CityCouncil | 2019-03-05 | 5 | Councilmember Oddie inquired how much time the short term fixes would buy. The Recreation and Parks Director responded until the pool is replaced; stated the DSA is amenable to patching while an action plan with milestones to show progress being made toward a full replacement is provided; continued the presentation. Councilmember Oddie inquired about the 2011 commitment for a long term solution for Emma Hood Pool. The Recreation and Parks Director responded currently, there is not a long term solution between the Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) and the City; stated resources were previously put towards Encinal Swim Center. Councilmember Oddie inquired what will happen to City summer swim programs if a way to fund the repairs is not found. The Recreation and Parks Director responded the summer activities have already been moved to the Encinal Swim Center, causing less time for community swim teams. Councilmember Oddie inquired about the difference between a DSA approved pool on school property versus a non-DSA approved pool on City property. The Recreation and Parks Director responded DSA provides full permitting for a school project versus on City land where a project goes through the Planning Board and City permitting process with plan check; stated DSA also has certain requirements related to earthquake safety and American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements; outlined the DSA process for facilities on school grounds. Councilmember Oddie inquired what the budget surplus was for the previous year, to which the Interim City Manager responded that he did not have the information. In response to Councilmember Oddie's inquiry of where the budget is trending, the Interim City Manager stated the mid-year budget report is coming to Council in two weeks. Councilmember Vella stated the subcommittee would be two designated members of Council and a couple members of the School Board; inquired what the report back process would look like and what issues would be discussed by the subcommittee. The Recreation and Parks Director responded that she would like the process to be discussed by the subcommittee; stated the process has not been fleshed out yet; she is happy to provide a report once a month for the community to hear what is happening; having public meetings related to the updates may be onerous; it would be helpful to have a tight-knit group making decisions; noted final approval of any subcommittee action plan would be approved by each body.
