Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired about the Mastick Senior Center, to which the Controller responded Mastick is also now completely fee based. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether $15 million for construction of a sports field and swim center should be considered an annual deferred cost. The Controller responded the unfunded CIP list was created for a five year period to represent unfunded annual maintenance items as well as unfunded one time projects. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired about funding the Alameda Point Gymnasium and Pool versus funding the other two pools. The Recreation Director responded the City is working with the School District on short and long term solutions to address pools, which is the immediate focus; stated the Alameda Point project has been on the list for quite a while and would focus on the gym; the pool cannot be rehabilitated.
