City manager seeks ground-penetration test at tennis courts; council raises pool timing and pump-cost concerns
Summary
City Manager Jim Mavromatis requested an $11,102 ground-penetration radar test at the municipal tennis courts to locate subsurface voids; council also heard updates on pool curing and lifeguard staffing and discussed renting versus buying pumps used to manage CSO bypasses at about $2,100 per day.
City Manager Jim Mavromatis told council Aug. 12 he is requesting a ground-penetration radar test at the tennis courts to identify subsurface voids, and he gave a cost of $11,102 for the test.
Mavromatis said he would meet with Francisco athletics and expects to discuss a 50/50 cost split as has occurred in prior facility partnerships. "The cost of it is 11,102," he said during the administrative report. Councilmembers also discussed the city's swimming-pool schedule: Mavromatis said the pool's 28-day curing period is ending and staff hope to open weekends at the end of August or first week of September, but members questioned whether enough lifeguards could be recruited for limited weekend openings.
Separately, council raised concerns about long-running emergency measures at combined-sewer overflow sites. Members said rental pumps used since May have cost about $2,100 per day, and Mr. Walker asked whether purchasing a pump would be more economical than continuing rentals; Mavromatis said staff would perform a cost comparison and bring needed staff (John Scott) to the next meeting to brief Council.
