The often-overlooked component of public works Bo Mills, PWLF APWA President

T

he Council of Chapters and Technical Committees met jointly in Kansas City, February 1-3, for a collaborative meeting for information sharing and brainstorming opportunities.

The APWA Board of Directors was also present and participated in the various meetings throughout this time. I am always amazed by the dedication and passion displayed by the many volunteers who serve in various capacities of our great association. Together we unite to develop and provide learning and networking opportunities for our membership that allow us to better serve the communities in which we live and work.

During one of the regional breakout meetings, it was brought to my attention that “Facilities” was not included on the list developed by our association identifying critical systems that should receive robust investment as public infrastructure. Recreational facilities are mentioned under Public Parks but there is no mention of Public Buildings. This raised the question in my mind: If we as an association overlooked facilities as a component of critical infrastructure, has local, state and the federal government overlooked it as well? Over the last few years there has been quite a bit of discussion on our nation’s failing infrastructure and the need to invest in either replacing or repairing it.

In January, President Trump challenged Congress to pass a bill focused solely on infrastructure investment to address the long overdue needs to invest in our nation’s infrastructure.

On February 4, Minneapolis, Minn., hosted Super Bowl LII. Super Bowl LII set the record for the coldest Super Bowl in the history of the game as the temperature at kickoff was 3˚F. However, the inside temperature of U.S. Bank Stadium was 70 degrees. Remember it was back in December 2010 when the roof of the Metrodome, the previous home field of the Minnesota Vikings, collapsed under the weight of approximately 15 inches of snow. U.S. Bank Stadium was designed and constructed to ensure that the roof of this structure would not allow snow accumulation.

This will certainly not be a case of history repeating itself.

The real heroes that night didn’t suit up for either the New England Patriots or the Philadelphia Eagles (sorry Eagles fans). These were the men and women who worked many hours in preparation for the game and many hours following the trophy presentation. Without these individuals the game and all the events leading up to kickoff would not have been possible. As I watched the game, I kept wondering just how many people it took working behind the scenes to make this event a reality. It was then that I realized that every public agency has their very own unsung heroes who are committed to making a positive difference every single day.

Infrastructure was not a term that I heard very much early in my career.

That is certainly not the case today.

It has become a buzzword for our industry. When public infrastructure is mentioned, what gets mentioned more often than not is bridges, roads, dams, drinking water, wastewater, avia-

tion and transit. Very seldom will you hear anyone say anything about public facilities, yet every agency has this component of public works that they are responsible for managing.

Managing facilities is more complex than it has ever been. Not many communities have had the luxury of constructing state-of-the-art facilities. Even those that have, still have older facilities that they must manage daily. Public works routinely competes with fire and police annually for funding needs.

Emergency personnel cannot carry out their essential duties without a fire station or a police station. Are they maintaining these facilities? Most likely not.

It is the agency’s facilities management staff who are tasked with keeping every function of the building operating effectively and efficiently. Public works then must determine how to divide up the funding that they are allocated among their many needs. Many times, facility maintenance items get deferred to the next fiscal year for consideration. However, this strategy does not always work as critical equipment essential to the

building operations may fail and there is no funding set aside for the repairs or replacement of this equipment. I encourage you to set aside infrastructure replacement planning dollars for facilities the year following construction of a new facility. If an organization waits until a facility is five, ten or fifteen years old, then you have waited too long.

Building security proposes a significant challenge for organizations when it comes to public facilities. Building security gets brought to the forefront with each tragic shooting incident that takes place. Not only does facilities management staff have to protect facilities against the natural elements, but now must protect the facility against individuals who desire to bring harm against the building occupants. It is unfortunate that we as public works personnel now must plan and prepare for such events that could have such a negative impact on our communities.

It is easy to plan for building security when designing and constructing new facilities; however, this becomes a bit more challenging when having to retro-

fit existing, older facilities with security measures to protect our employees and the citizens coming into these facilities.

In closing, I want to challenge each of you to take the time to tell those individuals who support your facilities day in and day out a simple “thank you” for the jobs that they do in order for you to do yours. This will be the technician who ensures that the facility’s HVAC system is operating effectively. This will be the janitorial staff that ensures that the restroom is cleaned and the waste receptacle in your office is emptied at the end of the day. This will be the maintenance worker who replaces the light bulb in your office after you submit a work order that it needs to be replaced. These are just a few examples of many that your facilities management staff provide your organization.

So, when the discussions are being held in your organization concerning critical infrastructure needs, just see to it that your facilities’ needs are not left out of the conversation.

TECHNICAL COMMITTEE NEWS

Facilities and Grounds: Building a bright future

T

oday’s facilities and grounds managers face many challenges. With sustainability initiatives, ever-increasing risk management concerns, ongoing budget constraints and aging buildings all competing for attention, it is sometime hard to know where to turn.

APWA’s Facilities and Grounds Committee is a great place to start.

Trever Leikam Education Manager American Public Works Association Kansas City, Missouri

This year’s Facilities and Grounds Committee is focusing their efforts on collecting and creating educational items for a new Facilities and Grounds Tech Toolbox. There are many standards and educational tools in these industries and having a central resource is beneficial.

One such example is the “Growing and Maintaining Healthy Grass” Click, Listen & Learn program presenting live on April 26, 2018. Be sure to register for this program as it impacts in some way all public works departments.

The mission of the Facilities and Grounds Committee is to provide APWA members with the resources for exchanging and developing ideas, information, skills, knowledge, and technologies for the operation, management, and maintenance of public buildings, grounds, and parks. The committee also

PWA Technical Committees and the Council of Chapters met in Kansas City on February 1-3 for combined winter meetings. More than 175 APWA volunteers, including the Board of Directors, and staff participated in the meetings. “This combined meeting provided an opportunity for these two groups to collaborate and exchange information and ideas that will further the initiatives outlined in the APWA Strategic Plan,” said Bo Mills, APWA

President. “The synergy created as a result of this meeting will lead to further opportunities for collaboration and awareness of how the Technical Committees and Council of Chapters can work together to support our membership.” Volunteers from more than 55 chapters participated in the combined meetings.

Prior to the general session for the Council of Chapters, members of the Council’s steering committee wel-

comed 17 new delegates and alternate delegates to the Council’s orientation for new members. “It’s exciting to see so many new delegates and alternate delegates stepping up to represent their chapters,” stated Jon Knowles, Chair for the Council of Chapters. In August 2017 the Council of Chapters transitioned its structure to focus on short-term strategic activities. Council members used their experience and expertise by offering feedback in targeted focus group discussions or implementing a project through a task force.

“The synergy created as a result of this meeting will lead to further opportunities for collaboration and awareness of how the Technical Committees and Council of Chapters can work together to support our membership.”

ways chapters can use social media within their chapter activities.

Chapter Mentoring – Chapter Mentoring Road Map Task Force. The Chapter Mentoring Road Map Task Force is working on a digital format for the Best Practices for Chapter Building by incorporating the Chapter Mentoring Catalog—now called the Chapter Mentoring Road Map—with short video segments from chapters sharing their successes and ideas. At present time six videos from chapters have been recorded to upload to the road map.

National & Chapter Scholarships Task Force. This task force has begun reviewing data collected from chapters regarding their scholarship programs.

The task force will work with staff to create examples, resource tools and education materials for chapters and branches to use as templates for their scholarship programs. The task force will wrap up their efforts with discussion and any recommendations for an APWA scholarship program.

K-12 Student Outreach Focus Group.

This task force has completed its review and offered comments on the K-5 curriculum. The task force completed its review of the middle school curriculum earlier this month. The last task is to complete a review of the high school career awareness public works curriculum and educational programs.

Chapter Awards Manual Task Force.

This task force kicked off its efforts to create a chapter awards manual.

This manual will be targeted for those chapters who do not have a current awards program in place. In addition, this template will provide resources for chapters who wish to expand or revise their current awards program.

Social Media Advocates Focus Group.

The Social Media Advocates task force will record a webinar to share various

Testimonials Task Force. This task force worked onsite at the winter meeting to record member and chapter testimonials on the use of APWA education resources to provide professional development for staff and chapter members.

These testimonials will be used by APWA for promotion and education outreach efforts through various communication messages.

Chapter Engagement & Satisfaction Survey. This new task force will work with staff to prepare a chapter engagement and satisfaction survey to measure the awareness, use and value of APWA resources provided to chapters.

This survey will be issued in the spring of 2018.

Groups that work together should socialize together. That is what happened when Technical Committee members and delegates enjoyed a night of networking and interactive games in Kansas City. This informal networking

allowed volunteers to further engage with friends and colleagues from across the United States and Canada.

APWA President Bo Mills and Executive Director Scott Grayson provided a “State of APWA” address to update volunteers on initiatives underway to support the APWA Strategic Plan.

Participants had the opportunity to ask questions of Bo and Scott. This update was informative for volunteers to take back updates to share with fellow chapter leaders and members.

The Tech Talk breakout sessions were designed to further the collaboration and exchange of ideas between the two groups. There were five breakout sessions offered: Asset Management; Benchmarking; Emergency Management; Trending Technology; and Tech Toolboxes. Attendees chose one session to participate in. The Tech Talk breakout sessions allowed volunteers to share ideas and best practices related to the industry and not their specific volunteer role. Jennifer Perry commented, “I appreciate the efforts that were made to encourage interfacing between the members of the Board of Directors, Council of Chapters, Technical Committees and APWA staff.

There was intelligent discussion about the direction of the association, what the challenges are in our industry and what members are most concerned about. Thank you for the opportunity to participate.” Phil Mann, Chair of the Emergency Management Committee said, “We are at our best when we collaborate and share lessons learned for the good of our profession.”

Committee members and delegates engaged in further collaboration through regional meetings. Each of the APWA regions met to further discuss APWA strategic initiatives. These smaller meetings provided Technical Committee members the opportunity to provide updates from the committees with the goal to identify further connections to engage with chapters.

Delegates shared updates on the activities and education programs offered to further the chapter-to-chapter mentor-

ing by sharing “it worked for us” ideas.

“Having Technical Committee members join the regional meetings provided a valuable opportunity to learn and ask questions about how these resources can support chapters,” said Martha Horseman, Kentucky Chapter Delegate and member of the Professional Development Committee. “Also, we learned how chapters can support and partner in their activities. Likewise, Technical Committee members gained additional knowledge on the numerous programs that chapters offer to engage members through professional development and other networking events.”

WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING “Excellent opportunity to learn from and collaborate with our colleagues in other committees.”

– M. Leon Berrett, Operations Associate Director, Salt Lake County, Utah

“Great opportunity to exchange ideas, network and catch up as to what is happening at APWA in Canada and the United States.”

“We are at our best when we collaborate and share lessons learned for the good of our profession.“

– Dwayne Kalynchuk, APWA Past President, 2003-2004

“APWA is focused on its members; keeping them current with technology, keeping them informed of future issues and setting them up to succeed so they can deliver quality services to their stakeholders.”

APWA Technical and Standing Committees conducted business meetings prior to and after the combined activities. Each committee focused on their 2017-2018 work plans which align with APWA’s Strategic Plan. Each committee had a full agenda which included work in developing future publications, PWX and Snow Conference education sessions, APWA Reporter articles, and CLL webinars. The Engineering & Technology, Fleet Services, Leadership & Management, Small Cities/Rural Communities, Transportation, and Water Resources Management Committees all met on Thursday, February 1.

– David Pinsonneault, Director of Public Works, Town of Lexington, Massachusetts

“The combined meeting provides an opportunity for committee members to collaborate regarding their goals and work plans for the coming year. Including the Council of Chapters is just an added bonus to be able to hear and learn from other chapters in your region.”

The Asset Management Task Force, Emergency Management, Facilities & Grounds, Professional Development, Solid Waste Management, and Utilities and Public Rights-of-Way (UPROW) Committees met on Friday afternoon and Saturday Morning.

hat makes people whiners?

I feel like everyone has an opinion and they think everybody needs to know.

I use a line, “People want to be yelpers but not helpers.” Everyone feels like everyone needs to hear their opinion on everything, but there comes a point where you go, “Alright, what are you going to do about it? You say you’re tired all the time, well, get more sleep or you’re not allowed to say it.” It’s much easier to talk about it than to solve your own problem.

The thing about Stopping Global Whining isn’t as much about trying to keep it from happening, but it’s doing your part—taking responsibility and accountability for you. I challenge peo-

ple. When I say to the audience, “See if you can go twenty-four hours without complaining about something, whether it’s driving, or how busy you are, or the weather.” It’s so easy to go, “Oh, I’m so tired, blah blah blah,” and it’s like, what can you change? There’s a difference between worrying about the things you can’t change and worrying about the things you can. We should focus on looking at what we can do. Part of it is a realization, or maybe a mirror reflected on you, to see how often you complain about something.

The first thing is to look at yourself and ask, “How often do I complain about things? Is it things I can change or is it things I can’t change?” Just focus on what you can. Let’s say that you say you have no energy or you’re tired.

One of the tests is, realize that what you say comes your way. If you say how tired you are, it’s amazing how much more tired you become. It’s like those people who say, “I get sick this time of year.” And then they get sick that time every year. They bring it on! For the people who say, “I can’t remember names,” well, say that twenty thousand more times and let me know how that’s going, because their words are triggering their brains to behave in a certain pattern. So, if you say, “I can’t lose weight,” “I can’t remember names,” “I don’t win anything,” “I have the worst luck,” and then you wonder why these things come true, well, the brain goes, “Oh, you have bad luck? Okay!” or “You can’t remember names? Well, let’s block those names out.” You really must watch your language, not just for cursing, but also for the negative things that you might say: “I always get lost,” “I’ll never keep up with my e-mail,” whatever it is.

In addition to eliminating the complaining, office workers can have more fun. When people are less stressed and have a lighter look on things, they become happier, which makes them more productive, makes them less likely to call in sick, and makes them less likely to go find another job. Usually people don’t leave bad jobs, they leave bad management—they leave bad vibes in the workplace. They’re just not happy to be there.

Humor is looked at negatively in corporate American businesses which is heartbreaking, because it’s what saves many people. Take Southwest Airlines or other companies that are wildly successful—their employees can laugh and be free. When you’re at work and someone complains about something, just go “Aww, that’s too bad, the complaint department is closed.” What if there was a whine jar and every time someone complained about something they had to put a dollar in it? We all know people who would have to put twenty dollars in at the start of the day, right?

BOOGIE is an acronym I developed that stands for Be Outstanding Or Get Involved Elsewhere. You know what?

Rock your job! You spend a lot of time at it. Do what you can to be the owner of your job. I just wrote a book called It’s Your Business. What if everyone looked at their position as if it was their business? How would they behave, how would they act, and would they put their heart in it? If your heart’s not in it, move on because a lot of people

would like to have the job that you’re complaining about every day. People say they’re living for the weekend. But the weekend is only two days. You’re living for only two days out of the week! Why not start Monday and go, “Rock and roll, let’s bring it on!”

I’ve had people come up to me and say, “You’re not really like this. This is what you do, but you’re not really like this in your everyday life.” Zig Ziglar said it best: “Motivation is like bathing—it needs to happen often.” It’s the same with energy. And it’s not easy. It’s easy to get stressed, and the world is becoming an increasingly dark place. But our challenge is to become more of a light.

What can we do to effect change? We all impact each other. People think that they are responsible for their happiness, but you can take the reigns yourself and go, “What can I do?” It’s good to have a good day, but it’s better when someone else has a good day because of you.

If everyone had that kind of attitude, everything would be better. The workplace would be better, customer service would be better. It’s a choice.

