, with a primary focus on strategic planning and plan implementation. Further, this card will correspond with the Local Actions contained in the STAR Objective Area HS-7: Health & Safety-Safe Communities. Board members are encouraged to review the relevant pages of HS-7 taken from the STAR Technical Guide, which are attached to this AIM. HS-7 Actions 1-5 will be integrated into the Public Safety card on #NedZero, with minor adjustments to the language to reflect local conditions. HS-7 Actions 6-10 represent potential components of the NPD’s strategic plan and may be added to the Public Safety card in the future and at the Board’s discretion. Alexander will continue to work with Marshal Carrill to complete the Public Safety card and to compile the necessary data for STAR reporting. The Public Safety card will be completed by Tuesday July 21, and a memorandum detailing the card and its content will be presented to the Trustees at their regular meeting on the same date. HISTORY AND PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION: Nederland began reporting in the STAR Community Rating System in January 2014 and intends to submit data for a 3-STAR rating at the end of 2015. The more locally focused #NedZero reporting system was implemented at the end of 2014/beginning of 2015. An in-depth analysis has matched #NedZero items to relevant STAR items. Developing a Public Safety card on #NedZero will further the Board’s goal of reporting on STAR items that align with local goals embodied in various plans and programs. QUESTION BEFORE THE BOARD: Does the Board support the ongoing development of a Public Safety card which aligns with specific STAR criteria and promotes progress in the Town’s goals for safety and community policing? RECOMMENDATIONS: Provide relevant feedback that will guide the content of the Public Safety card.

ALTERNATIVES: Request a different approach to monitoring and reporting on the Town’s goals related to public safety and policing

Technical Guide to the STAR Community Rating System - Version 1.1 HS-7: Safe Communities

purpose

Prevent and reduce violent crime and increase perceptions of safety through interagency collaboration and with residents as empowered partners

evaluation measures

This Objective relies on the premise that the most sustainable approach to creating safe communities is by fortifying the underlying protective factors and relieving the risk factors that are the root causes of violence. For this reason, the Outcomes measure the reduction in violent crime in a community over time, while the Local Actions present a balanced array of strategies for violence prevention, violence intervention, violence suppression and enforcement, and reentry of ex-offenders. Note that this Objective does not address unintentional injury.

Community level outcomes100% of points available through Outcomes

outcome 1: violent Crime rate7.5 points

Option A: Demonstrate that the average violent crime rate for the past 3 years is below the following thresholds:• 5.5 homicides per 100,000 residents• 70 incidents of rape or attempted rape per 100,000 residents• 462.7 aggravated assaults per 100,000 residents

--OR--Option B: Achieve targets for a percentage decrease in violent crime identified in a locally adopted safe communities strategic plan [Partial credit applies]

At the local level, violent crime rates are provided through the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) system. The FBI strongly cautions against using UCR data to rank communities or evaluate law enforcement effectiveness because crime rates can vary widely due to economic stability, job availability, population density and degree of urbanization, and the concentration of youth, among other factors. Note that robbery is also a violent crime recorded through the UCR but it is not included in STAR because Healthy People 2020 does not set a threshold, unless the altercation involves injury in which case it would be included under nonfatal physical assaults.

For credit under Option A, the applicant must demonstrate that the community’s average violent crime rate over the past 3 years meets or is below targets set by the multi-agency federal Healthy People 2020 initiative. The rape and attempted rape target is adopted from Healthy People 2010’s standards because a target for Healthy People 2020 has not yet been published.

To determine the community’s violent crime rate through the UCR Data Tool, use the Find Data menu and choose One Agency, Multiple Variables, then select Violent Crime Rates for the city, county, or law enforcement agency of interest. Average the data from the 3 most recent years available for each of the category of incidents: murder and non-negligible manslaughter, forcible rape, and aggravated assault. UCR data is only available for communities with population 10,000 or greater. For smaller communities, use local data. Counties must include both the unincorporated areas and all municipalities with population 10,000 or greater, based upon a weighted average.

For verification, provide the average number of violent incidents in each category for the past 3 years and upload a completed STAR-provided Excel worksheet showing the annual number of violent incidents in each category.

For applicants that cannot achieve Option A, Option B provides partial credit for achieving violence reduction targets established in a locally adopted safe communities strategic plan. For credit, provide the percentage decrease in violent crime compared to the baseline year of the plan. See the Points Appendix for information regarding points awarded for partial credit.

