Influencing Factors Equity Access Climate change Worker shortage Nationwide lifeguard shortage Innovation in operational efficiencies Post -pandemic desire for larger indoor spaces b Most Difficult Questions of the Process b • What does "equity" mean? • Historically underserved populations. • Immigrants • Lower income families • People who haven't felt welcome using recreation facilities. • Blended families, LGBTQ community members, people with disabilities, people with caregivers, people with specific religious dress. • What does "access" mean? • ADA access into parking, buildings and water bodies. • Inclusive, independent entry and exit of water bodies at multiple points. • Comfort in navigating water in various depths. • Fully compliant locker rooms and pool decks. • Access to location. • Parking, traffic, public transit, bicycle, pedestrian • Payment for entry or program fees. • Which parts of Climate Action? • Water use — pool and bath house uses. • Chemical use • Utilities - Solar or other alternative energy sources How Does Using an Equity Lens Change the Process? • Specific and additional outreach to residents who haven't historically used City recreation facilities. • Historically disadvantaged people of color. • Recent immigrants • Residents whose primary language is not English • Residents in lower income neighborhoods • Residents who have not felt welcome in the past due to their race, income, age, neighborhood, family status, religious beliefs, and/or being a member or ally of LGBTQ community. • Collaborating with community groups who successfully serve residents who identify with these groups. • Weighting responses so as to acknowledge barriers that have quieted some of these voices in the past. • Taking actions that bring equity to recreation services and facilities. Creating facilities that are welcoming to a broader range of bresidents. Community Engagement Community Engagement • 1 - Mercer Park Aquatic Center & Scanlon Gym City Park Pool Robert A.

IJATICS _<<_r5 City Park Pool Recommendations • With a pool that is 72 years old, it is not a suitable long-term investment to continue making intermittent repairs to the facility. • The pool structure is at or approaching the end of its useful life and plans should be made to replace the facility in the future, regardless of future design decisions. • Repairs/replacements could be done by the city to minimally extend the facility life/operation. b "Phase 1 Concept Emphasis - Keeping the Current Aesthetic" • Shade, Deck Space and Space for Chairs. • Shape of fence line to remain similar. Trees surround current pool remain. • Pool building architecture and finishes to remain similar in character. • Pool will remain "flat water" without significant waterpark type amenities. • Diving boards and deep water included. • Provides a mix of 50 meter lap lanes, 25 meter lap lanes and family recreation areas. Exact number of lap lanes to be determined in design phase. • Master Plan Contract only include one concept. b City Park Pool Concept Drawing b ADMIN PARTY ROOM ADMISSION SINGLE USER TOILETS FOR PARK SERVICE DRIVE FILTER BUILDING SOLAR PANELS LAWN EXISTING POOL FENCE LOCATION PLUNGE POOL LAP POOL DROP OFF FOOD TRUCK PARKING BATHHOUSE GENDER NEUTRAL RESTROOMS Wf DECK SHOWERS & LOCKERS ZERO DEPTH ENTRY LEISURE POOL WITH SPRAY FEATURES EXISTING PLAYGROUND LAWN CURRENT CHANNEL CABANA ZONE pARK ROAC. Changes Made Possible with Phase 1 Conceptual Design • Better water access. Elimination of chair lift. Replaced by integrated ramp along lap lanes, permanent stairs into diving well, shallow and mid-range open swim areas and zero depth entry for recreation area. • Decreased amount of water. Does not decrease swimmer capacity. • Critical safety improvements for mechanical areas. • Solar Panels, LED lighting, water saving fixtures. • Creates a facility that meets a variety of swimming preferences while minimizing the number of lifeguards needed for operations. • Provides updated, inclusive, single user changing/shower spaces. b Other Items of Interest - City Park Pool • The $6,000-$8,000 Engineering study was previously completed in 2017. Recommendations followed each year. Pool still losing water. • Timing of Parks & Recreation Commission Recommendation — Commission recommendation was to move forward with Phase 1 recommendations, not final design for any of the facilities. • Phase 1 Public Feedback — Feedback Mechanisms • Tables at Events Throughout Community • Emails to all Pool Pass Holders and Recreation Program Participants • Surveys available at Rec Center Customer Service Desks • Targeted Focus Groups • Statistically Valid Survey • Open Survey and Social Pinpoint Public Comment Site Phase 2 — City Services Open House, Two Public Meetings, Open On - bline Survey, Paper er Comment Forms at Rec Center Customer Service City Park Pool Future Design Considerations (2023/24) • Appropriate number of lap lanes. Length of lap lanes. • Lap lanes as separated area with additional open hours or as part of larger pool. • Mix of pool water depths and location/shape of pool. • Play features — fountains, current channel, slides, etc... b Future Steps - City Park Pool • Public Input and Design Process for City Park Pool — Spring/Summer 2023/24. • Pool Designer/Consultant to be contracted for Design Process. • Public Input: (could be) Statistically Valid Survey, Focus Groups, Public Design Charettes, and Public Comment on Design drafts. • Construction/Renovation of City Park Pool — Summer 2025. b Indoor Facilities -.--,-..-- l----X- - - . - ---• _ ..... ,..---- - ___ -- -....•-.

Lee Community Recreation Center Clarification - Hours of Operation vs. Potential Closure • Lap swim/open swim hours at Robert A. Lee were reduced in 2021 due to low use and lifeguard staffing concerns. This was not a decision of the Master Plan process. It was based on a full year of use data prior to the pandemic. • Operating hours and type of pool use at all recreation facilities change based on program and user demand. The two indoor pools are considered together for programming decisions. • Open swim hours will be added to or reduced in the future based upon actual use of these times. This is typically done at the beginning of each school semester. • Decommissioning or Closure of a facility is based upon a broader context: • Overall use by open swim, lap swim, registered programs and special events. • Cost/benefit of needed repairs and enhancements to continue to meet public needs. • Overall use and needs of recreation and aquatic facilities. • Ability of facility to safely and conveniently meet the needs of a broad range of users. b Robert A. Lee Community Recreation Center Architectural Facility Assessment Review Priority One Findings Natatorium: • Poor wading pool circulation • Deteriorating cast iron pipes, filtration, and pumps • Substandard locker rooms • Remediate rusted structural connections • Rusted door hardware Rec Center: • Water seepage along Gilbert • Provide compliant means of egress (upper & lower level corridor) ADA: • Ramp landing far exceeds max 2.08%, at 3.5% • Restroom sign on wall mounted too low • Sign must be mounted to 48" to 60" of the bottom of the lowest characters b «T Group WILLIAMS ARCHITECTSl4QUATICS Aft Robert A. Lee Community Rec. Center Recommendations • With a pool that is 58 years old, continual repairs will be required to maintain the facility. • Repairs/replacements could be done by the city to extend the facility operation; however, maintaining the aging infrastructure will make it more costly and difficult every year. • The cost of the repairs versus replacing the pool needs be compared to determine which direction should be taken. • Estimated cost of needed repairs $4.5 - $5.04M • Pool remains same shape and depth. • Partial locker room renovation.
