COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Chairperson and Commission Members
FROM: Tim Kelsey, Recreation Manager
SUBJECT: Community Pool Update
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Recreation and Parks commission receive an update on the ongoing
community pool project and provide a recommendation to City Council to be
received at the City Council meeting on March 8, 2020.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Seal Beach currently operates aquatics programs for youth, adults
and seniors at the McGaugh Pool located at 1698 Bolsa Avenue. Programs run
year round and include adult lap swim, youth swim lessons, deep water aerobics,
swim team practices and junior lifeguard prep classes. The current pool was
built in the 1964 and although the City has maintained the facility to best of its
ability and undergone several rehab projects the pool is currently at the end of its
useful life. Also current standards and needs have changed since the pool was
first built.
For this reason the City of Seal Beach entered into a professional services
agreement with a qualified design team led by Westberg and White. In the 2014
the City with Westberg and White performed an extensive community outreach
program. The result of this outreach was that the most desired location for a
future community pool was the naval weapons station along Seal Beach
Boulevard near the Seal Beach Police Station. During a project update to the
Council in January 2020 the City Council asked the staff to continue the
community outreach process to gather more feedback from the community.
As a result of this request the City scheduled 2 public outreach meetings to
provide more detailed information to the community and receive feedback from
the community. As of the time of this report the second meeting has not taken
place and information is not available to provide to the commission. However
staff will provide more detailed information during the oral report as the second
will have concluded at this time.

COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DATE: February 26, 2020
TO: Honorable Chairperson and Commission Members
FROM: Tim Kelsey, Recreation Manager
SUBJECT: Edison Park Improvements
________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Recreation and Parks commission provide direction to staff regarding the
preferred fence to be installed at Edison Park.
BACKGROUND:
Edison Park is a 10 acre parcel located in College Park West on College Park
Drive. The park consists of a tot-lot, basketball court, sand volleyball court,
community gardens, softball field and open play space. The entire park is
bordered by wood bollards that are set in the ground to prevent unauthorized
vehicles from accessing the park. The bollards are made using cut telephone
poles that are set into the dirt. Staff has no record of when the bollards were
installed but the majority of them are showing signs of distress and have aged to
the point that they are mostly ineffective.
In fiscal year 2019-2020 the City Council approved a Capital Improvement
Project to replace the bollards with a new boarder that would be more
atheistically pleasing to park users and residents. Staff has identified 4 options
that will fit within the approved budget. All options are comparable in cost and
appropriate for the approved budget. Samples of the options are listed below 1-
4:

Option 1
Option 2
Option 3

Option 4
Staff is seeking input from the commission to identify the preferred material. It is
however important to note that maintenance staff is most comfortable with wither
painted option as they can cover possible graffiti quicker and would more than
likely have to replace wood on either raw wood option.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Recreation and Parks commission provides a recommendation of the
preferred boarder fence to be used at Edison Park.
