Phil Luckett, presenting the consolidated maintenance annual update, said the department has implemented two new systems and seen measurable improvements in asset condition and throughput. "CAL is basically our new work order system" and, he reported, "the maintenance division had completed 7,213 work orders" between June 16 and Dec. 28.

Luckett said the department also began using the Capital Project Management System (CPMS) for capital expenditures and tracking. He described CPMS as a tool that will eventually offer a map component and improved transparency for capital spending across the city.

On paving, Luckett cited the pavement condition index (PCI) as a key metric. The department’s PCI rose from 64 (fair) to 77 (good), and the share of roadways in 'poor' or 'failed' condition dropped from 27% to 11%. "We now have a our PCI index is a 77, which is in the good range," he said, and noted remaining problem areas (Fort Negley, Shelby Golf Course, 2 Rivers Golf Course) that are scheduled for future work.

Luckett described infrastructure work completed during the period, including pool-house renovations, new restrooms at 2 Rivers, roofing replacements and HVAC upgrades across centers, and an extensive repair of the Stones River Greenway boardwalk. "About $700,000 we spent doing this," Luckett said of the boardwalk stabilization project, which included new footers set to bedrock and engineered reuse for future replacements.

Joe Stovall provided a capital projects update that included Fort Negley Phase 1 entering procurement and contract execution with site work expected to start Feb. 2; Centennial Phase 3 (pavilion and cafe) is about 80% complete; and IDIQ A-E firm contracts awarded Dec. 11 should be available within 30–60 days to support forthcoming capital work. Stovall also said a grant application for the Cedar Hill Miracle Leaf Field was not awarded and staff will pursue alternative strategies.

Board members commended the modernization work and the scale of maintenance activity. The presentation concluded with acknowledgment of long-serving staff: maintenance staffer William Manuel announced retirement after 25 years of service.
