When should I use Connections and when should I use Quickr?
Louis Richardson 120000HRWE firstname.lastname@example.com | | Tags:  social-software connections quickr | 12 Comments | 10,209 Visits
Within IBM's social software offerings, we have a couple of great products (Lotus Connections and Lotus Quickr). While on first glance, they may appear to serve similar functions, they each have their own strengths in meeting certain social business needs. You may have heard this question around which one to use or maybe you've pondered this question yourself. If you look feature vs. feature, you could get confused, but it's really not that difficult. Let's take a minute and think about this from another perspective.
I imagine that many of the "techies" reading this can relate to this scenario. A relative calls you…because you work in technology and tells you they want to buy a personal computer and they want you to recommend one. What is the first question that you ask them? "What do you want to do with the computer?" We ask because our recommendation depends on the specifics of what they are going to need. It's not a problem with the variety of computers that are available or the richness of the features. It's not an issue that there isn't enough material and documentation out there that spells out specifically what configurations are better for one use or another. It's only an issue of getting down to the use cases and expectations of the user. And doing so in terms that are easily understood.
While we could develop comparison charts of features, it's really not true that Quickr and Connections may compete with one another. The fact is that Quickr and Connections complement one another. I've been around information sharing for a long time and I have difficulty thinking of ANY company that doesn't need the features of BOTH Quickr and Connections.
But like the PC example above, you have to go beyond the simple feature statement. For instance, "I want a PC to store stuff." That's a content question and if we look at it simply, it's a matter of storage device. But if we go behind the "store stuff" statement, it would beg the questions "What kind of stuff?" and "What do you plan to do with it?" Office documents are one thing. Scanned images are another. Photos, video and multimedia are yet another. Maybe they want to store video games. Each answer could lead you to a different suggestion.
So back to Quickr and Connections. Let's take a similar example. A prospect states, "I want to share files." Both Quickr and Connections offer file management and sharing features. Let's ask the next level of questioning.
"What types of files?"
We get the reply, "You know, Word documents, spreadsheets. Stuff we have out on shared drives and things that are overloading our email system."
So now you can ask, "Under what circumstances are these files shared? And who are they shared with?"
At this point you need to listen to some key answers that would lead you to suggest Quickr or Connections. I've done this often and this is the way I approach this...some may take a different approach...so don't take this as the only way.
I take the approach where
I start off assuming Connections...until I hear something that leads me to Quickr as a solution.
In basic terms, Quickr is well suited for team and project related information sharing. The following are not always true...so again, these aren't rules...just guidelines.
So using the "Assume Connections until I hear something that speaks to Quickr", let's take a couple of examples.
The guidelines above are just one way to help determine the solution to use.
I have also found that the following "generalities" are helpful in describing Connections and Quickr:
Both Quickr and Connections are needed in most organizations and industries. In Manufacturing, the Engineers could have a Connections Community to share ideas, but individual Engineers might have roles and responsibilities to projects managed in Quickr Places. In Banking, Customer Service could be served by a Connections Wiki to share best practices for handling account complaints, but Quickr Places may serve to manage the creation and development of new financial products for their customer base. In Insurance, Claims Adjusters might use Connections Blogs to keep running accounts of home owner claims, but specific Quickr Places could be used to manage specific events, like hurricanes and other catastrophic events. In Retail, Connections Activities could be used to assign tasks to individuals involved in developing store displays, while Quickr Tasks and Team Calendar may be used to manage new store openings.
It's not about a formula that clearly states one solution over another, but like the opening "What kind of PC do I need to buy?" question, there are some requirements that will definitely point in one direction or the other.
While it's not all SCIENCE and it's not all ART, I have actually found it quite rewarding to listen to user's requirements and then work with them to determine the best fit. The main thing is not to commit to a specific approach BEFORE you (and they) figure out what they need. And if you think about your own company, you're probably going to have to admit that your organization probably needs both Quickr and Connections. So you can begin looking toward Connections for your entire enterprise (think about everyone having Profiles, Files and Activities). Then look for key points in information sharing with groups of people to determine best fit for Quickr Places or Connections Communities.

