STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JEFF ALLRED, CITY MANAGER
DATE: FEBRUARY 23, 2010
SUBJECT: AQUATIC FACILITIES AT ROSMEAD AND GARVEY PARKS
SUMMARY
Rosemead and Garvey Park Pools have remained inoperable since November 2009
due to a variety of issues. These are the latest in a series of problems at the pools
including safety concerns, inaccessibility, and inefficiency. Over the past ten years,
Rosemead has spent nearly $4.5 million on maintenance, repairs, renovations, and
utilities to keep the pools operational. Currently, repairs at Rosemead Pool are
estimated at $80,000 and $14,000 at Garvey Pool, Given the long term operational
costs and current conditions of both pools, total renovation seems the most prudent way
to address the numerous problems at these aging facilities.
Staff Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Direct staff to make repairs to Garvey Pool, at an estimated cost of $14,000, in
order to conduct a community aquatics program in the City during summer 2010;
and
2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with
Aquatic Design Group in the amount of $58,050 from existing redevelopment
bond proceeds to develop specialized schematic drawings for upgrades to
aquatics facilities at Rosemead and Garvey Pools; and
3. Adopt Resolution No. 2010-16 authorizing submission of an application for
funding for the Garvey Aquatic Center Project through the Statewide Park
Development and Community Revitalization Grant Program of 2008.
ANALYSIS
Current Conditions
As was reported during the February 6 City Council meeting, both pools are in a
significant state of disrepair. In fact, both pools are drained as a result of leaks which
have been determined to be the direct result of re-pipe projects to improve drainage and
filtration in 1999 and 2000. Shifting has occurred beneath the pool beds cracking the

plaster. Approximately 840,000 gallons of water have been emptied from the pools in
order to address the leaks.
Rosemead Pool
This is the fifth time in ten years that Rosemead Pool has been drained to repair leaks
and the second consecutive year it has been closed for a period of several months. At
Rosemead, however, leaks are not the most serious present concern.
The following is a list of repairs that have been completed since November and others
that still need to be done.
Recent repairs ($11,500)
■ Cracks which span the width of the pool temporarily "epoxied"
• Broken 4" recirculation pipe
• Pump baked dry (after submersion following the broken pipe)
Additional repairs needed (estimated $80,000):
• Pool heater replacement (2)
• Wading pool filter leak
■ Inoperable pool lights (14)
■ Inoperable bath house shower heaters
Garvey Pool
Garvey Pool is currently nonoperational due to pool-length cracks in the pool which
have resulted in seepage of water underground and into the make-up water pit.
Additionally, Federal mandates require upgrades to the drain system in accordance with
the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGB). Repairs needed to make
the pool operational are estimated at $14,000. These include:
Dye testing recently conducted to determine source of leaks ($1,000)--cracks
along pool bottom need to caulked
Leak repair to water make-up pit
Federally mandated VGB drain improvements
Deck areas at both pools need grinding to prevent tripping and other hazards resulting
from concrete patches related to previous repairs. Additionally, neither pool is ADA-
compliant, nor have they changed much structurally resulting in high levels of
inefficiency by today's standards. The average annual cost for utilities, over the last five
years, is $199,000. Current problems at the pools are only indicators of their respective
ages-both predate City incorporation.
Reasons for Total Renovations
Given the significant costs associated with keeping the pools operational over the last
ten years and their current condition, staff recommends that City Council consider the
City Council Meeting
February 23, 2010
Page 3 of 5
total renovation of pool and bath house facilities at Rosemead and Garvey for the
following reasons:
■ High cost of non-program operations (City Council recently received data
detailing $4.5 million in operational expenditures since 2000);
■ Frequency of unplanned and unbudgeted projects (City Council was provided a
list of 64 projects required to keep pools open since 2000);
■ Despite a myriad of efforts and significant expense, the pools do not meet current
safety, accessibility, and efficiency standards:
o Extensive list of current problems (City Council received a lengthy list of
concerns at both pools including bath house, pool, mechanical, chemical,
and utility deficiencies during its February 6 tour of pools);
o Rosemead must spend approximately $94,000 to make both pools
immediately operational;
■ It is consistent with goal one of Rosemead's Vision 2020 in the Strategic Plan:
Beautify community infrastructure and improve public facilities.
• Costs for pool construction are currently 30% less than two years ago; and
■ Availability of potential funding including bond proceeds, state, federal, and utility
grants, cost sharing with EMUHSD, and corporate sponsorships.
Proposed Total Renovation Projects
With input from the community (through the Garvey Park and Parks, Recreation, and
General Facilities Master Plan processes) and City Council, conceptual drawings and
cost estimates for pool renovations have been developed. The proposed designs
illustrate Rosemead Pool's potential as a state of the art swimming and water polo
competition pool and Garvey Pool as a complementary aquatic fun park thus creating a
broad variety of recreational and competitive swim options for the whole community.
Rosemead Pool
Given its close proximity to the high school, Rosemead Pool is being conceived as a 14
lane competitive 25 yard by 40 meter pool with the capabilities to be used for water
polo. Its size will accommodate any level of competition through college. Additionally,
space has been included for a lesson and recreational swimming pool and to ensure
that younger patrons have access to a wading pool area. The addition of covered
bleachers and a large shade shelter provide space for the installation of solar panels to
cut energy costs. The shade shelter and adjacent lawn area will serve as picnic areas
for general or rental use.
Garvey Pool
Garvey Pool's design serves to complement, rather than replicate, Rosemead Pool with
a modern aquatic play facility complete with slides, splash play areas, lesson pool, and
shade shelters. Slides are equipped with flumes rather than exit pools to allow the
youngest patrons, with parents, to use them. Splash play areas are conceived with all
aged users in mind. Shade shelters will allow on-deck picnicking, a first for Garvey Pool.
City Council Meeting
February 23, 2010

