The purpose of this memorandum is to provide Council and the public with background information regarding the process leading up to the completion of this feasibility study. The object of the Committee of the Whole meeting is to allow ample opportunity for Council- Administration-Professional/Expert discussion regarding the analysis and to provide staff, by consensus, with direction regarding the project. BACKGROUND: The question of a recreation center in the City of McHenry has been a long debated topic. It is one that has also been tied to the aquatics options with the first discussions dating all the way back to 1980 and the conversation of whether to build a community pool or a recreation center. At that time, the community pool option was chosen, built, and opened in 1981. With this need answered the focus shifted to the possibility of a recreation center. In 1990, the City conducted a comprehensive Attitude and Interest Survey of residents to identify programs and facilities desired in the community. A multi-purpose community recreation center was identified as a need and strongly supported by resident responses. In 1995 a full audit of the community and a needs assessment was completed, again illustrating the community’s desire for an indoor recreation facility. Planning began that year to investigate the size, location and possible funding source for the facility. The preliminary designs called for a 50-60,000 square foot building that would accommodate a wide variety of city programs. This facility would potentially be located immediately west of the Municipal Center and south of Knox Park on land owned by the city. In 1997 the measure was presented to City Council for a vote with an expansion of the tele- communications tax as a potential funding source. The measure failed 3-4, yet the need remained and was recognized. Shortly after, a mechanism was established to divert a portion of developer donations into a dedicated recreation center fund. In 2001, the city placed a question of the recreation center on an advisory referendum ballot asking residents if they would like a recreation facility constructed in the City of McHenry. The results left the city in essentially the same place as it began with counted ballots amounting to 51-49% opposed to the measure. At this point the city also explored the option of partnering with a local YMCA on a shared facility however the details and divided revenue between the agencies proved too large an obstacle to overcome. As of 2002 the recreation center fund had grown to $4 Million and the funding mechanism had expired so no further funds were added to the dedicated account. With no partners and an estimated price tag of over $10 Million the project was shelved. It was brought up from time to time at the committee level and most recently discussed at multiple meetings in 2012 with the potential to utilize the funds to build a recreation center and renovate a now aging community pool. These thorough discussions, as well as the rising costs of construction that essentially is deteriorating the accrued money in the recreation center fund, led the city to try to again answer the recreation center question in a manner that would allow for phasing of both a recreation and an aquatic facility on the previously identified city owned property. As part of the FY13/14 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and budget process staff discussed a number of existing and future facility needs in relation to the existing McHenry Municipal Center; an aging existing aquatics facility, and the development of space that could consolidate recreational programming and provide an opportunity for expanded community fitness needs. The following is a more specific discussion regarding each of these needs. Municipal Center Now more than twenty (20) years old, the McHenry Municipal Center was designed and built to meet the needs of a growing community. Unfortunately, evolving municipal functions over time, combined with changes in the use of technology, increased programmatic needs in the area of recreation, and staff/departmental reorganization as a result of the recent economic downturn. While a comprehensive facility analysis was included in the FY13/14 Budget (currently being undertaken by FGM Architects) to identify the best use of current space, the two most obvious and immediate needs relate to the Police Department and the consolidation/relocation of Recreation Administration and programming space. Ideally, the space currently utilized by Recreation, located on the 2nd floor directly above Police Administration, would be made available for Police Department needs. However, there is not sufficient space within the Municipal Center to relocate Recreation programming. Recreation Center As identified earlier in this memorandum, a public recreation facility has long been a goal of the community. A comprehensive study was completed and an approximate 63,000 square foot facility was completed in 1995 and, in fact, the desire for such a facility has been so strong as to have established a developer contribution specifically for the development of a recreation center as previously discussed. The Recreation Fund currently has a balance of approximately $4 million however the decline in residential development over the past few years has resulted in very limited additional contributions to this fund. As a result, the potential for developing the full scope of recreation center that was envisioned in 1997 is simply not possible. Aquatic Facility Knox Park Pool, now the Peter J. Merkel Aquatic Facility, was built in 1981 to serve a community of 10,737. While the facility has certainly served McHenry well, the reality is that the facility is nearing the end of its useful life in terms of maintenance and is undersized for a community of now nearly 28,000 residents. Project Focus/Process With an understanding of the dynamics and interrelationship of the needs identified above, City Administration was able, with gratis assistance from HR Green, to develop conceptualized site plans for the development of a combined recreation and aquatics facility on the 10+ acre property owned by the municipality just west of the existing Municipal Center parking lot. The original thought behind a combined facility is that it could maximize shared space (such as parking, restroom/changing facilities, public space) and develop a facility that could: 1) provide a facility that could accommodate consolidated recreation programming (dance classes, group fitness, multi use rooms), a fitness area (free weights, weight machines, cardio fitness machines) resulting in recreation services being relocated out of the Municipal Center; 2) provide a family-oriented aquatics facility to serve the residents of McHenry and attract customers from the surrounding market area; and, 3) provide sufficient opportunities for future expansion of both recreation and aquatics, including the eventual decommissioning of the Peter J. Merkel facility. At a May 13, 2013 Committee of the Whole meeting Williams Architects presented the conceptual