Louis, Thanks for writing this up. I have tried, as have others, to blog about it. Thank You!
Fantastic, I now have credible answers to the oft-asked question "So why are we using one and not the other?"
I completely agree with the client team scenario. Having done this myself as a client rep for mid-market and large accounts, as well as a SW specialist for a competitive territory, for 3 years, I found that Connections provides the organization that I have been searching for 20 years! I was able to get rid of all my post-its, xls files, and note pads, and have everything in a Lotus Connections Activity for an account. And the best part is the collaboration optimization that you get with your sales team members by clicking on just one link to send an update using a pre-formatted email template ~ it is faster than email! And, the best part is if your team members do not use Connections, they still get the key information, and replies go directly to you. People have repeatedly told me with envy how organized I am as a sales rep. Organization and team collaboration saved me a minimum of 1 hour per day!
Excellent blog article Louis. You've just clarified something that has had me scratching my head for a few months. Thanks.
Great summary article! If you - or anyone else checking out these comments - has a file or knows of a posting that shows a side-by-side compare drawn up (say with check marks or x marks in columns of capability - please share w/me. Thanks!
@Matthew Hall. I'll see what I can find...or maybe develop. One of the obvious results of a feature-feature comparison will for instance show "Quickr has blogs. Connections has blogs" "Quickr has wikis. Connections has wikis" "You can store files in Quickr. You can store files in Connections"...you get my drift. The point is "what are you blogging about?" A project team could use a Quickr blog to collect thoughts on a specific project. A community of interest could use a Connections blog to collect thoughts on the interest. Both viable blog uses. One for teams and one for communities. There are some features that are exclusive. Connections has Activities. Quickr has Discussion Forums...etc. I'll see if we have something around that spells these out.
@Louis: Thank you and feel free to post a link to a file - if and when you either find one or kindly create one. Happy New Year and Happy Collaborating!!!
I am still asking me if it is possible for example to directly move/copy a file from Connections to Quickr and vice versa. Should be possible if both products come from one vendor and run on the same platform?
A brilliant post for someone new coming into the social collaboration space ... I am starting to look at integration with both Quickr and Connections into the IBM ECM Repositories (primarily FileNet) and understanding the differences between the two Lotus offers has certainly set me on a good track!
Great post, Louis. Like you, I have met this questions many times.
Similar to you, but slightly different, I usually ask about the
context of collaboration they have in mind, as an easy way to do a
first triage.
Individuals collaborating with individuals? -> Connections
Individuals joining in communities of industries? -> Connections
Teams with a goal -> It depends. Dig deeper, "Louis style".

UMich Confidence Plunges, Biggest Miss On Record As Outlook Crashes
After its biggest miss in four years (following the pre-revision spike to the biggest beat in three years), UMich Consumer Confidence came at 74.5 relative to an 82.0 expectation (biggest miss on record). Hugely down from last month's final print of 82.7, this is the first negative print since July to the lowest since August. Expectations for the future crashed its second largest absolute print on record (-13 to 64.6) to the lowest since Dec 11. In the typical election year we see a rise in hope and confidence into the election and then a drop off after - it seems we are following that path...
Average performance of the UMich Confidence data on election years versus this year...

Who needs confidence when you have the con.
this was the biggest con game in recent history. The UM confidence number I'm convinced was rigged for the president's election. No other number could have been more out of line with reality than this one.
Wait a damn minute here, everything looked rosy in October...
Maybe everyone thought Mitt was going to win and "save" us and therefore the high con number? Or like you said it was rigged, either way we are screwed and maybe the sheep are figuring that out finally.
...not at all. Very predictable from the Chicago political machine.
2.000 U-Mich students are less confident that there will be a new iphone worth spending their student loan on next year ?
whoops, that's bad news...sorry, algos aren't programmed to that
Eat shit GETCO you fucking ass eating crooks.
They are all pissed off in Michigan because they are about to be a right to work state. They might actually have to do something.
Dr. Engali,
Why have right to work? Shouldn't an employer have the right to have all employees join the union?
goes hand in hand with this morning's employment number beat.
So employment situation "much better than expected", but consumer confidence "much worse than expected".
What is "Baffling with bullshit", Alex?
Baffalling me with more BS.. I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
This indicator is inversely proportional to Smith & Wesson earnings. Nuff said!
And I am getting a $4.50/share stocking stuffer from Ruger thanks to a special dividend (which just went x-dividend).
Talk of Administration staff meeting with BATF to encourage them to declare semi-autos "destructive divices" will sky-rocket sales in 2013.
"Talk of Administration staff meeting with BATF to encourage them to declare semi-autos "destructive divices" will sky-rocket sales in 2013."
Is that a joke or do you have a link?
Never mind I found it, some guy with "inside" info here is the vid from fox if anyone is interested
After the election they interviewed folks with brains and jobs instead of folks in the ghettos, shockingly they all agreed the US is not on the right path! Contrary to all the reports done pre election in the hoods and ghettos, who said things have never been better living on welfare!
time the market crash then! youve been hoping this mkt to tank since about January,with "chief redemption officer likely to be busy in November" etc...Needless to say the market is about 5% up and 4 weeks away from then.