Over the last several years New England has been hit with unprecedented amounts of snow, ice and extreme cold temperatures. New England winters by any measure are extreme and challenging and public works departments across New England rise to the challenge year after year. The City of Manchester, New Hampshire, given its location north of Boston, is typically dealing with snow and ice events while cities and towns in southern New England are receiving rain events. While the City of Manchester is especially challenged by numerous winter storm tracks, they are no stranger to extraordinary weather events. The Manchester Department of Public Works has executed an exceptional snow and ice program that keeps its over 400 miles of roadways, city sidewalks and critical public facilities safe and passable quickly, efficiently, cost effectively and utilizing environmentally friendly techniques.

Salt is stored onsite in a fabriccovered building capable of storing up to 6,000 tons of road salt. Storing the salt under cover minimizes the issue of runoff from the salt storage pile. Liquid calcium is stored in a 2,500-gallon tank adjacent to two 5,000-gallon tanks of salt brine.

Trucks are preloaded with salt the day before a forecasted storm event and parked in a heated vehicle storage building capable of keeping up to 86 trucks under cover and ready for the drivers, enabling them to immediately get on the road and treat as needed.

City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin Milwaukee’s lakeshore geography poses unique challenges to snow and ice operations. Snow and ice control is the responsibility of the DPW Operations Division comprised of 850 employees in Fleet, Forestry, Parking and Sanitation Services. Collectively, these employees form the City’s cohesive winter weather snowfighting team. Their daily assignments range from vehicle repair, tree pruning and tree planting, garbage and recycling collection, special equipment operation or parking enforcement, but when snow and ice are in the forecast, they switch gears to a dedicated snowfighting force. Milwaukee’s snow season is defined as October 15 through April 15 with an average 47” of snow.

A General Ice Control (GIC) is the most common operation implemented for snowfalls of 3” or less. GIC operations utilize 107 salt trucks including six triaxle super salter trucks with 11.6-yard hoppers used for higher speed roadways, and 101 single-axle salt trucks with 6.8-yard hoppers and saddle tanks that range in size from 320, 400 or 540 gallons. Newer trucks have less granular capacity and increased liquid capacity and can be used for pre-wet and anti-icing operations. All salt trucks have closed-loop control point salt spreader granular and liquid management systems to effectively dispense product to the pavement.

When weather conditions permit, rock salt is pre-wet with salt brine to activate it sooner and reduce salt bounce. Salt trucks are also equipped with 10’ underbody plows and 10’ front-mountable trip cutting-edge plow blades when needed for higher snowfalls.

ontrol Award Winners City of River Falls, Wisconsin The River Falls Public Works staff is generally comprised of 12 staff members and is supplemented by City Facilities and Utility staff for the base winter maintenance operation. Snow hauling in the downtown area is done by City staff as well as a local contractor. Snow shoveling is a contracted service and is done in various parts of the community, including the downtown. Snow maintenance is a year-round operation with the off-season focused on training, equipment maintenance, and outreach activities. The typical winter season consists of approximately 25 snow events per season with an average annual snowfall of 45 inches. Of those, about 15 events are 1” or greater. One of the harsher winters in the past few years occurred five years ago with prolonged precipitation and cold lasting through April and the last measurable snowfall occurring on May 1. Typical winters have resulted in first snowfalls in early to mid-December and running until early to mid-April.

Each fall Public Works employees participate in snow removal and ice control training. This is a refresher course on snowfighting tactics for the experienced employees and an introduction to winter maintenance for new personnel.

Route maps are revisited and finetuned, adjusting to refinements in routes and to new areas as the city expands.

These updates are then incorporated into training done with local agencies.

The department also takes advantage of local and regional opportunities for refresher training or information on new products and processes and incorporates them into plans and manuals. A recent example has been an inclusion of a Materials section in the Winter Maintenance Policy Handbook.

Lake County, Illinois, Division of Transportation

Mount Prospect, Illinois, Public Works

In Lake County, Illinois, “Snow Season” officially runs from November 15-April 15, but planning and preparation starts well before. Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) spends several weeks testing and preparing equipment, training drivers, and planning the snow removal response effort so that the snowfighting team is ready to respond when winter arrives. Snowplow routes are analyzed carefully each year and adjusted when necessary to keep the routes balanced as lanes are added to the system, and to incorporate any lessons learned or conditions changed from the previous snow season. Each route typically averages about 33 lane miles. Currently the longest route is 38 lane miles, and the shortest is 28 lane miles.

Mount Prospect’s Snow and Ice Control Plan is a comprehensive document denoting the primary objectives of the Streets and Buildings Maintenance Division of Public Works. One of the primary objectives of the Department of Public Works is to provide for the safe and orderly movement of traffic in the Village of Mount Prospect during snow storms.

The Snow and Ice Control Plan clearly outlines the procedures used by the Public Works Department ensuring use by any maintenance employee.

The Streets and Buildings Maintenance Division is responsible for the management and implementation of the plan to maintain clear and safe passage of all Village streets throughout the winter season.

LCDOT has 29 large plow trucks; 26 dedicated to routes and three spare trucks. Every truck has a front and wing plow, spreader, computer salt and liquid control system, AVL, and twoway radio. As lane miles have increased over the years, wings were added to routes allowing operators to plow an additional half lane during each pass, increasing efficiency and reducing cycle time. The use of AVL technology provides the opportunity to monitor salt and liquid rates and usage in real time during an event and to run reports for response analysis.

www.apwa.net

Mount Prospect has acquired a variety of systems and measuring devices to help in defining road and weather conditions. These include truck-mounted pavement temperature measuring devices on supervisory vehicles, NOAA weather band radios, satellitedelivered weather information systems (DTN), and internet weather forecast providers. These systems are checked for function prior to the snow and ice season. All measurement devices and sensors are calibrated and maintained per the manufacturer’s recommendations. All computers, software, and communication systems are also checked and repaired as necessary.

The newest addition to the fleet is the Automated Vehicle Locator System (AVL). Coupled with the steadfast GIS mapping system, the Streets and Buildings Maintenance Division is equipped with the latest up-to-date technology and information to help handle the severity of any snow event.

kid steers, topography projections, worm composting and surveying equipment may sound like complex technical specialties, but for public works agencies, these are just a few of the tools used daily by our teams to help protect and improve the lives of our community members.

has been an integral part of communities for generations; however, to this day, too few understand or are aware of the work we do.

Since 1960, the American Public Works Association has sponsored National Public Works Week (NPWW), an awareness campaign to engage and

educate the public about our work. The Ventura County Public Works Agency (VCPWA) wanted to make the most of this opportunity by giving our citizens, students and teachers a behindthe-scenes look at the many ways our teams work together to serve our community through engineering, water and wastewater services, road building and maintenance, watershed and stream protection. We also wanted to leverage this opportunity to inspire the next generation of civil and structural engineers, geologists, hydrologists, maintenance workers, business professionals, contract managers, inspectors and others for a career in public works.

The vision and goal of VCPWA’s existing NPWW event took years to realize Initially, VCPWA’s NPWW event included a poster display in our Government Center’s Hall of Administra-

tion, a resolution commemorating NPWW by our Ventura County Board of Supervisors, and an announcement at our annual Employees of the Year meeting. Our team recognized that if we really want to make an impact on our community with this awareness campaign, we’d have to get more creative to engage the public with an informative and interactive event.

The pilot event: Ventura County’s Public Works Day In 2014, representatives from each of VCPWA’s five departments (Central Services, Engineering Services, Transportation, Water and Sanitation, and Watershed Protection) joined forces to www.apwa.net

develop an event that would transform the Government Center parking lot into an interactive learning center with visual displays and presentations that represent the everyday work of each department.

The first event in 2014 brought heavy equipment displays with a 17,300-pound crane and a 5,000-pound remote-control skid steer, recyclable arts and crafts, native and drought-tolerant plant displays to take home, along with a visit to the Storm Operations Center. VCPWA employees led tour groups of 50 students through the displays and facilities. While the event was on the smaller side, we

The skid steer is always one of the favorites. It can clean out under roadways and hard-to-reach places, and is always a crowd favorite. The skid steer is manned by Paul Golianis, WPD O&M (working the skid steer); Phil Raba, Central Services Division; and Andy Flores, Water & Sanitation.

received positive feedback from our tour groups, and took this “pilot event” as an opportunity to test community engagement and find ways to generate more traffic to our event for next year.

Inspiring the next generation Six months after our Public Works Day event, our planning committee reconvened to begin developing a bigger and better 2015 event. With the help of our public relations agency, Consortium Media, our team began outreach to local elementary, middle and high schools and invited them to experience NPWW as an educational field trip. This outreach effort paid off tremendously resulting in more than 450 students along with their teachers having attended our 2015 event.

The event added more experiences and tours to the itinerary with kid-friendly activities and topical stations which included demonstrations of surveying and hydrography equipment, a 24

presentation on solar panels, pervious concrete demonstrations, a raptor program exhibit, recycling displays and a Women in Engineering booth. Students also learned about our aquifers and the need for conservation, worm composting, sign making, hands-on augmented topography and even took a pledge to recycle. Our heavy equipment display also bulked up with the addition of 15 more vehicles which included a crawler excavator, snowplow truck with sander, a vacuum truck and more—a huge hit with the students!

Education was also a core part of this event. An internship and career booth highlighted the many opportunities public works had to offer. Students with an interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) subjects were given advice from VCPWA staff on resources available, such as the Agency’s internship programs.

VCPWA professionals from every department were on hand to teach the www.apwa.net

kids about the VCPWA’s inner workings, and each student received their own VCPWA-branded swag bag packed with an activity book, seed packs and a special VCPWA construction rubber duckie to take home.

Connecting with our County and City departments In 2017, VCPWA Director Jeff Pratt enlisted neighboring public works departments from the cities of Ventura, Thousand Oaks and Oxnard to join our event and deliver a united NPWW awareness campaign for the community. The City of Ventura Public Works hosted two booths: one that taught people how traffic signals work, how signs are managed, and about bicycle and traffic safety. The city’s Environmental Sustainability booth had interactive games and fun giveaways that explained stormwater pollution prevention, household hazardous waste, school programs, and their Green business certification program.

The City of Ventura also brought its pothole truck as a heavy equipment display, where their team demonstrated how the department fixes hazardous potholes found in city streets to ensure safer roadways for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.

Meanwhile, the City of Thousand Oaks’ Public Works Department hosted a two-day community event featuring guided tours, informational booths and equipment displays which included tree and landscape maintenance, maintenance of the city’s vehicle fleet, street repair, water conservation, recycling, bicycle safety, and the operations of water distribution and wastewater collection systems.

The City of Oxnard participated by hosting a Public Works Department Open House and Facility tours, featuring a heavy equipment show-and-tell,

along with educational booths and career information.

In addition to city public works departments teaming up for the event, County of Ventura departments and businesses who regularly collaborate with VCPWA on various projects joined the event as well. Ventura County Sheriff Office’s patrol services display and Southern California Edison’s electricity basics and safety awareness demonstration were a huge hit amongst the younger children, while older students enjoyed engaging with the Ventura County Emergency Operations Center team. And, the County Executive Office’s Human Resources team joined our career booth to educate the students about the various public sector careers.

Success Since its inception in 2014, VCPWA’s

Public Works Day has blossomed and transformed into one of the largest county-wide learning experiences attended by local school children and community members. Our 2017 Public Works Day drew more than 700 students and teachers from 30 schools, and more than 300 community members. Ventura County Public Works Day has also generated regional media attention from TV news stations, our local NPR affiliate and several daily and weekly newspapers.

Looking forward, we will continue building Public Works Day as an opportunity to connect community members with the commitment and contribution that our Public Works Agency team makes every day for Ventura County.

We were honored to have Jill, the 2018-2019 APWA national president, participate in the event. Public Works staff got the job done in August 2017, with a successful accreditation site visit. A four-person evaluation team judged our agency to be fully compliant with all but one of 409 required practices. Following the site visit,

our employees hustled and quickly got the one practice upgraded from substantial to full compliance.

It was a satisfying conclusion to a challenging process that required our 300-plus employees to document how the work they do fits into APWA’s accreditation framework.

Our employees sifted through a massive amount of paper and electronic records, honed their ability to write concise policies and procedures, and reaffirmed their longstanding commitment to continuous improvement.

Our three-year drive to achieve APWA accreditation was a journey. Although it’s gratifying to finally reach your destination, the real value is what you saw and learned along the way and how those experiences will shape your perspective for years to come.

Challenges and Strategies Clark County signed the accreditation agreement with APWA on Sept. 11, 2014, that gave the department 36 months to document compliance with required practices and present its work to a team of APWA evaluators.

My professional background includes becoming a project management professional, or PMP, certified through the internationally recognized Project Management Institute.

I was the fourth and final staff member assigned to be the department’s Accreditation Manager. In keeping with my project management background, one of my first (and entirely predictable) tasks was developing a project schedule with key milestones and due dates, to maintain and track progress.

An important action was to create a Core Team comprised of the Accreditation Manager and key staff, including representatives from the department’s senior management team.

Keeping the Public Works Director engaged and informed was critical to working through a monumental workload in the three-year contract period. Another useful approach was creating an “employee involvement plan,” which included orientation meetings covering each chapter, along with visual displays and monthly progress reports.

After “storming” for more than a year, the Core Team eventually focused on individual chapters and specific departmental work groups. We recognized that a shotgun approach, where employees were told to take charge and complete the necessary work on their own, wasn’t effective. With a more precise approach, each core team member reported progress to accomplish monthly assignments and manage timelines.

APWA Evaluation Team and County Staff – August 2017 (photo credit: Jeff Mize, Clark County Public Works)

The biggest challenge to working through each chapter in the 7th edition of the APWA Public Works Management Practices Manual was convincing staff the effort was important, not a “flavor of the month” initiative that would quickly fade, never to be mentioned again. Due dates constantly slipped as staff put APWA work on the back burner to concentrate on their “real jobs.”

As we slowly reached the “norming” phase, staff, especially supervisors and mid-level managers, began to see the value of addressing required policies, procedures and documenting their job duties. With upcoming retirements of longtime staff members, the need to capture institutional memory and knowledge became a high priority. Documenting how we comply with APWA practices helped facilitate retaining decades of experience and learning from retiring staff members before they turned in their keys.

An additional action that fostered a common approach and understanding was writing training for existing and new managers. Several accredited Washington counties recommended specialized training as part of the accreditation process.

In January 2015, Jordan Peabody of Peabody Communications provided a daylong training. Jordan’s father, Larry Peabody, wrote How to Write Policies, Procedures & Task Outlines, a manual first published in 1983.This training, which many 28

participants found extremely valuable, prompted Clark County Public Works to standardize its format for policies and procedures, regardless of whether they were old or new.

Management staff moved past the tedium that can go with writing policies, procedures and task outlines to strategically crafting management directives (policies), duties requiring multiple staff hand-offs (procedures) and single-person assignments (tasks). Staff got creative and developed flow charts, spreadsheets and other documents to more effectively capture and reflect job duties throughout the department.

Another critical component to achieving accreditation was ongoing staff communication. We started with one-on-one orientation meetings, customized PowerPoint™ presentations, and large, static displays at two major work sites to track overall progress. This included bricks for each completed practice on what became our “yellow brick road” to accreditation.

Monthly scorecards were e-mailed to all staff. Field staff actually contacted Core Team members to ask questions after receiving the scorecards. Articles in the department’s electronic monthly newsletter also kept staff informed, as well as motivated to meet key milestones. We even developed a brief accreditation glossary, in case anyone was confused about the difference between a policy and procedure.

A final opportunity that helped Clark County become accredited was my participation in two site evaluation team visits. The first visit was to Mohave County, Ariz., for reaccreditation; the second was to Bloomfield, Conn., for its initial evaluation. That was also Ann Daniels’ final site visit, which made it extra special for the site evaluation team.