For verification, provide the percent decrease in violent crime compared to the plan’s baseline year and upload a complete STAR-provided Excel worksheet showing achievement of locally adopted targets.

outcome 2: school violence7.5 points

Demonstrate that the average number of incidents of school violence is less than 10 per 1,000 students for all public schools in the jurisdiction

In addition to endangering students’ personal safety, incidents of violence on school campuses threaten students’ ability to learn and succeed. In its survey of 3,000 schools nationwide, the 2009-2010 School Survey on Crime and Safety (SSOCS) determined a national rate of violence of 25 incidents per 1,000 students for all elementary, middle, high, and combined public schools (p. 7). Violent incidents include rape, sexual battery other than rape, physical attack or fight with or without a weapon, and threat of physical attack with or without a weapon.

For credit, the applicant must demonstrate that there were less than 10 incidents of school violence per 1,000 students for all public schools in the jurisdiction. Data is typically available from the school district administration or the state department of education. In communities that have multiple school districts, the applicant may submit data for the largest public school district.

For verification, provide the average annual number of incidents of school violence from the most recent 3-year period for which data is available, and upload a completed STAR-provided Excel worksheet showing the annual number of violent incidents.

local actions70% of points available through Actions

action 1: Inventory, Assessment or Survey

Conduct a survey of community perceptions of safety recognizing that some crimes are not reported and to illuminate safety issues that need to be addressed

Perceptions of safety can vary widely within a community and can illuminate issues that need to be addressed in specific neighborhoods, especially since many crimes are underreported. Perceptions of safety also impact behavior and decision-making about where to live, how to travel, whether to exercise, and whether to engage neighbors. Common survey questions about perceptions of safety include:

• How safe would you feel walking alone in your neighborhood in general? after dark?• How safe would you say you feel in your neighborhood?• How concerned are you about crime in your community?• Do your children have a safe place to play in your neighborhood?

See the Additional Resources section for resources on conducting surveys about community perceptions of safety.

For verification, identify the type of analysis (map, database, report, survey, or other) and provide the title; a link to or copy of the inventory, assessment, or survey; a description of key findings; and the year created or completed.

Note that these survey questions may be similar to questions asked in EE-1: Civic Engagement, Outcome 3 or EAC-2: Community Cohesion, Outcome 2. If so, consider applying for credit under more than one Objective if the questions address the content described therein.

action 2: Plan Development

Adopt a safe communities strategic plan with a comprehensive, balanced approach that includes violence prevention, intervention, suppression and enforcement, and reentry strategies

A locally adopted safe communities strategic plan identifies prioritized actions to reduce violence in the community. It is highly recommended that the plan include key characteristics from the Prevention Institute’s UNITY RoadMap, described in the Additional Resources section, as follows:

• high-level engagement and participation from local elected leaders and heads of departments and agencies to develop and implement the plan;

• an interdisciplinary, multi-jurisdictional structure for collaboration that includes private, public, and community stakeholders to develop the plan and assign appropriate staffing to implement it;

• community engagement throughout the planning process from youth and adults, community-based and faith organizations, the business sector, and survivors of violence;

• a vision that brings together broad partnerships and constituencies to provide an inspirational, future-oriented statement for a hopeful, violence free community;

• an assessment of key community needs assessment and current status, identification and prioritization of key community risk and protective factors, and key data that will be used to inform the plan;

• identification of multi-sector programs, organizational practices, policies, and other strategies for prevention, intervention, suppression and enforcement, and reentry;

• a funding strategy for plan implementation.

For verification, provide the plan title; a link to or copy of the plan; the year adopted or last updated with a description of how the plan is still in use if more than 3 years old; a description of the development process and stakeholders involved; vision statement; key recommendations; strategy for implementation; and whether the plan has quantifiable targets (yes/no).

action 3:Education and Outreach

Educate the public and the media about the plan, its implementation, and successful programs and strategies

Public education about the plan is a critical aspect of ensuring momentum for the initiative. Community members have an important role in this communication in order to build credibility and reach new audiences. Education and outreach should be tailored to reach and be accessible to different audiences, and communicate the plan’s key messages consistently and persistently to the community and to the media.

