SEPTEMBF.R 3, 1986
City Manager Pete:son reminded the Council that the 1985-86
Capital Improvement Programs include the sum of $215,000
for the design and construction of a seccod swimming pool
in Blakley Park. Construction ($200,000) will be funded
utilizing a portion of the City's Camrrnmity Development
Block Grant funds. Parks and Recreation Director Ron
Williamson has had discussions with people active in the
City's aquatic program concerning this project. Those
talks have resulted in a re -thinking of the scope of this
project. The idea now is that, since the City is expending
a considerable amount of money in this effort,
consideration should be given to modifications and
additions which would make the facility a "competitive"
pool. This would significantly add to the pool's use.
Competitive swim meets could then be held in this pool.
The proposal is that the pool would remain the same size,
25 yards in length. The modifications would include
increasing the minimum depth from three feet to four feet.
The maximum depth would remain at five feet. Other
additions would include side gutter to provide for smoother
water; starting block bases, the lane lines in the bottom
of the pool; "targets" at the end of each lane; and lane
line hooks.
An estimate of the additional costs were presented for
Council's review.
Council was apprised that the Parks and Recreation
Commission's recamm=ae;tico was that the benefits of the
modifications proposed did not justify the additional
expenditure, estimated at approximately $65,000. The
Commission had serious concerns that the added expenditure
would detrimentally affect other Parks and Recceation
Department projects budgeted elsewhere. It was uetenained
that the Commission was not made aware of the fact that
$70,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds hid been
:made available for reallocation as a result cf the
reconstruction of the rest roans on the north side of Lodi
Lake Park being funded via another State grant. This
project was intended to be funded with Co mmnity
Development Block Grant Funds.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed
to Staff. Council, on motion of Council Member Snider,
Hinchman second, then directed the staff to approach the
Parks and Recreation Commission a second time and advise
the Camdssion of the availability of these funds, the 0
question being, would the Commission have voted differently
'► armed with this information. It was requested that the
CamBnission.hold a Special Meeting regarding this matter so
that this may be an agenda item for the Regular Council
Meeting of September 17, 1986.

PREPARED BY: City Manager
j RDOd244ENDED ACTION: That the City Council review the recommended
action of the Parks and Recreation Commission
concerning the Blakely Park Swimming Pool
project and take action as deemed appropriate.
BACKGROUND The 1985 and 1986 Capital DWrovement Programs
include the sum of $215,000 for the design and
constriction of a second swimlaing pool in Blakely
Park. Construction ($200,000) will be funded utilizing a portion of the
City's Community Development Block Grant funds. Parks and Recreation
Director Ron Williamson has had discussions with people active in the
City's aquatic program concerning this project. Those talks have resulted
in a re -thinking of the scope of this project. The idea now is that since
the City is expending a considerable amount of money in this effort,
consideration should be given to modifications and additions which would
make the facility a "carpetitive" pool. This, we are advised, would add
significantly to the pool's use. ompetitive swim meets could then be
held in this pool. Absent the proposed modifications, such meets could
not be held there.
The proposal is that the pool would remain the same size, 25 yards in
length. The modifications would include increasing the minirmnn depth frau
three feet to four feet. The mwd=nn depth would remain at five feet.
The pool equipment, i.e. filtration system, heating system, would ruin
essentially the same. Other additions would include side gutters tD
provide for smoother water: starting block basest tile lane lines in the
bottom of the pool= "targets" at the end of each lanes and lane line
hooks. Staff will be prepared to present an estimate of the additional
cost involved at Wednesday night's meeting. Should the City Council
approve these modifications, the additional monies required could vane
from the reallocation of the City's Co mmmmamnity Development Block Grant
fundis.
The Parks and Recreation Commission will be meeting Tuesday night and has
this item on the agenda. A recommendation from that body will be
presented to the City Council Wednesday night.
