Committee compiles Swim & Racquet maintenance complaints, will send charging document to operations
Summary
Committee members reported the Swim & Racquet building is in poor condition—dark interiors, worn paint, sticky stall doors, uneven deck boards and slippery flooring—and agreed to prepare a charging document listing repairs and possible renovation for public-works review and the upcoming budget cycle.
Committee members documented multiple complaints and first-hand observations about the condition of the Swim & Racquet facility and agreed to draft and submit a charging document to operations/public works so the items can be considered during budgeting.
Several members described the building as in notably poor condition. One member said they were "kind of shocked about the condition of that building" and described dark, poorly lit restrooms and stalls where doors stick; others reported uneven deck boards, slippery flooring in changing areas and worn paint. Committee members recommended listing specific maintenance items—painting, improved lighting, handrails in restrooms, shower-base repairs, deckboard repairs and attention to slippery surfaces—in a charging document for operations to review and to flag for the next budget process.
A member proposed that, if warranted, a fuller renovation of the Swim & Racquet building be discussed: "perhaps a full renovation of the building be discussed or is this sort of considered?" they asked. The group agreed to collect photos and observed defects, list them in the charging document, and request a response or timeline from public works or the appropriate operations liaison so the committee’s minutes can later record any scheduled work.
The committee emphasized the importance of receiving a formal response from operations so members are no longer left "guessing" about timing. The chair said the committee would circulate a draft charging document and asked members to submit additional items before she finalizes the request. The committee did not vote formally but agreed by consensus to move forward with the charging document and forward it to operations/public works and the budget process for consideration.
Next steps: committee members will send photos and comments to the chair, the chair will draft the charging document listing defects and proposed repairs, and the committee will include the request in its budget-time submissions and await a reply from operations/public works.
