CityCouncil | 2011-05-19 | 5 | The Acting City Manager responded that she does not know if the amount can be determined. Councilmember Tam stated the amount to do a complete upgrade was provided; that she would like to nail down the amount that might be needed for a catastrophe. Mr. Shemwell stated that he does not have an answer; a filter replacement that might cost $60,000 could end up being a $350,000 project to bring the system into compliance. Councilmember Tam stated hoping nothing bad happens poses a difficulty when trying to budget. Mayor Gilmore stated neither body knows whether funding would be available. Councilmember Tam stated Councilmember deHaan is suggesting setting aside funds. Councilmember deHaan stated that his contingency suggestion could be withdrawn. Speakers: Mike Janvier, AMA; Don Krause, Alameda Island Aquatics; Ash Jones, Alameda; and Robert Rodd, Alameda. Robert Ploss, Alameda Aquatics Task Force, gave a Power Point presentation. In response to Councilmember deHaan's inquiry whether the County has mandated any repairs, Mr. Shemwell stated all items under compliance issues in the study should be considered a priority; there is not a County Health injunction directing a particular item be fixed. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the Aquatics Task Force would be interested in forming a fundraising foundation; stated the Boys & Girls Club has completed a $9 million project. Mr. Ploss responded the Task Force would love to entertain the idea and has prepared a drawing reflecting the size of the pool desired. Following School Board questions, Councilmember deHaan noted having a 50-meter pool makes sense. Vice Mayor Bonta inquired whether the community supports closing one swim center, to which Mr. Ploss responded the subject is touchy, would have impacts and would require other off site locations. President Mooney noted if there were going to be any closures, the School Board would hold public meetings to address the matter.