design to Council and, after discussion, Council concurred that staff should work with HR Green to develop a formal Request for Qualifications (RFQ). An amendment to the Recreation Center Fund and professional services agreement with HR Green was approved by Council on June 3, 2013 and on August 19, 2013 Council approved retaining Dewberry Architects, Inc. to conduct a feasibility analysis and provide architectural services related to the design and construction of a recreation/aquatics facility. Subsequent to the selection of Dewberry Architects, Inc., at the direction of staff Dewberry set out to develop a plan for a combined recreation and aquatics facility based on a total project budget of $8 million. This amount was used as a target under the potential for utilizing the $4 million in the Recreation Center Fund and financing the remaining $4 million through bonds financed with revenues generated by the facility. An important component of Dewberry’s scope of work was also to conduct financial proformas analyzing various facility concepts with the goal of identifying a facility sized appropriately to meet the needs of the community, but that can be funded without the need to utilize General Fund dollars. RESULTS/ANALYSIS/RECOMMENDATION: During the week of December 16th staff met with Mr. Daniel Atilano and Ms. Barbara Heller to discuss the results of the feasibility analysis – a copy of the full report has been included for Council’s review prior to the January 6, 2014 Committee of the Whole meeting. As identified, Mr. Atilano and Ms. Heller will be in attendance to provide a summary of the results of the feasibility study however from a staff perspective it is not recommended that a combined aquatic/recreation facility be developed at this time. In short, there is not a combination of recreation center and aquatics programming that provide sufficient revenue generation to cover the costs of construction and resulting debt service and operations. While it may be possible that one of the two needs be met – either aquatics or recreational – based on the information provided, there will most likely still be some alternate funding source (other than the existing Recreation Fund and potential user/member fees) required to develop such a facility. Should Council choose to proceed, it is the opinion of staff that the development of a recreation-focused facility will address more of the needs of the residents of McHenry by consolidating recreational programming and providing opportunities for expanded programs and services. Additionally, the variety of year-round opportunities provided through the development of a recreation facility, as envisioned, also offer the greatest opportunity for revenue generation and the ability of the facility to be self-sufficient. Finally, moving recreation functions out of the Municipal Center will assist in addressing space need requirements of the Police Department as previously discussed.

Integrate the planned improvements with the barn, skate park and municipal center. Connecting these areas will provide overflow parking and increase the opportunities for success at the new improvements. By looking beyond the available site, the planned improvements will strengthen the existing physical and natural amenities by creating a cam pus feel. This smart planning also maximizes the construction dollars available for new aquatic and recreation improvements by reducing the site costs related to parking, roadways and storm water detention. Renovate the barn in the future to become a banquet facility. The potential use of this building as a banquet facility adds value to maintaining and retaining it for future use. Using the Streamwood Park District’s adaptive reuse of their barn to a banquet facility illustrates the revenue potential of this structure. Include a fitness center in the new recreation center. This proven revenue generating space is critical to the financial success of the center. It will be the number one reason that the majority of community users will use the facility. As noted in this study, significant opportunities exist to engage inactive populations in exercising. Nationally, for most age groups, weight training is one of the most frequently mentioned activities that people indicate they would like to participate. Multipurpose rooms are the second key component of a planned recreation center. This revenue generating space is a workhorse and offers opportunities for programs and activities that appeal to all ages. Flexible spaces are inexpensive to construct and offer the most bang for the dollar in smaller recreation centers. Construct a separate and dedicated locker/shower facility for the aquatics park. Keeping this program component separate from the recreation center will cost less since the facility will be seasonal which allocates more construction dollars to the recreation center. Locker/shower facilities at recreation centers are less important to users, expensive to construct and maintain and are not a source of income. This space can be added to the recreation center in the future if desired and when the available funds make it feasible. Long-term construct a gymnasium with an elevated walking track. Two regulation IHSA basketball courts with a three lane walking track should be added in the second phase. The site will not support a three basketball court gym due to its size and the limited site available. Nationally, fitness sports remained the most popular physical activity. The participation rate has held steady at 60% over the past four years. Running and walking for fitness continue to show a strong and consistent growth. This activity has appeal to all ages City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 3 of 84 Project Description In August 2013, Dewberry was commissioned by the City of McHenry to complete an aquatics and recreation center feasibility study for proposed improvements at a 10 acre site south of Knox Park and west of the Government Center in McHenry, Illinois. The feasibility study will determine the amenities and program spaces to be included in the proposed aquatics and recreation center. These improvements will be developed to meet the City’s demographic needs balanced with an understanding of surrounding competition, the anticipated construction cost, operational costs and the projected revenue. The end goal is to have a facility that is a break-even or revenue generating service. This first step will also provide a feasible site concept prior to the start of the design phase. The following individuals have participated in the feasibility study to date: City of McHenry: Sue Low, Mayor Derik Morefield, City Administrator Doug Martin, Deputy Administrator Bill Hobson, Deputy Administrator Cindy Witt, Superintendent of Recreation Pattie Lunkenheimer, Athletic Program Coordinator Dewberry Team : Tom Seymour, Principal Daniel Atilano, Project Manager Brian Meade, Design Director Kalman Nagy, Designer Stephen Shatswell, Intern Architect Nathan Bossenga, Architect / Structural Engineer Barbara Heller, Heller & Heller Consulting, Inc.

