Park Board seeks answers on pool operations, Westport reporting and dechlorination parts
Summary
Park Director reported Westport has delayed some deposits and attendance paperwork; board members raised concern about a promised dechlorination filter/parts that had not arrived and discussed ongoing discharge until the parts are installed.
During the July 15 Park Board meeting, members pressed for updates on pool operations run by contractor Westport and on a dechlorination filter that city staff said remains incomplete.
Park Director Mr. Fowler reported the department had some recent trouble with deposits and reporting from Westport and that the first receipts since the pool opened had just been received. The board reiterated that Westport was expected to provide daily operational reports (day passes, season passes, punch cards) and called for more consistent reporting.
Separately, the board discussed a special filter to dechlorinate water being discharged; Mr. Fowler said parts to attach the filter had not yet arrived and that, until the parts are installed, the system continued to discharge treated water. Members expressed concern about the outstanding parts and said they understood the dechlorination equipment was a condition before opening the pool.
No formal enforcement action or contract change was taken at the meeting; the board said staff should follow up on outstanding parts and reporting with responsible departments and vendors and report back at the next meeting.
