Jerry Baker of CPA Architects reviewed the project, noting that on April 28th
his firm had visited the community and reviewed the pool and locker room as
requested. They then presented an initial study in May, 1981, noting that the,
funds were insufficient to do both projects. It became apparent at that point
that the consensus in the community was that the pool was a higher priority.
CIA then estimated that the replacement cost of the pool would be $677,000. Funds
were reallocated by the Borough Assembly in September, 1981 to cover the estimated
cost. The firm has now finalized their preliminary cost for a pool 42' by 721,
which is the same size as the present pool in that the concrete deck cannot be
removed with the money available and presented a number of alternatives to be
considered by the Architectural Review Board.
Discussion centered around the acoustical treatment, relative humidity, feasi-
bility of a pool cover, need for proper treatment of the floor in the gear rooms,
ventilation, lighting, various filter systems, starting blocks, door replacement,
and the chlorine system. CIA noted that the design development was estimated to
cost $624,321 while the bidding contingency was 3.9% or $26,340 and the construc-
tion contingency was also 3.9% or $26,340 for a total project cost of $677,000.
Considerable discussion followed and the group noted that a number of items could
be bid as alternates, such as the pool cover. CTA suggested that construction
could start in April, 1982 and last through Christmas of 1982 and that the group
may want to consider timing also as a bid alternate. After further discussion,
Chairman Coleman summarized the consensus of the meeting, noting that the Archi-
tectural Review Board's recommendation.would be as follows:
1. Halide lighting resulting in a white light is preferable to the
high pressure sodium light unless the sodium light can be color
corrected, which would then make it preferable in that they are
cheaper to purchase and operate. (High pressure sodium lights
would save dpprox..$2,900/year in operating costs in addition to
reduced initial cost.);
2. The filter system is recommended to be the rapid flow sand filter
in that while it has an initial higher installation cost, it re-
quires little training or technical knowledge to operate and
provides no possibility of equipment room flooding due to malfunction;
3. The chemical feed system recommended is the gas chlorine system
which has the lowest operating cost and requires less knowledge
and experience by the operator, but it has the disadvantage of a
higher initial cost;
4. The Board requested that a pool cover and container as well as
starting blocks be bid as an alternate item;
5. The Board recommended the movable lifeguard stand if the cost is
the same;

6. The Board reconfirmed the recommendation that the entire pool
and deck be covered with ceramic tile;
7. The Board=also requested that the architects get a cost on re-
placement -of the door systems into the pool room to see if
this could be handled as a maintenance item.
Chairman Coleman anticipated that the cost of the above modifications, without
the door replacement, to be _$655,000 which is barely within the budget established
for the project.
Discussion then centered around whether provisions are required for handicapped
access to the pool. It was agreed that the architect would check this out. Mr.
Coleman also requested that the Architectural Review Board have the opportunity
to review the final design plans prior to bidding the project. Marty Anderson
suggested that the plans could be mailed and a final review scheduled in conjunc-
tion with a visit by CTA to Main Elementary School.
Marty Anderson and John Walsh then reviewed the progress on Main Elementary School
with particular emphasis on the soils and structural problems associated with the
project to date.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11:00 p.m.
