Red Hook board explores renting Camp Rising Sun pool to expand public access
Loading...
Summary
The board discussed renting Camp Rising Sun's 40-by-80-foot pool for town use, asked staff to develop staffing and budget options (lifeguards, hours, rent) and to schedule a site visit; the camp would perform maintenance and water testing while the town would handle lifeguards and pay rent.
The Town Board discussed a request from the Camp Rising Sun foundation asking whether the town would be interested in renting the camp pool for public use this summer.
Supervisor said the pool is a 40-by-80-foot facility; the foundation would retain a grounds person and perform daily water testing and routine maintenance. The town's obligations would likely include paying rent (to be quoted by the foundation) and providing lifeguards; the board discussed options including full-season operations, weekend-only service, or limited lap-swim windows to balance hours and staffing costs. Members asked whether the town's liability coverage would change; the supervisor said municipal coverage generally extends to town-managed programs but that the insurer should be notified and staff would confirm details.
Board asked rec staff to tour the pool, gather price options (A/B proposals for hours/days), and prepare a budget for lifeguard staffing and routine operations. No rental agreement or appropriation was approved on March 25.
