Monroe Street Pool Maintenance an~pital Improvement Project Update (District 1)
This memorandum provides an update on concerns raised about the maintenance of the pool
complex located at 3401 Monroe Street and the related Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Project No. 4724 (Project) to renovate it.
Background
Maintenance Concerns
On March 16, 2022, the City Council received a presentation during public comment from a
resident regarding maintenance concerns at the Monroe Street Pool complex. The presentation
included a series of undated photographs taken at and around the Monroe Street Pool facility.
City staff investigated the images as well as in spected the property to confirm and address areas
that were in need of repair or attention.
CIP Project
On Jan. 26, 20211 staff presented three design concepts for the City Council's consideration on
whether to conduct a limited refurbishment and renovation of the Monroe Street Pool complex or
to conduct one of two more comprehensive renovations/expansions. The City Council directed
staff to pursue design concept 3, to completely renovate and expand the Monroe Street Pool
complex and to pursue placing a Proposition H ballot measure for the Project on the June 7, 2022,
primary election ballot.
On Feb. 22, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-049, deferring the timing of a
Proposition H ballot measure for the Project and directing staff to return to the City Council with
sufficient time to consider placement of the Project on the November 2022 ballot. The deadline
for the November 2022 ballot is Aug. 12, 2022.
Discussion
After the resident's presentation to the City Council on March 16, 2022, the city's Risk Manager
conducted a review of the Monroe Street Pool complex and generated a report, provided as
Attachment A.

City Council, as well as the Risk Manager's observations report, and conducted maintenance
activities deemed appropriate. Attachment B shows pictures that were presented by the resident
alongside pictures of the current condition after staff conducted the maintenance activities. A
few remaining activities, such as pool plastering, are in progress and will be completed by next
month.
Next Steps
Staff will continue to monitor and maintain the facility as appropriate until construction of the
Project commences.
Staff plan to return to the City Council in June/July to consider placement of the Project on the
November 2022 general election ballot.
