Closure of the Urbandale Public Swimming Pool CITY OF URBANDALE 3600 86th Street Urbandale, IA 50322 COUNCIL LETTER #6398 515.278.3900 | Urbandale.org Meeting: City Council - July 28, 2020 Staff Contact: Jan Herke, Director of Parks & Recreation Department: Parks & Recreation AGENDA ITEM: Closure of the Urbandale Public Swimming Pool RECOMMENDATION: Approve the permanent closure of the Urbandale Public Swimming Pool CITY ATTORNEY REVIEWED: FINANCE REVIEWED: CORRESPONDS WITH: N/A Yes Council Procedure ATTACHMENTS: Pool Survey - Question 4 Responses PROJECT DESCRIPTION: At its June 30, 2020, meeting, the Council deferred a decision on permanently closing the Urbandale indoor swimming pool until the July 28, 2020 meeting. Council also asked staff to update the community on this recommendation and to seek public input before making its final decision. Staff prepared a survey that was posted on the City website, social media and Nextdoor.com (neighborhood social media network.) In addition, a Des Moines Register article about the proposed pool closing and a link to the survey was included in an article posted online on July 15, 2020. 662 respondents took the online survey and a brief summary of the survey data is below. Summary of the Survey: 1. Of the 662 respondents who took the survey, 85% were Urbandale residents. 2. 472 indicated they have used the Urbandale Pool in the past 3 years. 3. Of those 472 participants, 61% (285) indicated they had participated in open swim, 39% (182) in swim lessons, 29% (135) in lap swim and 21% (97) in water fitness classes. 4. When asked if the pool was to remain closed and a subsidy was created to lower the cost of programs, 41% (262) of respondents indicated they would more likely participate in aquatic programs offered by other community partners. Survey respondents were also provided the opportunity to share additional comments about their thoughts on the current pool or suggestions for the future of aquatics in Urbandale. 525 people shared comments, and four main themes emerged in those comments, which include: • 310 wanted the current pool to reopen, and/or prefer the current location • 115 supported closing the pool and pursuing a new aquatic facility in Urbandale • 74 agreed with the pool closing, if other options were available (City partnering with other aquatic facilities, new facility pursued, etc.) • 26 comments were considered “other” (such as fund a dog park instead, patrons doesn’t use the facility anymore, COVID safety concerns, get out of aquatics all together, comments on other park projects, etc.) After receiving the survey responses and other pool user communications regarding the closure of the swimming pool, staff’s recommendation continues to be to permanently close the Urbandale Public Swimming Pool. This recommendation was based on the following considerations: • The age of the facility and its significant ongoing operational and capital costs to operate and maintain the facility. • The 50 year 28E Lease Agreement with the Urbandale Community School District, which owns the land under the pool, ends in 2026. • A small percentage of Urbandale residents regularly participant in pool programs. • The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has closed the pool indefinitely and its negative effects would impact future programming drastically. • The Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan highlights strong resident passion for aquatic programs and securing aquatic partnership opportunities for Urbandale residents would more strategically meet that need. Page 2 of 41 4.) Please use the space below to expand on your answers to the questions above, to share your thoughts on the current pool or your suggestions for the future of aquatics in Urbandale. This is a local community pool valued by its participants. Why Take away a community facility and outsource to other institutions for which we have no control or say in how it administered. It’s no safer doing it this way. It’s also used by the schools and senior citizens for lessons, aquatics and lap swimming. so now you’re going to bus kids to other places and make it more inconvenient for us. Why not support what we have right now? I strongly disagree with the proposal to outsource. A community without and aquatics center is an incomplete community. The safety of learning how to swim, the fitness opportunity for lap swimmers and swim teams, and the recreational opportunities for community members are far too important to pass on. After having a second child I spent more time at the Clive Aquatic Center because of the shaded zero depth area and broader hours. I could never seem to get to the Urbandale facility for open swim because of the kids' midday naps and early bedtimes. I think it makes way more sense to support nearby pools with a subsidy than to do the expensive work I hear our pool needs. I live in view of the high school but I wouldn't mind losing a pool "in my back yard" that I can't really use, especially if it makes admission to our favorite pool more affordable. Already use Clive aquatic center because of adult classes offered. Urbandale adult class list very limited