Laurens council approves pool-filling fees and greenlights Change Order #2 for pool project
Summary
The council set fees for residential pool filling — $100 inside city limits, $150 inside fire districts, plus bulk water charges — effective July 15, 2024, and approved Change Order #2 for the Laurens Pool Project; both motions passed unanimously.
Council member Loren Booth moved and Council member Jean Swanson seconded a measure to set residential pool filling fees at $100 for pools within Laurens city limits and $150 within fire districts, with water charged at the city's bulk-water rate, effective July 15, 2024. The motion carried with all ayes.
The decision followed "much discussion" recorded in the minutes about pool-filling logistics and fees, though the record does not specify individual comment details or the bulk-water rate amount. The fee schedule applies to residents requesting city assistance filling private pools and takes effect immediately.
Separately, the council approved Change Order #2 for the Laurens Pool Project. Council member Loren Booth moved the change order; Council member Aaron Christenson seconded and the motion carried with all ayes. The minutes record the approval but do not itemize the change order's scope or cost.
The combined actions update both the city's fee policy for pool services and the ongoing municipal pool construction. The minutes do not indicate additional financing or budget amendments tied to the change order; staff follow-up would be required for implementation details and cost breakdowns.
