These would include locker room renovation, roof replacement, egress compliance, and lobby, exterior, gymnasium, and meeting room updates (p. Part of the cost confusion arises because reported expenses for RAL pool repairs are being conflated with projected improvements and repairs to the entire RAL facility not related to the pool.