The goals are organized into a framework of four considerations; form, function, economy and time. Form relates to the site, the physical environment and the quality of the space and construction. Form is what you will see and feel. Key words are site, environment and quality. • To provide a “wow” factor that is in alignment with the budget to attract users and reinforce a sense of place and community pride. • To design a facility that enhances and compliments the site’s natural features. Function implies “what’s going to happen in the building.” It concerns activities, relationships of spaces, and people – their number and characteristics. Key words are people, activities and relationships. • To design and plan a multi-generational aquatic and recreation center. • To incorporate sustainable design practices, materials and systems when feasible. • To create and strengthen a connection with the Municipal Center and Knox Park. • To provide staff offices and multipurpose spaces to vacate the Municipal Center. Economy concerns the initial budget and quality of construction, but also includes consideration of operation and life cycle costs. Key words are initial budget, operating budget and life cycle costs. • To design the improvements to meet the City’s $8M Total Project Budget. • To plan and design a break-even / revenue generation operation. • To provide a 40-year, average level of construction quality. Time has three classifications – past, present and future. • To consider the historic barn and silo as an integral part of the design solution. • To open the facility by Memorial Day weekend 2015. • To develop a site master plan that anticipates future improvements.

This survey was performed to identify the property boundaries and all existing improvements and nature features relative to the site. This information is critical to the layout and design of the site. From the survey we were able to ascertain the location and sizes of the existing water mains and sanitary sewers that will serve this site. It is to be noted that these utilities were installed as a part of the Municipal Drive project with the intent of serving a facility of this kind. We were also able to locate the existing access point to the site. Locations for possible site connection to the both the existing municipal building parking lot and the gravel lot adjacent the Knox Park barn were also located. The existing storm sewer that serves this site was also located in this survey. This sewer system, installed during the Municipal Drive project, was sized to accommodate the storm water run-off assuming a recreational facility would be constructed. The sewer system was installed at the low point of the site, which is planned to serve as the future detention pond for the site. Topographic Survey City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 9 of 84 Soil Boring Analysis Also included in the initial investigation of the site was to determine the location and size of a soil borrow pit that was constructed on this site in the early 1980’s. Fill material from this site was used to create the original bridge abutments on the Miller Road bridge over the Fox River. Good material was taken from this site for the bridge and the poor material from the bridge site was placed back in the hole left on this site. No records of the location of this pit could be found. The location and depth of this pit could greatly affect this project by increasing the removal costs for bad material or sifting the location of the proposed buildings. To find the pit, a material specialist started with a series of soil borings laid out in a grid. Luckily, they were able to locate this pit and determine the rough extent of the fill material. The findings discovered that the size of the pit is relatively small and the fill is not very deep. It appears from the initial investigation that the impact from this pit will be minimal. The soils report is included in the Appendix of this report. Knox Park Restrictions Chad Pieper was informed by Dave Sellman, of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources that the Knox Park property grant restrictions would not allow an indoor recreation facility to be built within the park boundaries. Mr. Sellman did state that there shouldn’t be a problem if an outdoor pool did cross onto the Knox park property. Section 6(f) (3) of the federal, Land & Water Conser vation Fund (L&WCF) Act of 1965, as amended, requires that all properties acquired and/or developed with L&WCF grant assistance must be maintained and used, in perpetuity, for public outdoor recreation use. Such properties may not be utilized or developed for any use other than public outdoor recreation. This includes the Development of indoor recreation facilities, or the granting of easements, road rights-of-way, leases or other land encumbrances or actions which reduce the amount of land originally included within the “L&WCF Project Boundary Area” and dedicated for public outdoor recreation as part of the approved grant project. City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 10 of 84 Barn Audit On September 12, 2013, Chad Pieper, Joe Vavrina, Bill Hobson, Nathan Bossenga and Daniel Atilano toured the site and the adjacent barn and silo. The purpose of the on-site inspections was to document the existing condition of the barn and silo, adjacent improvements and existing site conditions. The facility assessment is based on limited visual inspections. The following is an overview of the barn and silo’s existing condition along with recommendations f or potential future use. Southwest View The building is located in Knox Park in McHenry at the end of Knox Drive, just east of Route 31. The building is a wood framed barn with a cast-in-place concrete silo. A large gravel parking lot and drive surrounds the barn and is shared with the skate board park that is also in Knox Park. The barn has two levels, with a partial loft on the upper level. Currently the upper level of the barn is used for storage. The lower level is primarily unused. All levels were made available for the assessment. The assessment was visual in nature; no destructive testing was conducted as part of this assessment. City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 11 of 84 View from West View