Jill Zachary, Director of Parks and Recreation speaks on the topic of renovations to the Cabrillo Pavilion.
 
Program:   
 
Jill Zachary began her talk by providing a history of the city’s Cabrillo Pavilion.  The land on East Beach was allocated in 1899 and planning for a recreation building began in 1920.  Money was needed for the construction, and Citizen David Gray made the initial contribution for a building.  The building was finally ready for public use in 1927.  It included a bottom floor dedicated to water sports, with showers, lockers and an outside salt water wading pool and fitness areas and a second floor dedicated to public events such as meetings and dances. During WWII the building was converted to military use and this lasted until 1947.
 
            Because the building is beginning to show its age, plans for a renovation began in 2011 and City Council allocated 13 million for initial restoration.  Architects for the building were from the firm of KDB.  Eighty percent of office space will be moved elsewhere in order to make room for present needed improvements.
 
            Renovations will include upgraded building systems and seismic retrofitting and outdoor lighting, modern locker rooms and showers, indoor elevator, casual beachfront restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining plus a modern catering kitchen.  On the ocean side of the building, there will be a wide boardwalk for the public.
 
            It is expected that the opening of the renovated building will be May 2019.  Note that the building will not be in use during the summer of 2018.  The expected total cost is approximately 15 million and it is anticipated that in order to meet that cost, four million still needs to be raised.
