A RESOLUTION OF THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL
DEEMING CERTAIN WORK TO BE OF URGENT NECESSITY
PURSUANT TO THE CITY CHARTER FOR REPAIR OF THE
MCGAUGH POOL
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE:
Section 1 . For many years, the pool located at McGaugh Public School has
been open to the public. Residents of the City of Seal Beach and surrounding
communities have used the pool for decades. The City has recently received
reports that the pool has been leaking. The City contracted with independent
consultant Commercial Aquatics Services, Inc., a licensed California contractor,
to perform and analyze leak detection test of the pool facility on March 27, 2010.
As stated in the accompanying staff report dated April 12, 2010, the leak
detection testing has identified leaking in the following areas: expansion joint;
surge pit; filtration system; fill pipe; heater bypass piping; and two skimmers.
Thus, the pool is leaking at a high rate and requires immediate repairs to remain
functional.
Section 2 . The pool is currently not in compliance with the Virginia Graeme
Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act ( "VGBA "). The VGBA requires that all pools and
spas in the United States be equipped with anti - entrapment devices on all drain
covers. As of July 1, 2010, the Orange County Health Care Agency ( "OCHCA ")
will enforce the VGBA. Non - compliance with the VGBA can result in the closure
of pool facilities as OCHCA has indicated its inspectors will enforce compliance
through conducting their regular inspections.
Section 3 . The City's 2010 summer program is scheduled to begin on June
21, 2010.
Section 4 . On March 24, 2010, the City's Parks and Recreation Commission
voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council support pool repairs as
necessary to comply with the VGBA and keep the pool open through summer
programming.
Section 5 . Based upon the foregoing, and based upon the record, including
but not limited to the staff report and public comment, and in accordance with
Section 1010 of the Official Charter of the City of Seal Beach, the Council deems
that work, supplies and materials needed for the repair of the pool are of urgent
necessity for the preservation of life, health or property and hereby authorizes the
City Manager to let contracts for such repair without advertising for bids.
