Budget Impact Overview:

N/A: Funded: Un-funded: Amount: Fund(s):

Summary/Background
On March 17, 2025, Jeremy Burch, Business Representative for Stationary Engineers Local 39, representing City staff, met with the City Manager to discuss revisiting certain provisions of the employee contract agreement. On March 25, 2025, the City received a proposed Side Letter Agreement seeking to modify and clarify specific terms of the current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), effective July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2026. The Side Letter formally requested the City re-evaluate the employee salary range, callback/standby pay, wastewater treatment plant operator license pay, and consider an equity salary increase.

Following multiple meetings, in-depth discussions with the Mayor, Mayor Pro-Tem and the City Manager, and an in-depth budget review by the Finance Department, the City Manager and Stationary Engineers Local 39 reached agreement on several of the proposed changes. Represented City staff will receive a base salary increase of 2% (the annual July CPI adjustment) and a 2% equity increase rather than the originally requested 8%. Additionally, the existing 11-step salary structure will transition to a 6-step model, the existing model based on 2.5% step increases and the new model based on 5% step increases. Standby pay will increase from $3.00 to $4.00 per hour for assigned standby time.

All other items outlined in the Side Letter will be reconsidered during the next contract negotiation cycle.

Conclusions and Findings
The City received a report from its negotiator and, in closed session, approved the attached memorandum of understanding negotiated with the Union to move forward for an official vote at tonight’s Council meeting.

Customer approval will be required before any additional work is started.

Conditions of the Proposal
The project will be scheduled and worked on a straight time, normal working schedule of eight hours per day, Monday thru Friday, excluding holidays. This proposal is based on prevailaing wage rates.

The customer will provide all necessary water and usable electrical power. Heating, ventilating and air-conditioning equipment supplying the work area must be shut off. Parking spaces for one (1) vehicle must be provided near the work area. This proposal is subject to change and may be withdrawn if not accepted within thirty (30) days of this date.

A basic mold inspection by an MI&T inspector includes a full visual assessment of a property's readily accessible areas with use of specific tools of our trade in order to identify any possible "red flags" that could be causing a mold growth problem. It also includes the collection of 2 air samples. The first must be taken from outside and serves as a "control," every home or business has "normal" levels of mold and this will determine what is acceptable for a property in your area. It also shows that all the equipment/supplies used were working properly and makes our results legally binding. The other air sample is taken from the area inside the home or business that the inspector and client agree is the area of greatest concern. These 2 air samples will determine whether or not elevated conditions exist at the property in question.

Advanced Mold Testing:

For those that wish to confirm the source of a mold problem and receive specific instructions for remediation, additional mold testing is necessary. We offer surface samples via tape lift/swabs and in-wall cavity air samples to accomplish this task. When an inspector finds something specific that they believe is compromising the indoor air quality of a property, he will suggest one of the above samples mentioned. If the problem shown by the general air sample is the same seen at the localized testing location, we can not only confirm that is the source of a problem, but also offer exactly what you need to do in order to fix it. If the problem area is large enough, multiple samples may be suggested to establish precisely what has been contaminated. Additional general air samples are also beneficial to determine how far an air quality problem has spread.

To whom it may concern,
Based on the findings of the visual inspection and lab results of samples collected during the inspection, it is our professional opinion that elevated mold conditions do exist at the property.

Elevated Mold Conditions Exist: NO
Professional Mold Remediation Recommended: YES
CHOOSING A MOLD REMEDIATION COMPANY:

It is important to understand there is a difference between a general remodel and a mold remediation.

Later in this document we will lay out recommended remediation steps. This protocol should be carried out by a restoration company/technician with both education and experience dealing with mold. While some general contractors are prepared to complete a mold remediation properly, the majority are not equipped to carry out all the recommend steps unless restoration is a focus of the business. Failure to complete all of the steps may result in lingering indoor air quality problems or even worse, the mold problem returning entirely.

Many of our clients turn to us for a recommendation on what company to use for the mold removal. In an effort to stay separate from the restoration process and help our clients with this process, we have compiled a list of reputable companies in your area. MI&T is not affiliated with these companies. If you have a negative experience with one of them please inform us and we will re-evaluate their placement.

Requirements to be listed: IICRC Certified, Properly Licensed, Insured, No Unclosed BBB Complaints, Positive Online Reputation.

