Council has approved moving forward with discussions regarding the addition of a kid’s water playground and 2 family restrooms at the city’s pool facility. In 2016, the City hired Stantec Consulting Services to design a Children’s Activity Pool addition to the City’s community pool that included expanded locker rooms and a family restroom facility. This project was fully designed with LDO approval and shovel-ready plans. At that time, the construction costs were estimated to be $750,000, and the project was slated to be funded with Park Impact Fees. The project was then placed on hold due to its cost and other City priorities at the time with the intent for staff to revisit this project in the future.
In recent discussions, the City Attorney has advised that a family restroom should be constructed at the City’s Community Pool for liability purposes. The estimated cost of a family restroom facility is approximately $200,000. The pool facility is also currently in need of a roof replacement for $45,000. Council has directed staff to reach out to Stantec for updated pricing for the proposed improvements and to move forward with discussions of the project in its entirety as a Capital Improvement Project for the upcoming budget.
