1. Aging Infrastructure
• Buildings 30–60+ years old with worn structural, roofing, and finish materials.
• Moisture damage, dry rot, and general deterioration common throughout.
2. Water & Drainage Problems
• Roof leaks, poor site drainage, and missing rain leaders causing rot and settlement.
• Deferred waterproofing and sealant maintenance worsening conditions.
3. Accessibility Deficiencies
• Non-compliant doors, restrooms, corridors, absent braille signage and accessible parking spaces.
4. Outdated Building Systems
• Aging plumbing, electrical, and HVAC equipment at end of life. • Inefficient fixtures and lighting not meeting current code.
5. Code & Safety Gaps
• Seismic and electrical upgrades needed to meet current standards. • Limited emergency lighting and outdated safety controls.
6. Deferred Exterior Upkeep
• Peeling paint, cracked concrete, corroded railings, and overgrown vegetation.
7. Energy Efficiency Opportunities
• Need for LED lighting, dimming controls, and improved insulation. 9 Evaluation Criteria
Priority 1 – Immediate / Critical Repairs
These items address life-safety concerns, active water intrusion, structural deficiencies, and code compliance issues that pose an immediate risk to occupants or could result in significant deterioration if not corrected promptly.
Priority 2 – Near-Term / Major Upgrades
These improvements are recommended to be undertaken following completion of Priority 1 repairs. They address aging infrastructure, energy efficiency, system modernization, and functional deficiencies that, while not critical, will significantly improve building performance and longevity.
Priority 3 – Long-Term / Deferred Enhancements
These items include non-critical upgrades and aesthetic or programmatic improvements that enhance usability, appearance, and operational efficiency. They can be scheduled as part of future capital improvements or as funding becomes available. 10 Lakeshore Rec Center

Public Safety & Essential Facilities – Fire stations, Police HQ, and Corp Yard buildings must remain operational during emergencies and meet stricter seismic and life-safety standards.
Aging Infrastructure – Many facilities date from the 1960s–1980s with major deferred maintenance and systems beyond service life.
Complex Building Systems – Libraries, Police HQ, and the Golf Clubhouse have specialized HVAC, IT, and public-use systems.
Large Facilities– High total square footage and increases repair costs such as parking garages.
Structural & Seismic Retrofits – Required upgrades to meet current codes are among the most cost-intensive improvements.
Without full study, repairs were put under Priority 2.