In both cases, I learned from other public works professionals and saw how they handled their documentation, organization, paperwork and site visit planning. I shared these details with managers and Core Team members so they could get a better idea how other agencies approached accreditation and organized their site visits.

Although I came away with dozens of useful tips, the primary lesson was that we needed to be 100 percent ready for our site visit. Some of the evaluators could be real sticklers.

Benefits, Continuous Improvement and Maintaining Accreditation

Clark County Public Works already is laying the groundwork for the department to become reaccredited in four years, which will involve reviewing and updating all applicable practices. We will comply with any new applicable practices outlined in future editions of the APWA accreditation manual.

Achieving accreditation was a journey, one that helped the department streamline its operations and document how it serves our community.

Most importantly, we will apply what we have learned during the past four years because, as Heath says, “Accreditation is truly ongoing continuous improvement.”

“If you’re gonna be involved in the crash, you need to be involved in the takeoff” A lesson in public participation Bob Lowry, P.E., PWLF Retired Public Works Professional Colleyville, Texas Member, APWA Small Cities/Rural Communities Committee

S

hortly after I assumed the directorship of a growing Midwestern community, I had the opportunity to attend a neighborhood meeting about an upcoming public improvement project. The project involved rebuilding neighborhood streets and included complete reconstruction of the roadway, and adding new curbs and gutters, sidewalks and streetlights. When I got to the meeting the design consultant had displayed the preliminary design on large foamcore boards and the project engineer and the members of consulting team were gathered around the boards discussing the project while the neighbors were taking seats and waiting for the meeting to start.

At precisely 7:00 p.m. the project manager stood up in the front of the room and introduced members of the City staff present and members of the consultant’s team, and proceeded to describe the details of the project.

When he stated that new sidewalks were planned to be constructed on both sides of the reconstructed street, one of the attendees asked, “What if we don’t want sidewalks?” This question was immediately followed by, “What is going to happen to all the trees?” and very quickly the meeting went south.

30

At this point the City Engineer stepped forward and tried to explain to the group that the City Council had adopted design standards for residential streets and the consultant was following those guidelines. After a lengthy discussion about neighborhood concerns, including tree preservation, sidewalk alignment and shielding of streetlights, the meeting adjourned with a commitment to go back and see what changes could be made to the plans to address neighborhood concerns.

The next morning, at the After Action Review (AAR) of the neighborhood meeting, I learned that the standard process for public involvement was to have two public meetings for each project: one at the preliminary design stage to present the project plans to affected stakeholders, and a second meeting after the construction contract was awarded to introduce the contractor and discuss the construction schedule.

The reality was that City staff members were conducting public information meetings—not public meetings to gather public input about the project scope and stakeholder concerns.

www.apwa.net

Input from residents resulted in saving three large trees and still maintaining the integrity of the trail so that it complied with federal standards for trail width.

One of the outcomes of the AAR was the formation of a task force to review the current public meeting practice and develop a real public participation process. The outcome of that task force was a recommendation to conduct at least three public meetings, and more if needed. The first meeting recommended was one with a “blank sheet of paper” and would be conducted shortly after the design team had been put together but before any significant work was done on the plans. The purpose of this meeting was simply to listen to the affected stakeholders and find out about their issues and concerns. The second meeting would take place with a preliminary design and after right-of-way needs were determined. Depending on how that meeting went, there might need to be one more public meeting before going out to bid. The fourth and final meeting would be held after award of the construction contract to “meet and greet” the contractor and allow him or her to present the schedule and listen to concerns from the stakeholders.

A preliminary design is being discussed with local residents prior to finalizing plans.

In today’s world, public servants are being held more accountable than ever before and citizens are much more engaged than in the past. As public works professionals, we owe it to the citizens to listen and respond to their concerns, and to be more flexible in the delivery of public projects. This doesn’t mean that sound engineering practices are tossed out just to accommodate someone’s personal wishes, but it does mean that we need to listen and be flexible. While more meetings mean more staff time on the front end, they will likely result in better stakeholder satisfaction and advocacy, and less time dealing with unhappy citizens as the project progresses.

Sidewalks don’t always have to be straight and run perfectly parallel to the curb. Sometimes a sidewalk easement can be obtained to allow the new sidewalk to go around a tree, rather than removing the tree to make way for the sidewalk. It isn’t rocket science.

A meandering trail is much more aesthetically pleasing and often necessary to save trees or relocating utility poles.

Someone once said, “If you’re gonna be involved in the crash, you need to be involved in the takeoff.” Early involvement by stakeholders can go a long way in avoiding “the crash.”

#WeArePublicWorks and important benefits of your department using Twitter Emily Dowsett Government Affairs Media Manager American Public Works Association Washington, D.C.

O

perating the APWA Government Affairs Twitter account, @APWAgovaffairs, has provided me a firsthand look at how various public works departments across the country are using their respective Twitter accounts.

An active Twitter account is an easy and effective tool to quickly communicate messages from your department directly to those in your community. If you aren’t already tweeting up a storm, allow me to try and convince you!

People now more than ever are compulsively checking social media, even relying on Twitter as a “go-to” news source. Why not use that to your advantage and keep your followers updated in real time? In the winter months, my Twitter timeline is regularly filled with public works departments alerting their followers about inclement weather in the area.

You can easily tweet out which roads have been prepped, which roads have been plowed, and whether or not it is safe for people to venture out. I’m personally an avid follower of my public works department online, and always check their account for updates before I consider driving when there is a weather event. Another plus is adding a picture of your trucks on the side of the road, ready to keep the roads clear and community safe—some good PR never hurts!

32

Perhaps you are located in a warm climate with no snow events? Maybe there are road closures from flooding or wildfires. Better to try and deter motorists ahead of time to avoid a jam of people trying to turn around! There might not be a news crew around, so in the meantime you can quickly send out a tweet announcing the closure.

To increase the number of views the important tweet gets, you can add a hashtag including your location (e.g. #ArlingtonVA) so if someone who isn’t a follower is searching for tweets about your city or town, it will come up!

Twitter has positive uses beyond weather events or emergencies such as keeping the public updated on changes in work schedules or on your day-today projects. Is there a Monday holiday and therefore no trash pickup? Let everyone know so their trash isn’t sitting out on the side of the road before it will actually be collected. How about progress pictures of a new building project, or some pictures of your crew doing the long-awaited bridge restoration? Everyone loves to see progress and improvements being made in their neighborhood, and at the same time this information tells the public who’s responsible for maintaining and enhancing the quality of life to which they are accustomed.

Another great thing about Twitter, it works both ways! In the same way you can easily tweet out to your community, those in your area can reach out to you. Perhaps a community member is on a walk and sees a newly-downed powerline? Sure, you would assume they would call your department, but in this social media-consumed day and age in which many people solely communicate with organizations online, their first instinct may be to send you a tweet. Perhaps a young couple has a question about the timeline of the roadworks outside their apartment building? They can send you a tweet, and in an instant, you can respond.

Improving the communication channels between your department and those living in the community you serve is priceless.

Last, but definitely not least, my favorite use of Twitter for public works departments: putting a face on the industry. So many do not know all that public works entails, or they do not realize just how many hardworking people it takes to “make normal happen.” Our industry is constantly fighting for recognition and by having an active Twitter account, you are able to give your department and employees a face, and a voice. Post pictures of various employees hard at work in the community throughout the week accompanied by the tag #WeArePublicWorks to promote not only the hard work of your department but promote the industry as a whole.

Clearly, I am a big fan of Twitter, and I’m hoping that if you weren’t already, that you might be now! If you create an account for your department and follow @APWAgovaffairs, we’ll be sure to follow you. This will ensure you have at least one new follower immediately. An added bonus, our account will always keep you upto-date on the latest happenings in Washington, D.C., impacting public works throughout the nation. Please share your Twitter experiences and growth with me at edowsett@apwa. net or reach out anytime if you have questions. Happy tweeting!

NEAPWA Diversity Committee members tell their stories Mary L. Monahan Associate/Director of Business Development Fuss & O’Neill, Inc., Quincy, Massachusetts Member, APWA Diversity Committee; Chair, NEAPWA Diversity Committee

M

embers of the APWA New England Chapter’s Diversity Committee presented their stories and experiences at the Massachusetts Municipal Association’s Annual Meeting and Trade Show at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston. The NEAPWA Diversity Committee is promoting expanding awareness of public works career opportunities to women and minorities. The presentation team included Roby Whitehouse, Administrative Supervisor, Department of Public Works, Town of Yarmouth, Mass.; Isabel McCauley, P.E., Town Engineer, Town of Holden, Mass.; Lori Barrett, Highway Operations Manager, Town of Merrimack, N.H.; Catherine Schoenenberger, President, Stay Safe Traffic Products Inc., Westford, Mass., and President of the National Association of Women in Construction; and Mary Monahan, Director of Business Development, Fuss & O’Neill, Quincy, Mass.

The results of a recent survey by the Diversity Committee of NEAPWA Chapter members indicate that there are few applications for public works jobs from women and minorities in response to announcements of open positions. The survey underscored the fact that women candidates lacked the qualifications required by the positions, including CDL, hoisting, gas fitters, wastewater or water operators or other licenses; experience with tools including small power, mowers, construction, etc.; or past relevant job experience.

Lack of experience was noted by more than 70% of survey 34

respondents as to why candidates for positions were not selected. The women on the presentation team told their stories of how they found their careers working in the public works field. It is interesting to note that all had awareness and exposure to public works careers through previous work experience.

Mary Monahan began her career in the public sector. She is a former municipal administrator and found her way to public works when she became the town’s first interim DPW director for six months. For almost 20 years Mary has been working as a consultant supporting public infrastructure projects as a liaison between the engineering team and the project owner. Mary spoke about the challenge for public works operations to inform the public of the work they do beyond snowplowing and trash collection. Consulting firms aggressively pursue college students and recent graduates for engineering careers in the private sector. There is a lack of similar outreach for public works “boots” careers. Mary noted that at a recent technical school career days fair, students lacked awareness that public works career jobs include equipment operators, treatment plant operators, surveyors, plumbers, CAD operators, and more for which these students were being prepared.

Roby Whitehouse is the Administrative Supervisor for the Town of Yarmouth’s Department of Public Works, and she supervises Yarmouth’s Waste Management Operations, including the residential disposal area where she super-

vises a staff of 11 that includes two women, one Chief Scale Operator and one Recycler/Gate/Scale Attendant. Roby also oversees the Commercial Transfer Station and Wastewater Treatment Plant both managed by contracted operators.

Roby began her career as a clerk in the Yarmouth finance department and then made a lateral move to administration in DPW. Roby saw enhanced opportunities for career advancement in public works. Snowplowing is a small part of her job. She is especially proud of her work with local businesses and the Adopt an Island program. By and large a significant number of women business owners see this program as a means of supporting their community and advertising their business. Roby is proud to show herself to the community as a successful woman in a traditionally male-dominated industry. She noted that in Yarmouth male applicants outnumber female applicants for traditional public works positions, but that the Town recently hired a qualified female for one of two open positions.

Isabel McCauley began as Holden’s Town Engineer five years ago. Her undergraduate degree in engineering is from the University of Engineering in Lima in her native country of Peru. Isabel received her master’s degree in the U.S. She learned about public works while working as a consultant for eight years and was involved in projects for several cities

tive job with her hometown she took the opportunity. She noted that she credits her success in Holden on presenting herself as a member of the public works team. Isabel added that as far as she knows she is the first female in her position and that the Town recently hired its first AfricanAmerican staff engineer.

Lori Barrett is the Highway Operations Manager and leads an all-male team in Merrimack. N.H. She said that despite being sandwiched between two large cities, Manchester and Nashua, there are very few, if any, applicants from women and minorities for open public works positions. Lori added that as a mom, she found the stability of her position more accommodating to her demands at home compared to the uncertainty of hours and daily demands of her previous job in the private sector. A consistent work schedule supports both mothers and fathers.

Catherine Schoenenberger is President of the National Association of Women in Construction and is leading NAWIC’s efforts to make sure the construction industry not only hires and retains professional women in the trades but provides workplace conditions that support female employees: appropriate onsite portable toilets, safety gear for women’s frames, and more. In 2015 Catherine was awarded APWA’s Diversity

Exemplary Practices Award. Catherine is also the President of Stay Safe Traffic Solutions and sells to the public works markets. As a frequent visitor to public works operations she notes the disparity between professional public works shops that are clean and inviting and other shops where women and the general public may feel uncomfortable. That is a good indicator of whether women employees would be welcome. She added that these facilities are supported by public funds, thus all should feel comfortable working or visiting that operation.

The brief discussion afterword included concerns impeding women’s access to public works careers. One audience member asked about the requirement in her community to lift objects of a certain weight that precluded many women from a job in public works. The presentation team noted that technology, including electric lifts, no longer justified that requirement. An employee from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation spoke about the requirement that Mass DOT contracts include minimal percentage participation by women and minorities. He added his frustration that many project teams successfully secure waivers based on the fact that qualified minorities or women are unavailable: he questioned this assumption. Another audience member asked about potential concerns in the hiring

Nominating committee members carefully reviewed the nominations of individuals interested in serving as a Regional Director. Through a series of phone conferences, consensus was reached on a single individual for each Region.

Why should I vote?

The National Nominating Committee was appointed by APWA President Mills and is composed of one member from each region. The APWA Board of Directors approved the appointments to the committee during their March board meeting. The two most recent National Past Presidents served as facilitators of the conference calls and deliberation. Following careful consideration and, in the case of the President-Elect position, phone interviews, the National Nominating Committee came forward with names for the President-Elect and Directorat-Large positions.

The ballot will be available for online voting between May 29 and June 19, 2018 on the “Members Only” section of the APWA website. There will also be a voting icon on the homepage of the website. Additional reminders of the voting process will be sent through the APWA website; via e-mail to every member for whom we have an e-mail address; and in future issues of the APWA Reporter.

T

he United States Senate and House of Representatives have numerous committees that play a crucial role in writing, amending, and passing legislation impacting public works directly. As public works professionals and advocates, it is important to know the members of key Congressional committees and understand their procedures. Each Congressional committee has its own specific responsibilities and it is crucial to track their work and stay aware of legislation under their consideration. When public works professionals are informed about the work of Congressional committees with jurisdiction over public works-related matters, our voice is stronger when weighing in on legislation and regulations. Below are brief summaries about the Congressional committees impacting public works.

Senate and House Appropriations Committees The Senate Appropriations Committee is led by Chairman Thad Cochran (R-MS) and Ranking Member Patrick Leahy (D-VT). The House Appropriations Committee is led by Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ) and Ranking Member Nita Lowey (D-NY). The appropriations committees are responsible for funding the federal government. The Committees’ role is defined by the U.S. Constitution, which requires “appropriations made by law” prior to the expenditure of any money from the federal treasury. These committees write legislation that allocates federal funds to the numerous government agencies, departments, and organizations on an annual basis.

A few of public works areas included are: energy and water development; homeland security; interior and environment agencies; transportation; housing and urban development; and related agencies.

The Appropriations committees are also responsible for supplemental spending bills, which are sometimes needed in the middle of a fiscal year to compensate for emergency expenses.

Senate and House Budget Committees The Senate Budget Committee is led by Chairman Mike Enzi 38

(R-WY) and Ranking Member Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The House Budget Committee is led by Chairman Steve Womack (R-AR) and Ranking Member John Yarmuth (D-KY). Both the Senate and House Budget Committees are responsible for drafting budget plans for Congress and for monitoring and enforcing rules surrounding spending, revenue, and the federal budget.

Senate Environment and Public Works The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee is led by Chairman John Barrasso (R-WY) and Ranking Member Thomas Carper (D-DE). Over the years, the committee’s public works jurisdiction has grown from oversight of new federal building construction, additions to the U.S. Capitol building and grounds, and the White House and its grounds, to legislative responsibility for the development of the nation’s interstate highway system, flood control, and navigation. Additionally, the committee is responsible for creating new laws to achieve air and water pollution control, rural and community economic development, and relief from natural disasters.

