In 2007, the United States Congress passed the Virginia Graeme Baker Paol and Spa Safety Act of
2007. The Act mandated that all pool and spa drains have anti-entrapment drain covers to prevent
accidental drowning due to entrapment. The Act took effect on December 19, 2008, at which time ali
pools were required to have new drain covers or certification of existing drain covers by an engineer to
ensure that the drains met the requirements of this new federal law.
The City's seven outdoor swimming pools, which are located at: Forest Park, Sylvania Park, Sycamore
Park, Marine Park, Hillside Park, Kellis Park, and Lake Como Park, required the following improvements in
order to open for the Summer 2009 season: replacement of a total of (13}drain covers and certification of
four existing drain covers. The pools at Marine, Sylvania, and Sycamore Parks each have three main
drains that required new covers (nine total}. The pools at Hillside and Kellis Parks each have one main
drain each that required covers (two total}. The Lake Como Park pool has two main drains that required
covers (two total}. All pool drain covers were installed by City staff at a total cost of $7,050.00. The
Forest Park pool has four main drains. Due to the PVC pool liner, the City sought certification by C.T.
Brannon Corp. for the existing drain covers at a total cost of $979.75. All pool drain work was completed
by May 22, 2009 for a total cost of $8,029.75. The General Fund will be reimbursed for these costs using
gas well royalty revenue.
On August 18, 2009, the City Council approved the purchase of a specially equipped 26,000 GVW flat bed
truck fitted with an articulated four section crane (M&C P-11021 }. The unit will be used to handle fallen
trees and root balls that are potential safety hazards and to plant new trees. This vehicle will replace a
1983 model articulating crane truck that is frequently out of service. This is an eligible purchase within the
gas well expenditure criteria because the equipment has a minimum ten year useful life. The cost of the
vehicle was $138,880.00. Gas well royalty revenue in the amount of $111,104.00 from the Park Gas
Lease Project Fund and revenue from the CIP Parks and Community Service Improvement Fund in the
amount of $27,776.00 (fines collected for violating the Tree Preservation Ordinance and mitigation funds}
will be used to reimburse the General Fund for this cast.
The use of gas well revenues derived from mineral leases on dedicated parkland to fund these legal
mandates and equipment replacement purchase is in accordance with the Gas Well Revenue Distribution
Financial Management Policy.

COUNCIL DISTRICT 7 and benefit the entire city.