from South View from East View from North The barn originally served as a dairy barn for the farm that was previously at this site. The property was acquired by the City of McHenry in 1979. The overall dimensions of the barn are approximately 36 x 80 or 2,880 square feet on the lower and upper levels. The loft at the south end of the barn is approxim ately 580 square feet. The barn is currently used for equipment storage and seasonal items. The local Jaycees use the lower level each Fall for their haunted house The barn is located at the southwest portion of Knox Park at the top of a hill. In the immediate vicinity of the barn is a large gravel parking lot that also serves as parking for the nearby skate park and picnic area. City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 12 of 84 View looking East to Skate Park Picnic Pavilion Site Map Access to the upper level of the barn is via an earthen gravel ramp that aligns with a large sliding barn door on the west side. The site allows for a walkout basement on the north, south and east sides with the grade on the west side approximately five feet below the floor of the upper level. Access to the lower level is provided by a pair of sliding doors on the south and single hinged door on the north side. The upper level has two elevated areas. A loft is across the south end of the barn and a newly constructed storage area at the west side of the barn. Wood stairs leading to the loft on the south end while no permanent access is provided to the elevated storage area on the west. It appears the loft of the south City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 13 of 84 maybe original to the barn, but the loft on the west was added by the park district for increased storage. There is a cast-in-place concrete silo, located adjacent to the North West corner of the barn. No access into the silo is provided. South Loft with Stair The building is a wood framed post and beam structure supported on a cast-in-place concrete foundation. The lower level has a concrete slab-on-grade floor. When the City acquired the property, they had the troughs and depressions in the slab filled with concrete to create a level floor. The structure is a post and beam system of load bearing interior and exterior wood stud walls supporting rough-sawn wood floor joists. The upper/main level floor framing was not visible due to a ceiling present in the lower level. The upper level floor consists of a majority of wood plank floor boards with areas overlaid with plywood. The building structure overall is in satisfactory condition for its age and previous function. Local areas of rot or other damage were visible in the exterior siding.

The transformer and metering for the electrical service for the adjacent skate park is next to the metering for the barn. There is also an emergency phone located on the east side and security cameras on the south and west sides of the barn. No other utilities (water, gas and sewer) service the barn. A fire hydrant is located on the far west side of the property that could potentially be used to provide water service to the barn. The closest locations of other utilities are not known at this time. There is no heating or cooling system for the barn. The building does not have fire sprinkler system or a fire alarm system. Electrical Transformer and Meters Emergency Phone at Southeast Corner The exterior of the building is in satisfactory condition. The building in currently clad with vertical wood plank siding painted red. All the windows on the upper level and most of the windows for the building have been removed and replaced with siding. There are two wood frame windows on the north side in the lower level that remain. The building has an asphalt shingle roof that was installed seven to eight years ago as per the City. At that time, plywood sheathing was added on top of the wood plank roof boards to provide an adequate surface for the shingles. The barn does not have gutters and downspouts. Existing Windows on the North Elevation Infill of Original Windows on Upper Level City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 16 of 84 The following items will need to be installed if the building is converted for public use. o Air / vapor barrier o Wall + roof insulation o Egress from the upper level o Restrooms o ADA compliance o Heating and cooling system o Lighting o Gas, water and sanitary service o Fire protection and alarm systems View Looking East at Skate Park Side Wall Framing Detail Post / Beam / Ceiling Framing City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 17 of 84 Comments + Future Considerations 1. Although, the barn is not part of the proposed improvements included in this study, it’s value to the community is very high from a historic and potential revenue generating perspective. 2. The overall structure of the building appears to be in satisfactory condition with the main level of the interior being well preserved and original. 3. Consideration of an adaptive reuse to be used as a banquet/meeting facility presents a great opportunity to preserve the structure while providing value to the community. 4. A catering kitchen, restrooms, elevator, fire stairs and office space will need to be added if the barn is converted into a banquet/meeting facility. 5. A preliminary code review supports that the adaptive reuse is a viable option with code compliance. 6. Using the Hoosier Grove Barn located in Streamwood, Illinois as a case study, the potential to create a revenue-generation operation in an historic barn is a unique and limited opportunity available to municipal units of government. 7. The national average for banquet facility seating is 175. The Knox Barn will seat 140 – 180 increasing the potential for success. The Hoosier Grove Barn in Streamwood, IL seats 108. 8. Access to the site is easy and convenient to potential users with the site being immediately adjacent to Route 31 and Bull Valley Drive. 9. The Knox Barn has the potential to become a treasured and iconic symbol of the community’s past. 10. The applicability of these requirements will need to be reviewed with the building code officials to better understand their implications after the building’s use is determined. 