Sharon said the center operates at an approximate $600,000 annual loss on a $1.1 million budget and that Ivins' share, calculated by usage, amounted to roughly $50,000 this year. Staff provided user-share numbers: St. George residents accounted for about 57% of visits, Santa Clara about 7.75%, Ivins about 8.36% and nonresidents about 26.52%.
Sharon said the city has asked the pool’s operating partner to allow Ivins city employees free access (not extended to family members); the pool operator has not responded. Council discussed marketing and user-survey options to better understand barriers to increased paid use, and noted St. George pays for capital costs and nonresident fees.
The discussion was informational only; council did not change the interlocal agreement or vote on policy. Members asked staff to inform residents about the city's ongoing financial commitment and to explore further options to reduce net subsidy.
