Phase one, which was appropriated in FY 19 encompasses a <br /> feasibility study. It was determined that the building is in need of a complete <br /> renovation instead of a complete demolition based on the results of the feasibility <br /> study in addition to cost factors. The renovation would include repairs to the <br /> plumbing system, installation of new fixtures, a new roof, and reconfiguration of the <br /> main entrance. An ADA Compliance Study was completed and it was determined <br /> that the bathhouse is not in compliance with ADA standards as it currently stands, <br /> and was identified as a top priority project. Ms. Fenollosa asked if the Bathhouse is <br /> open during ice skating season. Mr. Coleman responded that the Bathhouse is not <br /> heated and that ice skating is not encouraged on the Old Reservoir. It is strongly <br /> encouraged that skaters use the manmade rink located at Fletcher Park. <br /> The Committee questioned the priorities of the Recreation department since they <br /> have four substantial CPA funds projects requested for FY20. Mr. Coleman <br /> responded that if they didn't receive the support of the CPA that they would look for <br /> other funding sources and continue daily operations. Ms. Walker asked who <br /> conducted the feasibility study and if they are confident that nothing additional will <br /> be uncovered during the renovation. Mr. Coleman responded that Colin Smith <br /> 1 <br />
