Committee to compile three-year pool revenue/expense comparisons as step toward planning
Summary
The committee asked staff to compile three years of Cross Plains pool revenues and expenses and to gather comparable data from two similar pools (Maso and Spring Green) so the pool committee and parks staff can better estimate operating-cost implications of a future pool project.
The Finance Advisory Enhancement Committee asked staff to assemble three years of historical operating data for the Cross Plains pool and to seek comparable operating figures from two similarly sized pools (Maso and Spring Green). The goal is to create a baseline to estimate annual operating costs and staffing needs for any potential pool project.
Staff said they have preliminary 2022 numbers and asked the pool committee and volunteers to help obtain budgets or open-records requests for comparators. Sarah was identified as the lead contact to coordinate with the pool committee and to obtain size/operational details (lane counts, fenced area) that affect staffing requirements. Lauren volunteered to contact one comparator (Maso) and staff will seek the second.
Why it matters: Accurate operating-cost benchmarking will inform feasibility planning and long-term budgeting for pool improvements and staffing implications.
Staff follow-up: Staff will collect three years of Cross Plains pool financials, gather comparator data from Maso and Spring Green (via public records or direct requests), and return findings to the committee at the next meeting.
