*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*

June 9, 2015 County’s Pool Plans Include Family Summer Fun Traverse City – School’s letting out and Easling Pool at the Civic Center is offering something for everyone this summer in the way of health, fitness, and fun. In honor of Flag Day weekend, Veterans and their families are invited to swim free on Saturday, June 13, during Family Open Swim at Easling Pool from 2:30 to 5 p.m. On Friday, June 19, the community is invited to a “Fun Friday Flick and Float” event. Enjoy watching “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water,” while swimming in your community pool. “A movie in this context will entertain the entire family,” said Grand Traverse County Parks and Recreation Director Kristine Erickson. A few more “Fun Friday Nights” at Easling Pool will be planned in July, including a paddleboard clinic. For more details, check the online Easling Pool Calendar at www.grandtraverse.org/parks. Mark your calendars and encourage friends and family to participate in a free Community Water Safety Day event to be held on Friday, July 24, from 4 to 6 p.m. in Easling Pool. The program is a fun, interactive water safety refresher. Free swim testing will be offered, too. A spinoff of the County Parks and Recreation-sponsored Freshmen Water Safety Program, the refresher is based on American Red Cross safety principles, taught by Easling Pool’s certified Lifeguards, Water Safety Instructors, and Lifeguard Instructor. “It’s a wonderful team effort and a good opportunity to provide water safety education beyond the over-thousand TCAPS freshmen we have trained during the past two years,” said Erickson. She advised participants to wear swimsuit to maximize the experience of rotating through safety learning stations in our pool.” Parks and Recreation also is excited to sponsor a special Summer Swim League for 10-to-18-year-olds. The league runs June 15 through July 26, Monday through Thursday, from 5 to 6 p.m. The six-week league offers an opportunity for our community’s youth to try competitive swimming without a great expense or time commitment. The focus is to improve swimming techniques in an enjoyable atmosphere, to help participants enjoy healthy competition, and to create a passion for competitive swimming. The league is coached to Lifeguard Instructor and High School Girls’ Swim Team Assistance Coach, Erith Welch, and other enthusiastic community volunteers and coaches. Cost is $50 and registration deadline is June 12. Call 231-922-4814 for more information and to register.

Easling Pool Profile Civic Center History

• 1912: Property purchased by Grand Traverse County from Howard and Isabelle Whiting. It is the home of Northwestern Michigan Fair.

• 1962: Talk of selling property for private use, but public opposition so great, idea was dropped.

• 1962: Firm of Johnson, Johnson, and Roy are engaged study

property for recreational use. • 1967: Resolution adopted by then-Board of Supervisors to change

name to Grand Traverse Civic Center.

16

Easling Pool Profile Pool History

1969: • Board accepts master plan, including illuminated athletic fields,

parking areas, access and egress away from the main flow of traffic on east Front Street, picnic sites, and eventual addition of a conference center and an exhibit park.

• A 25-year lease agreement signed with Paul Easling Memorial Fund Committee (non-profit, Michigan corporation) for construction and operation of Easling Memorial Swimming Pool.

• Group raises money and constructs the Civic Center building to house the pool.

1970: • Easling Pool opens in December.

17

18


1971-73 • At some point funds for operations are depleted. Easling Memorial Fund

forfeits lease. 1973 • Northwest Michigan Fair at Civic Center location for last time.

• October: “Easling Pool Building” reverts back to the County.

• October: County Building and Grounds Committee recommends to County

Board that pool project be financed by the County, the City, Traverse City Public Schools, and Northwest Michigan College Board, and recommends that the County Board pledge its support to reopen and operate building and pool if partnerships secured.

• December: Funds to reopen pool made available through a contract with the State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources; City agreed to pay 50 percent of any loss above $10,000, with its share not exceeding $6,000.

19


October 1973 County Building and Grounds Committee recommendation states:

It is agreed that no student should graduate from Traverse City High School not knowing how to swim. There is a Federally funded program for Fourth Grade students to learn to swim.

20


The October 1973 County Building and Grounds Committee recommendation raises questions: • Why haven’t the schools made use of this program?

• Why isn’t swimming a part of the Traverse City School’s Athletic

Program?

• Why doesn’t the College have swimming as part of their Athletic Program?

• The City of Traverse supports swimming classes in the summer months, why not during the winter months at the pool?

