All right, I uh want to go ahead and call to order our finance committee.

We have uh one item.

Uh it is uh discussion of ordinance 43 2025.

Uh the CAP, the capital improvement plan for 26 uh to 2030.

Mr.

Schultz, floor is yours.

Thank you, sir.

Um, I actually don't have anything formal tonight.

I know that uh the CIP itself was presented on September 22nd.

Uh you guys have you folks have had the document for uh that period of time there.

I know that we did request questions uh at some particular point as it related to to the document, and then also as it related to the 2026 uh capital budget request, uh which obviously uh we presented uh more information on that uh last Thursday uh at the budget workshop.

Um I'd be happy to, you know, in deference to everybody's time, uh Mr.

Gotkey going a little bit quick.

I'll try to go even quicker than him and and basically just turn it over to you folks for any questions that uh that you might have on either item, the plan itself, and or uh and/or the budget.

I guess the one note that I would make is is that I haven't recirculated a new document only because I'm waiting to make one set of changes instead of continually making changes and sending it back.

It is a 185-page document that's made up of about 16, 17 different files.

Uh and it takes about six hours to put it together.

So I'd rather do that one time uh and not two or three.

So sorry.

Colleagues, any uh questions or comments, Ms.

McGregor.

Well, one thing that I noticed is uh throughout the parks thing is they are they call them shade structures that they're putting up.

And um, I guess one request I would have is that you plant some trees along the same in the same place as the shade structures shade structures will wear out and have a sp specific lifetime where as if we plant some shade trees in the general area and allow them to grow, over time we won't need the shade structures.

And that would be um you know, in all those cases, plus it would add to the beauty of the of the area.

Thank you.

Thank you, Ms.

McGregor.

Um, any other questions or comments once.

Oh we do have one.

I I do have one, and I'm sorry I don't have it written down, so I'm trying to um so the the uh I'm looking at the email that you had sent us about the um aquatics facilities that you'll be um adding that project into the assessment phase.

Um and that it will be a priority three, is that right?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay.

And so I just wanted to get a little bit of clarity because my understanding was that um that is on somewhat of a timeline that um our pool uh at GSP, not Hunter's Ridge, but at GSP, that pool um is about to reach its um usable life span.

Um that sooner rather than later, there are going to have to be major investments if we want to want to keep that exact pool.

Um so I was just um curious why it's a priority three as it could do rather than a priority two should do, because that one is um reduces future operation and maintenance costs and also uh rehabilitates or replaces an obsolete public facility.

Correct.

Because the the conversation around GSP is uh to really execute on the uh the aquatics master plan, which hasn't been fully vetted, haven't been fully discussed.

Uh we don't feel that the reconstruction of the pool, the front pool at GSP is an option, right?

So there was a question that we did receive in regards to having it relined.

We don't believe that relining the pool another time is an option.

Uh and therefore it that would that would constitute a much larger project, one that we need to have many more conversations around.

That is the 30 million dollars that was identified in the uh aquatics master plan, uh 10 of which roughly again rounding uh was for uh HRP and then 20 of which was uh for GSP.

So we need to have a much larger conversation around that.

Part of the $90,000 in assessment for 2026 is to is in part to figure out whether or not what has even been proposed uh as part of the aquatics master plan is even capable of being built uh on the GSP site from a geo uh a uh geotechnical standpoint from a floodplain standpoint uh and a variety of other uh issues and and topics.

So uh while you might not see it in black and white on your plan, uh it is something that the where the conversation does continue and that uh we'll end up marching forward with uh with a proposal to you folks, but it's not something that we're ready to to dive in and put into the plan at this particular point in time.

One of the things that the Aquatics Master Plan did talk about was how much water the city needs and can support.

Uh and right now with all three pools, HRP and then the two pools at at GSP, the splash pad, uh so on and so forth.

I don't remember the exact percentage of how over over watered we were, but we were uh we did have more water than um than other communities of our size.

So that's all part of the conversation that needs to go on.

Uh obviously, you know, a 20 million dollar project is uh just for GSP is is a very large, large item and one that needs to be uh thoughtfully considered uh and then ultimately um either find it way into the plan or not find its way into the plan.

I'll point I'll point to the first few chapters on how a how a project gets put into the plan, and we're not really there yet in order to put the entire thing uh into the plan uh at this particular point, but we'll make efforts towards that end uh over the next few months and then in 26.

Thank you.

Um and then just for kind of some So I I feel like I kind of I know a lot about this because of being on the aquatic steering committee.

Um but I also feel like it none of that information has really been like distributed or brought to council, like so.

I'm not sure my colleagues might just be like, what is she talking about?

Um but so just for um I guess clarity is there will you guys be giving us like the um the results of that um just so that then we're all working off of the same information?

Yeah, absolutely.

I think that um I think part of what's going on right now, I mean, obviously the calendar has been very busy uh between Creekside, two projects, uh CIPs and budgets, uh the timing just hasn't really necessarily been there 825.

I haven't been here to give an A25 update in three months now.