# of air samples taken: 6
# of surface samples taken: 0
Recommended Samples NOT Submitted: Swab samples of the kitchen and water heater closet.

Areas of Concern: Air samples were collected from Garage A, Garage B, the kitchen, both bathrooms, the main room, and the radio storage room. Laboratory analysis confirmed normal mold levels in all areas tested, indicating no elevated airborne mold spores at the time of inspection. However, based on the extent of water damage observed in the kitchen and bathrooms—particularly to the subfloor and cabinetry—professional remediation is recommended to address potential hidden mold growth and prevent further deterioration of building materials.

Additional Notes: During the inspection, multiple areas throughout the property exhibited signs of water damage and potential mold growth. In Garage A, the ceiling showed visible water damage with a small amount of mold growth, likely resulting from a roof leak. On the exterior, the soffit displayed water damage, and the adjacent gutter was found to be bent, possibly contributing to the water intrusion. Inside the kitchen, the cabinetry showed discoloration and swelling consistent with water damage from a leak.

The water heater closet had water damage at the lower portion with suspected mold growth due to prolonged moisture exposure. In the bathroom, the flooring displayed discoloration and deterioration indicative of water damage. Additionally, a large section of flooring in the kitchen leading to Garage B Item 8A70
was visibly stained and warped, suggesting long-term moisture issues in that area.

Recommendations:

Have a licensed roofing contractor inspect and repair the roof above Garage A to stop further water intrusion.

Replace or repair the bent gutter and any damaged soffit to ensure proper water drainage away from the structure.

Investigate and repair the source of the leak affecting the kitchen cabinets, and replace any waterdamaged cabinetry.

Inspect the water heater and plumbing for leaks; remove and replace water-damaged materials in the closet and treat the area with an anti-microbial solution.

Identify and correct the source of moisture affecting the bathroom floor, and replace the damaged flooring.

Investigate the moisture source near the kitchen and Garage B transition area, address any issues, and replace all affected flooring and assess the subfloor for hidden damage or mold.

Ensure all repaired areas are thoroughly dried, and consider using dehumidifiers and professional remediation as needed to prevent further mold growth.

If your advanced mold testing report came back showing elevated levels of mold, it should have a supplementary test(s) confirming the source of a problem. This report should have detailed findings for each additional sample taken. When a test indicates a problem, we identify which remediation steps must be performed at that area. Below you will find a more detailed explanation of each of those steps. If professional mold remediation is recommended, this work should be carried out by a mold removal professional that is trained and has the equipment necessary to complete each task as instructed. Please do not attempt to handle this work on your own. Doing so puts your health and the health of other occupants of the property at risk.

Description of Work Area If Necessary: Although laboratory air sample results indicated normal levels of mold in all tested areas—including Garage A, Garage B, the kitchen, bathrooms, main room, and radio storage room—visible water damage was documented in several locations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. In my professional opinion, despite the current air quality, mold remediation is necessary due to the extent of water intrusion and the potential for hidden or future mold growth within the affected building materials.

Recommended remediation procedures include establishing proper containment and maintaining negative air pressure in the work area. All contaminated drywall and insulation should be removed at least 12 inches beyond any visible mold. Structural components should be thoroughly cleaned and treated with an anti-microbial solution, and all horizontal and vertical surfaces should be HEPA vacuumed and wiped Item 8A80
down. Air scrubbers should be operated continuously for 48 to 72 hours throughout the remediation process. It is strongly advised that clearance testing be performed before any reconstruction begins to verify that the remediation was completed effectively. Additionally, it is imperative that the source of moisture or water intrusion is identified and repaired to prevent recurrence of mold growth.

#1: Vacating the Premises
Vacating people from the adjacent spaces is usually only necessary for a large/widespread problem but is also recommended for individuals with reduced immune systems, elderly, infants, recent surgery patients, people with chronic inflammatory lung disease or individuals with respiratory health concerns. #2: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Full-face respirators are to be worn.

Gloves are to be worn to remove all infected building materials.

Disposable Tyvek coveralls covering both the head and shoes shall be worn. #3: Containment of Each of the Contaminated Area
Complete isolation of the work area using plastic (6 mil poly) sheeting sealed with tape.

