Item No. 13.
For Meeting of: July 10, 2018
ITEM TITLE: Proposal on seeking funds for Martin Luther King
Jr. Park Community Swimming Pool
SUBMITTED BY: Scott Schafer, Director of Public Works
Ken Wilkinson, Parks & Recreation Manager- 576-6416
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
At the June 5th City Council meeting, staff was directed to bring forth a proposal seeking funds
for the MLK Jr. community swimming pool.
With input from the Ad Hoc Committee, the City Council determined that the best location of the
pool would be at MLK Jr. Park. In order for the City to proceed with the proposed project and to
be eligible for any possible funding for the outdoor swimming pool, a defined scope of work must
be developed consisting of actual designs with estimated operational and construction
costs. Staff is recommending the consulting firm of Counsilman — Hunsaker as they are one of
the leading experts in pool designs, to prepare three schematic designs utilizing MLK Jr. Park
with all associated estimated costs as the next step in the process. The cost for the consulting
work is not to exceed $35,000. The agreement would be brought forward to City Council for
consideration at a future date.
One option for funding the consulting work could be the Parks and Recreation Capital Fund, which
has an annual budget of $100,000. However, the cost for the consultant would utilize 35% of the
Parks Capital Fund, impacting planned capital projects such as Lions Park playground and Larson
Park picnic shelter. If Parks Capital funds are not utilized for the design and cost estimate proposal,
other funds will need to be considered, such as General Fund Reserves.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor Coffey, City Council Members and City Manager, Cliff Moore
FROM: Scott Schafer, Director of Public Works
Ken Wilkinson, Parks and Recreation Manager
DATE: January 22, 2018
RE: Community Swimming Pool Ad Hoc Committee Report and Recommendation
To address a top priority of Yakima City Council, Ken Wilkinson, Parks and Recreation Manager
for the City of Yakima, presented information at a study session regarding a public swimming
pool on the eastside of Yakima to City Council on May 30, 2017. At the conclusion of the
presentation, staff was directed by City Council to create an Ad Hoc Committee to study the
issue further and bring back a recommendation to the full Council. Three City Council members
volunteered to serve on the committee. The three City Council members were Dulce Gutierrez,
Avina Gutierrez and Holly Cousens. In addition to the City Council members, three Parks and
Recreation Commissioners also volunteered to serve. Those Parks and Recreation
Commissioners were Matt Tweedy, Josette Gonzales and Stacy Hackenmueller.
In June of 2017, a press release was sent out asking for community members to apply to serve
on the Community Swimming Pool Ad Hoc Committee. Seven applications were received. The
first meeting of the committee was scheduled for July 17, 2017 and during that meeting the
applicants from the community were interviewed by the City Council members and Parks and
Recreation Commissioners. After the interviews, the Council members and Parks and
Recreation Commissioners selected 3 of the applicants to serve on the committee. Joe Mann,
Erika DeLeon, and Alma Rabadan were selected to serve on the committee representing the
community.
The first meeting was held on July 31, 2017 and during that meeting, a purpose statement for
the committee was created. The purpose statement of the Community Swimming Pool Ad Hoc
Committee is
" To create a recommended proposal for City Council to consider regarding a pool in an east Yakima
location, funding options, programming, amenities, cost estimates, with maximum opportunities for
increased activities for (youth, families & seniors) our community."
Additional meetings were held on August 281h, September 251h, October 23rd and November 271h.
Agendas and meetings notes are attached.
Power Point presentations were given to assist in discussion of the options for a community
swimming pool on the eastside of Yakima. Power Point presentations are attached.
There were multiple topics for discussion placed on the agenda. Some of these topics included
potential locations for a swimming pool, possible swimming pool features, various examples of
possible schematic designs for swimming pools that were overlaid on potential site locations,
4
possible swimming programs and classes that could be offered and the possibilities for funding
a public swimming pool project. There was great discussion and contribution of ideas and
thoughts from the committee. The details of the discussions are identified in the meeting notes
from each of the six meetings. In addition to the agenda items discussion, a presentation from a
member of the group working to purchase and develop the Yakima Speedway property was
given to the committee. At the end of each meeting, those from the general public were given
an opportunity to voice their thoughts.
A general design was used for aiding in the discussion. The square footage measurements for
buildings, deck space and swimming pool from Franklin Park Pool were used in the schematic
designs. The pool deck area was 44,000 square feet and the pool surface area of 8,000 square
feet was placed within the pool deck square footage. Mechanical building was drawn at 35' x
35' or 1,225 square feet and the pool concessions, restrooms, locker room area and cashier
area building was drawn at 50' x 35' or 1,759 square feet. Parking spaces needed were based
on the YMC requirements and for a pool deck area of 44,000, it was determined that 160
parking spaces would be needed.
There were three location selected for the placement of a swimming pool. They are the Yakima
Speedway property, the Mill Site property and Martin Luther King Jr. Park. After much
discussion, the Mill Site property was eliminated from the recommendation for a location and the
pros and cons of the two remaining locations were identified. Listed below are the identified
considerations for each property for your review.
Martin Luther King Jr. Park
City owns land
Positive location
Residential area
Established neighborhood
Close to schools/green space
Nearby bus routes
Safe to walk
Lunch / Breakfast provided at Yakima school
Close to other parks
Community feel
Less expensive to construct parking
Yakima Speedway Property
+
Large size area
Growth options
Close to Kiwanis / 1-82
Close to bus routes
Many apartments & housing
Positive neighborhood
Existing park
Too small
Less growth opportunity
Parking concerns — on street
No park [greenspace] after pool is built
Area would be a construction zone 9-18 mo.
Construction zone — surrounding development
Cost to purchase land
Currently a proposed project
May take many years to acquire
Low visibility
Questions about if the neighbors will be
supportive

After the discussion about location benefits, the committee agreed that both locations had
viability, but that future developments needed to be factored into the project as it moves
forward. During our meeting on October 23rd, a representative from a group of investors
working to purchase the Yakima Speedway property presented an early concept of their plan for
developing the property. A possibility to utilize a portion of that property may be an opportunity
in the future. A formal request of a land donation at the Yakima Speedway property was
considered as a future factor for consideration discussed during a committee meeting. An
estimated cost for the construction of the conceptualized swimming pool identified in the Power
Point presentation was also discussed and it was determined that in order to identify a realistic
estimated cost for construction, a public swimming pool design consultant would need to be
hired. A consultant would also be able to provide operational cost estimates.
The Community Swimming Pool Ad Hoc Committee is to be commended and thanked for giving
of their time and sharing their thoughts and ideas regarding exploring the options for creating a
new swimming pool in Yakima.
The information and recommendations within this report from the Community Swimming Pool
Ad Hoc Committee as requested by Yakima City Council to address their priorities is submitted
for City Council's consideration.