11. Development of a site master plan should be undertaken to fully discover the potential of this historic site and the surrounding attributes. 12. If the barn is not restored, over time it will continue to deteriorate and eventually be lost forever. 3D Interior Views of Restored Barn City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 18 of 84 Barn Adaptive Reuse Case Study Hoosier Grove Barn, Streamwood, IL The Hoosier Grove Barn was built in 1888 in an area known as Hoosier Grove in the 1870s. The barn and surrounding land was used to raise dairy cows. Renovation began in 1993 on the 2,000 square foot barn that has been transformed into a banquet and m eeting room facility operated by the Streamwood Park District. Seating capacity is dependent on the configuration ranging from 108 for banquet style, 200 for cocktails and 300 for stand-up networking. Bar and beverage packages are available. The 2014 Wedding Package Pricing is $1,750 facility fee, $25 per person with 65 guest minimum that includes an open bar for five hours plus a $3 per person beverage charge for people under 21 years old. Other rentals include birthday party packages, baby/bridal showers, baptisms, anniversary parties, business meetings, seminars, trainings, rehearsal dinners, and graduation/retirement parties. The wedding rentals for 2013 total 46 as reported by Leslie DeMoss, Event/Corporate Services Manager for the Streamwood Park District. The national average size for wedding banquets is 175 with 225 – 250 being ideal.

It could be a type of theme, design characteristic, etc. o To have the facility’s design reflect the City of McHenry, and when people come to it pretend they are blindfolded, and when they enter the facility not knowing where they are they can deduce through the design, style, architecture, etc. that this is the City of McHenry. This could be incorporating McHenry history, prairie-style (Frank Lloyd Wright) architecture, and agricultural/farming past, something distinguishable/unique to the City of McHenry. o A great benefit would be for the building to be LEED Certified or at least incorporate latest in environmental/energy efficient design.

Guest accommodations are becoming commonplace in a municipal pool – shade is increasingly important today along with deck chairs and pavilions where guests can be comfortable. A comfortable guest spends more time at the park. Many outdoor Family Aquatic Centers are including rentable cabanas within their facilities that have become a great source of revenue for municipalities. These cabanas are rented for an increment of time and allow for families and groups to have a shaded, centralized meeting area. A popular place for children’s birthday parties is the neighborhood swimming pool. Many aquatic centers have both indoor air conditioned and outdoor shaded areas designated for these reserved get-togethers. Many facilities offer packages that also include admission for the attendees, pizza, snacks and a birthday cake. After follow up with our clients we have found that these areas are continually reserved and another great source of revenue. City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 29 of 84 Conversation and socializing areas within the pool – three to five feet of water – with bubble benches and sitting areas are becoming prevalent in new designs. Changes in water filtration systems including UV filtration is another current and future trend in the industry. UV is quickly becoming a standard for addressing chloramines at indoor aquatic facilities and proactively addresses Cryptosporidium and other chlorine resistant pathogens in outdoor pools. Create excitement through the use of furnishings, large umbrellas, and attractive signage. One final trend that shouldn't be overlooked is theming. Themed environments within a park have become increasingly popular in municipal and commercial water parks. The ability to package some sort of experience and create an instant atmosphere transforms guests into another world as they navigate through the park. This concept creates excitement and a sense of arrival for the guest and can help to increase the length of stay. City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 30 of 84 The inclusion of water playgrounds into municipal parks is on the rise. These interactiv e areas can be located adjacent to other recreation venues or in stand-alone parks or urban areas. There are some misconceptions about water playgrounds. If the system has a recirculation system (not a potable water system) someone still has to keep an eye on sanitation levels, mechanical operations, etc. at least twice a day. There are also more moving parts and systems can be more complex with the controller that opens and closes valves in a sequence. City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 31 of 84 Designing for future expansion – During the programming and master planning of the projects we can identify opportunities for future equipment or pool additions for when funds become available and account for these in the initial design. Examples include building a slide tower that accommodates two slides but only includes one in the initial project and planning space for water play features that can be added. Zero depth and tube slides are synonymous with today’s aquatic centers, they aren’t new trends. People want to be entertained. Commercial water parks are a big influence in the municipal Family Aquatic Centers. FAC’s are making rides more exciting to keep up with the public’s entertainment needs. We are starting to see amenities like surf generators, speed slides, wave pools, water coasters, and multi- level play structures in public aquatic centers. A unique and challenging opportunity for the design team is the target market mix of both tourists and local residents. The tourist segment will expect a destination park that will create memorable experiences and there is an opportunity with the local market to drive repeat guest visitation. The design program should address both the memorable and repeat guest opportunities. Design/Product /Vendor Pieces Aqua – Tainment: Blending aquatics into a theatrical production with high entertainment value that drives guests to want to return and repeat their experiences. Hydro-Style: Waterslide appearance customization of fiberglass material, stencil design and theming.