If a containment area blocks the only entrance, vacating the property is usually recommended during remediation.

If the problem is widespread and the entire property needs remediation, no containment is necessary.

This area should be large enough to house any contaminated materials Sealing with plastic sheeting (6 mil poly) all ventilation, ducts/grills, fixtures and other openings. #4: Negative Pressure Used
Use an exhaust fan with a HEPA filter to generate negative pressurization (ventilating to the outdoors). Use the appropriate sized unit for the space. The air exchange rate must be six times per hour. #5: HEPA Vacuum
Any area that is in the same area of contaminated materials should be HEPA vacuumed, starting at highest point and working down to the floor.

Any area that is contained should be completely HEPA-Vaced.

This should be done before AND after removing contaminated materials.

If the entire property is contaminated, the entire property needs to be HEPA-Vaced. #6: Applying Biocide
Apply biocide to visible fungal growth prior to removal of material. Wait thirty minutes before removing the material. This provides sufficient time for the biocide to disinfect the material and reduces the dust generated because the material is wetted.

This should be done before AND after removing contaminated materials #7: Removal and Discarding of Contaminated Materials
Remove infected drywall, insulation and building material least twelve inches past any visual mold.

All debris should be double bagged in 3 mil contractor bags twisted, goose necked and sealed with duct tape.

The sealed bags are to be wiped clean with the appropriate disinfectant in the containment before transport to the disposal area.

Item 8A82
There are no special requirements for the disposal of moldy material. Moldy materials that are bagged can be disposed of with other general waste.

All contaminated materials should be wrapped in plastic and sealed with tape before being taken out of the containment area through the unaffected areas for disposal.

Sometimes building material, furniture, flooring, etc can not be evaluated until it has been jarred from its location.

For cases like this, the mold remediation company hired should be trusted to give an honest evaluation. #8: Restoring a Damaged Item
If an item such as kitchen cabinets, clothing, furniture, etc were damaged you should have a yes/no answer to whether or not your item can be restored
How this needs to be done is dependent upon the item in question. Wood may require sanding, clothes a simple rinse in the wash, etc.

Some items like cabinets may appear to be salvaged, but after they are removed the damage is worse than our inspector anticipated. Trust the mold professional you hire for advice on whether or not something can be restored. #9: Final Cleaning
After the contaminated material has been removed, the contained area is to be HEPA vacuumed again.

If any visual mold is seen on studs HEPA sand affected area.

In the event that an item cannot be restored it must be replaced, even if it is building material.

The contained area is to be wiped down with a biocide and/or detergent solution.

The contained area is to be HEPA vacuumed again.
#10: Air Scrubber(s)
Multiple air scrubbers should be used for properties with a widespread problem and no containment area. How many should be a decision trusted in the hands of the mold remediation company hired.

An Air Scrubber should be placed in each containment area for 48-72 hours. #11 Air Duct Cleaning
Every mold remediation should be completed with a thorough cleaning of the HVAC system and air ducts.

Sanitize/Disinfect air handler coils.

Sanitize/Disinfect all duct work
#12: Final Inspections
Prior to containment removal and re-occupancy of the space a certified mold inspector should do a visual inspection and air sampling. Air sample should be taken both within the containment and in an adjacent area to insure spores have not spread to other areas.

After passing post remediation testing you may choose to apply a sealant around studs.

Containment removal and re-occupancy shall occur when space passes appropriate verification testing. #13: Containment Used During Reconstruction
After the work area has passed clearance testing, the enclosure can be used to contain the dusts generated by sheetrock sanding and taping activities. This is done to reduce the clean up when reconstruction is complete.

Comments:

Spore types listed without a count or data entry were not detected during the course of the analysis for the respective sample, indicating a raw count of <1 spore.

The analytical sensitivity is the spores/m3 divided by the raw count, expressed in spores/m3. The limit of detection is the analytical sensitivity (in spores/m3) multiplied by the sample volume (in liters) divided by 1000 liters. *Colorless,other Brown are spores without a distinctive morphology on spore traps and non-viable surface samples. **Background debris is the amount of particulate matter present on the slide and is graded from 1-5 with 1 = very light, 2= Light, 3 = Medium, 4 = Heavy, 5 = Very Heavy. The higher the rating the more likelihood spores may be underestimated. A rating of 5 should be interpreted as minimal counts and may actually be higher than reported. ***Ulocladium has been recognized by the International Mycological Association to be equal to Alternaria and so they are reported as one.

