The lifetime cost estimate is $6,880,000, from Per 5-year CIP detail export FY2026-31 (filter STB007, total expense across years) (May 28, 2026). Source: Source: cip_transactions; need staff-report total to confirm whether $6.88M is the full life cost or just 5-year window. The funding gap is the estimated lifetime cost minus all funding that has not been lost, added up from the funding sources listed below. Year-by-year figures come from the City's adopted five-year capital plan.

›Bay Area Regional Energy Network grant - hot water heatersPending$300,000BayREN (regional) · construction
Conditions: Grant application submitted
Per web search of menlopark.gov sustainability pages: $300K grant APPLICATION (not award) for hot water heaters at Burgess Pool.
›Peninsula Clean Energy GovPV Solar ProgramAnticipated—Peninsula Clean Energy (regional) · construction
City pursuing PV solar at Burgess Pool via PCE Solar and Storage GovPV program. Amount TBD. Solar systems energized at the Burgess Park campus through the Peninsula Clean Energy GovPV program (May 28, 2026 Public Budget Workshop, ~31:45).
›Communitywide Electrification Home Upgrade Services (May 2025 progress)Anticipated—City of Menlo Park (city) · design
Conditions: Per May 27, 2025 progress report, Burgess Pool is among facilities targeted for electrification under the citywide program.
Cross-reference: this project is also tracked under the CEC AB 179 grant (grant_id CEC-AB179-ELECTRIFICATION) for the income-qualified household portion at BHCDC, but the Burgess Pool sub-project itself sources funding from a mix including BayREN grant (pending), PCE GovPV (anticipated), and likely City capital reserves. Total cost basis still requires confirmation against a project-specific staff report.
