Mayor Brennan told council the city must perform significant maintenance at Purvis Park pool to prepare for the 2026 season, including replacing the sand filter system, repairing or replacing the boiler and locating and resolving a leak that caused staff to top off the pool every morning. "We will need to do a fair amount of work at Purvis Park Pool to ensure it will be ready for 2026, including but not limited to replacing the sand filter system, repairing or replacing the boiler, and locating and resolving the leak in the pool," he said.

The mayor also reported the installation of an electronic messaging sign at the pool and that the city will include continued pool funding in the 2026 budget. Recreation committee members said the pool's physical plant is aging and preventive and predictive maintenance planning is needed. The recreation committee will schedule meetings to consider maintenance priorities and budget impacts.

Next steps: The service and recreation departments will develop cost estimates and proposals for the 2026 budget cycle; committee meetings are planned to coordinate a maintenance strategy to avoid future mid‑season disruptions.