Fungal Descriptions
Alternaria sp.

Aw - 0.89. Conidia dimensions: 18-83 x 7-18 microns. A very common allergen with an IgE mediated response. It is often found in carpets, textiles and on horizontal surfaces in building interiors. Often found on window frames. Outdoors it may be isolated from samples of soil, seeds and plants. It is commonly found in outdoor samples. The large spore size, 20 - 200 microns in length and 7 - 18 microns in sizes, suggests that the spores from these fungi will be deposited in the nose, mouth and upper respiratory tract. It may be related to bakers' asthma. It has been associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

The species Alternaria alternata can produce tenuazonic acid and other toxic metabolites that may be associated with disease in humans or animals. Common cause of extrinsic asthma (immediate-type hypersensitivity: type I). Acute symptoms include edema and bronchospasms; chronic cases may develop pulmonary emphysema.

Ascospore
A spore borne in a special cell called an ascus. Spores of this type are reported to be allergenic. All ascomycetes, members of a group of fungi called Ascomycotina, have this type of spore. The minute black dots on rotting wood and leaves or the little cups on lichens are examples of ascomycetes; another is the "truffle" mushroom.

Aspergillus/Penicillium
These are two of the most commonly found allergenic fungi in problem buildings. Aspergillus comes in many varieties (species). Many of the varieties produce toxic substances. It may be associated with symptoms such as sinusitis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, and other allergic symptoms.

Penicillium is a variety of mold that is very common indoors and is found in increased numbers in problem buildings. It also has many varieties, some of which produce toxic substances. The symptoms are allergic reactions, mucous membrane irritation, headaches, vomiting, and diarrhea. Due to the morphological similarity of Aspergillus and Penicillium , they are not differentiated by microscopic analysis and are reported together.

Aspergillus sp.

Aw 0.75 - 0.82. Reported to be allergenic. Members of this genus are reported to cause ear infections.

Many species produce mycotoxins that may be associated with disease in humans and other animals.

Toxin production is dependent on the species or a strain within a species and on the food source for the fungus. Some of these toxins have been found to be carcinogenic in animal species. Several toxins are considered potential human carcinogens. Common cause of extrinsic asthma (immediate-type hypersensitivity: type I). Acute symptoms include edema and bronchospasms; chronic cases may develop pulmonary emphysema; may also be associated with sinusitis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, and other allergic symptoms.

Doc 16.0 Rev 2 12/27/19 Page 6 of 15
Item 8A90
Aureobasidium
Aureobasidium pullulans is a ubiquitous and generalistic black, yeast-like fungus that can be found in different environments (e.g., soil, water, air, and limestone). It is well known as a naturally occurring epiphyte or endophyte of a wide range of plant species (e.g. apple, grape, cucumber, green beans, cabbage) without causing any symptoms of disease. A. pullulans has a high importance in biotechnology for the production of different enzymes, siderophores and pullulan. Furthermore, A. pullulans is used in biological control of plant diseases, especially storage diseases.

Chronic human exposure to A. pullulans via humidifiers or air conditioners can lead to hypersensitivity pneumonitis (extrinsic allergic alveolitis) or "humidifier lung". This condition is characterized acutely by dyspnea, cough, fever, chest infiltrates, and acute inflammatory reaction. The condition can also be chronic, and lymphocyte mediated. The chronic condition is characterized radiographically by reticulonodular infiltrates in the lung, with apical sparing. The strains causing infections in humans were reclassified to A. melanogenum.

Basidiospore
Spore from basidiomycetes. Many varieties are reported to be allergenic.

Bipolaris sp.

Aw 0.93. Conidia dimensions: 7-14 x 5-9 microns. It is parasitic on plants and soft fruits. Found in soil and on house plants and vegetables, it is also known as "gray mold". It causes leaf rot on grapes, strawberries, lettuce, etc. It is a well-known allergen, producing asthma type symptoms in greenhouse workers and "wine grower's lung".

Botrytis sp.

A fungus with large spores that could be expected to be deposited in the upper respiratory tract. This fungus can produce the mycotoxin - sterigmatocystin, which has been shown to produce liver and kidney damage when ingested by laboratory animals.