They have new rounds of ammo and assault rifles being shipped into Detroit. With that kind of weaponry your bound to have confidence when you go out to get your merchandise.
The thing I like most about Fridays on ZH are the comedic posts like this one.
'Baffle em with bullshit' on steroids, benzo's, and crystal meth from here on out I hope everyone is mentaly prepped for it.
Souring Consumer Sentiment
The UM Con figure has to be one of the biggest cons out there.
Whatever the figure turns out to be, it was done for a reason.
Anyone any idea how much the Fed has printed this year so far?
Wait till the reality of Obama policies set in, there will be pre-emptive firings and retroactive penalties and many more arrests like that Baldwin kid, then guns whipped out on all sides.

ALIPAC: Use The Census To Round-Up and Deport Immigrants
A little over a week ago, we noted that the American for Legal Immigration PAC was desperately trying to raise $11,000 in order to avoid being forced to shut down. Thanks to a last minute donation, ALIPAC took in enough money to keep functioning, which means the organization can now get back to doing what it does best - like demanding that data from the Census "be used to detect, detain, and deport illegal immigrants" who fill it out:
ALIPAC is asking supporters to initiate tens of thousands of calls to Congressional offices asking for a new law that would allow US Census data to be used to detect, detain, and deport illegal immigrants who fill out the 2010 Census.
"Our Federal government has a Constitutional responsibility to enforce our existing immigration laws and those laws state that it is unlawful to encourage or assist an illegal alien to remain unlawfully in the US," said William Gheen. "Therefore, we are asking Congress to pass new legislation to block the Obama administration's current efforts, which are encouraging illegal aliens to use the American Census to steal more taxpayer resources and diminish representation for legal Americans."
"Each illegal alien counted by the census without deportation will take away taxpayer resource allocation and congressional representation from one legal American citizen," said William Gheen. "We want Congress to take action now to authorize and require the use of census data collected to identify illegal aliens, exclude them from the census count for tax resources and Congressional redistricting, and to detain and deport those found in violation of our immigration laws."

The alpha (α) proteobacteria comprise an important group which has contributed seminally to many aspects of the history of life. The origin of mitochondria via the endosymbitotic capture of an α-proteobacteria is well established. There is also strong evidence indicating that the ancestral eukaryotic cell itself may have originated via a fusion, or long-term symbiotic association between one or more α-proteobacteria and an archaebacteria. The symbiosis between α-proteobacteria (viz. Rhizobiaceae species) and plant root nodules plays a central role in the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen by plants. Additionally, many α-proteobacterial species (viz. Rickettsiales, Brucella, Bartonella) are major human and animal pathogens. The α-proteobacteria exhibit enormous diversity in their morphological and metabolic characteristics and they are presently recognized solely on the basis of their branching pattern in the 16S rRNA trees. This group is presently given the rank of a Class or subdivision within the Proteobacteria phylum. Besides their branching pattern in phylogenetic trees, no reliable phenotypic or molecular characteristic is known that is uniquely shared by these bacteria. Described below are a large number of signatures in widely distributed proteins that are either uniquely shared by all α-proteobacteria, or certain subgroups (i.e. families or orders) among them. These signatures provide novel and definitive molecular means for distinguishing α-proteobacteria and its subgroups from all other bacteria. Based on the distribution of these signatures in different α-proteobacteria a detailed model for the evolutionary relationships among α-proteobacteria has been developed. Further, signature sequences in many proteins provide evidence that α-proteobacteria form a distinct main branch of the bacterial tree, which should be recognized as one of the main phylum of Bacteria.