The pool will still be able to offer recreation swim and swim classes and a variety of
other water play experiences as well.
Both facilities would also include re-designed bath house and deck areas which would
maximize space, employ the latest technologies, and increase recreational and
revenue-generating opportunities. The facilities would feature modern mechanical,
electrical, and water systems which would dramatically increase efficiency and reduce
operational costs. For example, upgrading heating and mechanical systems at both
facilities, adding solar panels to Rosemead Pool, and decreasing water consumption at
Garvey Pool, should save an estimated $60,000 annually.
Further, accessibility to facility amenities would be achieved in accordance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act and general capacities increased to accommodate more
patrons. Deck, plaster, and tile related hazards would be mitigated. Unsafe
infrastructure (i.e., sump pits and chemical storage areas) would be eliminated. The
facilities and surrounding areas would also benefit from improved landscaping.
Projected Costs
Project costs are estimated at $6.755 million at Rosemead Pool and $3.15 million at
Garvey Pool. However, these estimates are believed to be very conservative and staff is
confident that reductions will result from the competitive bid process. Again, it is
important to note that these costs are nearly a third less than equivalent projects
constructed in other jurisdictions just two years ago.
Funding Options
Staff is pursuing a number of funding options for the proposed renovations of the pools.
Currently, the City has nearly $5 million in available bond proceeds. Staff has met with
several firms and Rosemead's Community Development Commission has the bonding
capacity to fund these and other projects with debt service to be paid by existing
redevelopment property tax levies. This would require no new taxes.
Additionally, the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Grant
Program of 2008 (AB 31) provides $368,000,000 for acquisition, development, and
renovation of parks and recreation facilities to underserved communities in California.
The first round of competitive funding calls for applications to be postmarked by March
1, 2010. Staff is seeking Council authorization to submit an application for the full cost of
the Garvey Aquatic Center Project as no match is required.
Further, staff has already initiated discussions with Rosemead High School regarding
cost sharing for construction of Rosemead Pool and future maintenance. Rosemead
High School is very interested in seeing Rosemead Pool modernized as they are
resurrecting their competitive aquatics programs and will need facilities for training and
at which to host meets. The proposed Rosemead Aquatic Center would be the ideal
location.

Lastly, federal, state, and other grants may be available for energy technology that can
also offset project costs and reduce future maintenance expenses. Also, potential exists
to gain funds from corporate sponsorships.
Conclusion
Rosemead and Garvey Pools have served the Rosemead community well for more than
50 years. Rosemead has spent millions of dollars to keep the pools afloat over the last
ten years, but both pools are currently inoperable. Many of the repairs made in the past
ten years have been made repeatedly and some repairs have resulted in other
problems. It appears, therefore, to be more prudent to consider completely renovating
the pools as repair costs have been high and the fixes temporary, construction costs for
pools are at a decade low, and funding may be available from a variety of sources.
Moving forward with the development of schematic drawings and the application for
Statewide Park Development funds do not commit Rosemead to renovation of the
pools.
PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS
This item has been noticed through the regular agenda notification process.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are available in the Parks and Recreation Budget for Garvey Pool repairs.
Additionally, approximately $5 million of redevelopment bond proceeds are available to
cover the $58,050 in costs needed for more detailed schematic design work for the
proposed Rosemead and Garvey Aquatic Centers.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Goal 1, Strategy 5; Goal 2, Strategy 11.