Cercaspora
Common outdoors in agricultural areas, especially during harvest. Parasite of higher plants, causing leaf spot. Commonly found as parasites on higher plants.

Chaetomium sp.

Large ascomycetous fungus producing perithecia. It is found on a variety of substrates containing cellulose, including paper and plant compost. It has been found on paper in sheetrock. It can produce an Acremonium- like state on fungal media. Varieties are considered allergenic and have been associated with peritonitis, cutaneous lesions, and system mycosis.

Doc 16.0 Rev 2 12/27/19 Page 7 of 15
Item 8A91
Cladosporium sp.

Aw 0.88; Aw 0.84. Most commonly identified outdoor fungus. The outdoor numbers are reduced in the winter. The numbers are often high in the summer. Often found indoors in numbers less than outdoor numbers. It is a common allergen. Indoor Cladosporium sp. may be different than the species identified outdoors. It is commonly found on the surface of fiberglass duct liners in the interior of supply ducts. A wide variety of plants are food sources for this fungus. It is found on dead plants, woody plants, food, straw, soil, paint, and textiles. Produces greater than 10 antigens. Antigens in commercial extracts are of variable quality and may degrade within weeks of preparation. Common cause of extrinsic asthma (immediate-type hypersensitivity: type I). Acute symptoms include skin lesions, eye ulceration, mycosis (including onychomycosis, an infection of the nails of the feet or hands) edema and bronchospasms; chronic cases may develop pulmonary emphysema.

Curvularia sp.

Reported to be allergenic and has been associated with allergic fungal sinusitis. It may cause corneal infections, mycetoma, and infections in immune compromised hosts.

Dreschlera sp.

Conidia dimensions: 40-120 x 17-28 microns. Found on grasses, grains and decaying food. It can occasionally cause a corneal infection of the eye.

Epicoccum sp.

Conidia dimensions: 15-25 microns. A common allergen. It is found in plants, soil, grains, textiles and paper products.

Fusarium sp.

Aw 0.90. A common soil fungus. It is found on a wide range of plants. It is often found in humidifiers.

Several species in this genus can produce potent trichothecene toxins. The trichothecene (scirpene) toxin targets the following systems: circulatory, alimentary, skin, and nervous. Produces vomitoxin on grains during unusually damp growing conditions. Symptoms may occur either through ingestion of contaminated grains or possibly inhalation of spores. The genera can produce hemorrhagic syndrome in humans (alimentary toxic aleukia). This is characterized by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dermatitis, and extensive internal bleeding. Reported to be allergenic. Frequently involved in eye, skin, and nail infections.

Myxomycetes
Members of a group of fungi that is included in the category of "slime molds". They're occasionally found indoors, but mainly reside in forested regions on decaying logs, stumps, and dead leaves. Myxomycetes display characteristics of fungi and protozoans. In favorable (wet) conditions they exhibit motile, amoebalike cells, usually bounded only by a plasma membrane, that are variable in size and form. During dry spells, they form a resting body (sclerotium) with dry, airborne spores. These fungi are not known to produce toxins but can cause hay fever and asthma.

Doc 16.0 Rev 2 12/27/19 Page 8 of 15
Item 8A92
Memnoniella
Contaminant found most often with Stachybotrys on wet cellulose. Forms in chains, but it are very similar to Stachybotrys and sometimes is considered to be in the Stachybotrys family. Certain species do produce toxins very similar to the ones produced by Stachybotrys chartarum and many consider the IAQ importance of Memnoniella to be on par with Stachybotrys. Allergenic and infectious properties are not well studied.

Nigrospora sp.

Commonly found in warm climates, this mold may be responsible for allergic reactions such as hay fever and asthma. It is found on decaying plant material and in the soil. It is not often found indoors.

Oidium sp.

The asexual phase of Erysiphe sp. It is a plant pathogen causing powdery mildews. It is very common on the leaf’s stems, and flowers of plants. The health effects and allergenicity have not been studied. It does not grow on non-living surfaces such as wood or drywall.

Penicillium sp.

