Ingram, City Manager FROM: Steve Myrter, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Aquatic Center Update SUMMARY OF REQUEST: That the City Council approve Resolution No. 6819 authorizing the City Manager to begin exploration of a potential lease agreement with the United States Navy for use of real property at the Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach for a new swimming pool, and authorize the City Manager to issue payment of $70,000 to Navy real estate division for the cost of the Navy's administrative fees incurred. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: The City of Seal Beach currently operates and maintains the public swimming pool located at McGaugh Elementary campus at 1698 Bolsa Avenue. The facility, which was built in 1964, is currently used to host City programs such as swim lessons, water aerobics and adult lap swim. At this time, the pool has reached its useful life and longer meets current health codes and is in need of replacement. In December 2014, the City entered into a professional services agreement with a design team to complete a feasibility study and preliminary design work for a new aquatics center. The design team was tasked with performing an extensive public outreach program to identify the preferred site and desired features for a new facility. At the conclusion of the community outreach portion of the study, there were two sites identified as possible sites for the future home of a new pool. The sites identified were the Naval Weapons Station and the McGaugh Campus (the current location of the City's swimming pool). The City's design team has determined that both sites provide adequate size. However, both sites also present unique challenges. During the City's outreach efforts, the community identified the Naval Weapons Station as the preferred site. City staff has worked closely with representatives of both sites to further develop site plans. In February 2018, the City received notification from the Navy that the City's initial request for land use was approved for the operation, installation and maintenance of a public swimming pool, subject to environmental review and other administrative tasks. With this approval, the City and Navy can now begin Agenda Item K to explore the feasibility of the project and negotiate a long term agreement that would allow the City to place a public swimming pool on Navy property. The prerequisite documents for the agreement will include environmental, survey, and appraisal work. Under 10 U.S.C. 2695 the government is authorized to recover its administrative fees incurred for this type of real estate use. The funding the government is requiring for this work to move forward is $70,000 with any funding not expended being returned to the City. These funds do not include the cost of the land use or any future construction costs. This approval does not commit the City or the Navy to moving forward with a project; it only allows the parties to start the necessary environmental reviews and planning work. The area that the Navy has identified on Base property is off Seal Beach Boulevard between the submarine memorial and the credit union across from the Seal Beach Police Station. The center would have a separate entrance off of Seal Beach Boulevard and not require patrons to enter through the main gate. The area identified is between 8 and 9 acres and provides ample space for a pool and all of the necessary support features including parking. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no environmental impact related to this item at this time, as this request would help fund the environmental study necessary to move forward. LEGAL ANALYSIS: No legal analysis is required for this item at this time however legal will review and approve any agreements related to this item in the future. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of this item will not necessitate a budget amendment, and will authorize the City Manager to make a payment of $70,000 to the Navy from the Swimming Pool Project CIP BG0904. There will be additional costs for staff and consultant work. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve Resolution No. 6819 authorizing the City Manager to begin exploration of a potential lease agreement with the United States Navy for use of real property at the Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach for a new swimming pool, and authorize the City Manager to issue payment of $70,000 to Navy real estate division to recover administrative fees incurred.
