CityCouncil | 2011-05-19 | 2 | $1,091,000; Encinal: $1,433,000]. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the County has identified items that need to be fixed, to which Mr. Shemwell responded the County has not come out and identified items to be repaired; stated the County could come out at any time and direct that any outstanding compliance issues have to be repaired. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the School District bond measure included any operational or capital funding for pools, to which Mr. Shemwell responded in the negative. Councilmember deHaan stated liability has been discussed; inquired whether both parties are comfortable regarding liability issues, to which Mr. Shemwell responded in the affirmative around the particular drain issues. Following School Board discussion, Councilmember Tam questioned whether slide 3 amounts on operation and maintenance for both swim centers show payments are closer to a 50-50 split, rather than the agreed upon 60-40 split. Mr. Shemwell responded the agreement expired in 2000; stated the pools have been operating on a handshake agreement to continue the 60-40 split; the School District has taken on utility costs and has been billed for 60% of the City expenses. Councilmember Tam inquired whether the District has paid 47% and the City has paid 53% since the Agreement expired, to which Mr. Shemwell responded in the negative; stated the School District took on the utilities and has been billed for operational costs in the last two or three years. The Recreation and Park Director stated the 60-40 split was occurring for both operations and utilities until two years ago when the District staff could not determine whether the meters were separate and agreed to discontinue billing the City for utilities until the matter could be resolved. In response to Councilmember deHaan's inquiry regarding the division of use from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., the Recreation and Park Director stated figures are based on the total hours of operations; during the summer, pools are used from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; use is: 25% for School District programs, such as swimming and water polo, 25% for City programs, such as Swim to Live, and 50% for a variety of non-profits, including children swim teams and adult masters swim. The Acting City Manager noted the City sponsored programs are during the summer and on Saturdays. Vice Mayor Bonta stated since the City and School District both have 25% of the use and the remaining 50% is the community, one fair suggestion would be splitting the Special Joint Meeting Alameda City Council and Board of Education 2 May 19, 2011 | CityCouncil/2011-05-19.pdf |
