Cactus Pools rebuild moved out of five‑year plan for further study
Summary
The commission recommended moving the proposed Cactus Pool replacement project out of the five‑year capital plan into a future column for more study, and asked staff and report authors to condense concerns for council review.
The Budget Review Commission voted to move the proposed Cactus Pools project out of the five‑year capital improvement plan and into a "future" column so the council and staff can conduct further review.
Commissioners said the project's legacy cost figure and scope appear dated and flagged that the project needs a focused feasibility review before the city commits to design or construction spending. The motion to move the project to the future column passed 7‑0.
Why it matters: The Cactus Pools replacement carries a large stated legacy figure that commissioners described as a potential future budget problem; moving it to a future column delays any capital commitment while prompting a closer feasibility and scope analysis.
Next steps: Staff indicated they expect a $250,000 feasibility planning item to be included for next fiscal year and that the construction placeholder will be taken out of the five‑year horizon and placed into a future column before council adoption, if timing allows.
