Summary
City manager reported Oct. 7 that the city is beginning tentative agreements with Monrovia Unified School District to open elementary school playgrounds after hours and to address the community pool; the district is separately discussing full replacement of the pool.
City Manager Dylan told the council on Oct. 7 that Monrovia is pursuing tentative partnerships with the Monrovia Unified School District that could open elementary school playgrounds to the public after hours and address repairs at the community pool.
In his report Dylan said talks are underway with the school district to partner on repairs this year and to explore opening elementary school yards as additional recreational space. The recap noted Dylan used the word "repair" for the pool, while school-district conversations reported elsewhere have included discussion of a complete pool replacement because the current facility may be "unrepairable." The transcript records those distinctions but does not show any final agreement or contract authorized by council at this meeting.
Why it matters: opening school playgrounds after hours and repairing or replacing the pool would increase recreational access for residents and require coordination between the city and the school district. The transcript recommends waiting for the school-district recap for details on any district-funded replacement plan.
What the record shows and does not show: the city manager described tentative agreements and interest in partnerships; the transcript does not include a signed agreement, specific project budget or a council vote to authorize spending on pool replacement.
