MEMORANDUM
NOVEMBER 17, 1999
TO: CITY COUNCIL
CITY MANAGER
FROM: GARY TATMAN, CHAIR
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
SUBJECT: INDOOR POOL AT SPORTS AND FITNESS CENTER AND
PARK SITE AT SE CORNER OF COM. CENTER COMPLEX
At our meeting of November15, 1999 the Parks and Recreation Commission discussed
priorities for new recreation facilities as they related to the Council's consideration of
capital projects . We wanted to convey our concerns and advice at this time as you
deliberate over these difficult choices.
We recognize now, in viewing the results of recent meetings between city staff and
Sonoma State University, that a partnership with S.S.U. to construct a 50m swimming
pool is not going to materialize. The remaining options to establish that type of pool are
very costly now and in the future in terms of maintenance costs. While a more thorough
discussion of capital projects will take place at the joint meeting between the City
Council and Parks and Recreation Commission to be scheduled in April 2000, we feel
that the highest priority is the establishment of an indoor swimming pool at the
Sports and Fitness Center. During deliberations over the Aquatics Master Plan, we
heard clearly, through testimony and petitions, that the public is interested in this type of
facility. As a reminder, this facility would cost $ 2.6 million.
A 25 yd. by 25 yd. indoor pool would serve all age groups all year round, provide warmer
water and environment for senior citizens and small children on a year-round basis, and
improve the atmosphere and revenues of the Sports & Fitness Center which has very little
to offer entire families. Family fitness centers are a proven positive trend in the fitness
industry and revenue from membership sales often offsets the additional costs of
maintaining a pool. The Center will suffer financially if the city does not keep it updated
with up to date fitness equipment, programming and space for activities for children. The
pool would not be used on a regular basis for swim meets (as contrasted with a 50m pool)
and would not require as much parking on the site compared to a 50m pool. We envision
one or two wintertime meets, which will draw additional revenue to the city from visitors
during a time of year that motels are hungry for business (as opposed to the summer,
when they are already at maximum capacity).
The Commission also feels that, connected to constructing an indoor pool at the S&F
Center. there is a need to expand the square footage of the Center to add activity
rooms for youth and family activities and enhance the benefits of membership to the
Center. The wise design of the Center allows for relatively inexpensive remodeling
under the large eves of the roofline to add rooms for this purpose. Staff could attain a
cost estimate for this clement, if desired.
A swimming pool at this site does raise concerns about parking. The project should
include the conversion of turf areas, to the west of the Center, into lighted parking areas,
adding more spaces to the underused parking lot to the southwest of the Center. A formal
parking study, if authorized, could provide answers to the questions we have on this topic
given the assumption of establishing an indoor 25 yd. pool instead of 50m pool. Staff
could attain a cost estimate for additional parking, if desired.
A discussion of the issue of parking at the Community Center Complex led to how the
City Council views the park site on the SE corner of the Community Center Complex.
We understand that the City Council has considered, for a long time, the use of that
parcel for a park. In hearing the concerns over time about parking at the Complex when
two or more events are occurring, and, more recently, considering the establishment of an
indoor pool at the S&F Center, the Commission recommends that the park site should
be used for additional landscaped and lighted parking for the Complex. Please
consider this as you contemplate the park project. We did not feel a passive park is a
suitable use for the parcel due to the high traffic volume on Snyder Lane, with
accompanying air quality and noise considerations. There are also a large number of
high school students who walk across that site twice daily, so that whatever use the
Council determines is best for the site, it should be able to handle that traditional walking
route of the students. Staff could attain a cost estimate for this element, if desired.
Specific costs on the concepts noted above have not been secured because of the various
options of swim pool, parking and S&F Center remodeling options available. if given
direction by the City Council, these costs can be secured for further consideration.
Thank you for your consideration of this advice from the Parks and Recreation
Commission.

Bond Allocation and Economic Development Discussion
Today the City's Management Team discussed a number of ways to approach the
Council's request for suggested economic development projects. During the discussion it
became apparent that we could not name specific projects which may have greater
economic value to the community over other projects. Nor did we have an understanding
of Council's priorities. Obviously more discussion and greater in-depth planning would
be needed to provide the best information to the Council.
In order to provide the best information on the relative merits of one economic
development project over another a comprehensive approach was decided on. The
comprehensive approach would require at least two-months to plan well. Further, a
comprehensive approach would necessitate the inclusion of input from local sources such
as the business and development community. Based on this discussion the Management
Group developed the following Working Plan.
Tuesday, November 23rd Council Work Session
Introduction
I. City Manager, Netter to discuss the funding sources, Certificates of Participation
and Tax Allocation Bonds: legal and time constraints.
II. City Manager, Netter to provide status report on various current City economic

• Hospital Site lease.
♦ Town Center potential participants: Heald College & State Farm.
• Mountain Shadows Golf Course Improvements.
♦ Expansion of the DoubleTree Hotel.
• Appraisal of City land in the area of the baseball stadium.
• Wilfred Dowdell Specific Plan
HI. Discussion of Staff Work Plan.

development implications.
