The Council will consider approval of a first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 5 of the City Code regarding town center regulations. At its July 11 work session the City Council reviewed proposed amendments to Chapter 5 of the City Code regarding town center regulations. The proposed changes are in anticipation of future redevelopment that may occur in the “downtown” area and include retail, office, hospitality and multifamily uses. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the ordinance making these amendments at its August 12 meeting. 6.4. The Council will consider approval of a resolution authorizing repairs to the Crystal Cove Aquatic Center. Although significant improvements were made in 2006 to the Crystal Cove pool, much of the pool is part of the original pool structure. While the pool has been leaking for a few years, in- house attempts to stop the leak have not been completely successful. Late in 2018, staff noticed the pool’s diving well had begun to leak more significantly. Earlier this summer a dye check of the pool revealed leaks across expansion joint s throughout the deep end. More than caulking the joints is required and only one contractor is able to complete a more thorough repair. Northern Pool Restoration’s proposal of $34,243 includes installing a new water stop Crystal City Council Meeting Agenda Aug. 20, 2019 Page 3 of 3 to all expansion joints underneath new caulking. This work can be completed this fall when the pool is empty and air temperatures are still relatively warm. There is $75,000 in the proposed 2021 capital plan to replace caulking and tile in the pool. Staff recommends approval of hiring Northern Pool Restoration to repair leaks in the pool for $34,243. 7.