Aw 0.78 - 0.88. A wide number of organisms have been placed in this genus. Identification to species is difficult. Often found in aerosol samples. Commonly found in soil, food, cellulose and grains. It is also found in paint and compost piles. It may cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis, allergic alveolitis in susceptible individuals. It is reported to be allergenic (skin). It is commonly found in carpet, wallpaper, and in interior fiberglass duct insulation. Some species can produce mycotoxins. Common cause of extrinsic asthma (immediate-type hypersensitivity: type I). Acute symptoms include edema and bronchospasms; chronic cases may develop pulmonary emphysema. It may also cause headaches, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Periconia sp.

Periconia sp. are found in soil, blackened and dead herbaceous stems leaf spots, grasses, rushes, and sedges. Almost always associated with other fungi. Rarely found growing indoors. Reportedly associated with a rare case of mycotic keratitis.

Pithomyces sp.

A common mold found on dead leaves, plants, soil and especially grasses. Causes facial eczema in ruminants. It exhibits distinctive multi-celled brown conidia. It is not known to be a human allergen or pathogen. It is rarely found indoors, although it can grow on paper.

Doc 16.0 Rev 2 12/27/19 Page 9 of 15
Item 8A93
Rusts/Smuts
These fungi are associated with plant diseases. In the classification scheme of the fungi, the smuts have much in common with the rusts, and they are frequently discussed together. Both groups produce windborne, resistant teliospores that serve as the basis for their classification and their means of spread.

Rusts usually attack vegetative regions (i.e., leaves and stems) of plants; smuts usually are associated with the reproductive structures (seeds). They can cause hay fever and asthma.

Spegazzinia
Spegazzinia species comprise a very small proportion of the fungal biota. This genus is somewhat related to other lobed or ornamented genera such as Candelabrum . No information is available regarding health effects or toxicity. Allergenicity has not been studied. Usually identified on spore trap samples where it is seen every few weeks. (Spores have very distinctive morphology.) May also be found in air by culturable (Andersen) samples if a long enough incubation period is provided so that sporulation occurs. Our laboratory has never found this organism growing on indoor environmental surfaces. Natural habitat includes soil and many kinds of trees and plants.

Sporotrichum
Sporotrichum species comprise a very small proportion of the fungal biota and are most closely related to other colorless hyphomycetes such as Chrysosporium. The only information available regarding health effects are a few rare cases of repeated isolations from respiratory secretions suggestive of bronchopulmonary colonization. No information is available regarding toxicity. Allergenicity has not been studied. May be identified on surfaces by tape lifts, tease mounts from bulk samples, and in air by culturable (Andersen) samples. Many times sporulating colorless fungi are very difficult to identify, with critical structures only very faintly visible under oil immersion magnification. Thus, these isolates may be placed in the category "Colorless, sporulating, ID unknown" on the Andersen report format. Spores do not have distinctive morphology and would be categorized as "other colorless" on spore trap samples. Natural habitat includes soil and decaying wood.

Stachybotrys sp.

Aw - 0.94, optimum Aw ->0.98. Several strains of this fungus (S. atra, S. chartarum and S. alternans are synonymous) may produce a trichothecene mycotoxin- Satratoxin H - which is poisonous by inhalation. The toxins are present on the fungal spores. This is a slow growing fungus on media. It does not compete well with other rapidly growing fungi. The dark colored fungus grows on building material with high cellulose content and low nitrogen content. Areas with a relative humidity above 55%, and are subject to temperature fluctuations, are ideal for toxin production. Individuals with chronic exposure to the toxin produced by this fungus reported cold and flu symptoms, sore throats, diarrhea, headaches, fatigue, dermatitis, intermittent local hair loss and generalized malaise. Other symptoms include coughs, rhinitis, nosebleed, a burning sensation in the nasal passages, throat, and lungs, and fever. The toxins produced by this fungus will suppress the immune system affecting the lymphoid tissue and the bone marrow. Animals injected with the toxin from this fungus exhibited the following symptoms:
necrosis and hemorrhage within the brain, thymus, spleen, intestine, lung, heart, lymph node, liver, and kidney. Affects by absorption of the toxin in the human lung are known as pneumomycosis.

Doc 16.0 Rev 2 12/27/19 Page 10 of 15
Item 8A94
This organism is rarely found in outdoor samples. It is usually difficult to find in indoor air samples unless it is physically disturbed (or possibly -this is speculation- a drop in the relative humidity). The spores are in a gelatinous mass. Appropriate media for the growth of this organism will have high cellulose content and low nitrogen content. The spores will die readily after release. The dead spores are still allergenic and toxigenic. Percutaneous absorption has caused mild symptoms.