Senate Commerce, Science & Transportation The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation is led by Chairman John Thune (R-S.D.) and Ranking Member Bill Nelson (D-FL). The committee has a vast range of issues under its jurisdiction. These issues range from communications, highways, rail, shipping, transportation security, weather, science, space, interstate commerce, tourism, consumer issues, economic development, technology, competitiveness, product safety, and insurance.

Senate Energy and Natural Resources The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources is led by Chairman Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Ranking Member Maria Cantwell (D-WA). Jurisdiction of the committee includes oversight and legislative responsibilities in the following major areas: energy resources and development;

WASHINGTON INSIGHT national parks; public lands and their renewable resources; and water and power resources.

Security runs efficiently, and shields the homeland from international and domestic threats.

Senate Finance

House Natural Resources

The Senate Finance Committee is led by Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-OR).

The committee oversees legislation relating to: taxation and other revenue measures generally; costumes, collection districts, and ports of entry and delivery; the transportation of dutiable goods; deposit of public moneys; general revenue sharing; and national social security.

Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs The Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs is led by Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Ranking Member Claire McCaskill (D-MO). The committee’s responsibilities include broad jurisdiction over government operations generally, and the Department of Homeland Security in particular. Its primary responsibilities are to study the efficiency, economy, and effectiveness of all agencies and departments of the federal government; evaluate the effects of laws enacted to reorganize the legislative and executive branches of government; and study the intergovernmental relationships between the U.S. and states and municipalities.

House Energy & Commerce The Committee on Energy and Commerce is led by Chairman Greg Walden (R-OR) and Ranking Member Frank Pallone (D-NJ). The committee has responsibility for matters including telecommunications, environmental equality, and energy policy.

House Financial Services The House Financial Services Committee is led by Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) and Ranking Member Maxine Waters (D-CA). The committee has jurisdiction over issues pertaining to the economy, housing, insurance and exchanges.

The Committee oversees the nation’s economy through its oversight of the Federal Reserve Board and individual reserve banks, the Treasury, the production and distribution of currency, and the nation’s capital markets.

House Homeland Security The Homeland Security Committee is led by Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) and Ranking Member Bennie Thompson (D-MS). The committee is to provide Congressional oversight for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and better protect the American people against a possible terrorist attack. This Congress, the Committee has passed several critical pieces of bipartisan, homeland security legislation to prevent terrorist attacks on the homeland, protect against cyber-attacks, ensure the Department of Homeland

The House Committee on Natural Resources is led by Chairman Rob Bishop (R-UT) and Ranking Member Raul Grijalva (D-AZ). This committee handles legislation about American energy production, mineral lands and mining, public lands, oceans, and irrigation and reclamation.

House Transportation and Infrastructure The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure is led by Chairman Bill Shuster (R-PA) and Ranking Member Peter DeFazio (D-OR). The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is one of the largest committees in Congress and has jurisdiction over all modes of transportation: aviation; maritime and waterborne transportation; highways; bridges; mass transit; and railroads. The committee also has jurisdiction over other aspects of our national infrastructure, such as clean water and wastewater management, the transport of resources by pipeline, flood damage reduction, the management of federally owned real estate and public buildings, the development of economically depressed rural and urban areas, disaster preparedness and response, and hazardous materials transportation.

In addition, the Transportation Committee has broad jurisdiction over the Department of Transportation, the U.S. Coast Guard, Amtrak, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Economic Development Administration, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and others.

Ways and Means The Committee on Ways and Means is led by Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) and Ranking Member Richard Neal (D-MA).

This committee is the chief tax-writing committee in the House of Representatives. The committee exercises jurisdiction over revenue and related issues such as tariffs, reciprocal trade agreements, and the bonded debt of the United States, and the revenue-related aspect of the Social Security system.

It is important to learn about the role of Congressional committees in the legislative process. Engaging with members of these committees assists APWA advocates in speaking up on behalf of our public policy priorities. All public works professionals can be advocates and all public works voices are needed!

GAC INSIGHT

GAC Spring 2018 Meeting in Washington, D.C.

Lisa Ann Rapp, PWLF Director of Public Works City of Lakewood, California Chair, APWA Government Affairs Committee

Y

our Government Affairs Committee (GAC) met for our annual spring meeting in Washington, D.C., from February 7-9, 2018. The meeting was an excellent opportunity for the members of the committee to interact with APWA’s Washington, D.C staff, discuss APWA advocacy policy, meet with representatives from a number of federal agencies, and visit with key staffers on Capitol Hill. The agenda was packed with meetings over the two and one-half days, along with a little drama as the House and Senate held late Thursday night and early Friday morning votes to avert a second government shutdown this year!

The first day of meetings kicked off with a report from Executive Director Scott Grayson on the “State of APWA” which is strong and healthy, implementing the Strategic Plan adopted in 2017. The GAC is an important component of at least two of the four overarching goals set forth in the Strategic Plan. Voice: Be the voice of public works to government leaders and media. Value: Define the value of public works and enhance its visibility/awareness. The GAC, along with APWA’s officers and directors, have made great progress in raising APWA’s profile on Capitol Hill with a number of visits and events on key public works issues. The Public Works and Infrastructure Caucus in the House of Representatives was an idea proposed

by APWA. Working through the Caucus, APWA continues to build relationships with Members of Congress and their staffs, and provides valuable education through issue briefs on public works-related subject matters.

Planning for the future, the GAC discussed the public policy documents developed and adopted over the past year, targeted at the 115th Congress.

At PWX in August the GAC will start to develop ideas for enhancements and changes that may be needed for the next Congress. One summary document highlights key features from each of the four policy areas: Infrastructure Financing & Funding; Provide for Transportation Infrastructure; Support Water Resiliency; and Recognize & Support Emergency Management & Response. The GAC members are also starting to gather information on laws, regulations, and provisions within each area that either harm or benefit public works for inclusion in the GAC’s future work program. If you have any specific examples, we urge you to reach out to members of the GAC or APWA Washington, D.C. staff, and the contact information is available on the Government Affairs section of our website at www.apwa.net.

Transportation Safety Meetings with federal agency representatives kicked off with Mark Kehrli, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Office of Transportation Operations. Mark came with the message that FHWA is, and has been for several years, required to develop programs to improve road safety, and one of those is the Traffic Incident Management (TIM) training for first responders. First responders, including public works crews, are subject to considerable risk when responding to traffic incidents on our roadways. Secondary crashes produce serious injuries or deaths, but with improved training, these tragedies can be averted. A “Train the Trainer”

curriculum is being presented at no charge around the nation to allow local leaders in police, fire, public works, and tow operators, to be prepared to propagate these life-saving procedures in their communities. FHWA is also studying the long-term effectiveness of this program. For more information, you can go to www.fhwa.dot.gov and search for TIM.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Next the GAC met with Joseph Redican, Deputy Chief of the Planning & Policy Division of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Directorate of Civil Works.

Joe came to the meeting for a conversation about how the USACE can work with APWA and its members on projects that benefit communities and the nation. USACE has 35,000 employees, with 600 of them military. Civil Works has a budget appropriation of about $5 billion annually and has enjoyed an extra $1 billion in the past couple of years. Today, more of their focus is on operations and maintenance (O&M) rather than construction. They presently have a $96 billion backlog of construction projects, which would take 20 years to accomplish, if appropriations stayed level and no new projects were added. They no longer have the funding to take on local projects in their entirety, so they would like to leverage their resources by partnering with state and local entities. They would also like to see changes in the federal rules to reduce barriers to P3 projects.

Members of the committee raised several important issues including the challenges in coordinating requirements from different federal agencies that have different objectives. An example given was different environmental mitigation requirements for permits from different federal agencies. Joe acknowledged the need for permit streamlining. Responding to another example, conflicting hydrological models between USACE and FEMA that can affect funding, Joe indicated that USACE has been more actively involved in doing watershed plans, which should help inform funding issues. The lack of O&M at major

infrastructure sites was raised, and Joe acknowledged that they would like to perform more O&M projects, but their rules sometimes do not allow it.

Finally, 408 permit processing time was raised, and Joe alerted the members to a bulletin coming out shortly that will state new procedures allowing decisions to be made at the field level more quickly. Finally, Joe asked that we keep communications open so that we can work collaboratively and be unified in our messaging where possible.

FEMA and Disaster Recovery Alex Amparo, the Federal Emergency Management Administration’s (FEMA) Assistant Administrator for the Recovery Directorate, gave an overview of the 2017 disaster season, which was historic in its scope and cost. The previous record was 105,000 registrations in one day, occurring 18 days after the event. In 2017, that record was broken 18 times, five days after the event.

FEMA conducted 2.4 million inspections—they had 6,000 inspectors in Texas, and 5,000 in Florida. He touched on the wildfires in California and the devastation in Puerto Rico. FEMA has an annual budget of about $15 billion with 21,000 full-time staff. They presently have 17 field offices operating in 14 states.

GAC members shared questions and stories of their own experiences with declared disasters and asked about how lessons learned will be implemented.

Alex spoke of the opportunities to restore infrastructure that will perform better in future disasters. Alex also addressed an issue of great concern to the GAC: the “claw back” provisions that affect recovery funding. Alex clarified that the Inspector General audits expenditures and recommends return of funding if the recipient has failed to follow federal law, but FEMA rejects their recommendations 91% of the time. APWA staff noted that the draft of the National Mitigation Investment Strategy is out for comment, and APWA is actively involved in the process. Alex reiterated the importance of the public process and provided assurance that 42

FirstNet – Emergency Communications Andrew Delaney, First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet), returned for his second visit to the GAC. Andrew provided an update on the implementation of this program: all 56 U.S. states and territories have opted into the network. AT&T won the contract to build out and operate the infrastructure that will provide the network for data communication. The network will be highly secure, with managed access and superior coverage. It will have an enhanced user experience, with end-to-end encryption. There will be an application storefront and vigorous security evaluation. There will be a local portal that will allow for local uplift capability. It is up to www.apwa.net

the subscribing agency to determine the priority level, but they will have uplift capability for individual lines.

There are Primary users and Extended Primary Users—public works agencies are designated Extended Primary Users because we support public safety.

The network today rides on the top of AT&T’s current network. In the second quarter of 2018, AT&T will be launching the separate core network, using the Band 14 spectrum. States are looking at various purchase vehicles to get the equipment out to the jurisdictions.

Go to FirstNet.com for FAQs and more detailed information.

Environmental Protection Agency – Water and Wastewater Lee Forsgren from the EPA Office of Water addressed the GAC on regulatory initiatives and the Waters of the US Rule (WOTUS). President Trump

has directed EPA to repeal the 2015 WOTUS Rule and replace it with something consistent with the result of the 2006 Rapanos vs. U.S. case. In a twostep process, EPA first returned to the rule established in 1987; the process resulted in 680,000 comments. Step Two is development of a replacement rule. In early March, states will have the opportunity to provide input. After the Supreme Court’s January 2018 ruling, a two-year delay was established.

Lee stated that a new proposed rule for WOTUS will be cleaner and with a much more understandable definition of where the line is between what is a Water of the US, and what is not.

Lee mentioned EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s three priorities: WOTUS; the Lead and Copper Rule; and infrastructure financing. EPA’s goal by the end of 2020 is to have a nationwide database of flow sensors and pollutants. He noted a historic level of cooperation

between the EPA and USACE, developed through their work on WOTUS. EPA is also trying to integrate data from the Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Geological Survey.

Raffael Stein from EPA’s Office of Wastewater Management focused on infrastructure and accelerating investment in the nation’s water and wastewater systems. He highlighted the State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs, in which EPA capitalizes the state financing authorities that loan out the money. EPA is assisting states in marketing their SRF programs. With the tremendous need for water infrastructure, they are not experiencing the anticipated demand, which EPA recognizes is due to inherent challenges within the sector that are hard to overcome. Raffael also spoke about the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) program. In this program, EPA becomes the bank

and they loan money for investment in water infrastructure. EPA has a small appropriation and the money is heavily leveraged, with no history of significant default. There is a two-stage application process, with an initial letter of interest submittal. EPA received over 43 letters of interest totaling $6 billion in requests. The Agency selected 12 projects, with a year to complete the application process. WIFIA has a very attractive interest rate and flexible terms. The SRFs and WIFIA can be used for improvements to municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4), but the challenge is that many do not have dedicated revenue streams to be used for repayment. Raffael also mentioned EPA’s Water Resiliency Financing Center, a compendium of information and examples of what communities are doing for stormwater financing.

Eric Burneson, EPA Drinking Water Program, noted that March 8, 2018 is

the deadline for comments on the new Lead and Copper Rule. Lead and copper are two of 90 constituents that EPA regulates under the Clean Water Act; they are also regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The lead regulation has been in place since 1991, and currently, action must be taken by the water provider only if elevated levels of lead are detected. Water systems with elevated lead levels must replace their portion of the lead service lines at a rate of 7% per year, until the lead levels drop below the action level. Eric posed a question to the GAC members about proactive replacement of lead service lines, including the portion on the customer’s property. Eric also discussed corrosion control treatment, required in all systems over 50,000 in population, or if lead levels are over action limit. Should all systems with lead services require corrosion treatment?

He touched on the public education requirement for systems after elevated levels of lead are detected but questioned if there should there be some proactive requirements for homes with lead service lines.

Capitol Hill Day two of our meetings occurred in the Senate and House offices of various committees and subcommittees, meeting with key Congressional staff. On the House side, the GAC met with the Appropriations Transportation Subcommittee, the Appropriations Interior and Environment Subcommittee, the Energy and Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Environment, and various subcommittees under the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. On the Senate side, GAC members met with staff from the Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee, the Appropriations Interior and Environment Subcommittee, the Appropriations Transportation Subcommittee, and the Environment & Public Works Committee. In all of these meetings, GAC members stressed our needs for infrastructure funding, 44

streamlined permitting and commonsense regulation, with stories and examples from our own jurisdictions.

A highlight from the House side meetings was the opportunity to meet with House Public Works & Infrastructure Caucus lead staff to the Caucus CoChairs Representatives Ryan Costello (R-PA) and Dina Titus (D-NV). Katherine Loughead and Ben Rosenbaum have been instrumental in helping to get the caucus established and have worked closely with APWA staff and members to conduct important educational events on Capitol Hill. The GAC took this opportunity to thank them for their support of public works and pledged to keep working toward a goal of funding for our nation’s infrastructure.

Before departing D.C., several GAC members had the opportunity to take a tour of the National Weather Service Headquarters (NWS) in Silver Spring, Maryland. The tour allowed for an inside view of how the NWS shares weather-related information with stakeholders at the local, state and federal levels. The NWS is an important resource for public works in being well prepared for dealing with weather.

Future engagements with the NWS are planned to continue building upon this important relationship.

Finally, as a personal observation, I believe the Government Affairs Committee and our Washington, D.C. staff are making a real impact in representing all APWA members to federal legislators and decision makers. All APWA members can make similar impacts at our states’ houses, county offices, and with our own city councils and boards. This is my sixth year serving on the GAC, and it has been my honor to serve as the Chair for the past three years. I have learned so much about the workings of our government and had the opportunity to meet many dedicated professionals. As I look for my next opportunity to serve APWA in some capacity, I urge all our members to become active and make your voices heard!

RECOGNIZE YOUR LEADERS

Turning complicated road reconstruction into award-winning performance

I

n this month’s “Recognize Your Leaders,” we spotlight Assistant Streets Superintendent Destin Goins, of Columbia, South Carolina’s Street Division. He has been in both that position and in public works for eight years. Destin’s leadership and management skills were vital to the success of a 12-week road reconstruction project achieved with remarkable results under less than optimum circumstances—as you will soon understand.