21

Swim Lessons Protect Us Benefits of Swimming

According to the USA Swimming website, swimming: • promotes fitness (more than 30% of kids are at risk for

obesity-related illnesses) • is an exciting individual and team sport • involves extensive skill development • is a healthy "lifetime" activity from 1 to 101 • is relatively injury-free compared to other youth sports • motivates participants to strive for self-improvement • teaches goal orientation • cultivates a positive mental attitude and high self-esteem • can prevent drowning

33

Swim Lessons Protect Us Benefits of Swimming

• Swimming can cure • Friendships and life skills carry on for a lifetime • One’s personal safety increases • Know how to and how not to rescue others • Gain pleasure, health, and well-being • Builds confidence • Swim lessons help infants with development • Children with special needs respond well to

swimming

34

Considerations Benefits of Community Pools

• Add to a community’s recreational and economical value

• Attract people to our community • Add to overall property values • Source of employment for area teens to check in,

lifeguard, teach, sell concessions, and more • Social outlet; brings community and families together • Makes many aquatic opportunities available • Contributes to wellness of overall community

35

Considerations Statistics

Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project (GLSRP) Statistics • Drowning is a leading killer of American children. • Four Great Lakes drownings in 2015. • Since 2010 there have been 388 Great Lakes drownings. • Lake Michigan is the most dangerous, partially due to the

population density. • Typically 50% of drownings occur on Lake Michigan; 50%

happen in the south end of Lake Michigan. • Males four times more likely than females to drown, due to

risk-taking behavior. • Male teenagers tend to overestimate how well they can

actually swim.

36

Considerations The Questions

• Should government be involved in pool business? • Does unaffordability mean less fiscal responsibility? • Could resources be managed more efficiently?

• Parks don’t pay for themselves – is a pool or another

recreation facility any different?

• Do taxpayers support a facility, regardless if it is heavily used?

• How far should an entity go to ensure the future of a facility?

BALANCE PROCEDURES & OVERVIEW

PROJECT: Grand Traverse County Civic Center Pool ADDRESS: Traverse City, Michigan Purpose & Intent: We were contact to perform an analytical test of the existing pool air handling unit (DHU-1) that serves the existing pooling building. This included taking air volume measurements served by DHU-1 and an overall inspection of the blower compartment. This test did not include testing of the refrigerant cycle and associated components. We recommend that an HVAC service contractor licensed in refrigeration systems perform this work. The locker rooms are served by separate units and exhaust fans. DHU-1: We measured the supply air volume via the duct traverse method with an Alnor digital anemometer, model #AVM440-A. The final air volume was derived with the average velocity and the free area of the duct work where the velocity reading was measured. Our test revealed that the unit was providing 16,649 cfm which equates to 123% of the unit design volume of 13,500 cfm. The outdoor air was measured per the above method in the outdoor air intake duct. The outdoor air volume was measured at 470 cfm which equates to 20% of the specified outdoor air volume of 2,300 cfm. At the time of test, it appeared that the outdoor air damper was in the open position. We also inspected the outdoor air intake louver and bug screen behind the louver. From our inspection it appeared that the bug screen was not dirty. If it was dirty, this would cause a restriction in the outdoor air intake and help explain the reason for below design outdoor air. But that is not the case. At this time we recommend that a service technician investigate the operation of this unit and confirm that the outdoor air damper has been adjusted open via the unit control system. The exhaust air was measured per the pitot traverse method as above. The exhaust air was measured at 2,732 cfm which equates to 118.7% of the design of 2,300 cfm. We performed a complete static pressure profile on the unit along with measuring the fan/motor speeds and recording electrical measurements. For final static pressure profiles on the HVAC equipment, a ¼” hole was drilled for static pressure measurement and future reference point. Each hole was capped with a ¼” duct plug. Space Conditions: We measured & recorded the space static pressures as follows: Area Referenced to: Static Pressure Ideal Pressure Pool Area Outdoors -.030” Negative Pool Area Main Lobby -.122” Negative Men’s Lockers Pool Area -.027” Negative Women’s Lockers Pool Area -.115” Negative Temperature & Humidity Measurements: We measured the temperature and humidity of the pool area with the Alnor thermo-anemometer model #AVM440-A. Temperature 84.1 degrees Relative Humidity 41.6% Final Testing: Static pressure readings were measured with an Alnor digital micro manometer, Model #AXD620. Voltage and amperage readings were taken with a Fluke multi-meter, model #375. Fan and motor speeds were measured with a Monarch tachometer, model #PLT200. Date tested: 4/28/2015 Page 1 50

BALANCE PROCEDURES & OVERVIEW-continued

Final Comments & Observations: The Dectron unit (DHU-1) appears to be in good working condition. The supply blower is currently delivering above design air volume however, the blower motor is operating within its design specifications. Currently, the blower is operating at 7.648 brake horse power (BHP) for a 10 HP motor. The drive components (sheaves & belts) show moderate signs of wear for a unit of this age. Consideration to replace these components within the next 2 years is recommended. The overall condition of this unit appears to be in good working order.

The exhaust fan is also delivering above design air volume, but the motor is operating within the motor specifications. The exhaust fan is operating at 1.871 BHP for a 3 HP motor. It appears that the exhaust fan motor was originally a 2 HP motor. The current motor is a 3 HP so we assume that this motor was replaced and upgraded to a 3 HP sometime in the past. We found the belt loose on this drive and tightened up the tension during our inspection. The sheaves on this fan are showing signs of wear and should be considered to be replaced with new in the future.

