Form B-52 7/18/91 DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation DATE: 8/13/2007 STAFF CONTACT: James Komata PHONE: 961-8531 A. REQUEST: To amend Ordinance 07-83, as amended, the Capital Improvement Projects budget, to create a new appropriation in the amount of $250,000 entitled "NAS Swimming Pool Renovations". B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): The NAS Swimming Pool is in dire need of repairs throughout the facility. The swimming pool basin's exposed concrete floor surface is thoroughly worn exposing aggregate to swimmers' bare feet causing discomfort and generating many complaints. The exposed concrete also jeopardizes the structural integrity of the pool's embedded reinforcing and watertightness of the pool basin as concrete is a porous material. The pool's circulation system is also antiquated in that it lacks a perimeter gutter system that would contribute to proper skimming, filtration and circulation of the pool's water and provide for adequate treatment and cleaning of the water. The pool's return water system and pumps also need to be replaced due to age and recurring problems. The pool house roof is deteriorated due to extreme rusting and there are leaks in several locations. The NAS Swimming Pool is primarily and regularly used by seniors and youths hosting programs such as water aerobics, learn to swim, swim lessons and other programs of P&R's Aquatics Division. The facility is also used by the Fire Department for various training operations for recruits and other needs. The facility provides a vital and important service to the community and the repairs are necessary to prevent an unnecessarily long and unplanned closure due to any failures or safety issues. ~~~u e~~ SIGNED: DATE: Au ust 13, 2007 epartment Head County of Howari is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer
