Council adopts ordinance setting pool hours, keeping admission rates the same
Summary
The council approved Ordinance 2026-03 establishing summer pool hours (closed Wednesdays, extended family day Monday) and keeping admission fees at last year nd asked staff to track attendance and expenses during a one-year monitoring period.
The city council approved Ordinance 2026-03 on April 21, 2026, setting the pool'026 summer operating schedule and keeping admission fees at last year—igures while treating the season as a tracking year for expenses and attendance.
City staff recommended the schedule changes after staffing challenges last season. The adopted hours close the pool on Wednesdays for maintenance, keep Thursday through Saturday open noon to 6 p.m., designate Monday as a family day (no private parties) from noon to 10 p.m., and preserve limited evening private-party rentals on other days. Staff said admission rates remain unchanged from the prior year; the pool manager and volunteers will pilot new family-night and fundraising ideas to boost visibility.
Council members emphasized the need for reliable record-keeping for admissions and wages. "We need to be able to see how much we brought in and how much we spent on wages," one council member said, stressing that better ledger-style tracking will inform future rate decisions. The council approved the ordinance and asked staff to return with a tracking plan and any recommended adjustments in future budget discussions.
The ordinance passed on a recorded motion and was adopted by unanimous vote.
