City/SLUSD Liaison Committee Highlights November 7, 2007 Page 2 2. Discussion Re~arding~Project Management for San Leandro High School Parking Lot City Manager Jermanis presented the concept of the City taking over project management for the high school parking lot. This would work in a manner similar to the City's management of the Bancroft playfield project. The advantages are effective City management and less expensive project management costs. Vice President Cassidy mentioned that the school district had a "Wage stabilization project" requirement. The City and district staff will continue looking into this concept. 3. Discussion Re arding 9th Grade Campus Gymnasium City Manager Jermanis stated that the City has been working with the school district on design of the 9th grade campus and gymnasium. There are certain upgrades that the City wishes to have incorporated into the project. Some of the costs of these upgrades maybe appropriate for the Redevelopment Agency to contribute towards. In addition, the group discussed joint development and use of the gymnasium by the City during non-school hours. Board Member Hague commented that Pleasanton and the Pleasanton schools do many joint use projects which are beneficial to that community. The group expressed general support to continue looking into and negotiating on project enhancements and City joint use of the new gymnasium. 4. Discussion Re ardin~ San Leandro Hi,~h School Swimming Pool City Manager Jermanis reported that the City would no longer maintain the high school swimming pool, as the City had costs of approximately $70,000, but was only receiving $30,000 from the school district. Facilities Managers, Mike Murphy and Greg Dyer gave an update on the pool's condition. The most pressing need is for the pool to be re- plastered. This would cost approximately $70,000, of which the Drowning barrel's have promised to provide $25,000. Much of the pool's plumbing and pump system. have recently been replaced, however, the decking and the work should also be looked at. Recreation Manager Cronin commented. that the Aquatics Task Force had rated the high school competitive pool as high value, particularly if improved access with the new parking lot is provided for the public. There is general consensus for the school district and City staff to investigate improvements to the high school swimming pool, including plastering and possibly decking. The swim season starts February 2008. Mayor Santos reported that he wanted to bring before the full Council capital improvement priorities are during a January 2008 retreat.
