MEETING DATE: June 5, 2013
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive report on resolution of the Public Works Emergency
requiring the immediate repair of the Blakely Pool circulation
system.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On April 3, 2013, the City Council made a finding that a public works
emergency existed at the south pool at the Blakely Park pool
complex, due to a massive leak (8,000 gallons per day) suspected
in the circulation system. The council authorized the City Manager to execute a contract with Paragon
Pools in an amount not to exceed $20,000 and begin repair work as soon as possible. On May 1, 2013,
the City Council declared the emergency continues to exist, as repairs had not been completed, and the
City Council made the same declaration on May 15 2013. -
Repairs were completed last week at a cost of $17,500. Three leaks below -ground leaks were detected,
including one that had created a significant void beneath the concrete pool deck. In addition, one of the
circulation pipes had collapsed. A large portion of the circulation system was being replaced because of
this damage. The 50 -year -old -plus metal circulation system was replaced, and the pool deck removed for
the work was replaced by new concrete tied into the existing deck with rebar.