About Hapoel Haifa
Hapoel Haifa Football Club was first established in April 1924 and initially had strong ties to the labour movement. Historically, the club have played their part in an intense rivalry with the other major team from the city, Maccabi Haifa. As well as being a local football rivalry, the derby match has carried extra significance due to the conflicting political ideologies of the two sides' core fan base. Hapoel Haifa are nicknamed 'The Sharks'.
The team have enjoyed some significant success in domestic football, but the team suffered financial difficulties during the 1980s, before being saved from collapse by Ruby Shapira. After Shapira reduced his financial commitments early in the new millennium, the side was bought out by Yoav Katz.
Over the years, the team have collected a number of domestic honours. In 1962–63, 1965–66 and 1973–74, they lifted the Israel State Cup, while in 2000–01 and 2012–13, they picked up the Toto Cup. The 1998–99 campaign marked the side's greatest ever success so far, as they were crowned as league champions for the first time. As a result of their domestic performances, they have entered numerous European tournaments. In 2000, they became the first Israeli team to successfully make it to the UEFA Champions League's third qualifying round, after defeating Beşiktaş. Unfortunately, they were eliminated by Valencia.
Some of the most notable players to have played for the team include Roby Young, Abba Gindin and Yitzhak Englander.
Hapoel Haifa currently play home matches at Kiryat Eliezer Stadium, which they share with their rivals, Maccabi Haifa. The venue, sometimes known as the Haifa Municipal Stadium, opened in 1956 and is able to hold 14,002 supporters. However, in 2014, the club are set to move into the newly built Sammy Ofer Stadium, which will be able to hold a capacity of approximately 30,000.

Is Big Business Ethically Bankrupt? a Boom in Business-Ethics Courses Is Likely in the Wake of the Enron Scandal, but Critics Say These Classes Need to Focus on Moral, Rather Than Political, Correctness. (Nation: Professional Ethics)
Berlau, John, Spun, Brandon, Insight on the News
In the wake of apparently dishonest practices by Enron Corp. executives, and apparent negligence by members of its board of directors, many are asking how people believed to be so smart could have lacked the moral courage to seek and tell the truth. As there is after every financial scandal, a call is being made for more courses in "business ethics" in the leading universities.
"During the 1970s, you had the [overseas] bribery scandals and the illegal political-contributions scandals," notes Kirk Hanson, who in 1978 became the first business-ethics professor at Stanford and now teaches at Santa Clara University. "In the wake of that, many alumni of business schools said, `Gosh, you better start teaching some ethics at the business schools,' and so the business schools responded. Then you had in rapid succession during the eighties the insider-trading scandals, the defense-industry [overcharging] scandals, savings-and-loan scandals. Each of those ratcheted up national interest and business-school interest in teaching business ethics."
According to Hanson, "Enron, today, is only the latest in the string of such scandals, but it is a big one." He expects a boom in business-ethics courses. Others say the way that many colleges teach business ethics could be part of the problem. "Do I think there should be more business-ethics courses? Given the way a lot of those are taught, my answer is probably not," says Eugene Heath, an associate professor of philosophy at the State University of New York at New Paltz, who also teaches the course "Virtue in Business" online at YorktownUniversity.com.
Heath and other critics charge that business-ethics courses spend too much time on public-policy issues such as environmentalism and inequalities of wealth and not enough time examining such personal virtues as truth-telling and integrity that are relevant to the Enron matter. "A lot of business-ethics courses cover topics such as drug testing and privacy, affirmative action, global business regulations. These are interesting and worthy topics, but I don't think they affect as many individuals in their day-to-day lives as do another set of questions," says Heath, editor of the ethics reader The Morality of the Market. "The other set of questions, which is our focus [at YorktownUniversity.com], is on virtues and vices in the everyday business environment."
INSIGHT looked closely at the backgrounds of the executives and board members at Enron, especially at the universities they attended, for clues about their moral education. Some went to Ivy League schools, while others were graduated from state universities. Former chairman Ken Lay received bachelor's and master's degrees in economics from the University of Missouri during the 1960s. Former president and chief executive officer (CEO) Jeffrey Skilling was graduated with a degree in applied science from Southern Methodist University in Dallas in 1975 and then earned a master's in business administration (MBA) from the Harvard Business School. In the 1980s, former Enron chief financial officer Andrew Fastow, who set up many of the company's dubious partnerships, was graduated from Tufts University in Medford, Mass., with a double major in Chinese and economics before earning an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management. Board member Robert K. Jaedicke was a graduate and dean of the prestigious Graduate School of Business at Stanford University. When he testified before Congress in January, he claimed not to understand Enron's deceptive accounting practices.
The era in which Fastow and Skilling were students was one when business-bashing was rampant in academia, particularly in the Ivy League and especially in the Boston area where they studied. "The party line was ... I wouldn't go so far as to say Marxist or socialist, but it was certainly highly critical of capitalism," says Kenneth Goodpaster, who heads the business-ethics program at the University of St. …

