O'Bering said that, because the program is still in the design phase, current spending is concentrated on design services and looks similar to the previous month. She told the committee that larger construction spending is expected in years two and three of the program.

In partnership with the procurement and contracts department, staff will begin a quarterly business-review program on Sept. 2; for the first period, staff will evaluate only September rather than the full July–September quarter, then move to standard quarterly cycles. The QBR will evaluate contract compliance, supplier performance and supplier risk management against predefined criteria. Staff said landscape and architect suppliers have already been informed of the process.

Kevin Immelt, director of finance, and Tracy Matlock, accounting supervisor, were present for the financial update; staff said they will coordinate with public-works estimates and recent bid documents to check construction and earthwork cost assumptions for forthcoming projects such as Bellevue. The committee heard that staff plan to use QBR findings to objectively evaluate supplier performance, address contractor issues early and promote collaboration through the contracting period.

Staff listed next steps: conduct a second round of community engagement events, prepare materials for council presentations (with Bellevue scheduled for Sept. 15 and other contract approvals expected in early October) and hold the next oversight committee meeting on Sept. 25 at 2 p.m.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Parks and Recreation Bond Oversight Committee - August 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Staff told the oversight committee they will begin a quarterly business review for suppliers starting Sept. 2 to evaluate contract compliance, supplier performance and supplier risk, and staff described current spending as largely design-phase.","taxTitle","Englewood City, Arapahoe County, Colorado","taxId",52219,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6476803,"Englewood oversight committee reviews Barr Park arboretum, Bellevue farm relocation and other park projects",736,685000,1421000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5716814-8ec8d9e4639d68762c078232e4c1f69d&start=685&end=1421","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5716814-8ec8d9e4639d68762c078232e4c1f69d/thumbnail_685000.jpg","/articles/6476803/Englewood-City/Arapahoe-County/Colorado/Englewood-oversight-committee-reviews-Barr-Park-arboretum-Bellevue-farm-relocation-and-other-park-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6476803-fce86a56ef34fc97b0e38704068e48e0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149909&Signature=A7qHKNu4YKhmwhVPe-8pminJGJ2HL3-Nv5yRraNxMXvccZqGMuB-GKeaKcF1aqR-ZuMq9BqNC2Rm1qjAx0Fe28J-aeF0M12J0UKr1UHEtIyYcuwLNFxd6veUBqp3bfW7M5x72gXNGcUtYKtjn3tazlAJsPRRBQv8yGT7qJrOUJUhbGEGWRjUsOdVpNr-jc3yyuSz-s6Wb0TXtv0EAZMM0xyKdEUe6H3--xIxOMKqUMEjnRVSBDXXX085F347LgsH5ysdd4uKmSsWmNmC5vGzz-OMlutncMRNhWqITzP2NCZ~RSOjieKpinkyoGtWniTRbmajxyzZ7ZUNWpRqsRv-SA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Adrian Torres, Englewood City open space manager, briefed the Renew and Recreate Parks and Rec Bond oversight committee on a suite of park projects and community engagement efforts.

Barr Park: Staff said the concept is leaning toward an arboretum to showcase tree varieties, add shade and provide education in partnership with schools. The first community open house was Aug. 19 and the online survey remains open through Sept. 2. Two concept styles were presented to residents; respondents were roughly split but favored a concept that retains turf while adding planting islands and demonstration beds.

Bellevue Park and farm: Staff reported they are wrapping up a feasibility study and are seeking a site outside the FEMA flood plain for greater visibility. The committee was told the city will present a Bellevue design contract for phase 2 to city council on Sept. 15; staff said the farm will be rebuilt at the new site and the existing farm is expected to remain open until the new facility is complete.

Cushing Park: Construction has started; fencing is up and playground equipment has been removed. Staff said they anticipate playground installation in November and hope to finish the project in 2025. Communications staff will post construction graphics on fencing so neighbors can see planned improvements.

Miller (Millerfield): The design team is exploring stormwater-capture ideas (including bioretention) and working with the city stormwater manager. The preferred concept from community engagement includes a playground, splash pad, restrooms and preserved ball fields; staff also reached out to a descendant of the Miller family to preserve site history.

Northwest Greenbelt and Rotolo: Staff said a second community open house for Northwest Greenbelt is tentatively scheduled for September. The Rotolo construction contract has completed RFP and evaluation stages and is in contract negotiations; staff said they likely will not take the contract to city council on Oct. 6 as originally anticipated.

