Minutes:
The Assistant Director, Regeneration and Culture presented a report to brief Charity Committee members on the issues of continuing flood mitigation works in the basement of the White Rock Baths, and agree to bring forward the budgeted lines for a second sump pump into the 19/20 financial year.
Due to continued concern of the tenant regarding a catastrophic flood event, and the fact that the position of the current pump, the physical labour needed to service it, and a number of flood events which have happened to date, it is recommended the following initiatives be brought forward into this financial year. Subject to finalising designs and costs with the specialist pump installation firm spending would be as follows:
a. Installing 2 hired sump pumps and raisings them on accessible platforms: budget £10,000 one off cost.
Total cost of doubling up hired in sump pump installation to improve resilience: budget maximum annual hire cost of £16,000/annum.
b. Raising the wall mounted lower basement distribution gear & replacing current board: £5,000 one off cost.
c. Annual water jetting clearance of the concealed channels that allow incoming ground water to flow from beneath the main skate bowl towards the lower basement sump pumps: £2000 per annum.
It was confirmed that the Coastal Users’ Group endorsed the report at the meeting on 11th June.
The Assistant Director informed the Committee that since publication the recommendations have been amended to agree to bring forward £10,000 from the next financial year and £8,000 from the reserves.
Councillor Rogers proposed a motion to approve the recommendations as amended, seconded by Councillor Batsford.
RESOLVED (unanimously):
1. That the committee agree to move £10,000 from 20/21 into this financial year and utilise £8,000 from the reserves to pay for the additional sump pump.
2. To commission relevant contactors to undertake work up to the value of £23,000 (inclusive of the £18,000 above, and utilising up to a further £5,000 from reserves) in this financial year.
Reasons for the recommendations:
Early intervention with regard to flood mitigation works will prove more cost effective in the long term in addressing potential flooding in the lower basement of the White Rock Baths.
