Replastering Costs
Based on the measurements and associated cost to re-plaster Mary Gomez Pool in 2023 ($210,000), The dimensions of the ISC training pool are the exact dimensions as the dimensions of the Mary Gomez pool. Approximately 4 training pools would fit in the lap pool. • Training Pool = Approximately $210,000
• Lap Pool = Approximately $210,000 × 4 = $840,000
• Grand total = Approximately $1,050,000
• The Lap Pool would also need some above water line tile work to be done at the same time as re-plaster at an additional cost
• Given the structural issues related to the Dive Pool, no replastering costs were obtained at this time

Temporary to Permanent Pool Facilities
• Staff was asked to explore the feasibility of a temporary modular pool. The City's consultant (LPA) is exploring the availability, cost estimate and delivery time for such a facility. They will be providing information for both an above ground and in-ground option. It is important to note that both options will require temporary support amenities and will be subject to all design and construction requirements that are required of permanent pools
• City staff wrote and submitted a $2 million dollar request for State funding to support a temporary pool solution. This request was submitted to Assembly Member Evan Low on February 15, 2024
• LPA staff have been working on design options for a permanent solution to serve the City's aquatics needs. The consultant has prepared preliminary designs which will be reviewed with City staff in the coming weeks

Summary
• Significant investment has been made in terms of identifying and assessing possible solutions to address the needs raised by the closure of the International Swim Center • While it may be possible to re-open the ISC pools for limited use, the cost to do so will be significant
• More time is needed to acquire and review the cost implications of the various assessments. Based on the assessments, it is likely that the best-case scenario for limited re-opening of the ISC pools is a minimum of six to nine months based on the availability of contractors and the magnitude of the work required • At this time, the timeline for the remediation of the canopy (and consequently, the re- opening of the restrooms and storage facilities) is unknown • Staff will continue to meet with the swim groups on a monthly basis and will continue to provide updates to the City Council on a regular basis 26 13
