Ojai council approves one‑year pilot to open Nordhoff Pool for Sundays and summer; YMCA lessons added as option
Summary
After public comment and staff analysis, the council authorized staff to proceed with a one‑year pilot to operate open swim and lap swim at Nordhoff Pool (Sundays and summer vacation days), including proposed partnerships with the YMCA and Lane4; estimated first‑year cost for a limited schedule was roughly $57,000–$60,000.
The city council voted to authorize staff to implement a one‑year pilot to operate community aquatics programming at Nordhoff Pool, after receiving a status update on prior council direction and public comment from residents and local advocacy groups. Staff presented a range of options: a minimum program of Sunday open swim and lap swim (cost estimated at roughly $28,000 for Sundays plus $28,000 for 12 weeks of summer vacation coverage in the illustrative budget), a broader city‑run model (roughly $57,000–$60,000), and a model that includes YMCA‑provided swim lessons that could push total first‑year costs toward the $100,000 range.
