r G)6) o ...~ e 11/22/68 ! Mr. Lauris moved seconded by Mrs. Hayward to accept the preliminary plans and raise the necessary $106,930 for financing. I Councilman Lassen asked if there is any alternative - whether a portion of the pool can be constructed now and the additional length constructed later. Mr. Berry said it probably could, although difficult to accomplish. Councilmen Anderson and McNutt and members of the Advisory Committee urged completion of the entire pool at this time. The City Manager suggested constructing a smaller community building at Amazon Park to make available about $140,000 from the balance of the bonds authorized - $750,000 _ to be sold in April. Mrs. Lauris moved seconded by Mrs. Hayward to accept the plans as presented with the recommended deletions and transfer $106,930 from the April bond sale to complete the financing. Councilman Lassen expressed concern about elimination of the wading pool. He said its elimination would preclude use of the entire facility by families with small children. Representatives of School District 52 appeared concerned about delay in construction of the pool and urged its rapid completion. The Manager explained the change in con- dept occasioned the delay for designing. Mr. Berry said that with approval now the pool could be under construction in June 1968, with probable completion in June 1969. e Mrs. Lauris moved seconded by Mrs. Hayward that the wading pool be included and the plans accepted and that $5,325.00 in addition to the $106,930.00 be transferred from the April bond sale to complete the financing. Motion carried unanimously. I Mr. Lassen moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris that Item 2 of the Committee report be approved. Councilman McDonald recommended that a top figure of $608,000 be considered for the swimming pool. The City Manager said the total estimated cost is $585,000 with the deletions recommended, .and that it could be worked out within the $608,000 figure. Councilman Purdy commented on the increased cost over the originally considered 25-meter pool and asked if there will be ample parking to accommodate competitive meets. The City Manager said parking was discussed with the School District people and ample space will be made available. Mr. Berry said that since the estimate of $470,000 was given for a 50-meter pool, they were asked to consider other items such as extra depth for a diving tower, wading pool, radiant heat, etc. He said the present cost estimated is based on accurate drawings, he doesn't anticipate any great variation, and any changes which could affect the budgeted amount would be brought to the Council's attention. . Mr. Lassen moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris to approve the preliminary plans at a total estimated cost of $585,913.00 including $5,325.00 for a wading pool, and less $4,200.00 to be assumed by School District 52 for interior radiant heat slab.
