Kasson staff: Cassin Aquatic Center heater work progressing; pool training set for mid-May
Summary
Park staff reported the Cassin Aquatic Center’s heat exchanger is due next week and training is scheduled for the weekend of May 16; staff flagged merchant-services problems delaying online pass sales and noted a contingency to accept payments in person.
Park staff told the Kasson City Park Board that work to ready the Cassin Aquatic Center continues and that they expect the heat exchanger to arrive next week.
Staff said the pool will be filled and heated following safety training scheduled for the weekend of May 16, with the facility expected to be ready the following Monday. They also reported trouble with merchant services on the website that is delaying online sale of season passes; staff said private-party reservations are being taken and that, if necessary, payments can be accepted in person as a fallback so the season is not delayed.
Staff also noted that some shower fixtures use parts that are no longer manufactured, which could require phased replacements or alternate fixtures over time. The board confirmed pavilion rental rates have increased (an example figure noted in the meeting was $45) and that reservations to date are primarily private parties, with no double-bookings reported.
What’s next: staff will continue equipment installation, resolve merchant-services issues or enable in-person payment as contingency, and update the board on readiness ahead of the May training and pool opening.