Management of Complex Neurologic Disorders in Neurologic Physical Therapy
It is the patient with a rare or complex disorder that often prompts a physical therapist to turn to the literature for guidance. Regrettably, the design of larger clinical trials often excludes those with rare disorders or complex presentation. For these reasons, the investigation of these clinical populations and dissemination of the findings represents a valuable contribution to the literature, serving as a reference point for the physical therapist. This special issue recognizes the important role of evidence in the management of complex or rare neurologic disorders.
We are seeking manuscripts on topics related to complex and rare neurological conditions relevant to neurologic physical therapy. Well-designed studies utilizing single subject design, small sample sizes, and case reports are welcomed.
Please note: this is a competitive call for papers. JNPT receives more submissions than can be published and it will likely not be possible to publish all manuscripts submitted in response to this call. Prospective authors are encouraged to contact the Special Issue Editors: Teresa Jacobson Kimberley (email@example.com) or Michael Schubert (email@example.com) regarding their submission. First drafts will be due June 1, 2016 with electronic publication (ePub)/Medline indexing following acceptance, and target JNPT print publication date of January, 2017.

Ennis is a popular market town, situated at the point where the River Fergus meets the Shannon Estuary in County Clare. It could also be the meeting point of you and one of the Ennis escorts too! The name of Ennis is the English shortened version of the original Irish town name, Inis Cluain Ramh Fhada, 'island of the long rowing meadow', referring to an island in the River Fergus, of which the Franciscan Abbey was build upon.
Places of interest include the monument to Daniel O'Connell, nationalist hero and winner of the 1828 Clare by-elections (located in O'Connell Square), the Ennis Friary, built in 1242 and the St. Columba's Church, renowned for the disestablishment of the Church in 1871 by an Act of Parliment. Of course the River Fergus is also a point of interest as the mouth of the estuary is located nearby.
Want to impress an escort in Ennis with your knowledge of the town? Well, Ennis was once the capital of County Clare, chosen because of its central location and its influence of the Earls of Thomund. The market square of Ennis is still very much thriving, and holds historical significance in the town. Ennis was granted to hold fairs and markets in 1610, and following on some years later, become a manufacturing and distributing centre, of which products were sent to nearby Castleclare for international shipping.
If you wish to take an Ennis escort for a trip back in time, there are several narrow streets from the medieval era in the town centre, displaying a plethora of simple structures built within the last one-thousand years. The site of Ennis Cathedral was donated to the diocese in 1828, however, building was slow progress and greatly delayed by the Great Famine between 1845 - 1852. The cathedral along with its tower and spire, was finally completed in 1874, although sermons were still held during the construction of the incomplete building during the years of its construction.
Near the end of May each year in Ennis, the great Irish Traditional Music event is held, the Fleadh Nua. This event has been held in Ennis every year since 1974, and of course, is the ideal dating venue for escorts in Ennis that love traditional Irish music. Another popular annual event includes the Ennis Trad Festival, held every November.
Ennis is Ireland's first (and only) Information Age Town. A huge government scheme invested in millions to supply residents and schools with computers, and this gave the elderly residents of Ennis a chance to become computer users. Of course, this also meant that more people could view the profiles of the lovely Ennis escorts online too, so now wonder this town is a popular location for escorts in Ennis!
Hotels in the area include: The Temple Gate Hotel, Tulla Road, The Old Ground Hotel Ennis, O'Connell Street, Woodstock Hotel Ennis, Shanaway Road, The Auburn Lodge Hotel, Galway Road and West County Hotel, Limerick Road.
If you wish to book one of the escorts in Ennis, the obvious thing to do is to pick up the phone and call them, right now! If you want to mull on things a while first, you can get to know the persona of one or two of our Ennis escort advertisers on our Escort Ireland Escort Community Forums, one of the most active message board forums on the internet!
Register your free, easy to use, Information Age website today, and interact with an escort in Ennis today.

