Engineering review finds no leak at Frog Pool; splashpad slides need costly maintenance
Summary
An engineering report found no leaks in the Frog Pool foundation, but deferred maintenance was identified for splashpad slides, with an estimated cost of about $20,000 per slide; council asked for steps to ensure ongoing maintenance.
Chairperson Brooke Bartholomew and Councilmember Jeni Losey reviewed engineering reports for the Frog Pool and splashpad. The report found no leaks in the Frog Pool foundation, contradicting a previous staff comment that the pool might be leaking; a stuck float had caused an operational issue. Deferred maintenance was noted on splashpad slides, and officials estimated replacement or significant repair at about $20,000 per slide.
Council members asked staff to describe steps to ensure maintenance of the pool and splashpad going forward and to include budget implications in future reports so that maintenance does not fall behind.
The council did not take immediate action at the Feb. 24 meeting but requested additional planning and budgeting information to address deferred maintenance.
