Council directs replacement of plunge pool tiles; cost estimated at $700,000 and included in FY 2025–26 budget
Summary
Public Works Director Elias Sassoon told the council that porous mortar beneath pool tiles requires replacement; the estimated tile-replacement cost is $700,000 and was included in the proposed FY 2025–26 budget. Council directed staff to proceed.
The El Segundo City Council directed staff to replace tiles at the city’s plunge pool after engineers determined aging tile mortar was too porous to leave in place.
Public Works Director Elias Sassoon said the bottom pool tiles themselves did not require replacement during design, but construction revealed that porous, deteriorating tile mortar must be replaced. The tile replacement cost is estimated at $700,000 and, according to staff, is included in the proposed fiscal year 2025–26 budget. Council received the presentation and directed staff to replace the pool tiles.
The action was recorded as direction to staff; the transcript does not include motion language, a vote tally, or contract-award details. The presentation was filed and the projected cost was identified for the upcoming budget year.