What do you get when you take one of the busiest municipal streets, populated by a bustling shopping mall and merchants, as well as dense residential development, a busy shopping season and add a major resurfacing project? Many thoughts probably come to mind, but the term “award-winning delivery” probably wasn’t at the top of the list. Yet that’s exactly what happened with the City of Columbia, South Carolina’s Columbiana Drive Reconstruction Project, managed by the City of Columbia Street Division’s Destin Goins.

According to South Carolina Asphalt Paving Association, the Project Delivery Award highlights “projects that were completed in a timely and efficient manner, and the owner/agency was extremely pleased with the expedited delivery of the project.” These projects typically are completed ahead of schedule, constructed with minimal traffic delay or congestion. Additionally, the surrounding businesses and homeowners appreciate the partnering efforts of the contractor and owner to ensure exceptional delivery of the projects.

Destin Goins

Destin said, first and foremost, the City’s goal was to complete the project safely without impacting the local economy. To accomplish that, the City worked closely with the

businesses along Columbiana. They set up a preconstruction meeting with local business owners and managers to go over project details and answer any questions. The meeting was held at a movie theater located along the road so folks could attend easily with minimal time away.

The City gathered e-mail addresses of those who attended the meeting and other interested parties. Then, on a weekly basis, the City sent an e-mail that provided an overview of work that happened each week and what was planned to be done in the following week. To cover all bases, the City also distributed weekly updates via social media and traditional media.

Given the high volume of traffic and varying needs of the community, the City determined that a nighttime paving schedule would work best for the project. Operations took place from 10:00 p.m. to 6:30 a.m., which presented its own series of challenges—such as limited lighting, limited availability of utility contacts and other limited resources.

“We promised the public the roadway would be open from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. every day during construction,” said Destin. “That required us to use expert planning to ensure that all equipment was out of the roadway and an acceptable driving surface was placed in time. Some of the planning was long term and days ahead; other times we had to make decisions on the spot.”

According to Destin, nearly all challenges were related to the overnight schedule.

“Because we were working outside of traditional work hours, utilities were not always immediately available when we faced issues. As a result, there were several near unavoidable occasions when communication lines and water lines were cut during the reclamation process,” said Destin. “We ended up with on-call employees on speed dial throughout the project.”

Destin is quick to add that he didn’t do it alone, but instead had the full support of the public works department.

“Our entire public works department played a role in this project,” Destin said. “Traffic engineering performed traffic studies and provided the controlled intersection layouts prior to beginning work. Our public works project manager collected quantity data for the roadway, including marking layouts. Our ‘PIO-savvy’ recycling coordinator helped notify the public before beginning the work and engaged them throughout the process.”

When asked what lessons he learned during the project, Destin cited the importance of planning and communications.

“This project not only met our goals for quality and timeliness, but also allowed me and other staff members to grow through experience,” he said. “I learned that planning cannot be stressed enough for a project of this magnitude.”

“The targeted communications helped us get valuable feedback and earn the trust of the citizens and local businesses,” said Destin. “Hopefully, the taxpayers also saw it as a good return on their investment.”

A simple definition of leadership is that leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal. Many times we find ourselves thinking of leaders being only at the top of an organization. Not so.

Leaders are found at all levels within our public works organizations. Most often, they are anonymous; they are simply doing their jobs and yet, their actions impact many.

Look around your organization and find someone to recognize for a specific project they have done. It could be your manager, first-line supervisor, assistant, or janitor. Submit the name of the individual and a brief summary of the project you would like to recognize them for to Deanne Cross at dcross@apwa.net.

All submissions will be reviewed by members of the Leadership & Management Committee. Those individuals selected will be recognized in a future issue of the APWA Reporter.

This teamwork laid the framework for a successful project and resulted in a high rate of approval from the Columbiana community. www.apwa.net

IMAGINATION TO INNOVATION

Learning from spiders

e have looked previously at the remarkable characteristics of spider silk which have excited researchers: the ability of single strands to stretch 25% to 40% beyond their original length before they break, breaking force comparable to that of high-strength steel but with about one-sixth the weight and several times the toughness (ability to absorb energy before fracturing).

Attempts to domesticate spiders and produce silk in large quantities have not been promising, to say the least, motivating researchers to turn their attention to bioengineering alternatives, including goats genetically modified to produce the filament of a Golden Orb spider along with milk. That method has so far not proven to be commercially viable.

Other strategies may be more successful. A firm in Michigan is reported to be poised to work with Vietnamese silkworm farms to produce large quantities of a combination spider-and-silkworm silk that could be used in military ballistics protection.

Others have had some success using modified e. coli bacteria to produce proteins that have been used in skincare products and medical applications.

A firm based in California may be the first to bring spider silk to the marketplace, using yeast to produce spider silk proteins that are spun into thread and woven into clothing such as men’s ties and wool-blend winter hats, but without much impact on the 2017 holiday shopping season.

One breakthrough for all such efforts has been developing ways to work with the protein molecules in waterbased solutions, avoiding toxic and

/

www.apwa.net

expensive chemicals in production and fabrication processes. The spider silk protein molecules are quite large, nearly twice the size of proteins typically found in humans. While the size is important to the material’s mechanical properties, it makes their production in engineered organisms more difficult.

A more recent avenue of research involves using spider dragline silk (the kind that spiders use to ride the wind from place to place) to monitor air flow at very small scales.

Inspired by the sensory abilities of certain mosquitos, spiders, and other arthropods, U.S. university researchers undertook to measure the vibrations of spider silk strands responding to the air currents caused by sound from a loudspeaker. (At 500 nanometers, the diameter of the spider silk strand is about 1/200th the size of a human hair.) The researchers found that the motion of the silk strand accurately tracked the air velocity over a wide range of sound frequencies, for both transient and periodic air flows. The researchers experimented also with ways of converting the silk vibrations to electrical currents, pointing the way toward production of very sensitive and small air-flow sensors that could have a wide range of applications.

Despite such achievements, I doubt that my teenaged daughter will be any more appreciative of spiders in the house.

I set the room temperature at 25 Fahrenheit, took a block of ice about six inches thick and one foot square, and placed a granule of rock salt on top of the block of ice. The granule was irregular in shape, and between one-eighth and one-fourth of an inch in diameter (very roughly; like most rock salt it was not spherical). We then examined that granule of rock salt every day for a week.

To demonstrate this point to some skeptical students, some years ago I conducted an experiment in the cold

Cold rooms tend to have very low humidity (at least in part because any high humidity will freeze up the coils

that make the room work) and anyway, rock salt is only very mildly hygroscopic (it does not draw moisture from the atmosphere) so that poor granule of salt had no moisture available to it to allow it to go into solution. The end result, after a week in the cold room sitting on the block of ice, was that no ice had melted. This was not any sort of defect in the rock salt—it needs moisture to work and I had deliberately (some might say cruelly) deprived it of moisture!

There are two important lessons to be drawn from this. The first relates to how salt works. In order for road salt to work it has to go into solution—in other words it must become salt brine.

So, if someone says to you that they are just fine with using road salt but they do not like this new-fangled brine thing, they are just being silly!

The second lesson we can draw from this builds upon the first. For salt to be effective, moisture must be present, and we can ensure that is the case by either adding liquid to the rock salt, or making a solution of the salt with water (i.e., a brine) and spreading that.

Adding liquid to road salt is a process known as pre-wetting. It is typically done by having liquid storage tanks on the truck (along with pumps to move the liquid) and then spraying that liquid onto the road salt either at the spinner of the truck or at the auger. Pre-wetting rates are typically in the 6 to 10 gallons of liquid per ton of road salt. The liquids used for prewetting are most often salt brine, but sometimes either a calcium chloride brine or a magnesium chloride brine can be used instead of salt brine. And as discussed in a previous toolbox, sometimes that liquid can be a blend of several of these things, along with a few other liquids too.

Some agencies pre-wet their road salt by spraying liquid onto the load of salt in the back of the truck (typically by driving the truck under some sort of shower system). Certainly, applying a liquid to your road salt in this way is

better than not applying a liquid to it at all, but it is a less than ideal approach, since it does not apply the liquid to the salt uniformly. Another method which does apply the liquid uniformly is to treat the salt in the stockpile. This is typically done by mixing the salt with the liquid using a pug mill or equivalent. Some agencies do this mixing themselves, while others will contract with a supplier of the liquid to do this treatment for them. This method does provide a very uniform application rate of liquid onto the salt, but the rates of liquid application are typically lower than what can be achieved on the truck, because if too much liquid is applied in the stockpile, it simply leaches out of the bottom of the pile.

I mentioned that typically pre-wet application rates are in the range of 6 to 10 gallons per ton, but some agencies are experimenting with using much higher application rates, of up to 70 gallons per ton or even higher.

This creates a slurry of salt coming out of the back of the truck, which can be extremely effective in the right circumstances. While the use of slurries is still experimental, one thing which is far from being so is the key benefit we get from pre-wetting in addition to enabling the salt to start going into solution right away. By pre-wetting salt on the truck we reduce salt losses due to bounce and scatter by up to 30%. Put another way, if you apply salt without pre-wetting it, as much as 30% of the salt applied bounces straight into the ditch. Given that our goal is to use the right amount of salt, and to put that salt in the right place and to keep it there, reducing bounce and scatter so effectively is an extremely worthwhile thing to do.

Instead of (or as well as) pre-wetting our salt, we can also use a technique known as direct liquid application (or DLA).

In this process, we use a brine maker to mix our road salt with water to create a 23.3% solution of salt brine (this is the solution that has the most melting potential; you may also hear it referred to as the eutectic concentration). This brine is then applied to roads prior to www.apwa.net

a storm, to create a barrier on the road surface so that the first snow that falls cannot immediately freeze to the road.

Application rates for such anti-icing treatments range from 30 to 50 gallons per lane mile for salt brine, and somewhat less if either calcium chloride or magnesium chloride brines are being used. Anti-icing is an extremely effective technique to use but requires a bit more consideration than part of one column, so we will return to this issue in a subsequent column.

If you are using road salt you are already using liquids.

The bottom line for this column is that if you are using road salt you are already using liquids in your winter maintenance. There are ways of using the liquids that are extremely effective and efficient, so if at present you are not using liquids directly, either by pre-wetting salt on the truck or by direct liquid application, you should give some thought about how you could adjust your operational methods to allow you to make use of this very versatile winter maintenance tool.

LEADING FROM THE FRONTLINES

Be in charge of your story Jonathan Gano, P.E. Director of Public Works City of Des Moines, Iowa Member, APWA Leadership & Management Committee

"A

gency,” in our common parlance, is where many of us work. We work in public works departments across the country and Canada in the offices and work sheds and garages of these agencies. Our neighboring colleagues work at our sister agencies and we combine our efforts for mutual benefit in metro-wide agencies. We are regulated by state agencies enforcing mandates from federal agencies. We abound with agencies.

But, in many of our agencies, we and our fellow leaders suffer from a lack of our own agency. Not the organizational kind of agency, but the more personal and philosophical kind.

We use this word so readily in describing our workplaces that we often forget there’s more than one use for it. In organizational terms, agency is how we collectivize our efforts. The use of the word in social science terms, though, is centered on one individual’s ability to act; it’s our capacity to make choices.

Do you have agency in your own agency? Are you determining your own story? Are you effecting change or is change happening to you?

Any session around the watercooler in most workplaces will frequently

be filled with grousing about all of those things over which we have no control—an unreasonable manager, irate citizens or customers, unrealistic demands—instead of finding ways to do what we can about something that is in our control.

Take charge of your story and act with agency.

To borrow a phrase from the military— when you’re in charge, take charge. In any military unit, someone always is in charge. There are rules pre-established to determine who that is, through rank and experience. In combat, that can quickly change and a lowly soldier can suddenly find him or herself in charge of a group of peers looking for guidance and direction. Someone must lead. When in charge, take charge.

If you look around a meeting room to see who’s in charge and can’t find the leader, chances are it’s you. And, even if it’s not, who will really mind if you take charge? Even informal leadership is better than a leadership vacuum. We’ve all been in meetings like that before.

For that which you are responsible, be responsible. You are a leader in your work group, so lead. You may not be responsible for much, but for what you do have authority over—use it. Make

decisions and execute your plans. Do good work and plan for what’s coming next. You are a professional engaged in service to the public, so put those skills to work.

ing pronouncements from on high is easier than charting a course and securing the resources (and, yes, political support) to bring it to fruition.

If you are in charge, do stuff. Act with a sense of urgency.

“Move fast and break things” was the memorable motto at Facebook for many years. Okay, don’t actually break things.

Even Facebook moderated that motto to “move fast with stable infra.” Decidedly less fun to say but something that doesn’t reward recklessness.

Just because some things move at a glacial pace doesn’t mean everything else does, too. If we are not careful, it is too easy to descend into the torpor of being cautious functionaries, pallid experts, and colorless leaders who think overly carefully about every word.

Take charge of what is yours and make it your own. No one else will do it for you so stop waiting for the stars to line up.

Stop waiting for the perfect knowledge of possible outcomes.

There will always be one more piece of information that would be helpful to make a better decision but don’t let perfect become the enemy of the good; it’s usually just a way to avoid making a decision, anyway.

Why is the pace of change so slow in government? We are all so concerned about what others will think and no one ever wants to be wrong. Remember the information technology joke about no one ever getting fired for recommending Windows. Analysis paralysis is a real thing and playing it safe too easy.

Particularly in the municipal service, it is all too common to let political entropy control the pace of events. Await-

Instead, build some urgency into your day, into your weeks, into your programs. Get results, now. Find those things that are uniquely within your bailiwick and do them. Start with small things to build some momentum and check off some boxes before tackling big ones.

In many of our workplaces, each of us could use more agency and urgency in the undertaking of our personal endeavors.

We spend an awful lot of time at work to not get the best out of it. Our time isn’t just owed in service to our public or our employer—we’re not just trading time for dollars.

Making your work work for you is a key element of satisfaction. Acting with both agency and urgency will put you in charge of your story.

The patchwork quilt of emergency response and resiliency: Mexico’s earthquakes

hile there is no dearth of comforts in a modern urban setting, there is a cost associated with these comforts. The necessary sacrifice of simplicity required to maintain the Western standard of living in an urban, diverse area has led to a virtual marble cake (Hooghe & Marks, 2003) of governance. With an impressive array of overlapping governments, it can be difficult to parse out the efficiency of the services provided, and ensure that parties with overlapping missions are communicating and sharing information and resources in a way that maximizes the public investment in these services (Christensen & Hogen-Esch, 2006).

There is a tendency to criticize complexity that one does not intimately understand. Often, when confronted with the pressures that have led to the configuration of a system or network, and asked to analyze them, people are surprised to find how efficient the evolved structures actually are. The patchwork quilt of overlapping government structures can be the only way to achieve the best possible response to emergency situations. Public works, with its inherent ability to efficiently deal with short-term challenges without losing sight of the long-term needs that will lead to a more resilient system, is truly the thread that permeates the entire quilt.

Mexico has experienced a real test of its emergency response systems, as the country is reeling from a series of powerful earthquakes that have done extensive damage around the country, including in the capital, Mexico City.

In 1985 an 8-magnitude quake caused thousands of deaths in Mexico City and resulted in extensive structural damage. In the years since the 1985 quake, Mexico’s public works officials have taken many steps to build a more resilient city.

In November, ICLEI Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, APWA’s partner in Latin America, held their XV International Congress in conjunction with their VII Public Works and Services Conference in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Resiliency was a large focus

at the event, especially as the country deals with the aftermath of another large quake which occurred on September 7, 2017, again affecting the capital.