Recommended Route
Northeast Ridge Route—use of this route will help to reduce impacts to this Fourteener's fragile alpine environment. For detailed route information including pictures, maps, and elevation profiles, click here.
Route Information and Additional Resources
The trailhead is approximately 10 miles from Aspen at the Maroon Lake Campground. Maroon lake road is closed to personal vehicle travel from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM from mid-June to mid-September. At these times, a shuttle bus must be used. Contact the bus company at 970-925-8484 for the latest information on the shuttle.
The trail runs southwest towards Crater Lake (camping is restricted at Crater Lake to designated sites 1-11) and then cuts off south from the Crater Lake trail and climbs Pyramid's northeast ridge. The route up Pyramid is complex, has significant exposure, and contains dangerous loose rock. Loose rock is hazardous not just to the climber but to hikers below.
The above information does not replace the need to consult additional maps and Colorado Fourteener Guidebooks for more detailed route descriptions. We suggest checking multiple resources before departing on any hike. Keep in mind that not all guidebooks list this as a recommended route and that each guidebook's description or route name may vary slightly.
Peak Specific Environmental and Safety Concerns
Do not leave any ropes, hardware or slings along the route. These would be considered "permanent structures" and would be inappropriate for the Wilderness.
Pyramid is one of the most challenging and dangerous Fourteeners. Make sure you have knowledge and experience before climbing this peak.

Bluebird bio will receive up to $4.2 million from the French Muscular Dystrophy Association (AFM) toward continued development of LentiGlobin®. The gene therapy is currently in Phase I/II trials as a treatment for beta thalassemia and sickle cell anemia.
Clinical data published in the September 2010 issue of Nature demonstrated that LentiGlobin has potential to eliminate the need for monthly blood transfusions in patients with beta-thalassemia without the risk of graft-versus-host disease, bluebird bio reports.
The funding consists of an initial $1.4 million in cash as well as up to $2.8 million in credit toward the manufacturing of cGMP clinical trial material at AFM's Généthon research lab. In December, bluebird bio entered into an agreement with Généthon designed to enable substantial advances in the existing manufacturing process of lentiviral vectors for use by both.
Bluebird bio, formerly Genetix Pharmaceuticals, focuses on developing gene therapies for severe genetic disorders, inserting a healthy version of a disease-causing gene using stem cells harvested from a patient's bone marrow. Last year, bluebird bio completed a $35 million series B financing round.
AFM currently funds 36 clinical trials for 30 different genetic diseases including diseases of the eye, blood, brain, immune system, and muscle. That research is largely funded through donations from France's annual Telethon, which raised €95 million (about $132.5 million) in 2009.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJune 18, 2009Reviewer: Ethan in MichiganThis was a really good bar. And it tastes "organic", thanks in part to the wheat grass etc etc. It gives you that feeling of wellness that you are eating healthy. It tastes like a sweetened fresh cut lawn, but in a good whey *pun intended. I really enjoyed it. The reason I marked it down to a four and not a five was because it didn't hold me over too well, so I wouldn't recommend doing what I did and using it as a MR bar, but rather a replacement of those candy Isle goodies.
January 22, 2013Reviewer: Maxine in ArizonaI was a little skeptical about this bar at first. I have a delicate stomach, highly allergic to maltodextrin (not in this bar) and any sugar alcohols (not in this bar), and "prebiotic" fiber (not in this bar). Being on a strict low carb, high protein, low calorie diet, I'm desperate for anything crispy or crunchy. This bar was a wonderful delight, with light crispy crunch, and perfect to carry with me as a MR when traveling cross country and out of country (monthly trips). I waited for 48 hours after first eating this bar to see what gut problems would develop: Nothing! Summary: I've died and gone to Heaven! However, you do want to moo a little, as it does taste a little like new tender grass!

