Summary

Staff recommended refurbishing two spiral slides (quotes ~ $24,650 and $26,000 for steps) and considering a full replaster of the pool vessel (estimated $40k–50k) versus annual piecemeal repairs; commissioners asked for a breakdown of the aquatic line item.

Dan presented detailed proposals for the Beerman Family Aquatic Center, including vendor quotes for slide and step refurbishment and options for replastering the pool vessel. He read Fisher Brothers line items showing slide repair at about $24,650 and decking/step restoration at about $26,000, and told commissioners that doing the full plastering in one visit might be more cost-effective than annual piecemeal repairs.

"Those do get inspected, so that's gonna have to be done at some point," Dan said, describing inspections and vendor work. Commissioners suggested trimming or dividing the proposed $150,000 aquatic line item so councilors can consider higher-priority safety- and inspection-driven repairs first.
