PURPOSE: To approve Budget Amendment #8-A for the repair of the space occupied by the
Florence Gray Soltys Adult Day Health Program at the Passmore Center.
BACKGROUND: Recently, surface staining that had the appearance of mold was discovered in
the fitness room of the space occupied by the Florence Gray Soltys Adult Day Health Program
("Soltys") at the Passmore Center. As soon as these stains were identified, the fitness room
was sealed off and the areas of possible mold were contained to ensure the safety of clients and
staff. Air and surface sampling was conducted and confirmed the presence of mold on several
pieces of furniture and on several places on the west and north walls of the fitness room.
Further testing within the wall cavity identified some additional mold. A remediation and repair
proposal was developed by a certified remediation contractor based on the report provided by
the industrial hygienist that performed the air and surface testing.
The underlying cause of the mold in the fitness room is the lack of insulation in the walls that
separate the cold air of the Sportsplex ice rink from the warm air within the Soltys' space. This
means that the wall surface is cool and allows for condensation, and which has created an
environment for mold to grow.
The repair will include:
• Removal and cleaning of the contents of the fitness room.
• Removal of the contaminated sheet rock wall from inside of the fitness room.
• Rebuilding the wall with the addition of insulation to help avoid future issues.
Total estimated project time from the start of construction is one month. Soltys will continue to
provide services during the construction process so every effort will be made to minimize the
impact of construction on the Soltys clients and staff.