At the conference presentations were given by a variety of organizations responsible for some portion of emergency response: local, state, federal, private, and military. A recurring theme was the imperative nature of establishing processes for regular, appropriate-level communication between all of the responding entities.

Each group, with their specific area of expertise, and unique assets, could, when working in concert with the others, assure that the needs presented by any given event could be met in the most efficient way possible. However, one cannot wait until the ground starts

shaking to establish these lines of communication, inventory of assets, and a plan for deployment.

There was broad interest in the presentation facilitated by APWA on public works-specific NIMS training, which was developed through a collaboration between APWA and FEMA/Emergency Management Institute (EMI).

Our Technical Committees have done wonderful work on many fronts, and the ability to share our successes, and learn from our peers internationally, is what makes APWA’s international involvement a powerful tool for curating and disseminating the best ideas in public works.

A good understanding of the overlapping organizations involved in emerwww.apwa.net

Bringing the darkness of space to light Jeff Benson Engineering Technician II City of Rancho Mirage, California

F

ine-tuning of details such as light and vibration becomes a cosmic concern when engineering a research-level observatory for public use, with a telescope capable of peering millions of miles into space.

Many of the designers of the world’s most iconic observatories, such as Southern California’s Griffith Park and Palomar facilities, have sought the refuge of nearby hilltops to help limit these factors.

Things are being done a little differently in the desert community of Rancho Mirage, Calif., a two-hour drive east of Los Angeles, where the new Rancho Mirage Observatory recently opened for public use. Instead of being built at a higher altitude and away from the glare of city lights, the Coachella Valley’s first public observatory was built at 240 feet above sea level, a mere moonwalk from the city’s busiest street and award-winning public library.

The new observatory building has all the amenities of a modern research-level facility and offers a direct interface between its telescope and the public. It includes a two-story observatory/

maintenance room, 22-foot cylindrical dome, “Cosmic Office” for astronomers, ADA-compliant aerial walkway, exhibit deck, and restroom. The building was fabricated with imported Brazilian ipe wood, tile, and other durable and weather-resistant materials. Observation windows with dimmable suspended particle display glass and tailored lighting effects enhance the building’s interior appeal while keeping the telescope room dark and functional. The building’s exterior was designed with a corten steel veneer around the dome structure to preserve a visual element that’s consistent with the library and surrounding community.

The observatory’s centerpiece is a 0.7-meter PlaneWave CDK 700 telescope, the same model used by California Institute of Technology researchers in their efforts to discover Earth-like planets in orbits around nearby stars. Rancho Mirage enlisted the help of Dan McKenna, Superintendent of Cal Tech’s Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, to assist with project planning. McKenna recommended the PlaneWave telescope model due to its research quality and high instructive value. www.apwa.net

Rancho Mirage’s first space-related mission, designed by Narkweather Architects, Inc. and constructed by Sea West Enterprises, Inc., was not intended to compete with much larger and more technically advanced facilities such as Cal Tech, but rather to construct an observatory that would be usable by the entire public, from armchair astronomers to aspiring astrophysicists.

Visitors are also encouraged to bring their own telescopes, where they can plug into one of four “telescope pads” that serve as ethernet ports broadcasting images and data to the observatory’s interior. Four computer workstations will allow users to operate their telescopes from inside the observatory. Their images can be live-streamed, via fiber optic cable, to monitors in the library’s Community Room where they can be seen by larger groups, including family and friends.

Celestial events such as eclipses and comet sightings suddenly have the potential to turn into stellar viewing parties.

The observatory’s public interface is easily accessible in the same way that a nearby resident might be able to walk

to the library next door and check out a book. Only now, the library’s daytime visitors will be able to view actual images of planets, moons, and galaxies that were taken the previous night.

City staff anticipates this marriage of science and aesthetics will eventually extend to the local colleges and universities that may soon offer programs geared toward astronomy. The main telescope’s images will be viewable by all levels, including the visiting public and school and group tours, through a special eyepiece that will make images viewable on a computer screen in the observatory room. Astronomers will be able to operate the main telescope for technical research.

The idea for an observatory began with one of Rancho Mirage’s residents, who quickly received the backing and support of city leadership. Rancho Mirage’s City Council initially entertained the idea of constructing the observatory in the nearby Santa Rosa Mountains but wished to keep the facility closer and more accessible to local residents.

The project’s main challenge was to design and engineer a facility that made the best use of the project’s location while minimizing light, vibration, and heat imbalance—the factors that could most greatly affect image quality. For starters, this meant eliminating as much ambient light as possible. City www.apwa.net

staff outfitted nearby streetlights with collars aiming the lighting downward and turned these lights down to their lowest setting. Louver-style covers were placed over nearby traffic signal lights.

Some of the library’s parking lot lighting will also be turned off during prime viewing times.

The surrounding environment helps support the observatory’s efforts to reduce light and vibration. The Coachella Valley usually has clear skies and receives an average rainfall of only six inches per year, which maximizes the number of days the telescope can be used effectively. The observatory is framed by the mountains on one side and is set back 200 feet from the

The telescope must be kept at a temperature consistent with the outside air temperatures or risk image distortion. However, summer temperatures in Rancho Mirage swell to more than 120 degrees during the day and more than 100 degrees at night, so there can be distinct differences between ambient temperatures inside and outside

the dome. To equalize the air temperatures, an exhaust system will siphon outside air through the dome roof and wash it over the telescope, producing the cleanest, smoothest image possible.

An outdoor weather station acts as a kill switch that shuts the dome roof in the event of heavy winds or rain.

street. The other side of the building rests on 20-foot-deep reinforced concrete supports above the bank of the Whitewater River Channel wash that acts as a quarter-mile lighting buffer between the observatory and the residences to the north. It also helps that the telescope’s lens rests 25 feet in the air, sheltered by the dark dome structure, and is directed toward the night sky.

Vibrations caused by motorists in a city environment could have the potential to distort images that require a high level of accuracy. The telescope is supported on an isolated concrete column and footing to improve stability and eliminate vibration.

Bringing back the stars over Strathcona County

I

n July 2010, adding to its previous efforts and achievements, Strathcona County became the first community in Alberta to endorse a Light Efficient Community policy.

The “Light Efficient Community” approach to lighting the nighttime environment parallels ongoing efforts by the Beaver Hills Initiative, Strathcona Wilderness Centre and the Beaver Hills Dark Sky Preserve to protect and conserve unique areas in and around Strathcona County.

As part of the policy implementation process, it published a community handbook to inform Strathcona County citizens about the best residential lighting practices for the community, and to introduce the new, locally developed policy. The handbook aims to assist both rural and urban citizens with their choices in nighttime lighting, thus conserving natural dark skies and enhancing the liveability of the community.

New Zealand’s Dark Sky Reserve

I

n the heart of the South Island the sky is so clear and vast that millions of stars seem to appear right before your eyes. Unique to the Mackenzie Region, the clear skies found in this part of the world are like nothing else in New Zealand. Very limited light pollution means the views of the night sky seem to stretch on as far as the eye can see.

In 2012, the 4,300-square-kilometer area was declared the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, with light pollution strictly controlled in the area. It is the only one of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, and one of only eight in the world. Within this reserve is New Zealand’s premier astronomical research center, the Mount John Observatory, situated on the edge of Lake Tekapo township.

In order to protect this asset, Mackenzie District Council has had controls on outdoor lighting in place since 2000. This has meant working closely with the observatory to source streetlights that meet their requirements and allow sufficient light to allow for safe walking around Tekapo.

Council cooperated closely with developers and lighting suppliers to develop a special bollard that currently uses a low-pressure sodium luminaire for use in all new subdivisions. This provides the opportunity for all residents to appreciate the natural beauty of the night sky from their own property.

Light your field: a public/private partnership gets it done David J. Pinsonneault, CSFM, CPRP DPW Director Town of Lexington, Massachusetts Member, APWA Facilities & Grounds Committee

L

ike many other communities the athletic fields in Lexington, Mass., are at full capacity with no relief in sight. Youth sports continue to grow in participation and the demand for field space is becoming more difficult to manage without compromising safety of the play surface. With this in mind the youth groups, especially youth soccer, approached the Town to discuss possible solutions to the space issue. Soluwww.apwa.net

tions looked at were acquiring more land for athletic field development, partnering with private institutions to share field space, and realigning existing fields to accommodate more activities. After careful review, none of these options was viable for the immediate future. Lexington Youth Soccer then approached the Town about the possibility of adding lights to one of the synthetic fields at Lincoln Park. This was easier said than done.

Proposed lighting layout on Field #2

The Lexington Recreation Department and DPW were willing to entertain this proposal but many challenges had to first be addressed. When Lincoln Park was reconstructed in 2003, which included the installation of three fullsize synthetic soccer fields, there was a verbal agreement that the lights would not be considered for this site. Other challenges were that the site is on an old landfill and public funding was not available. This did not deter the youth soccer organization and a work group was formed with DPW and Recreation to vet the issues and develop a proposal for the Board of Selectmen (BOS) to consider. This process began in October 2014. After consultation with the Recreation Committee and the BOS it was decided to pursue this as a private project with oversight by the Town, which if successful would be gifted to

Installed lights

the Town once construction was complete. It was further decided that Field #2 would be the logical choice to be lit based on use and proximity to abutters.

Youth Soccer formed the “Friends of Lincoln Lights� to promote the project and solicit donations.

The first step was to hold a series of public meetings with the abutters to discuss the project. The Friends Group did a very good job of identifying the www.apwa.net

need and that they were sensitive to light pollution and extended hours of use at the site. With general support from the neighbors, DPW and the Recreation Department, the Friends group consulted with Musco Lighting and hired Sandborn Head Engineering to put together a construction plan.

This plan was presented to the Recreation Committee which approved it in December 2015 and to the BOS which approved it March 2016.

With neighborhood buy-in and approvals from the governing boards and committees the project faced the next hurdle of constructing the lights over an old landfill. Sandborn Head and the DPW Engineering Division were instrumental in working with the Department of Environmental protection, the Lexington Conservation Commission and the Lexington Building and Electrical Inspectors offices to develop spread footings that would safely accommodate the four light poles, a materials storage and use plan, an electrical plan and a site restoration plan. Another consideration was using LED technology for the lights, but after a full analysis it was determined that the Musco Green System provided good energy efficiency and a better return, and that was the product chosen. Heimlich Construction, a local contractor familiar with athletic fields and the Musco Lighting System, was chosen as the general site contractor for the light installation.

Construction began in March 2017.

Lexington Youth Soccer, Lexington Youth Lacrosse, DPW and the Recreation Department worked together to reschedule spring and summer events so that the construction could take place. The field was shut down from March to August and it was challenging but all involved kept working towards the end goal of lighting the field. There were some delays waiting for permits and delivery of the lights, but the project remained on target with no major issues.

As the lights were being constructed the issue of gifting them to the Town needed to be addressed. Lexington’s Legal Counsel and the Friends Group worked together to develop an agreement that would gift the lights to the Town for all to enjoy. The ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on September 10, 2017 with soccer clinics, food trucks, thank-you speeches and exhibition soccer games.

It was a proud moment for the Town of Lexington to see a successful public/private partnership.

The total project cost was approximately $500,000 and included some in-kind services (landscaping, engineering, etc.) from DPW and Recreation. The majority of the funding came from the soccer group and donors. Over 22 businesses and organizations and many citizens donated to the project to make it happen. Based on the success of this project there have been suggestions to light one of the other fields at Lincoln Park. The lights are on until 8:30 p.m. which has added up to four hours of play on the field in the winter and early spring months.

The dedication and hard work of the volunteers and the willingness of the DPW and Recreation Departments to move the project forward resulted in a win-win for the community.

As public works agencies take on more and more duties and responsibilities, procurement remains to be the key component to be able to address issues, improve infrastructure, respond to emergencies, and ensure that the public remains safe.

PROCUREMENT CHALLENGES Andrew Lafferty Director of Public Works Town of North Reading, Massachusetts Member, APWA Facilities & Grounds Committee

W

e all face some sort of procurement regulations, whether it’s at the federal, state or local level. We all are aware of how the procurement challenges tend to take the simplest project and turn it into a time-consuming task. Supplies, services, and construction are necessary for all of us to properly manage our facilities, grounds and the wide variety of infrastructure we are responsible for.

Some of the many challenges municipal officials face include knowing state and local requirements for procurement; in our case, Massachusetts General Law. Like many communities across the country, staffing of a procurement department may be minimal or non-existent, but public works still needs to procure supplies and services and follow local and state laws. The details of many procurement laws and regulations can be overwhelming unless you have spent time learning them or have a subject matter expert at your disposal. In addition, many good local and regional contractors or vendors may not know how to get a bid or quote in or what rules to follow, thereby limiting their potential pool of skilled vendors.

There are a variety of ways to solve some of these challenges within your department. Many state and regional governments offer training courses. These courses can give you or your staff a “leg up” and prevent some frustration by reducing the errors or potential pitfalls of improperly procuring supplies or services, in addition to the significant time required if a vendor fields a formal bid protest. The time spent answering and possibly defending a bid protest surely outweighs the benefits of having trained a staff member.

This is time and money well invested for the department and the community.

Another helpful way to procure supplies and services is working regionally with a cooperative or consortium bid.

Most states allow for the use of these “group”-type bid procurements. Regional organizations can get multiple communities or agencies together that procure similar supplies and services. There is a significant time saver to this since usually one entity is responsible for handling the administrative portion of the work, while the other communities may only need a small effort to ensure their requests for the contract are included. Not only does this improve efficiency of labor www.apwa.net

but there is usually a decrease in the cost of supplies or services by pooling your requests. Vendors can usually provide better pricing and reduced delivery costs.

Larger procurement organizations include state contracting agencies or national contracting agencies. Many states offer statewide contracting services, like Massachusetts, through their Operation Services Division (OSD). OSD-type agencies provide many communities with an avenue to procure services without having to put in the overwhelming effort of creating and reviewing bids and awarding a bid. This is sometimes a daunting task for smaller communities and departments without a procurement official. These services include everything from carpentry, electrical to general contracting to GIS services. Likewise, there are numerous national agencies like NJPA and U.S. Communities that host a large variety of contracts that are accepted for use in a lot of states, although you may need to verify with your legal counsel to ensure their procurement process meets your state or local requirements.

Even with hitting all the marks with the challenges of procuring services, sometimes vendors or contractors are not willing or able to submit bids for a variety of reasons. One way to help expand the competition and benefit your bottom line is to proactively communicate to potential bidders of the opportunity in advance. State and local procurement usually requires advertising in local papers, state websites

or bulletins and other regional sources. Sometimes these sources are not readily sought out by all qualified contractors. Sending out notifications informing potential bidders of a potential bidding opportunity can help increase competition. Some local areas may have certain restrictions so verifying with legal counsel is recommended. Potential bidders can also provide feedback during or after the bid explaining why they did or not bid, or how the bid could be handled in the future to better suit both the municipality and the contractor.

As public works agencies take on more and more duties and responsibilities, procurement remains to be the key component to be able to address issues, improve infrastructure, respond to emergencies, and ensure that the public remains safe. The challenges associated with procuring goods and services can significantly impact a department’s ability to “complete the mission.” Investing in training your staff and ensuring procurement requirements are addressed in a timely fashion can take a lot of stress off a department when the time comes. Preparing in advance is the key to successful procurement, thereby giving you and your staff the means to respond as needed and having a responsive public works department.

Historic building preservation costs strain municipal budgets Julie Spurr Knight Building Superintendent Town of North Reading, Massachusetts

I

t is no secret that the northeast territory of the United States is rich with structures of early nineteenth century architectural design. Craftsmen from the 1800s used local timber, slate and stone to erect structures of grand significance. Government buildings in support of civic, penal and educational stature were built. Many of these grand designs continue to operate today funded by municipal and state budgets. Sadly, several New England historic structures have met their demise due to lack of maintenance and funding. Communities are experiencing a significant amount of growth in population which places

heavy demands on municipal infrastructure. Over one hundred years of environmental change is having a major impact on facilities maintenance budgets. Historic embellishments of soaring stairwells, massive archways and singlepane glass leave a lasting impression on visitors; however, they also make for grand energy bills. There is ultimately no money left in maintenance budgets to fund expensive building preservation projects.

