Funding is available from the approved FY 08/09 Aquatics Capital Program, Quality of Life Funds.

Mayor Smith noted that this project was approved by the previous City Council and when the contract was presented to the current Council in early July, a number of questions were raised. He said that the contract was removed from the agenda, which resulted in many citizens expressing concerns that the project would not move forward. Mayor Smith apologized to the Rhodes community on behalf of the Council for failing to adequately communicate with them regarding the project, and he noted that the Council’s concerns had nothing to do with the location of the project. He emphasized that every part of the City is important, and he added that the Council will make an effort to improve future communications.

Councilmember Richins said that as a resident of West Mesa, he worked for the past five years to revitalize the area. He stated that the Council must balance the needs of the entire City against the needs of one location. Councilmember Richins expressed his appreciation to City staff and the citizens for allowing the Council to work through this process. He explained that his primary concern related to the FlowRider®, and he noted that City staff has not had any experience with this type of amenity.

.

It was moved by Councilmember Richins, seconded by Councilmember Higgins, that the construction phase services contract be awarded to Sun Eagle Corporation as the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for the Rhodes Junior High School Pool Rehabilitation project with the current Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) of $6,459,922.35 as the upper limit on the project. He said that as part of this motion, City staff is directed to work with the contractor to begin construction on the pool immediately. He added that staff and the contractor shall renegotiate the scope of the contract to reduce the cost and replace the FlowRider® with a dual slide that is consistent with other pools in the City of Mesa.

Mayor Smith restated his understanding of the motion, which was that the pool would be approved as currently designed with construction to begin immediately without the FlowRider®, but with an amenity package consistent with other pools.

Councilmember Richins said he concurred with Mayor Smith’s restatement of the motion.

In response to questions from Mayor Smith, City Manager Christopher Brady requested that City Engineer Beth Huning display a diagram of the Rhodes Pool project (a copy is available for review in the City Clerk’s Office) and explain which elements of the construction project would move forward based on the motion offered by Councilmember Richins.

Ms. Huning advised that approving the motion offered by Councilmember Richins would enable construction of the competition pool, dive pool, zero depth entry pool, splash pad, bathhouse, bathrooms, and the mechanical building.

Responding to questions from Mr. Brady, Ms. Huning said the project team is scheduled to meet with the architect and the contractor tomorrow morning. She advised that the contractor has indicated that demolition of the old pool could commence during the third or fourth week of October, and she added that staff would address the redesign of the site during the demolition phase.

Mayor Smith clarified that the site to be redesigned refers only to the area where the FlowRider® was scheduled to be constructed.

Ms. Huning responded to a question from Mayor Smith by advising that staff would attempt to maintain the same ten-month construction schedule for the project.

Mayor Smith noted that several citizens have requested the opportunity to address the Council.

Linda Murphy, 3048 South Spruce Street, addressed the Council in support of the FlowRider® and explained that the amenity was selected for the Rhodes Pool because the demographics of the community include a large number of teenagers. She noted that many Parks programs have been eliminated and that including the FlowRider® would enable the Rhodes Pool to provide amenities for all age groups, which would attract families to the facility. Ms. Murphy added that the proximity of the Rhodes Pool to the Fiesta District is likely to draw additional people into the Fiesta Mall corridor. She stated the opinion that in fairness to the community and to Mesa Public Schools, a project at this stage of development should remain unchanged regardless of the seating of a new Council or economic conditions.

Mark Yarbrough, 2427 South Spruce, a member of the Parks and Recreation Board, spoke in support of the FlowRider®, and he expressed confidence that the Mayor and Council continue to be concerned about the entire community. He noted that each pool in the City is equipped with different types of amenities, and he stated the opinion that the FlowRider® is an appropriate amenity to address the changing demographics of the area.

Jeff Anderson, 1860 South Longmore, a teacher at Rhodes Junior High School for 29 years and coach of the Dobson swim team, addressed the Council in support of the FlowRider®. He reported that approximately one percent of the Rhodes’ students utilized the pool in the previous summer, but that approximately 99 percent of the students indicated that they would utilize the pool if a FlowRider® was present. Mr. Anderson also noted that this amenity would increase business activity in the Fiesta Mall redevelopment area.

Mayor Smith reported that the following individuals completed speaker/comment cards in support of the FlowRider®, but indicated that they did not wish to address the Council:

Sandy Minnick, 916 West Kiowa Avenue

Greg Schultz, 117 South New Haven

Barbara Shoemaker, 644 West Mendoza Avenue

Anne Reichman, 1104 West Madero Avenue

Valene Fischer, 950 West Madero Avenue

Steven Yanagihara, 702 West Laguna Azul Avenue

Carolyn Yanagihara, 702 West Laguna Azul Avenue

Mayor Smith noted that a petition in support of the FlowRider® was submitted containing the signatures of 421 Rhodes students and 21 staff members. He advised that the Council would hear from those individuals who have indicated opposition to the FlowRider®.