as are number of participants. Already y member. Would prefer outdoor pool Although the partnership appears to have merit, consideration must include transportation. How will residents who do not drive; i.e., those without a driver's license, get to the other locations? I am doubtful the City of Urbandale is in a position to build its own aquatic center, plus on-going maintenance...and the liability risk. It is good to see the exploration of options. An aquatic center would be great. An indoor local option is nice without the membership requirements of a YMCA. My son and I have used the pool during the winter for last 7 years. An indoor pool is a unique asset for year-round use and those with environmental challenges. An indoor pool in close proximity to the schools is a unique asset for residents in district PE programs. A traditional pool is an asset to those who prefer that environment to aquatic center. Lower pool rental fees are an asset to those celebrating. Walkable pool facilities are an asset. Location in the recreational core is an asset. Convenience to seniors is an asset. Maintenance costs do need to be dealt with. However I would prefer to see some form of infill development, in this location, or another in "old" Urbandale, in order to retain the advantages listed, not create migratory loss for eastern Urbandale residents, while supporting property values with investment - rather than anything along the lines of a another western/northern aquatic center. Perhaps explored in conjunction with Douglas improvement projects or agreements with the district on vacated elementary properties? As a homeowner and consumer, I am not interested in paying for a new pool or providing an annual subsidy. Having to travel further than 2 miles to use a pool is not desirable for me and my family. We have enjoyed having a pool so close to our home and our teenager using it for PE at UHS. I understand things have to work for all involved though. Just know that I would never support a new pool in Urbandale. As a lifelong resident and student of all the schools, it was always nice to have a community pool that isn’t franchised out. If we close the pool, will there be an option to build a city owned pool or aquatic park that includes indoor and outdoor options? As an annual member I want refunded for the unused portion of my membership As of a result of covid-19 i no longer will be using public pools Page 3 of 41 At this point, CIA hardly gets time at Urbandale Public Pool (even though we've been a loyal customer for YEARS) so if it meant we could participate as a team at a newer facility sooner than later, I say bulldoze the pool ASAP. I also say bulldoze the pool ASAP as a concerned citizen after finding out how much the city is losing in keeping that pool open. Time for a new facility that accommodates the needs of the community SO much better!!! Been a resident and user of the Urbandale public pool for over 2 decades. The pool has given us and our club team, central Iowa aquatics, urgent pool space to use over the years the the Des Moines Metro area has Failed to supply us with on a consistent basis. During our season we are in their every single day and we deeply appreciate this pool space. The Des Moines area and Iowa as a whole had very limited pool space for swim clubs to use. Most of them put such strict limitations on them to use and are constantly rising pool rental rates that clubs sometimes struggle to afford. We understand this though as a club and the costs it takes to operate such a pool year round. In our opinion this pool though has served its purpose and done its duty to the community. It’s time for a new and better option for the Urbandale and surrounding communities. Such as a 50 meter indoor aquatic facility and program pool for lessons! Please contact us at 5157774740 for more of my insight if interested! Before I became a PE teacher and coach, I managed a pool, taught lessons and was the Harrison County Red Cross Water Safety Chairman. Learning to swim is vital for all youth. Our current pool has served our community & school youth in ensuring all learn how to enjoy and be safe around water. I see nothing that can replace our current way to serve all Urbandale youth through the school program or summer program.

A SPECIAL CLASS OF SENIORS This spring marks the final season for five seniors with the University of Northern Iowa baseball program: Jeremy Bunkers, Jason Eldridge, Aaron Lubach, Scott Schirmer and Jesse Zimmer. It also figures to be the final campaign for junior Matt Cobb, who plans to graduate in the spring and attend medical school at Kansas in the future. Over the past three seasons, this senior class has a record of 86-79, and they need 27 wins to become the winningest senior class in Panther baseball history. For seniors Aaron Lubach and Scott Schirmer, it marks the culmination of a ca­ reer that included a 32-23 season in 1997. In that season, the Panthers finished second in the Missouri Valley Conference, as Schirmer was named to the all-MVC honorable men­ tion team. Last season Lubach was used as both closer and set-up man, notching a perfect 3-0 record in the process.
