Lenox officials outline plan for baby pool renovation, estimate about $344,000
Summary
City Administrator Allison Kitzman presented a draft Baby Pool Renovation Project to the Lenox City Council, estimating the cost at approximately $344,000 and saying local group Leading Ladies of Lenox plans to pursue grant funding to have the pool ready for the 2026 swim season.
City Administrator Allison Kitzman told the Lenox City Council on July 8 that a draft plan for a Baby Pool Renovation Project carries a cost estimate of approximately $344,000. Kitzman said the community group Leading Ladies of Lenox would like to move forward with grant applications so the project could be ready for the 2026 swim season.
The plan presented was a draft; council members received the estimate and discussion focused on funding options rather than on approving construction or budget changes at this meeting. Kitzman said she has been coordinating with local stakeholders and identified grant-seeking by the community group as the next step to reduce direct city outlays. No formal motion to appropriate funds for the project was recorded on the July 8 agenda.
The renovation, as described to the council, is intended to upgrade the baby pool’s facilities ahead of the 2026 swim season. Project details, including a final design, exact funding amounts from grants or city sources, and a construction schedule, were not specified in the minutes and will depend on the success of grant applications and subsequent council approvals.
The council did not take a vote on construction at the July 8 meeting; the next procedural steps reported were grant applications led by Leading Ladies of Lenox and further staff follow-up to present funding options to the council.