City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 32 of 84 Surf Experiences: Today there are more sophisticated systems and more options to choose from for wave and surf attractions. Surfers can now customize their experience by selecting their wave type and size via palm device. Mini-Versions: More suppliers and designers are catering to younger guests and their parents by providing small versions of typical water park attractions. Mini-Rivers, mini-wave ponds, and mini versions of waterslides keep the little ones entertained. City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 33 of 84 Skill Based Amenities: both wet and dry, challenge guests and their peers to create an interactive experience; guests will want to improve their skills thus driving guests to return to the water park for repeat visits. Non-Traditional Water Park Activities Aqua Course: Water park activity that incites excitement by traversing guests through an exhilarating course of ropes, towers, bridges and zip lines while safely harnessed in. Guests can choose from multiple tracks that are as wet or dry, active or passive, as they want. City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 34 of 84 Climbing Walls: Strategically placed walls integrate water and climbing excitement. Splash and Play: In-Que Entertainment, integrating water and animation to entertain and inform guests while in line. There are always new, thrilling rides that push the envelope of new experiences; and the design team will work to integrate the latest and greatest- most unique attractions into the plan. City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 35 of 84 Recreation Center Trends Fitness centers are the number one reason people use recreation facilities. This space is also typically the greatest revenue generating space. So your space will never be to large, only too small. The reason for this space demand is that adults are staying more active to remain healthy and fit.

Two-hour childcare has become a standard at today’s recreation centers. Providing spaces that are tailored to this age group along with being conveniently located have become an important space component. Indoor Walking Track. Everyone from age two to 102 has the ability to walk. An indoor walking track is a good investment and alternative when inclement weather keeps members indoors or they want to cool down after exercising. Three lanes with a minimum of 10 - 12 laps per mile is desirable. City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 37 of 84 Transparency. Being able to see the building’s activities from the outside and inside are important and highlights the activities. Think like a retailer and bring the “merchandise” or activities to the front. Windows provide building occupants a connection between indoor spaces and the outdoors through the introduction of daylight and views into the regularly occupied areas of the building which also contributes to well-being. Healthy buildings for healthy people. Since we spend 90% of our life indoors, providing a healthy indoor environment is paramount. Striving to incorporate low to no cost green building practices and components is a minimum goal. Members expect good indoor environmental quality that won’t be to hot or too cold, have odors or fumes that cause headaches or poor lighting. (2) IHSA basketball courts/gym @ 16,500 sf + 3-lane walking track, 12 laps/mile @ 5,500 sf = 22,000 sf Public-Public and Public-Private Partnerships. Going alone as a facility operator is becoming a thing of the past. Public/public and public/private partnerships are becoming the norm. The key to a successful partnership is the early involvement of both agencies during the design process to provide a well-designed facility. City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 38 of 84 Multipurpose Rooms. The rule of thumb on this space is the more the better. It’s become more and more important to provide different size spaces that have the ability to expand and contract to accommodate a multitude of activities and programs. Keeping spaces flexible and non-dedicated increases their generating revenue potential.

This information compiles results for age, gender, race, ethnicity and household income of City of McHenry residents and compares the data to state and national statistics. Demographic projections from ESRI give an outlook through 2017. Recreational trends are explored at the local and national levels to direct future planning. Methodology Demographic data used for the analysis was obtained f rom Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI), the largest research and development organization dedicated to Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and specializing in population projections and market trends. All data was acquired in September 2013, and reflects actual numbers as reported in the 2010 US Bureau of the Census and demographic projections for 2012 and 2017 as estimated by ESRI. The City of McHenry, IL was utilized as the demographic analysis boundary. Age Segment and Gender Age segments appear to remain relatively constant with a slight decrease in ages 15-19 and 35-54 and the greatest decrease occurring for ages 45-54 by 2017. The greatest increases by 2017 will be ages 55- 74, a testament to the aging baby boomer population. From a program and services perspective, this suggests a need to expand services for the active adult population. Overall, males represent 48.7% of the population and females represent 51.3%.

