Livermore mayor asks county for help after pool filtration upgrade, seeks funds for restrooms and roof
Summary
Billy Scott, mayor of Livermore, told supervisors the city installed a new filtration system last year to meet state rules and now seeks county help for restroom and guard-shack roof repairs; attendance and revenue details discussed and staff will draft an agreement to document county support.
Billy Scott, mayor of Livermore, and the city maintenance worker described recent upgrades to the town pool and asked Humboldt County supervisors for assistance with further repairs.
Scott said the city invested about $100,000 last year in a filtration system to meet state requirements and now plans to replace the roof on the guard shack and upgrade restroom facilities. Nate, the city maintenance worker, described the pool's new configuration — multiple fiberglass filters, new pumps and controllers — that reduced manual testing and improved operation. The mayor said average daily attendance on mild days is roughly 30 people and that the pool draws visitors from neighboring towns.
Supervisors asked whether the city has asked for a particular dollar amount; Scott said last year's county contribution was around $1,517.50 and that the town gets substantial local donations and partner support. County staff said a written agreement will be needed to document any county payment and to ensure compliance with county accounting rules.
Council and county members discussed next steps for repairs and a possible liner for the pool's concrete surface; Scott said the city will coordinate with county staff and await a proposed county agreement.
No formal board vote on Livermore's request occurred at the meeting; staff said they will prepare required paperwork for the county file.
