Item Discussion Who Due

1 Corrections to Public Workshop Notes: Item 2. Change to read “…chest to chin depths 5’ to 7’-0”… “; and

“…exercising on a side slope greater than 1:20 is difficult…” Item 3. Delete the comment “The temperature setting has evolved…” Items 8, 12. Add “High ceilings and operable windows are desirable only

if compatible with energy efficiency and security priorities.” Item 11. Should read “…wide benches with backs in the locker rooms

and transfer benches in showers…” Follow up email comments to Nita from “Dori”, attached. (Pool User

Reps to come to the next meeting with a response to Dori’s question? (“Who will be using the facility that we are planning?”)

2 Aquatics Budget Trending Down. This study should anticipate the acquatics budget will continue to shrink. Efficiency in staffing, energy and operations are all important. A smaller lobby would not require a dedicated staff person. Layout should assume 2 staff to operate the entire facility.

3 Cost Recovery. Any utility costs will be an increase over the current operation, since BUSD now covers all utilities. Assume roughly a 50% cost recovery goal. (Note: ELS’s scope does not include operating cost analysis.)

4 Surcharge for Multiple Pools? The incremental cost for 2 pools over a single pool is insignificant: -- around $8-10,000 for an extra pump and heater. The filtration is the same. Extra staffing may be needed to assist in access in 2 locations, but at the same time separate pools would allow shutting down of 1 pool during low usage periods.

5 Program Growth Opportunities. Full day scheduling and parking would be attractive to recovery rehab and other new daytime programs. Parking will also serve to enhance income opportunities. Parking is outside the scope of the current program, but parking needs should be addressed in the final report, to inform negotiations w/ BUSD.

6 Plan Options. The 5 attached plans were presented. The preferred plan is closest to A.2, except with modifications to allow steps both as a sitting place

and steps as a pool entry. Expand the “L” to allow a space for (SNAP) programs as well as for socializing.

7 Accessibility Options. While detailed design is not within the scope of the current feasibility study, the Task Force expressed its strong desire that pool side and gutter edge detailing should provide for finger holds and hand holds at every opportunity. It was also the opinion of the Task Force that a wet ramp was unnecessary, but that this would be revisited during a later detailed design phase.

8 Disability Commission. The preferred plan will be presented to the Commission for info on July 11, 6:30, but not yet to the public.

9 Next Task Force Meeting: June 13, 11:00 AM. ELS will present a final draft of the Preferred Plan and a first draft exterior elevations and sections. Email beforehand to Mark Hendrix for a conference call connection.
