A. Discussion and Committee Recommendation Regarding the Feasibility
of Opening the Planz and Siemon Pools – Tandy / Hoover
City Manager Alan Tandy stated Planz and Siemon pools are part of a series
of pools built in the early 1960s. Several other City other pools have been
demolished or have been replaced with other amenities. Due to the
condition of these two pools, it would be very costly and unproductive to
rehabilitate them. It would be more realistic to replace the pools with another
amenity, such as a wet playground or a skatepark.
Recreation and Parks Director Dianne Hoover stated both pools were filled
earlier this year and contractors were called out to inspect and provide cost
estimates of repairs need. The approximate total cost to open Seimon pool is
$174,464.00. The approximate total cost to open Planz pool is $104,114.00.
Neither of these amounts includes the day to day operational costs. The
combined cost to open both pools is $278,578.00, which is a non-budgeted
expense.
Parks Supervisor Race Slayton stated Seimon pool would require
improvements, including replacements of the main drains, the return lines,
and the scum gutters. In addition the pool pump needs to be rebuilt, and the
pool would need to be sand blasted, primed, and painted. Planz pool would
require replacement of the main drains, rebuilding of the pool pump, sand
blasting, priming and painting of the pool
Committee member David Couch asked if there were any maintenance
districts in the areas where the pools are located or if there is any funding
available in the Capital Improvement Fund to cover the cost to open both
pools.
City Manager Tandy stated there were no maintenance districts in these
areas. He also stated that if the pools are closed and action is taken to
replace them with different amenities, the projects could be funded through
a combination of capital improvement funds and/or park development fees.
Committee member Rudy Salas asked how long it would take to install new
amenities in place of the pools if the Committee decided to proceed with
that kind of action.

City Manager Tandy stated the pools could be demolished and a plan for
replacement amenities could be designed in the next fiscal year.
Construction could begin in approximately two years, providing the
community would be accepting of the change.
Committee Chair Jacquie Sullivan asked if Seimon and Planz pools were the
only remaining facilities not currently being used and if the current pool
pumps were the original pumps. Recreation and Parks Director Hoover
confirmed that they are the only two pools not in use. Parks Supervisor Slayton
stated that the pumps have been rebuilt approximately two or three times.
Committee Chair Sullivan stated that both pools are located in key areas
around the city, and she did not support replacing them with a different
amenity. She requested that staff return with a cost estimate report to rebuild
the pools with a modern aspect.
Recreation and Parks Director Hoover stated Bakersfield College offered their
pool facility to the community in response to the closure of Seimon pool in
2010.
As an addition to Councilmember Sullivan’s request, Councilmember Salas
asked staff to prepare a report with a timeline and cost estimates of various
scenarios including the replacement of the pools at each location, removal
of the pools, but replacing them with a wet playground at Seimon Park and a
skate park at Planz Park, and also adding the new amenities, but keeping a
location for construction of a new pool in the future at both locations.

Memorandum
DATE: July 5, 2012
TO: Raul Rojas, Public Works Director
FROM: Arnold Ramming, Civil Engineer IV – Design Engineering
SUBJECT: Planz Park and Siemon Park Report
Per instructions from the May 3, 2012 Committee Services Committee meeting, staff from Public Works
Department and Recreation & Parks Department have prepared the attached report which will be presented
at the July 12, 2012 Community Services Committee meeting. The report presents the following
improvement options that have been identified for the two parks.
At Planz Park,
• Option A would replace the pool with a modern pool.
• Option B would replace the pool with a skate park.
• Option C would be a multi-year phased improvement. First Phase would replace the pool with grass
and add a skate park. Second Phase, future improvement, would replace that grass with a modern
pool.
At Siemon Park,
• Option A would replace the pool with a splash pad.
• Option B would replace the pool with a modern pool.
• Option C would replace the pool with a modern pool and add a splash pad north of the current pool.
