NEXT MEETING: Wednesday, September 22, 2021 COMMISSION STAFF REPORT DATE: June 23, 2021 TO: Honorable Chairperson and Commission Members FROM: Patrick Gallegos, Assistant City Manager Tim Kelsey, Recreation Manager SUBJECT: Community Pool Update SUMMARY OF REQUEST: That the Recreation and Parks Commission receive and file an update on the community pool project. BACKGROUND: The City of Seal Beach operates aquatic 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 pool was originally built in 1964 and although the City has maintained the facility to the best of its ability, the pool has reached its useful life and the facility can no longer sustain the desirable level of service to meet the needs of the community. As a diligent step forward to rebuilding the pool, the City conducted a public outreach campaign in 2014 to solicit feedback from the community to identify programmatic requirements and determine site location preferences. As a result of public participation, the concept of a community pool at the Naval Weapons Station parcel adjacent to the Adolfo Lopez Drive at the Seal Beach Boulevard intersection was identified as a potential option. Subsequently, the new community pool concept and the projected costs were presented to City Council on January 13, 2020. After much deliberation, City Council directed staff to solicit new community feedback to validate interest in moving the project forward. As such, the City hosted two open house events in February 2020, solicited public comments through a designated swimsealbeach(@sealbeachca.gov email address, and presented the findings to the Recreation and Parks Commission meeting on February 26, 2020. Due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the aggregated comments, updated design and cost estimates were not formally presented to City Council. Page 2 At the March 31, 2021, Council Strategic Planning meeting, City Council established an ad-hoc committee to reevaluate the community pool vision and the City's financial objectives. The ad-hoc committee is working on scheduling a meeting date. However, as the project further develops City staff will continue to keep the Parks and Recreation Commission updated. RECOMMENDATION: That the Recreation and Parks Commission receive an update on the community pool project.
