Agenda Item # 1
Columbus Consolidated Government
Council Meeting
April 9, 2013
Agenda Report # 53
TO: Mayor and Councilors
SUBJECT: Signage/Naming of Natatorium
INITIATED BY: Lisa Goodwin, Deputy City Manager
Recommendation: Approval is requested to place signage on the new Natatorium
that is scheduled to be complete in May 2013 and open to the public in June.
The Natatorium will be called the ?Columbus Aquatic Center?.
Background: The Project Managers are in the process of completing
signage requirements for the new CSC Campus and the final signage need is for
the Natatorium. For the purpose of identifying the facility, as we?ve done on
other such facilities, such as the Ice Rink, the name, ?Columbus Aquatic
Center? was chosen to identify its purpose.
Analysis: Aquatic Center was chosen over Natatorium in an effort to ensure
more people recognize and readily identify with the term ?aquatic over
natatorium? as we?ve discovered in talking with others and looking at other
like facilities throughout the State and the industry.
Financial Considerations: The cost of the signage will come from project funds
associated with the CSC Project. As you may recall, the CSC Project Budget is
$32.5M with funding from 1999 SPLOST; 2008 LOST and Bond Proceeds. The
Natatorium?s Projected Cost is $10.5M
Legal Considerations: None.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approval is requested authorizing the City Manager
to place signage on the new Natatorium that is scheduled to be complete in May
2013 and open to the public in June. The Natatorium will be called the
?Columbus Aquatic Center?.
