Special Board Meeting: Concept Plan for Cordova Community Pool Replacement Project

The Cordova Recreation and Park District Board of Directors will meet to review an increase in the scope of the Cordova Community Pool Replacement project from a one-pool $5.68 million concept to a $9 million two-pool concept.  The increase to a two-pool concept has been made possible by a likely $3.4 million donation from the City of Rancho Cordova, which was preliminarily approved by the City Council on May 21, 2018. The Council is scheduled to vote on a formal resolution related to the donation at its June 4, 2018 meeting.

Time is of the essence for CRPD to move ahead on design and engineering of the pool replacement; therefore a Special Meeting has been scheduled for the CRPD Board of Directors to review, comment and vote whether to approve the two-pool concept.  The one-pool and two-pool concept will be presented by Cordova Recreation and Park District’s consulting firm, LPA, Inc.

The Special Meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, May 29 at 5:30 p.m. at the Rancho Cordova City Hall Council Chambers, 2729 Prospect Park Drive, Rancho Cordova, CA 95670.
