Parks superintendent reports on pool repairs; board flags need to review admission fees
Summary
Park staff reported interior pool-house painting, pending floor and plumbing work, and signaled a likely review of admission fees after neighboring pools raised prices. No contract had been finalized with the pool operator at the time of the meeting.
Park Superintendent Fowler reported that staff painted the interior of the pool house and that remaining work includes floor painting and minor plumbing repairs. Fowler said colder weather delayed some maintenance tasks and that staff intend to complete the remaining work in-house when temperatures permit.
Fowler told the board he had been in contact with the pool vendor (identified in the transcript as Westport Pools and another company that recently changed its name) but that no contract had been finalized. He advised the board that nearby pools in Union and Washington had raised daily admission fees by $1 and increased multi-entry punch-card costs and annual-pass prices; he said the Parks Board should review admission pricing once a contract is available so the board can consider any fee adjustments.
Fowler also reported routine maintenance updates — snack bar cleaned, veterans' plaques showing normal age-related wear, and a hot-water-tank issue at Liberty Field that staff had repaired. The board did not take formal action on pool fees or contracts during the meeting.