The outdoor air volume was measured well below the design specifications. We inspected the outdoor intake louver and bug screen to insure it is not blocked with lint and dirt, which appears to be relatively clean. The air filter for the outdoor air intake section appeared to be relatively clean as well. However, the possibility exists that a dirty air filter may contribute to the lack of outdoor air. Another possibility for lack of outdoor air may be that the outdoor air control damper has to be adjusted to a greater open position in unit control system.

We also observed that there are (2) motorized dampers located on the ceiling of the pool area that penetrate the roof. We are unsure if these are motorized relief louvers of there is an exhaust fan located on top of these. At the time of test we noticed that the North damper was closed. The South damper was observed to be approximately 70% open.

Space static pressures were measured in the pool area and referenced to the adjoining areas. The pool environment should operate in a negative pressure so as to contain the environmental conditions within the pool space and not permeate throughout the rest of the building. All recorded measurements indicated that the pool area is indeed operating in the ideal negative pressure conditions. The negative space pressure in the pool area coupled with the open roof louver allows for additional unconditioned outdoor air to be drawn in thru the louver. We recommend that further investigation be performed as to the function, need and operation of these 2 existing roof louvers. Should it be found that these louvers are part of an older design and not part of the newer Dectron design, then we recommend that these penetration's in the roof be closed up.

With the above in mind, we believe that the following report should be self-explanatory; however, should any questions or concerns arise we stand ready to offer any additional information or assistance at your request.

2015-2016 Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan – Page 1

2015-2016 Grand Traverse County Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan

(FINAL AS OF MAY 21, 2015)

Mission Statement We will enhance community and quality of life through people, parks and programs.

Introduction The Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan will be developed for each year on an annual basis by the Parks and Recreation Commission during a special planning session, the time and date to be determined by the Commission.

During each year, on a semi-annual basis (or more often, as determined by the Commission), the Commission will review and revise the plan, as it deems necessary.

The plan will be comprised of a list of short-term and long-term goals (two years or less), each with assigned measurement or measurements to gauge progress, success, and completion of each goal.

Each goal will be assigned a timeline, an estimated cost (when applicable), and estimated revenue (when applicable).

The Parks and Recreation Director will report the progress of applicable goals during each of the Parks and Recreation Commission’s regular meetings. A record of accomplishments will be included in the Minutes of each regular Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting and in the Strategic Plan document (a living document to be updated as goals are revised or met).

58


Goals 1. Civic Center Master Plan Establish a timeline for completing the goals in the existing Civic Center Master Plan.

Measurement: Timeline is established for ongoing improvements. Business Development Team recommends priorities and projects to full Commission for approval on an ongoing basis. Business Development Team develops and presents a Civic Center Business Plan to full Commission and plan is approved.

2. Easling Pool Continue to review current Easling Pool user fees, make recommendations for increases,

as deemed necessary, and implement the increases at a time/date to be determined by the Commission.

Measurement: Provide a response to the County Board of Commissioners.

Issue a Request for Proposals for the management of Easling Pool; consider a

department-proposed, three-to-five-year management and business plan that moves Easling Pool to self-sustainability. Measurement: Responses to Request for Proposals are received and considered by Commission. Department plan is received and considered by Commission.

3. Skate Park Monitor and resolve safety issues.

Measurement: Continue to review and resolve Skate Park safety issues; continue to improve skate park’s surrounding areas to create a more family-friendly atmosphere.

4. Power Island Implement elements of Power Island Business Plan, funds-permitting – drill well, then

make plan to develop additional campsites. Measurement: Monitor progress and follow through, using Business Plan for Power Island as a guide.

Discuss Power Island maintenance.

Measurement: Discuss possibilities, as necessary or requested. 5. Keystone Soccer Complex Solidify or expand nonprofit partnerships to expand soccer fields.

Measurement: Partner with TBAYS and develop plan to add soccer fields and potential structure.

59


6. Twin Lakes Park

Decide how Twin Lakes Park will be used (private or public option) to minimize liability and expense to the County; continue monitoring and implementing business plan; monitor and report revenue.

Measurement: Continue fulfilling goals of business plan.

Address and resolve the park’s swimming and security issues. Measurement: Hire a consultant to assess beach relocation possibilities and, if feasible, make a plan to relocate beach for consideration by Commission.

7. Maple Bay Park and Natural Area Review Maple Bay Park and Natural Area Master Plan and identify projects and

improvements. Measurement: Commission identifies any necessary and affordable projects or improvements to enhance Maple Bay Park and Natural Area, and works with staff on a plan for implementation.

Continue to work with the Grand Traverse Land Conservancy under the 2015-2016 Memo of Understanding for the care and maintenance of Maple Bay Park and Natural Area. Measurement: Goals and projects identified in Memo of Understanding are completed.

8. Trails Continue to partner with TART Trails or other entities to provide further countywide

connectivity through non-motorized trails.

Measurement: Ongoing written and verbal reports from TART Trails and department Director to Commission; opportunities are identified, presented, and considered by Commission.

9. Grants

Explore opportunities for a Michigan Natural Resource Trust Fund grant.

Measurement: Identify parks and projects; make application.
