DISCUSSION
Currently the Parks and Community Services Department (PACSD) operates and maintains seven (7)
pools throughout the City at the following park sites Forest, Sylvania, Marine Sycamore Hillside Como
and Kellis Parks.
On August 3 2006 PACSD briefed the City Council on the state of the municipal pools. Staff recommended
closure of all pools, with the exception of Forest Park Pool due to the increased costs incurred in the
operation and maintenance of antiquated facilities and growing competition from private subdivision amenity
centers and other providers of recreational aquatic facilities Staff also made recommendations for aquatic
facility improvements and noted that current trends in municipal aquatic facility development indicate that
traditional pools are being replaced with splash pads This trend is due to reduced construction, operation
maintenance costs incurred and the enhanced recreational aquatic value provided to the public.
As a result of this briefing City Council directed PACSD to proceed with the recommendation to conduct an
aquatic master plan study and design of a prototype splash pad Funding for the study and design of the
prototype was to come from gas lease revenue
In Fall 2006 PACSD went through an RFP process and selected Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to
provide professional services to include the development of a Citywide Aquatic Facilities Master Plan and
the design and preparation of construction documents for a prototypical splash pad which can be duplicated
throughout the City Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc was selected due to their expertise in the municipal
aquatic facility industry Staff considers the fee amount of $214 000 to be fair and reasonable for the scope
of services provided The remaining $10 000 is to be used for project administration expenses.