North Reading Center Village Historic District

adorned with a mansard slate roof, oversized windows and grand entryways: Harriett N. Flint purchased the land and erected a war memorial dedicated to the memory of her late husband, Charles F. Flint, which she presented as a “free gift” to the town in 1875. The building was designed to be an income-producing Town House with space allotted to the Flint Memorial Library that Mrs. Flint had established in 1872. (Eaton, 250th Anniversary of Ancient Redding, Reading, Mass., 1896 Middlesex Registry of Deeds and Probate North Reading Town Reports) The Flint Memorial building has a recommended maintenance plan to prime, paint and caulk the exterior clapboards every five to eight years. Yikes, that is a hefty expense for any maintenance budget to absorb, especially in consideration of the 7,500 square feet of hardwood clapboard that covers the exterior of the North Reading Flint Memorial Library building. Research of alternative siding materials reveals several long-term maintenance pitfalls. Shrinkage, cracks, fading, discoloration and mold are evident on building projects that opted to strip off hardwoods and replace with alternative materials such as fiber cement board, aluminum and composite materials. Though many of the alternatives boast lower maintenance costs, the materials desecrate the historic look of the building.

Groups like the North Reading Historic District Commission weigh in on the best materials that will preserve the historic integrity of old buildings like the Flint Memorial Library.

Historic perseveration groups make a valid argument in support of the protection of historic architecture. It’s not only a protection for the buildings but a governance of historic significance: 68

Throughout Massachusetts, cities and towns face the needless destruction of their treasured historic resources. Village centers, neighborhoods and downtowns are often not very well protected, and through demolitions and insensitive alterations can easily disappear. However, many cities and towns in Massachusetts have taken steps to better protect their historic resources by establishing a Historic District, provided for by Massachusetts General Law. (North Reading Historic District Commission Design Guidelines, 2008, p2) Facilities managers have their crosses to bear in the development of capital budgets. Consideration of long-term environmental change is critically important to sustain municipal budgets. Will the equipment offer longevity and efficiencies while maintaining historic value? Time-consuming as it may be, as ambassadors of public funds it should be part of every facility manager’s charge to implement building systems that won’t leave future generations in a financial lurch. Finding new ways to balance maintenance and capital budgets requires managers to think outside the box, research new technologies vs. old, and work collaboratively with community organizations.

Many energy-efficient options have entered the market to offset building preservation costs. Though the continuous upkeep of historic materials is costly, municipalities should look to the reduction of energy consumption to balance budgets. A variety of products related to LED lighting, water conservation, window glass replacement, insulation and HVAC controls are available and will result in a quick return on investment. Most utility service providers offer both residential and commercial energy-saving programs from equipment rebates to peak shedding opportunities. Immedi-

ate drops in energy consumption result in instant savings on energy bills. This type of savings will assist in the reallocation of funds that could be used for preservation efforts.

State-funded grants are another avenue to reduce the cost of historic building preservation. Though the grant process is complex and lengthy to work through, funds are available to assist in preservation projects related to single-pane glass replacement, slate roof replacement and building restoration projects. This type of funding is highly competitive due to a limited amount of funds. Planning, attention to specifics, and meeting deadlines are critical elements of obtaining grant funding.

Every siding material has a maintenance cost. In comparison to hardwood siding, fiber cement board exhibits several positive maintenance features: fire retardant, bug resistance, and it is painted less frequently. Facilities managers need to fully vet materials prior to backing costly building replacement projects. What are the long-term implications of using specific products and will the material preserve historic integrity? Will today’s manufactured materials perform as well as the materials used in yesteryear, such as cedar clapboard? It is possible that early nineteenth century builders knew a thing or two about structural design. Research reveals that manufactured materials are not maintenance free. All

building materials have long-term maintenance costs. Over the course of history environmental change is the largest variable in efforts to forecast the long-term capital needs of historic buildings.

Cedar clapboard has proven to last over one hundred years, when properly maintained. One hundred years from now the Flint Memorial Library will continue to stand in its grand elegance if the town opts to protect history. War memorials, monuments, historic buildings and old burial grounds are located in the trajectory of the course of history. It is the responsibility of the current generation to pass on wellmaintained structures, with energy-efficient systems and the history that goes along with it. Climate and societal change are a real threat to future generations. Municipalities have a responsibility to implement sustainable programs that will support environmental change. Wouldn’t it be great if one hundred years from now people say the managers of past generations knew a thing or two about sustainability?

Protecting our greatest assets: the new norm Gary Rank, Facilities Manager, City of West Des Moines, Iowa; Member APWA Facilities & Grounds Committee

A

s I sat down to put this article together, I had just completed a search of how many active shooter situations involving four or more victims that had happened in the United States in 2017.

The total was 307. How many of these made the evening or national news? I didn’t think the total would have been nearly that large. Do they not make the headlines due to the small number of victims? Has our society become desensitized to this? I asked myself a number of these kinds of questions when writing this. How will it be received by the reader? Who really is doing actual employee training that contains value?

Not a Powerpoint™ or a safety talk, but true training. Do all agencies understand that one of the greatest assets they have are the employees? What do we do when an employee states they no longer feel safe working in the facili70

ties they work in? We can’t ignore this; it will have to be dealt with. I know what some of you are thinking, that we all take inherent risks when we do anything, even going to work. However, most of you who are reading this are not the frontline employees who will be speaking with the person who is angry about a parking ticket or a disconnect of their domestic water. It is as much our responsibility to protect our employees as it is to service the citizens.

So where do we begin creating a safe environment for our staff and the citizens who use our facilities every day? It starts with facility safety assessments.

Some of the items that may come to light during the assessment phase may include building alterations. This could be anything from steel mesh doors to camera systems to ballistic coatings on doors and window glass. Many don’t have access to new facilities to accomwww.apwa.net

modate this threat, which means retrofitting our older buildings to create this safe environment. If the building happens to be a county courthouse, as an example, with years of historic value, how do you make these modern changes to the building and yet keep its historical design? These and many questions remain to be answered, as we all at some point will be doing at least some part of these measures. For years, most public buildings were built to be open and inviting to the public we serve, welcoming to those who use and work in them. The word for these buildings today would be undefendable. This would be from the open design that was welcoming, lots of glass, open hallways, unlocked doors, the list goes on. How do we go from the “open to the public” concept to controlled limited access doors, cameras for facial recognition, and remain

the facility of old? The simple answer is we don’t. We adapt to the current state of society and start planning on equipping our facilities with these active countermeasures to protect our employees and citizens.

I would highly recommend that either the FBI model or the Department of Homeland Security model be used.

When conducting your assessments involve your local law enforcement agencies. If you don’t feel that you or your staff are qualified to conduct the assessment, there are a number of reputable firms that are certified to conduct these assessments. You may still want to hire an outside specialist to conduct this, a completely different set of eyes on the facility and a different view of the objective.

building? Those questions were asked, and the answers were a combination of all three mentioned above. With this type of mind-set we are doomed and will fail in saving those lives.

I hope that the above information is enough to at least make you take pause and think about what you would do if this situation presents itself in your

city. Now is the time to begin to plan for this type of event and put measures in place to try and mitigate the damage as much as humanly possible. I know that this will create a financial burden for your agency, but ask yourself what happens if you do nothing.

PRO-RING MORE ECONOMICAL THAN CONCRETE ™

We have training on everything from fire alarms to hazardous materials in the workplace. In some parts of the United States, we also have tornado drills that are held in conjunction with our emergency management personnel. We have, since grade school, been trained on these types of events. I remember from my grade school days of having to have fire drill and tornado drill training, where to go, and what to do with some sense of order. In the case of an active shooter, where are the rally point or points?

What do we do if the shooter is an employee of the agency; would that change the rally points? I think that facility safety assessments and active shooter training go hand in hand, and they need to both be addressed with review and training. It should be done yearly at a minimum so that every agency trains for and reviews both. It is human nature to respond to how we are trained. If we train poorly, we will react poorly. Case in point: We had a true fire alarm trip in one of my facilities several months ago, horns, buzzers, and strobes all going off. There were still employees sitting at their stations working. Why were they sitting there?

Was it that the training was ineffective or did they not want to go outside, or did they feel it was a bother to leave the

hen the spring of 2016 began in Cumberland County, N.C., there was a certain aspect missing from the public grounds at the facilities throughout the county. The centipede and bermuda turf grass was starting to green up and come out of dormancy, the birds were singing their love songs to alert everyone that winter was finally over, the azaleas were beginning to bloom, as well as the dogwoods and Bradford pears, but most of the flowerbeds were missing that bright assortment of colors that one might typically find during a walk around the public grounds of the community www.apwa.net

where they live and work. Sure, there were plenty of evergreen shrubs and bushes in the flowerbeds, but nothing was there to accent them. In fact, there had not been any colorful accents throughout the county for at least the last decade.

As with all public works organizations, unforeseen events may arise from time to time that require essential decisions be made that can dictate budget cuts to certain programs. These informed decisions are what ensures the survival of the organization itself while also meeting the overall needs of the community it serves and protects. Nonetheless, the time had finally come to reintroduce

A few weeks later, an old planting chart was located that detailed the flowerbed placements for the county courthouse.

However, the planting chart was from 2004 and was for the old layout of the hardscaped flowerbeds that had since been removed during the last renovation of the courthouse plaza. So, it was back to square one for the reintroduction of annuals.

After some careful thought, some budgetary planning, and several discussions with the head of the County Engineering & Infrastructure Dept., Jeffery Brown, P.E., it was decided to focus on the high traffic areas where one might typically see a good number of citizens as well as employees on any given day during the week.

Being mid-April it was already too late in the year to install summer annuals, so the goal immediately became to plan for the upcoming fall. To begin, stacks upon stacks of written records were gone through in several old filing cabinets in hopes of finding at least some information concerning the prior floriculture program that once existed. The plan was to try and find documents or records reflecting any pertinent data such as planting sites, annual purchase receipts, quantities used, color placement schematics for the flowerbeds, pest management programs, fertilizer application records, irrigation charts, etc. It is imperative to mention here that transitioning from a written record system to a digital record system should be a goal for any public works office that might have an antiquated record keeping system still in place.

erties were identified as libraries, the Social Services facility, the Public Health building, and a few other high traffic areas within the county such as the Board of Elections, highlighted by the upcoming 2016 Presidential Election, as well as the new and historic courthouses located in the downtown area.

Planting sites were identified, color schematics determined, materials priced, and then pansies were ordered in the first week of August. Pansies have several characteristics that make them a great choice for a fall annual. “Pansies are a remarkable winter annual capable of surviving temperatures down to the single digits, freezing solid, then bouncing back with vigor when warm weather returns,” according to Gary L. 74

Wade and Thomas also write that “removing frost-damaged flowers and old, faded flowers should be a top priority with pansies.

given on the proper techniques for completing successful floriculture installations. In addition, some flowerbeds had to be dug up and replanted, and install crews required more consistent direct supervision which resulted in higher than anticipated man-hours per job site. Of note here is the fact that this information required adjusting the man-hours for future installs once staff experience increased and proper training was received.

Only a couple of the staff members within the division had prior experience installing annuals. For this reason, it started out as a challenge to effectively plan and time-manage job sites. At times, certain jobs were slowed down so that one-on-one training could be

Another factor that played a significant part in the slow progress during the first season of the annual program was the arrival and departure of Hurricane Matthew on Oct. 8-9 that year. Matthew left the region flooded in some areas along with tons of debris that

kept the entire staff preoccupied with helping in the cleanup efforts across the county. Needless to say, the learning curve was steep at first but gradually became a little more even keel as time went on and flowerbeds slowly started to come alive with yellow, purple, white and red pansy assortments across the county.

E-mails started coming in stating that people were thrilled about the new colors they were noticing on their way into work each day. “The pansy flower beds over here look amazing! Everyone loves them,” said Kim Barefoot, Operations Manager for the Dept. of Social Services.

Patricia Speicher, County Planning Manager, added, “We just want to make sure you know how much we appreci-

ate our flowers out front and just how proud we are of our building. Thank you and the crew so much, the flowers are absolutely beautiful!”

While on job sites, staff members were also occasionally stopped and thanked by various people throughout the county for installing the new flowers.

With each seasonal install since the first in the fall of 2016, the staff has continued to develop more hands-on experience and has learned from each mistake made. These learning opportunities have really helped improve operations by gradually reducing the man-hours required for each job site.

The reintroduction of annuals to the county turned out to be a great success

www.apwa.net

and the staff has continued to churn out new assortments of colors with each passing season that catch the eyes and appreciation of both citizens and county employees alike. Today, the floriculture program for the county is well underway, and they are now working in other ways to help improve the public facilities and grounds.

ent County, Delaware, is in a unique location to provide venues for outdoor sports. Lying less than 100 miles from Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, along with favorable year-round weather climate, makes the area ripe to capitalize on the need for youth sports fields to be used for tournaments as well as instructional camps.

ing followed by compacting and fine grading of the field area. Once the subsurface is graded, a geotextile fabric is installed over the compacted subgrade and covered with a stone base.

The Greater Kent Committee was searching for an economic development initiative to support and the project that evolved was the Kent County Regional Sports Complex, now known as DE Turf. The idea was simple, but challenging to execute, with complex issues of transportation, utility service and drainage, with innovative solutions. Beyond engineering, leadership was needed to navigate the project from feasibility study, through funding and construction.

Engineers improvised and developed an innovative solution that combined field turf performance with regulated stormwater management best practice. Instead of just providing a stone Figure 2 base, allowing runoff to seek the perimeter collector (see Figure 2) as is the historical application, we specified a two-inch stormwater sump (stone base) beneath a 1 x 12� panel drain.

Innovative Technique A 12-field athletic complex seems like a simple concept; wide-open spaces upon which children can play. As is often the case, concept is far easier than execution. The first challenge was the decision to make the fields synthetic turf. Assembling 12 fields together in one area presented a number of design issues, most notably drainage. Figure 1 shows the stages of construction beginning with rough grad76

The panel drain was then covered in the traditional 6-inch stone base (see Figure 3).

In addition, Figure 1 shows installation of turf and finished field, respectively.

Figure 3

This application allowed excessive rainfall to follow the panel drain to the perimeter pipe during heavy events, but during minor, typical rains, water passed through the perforated panel drain, into the sump, and eventually infiltrating into the soil below—an elegant solution to the problem of keeping fields dry and playable while conserving water resources locally and meeting regulatory requirements.

Public Perception At its core economic development is the monetary investment in a community. Most often that investment takes the form of construction. In the case of DE Turf, engineers presented drawings and appeared and represented the project before numerous public bodies including neighborhood information sessions, Board of Adjustment Hearings and www.apwa.net

Kent County Regional Planning Commission meetings. It was important to DE Turf that engineers be viewed as community leaders who not only design buildable projects but also design projects that contribute to long-term community vitality and quality of life.

Social, Economic, Sustainable Impact The community benefit gained by DE Turf will be significant and long-lasting. First, the project will provide for youth development for generations; not just as a sports facility but as a gathering place for families to spend sunny days with friends, learning the value of competition, effort and teamwork. Aside from the social impacts, DE Turf also provides economic impacts. By creating this regional sports complex, competitors and their families will visit central Delaware, staying in our hotels, eating in our restaurants and shopping in our stores. Sustainability of water resources is critical, and our engineers made possible the coexistence of

multiple athletic fields, which need to be dried and drained quickly, with localized infiltration of stormwater, which is recognized as a best practice under Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control regulations.

