Parks board approves pool contract to forward to Board of Aldermen
Summary
The Pacific Parks Board voted to approve the proposed pool contract and will present it to the Board of Aldermen with the board's recommendation; members noted a modest proposed increase from last year and requested staff follow up on dechlorination testing and related costs.
The Pacific Parks Board approved, by motion, forwarding the proposed pool contract to the Board of Aldermen with the board’s recommendation for approval.
Board members reviewed historical contract payments and noted the proposed contract amount exceeded what the city paid last year. A board member described the increase as “about 1 and a half percent” compared with the previously proposed figure. The board also noted a small lifeguard pay change: lifeguard hourly rates were listed as unchanged while another lifeguard category showed an increase of $0.06 per hour in the contract document presented.
Alderman liaison Mr. Cleve confirmed he had reviewed the contract document. Parks Superintendent Scott Fowler and board members discussed operational items including testing and treatment related to a pool leak; Fowler said additional dechlorination testing is being explored and that cost and feasibility are still being assessed.
A board member moved to approve sending the contract to the Board of Aldermen with the parks board’s approval; the motion was seconded and carried. The board asked parks staff to provide more information to the liaison and to update the board when the dechlorination testing plan and any related costs are known.
The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript for this motion; the meeting minutes show the motion carried.