The data reflecting the national trends stem from a statistically valid survey which over 38,000 online responses were compiled and analyzed. These surveys were then weighted against a total population of 283,753,000 ages 6 and up. The following variables were used: gender, age, income, household size, region, and population density. Overall, many activities are experiencing a slow increase and/or decline due to the recent poor economic conditions, including those that have a cyclical pattern. However, a few activities have made a foothold and are increasing in participation. In general, the survey reveals the following: • Fitness sports remains the most popular physical activity and includes activities such as yoga, boot camp-style training, and other classes • Increased participation among a number of key sports and activities • An expressed desire to increase the amount of travel done for participation in favorite sports and recreational activities • Aspirational activities show a desire and demand to participate in the coming year • An expressed desire to participate in favorite sports and recreational activities with some areas showing an increase in spending which is encouraging • Niche sports such as racquet sports show a slight increase • Significant opportunities to engage inactive populations in swimming and working out • Smart phone apps for fitness and nutrition recording In particular, the categories of participation include individual sports, racquet sports, team sports, outdoor sports, winter sports, water sports and fitness sports. As the chart below reveals, individual, team, and winter sports have slightly decreased while water and fitness sports have held steady. City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 51 of 84 Other categories despite their slight decrease have remained steady and are expected to gain participation with the economy. The survey reveals that 76% of Americans have participated in some activity in the last four years; however, the general trend is that Americans have become more inactive with the rate of inactivity increasing from 21.5 percent in 2007 to 23.9 percent in 2011. Inactivity increased among young adults aged 18 to 24 and 35 to 54. Conversely, inactivity rates fell slightly among children ages 6 to 12 from 16.6 percent in 2010 to 16 percent in 2011. This decrease may be a result of efforts towards the fight against childhood obesity. Additionally, for adolescents ages 13 to 17, inactivity fell from 16.7 percent to 16.4 percent which, although modest, is a positive step in the right direction. City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 52 of 84 Increased spending areas will likely be seen in lessons, instruction, and camps (24.5 percent); individual sports events (23.1 percent); and team sports at school (22.8 percent).

The survey points out that an adult who participated in Physical Education while in school is four times more likely to participate in a racquet sport and about three times more likely to participate in team, outdoor, and winter activities, and golf. There is strong correlation that translates casual play into a core activity later in life. In particular, the survey examined the difference between Generation X and Generation Y population. “Generation Y (born 1980-1999) are twice as likely to take part in team sports then Generation X (born 1965-1979). Although much is explained by the age difference, the psychological tendency of Generation Y is more positively disposed to team sports than their Generation X predecessors who are more individual in nature. Generation Y are also more social in their interactions in terms of: • The way they play (gravitating towards team sports) • The way they exercise (including a tendency to participate in group exercise) • The way they communicate (Social Networking, Facebook, Twitter) Fitness sports remained the most popular physical activity. The participation rate has held steady at 60% over the last 4 years. There are also opportunities to engage the inactiv e populations. Swimming ranks as a popular “aspirational sport” for inactive participants ages 6 to 12 and 45 and older. Working out with weights and fitness machines are the top “aspirational sports” for inactive participants ages 13 to 44. The economy has also had a slight impact on sports and recreation spending. While many active people are still not spending money on sports and recreation, more people spent the same amount or increased spending, rather than spending less. City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 53 of 84 In order to increase participation, knowing the trends and what various users groups are interested in participating is crucial. Significant changes in specific activities (both increases and decreases) over the past 2 years are summarized and listed below. This data in extracted directly from the PAC study, 2012, SGMA Participation Topline Report © 2012 SGMA Research. Team Sports Over the last 2 years, there has been a slight rebound in the traditional team sports area. These include decreases in negative growth in baseball (+2%), football (+12%), softball (+31%) and wrestling (+4%). Trending growth in the newer more evolving transplant sports like Lacrosse continue to grow at significant rates. Baseball -6.0% Basketball -1.4% Football -4.0% Ice Hockey 5.6% Lacrosse 29.1% Roller Hockey -13.3% Softball (Fast Pitch) -3.1% Softball (Slow Pitch) -14.9% Wrestling -37.8% Fitness Generally across the United States, the greatest recreation program needs are fitness and wellness. There are various recreation trends that are seen across the country and in the state of Illinois. One common fitness trend that is continuing to grow is the Fitness Bootcamps/Challenges that many agencies offer. These can range anywhere from a 6-week program to a 12-week program. Marketing these programs is especially important as many participants are looking for motivation and appeal when signing up. The Champaign Park District used an acronym, M.A.C. 6, which stands for Make a Change in 6 weeks while the Wheaton Park District used the popular Biggest Loser 12-week Challenge based off