Sam Baca Aquatic Center 95% complete; opening dependent on inspections
Summary
City staff reported Sam Baca Aquatic Center is 95% complete, with floors and decks repainted and a hopeful May 30 opening pending inspections; field trips will not be offered this year and membership paperwork is being relocated from the pool to City Hall.
Sam Baca Aquatic Center is nearly finished and could open at the end of May if required inspections clear, Parks Department staff told the Deming Parks Commission.
Ryan Robinson reported the project is 95% complete, that the pool floors and surrounding deck have been repainted and that the opening date will be set once inspections are complete. Robinson said the department is hopeful for a May 30 opening but that “no field trips will be available this year,” and staff are planning to move shooting-range membership records currently kept at the pool to City Hall.
The update described finishing work rather than additional scope changes; Robinson did not provide a final cost or a confirmed inspection date. The commission did not take a formal vote on the opening; no opposition or public comment was recorded.
Next steps for the center are final inspections and administrative preparation for public operations.