Victor Rochelle, public works director, and other staff encouraged cross-department coordination on earthwork and construction-estimate details; staff offered to share bid documents and cost estimates from recent projects to help with conservative estimating for Bellevue and other large earthwork projects.","Open houses, feasibility work and construction updates were reported across several parks projects: Barr Park arboretum concepts, Bellevue farm relocation out of the FEMA flood plain, Cushing construction underway, Millerfield stormwater ideas and the Rotolo contract process.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6476808,"Englewood plans larger Pirates Cove pool with deep-water and diving features after public input",108,445000,553000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5716814-8ec8d9e4639d68762c078232e4c1f69d&start=445&end=553","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5716814-8ec8d9e4639d68762c078232e4c1f69d/thumbnail_445000.jpg","/articles/6476808/Englewood-City/Arapahoe-County/Colorado/Englewood-plans-larger-Pirates-Cove-pool-with-deep-water-and-diving-features-after-public-input","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6476808-ad152e5114697acd0293b91172390c2f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149909&Signature=gHUt3TLlGu0d3fEnGESPIDTCfL~cXQgzSpX79t6Uih~4N3PcQjjzew36isNT9TWD-ZssfcIqVj9gM0LCzh22SWaNwIfIfU4ax88aVg5Zm42D1Yw1JSzXzTeagrrfMf9dGR5pt1kCEuZHW-BJqHkpu3A45DOCQnRFLSv7EG0Y77k1~nEN2cDBzxJMeVqRPkSkJLSMv6f3fOtb4cunJYpd5UPZWNB7d77rCF22kKjlzGd5GNs7z5Tx~yCZyhKbWksM9PzSmmVEuzSCCq9Z0rn7tXN5tQ84joJ6cRdiuH6SUUfFayyQXunWaCHsg1mDub~8Z2UvofqO~psWZYp7SoV9qQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the Renew and Recreate Parks and Rec Bond oversight committee meeting, Brad Anderson, deputy director of parks and recreation, reported results of an Aug. 5 open house and an online survey for the Pirates Cove pool project and described design elements the city plans to include.

Anderson said 30 community members attended the open house and 25 lifeguards stopped by; the online survey drew 123 respondents. Staff reported that 35.8% of respondents said they attend Pirates Cove at least weekly, and that the main age group among respondents is children ages 5 to 14. Most respondents reported living in Englewood for more than five years and a plurality were in the 35–44 age range.

Staff said the preferred features identified by respondents — a multiple-passenger slide, underwater benches, a lily-pad-style water crossing and diving/jump features — are incorporated into the current project scope. The project will include a deep-water area to allow for deep-water exercise classes and a diving feature; staff said the deep area is expected to be about 11 feet deep.

Gina O'Bering, project manager, and Anderson said Pirates Cove is expected to remain open for the full next season and that construction is not anticipated to start until next August. Staff noted there could be limited impacts (for example, weekend-only schedule changes in August) but said the facility will be kept open through the season; staff described a target reopening around Memorial Day weekend but did not specify a year.

Staff also said most suggestions for locker-room cleaning and operations can be managed through regular operations and specifically will inform 2026 seasonal planning. The committee heard that the design team intends to continue outreach and incorporate resident preferences in the final design.","Staff reported strong community interest in retaining deep-water programming at Pirates Cove and presented survey and open-house results that shaped the renovation scope; construction not expected to begin until next August and the facility is expected to remain open through the upcoming season.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6476813,"Englewood oversight committee: recreation center design on track, community review planned",82,283000,365000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5716814-8ec8d9e4639d68762c078232e4c1f69d&start=283&end=365","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5716814-8ec8d9e4639d68762c078232e4c1f69d/thumbnail_283000.jpg","/articles/6476813/Englewood-City/Arapahoe-County/Colorado/Englewood-oversight-committee-recreation-center-design-on-track-community-review-planned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6476813-225d20375e282456e7d73630a406b4a0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149909&Signature=D7V6te3ojAtgB-SVykPy554tRoa1gQ9dfecDXHZUmepcEKceC7ZzPB-EKDkLla1s4DnOz571TID~gahC7EVJsARrKUbmTb6b5fNeh~XsM2me~5CG0BBS3uKfH6na3I8kBEl9MQU7FGgJjQ7tnZn~u6XKrmbbUhWh4-erV50H7xHuo68bpoqjk22u2Uo245j19tjmwvbtc4EU8MeCDkHv37DhJiiotx-UVu7TsBUP9p4sUpUGd2od2X48e7uGFieQYNgaR~s88VWp1dRv-Ayh-25bWurg5lkPk8ZMYZRfKTF4D6JOdL2Xt4MfslVkTskZnu53HQ2wgbMH4rbCPKRYhA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a monthly meeting of the Renew and Recreate Parks and Rec Bond oversight committee, Gina O'Bering, project manager for the Parks and Rec bond, said the recreation center design is on schedule and moving into design-development work.

O'Bering told the committee the project team has received input from an online survey — 63 responses — and is refining locker-room layouts and other details based on how visitors use the facility. Brad Anderson, deputy director of parks and recreation, said the design team is preparing 100% of the design deliverables and that initial cost estimates have arrived and appear to fit within the project budget, though some desirable alternatives may be deferred.

The design team will present the project to the city development-review team for comment and expects to host another community event in September or October to gather additional public input. Anderson said the project is then expected to move into design development and later to formal review steps required for permitting. Sarah Stamp, recreation manager, said the public open houses and surveys have produced “a lot of great conversations” and that many community suggestions are being incorporated in the design.

Committee members and staff emphasized continued outreach: communications staff produced a vertical timeline display used at recent neighborhood events and the block party to encourage discussion, and staff said they will bring that a-frame display to future community meetings.

Next steps listed by staff include advancing design development, scheduling the fall community event, and preparing permit and review materials for the development-review process. The committee's next meeting is scheduled for Sept. 25 at 2 p.m.","Project manager Gina O'Bering and design staff told the Renew and Recreate oversight committee the recreation center design is nearing completion, with design development next and another community event planned for fall.","actionData","errors"]
