Committee discusses pool project timing and fundraising amid Village Hall/Police Station budget concerns
Summary
Committee members said the pool project’s timeline and fundraising hinge on Village Hall/Police Station bids and debt levels; plaster repair for the current pool was estimated at roughly $350,000–$400,000, complicating fundraising decisions.
Committee members spent a substantial portion of the meeting discussing the status of a potential pool project and how it relates to the Village Hall/Police Station construction and overall debt capacity.
Speaker 3 told the group two decisions are critical for momentum: how much the community can raise for a pool and when funds would be needed. He said the Village Hall/Police Station project and its bids will influence whether it is feasible to pursue another large project now, and noted that the PlayStation (Village Hall/Police Station) project appears to be “quite over budget” at present.
On repair needs for the current pool facility, Speaker 3 said the plaster would likely cost in the range of $350,000 to $400,000 to redo. Committee members discussed whether the village would sell the existing pool property to offset a new facility and whether timing and bids would affect whether fundraising should proceed now or be delayed.
Speakers agreed the board’s priorities currently center on the Village Hall/Police Station work and that the pool would likely follow after those issues are settled; several members urged consistent messaging before any public fundraising push. No formal funding decision or vote on the pool was taken at the meeting.
