Purpose/Problem:

The purpose of this report is to provide information to the Parks
Recreation Committee regarding the astimated cost of keeping Hyde
Creek Pool open during the summer months.

Background Information:

Earlier this month, a petition was forwarded to the Parks and
Recreation Committee requesting consideration be given to keeping
Hyde Creek Pool open during the summer months. The Committee
requested staff to work up a rough cost estimate for keeping this
facility open.

The attached budget estimate (Net - $13,100) would operate the pool
on reduced hours (approx. 60 hrs per week) and would accommodate the
needs of fitness swimmers, senior swimmers, and the physically
disadvantaged. In addition, the Department would be abie to offer a
number of public programs in a controlled environment (weather). A
primary consideration has to be whether or not Hyde Creek Pool, with
its current amenities, can attract enough participants to justify
keeping it open during the summer months.
