Updating and Upgrading of Marian Bergeson Aquatics Center at Corona del Mar
High School
Background
The CDM Aquatics Facilities Foundation ( "CCAFF ") is a non -profit corporation,
incorporated in the State of California on April 27, 2006, comprised of members of the Newport
Beach aquatics community. CCAFF was established to oversee and implement the design,
planning, construction, and community fundraising efforts in support of the updating and
upgrading of the Marian Bergeson Aquatics Complex ( "MBAC ") located on the campus of
Corona del Mar High School in Newport Beach, California. MBAC is subject to a joint use
agreement (the "Joint Use Agreement") between the Newport-Mesa Unified School District
( "NMUSD ") and the City of Newport Beach ( "CNB ").
The pool was put into service in 1990 after construction was completed with funds
contributed by the CNB, NMUSD, and donations from many businesses and individuals
throughout the community. Since it opened, MBAC has been used daily, nearly year- round, for
aquatics activities ranging from high school water polo and swim teams, physical education
classes, and various community -wide aquatics programs, including youth water polo,
competitive swimming, adult lap swimming, seasonal swimming instruction, life guard training,
and much, much more. MBAC has also served as a venue for many regional, national, and
international aquatics competitions and events.
Nearly seventeen years have passed since MBAC was completed. Major maintenance
work is required to repair and stop further deterioration of, and to update and upgrade the
facility, as well as to preserve an asset important the school and community. Specifically, the
pool needs to be re- plastered, the deck and drainage systems need to be repaired, the office
needs to be remodeled to provide private work spaces for the high school coaches and CNB
representatives operating CNB's programs, new restrooms, including locker rooms, and shade
structures must be installed over the bleachers, wiring for the score board and public address
system needs to be updated and repaired, and much more. CCAFF estimates that the project

will cost nearly $1.4 million.

In December, 2005, NMUSD officials, following multiple meetings throughout 2005 with
members of CCAFF and representatives of CNB, acknowledged that under the Joint Use
Agreement, NMUSD is responsible for replastering the pool, repainting of interior & exterior of
buildings, repairing /replacing heat exchangers, & general facility maintenance & repairs. On
June 27, 2006, the Newport Beach City Council approved a challenge pledge of $290,000 for
its 2006 -2007 budget to cover a portion of the cost of the project. On August 22, 2006,
NMUSD authorized replastering of the pool and various other required repairs to the pool deck,
deck drainage system, and other similar maintenance items, and allocated $250,000 from the
2006 -07 budget to pay for the approved work. NMUSD staff was also directed to cooperate
with CCAFF in connection with the planning of the project.
Action Plan
To date, CCAFF has obtained architectural concept designs reflecting the proposed
updating and upgrading of MBAC. The designs, prepared pro bono by an architect with a child
on CDMHS aquatics teams, were developed through the collaborative efforts of
representatives of the CNB, NMUSD, CDMHS administration and aquatics coaching staffs,
and members of the Newport Beach Aquatics community. CCAFF has also confirmed
conceptual support for the project from the various Interested parties and user groups.
As mentioned above, CNB approved a challenge pledge of $290,000 for its 2006 -2007
budget on June 27, 2006. NMUSD has budgeted $250,000 to pay for replastering the pool,
repairs to the deck and drainage. CCAFF will seek contributions from major donors, and
organize and undertake a community -based fund raising campaign to raise the remaining
$800,000 -$1 million representing the communitys portion of the cost of the project. CCAFF's
goal is to raise a substantial amount of money from the Newport Beach aquatics community by
the end of 2006, and achieve its goals by June, 2007.
CCAFF is ready to accept tax deductible pledges and donations by check or credit card.

Dear Friends:
We are writing to you on behalf of the CDM Community Aquatics Facilities Foundation, comprised of
members of the Newport Beach aquatics community. CCAFF works to implement the planning, construction and
fund- raising needed to update and upgrade the Marian Bergeson Aquatics Center on the campus of Corona del Mar
High School. This effort will require contributions from the City of Newport Beach, the Newport -Mesa Unified
School District, and the community.
From the day the facility opened in 1990, participation in aquatics activities has enjoyed explosive growth
in Newport Beach. A flagship aquatics facility and a valuable community asset, Marian Bergeson Aquatics Center
embodies Newport Beach's rich aquatics traditions, ranging from high school water polo and swim teams, to a wide
range of community youth and adult aquatics programs. It has even served as a venue for many national and
international aquatics competitions.
Seventeen years have passed since construction was completed, and major maintenance work, updating,
and upgrading are desperately needed to preserve and enhance this important community facility. It is estimated
that project costs will exceed $1.3 million. Specific projects include:
• replastering the pool and repairing the deck and deck drainage system
• remodeling the office area to provide private work spaces for coaches and City staff
• construction of new restrooms (including locker rooms and showers) .
• installation of shade structures over the bleachers
• installation of updated wiring, lighting, ventilation, and communications systems
• replacing the score board
The City of Newport Beach has approved a challenge grant, and the Newport -Mesa Unified School District
has allocated funds for the effort. We are committed to raising the community's share of funds by the end of 2006
to get the project underway. An article which appeared in the Daily Pilot on November 16, 2006 is attached for
your reference. Please show your support for aquatics programs in Newport Beach by making a tax-deductible
donation to this project. Please complete the attached Donor and Pledge Form, and return it to CCAFF today with
your check. To donate online using your Visa or MasterCard, please visit our website at

Also, plan to join us on Saturday evening, March 3, 2007 for a gala community -wide event featuring great
music, superb food, and home grown aquatics dignitaries —stay tuned for details.

Sincerely yours,
CCAFF Steering Committee

CdM pool set for huge renovation
+A 1.3 million project, led by a community group, is set to begin at the Sea Kings' pool
In March.
By David Carrillo Perialoza
CORONA DEL MAR — In high school swimming there's not really a home -Feld
edge, but with a $1.3- million renovation possibly kicking off next March at Corona
del Mar's Marian Bergeson Aquatic Center, the Sea Kings will be forced to hit the
road.
The renovation, spearheaded by the CdM Community Aquatics Facilities
Foundation, a nonprofit organization, will shut down -the pool during the boys' and
girls' swimming seasons this spring. The closure will also effect Newport Beach's
community swimming r
programs offered at the
school.
"For the minor
inconvenience of us being
without a pool, it will be OK
because we are going to
have a great facility," said
CdM Athletic Director Paul
Orris, adding that the teams
will most likely practice at a
pool in Harbor View because

Fundraising efforts have begun to upgrade the 16- year -old facility, which is home
to high school swimming, water polo and physical education classes, as well as
city recreational programs such as swimming lessons, adult lap and lifeguard
training.
Angela Kraus, the CCAFF committee chairperson, said the Newport-Mesa
Unified School District has allocated $250,000 to replaster the school's pool and
repair the deck and drainage system. Newport Beach has provided a $290,000
challenge pledge, but it will only award the money to the project if the community
raises $710,000, said Kraus.

"I already think the facility is one of the best around," said Corona del Mar
second -year boys' swimming coach Barry O'Dea. "We're pretty excited it will get
cleaned up a little and especially replastered. I'm not sure if the pool gives us a
home -field advantage, but it's been (17 years) since the last time it was
replastered."
