Commission hears report on forming nonprofit to run proposed community pool
Summary
Commissioners heard a report on stakeholder talks about using a nonprofit to operate a new pool being built by the school district and possible city contributions; commissioners asked to agendize the topic for future discussion.
A commission member reported Thursday on a stakeholder meeting held to explore ways to open a school‑district pool for broader community use. Attendees included school‑district leaders, Ojai Valley Club representatives and community members.
According to the report, stakeholders discussed creating an independent nonprofit to operate the pool, with the nonprofit raising private funds and accepting contributions from the City and the school district to cover operating shortfalls. The commission member said a committee would be formed to work out details, subject to future City Council and school‑board approvals.
The commission noted the item could not be discussed at length because it was raised as a report rather than an agendized action. Commissioners asked that the community‑pool topic be added to a future agenda for fuller discussion and possible formal recommendation to the council.
Commission members asked that any committee work be brought back through the commission and city council for public review.
