FINANCIAL STATEMENT : Cost to City $14, 330 less $1 , 000 contribution from
DHS Athletic Booster Club
DESCRIPTION At the January 9, 1989 meeting of the Dublin City
Council, the Council considered a request from the Dublin Joint Unified
School District (DJUSD) to utilize the Dublin Swim Center for use by the
high school swim team. Use was requested from February 2-June 1 and
Staff estimated that it would cost the City approximately $30,000 to
operate the pool during this time. Although the City Council was in
support of making the pool available for the swim team, they were not in
favor of subsidizing the entire cost of operation for such limited use.
Consequently, Staff was directed to meet with representatives from the
School District to ascertain the financial commitment that the School
District was willing to make towards the operation of the Swim Center.
The DJUSD Board of Directors considered this matter at their January 18
meeting, and have indicated that they are unable to contribute funds
towards the operation of the pool (Exhibit A) . However, they
have indicated that the DHS Athletic Booster Club would be willing to
contribute up to $1 , 000 to help pay for the costs the City will incur.
Additionally, they have indicated that greater use of the pool is
anticipated by DHS and Wells Middle School physical education classes.
Presently, the pool is not operational as the pump needs to be replaced
and the boiler has to be repaired. Staff is in the process of preparing
bid documents for replacement of the pump and anticipates awarding the
bid at the February 27 meeting of the City Council. Based on a four-six
week delivery and installation period, Staff estimates that the pool will
not be available for use until April 10. Consequently, Staff has
prepared a revised cost estimate based on an April 10 opening date.
GAS ELEC WATER MAINTENANCE TOTAL
APRIL 3, 000 1 ,960 720 1 , 600 7, 280
MAY 2, 500 1 , 650 900 2, 000 7, 050
TOTAL 5,500 3,610 1 ,620 3,600 14,330
It should be noted that until the pump is replaced and working, repairs
to the boiler cannot be made. Thus, the April 10 opening date is simply
an estimate and may vary depending on the extent of repair needed to the
boiler. However, Staff will be working as quickly as possible to make
the necessary repairs.
As the season for the Dublin High School is currently in progress, it is
important that a decision be reached as soon as possible regarding early
opening of the Swim Center. Therefore, Staff has identified the
following alternatives:
1 . Deny the request for use by DJUSD.
2. Approve the request for use by DJUSD contingent upon the
installation of a new pump and repairs to the boiler prior to the
end of the season.

again requesting that the swimming pool be opened as soon as possible and
HeinzGewing that it be available for use by the Dublin High School swim team.
District Office During the discussion, several suggestions were made:
7471 Larkdale Ave
Dublin,CA 94568-1599 1 . That the time available to the swim team also be open to 15-20 students
(415)828-2551 Kzsi from Wells Middle School , allowing use of the pool by a larger number
of students.
High Schools
DUBLIN HIGH 2. That a comprehensive Joint Facility Use Agreement be worked out allowing
8151 Village Parkway physical education classes at Dublin High School to use the swimming
Dublin,CA 94568-1699 pool during part of the school day.

VALLEY HIGH Our Board of Trustees heard a report from the Head Coach of the Dublin
6901 York Drive High Swim Team. The Coach, with the help of the swim team Booster Club,
Dublin,CA 94568-2100 has offered to raise $1 ,000 to help pay for the costs the city will incur.
(415)829-4322 The District would like to offer the following:
Middle Schools 1 . The District will employ the Coach and Assistant Coach and be responsible
WELLS MIDDLE SCHOOL for providing certification in Standard First Aid and Cardiopulmonary

(415)8281037 It is obvious that the District will be making only a small financial
MURRAY ELEMENTARY commitment at this time. However, our budget does not allow us to make
Davona an additional financial contribution to help defray the costs of opening

(415)828-2568 and maintaining the pool at this time. As we continue to work on the
NIELSEN ELEMENTARY planning for the joint use of school district facilities with the city,
7500 Amarillo Road we anticipate including provisions that will cover the areas of the swimming
