Table 6. Estimate of Levels of Service Based on Data Collected and APPA Scores Asset Data Currently, the City holds some asset information in GIS-based point data about parks, open spaces, civic facilities, and rights -of -way. The primary data collected was the location of each area within the City where Parks has ownership and/or work requirements, and the overall acreage. Within this data, available components are listed, such as athletic fields, picnic shelters, or trailheads. Based on field review and staff accounts, the data is accurate but lacks assets that the City added in the past ten years. The asset data also lacks information about components that drive maintenance tasks. However, this existing asset data provides a framework to incorporate additional component data, and this report provides recommendations on how Parks completes the physical asset inventory. To determine the appropriate inventory level or groups of assets, the following elements should be considered: 1. Maintenance requirements 2. Portable vs. fixed systems 3. Financial cost of the asset 4. Criticality (impact to mission if it fails) 5. Preventative maintenance labor required 6. Life safety/regulatory requirements with record -keeping and inspection 7. Commonality of preventative maintenance tasks 8. Similar schedules of preventative maintenance The consultant team recommends a new asset classification system based on landscape management type (listed in Appendix D) that includes additional classification layers beyond the "ownership" and "class" categories originally assigned in the Atlas. The asset data should be organized to align with Lucity's data management and organizational structure capabilities. These new landscape management type classifications are necessary because maintaining one acre of right-of-way is not the same as maintaining one acre of park. The acres of "parks" does not reflect the breadth of scope that Parks is City of Louisville Parks Department January 16, 2023 Summary of Findings Page 22
