ADOPT DECEMBER 17, 2003 AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT Adopted as submitted. 3. PUBLIC STATEMENTS 4. NEW BUSINESS A. Review and Committee recommendation regarding potential mayoral appointment to the Keep 'Bakersfield Beautiful Committee Solid Waste Director Kevin Barnes explained the Keep Bakersfield Beautiful Committee (KBBC) favors having a mayoral appointment to its committee. Currently each Councilmember nominates a resident of the City to serve on the committee. The nominations are appointed by majority vote of the City Council. There was discussion regarding the possibility of an eight-member committee having a tie-vote, but due to the nature of the committee's work that did not seem likely. City Attorney Ginny Gennaro advised if this were ever a problem, the KBBC could amend its by-laws to provide for a tie-vote. Committee Member Carson made a motion to amend the current ordinance to include a nomination to the Keep Bakersfield Beautiful Committee by the Mayor to be appointed by majority vote of the City Council. The Committee unanimously approved the motion (Committee Member Benham absent). An amendment to the ordinance will be placed on the April 14, 2004 City Council agenda.

The name that has been chosen is The Park at Riverwalk. This proposed name should be considered by the Committee for approval. B A K E R S F I E L D OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM December 8, 2004 TO: Honorable Mayor and City.Coun/cjil ..~ ///-/ FROM: AlanTandy, CityManager i/// / SUBJECT: Pool Upgrade/ReplacemenfFrogram Several years ago, the Recreation and Parks Department contracted for a code compliance study with regard to our aging inventory of City swimming pools. Their chief concern at that time was that the pools, with the then exception of Silver Creek, were all forty to seventy years old and were becoming increasingly difficult to bring up to acceptable performance standards. The standards are higher today than those that were in effect when the pools were constructed, meaning these pools are now out of compliance with many health code requirements. The study, in fact, showed nearly every pool needs either major rehabilitation or retrofit to be brought into compliance. While the story behind each. of the following decisions is lengthy, a summary of progress made to date would include: New facilities constructed McMurtrey Aquatic Complex Wayside Spray Park Martin Luther King Spray Park (under construction) Jefferson Spray Park (under construction) Planz Spray Park (under construction) Maior Rehabilitation of Facilities Martin Luther King Pool Jefferson Pool (under construction) Honorable Mayor and City Council December 8, 2004 Page 2 Permanent Pool Closures Saunders Pool (not yet demolished) Wayside Pool (demolished and replaced with sprayground) Facilities Not Yet Addressed. Jastro Pool Probably in the best condition of the pools not yet addressed; but historic attendance has been Iow, and with McMurtrey as close as it is, we will be monitoring it next season. It is used as a practice facility by the high school swim teams. Should attendance drop significantly from historic levels due to McMurtrey, it may not be logical to continue its o~oeration. Note: Jastro was not open last summer due to the State revenue capture. Siemon Pool Moderate condition with a starter reservation of grant funds for a major rehabilitation - additional funds needed. Planz Pool Moderate condition with a long-term decision needed on replacement or rehabilitation. Beale Pool Seventy years old. Lowest attendance of all pools opened last year. Conditions on code compliance are so serious that continued operation in its current state is highly problematic. It also needs to be pointed out that much nostalgia surrounds this facility - at seventy years of age it has a lot of history even though current use is minimal. See attached report from Recreation and Parks for more detail. Lessons Learned from Experiences to Date 1. New design issues are critical to success. The older pools in our inventory consist essentially of a rectangular tank with primarily deep water and a shallow end. That is no longer what is popular. McMurtrey, and the experience of it exceeding attendance for all other pools combined last year, shows that the zero entry (shallow water), spray and play elements, and slides far, far exceed in popularity and demand the old rectangular tank pools in our inventory. Honorable Mayor and City Council December 8, 2004 Page 3 2. Spray parks are hugely popular and are comparatively .Iow cost. Both' the Wayside Spray Park and the similar play elements at McMurtrey are extremely popular and well received. They will far surpass in attendance levels what the "tank" pools do in a season, perhaps by a factor of ten times. The pure spray parks are free to the users. Whereas the lifeguards and mechanics at a "tank" pool will cause operating losses of $701000 per season, combined with losses of $10 - $30 per swimmer, the loss on the spray parks is minimal, say $10,000 - $20,000. Sqmmary Comments As we look at the completion of the program to bring pools up to standard, we should bear in mind that reconstructing the tank pools in their present form is not optimal, either in terms of service or cost. Strategically placed competitive pools combined with spray. parks, are both financially advantageous and more user and customer friendly. Attachment B A K E R S F I £ L D Department of Recreation and Parks December 8, 2004 ' .,'I'~ To: Alan Tandy, City Manager From: Alan Christensen, Interim Director of Recreation and Parks'/~ Subject: Scenarios for Beale Pool The physical condition of Beale Pool has worsened to the point that a decision should be made regarding its repair, rehabilitation, or closure. Staff recommends closure of the pool and building a wet playground in its place. What follows is a report on the condition of Beale Pool, including three alternate actions: Condition of Beale Pool Beale is the oldest City pool. It was originally built in 1932. Over the decades, the pool has been modified and rehabilitated many times. The foundational aspects of the pool are old and failing: piping and filtration system, decking, electrical and pool surface. The critical problem with Beale Pool is the lack of "turnover." "Turnover" is the rate at which water circulates completely through the pumping system and pool. By code water should