The YMCA won't be running Greenwood's new aquatic center when it opens next year and won't be bringing a facility with an indoor pool and gym to the city for at least three years, if at all.
Last year, the city announced plans to have the YMCA run the city's new pool park, which will feature water slides, a lap pool, leisure pool and lazy river. The center would be located next to a YMCA facility with an indoor pool, exercise room and gym, all in Freedom Park, on the city's southwest side.
But since then, plans for the new YMCA facility haven't moved forward, and YMCA officials questioned the city's plans for the aquatic center, including its size. Recently, YMCA officials told Mayor Mark Myers they wouldn't build in Greenwood for three to five years, while focusing on their Indianapolis projects first, and were making no commitment to build in Greenwood at all.
About six weeks ago, city officials decided to look at another company's proposal to manage the pool.
By hiring a Florida-based division of Counsilman-Hunsaker to work alongside city employees to train lifeguards and concessions workers, develop hiring and safety processes, and manage the aquatic center, the city could save money long term, officials said.
The agreement would allow existing city staff, such as parks and recreation director Rob Taggart, to learn how to operate the aquatic center and then take over managing it at the end of the contract with Counsilman-Hunsaker, if the city chooses, city controller Adam Stone said.
The city has agreed on a three-year contract with the company, with a goal of having the city take over management after that, and possibly keeping the manager Counsilman-Hunsaker hired, Myers said.
Counsilman-Hunsaker also studied the projected attendance, operating expenses and income for the aquatic center, and estimated it would earn at minimum $200,000 less from memberships and day passes than is required to operate the pool.
A management company is needed because parks department employees haven't managed pool facilities as big and complicated as the planned aquatic center, he said.
"They don't feel comfortable handling it. It's much bigger than what they've ever done, and we want to do right it the first time," Myers said.
The city park board agreed to pay the company $75,000 the first year to prepare the aquatic center for opening by hiring and training employees, marketing the pool and preparing manuals, which will provide standard safety procedures and other written rules for employees to follow.
All of the aquatic center workers, including lifeguards and concession stand workers, will be city employees except for the manager, who will be a Counsilman-Hunsaker worker. The company also will be paid about $126,000 total for a three-year management contract and would earn more money if it finds business sponsors to help pay for the aquatic center's operating costs.
The mayor wants to find businesses that will pay to put their names on features such as slides, a leisure pool and the concession stand to help cover $200,000 in aquatic center expenses that fees and memberships aren't expected to cover. The goal was to avoid using tax dollars to pay for annual expenses, officials said.
Counsilman-Hunsaker would be able to recruit national companies to sponsor the aquatic center to complement the city's efforts to find local businesses willing to pay to put their names on slides or other features, Taggart said.
The company came to the city about eight weeks ago and offered to open and manage the pool park, so officials negotiated with the YMCA and Counsilman-Hunsaker to find the best deal, Myers said.
The YMCA was willing to manage the pool park but not develop specialized safety plans and job descriptions and do other start-up tasks, Myers said. The YMCA would bring in training and safety manuals that are specific to their organization, and all of the employees would be YMCA workers. If the city hired the YMCA and the organization chose not to renew its contract, then Greenwood could lose all the employees and written operating procedures, he said.
The city will pay Counsilman-Hunsaker to create the staff organization structure, do marketing for the pool park, train the staff and develop programs to open the park.
The city hadn't agreed on a contract with the YMCA, but under recent negotiations, the city would have paid $45,000 per year for the organization to manage the aquatic center, Stone said. Counsilman-Hunsaker will also set the city up to take over management and charge less over the three years, he said. Counsilman-Hunsaker is charging $126,000 for managing services for three years, versus the YMCA's $135,000 cost. Counsilman-Hunsaker also will earn more money as the aquatic center's income increases, getting 5 percent of gross revenue exceeding $435,000 in 2015.
Counsilman-Hunsaker will start work immediately, preparing job descriptions, safety procedures and policy manuals and developing plans to market the aquatic center, Taggart said.
Construction of the aquatic center started in June, and most of it will be completed by the end of November. The facility is scheduled to open next May.
