Thomas said by the time the project underwent design changes and rebidding to stay within the budget, the original concept was changed. Then came a period of waiting. Waiting for electrical fixtures to be shipped; waiting for tiles that were unavailable when ordered; waiting for lockers to be shipped, at the manufacturers time table. An estimated time of completion went from two months to six months. In the meantime the pool remained open while the interior was being torn down. When the contractors needed to work in one area, contents were moved to another part of the building. People never knew where they would be dressing when they came to swim, said Thomas. It became a public .joke. People would come and say, Which locker room today? They were correspondent CLEARFIELD Life aint easy, especially when taking on rClh$,task of remodeling a facility sze the Clearfield Swim- ming Pool. The work that was obvious to the public began in July 1986. UiBut effort startle Cd two years ago. Jack Bippes, city engineer, had ZZ just been hired and his first as- ; signment was to draw up plans to ' remodel the pool. It was quite a behind-the-scen- challenge, es he said. Ideas for improving the pool were submitted by pool staff members, as well as administration, to the city manager and City Council, who reviewed them. The remainder of the work then passed on to Bippes, who was to come up with a design for traffic control, lighting and many other changes, and still keep within the budget. Originally the plans called for '"recessed lighting in dropped ceiling, wainscoting, and tiles on all locker rooms walls for mainte- nance purposes, Bippes said. ..However, the costs were too (l,high and were eventually pared down to 75 percent of early estimates.

It took several more design ren- 'editions and changing of the quali-ty!products to be used before ; great. There was dust, dirt from walls being tom down, hammering and pounding, drilling and welding, as well as odors of the various activities going on, but the public still came, watching the workers as they swam. Remodeling of the building was carried out in three phases. Saunders Construction Co. of Ogden, successful bidder for the project, repainted the entire facility and installed carpet. The cashier area was completely redesigned for better traffic control, a new front counter was installed with built-i- n storage, new directional 1 of - . ... - u Cv.V ' . .

The pilot light on the boiler would not stay lit, and because of the cold weather the water was colder coming into the pool and could not be brought up to temperature. About the same time, it was noticed that the water was not being purified correctly, and suds were forming on the top, due to the dust and dirt generated by the remodeling. This in turn necessitated postponing the grand opening, scheduled for the end of January, while a solution was found. The grand opening was reset for 1 and a week of activiFeb. ties planned. Mayor Neldon Hamblin, coun- 16-2- and city recreation cilmen James Hurst and Ivan derson, and An- councilwoman Shirley Reed were on hand for the ribbon-cuttin- g ceremony where Bippes was presented a plaque for the design of the pool. Debra Ledkins, chairperson over the grand opening, also received a plaque in appreciation of her efforts. Said Roger Thomas, recreation director, of the grand opening, My son was out of school and wanted to go swimming on the first day. On the way I thought of all that had happened over the last two years and worried that people wouldnt come out for the grand opening after all that work by so many people. I cant tell you the feeling I had when we drove up and the parking lot was full.
