Rink #2 Repaint: It's actually not re -painting but rather two of the walls will be blasted with recycled bulbs to remove the graffiti that has built up on them over the years. Fresh Blast is the name of the company that will be doing the work and if it works it will be a good option for other buildings hit with graffiti in the future. (General Capital Improvement Fund) Rondeau Park Basketball Court Resurfacing: This court was scheduled to be resurfaced in 2018 but groundwater and storm runoff problems have caused it to deteriorate earlier than originally planned. Staff is proposing to install drain tile around the south, west, and north sides of the court perimeter to capture as much water as possible before it runs across the court. The southern third of the court has been damaged by the water to the point where resurfacing it will not help. It needs to be completely removed and re -paved. The thought is the drain tile will prevent it from failing in the future. The City Engineer estimates this extra work will cost $7000, bringing the total amount budgeted to $10,000 in 2016. (General Capital Improvement Fund) Thunder Bay Court Resurfacing: This court has also worn out faster than expected and since three other courts are being resurfaced staff is proposing to move it into 2016 as well to gain some economies of scale. (General Capital Improvement Fund) Special Projects — ICWC: Staff has utilized the ICWC prison crews a lot this summer and sees the need to continue using them in the years moving forward. They are invaluable for tree trimming and other large-scale jobs. They have also been able to accomplish jobs in hard to reach areas in lieu of bringing in equipment and causing further damage. Since staff doesn't always have work for them, particularly in the winter, the Friday overtime day is used rather than getting a regular crew one day a week. We tried that in the past and had trouble keeping them busy. It costs $675 for 8-10 workers and a supervisor for a full day. Staff has added a line item to the capital budget for this crew in the amount of $10,000. That equates to about 14 days per year, which should be in line with our usage of the crew. (General Capital Improvement Fund) Security Cameras: Now that fiber line has been run to most of the City's buildings it is feasible to install security cameras at buildings and areas that warrant their use. The new public works facility has cameras installed and they provide a very crisp and clear view of the perimeter of the shop. Pioneer Park had some problems with windows being broken and the vendor area gate being pried open. Staff worked with Roseville IT to get a bid to install cameras at the building in the center of the softball fields. The total bid was $10,900. It was then decided that staff should look at other potential locations for cameras and work with Roseville IT to get pricing for more buildings. Other potential locations are City Hall, The Old Fire Hall, the Skateboard Park, Rink #2 on Demont, the basketball and tennis courts at Pioneer Park, the Spooner Park upper and lower shelters, and the Spooner Park garage that was recently broken into. Not all locations will work due to technological reasons but many of them will work. Staff has budgeted $50,000 for this work in 2016 and will figure out the most optimal locations and present them to the City Council at a later meeting. (General Capital Improvement Fund) 200 kW Generator: This has been added as a split cost between the public works capital budget and the sewer and water capital budget since it will be used to power lift stations and the booster 4
