Splash pad scheduled to open; pool opening delayed a few days pending chemical balancing
Summary
Recreation staff said the pool refill and chemical balancing are not complete for the previously scheduled May 23 opening; the splash pad will open Friday and the pool is expected to open a few days later once chemistry and pump startup are finalized.
Recreation staff reported that the pool is still being refilled and requires time for chemical balancing and final installations; concrete work and awnings are complete. Josh, who briefed the committee on pool progress, said the pool will likely miss the previously announced May 23 opening and that staff will monitor water level and chemical readings before setting a firm opening date. "Typically it takes about 4 days to get that all filled in," Josh said, noting that chlorine and pH adjustments require additional time before people can safely enter the water.
The committee agreed the splash pad would open Friday, pending staff confirmation, while the main pool opening would be delayed a few days to allow completion of chemical balancing and pump startup. Staff also noted a minor water‑diversion issue around an awning drip edge that they will evaluate to prevent rainwater intrusion into the pool enclosure.
The committee approved routine administrative items (minutes, resignation acceptance) and discussed in‑house versus contracted options for a separate rip‑rap project at a park; staff provided an estimate for doing the rip‑rap in‑house (labor and materials itemized in the packet) and the committee discussed timing options (late summer or fall recommended to reduce park disruption).