of the famous T.V. show. Both titles stand out and will attract readers who are flipping through their program guide. Class based fitness and exercise programs like Zumba continue to drive positive participation performance for these types of fitness activities. Many agencies around the country have moved these classes outside and are using parks as programming space. Several systems have also advertised the availability of park space for contractual instructors to use for various class activities. Another recent trend includes “functional fitness” as reported in the April 22, 2013 New York Times article Gyms Move from Machines to Fitness Playgrounds. Sandbags, ropes and climbing areas are taking over the floor space as part of a functional fitness movement. Companies such as Lifetime Fitness are removing weight machines and are replacing them with open areas of space for people to use as more natural strength training, rather than being locked in a machine. “Fun” fitness is a current trend. Exercises like P90x or Insanity has proven that you don’t need a lot of equipment to look and feel good. These types of classes will be growing in popularity at park districts. New programs such as TRX Suspension training, Hoopnotica Hoop Fitness, Adult Ballet and Tabata, a full body type of training are new trends that seem to be growing popular by demand. These programs City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 54 of 84 demonstrate that participants are always looking for new creative ways to improve their health and fitness levels. Another trend for fitness and wellness is the idea of offering fitness programs for the youth and family. This is a great concept because it encourages fitness at all ages and develops healthy habits at an early age. The Geneva Park District has success in offering Yoga Family Fitness, Fit Kids, and Zumbatomic a new type of zumba for kids ages 4-6 with a parent. Group cycling continues its rapid growth as the younger fitness enthusiasts embrace this high performance group exercise activity. In addition there are group cycling program variations to attract the beginner participant as well. For most age groups, swimming for fitness or weight training are the two most frequently mentioned activities that people indicate they would like to participate in. While Pilates has shown an incredible 10 year growth trend, the past 2 years have seen a decline in participation. Perhaps participation migrated to Yoga, as participation is up across all levels for the year. Yoga is more class based while Pilates is more of an individual activity. The Gen Y fitness participants are showing a higher propensity to go with group oriented programs. Running and Walking for Fitness continue to show strong and consistent growth. Running is up 17% year/year growth. Aerobics (High Impact) 23.4% Aerobics (Low Impact 4.1% Elliptical 14.8% Running/Jogging 17.8% Stationary Cycling (Group) 29.2% Treadmill 5.7% Walking for Fitness 1.7% Abdominal Machine -4.9% Pilates -3.0% Stretching -4.4% Free Weights 11.3% Home Gym 1.8% Weight/Resistance Machines 1.2% Individual Sports Much like the trends for individual fitness participation, sports are showing significant declines across most levels of participation as follows: Billiards/Pool 20.0% Golf -5.2% Martial Arts -24.2% Roller Skating -18.6% Scooter Riding -15.7% Skateboard -16.7% Badminton -4.5% Table Tennis 1.7% Tennis -4.2% City of McHenry Aquatics + Recreation Center Feasibility Study Job No. 50061181 December 11, 2013 – Final Report Page 55 of 84 Outdoor Sports Compared to previous years, outdoors sports have experienced significant increase in participation. BMX has seen the greatest growth with an increase of over 30% in the last two years. Bicycling -BMX 5.4% Camping -10.1% Fishing (fresh) -4.4% Target Shooting 6.5% Adult Programming Many agencies have difficulty expanding their adult programming base. Trends and applications in lifestyle programming for active adults include several areas of interest. Active adults are vitally interested in the social program area, which can include walking and biking clubs. Another growing area for active adults is sports leagues for 45+, 55+ and older. The Schaumburg Park District has taken a unique approach and has created an identity for their active adult section titled Club 55. This section of the program guide is easily identifiable and creates a brand and image for this age group looking for programming. The Champaign Park District has taken a similar approach and titled their program 50 Plus. The Champaign Park District program however, goes a step further and offers discounted program fees or free programs if participants pay the $20 resident membership rate for the program. Aquatics Agencies are no longer building the rectangle lap and lesson pools. In today’s age, the focus on family and an interactive experience are driving these agencies to build state of the art facilities to attract all user types. These include but are not limited to water slides, lazy rivers, zero depth entry, ADA compliancy, separate lap lanes, slash pads and spray parks, and full service concession amenities. An example of such a facility is the St. Charles Park District Otter Cover Aquatic Park. This facility includes: body slides, tube slides, 600-foot lazy river, toddler pool with spray features, splash pad, lap pool, dive well etc. Although built with tax dollars, these facilities are no longer just built to meet the needs of the community. They are now meant to appeal to both residents and non-residents. This requires agencies to be competitive in price as well as how and where they market.

Two different borrowing options; $4.5 million and $7 million. Depending on the City’s ability to fund the debt, three different amortization schedules were prepared with different maturity schedules; 20, 25 or 30 years. Thus, six schedules have been provided. Heller and Heller looked at current market conditions to determine the rate of interest (coupon) that would likely accompany the debt based on the assumption that the longer the maturity of the issuance the more fluctuation there would be I the coupon rate.