Jerry D. Walker, 113 South Ogden Circle, addressed the Council and stated the opinion that although he supports the improvements at the Rhodes Pool, he believes that the FlowRider® would be a frivolous and irresponsible expenditure of City funds.

Linda Morrissey, 945 North Pasadena, spoke in support of the improvements to be made at the Rhodes Pool, but she expressed opposition to the FlowRider® amenity. She stated the opinion that the FlowRider® is a luxury that the City cannot afford.

John Perkinson, 4222 East McLellan, said he was opposed to the installation of the FlowRider®, and he stated the opinion that the amenity is more suitable for an amusement park. He further stated the opinion that allocating Quality of Life resources to this amenity would be inappropriate, and he added that future maintenance costs for the FlowRider® could be very expensive.

Mayor Smith advised the following individuals submitted speaker/comment cards in opposition to the FlowRider®, but indicated that they did not wish to address the Council:

Terry Benelli, 4939 East Adobe Road

Matt Tolman, 735 7^th Place

Vice Mayor Jones recalled that the voter-approved Quality of Life tax designated a certain amount of funding for an aquatics center, a project that was later determined to be cost-prohibitive. He stated that because the funds are designated for aquatics, a decision was made to fund the rehabilitation of several pools, which was required because of deteriorating conditions and changes in the depth requirement for pools that host competitive events. Vice Mayor Jones reported that the Parks and Recreation Board and staff, noting that insufficient funds were available to upgrade every pool in the City, recommended a regional approach to upgrade and rehabilitate pools that would ensure reasonable access to the high school swim teams. He noted that initially he was reluctant to approve the FlowRider® because a different amenity would cost fifty percent less, but when a determination was made that the remaining dollars would be insufficient to address any significant rehabilitation at another pool, the FlowRider® was approved. Vice Mayor Jones noted that the contract presented to this Council was for an approved project, and he expressed regret that the project has been delayed. He stated that he would not support the motion because he held the opinion that the project should move forward with the FlowRider® as previously approved.

Councilmember Kavanaugh stated that he would also oppose the motion. He said that the previous Council, which included two very fiscally conservative members who reviewed the project in detail, unanimously approved the design of the project. Councilmember Kavanaugh advised that the project is not only designed to meet the needs of the demographics of the area, but also to be sustainable over a long period of time. He noted that this project supports the City’s continuing emphasis on economic development, and he added that this investment is the result of a remarkable collaboration between staff, the Parks and Recreation Board, Mesa Public Schools and the community. He expressed the hope that the project would move forward as previously approved.

Councilmember Higgins said she would support the motion, which would fund the pool construction at Rhodes Junior High School without the FlowRider®. She stated the opinion that the funds saved by installing an amenity other than the FlowRider® could be utilized for a small project at another pool.

Councilmember Richins noted that the demographics of an area typically change over a period of time, and he stated the opinion that the Council should take a long-term approach. He expressed support for the partnership between the City and Mesa Public Schools, particularly in the area of aquatics. Councilmember Richins stated the opinion that providing entertainment for teenagers was a role for the private sector. He added that he supports regional equity throughout the City, but he does not believe that a FlowRider® would provide a positive economic benefit to Southwest Mesa.

Councilmember Finter stated that initiating this type of project during current economic times would be difficult, but after visiting the Rhodes pool site, he recognized that the area and the school have been negatively impacted by the fact that demolition was in process when work on the project was halted. He said he would support the motion to move forward without the FlowRider® amenity.

Mayor Smith said that his concerns related to the fact that the project may not be appropriate during these economic times. He stated that he respected the process, and he acknowledged that these funds were set aside for aquatics-related projects. Mayor Smith reported that his research indicated that the majority of FlowRiders® were installed in resort hotels and water parks. He added that City parks and swimming pools are an investment in the community’s quality of life, and he expressed support for the aquatics program in conjunction with the schools. He noted that a FlowRider® is not a part of the mission, and he expressed additional concerns that users of a popular FlowRider® feature could monopolize the pool area. He also questioned the practice of providing a public amenity that could require an admission charge, which would be prohibitive to a large segment of the population. Mayor Smith further stated that the world has changed since the decision was made to move forward with the project, but he was concerned that a last-minute attempt to substitute a less expensive amenity at this point in time would not be successful. He advised that he would oppose the motion.

Mayor Smith called for the vote.

Upon tabulation of votes, it showed:

AYES – Finter-Higgins-Richins

NAYS – Jones-Kavanaugh-Smith-Somers

Mayor Smith declared the motion failed for lack of a majority vote.

It was moved by Councilmember Kavanaugh, seconded by Vice Mayor Jones, that staff’s recommendation to award the contract for the Rhodes Junior High School Pool Rehabilitation to Sun Eagle Corporation as the Construction Manager at Risk be approved.

Upon tabulation of votes, it showed:

AYES – Jones-Kavanaugh-Smith-Somers

NAYS – Finter-Higgins-Richins

Mayor Smith declared the motion carried by a majority vote.
