SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
In the 2018 budget, the Board of Trustees authorized $63,500 for the restoration of the Water Slide at the Erie Community Center (ECC). Staff has determined that the slide is in need of restoration based on the following criteria:
• Age - The slide is 10 years old and is in need of refurbishment to avoid any significant repairs and possible safety issues that can lead to injury and shut down
• Wear and Tear - The slide is in need of a new gel coat (needs to be done about every 10 years), new hardware (bolts, washers, and nuts) to replace rusted hardware, and new caulking to fix leaks
• Stains - Age and chemicals from pool have led to discoloration of flume and chemical build up on the inside and outside of flume
• Repairs - To fix all leaks that are unreachable for aquatics staff, repair chipping and rusting of slide stairs, repainting of slide structure supports
Areas of restoration include: Erie Community Center Pool Water Slide and Slide Tower