For verification, identify 3 different types of education and outreach efforts conducted over the past 3 years, which can include events, classes, or workshops; a website; print materials; electronic media; social media; or other. For each, provide the title (and date for events, classes, or workshops), a brief description, and a link or copy if applicable.

action 4:Partnerships and Collaboration

Develop partnerships with local agencies, nonprofit organizations, schools, and residents to implement the strategies and programs recommended in the plan

Partnership and other mechanisms for collaboration and community engagement are vitally important to implementing the strategies and programs recommended in a safe communities strategic plan. Local government agencies should engage nonprofit, community-based and faith organizations, schools, the business sector, and community members, including youth, to ensure that implementation is consistent with local needs and priorities. To be effective, there should be an actively functioning structure for collaboration that includes clear decision-making processes, local government accountability, stable leadership, interdisciplinary and multi-jurisdictional partners, and opportunities for public-private partnerships.

For verification, identify the type of collaboration (formal partnership, appointed committee, or community collaboration); the name of the partnership or committee and a description of each partner’s contribution or the committee’s criteria for selection; a link to or documentation of the partnership or committee’s work; year established; key accomplishments in the past 3 years; and a description of the local government’s financial contribution and/or elected official/staff time dedicated in the past 3 years.

action 5: Practice Improvements

Establish cross-agency coordination and procedures to support balanced implementation of the plan

Local government staff should coordinate across agencies or departments to ensure all available resources are in use to confront interrelated issues contributing to violence. In addition to law enforcement, school, and social service agencies, other departments, such as planning and economic development, likely have a role in plan implementation.

For verification, describe the practice improvement; key accomplishments in the past 3 years; and provide a link to or copy of the annual report if applicable.

action 6: Practice Improvements

Perform ongoing data collection, evaluation, and monitoring from multiple agencies to track trends and identify emerging community needs

Data collection is often challenging because it is not uniformly collected or shared across local and state agencies. As part of the safe communities strategic plan, the community should identify key data indicators and work with agencies to collect and track this data over time. Data from law enforcement, health departments, emergency rooms, and human services providers may be particularly important in this effort.

For verification, describe the practice improvement; key accomplishments in the past 3 years; and provide a link to or copy of the annual report if applicable.

action 7: Programs and Services

Violence prevention strategies should respond to the community’s locally identified needs. Examples of violence prevention programs and strategies include:

• Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) efforts, which involve enhancements to the built environment to maximize visibility, increase positive interactions, limit the opportunities for crime, and promote social control of public space;

• targeted economic development and youth employment strategies to provide job opportunities and training in neighborhoods with high unemployment and at-risk youth;

• efforts to build community trust and social connections in neighborhoods highly impacted by violence through activities such as cultivating local leadership or programs to teach nonviolent conflict resolution;

• quality early care and education that fosters social, emotional, and cognitive skill development; and/or• parent and other caregiver training on effective parenting practices to support a nurturing, safe environment, such

as through the Incredible Years Series (IYS) or Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) programs.

For verification, provide the name and a brief description of the program or service; number of participants in the past 3 years (for CPTED efforts, list the number of neighborhoods targeted for improvement); and a description of the compelling characteristics that advance progress towards the desired Outcome(s).

Note that some activities may overlap with programs and services identified in EAC-2: Community Cohesion, Action 8. If so, consider applying for credit under more than one Objective.


Implement school-based violence prevention programs and strategies, particularly in highly impacted, urban, and at-risk neighborhoods

Examples of school-based violence prevention programs and strategies include:• anti-bullying programs and programs to promote emotional and social competence, such as the Promoting

Alternative THinking Strategies (PATHs) curriculum for elementary students;• programs that support youth leadership development and cultivate strong interpersonal, social problem-solving,

and conflict resolution skills;• quality afterschool and out-of-school programming that provide safe, enriching activities with structure and

supervision during non-school hours, including weekends; and/or• Safe Routes to School programs that enable kids to walk and bike safely to school, particularly in low-income

neighborhoods highly impacted by violence.

For verification, provide the name and a brief description of the program or service; a list of participating schools; and a description of the compelling characteristics that advance progress towards the desired Outcome(s).

Note that some of these activities may overlap with programs and services identified in EAC-2: Community Cohesion, Action 9 (same as EAC-5: Social & Cultural Diversity, Action 8) or Safe Routes to Schools programs addressed in HS-1: Active Living, Action 8. If so, consider applying for credit under more than one Objective.