turnover once every 8 hours. The turnover rate at Beale Pool has grown to 12 hours. In September 2004 the Health Department informed us that Beale Pool could not be opened in 2005 unless the turnover rate improved to healthy levels. Their letter is attached. The challenge is that repairs to fix the turnover problem will trigger other code violations that have been allowed to "grandfather." Necessary repairs on piping and pumping systems to improve turnover will require that we also repair the decking and install hand rails and handicapped access lift. Engineering staff estimates that repairs would be at least $600,000. And the repairs would only bandage a very old facility. Maintenance costs at Beale are very expensive because of its old infrastructure and equipment. In FY 03-04, Beale Pool had an operating loss of $70,638, or a subsidy of $18 per swimmer. Beale Pool also had the lowest attendance for recreation swim (4,011)of any city pool in 2004. Swim team and swimming lessons have been promoted at Beale, but there has been no public interest. Because of age, traditional design and .lack of modern amenities found at other pools, we expect attendance at Beale to decrease over time. Beale Pool is scheduled to open in June 2005. But in order to prepare for the upcoming season, a decision about Beale Pool should be made soon. Scenarios for Beale Pool December 8, 2004 Page 2 Alternative Solutions The following alternatives, along with pros and cons for each, are offered for Beale Pool: 1. Close Pool Permanently and Construct a Wet Playground. ICost: $365,0--~ This project includes demolition of the pool and wading pool, and construction ora 3,900 s.f. wet playground completed by summer 2005. This is staff's recommended alternative. Pro - Wet playgrounds are extremely popular with kids and parents, as was shown at the Wayside facility last summer. We received many positive comments, and we saw much more positive, family-related activity at the park. Wet playgrounds provide water activity for longer daily hours (10 am to 6 pm) and a longer season (May through September) than traditional pools. They are also less expensive to operate because no staff supervision is necessary. And wet playgrounds are much less to construct than a new or renovated pool. There is $336,000 of park development funds aVailable inthe Central Zone that could be applied to this project to pay for most of the project. Con - Traditional swimming activities would be unavailable in this neighborhood. Travel to Jastro, McMurtrey, or other facility would be necessary for recreation swimming and swimming lessons. 2. Demolish Existing Pool and Construct an Activity Pool [Cost: $2,280,00(~ The activity pool would be 4,100 square feet, roughly Y2 the size of McMurtrey activity pool. It would include lap lanes and shallow play areas. Design and construction would take in excess of 9 months. Pro - An activity pool would be similar in design and amenities to the south pool at McMurtrey. It is very popular with children of all ages. This alternative would be a long- term solution to Beale Pool. Con - Because of anticipated high attendance, an activity pool in a 7-acre park would have a significant impact on the neighborhood. All parking is on the street, so there is not enOugh on-site parking to satisfy demand at an activity pool. In addition, there are a number of activities at Beale Park, including tennis courts, ampitheater, basketball courts, group picnic area, and playground. Staff is concerned about what the impacts of sound and lighting on the neighboring homes. While a new activity pool would have high attendance, it would also require 25 part-time lifeguards as compared with 13 currently at Beale Pool. Staff estimates that personnel costs would increase by $45,000 more per year if an activity pool were built, due to greater attendance. Revenue from an activity pool would be higher than a traditional pool because of anticipated higher attendance. There is $336,000 of park development fees available in the Central Zone, but no other funding for this project. The area is CDBG .eligible, but those funds are scarce. Even if Scenarios for Beale Pool December 8, 2004 Page 3 funding were obtained, this project' would take six months to construct and could not be completed until spring 2006. An activity pool at Beale would be very close proximity to McMurtrey Aquatic Center. It makes more sense to build an activity pool a greater distance away from McMurtrey, such as further to the south or southwest. 3. Repair Beale Pool. [Cost: $600,00~ Repairs would include replacing plumbing, decking, drainage system, and electrical panels, and constructing ADA wheel chair access. Design, bidding and construction would take about 40 weeks. Pro - Traditional swimming programs would be maintained in this neighborhood if the pool were rehabilitated. Impacts on the neighborhood would not be as dramatic as an activity pool. Con - A repaired pool is a short-term solution that does not solve the.problem. Even after repairs are completed, we expect that more repairs will be necessary within a 2 or 3 years. Spending so much to merely repair a 70-year old facility seems an imprudent use of scare resources. Design and construction cycle (completion in Jan. 2006) would cause the 2005 swim season at Beale to be lost. Staff believes that attendance at a rehabilitated, traditional pool will continue to be relatively Iow because swimmers are attracted to modern designs. Again, $336,000 of park development fees is available in the Central Zone, but like alternate #2 no other funding sources are identified. 4. Trying to Buy Time There is a possibility that staff can work with the County Health Department and get permission to open Beale Pool for one more season. That is not guaranteed, and even if permission is granted, keeping it open through the entire season may be problematic. Pro - Gives time for meetings with the neighborhood to consider alternatives. It might give time to raise funds for an alternate to the spraypark. Con - May not work, and if not, it would be without significant warning or notice to the neighborhood. Operating loss of $70,000 and any repairs invested could be used for permanent repairs if not invested in continued operation. At $18 per swimmer, busing to McMurtrey is a far more cost effective alternate. Recreation and Parks staff recommends alternative #1 for reasons stated above.

