SWIMMING POOL COMMITTEE
MINUTES OF DECEMBER 9, 2004 MEETING
Present: Kate Stevenson, Donna Hirt, Marvin Carter, Steve Klotz, Robin Herman, and Cal Cumin. Also
present: Craig Canfield.
No public comment.
Marvin moved to approve the minutes of the last meeting; carried.
Donna said her swimming pool records were misplaced, and she could not give us a report of numbers,
etc. as requested at the last meeting.
Steve discussed the current parks budget and the planned park maintenance district (PMD). He said the
parks and the pool are under one budget with about $150,000 for the current fiscal year for parks and
$55,000 for the pool for a total of about $200,000.

A City Council ad hoc committee is doing a mini-capitol improvements program to determine how much
is needed to construct new equipment in the parks. The approximately $200,000 saved per year by using
a PMD would go toward allaying employee layoffs.
Craig Canfield of Interstate Engineering presented three footprint layouts of the possible swimming pool
plans along with costs and possible funding procedures for each. These are here attached.
Laurel Aquatics Complex Review
December 2004
I.E. #Y04-4-143
The City of Laurel is considering replacing their existing swimming pool. The
committee requested several options to evaluate for construction costs, operation and
maintenance costs and potential revenue generation. The information provided on the
existing swimming pool budget shows annual income of $6,612.00 and an operating
budget of $55,342.00 for a net loss of $48,730.00.
The purpose of constructing a new aquatics complex is to replace an old and outdated
facility with a new complex that would offer more entertainment and a greater potential
for revenue generation.
The three complexes outlined in this report all will have higher operating costs due to
increased staffing requirements but the revenue will also increase. The past several
complexes we have been involved with showed a large increase in the average daily
attendance and a large increase in revenue. This report will outline a conservative
approach to expected revenue and expenses to give the committee a basis of comparison.
Once a final complex is selected, a more detailed estimate of income and expenses will
be generated.
The following is a brief description of the three compIex layouts. Each option has the
same bathhouse and concession building layout that was used for the purpose of
estimating.
Option I - This complex has one body of water that has an activity pool area with a zero-
depth entry, a recreation pool area with depths from 18" to 4', a 3'6" deep swim channel
with a bubble bench and spray attractions, and a plunge pool for the tower waterslide that
is 3'0" to 3'6" deep.
Option II - This complex has one body of water that includes an activity pool area with
zero-depth, a recreation/lap pool area with depths from 3'6" to 6' and a plunge pool area
for the tower waterslide that is 3'0" to 3'6" deep.
Option III - This complex consists of three separate bodies of water. A separate activity
pool with zero-depth entry, a 5-lane 25-yard lap pool with depths from 3'6" to 6'6" and a
6 deep Lazy R~ver w~th an attached plunge pool for the tower waterslide
Construction Cost Estimates

To find an individuals property tax, they should take their taxable value found on their
tax statement and multiply by 0.03598 for Option I; 0.03002 for Option II; or 0.04143 for
Option III.
The information above also shows that the maximum G.O. bond Laurel could pass by
statue is $1,661,000.00. All the options are estimated higher than that limit.

Option I $823,000.00
Option H $419,000.00
Option l II $~,204,000.00
The concession building could be built at a later date in each option which would save
$103,000.00 on the original project cost of each, but that would still be over the limit.
The other course of action is to select the option that most appeals to the majority of the
committee and determine the final scope and try for additional means to finance the
construction - donations, sponsorships, in-kind work, etc. The grant possibilities for
swimming pools are fairly limited.
We are at the stage that the committee needs to develop a project that will fit the needs of
the public. The final financial package will be based on the project the community
wants.