Examples of violence intervention programs and strategies include:• street outreach and violence interruption strategies, such as CureViolence, that also lay the groundwork for long-

term prevention strategies;• emergency department data compilation to create a more accurate understanding of community conditions,

highlight additional crime prevention efforts that are necessary, identify needs for intervention, and strengthen collaboration between law enforcement, health providers, and community leaders;

• hospital-based violence intervention programs, such as those participating in the National Network of Hospital Based Violence Intervention Programs (NNVIP);

• substance abuse treatment coupled with efforts to enhance protective factors and address underlying risk factors, such as poverty oppression, deteriorating communities and social networks, and untreated mental illness;

• family support services, such as multisystemic therapy, case management, home visitation, and employment services, to relieve the underlying factors leading to violence; and/or

• youth mentoring programs for at-risk youth, such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, to provide positive role models.

For verification, provide the name and a brief description of the program or service; the total number of participants in the past 3 years; and a description of the compelling characteristics that advance progress towards the desired Outcome(s).


Adopt violence suppression and enforcement programs and strategies that support and build trust within the community

Examples of violence suppression and enforcement programs and strategies include:• offender-based policing strategies, such as Operation Ceasefire, in which community members and law enforcement

join together to directly engage specific individuals who are the most active participants in gangs, drug dealing, and other neighborhood violence to communicate a credible, moral message against violence, explain the consequences of further violence, and present a genuine offer to help those who want it;

• community policing that uses partnerships and problem-solving techniques to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues;

• ensuring responsiveness to all emergency calls and every appropriate request for service;• providing multi-sector service teams that respond to emergencies to ensure that services are immediately available

to meet the needs of victims and bystanders, not only suspects;• law enforcement procedures that ensure every use of force receives internal department review and further

investigation as appropriate;• support services for first responders;• accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA); and/or• regional approaches to law enforcement, especially among smaller agencies, to ensure a high-quality standard across

jurisdictions.

For verification, provide the name and a brief description of the program or service; a list of participating agencies and organizations in the past 3 years; and a description of the compelling characteristics that advance progress towards the desired Outcome(s).

Communities leaDing the way

Baltimore, mD: The Baltimore City Health Department launched the Safe Streets campaign in 2007, adopting a strategy called CeaseFire, now CureViolence, which has been very successful in Chicago. Cure Violence uses a public health approach to reduce and prevent violence by treating it as having characteristics of an infectious disease epidemic. After analyzing the clusters of violence and transmission dynamics, a coalition of violence interrupters, outreach behavior change agents, faith leaders, and other community coordinators work to stop the spread of violence and change behavioral norms. A 2012 comprehensive analysis of Baltimore’s program found that the Safe Streets program led to a statistically significant reduction in violence in the four neighborhoods where it was implemented. According to the Cure Violence organization, the model is being now being replicated in more than a dozen U.S. cities and has been shown to reduce violence by 41-73%.

minneapolis, mn: The City of Minneapolis’ Blueprint for Action: Preventing Youth Violence in Minneapolis has had tremendous success in reducing and preventing youth violence using a combination of public health and law enforcement strategies to address the root causes of violence. Upon implementation, the City experienced a 40% decrease in juvenile crime in its most violent neighborhoods in just 2 years with a 77% decrease in youth homicides between 2006 and 2009, according to a 2011 press release.

oxnard, Ca: Oxnard’s SAFETY Blueprint recognizes the importance of the Oxnard City Corps, a youth development program organized by City staff and area youth leaders, to prevent and reduce youth violence. The program uses community service as a platform for work and service learning. Since its launch in 1995, Oxnard City Corps teams have contributed over a million hours of community work and service, implementing over 12,000 projects, and engaging approximately 10,000 area youth in work training, service learning, and community-building activities.

san Jose, Ca: The San Jose Mayor’s Gang Prevention Task Force (MGPTF) integrates strong community collaboration to address gang violence and provide support to gang-involved youth and their families. MGPTF engages a cross-section of community partners, including the City, schools, community and neighborhood groups, faith-based organizations, other law enforcement agencies, and the County of Santa Clara Probation Department. Since inception in the mid-1990s, the MGPTF has reduced youth violent crime by almost 50%, cut the school dropout rate, and reduced the number of juveniles committed to the California Youth Authority and foster care.