On ~'uly 28, 2004, an inspection of the Beale park Public Swimr,;ng Pool was conducted. At the completion of' the inspection an Inspection Report was given-to representatives of your Department indicating.problems with the swimming pool that may affect the heath and welfare of the bathers using the swimming pool. Per your request, l am providing the following information that will help clarify some of the items indicated on the Inspection Report: WATER CHEMISTRY/WATER CLARITY Maintain 1.5 - 3.0 ppm disinfectant residual: At the time of the inspection the disinfectant residual was 6.0 ppm. This level.of disinfectant is not detrimental to the bathers using the pool, but it is an indication that City is using more disinfectant chemical than is -needed and that thc continuous disinfectant equipment may need to be adjusted. Continuous recirculation when open and as needed to maintain water clean and clear: Thc rccirculation equipment is run 24 hours per d~y during the swimming season. This is required due to the lack of adequate flow rate needed tn properly k~ep the pool clean. The recirculadon equipment must be sized to meet the m/n/mm requirements of the Califon~a Code of Regulations Section 65525 Re, circulation and Purification System Operation. Turnover rate adequate to ,clean water: The California Code of Regulations Section 65525 Recirculation and Purification System Operation and the current California Building Code Section 34124B - Turnover Time, require, "the recirculation and purification system shall have sufficient capaelty to provide a complete turnover of pool water in:...six hours or less..."

If new recirculafion equipment is installed, a six hour remover rale would be required (322 gpm). RepaLr.ofthe existing equipment would require a turnover rale of at least 241 gpm. POOL CLEA~N'LIN~SS .. Din: Excessive dirt on the bottom of the pool.

'.~ ~ ~,~ FROM: Alan Christensen, Assistant City Manag~-1:'~?;~ RE' Aquatics attendance evaluation Attached are the attendance statistics for all city pools for 2003 and 2004 summer seasons and the zip code survey for the McMurtrey Aquatic Center for 2004. The results were interesting and provided us with a great deal of information that can be used in planning for the next summer season. The following are some of the highlights: · The zip code survey clearly shows that our biggest users for the McMurtrey Aquatic Center came from the 93304 and 93307 zip codes. · Our smallest group of users came from the 93314 and 93311 areas, presumably because these users live closer to Silver Creek and NOR pools. · Patrons came from all areas of the city and we received very few complaints about the distance. · Although we only had five pools in operation in 2004 compared to eight in 2003, we experienced an overall increase in attendance of approximately 30,000. · Attendance at McMurtrey accounted for approximately 71% of the overall 2004 aquatic attendance. · Attendance at all existing city pools remaining open in 2004 showed significant decreases in attendance from 2003. · Beale pool had the lowest attendance of all pools in 2004 with only 4,011 all summer. · Some of the decrease in attendance at other pools may be attributed to the increase in admission fee from $1 to $2. However, our lowest attended pool, Beale, remained at $1. McMurtrey is $3.. · Some participants attending MLK or Jefferson may have opted to attend McMurtrey for $1 more due to additional amenities.

In the short term, the parks division could modify its typical shrub trimming procedures in designated locations to .allow for existing large shrubs to grow taller and wider. This would be achieved by only trimming the face of shrubs to keep them off of the sidewalk. The top, back and sides of shrubs will be allowed to grow to create more of a screen against the wall. This would, however, result in a less manicured look and may result in complaints from the public. In the long term, the parks division is coordinating with planning and public works staff to revise the planning commission resolution that gives staff guidance in approving wall and landscape concept and construction plans. Some of the topics that have been discussed but not implemented include: Masonry block walls will be required to be smooth faced as opposed to fluted, split face or stucco as is currently allowed making graffiti removal easier. · Smooth faced walls may be required to be sealed with a UV resistant product, again making graffiti removal easier. · The frequency of pilasters may be increased to break up the flat surface. · Requiring a denser'planting of evergreen, rapid growing shrubs achieving a minimum height of 6' at maturity along 60% of the wall. · Vines covering walls was discussed but is not a desirable option. The parks department has a history of problems with this type of wall treatment that include rat infestation, wall damage, and encroachment into private property and adjacent sidewalks. Unfortunately, it is anticipated that some of the changes necessary to discourage graffiti will result in higher maintenance cost to control plant material. For example: · Shrub beds are more labor intensive to maintain than turf beds so having more shrub beds will increase maintenance cost. · Shrubs that grow six feet high also grow about 12 feet wide. Most of our planting strips are only six to eight feet wide so keeping plant material off of sidewalks will be a continuous battle. · It is more labor intensive to trim larger shrubs than small ones and they generate more clippings that must be disposed of off site. p:graffitiACF