Stemphylium sp.

Reported to be allergenic. Isolated from dead plants and cellulose materials.

Torula sp.

Found outdoors in air, soil, on dead vegetation, wood, and grasses. Also found indoors on cellulose materials. Reported to be allergenic and may cause hay fever and asthma.

Tetraploa
Tetraploa species comprise a very small proportion of the fungal biota. This genus is somewhat related to Triposporium and Diplocladiella. The only reported human infections are two cases of keratitis (1970, 1980) and one case of subcutaneous infection of the knee (1990). No information is available regarding other health effects or toxicity. Allergenicity has not been studied. Usually identified on spore trap samples where it is seen every few weeks. (Spores have very distinctive morphology.) Our laboratory has never found this organism growing on indoor environmental surfaces. Natural habitat includes leaf bases and stems just above the soil on many kinds of plants and trees.

Ulocladium sp.

Aw 0.89. Isolated from dead plants and cellulose materials. Found on textiles.

Zygomycetes
Zygomycetes are one of the four major groups of fungi, the others being the Oomycetes, the Ascomycetes, and the Basidiomycetes. Zygomycetes are common, fast growing, and often overgrow and/or inhibit other fungi nearby. Rhizopus and Mucor are two of the most common Zygomycetes seen in the indoor environment. However, others are seen as well, including Syncephalastrum , Circinella , Mortierella , Mycotypha , Cunninghamella , and Choanephora . For further information, please see descriptions of these individual genera.

General terms
Allergen
An allergen is a substance that elicits an IgE antibody response and is responsible for producing allergic reactions. Chemicals are released when IgE on certain cells contact an allergen. These chemicals can cause injury to surrounding tissue - the visible signs of an allergy. Only a few fungal allergens have been characterized but all fungi are thought to be potentially allergenic. Fungal allergens are proteins found in either the mycelium or spores
"Black mold"
A poorly defined term. Black mold or toxic black mold has usually been associated with the mold Stachybotrys chartarum . While there are only a few molds that are truly black, there are many that can appear black. Not all molds that appear to be black are Stachybotrys .

Fungi
Fungi are neither animals nor plants and are classified in a kingdom of their own. The Kingdom of Fungi.

Fungi include a very large group of organisms, including molds, yeasts, mushrooms and puffballs. There are >100,000 accepted fungal species but current estimates range to 1.5 million species. Mycologists (people who study fungi) have grouped fungi into four large groups according to their method of reproduction.

Hidden mold
This refers to visible mold growth on building structures that is not easily seen, including the areas above drop ceilings, within a wall cavity (the space between the inner and outer structure of a wall), inside air handlers, or within the ducting of a heating/ventilation system.

Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds (MVOCs)
Fungi produce chemicals as a result of their metabolism. Some of these chemicals, MVOCs, are responsible for the characteristic moldy, musty, or earthy smell of fungi, whether mushrooms or molds.

Some MVOCs are considered offensive or annoying. Specific MVOCs are thought to be characteristic of wood rot and mold growth on building materials. The human nose is very sensitive to mold odors and sometimes more so than current analytical instruments.

Mold
Molds are a group of organisms that belong to the Kingdom of Fungi (see Fungi). Even though the terms mold and fungi had been commonly referred to interchangeably, all molds are fungi, but not all fungi are molds.

Doc 16.0 Rev 2 12/27/19 Page 14 of 15
Item 8A98
Mycotoxin
Mycotoxins are compounds produced by some fungi that are toxic to humans or animals. By convention, the term? Mycotoxin. Excludes mushroom toxins. Fungi that produce mycotoxins are called "toxigenic fungi.”
Spore
General term for a reproductive structure in fungi, bacteria and some plants. In fungi, the spore is the structure which may be used for dissemination and may be resistant to adverse environmental conditions.

Toxic mold
The term "toxic mold" has no scientific meaning since the mold itself is not toxic. The metabolic byproducts of some molds may be toxic (see mycotoxin).

Hypha (plural, hyphae)
An individual fungal thread or filament of connected cells; the thread that represents the individual parts of the fungal body.