Our solution keeps water close to where it falls, just below grade, so play can continue on the surface. Recently, the project received the State of Delaware’s 2018 Urban Conservation Award.

Complexity The complexity of the DE Turf project stems from site selection. The project had the good fortune of being given the opportunity to build the complex on 85 acres of Kent County land. The site, however, introduced a number of complex issues including county land use policy, state transportation infrastructure, regional utility service, and federal waterway management. The chosen site for the sports complex was east of Route 1, designated by the Kent County ComprehenContinued on p. 80

sive plan as outside the growth zone. County officials need to be persuaded that the property was ideal for this type of development despite being outside the Growth Zone. The public policy politics surrounding this project were significant and navigating through them required our team to have knowledge and confidence. The area was also adjacent to a significant DelDOT project: The South Frederica Grade Separated Intersection (see Figure 4).

Originally, DelDOT dictated that the sports complex construction would have to wait until after the interchange was completed. Engineers advocated on behalf of their client to convince DelDOT that the economic benefit of this project was profound and required immediate action. We were able to work with DelDOT officials to coordinate a process that allowed both projects to safely and efficiently occur concurrently. DE Turf is now open for business and the interchange remains under construction. The complexity of the project did not end with politics or transportation issues.

A federally-regulated wetland stream traverses the property and several pedestrian crossings needed to be coordinated. A 30” regional sewer force main crosses the property and was

tapped to serve the property—neither an easy nor common occurrence. The scale of the earthmoving was so significant that the Kent County Conservation District was persuaded to allow a “rolling disturbance” where confined areas of construction were regulated while under construction rather than the whole project. This allowed the review and approval process to take place while not slowing the schedule. DE Turf was a complex undertaking with a variety of stakeholders and regulators who were successfully organized and satisfied for the community’s benefit.

Expectations DE Turf, working both with and for the Greater Kent Committee, in association with the Delaware Economic Development Office and Kent County, is proud to have played a significant role in constructing the most significant recreation venue in Delaware since Dover Motor Speedway. These fields of green will allow generations of competitors, fans and families to visit and enjoy central Delaware for many years to come.

hether you’re managing facilities, grounds or workplace safety, the process always matters. Communicating it to your colleagues so everyone works together seamlessly is even more important. Reporting may not be the most important task to some but it sure can make life easier for your residents and government officials after an event. Almost every aspect of public works has a policy and procedures manual. Many training hours are invested in communicating, reviewing and practicing the construction, mechanical and electrical operations of buildings in order to maintain various areas of responsibility.

Snow plans can be very extensive.

storm recovery procedures are quite thorough. Not only do they identify the appropriate equipment, human assets, responsibilities and thresholds for getting your buildings and grounds prepared for a storm, the same attention to detail addresses cleanup and rebuilding efforts as well.

Often, the expensive, dangerous culprit is the weather. This is why a well thought out, extensively documented, properly trained and communicated plan should be sitting on your shelf (after extensive training workshops), right next to the snow plan or the approved materials books. Such a plan would include at least four critical features: timeline to safety; approved tools including prioritization and training with those tools; communication protocols; and reporting templates.

Exhausting winter despite minor accumulations (credit: Rebecca Rogers, Meteorologist, Weather or Not, Inc.)

If someone asks what’s the weather going to do and everybody pulls out a different app or points to a different TV station or National Weather Service (NWS) product, then you are heading into the storm with a chaotic approach.

Your responsibilities may span worker safety, public safety, and the safety of your property all the while protecting your budget. Managing weather conditions cannot be a matter of guessing while the fire hose intensity of incoming data leaves you shaking your head. It’s time to outline the path to pre-tested, intentional operational weather decisions.

Timeline to Safety Knowing how long it’ll take to fully execute each of your procedures before the impactful weather arrives is the first and most critical decision to be addressed in your weather operations audit. For example, if you’re aerating 84

and seeding a field with heavy thunderstorms and high winds coming in, you might want to put a little sand over the seed so the wind can take the sand and the free water can nourish the seed. Your timeline question in this scenario would be: how long will it take to completely aerate, put down materials, and get our workers inside before high winds and lightning approach?

people are walking into your building—how likely are slip ‘n falls? Your timeline to safety is your deadline for your weather forecasting and operational decisions. Make a list of every weather-affected task, then time out how long you would need if you were to hear that detrimental weather would be threatening your project.

Another timeline question might regard the electrical maintenance of light poles in your parking lot. How long does it take for your crew to finish the task, get out of the bucket truck and return to the building? Then you know that any indecision about your weather forecast inside that timeframe significantly increases costly and possibly dangerous consequences for that particular operational decision.

To make the best operational weather decisions and take the guesswork out of your weather forecasting questions, pre-testing and documenting the most reliable weather tools is a must.

First, determine which tools provide the most accurate and timely weather updates before bad weather approaches. Test every app, website, private weather vendor and NWS product against how helpful they were in saving you money or increasing safety in previous situations.

Another way to think of it could be if you’re treating parking lots and sidewalks after the ice has formed while

Once you’ve determined the best resources, by weather type and operational activity, make those the first “goto” resources every time by everybody.

Get the helter-skelter out of operational weather decisions by matching forecasting tools and decision options with a process as professional as the one you use to build your walkways or maintain your equipment. Don’t forget to train everyone up to the same competency level for both the approved tools and how they’re to be integrated into your operational decisions.

how to get the word out within your team, to your supervisors, residents and government officials. The suggestion here is to use it as a template of sorts when starting a weather communication protocol for non-emergency situations. Starting with a blank slate can be overwhelming.

The purpose is similar to all communication procedures: Keep it simple, make certain that everyone knows their purpose and deadlines, and stay in touch as the situation evolves.

Reporting It’s not uncommon to have weather adversely affect a project’s cost or deadline without supervisors, residents or government officials ever knowing about it. They may not remember the month without two consecutive dry days or the unrelenting heat wave, but rarely do they automatically relate it to your pain as a facilities and grounds manager. This is where reports can be so effective.

As we come out of winter—okay, as some of us come out of winter—let’s use recent events to drive home this point. Many cities in the Central Plains had the most expensive (less than 4” of snowfall) winter they can remember. With multiple events of freezing drizzle, freezing rain and minor snow accumulations, areas such as the Kansas City and St. Louis Metros had crews constantly treating for slickness and rush hour refreeze problems. Since drivers get in more accidents with minimal accumulations, these “light events” that border on the freezing mark can be real budget busters.

Many events occurred on holidays and weekends. In the Kansas City area, departments found themselves without a “whole holiday weekend” for any of the major holidays: Christmas, New Years, Martin Luther King and Presidents Day weekends. Not only is that tough on even the most loyal of employees, it’s a lot of overtime costs.

EZ Brine mixing

Winter storms are unpredictable.

Let GVM work for you with the automated EZ Brine, a quick and efficient solution to make sure you’re always ready to hit the streets before the storm does. The system includes remote operations, so you can check your capacity and salinity from the office and make adjustments as needed.

“Minor accumulation events this season have had a significant cost as they required the same amount of salt as a 3” or 4” snow would have for each event,” explains Bruce Taylor, Operations Manager for the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri. “Residents and city officials may be surprised because they don’t correlate that we’d use that much salt when they only see minor accumulations.” (See graph on p. 84.)

Lee’s Summit uses documentation to mitigate the surprise. They start with precipitation types and amounts, wind if it were a blowing snow situation, fluctuating temperatures for freeze/ thaw/refreeze cycles, and comparisons to prior years. This data is then integrated with their asset management information such as trucks, materials, labor, overtime, etc. “Numbers don’t tell the whole story,” Bruce explains, “your audience needs a narrative.”

Reporting benefits can help your department year-round. Rainfall data can show how impossible it was for your crews to accomplish the projects expected. Heating degree days and cooling degree days can help explain your HVAC bills or unusual stress to that equipment. Comparisons to prior years may also help paint the picture of how one or two unusual seasons cannot predict that next year’s budget needs will be lower. (See graph on p. 86.)

Conclusions New seasons bring new challenges.

Documenting your processes for the various impacts to your facilities and operations as well as the cost per event, makes it easier for your residents and government officials to better understand the spending and efforts your team makes to improve your community. Better understanding leads to better support. With your residents and government officials behind you, the only fight you should have is with Mother Nature.

Facility management departments can implement GIS asset management technology solutions to address the ongoing budget squeeze Gregory M. Baird, MPA, Infrastructure Asset Management and Financial Planning Consultant; Member, APWA Engineering and Technology Committee; Chair, APWA Underground Infrastructure Technology Subcommittee

T

he unfunded liabilities of pensions and infrastructure are two interrelated public threats creating a squeeze on all available operating revenue which avalanches from the state level to counties, devastating local governments financially and forcing asset maintenance into an endless reactive cycle which has a higher cost than preventive maintenance activities.

These budget impacts have taken decades to create and still have no definitive resolution.

As a result, public works and facility management departments must apply technology to augment potential staffing and knowledge reductions while also making hard operating and maintenance decisions. (See figure on top of next page.)

A County-level GIS Asset Management Solution Milwaukee County (ranked about 45th out of 3,142 counties in the U.S.) was founded in 1834 and is the most populous county in Wisconsin with over 950,000 citizens and is home to the fifth largest city in the Midwest, Milwaukee. It employs approximately 4,750 people, providing a range of governmental services within 1,190 square miles and 3.9 people per square mile.

The county is facing a structural budgetary deficit caused primarily by growing pension and retirement health care costs also combined with state funding reductions like many other counties, municipalities and other smaller government agencies in charge of maintaining public facilities and assets. There are many lessons which can be learned from Milwaukee County’s efforts and applied to facility management organizations of all sizes.

7. Use a Phased Approach 8. Align Technologies to Embrace Future Functionality The Facility Management Division (with over $1.3 billion in capital assets needing maintenance) initiated the development and coordination of an enterprise-wide facility management effort to business processes across six departments. This initiative also met a strategic objective of the Information Management Services Division (IMSD) to consolidate existing disparate systems and processes into an enterprise solution.

GIS is the authoritative system for local government asset inventory. At the core, a GIS platform and geo-database provide the tools necessary to maintain the asset inventory and for using geography as a management tool. A GIScentric asset maintenance and management software can be used to consolidate disparate systems and be utilized to provide tools for managing and tracking the work that regulates local government assets. This GIS-centric approach leverages an organization’s investment in GIS delivering immediate and tangible benefits, including simplifying the process to maintain an asset inventory and eliminating the need for data syncing interfaces and associated data normalization challenges.

Enterprise-wide Facility Management Asset management programs can be defined as managing infrastructure capital assets to minimize the total cost of owning, operating, and maintaining assets at acceptable levels of service. Enterprise Asset Management encompasses the entire organization and recognizes the interdependencies of maintenance, operations, asset performance, personnel productivity, life-cycle costs, and capital planning.

The facilities management division mission is to provide exceptional total life-cycle management for all county facilities and facility-related support functions in order to enable the county to deliver efficient and effective services to the citizens.

GIS integration of work orders and 3-D asset visualization by POWER Engineers

Stepping up to the challenge, Milwaukee County is acting to gain the benefits and efficiencies that implementing an enterprise solution will provide. On average, over 80 percent of public assets are location based. A system that spatially pulls data together in a cohesive system that can provide real-time updates for staff in the field and in the office provides an effective way to manage county-wide assets.

Enterprise authoritative systems have transitioned from the back office to the front office to the field. This progression has been accelerated by the desire for anytime, anywhere access from any computer or device, optimized for a specific type of end user. In response, enterprise software systems have transformed to become platforms that can easily integrate diverse software packages in ways previously not possible.

Milwaukee County partnered with POWER Engineers for the enterprise implementation of the GIS-centric work order and asset management solution. The solution provides the ability for viewing assets, tracking maintenance, and supporting decisions for county-wide facility management for following six departments: Facilities, Parks (with over 15,000 acres of parks and buildings), Zoo (with 1.3 million visitors and over 2,500 work orders integrated with efforts to reduce energy costs while maintaining 200 acres of zoo grounds with 435 species, 3,200 specimens of mammals, birds, fish,

amphibians, reptiles and invertebrates), House of Corrections (which maintains 560,000 square feet of buildings plus grounds with $25 million in operating costs continuing to increase but facing a reduced budget), Transit (with $153.3 million in operating costs including 56 bus routes with stations and signage and over 18.7 million bus hours), Fleet and Economic Development.

backlog for work orders and move from reactive work orders towards preventive maintenance work orders.

This enterprise effort replaces multiple, disparate work order systems with an enterprise-wide solution and allows Milwaukee County to: 1. Manage capital assets by minimizing the total cost of owning, operating, and maintaining those assets at acceptable levels of service.

2. Provide greater clarity, ease of management, and the ability to perform intelligent and cost-effective inspections, condition assessments, and reporting which may greatly assist in the capital planning process.

Key Enterprise Reports can use important metrics of improved performance and success. This includes: 1. Workload Trend Analysis: Display the total number of new, completed and incomplete work orders by week over user selected time period.

2. Preventive Maintenance Program Health: Display the total number of Completed PM, Completed CM and percent PM to total work orders by week over user selected time period.

3. Preventive Maintenance Accomplishment: Display the total number of scheduled PM, completed PM work orders with percent completed PM to total work orders by week for user selected time.

4. Work Order Aging: Display work order response time summary as the length of time to complete work orders shown as percent of completed work orders in three predefined time periods (<10 days, 10-30 days, >30 days).

The initial deployment for a major system like this can be difficult. Reducing the scope for the initial rollout can 92

reduce risks due to the decreased complexity. Multiple releases (or phases) can allow the team to gain valuable onsite knowledge and build a core team of users or experts that can help guide successive deployments. This type of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phased project approachâ&#x20AC;? is a software industry best practice which allows the project teams to split large, complex projects into smaller iterations or releases. These smaller releases are easier to understand, easier to communicate with stakeholders and easier to manage. The overall benefits of this approach include a quicker return on investment and a lower risk on the initial deployment.

The Future of Facilities Management on a GIScentric Platform: 3-D Work Maintenance The progression of technology continues to assist in managing public assets against declining operational revenues and a decrease in an experienced workforce. One future trend to address these issues includes the use of 3-D mapping and work order visual analysis for facilities management.

In this case, CAD files can be moved into an ArcGIS environment with a spatial reference of the file along with an insertion point for the file to allow users to create or view work orders that are associated with 3-D assets (see figure above).

Local governments will continue to be plagued by limited budgets and a declining experienced workforce into the foreseeable future. A structured and balanced approach includes investing in and leveraging technologies and services which can provide a Web GIS-centric platform approach to seamlessly collect and use data to make better life-cycle management decisions, better allocation resources, and justify budget requests.

ETHICS FOR PUBLIC WORKS PROFESSIONALS This course is designed for individuals who are interested in exploring both personal and professional ethics. This course provides practical advice on ethics and emphasizes the importance of ethical behavior in personal and professional interactions. It provides real-world examples, as well as advice in dealing with the non-technical aspects of our profession. CEUs: eligible for .2 CEUs upon completion.

ETHICS FOR PUBLIC WORKS SUPERVISORS This course is designed for individuals who are interested in exploring ethics in supervision and management. Sometimes public works professionals are faced with difficult public policy choices that may stretch our ethical boundaries. Leading in the context of our own ethics is challenging enough, but leaders must also manage the ethics of others and discover how to create and maintain an ethical culture. Public works leaders must walk the talk, set the tone, hold themselves accountable, and strive to create a culture of openness, democracy, merit, and creativity. Only by exercising the principles of ethical leadership can we meet the challenges of the future and sustain the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trust in our decisions and stewardship of public resources. CEUs: eligible for .2 CEUs upon completion.
