CITY/SCHOOL DISTRICT ISSUES - CITY PRIORITIES: City Ballot Measure: Recreation & Parks / Pool Location and Preliminary Specifications The Subcommittee discussed the City Council vote last Wednesday regarding the half cent sales tax measure for the June ballot. This special tax will require a 2/3 majority vote and the use for such tax will need to be specifically identified. Such specific projects might include vehicles and a new fire station; pools; Carnegie building; golf course; and/or an all- weather lighted turf field. The Subcommittee discussed the pools, with staff noting that one 50 meter pool costs about $5M. This size allows for 17 lanes and would require about 7 acres (3-4 for the pool and another 3-4 for parking). Alameda High School does not have 7 acres available to accommodate such a swim center. One idea is to have satellite parking with a shuttle to the pool if adequate acreage is not available. The Subcommittee clarified that the pool at Alameda High School is on school district property and does not belong to the City. The Subcommittee discussed the possibility of locating a pool on the former naval base and the difficulties in transporting/shuttling students for physical education classes. The Subcommittee discussed the possibility of hosting meets, noting that parking will be an issue when considering at least 2 spectators per swimmer at such events. The Subcommittee discussed the possibility of building a small hotel to accommodate out-of-area swimmers and families. | SubcommitteeoftheCityCouncilandSchoolBoard/2012-03-19.pdf |