The Nederland Area Historical Society July 10, 2015 Memo to: Mayor Joe Gierlach The Nederland Board of Trustees Alisha Reis, Town Administrator The Nederland Area Historical Society requests that the Town of Nederland share the cost of repairing the back porch roof of the Gillaspie House at #2, 4th Street. The Gillaspie House is owned by the Town and leased by NAHS to run as a museum according to the terms of its donation to the Town in 1975 by John Gillaspie. NAHS proposes to split the $2,000 estimated cost of repairs to the back porch roof and requests the Town grant $1,000 for this purpose. The proposed repairs have been approved by the historic landmark subcommittee of Boulder County Land Use Department. The original donation of the house to the town was accepted by BOT on May 6, 1975 with the proviso that the Nederland Historical Society “handle the cost of upkeep of the building including the lights and fuel.” Nevertheless the Town has provided repair services to the property in the past and helped NAHS finance the painting of the house in 2014. We propose that the repair of the back porch roof goes beyond the original meaning of “upkeep” and should be supported by the Town as owner of the building. When Betty and Dale Porter, caretakers, opened the Gillaspie House for its summer season we discovered extensive leakage inside the back porch ceiling and water on the floor and in the closet where we have stored documents and artifacts. The interior ceiling is of basic acoustic tiles and we have a supply of those to replace the damaged ones. The back porch was enclosed around 1940. You can see that the roof has a low pitch and does not shed snow, ice & water very well. There are about 4 layers of rolled asphalt roofing applied one over the other as they wore out, apparently. We think the Top Coverage Roofing plan to replace the old roofing with Class A Gypsum board (which is Class A fire rated) and rubber sealant will protect the interior without changing the overall historical look of the house.

The estimate (attached) reads: "Tear off/ haul existing layers of rolled roofing 7 pc. Secure rock gypsum board (class"A") fastened w/screws & plates. Remove 3 rows of shingles [to install] 30' 2" x 4" galvanized drip edge. [Install] 200 sq. ft. 60 ml. EPDM rubber roofing fully adhered. 15' water & ice shield. 2 bundles 30 yr dimensional shingles at tie-in. 5 yr warranty on workmanship. $2,000.00 upon completion." Sincerely, Kayla Evans, President Nederland Area Historical Society PO Box 1252 Nederland, 303-258-3405 Dale and Betty Porter, Gillaspie House caretakers 303-258-3082

Request for Agenda: The Nederland Area Historical Society requests BOT to contribute $1,000 toward the $2,000 estimated cost of repairing the back porch roof of the Gillaspie House Museum at #2, 4th Street. The roof, added around 1940, has been compromised for several years and was damaged last winter by ice and snow buildup. Leakage is ruining the interior ceiling and endangering historic documents and artifacts. Town owns the building. NAHS has leased the building since 1975 with a provision to handle maintenance such as light & fuel costs. Town has contributed to maintenance on past occasions and contributed to cost of painting the Gillaspie House in 2014. NAHS also requests the BOT to consider funding a line item for historic building maintenance and repair in its upcoming Budget for 2016. Spoke with Alisha Reis on several occasions in the past three weeks. Reis cautioned that the Town had no budget line item for historic buildings. EPDM is an extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) widely used in low-slope buildings in the United States and worldwide. Its two primary ingredients, ethylene and propylene, are derived from oil and natural gas. EPDM is available in both black and white, and is sold a broad variety of widths, ranging from 7.5 feet to fifty feet, and in two thicknesses, 45 and 60 mils. EPDM can be installed either fully adhered, mechanically attached or ballasted, with the seams of the roofing system sealed with liquid adhesives or specially formulated tape. - See more at: http://www.epdmroofs.org/what-is-epdm#sthash.oxsE6UQL.dpuf CertainTeed Green roofing: “The following information represents typical average properties of All Weather/Empire® Base Sheet:” (advertised as “green” by CertainTeed because uses pre and post consumer use materials such as slag, stone granules, corrugated mixed paper and sludge. “Some of these products contain up to 80% post-consumer and post-industrial recycled content, thus contributing to the Environmentally Preferred Products category within USGBC’s LEED-H standard.” BUT “ The overall pre- and post-consumer recycled content of our roofing products is between 1-50% “ But the roofing base is fiberglass, mineral agent, and comes in rolls that leave seams.
