1st Quarter Update January 2023
In Q1, staff evaluated the financial viability of an eleven-lane, 700-seat competition pool in comparison to an 8-lane, 350-seat pool as currently designed. Based on staff's research, it was determined that added costs associated with the additional infrastructure required to accommodate the competition pool would be cost prohibitive. Staff's recommendation to City Council was to continue with the current design of the proposed facility. In Q1, the City completed 90% schematic design of the new facility and approved a contract for the Construction Manager at Risk firm that will be responsible for constructing the approved design.
