Council member raises concern over 'Two Rivers' pool-inspection takeover and fees
Summary
Council member Corey said the city was being asked to pay Two Rivers about $200 plus state fees to license and certify pools and said he would investigate whether a legislative bill authorized the change.
Council member Corey told colleagues the city had received complaints that an entity referred to as "Two Rivers" was taking over pool inspections and charging new fees.
"They just wanna charge us now $200 plus we have to pay the state," Corey said, adding he thought the arrangement "seemed like sort of a sham scam" and that he wanted to verify whether a legislative bill authorized the change.
Corey said he would investigate the matter, seek clarity on the statutory authorization and bring interested local district representatives into future discussions. He asked council members to contact him if they wanted to be involved in follow-up and said he would "do some digging" and return an update at a future meeting.
Why it matters: changes in inspection providers or fee structures for public pools can affect municipal budgets, pool operators and the public's access to safe, licensed facilities.
No vote or formal direction was recorded; the item was an informational update and staff follow-up was requested.
