Dike council to seek final costs, explore March 4, 2025 ballot for $469,560 pool repairs
Summary
The Dike City Council voted Aug. 14 to obtain final cost estimates for major pool repairs after receiving a $469,560 quote and to begin the process to place the project on the ballot; the county auditor said the earliest election date would be March 4, 2025.
The Dike City Council on Aug. 14 voted to obtain final cost estimates and begin the process to place major pool repairs on a ballot after receiving a $469,560 estimate for resurfacing the main pool, baby pool and gutters.
Councilmember Mikkelsen moved to have staff pursue final repair costs and start the ballot-placement process; Councilmember Lynch seconded and the motion passed with all ayes. Council members noted additional repairs — including leaked lines, concrete work and baby-pool plumbing — that must be costed before a final project scope is settled.
The quote from Mid-American Pool Renovation covered resurfacing the main pool, the baby pool and pool gutters for $469,560. Council members discussed those line-item needs and the town’s limited budget authority; after speaking with the county auditor the council noted the earliest election date available to place the measure before voters would be March 4, 2025.
Why it matters: the estimated price would require voter approval and could affect local taxes or the city’s capital plan. Council members said the next step is to gather complete, final repair cost estimates that include the ancillary repairs discussed so voters would see a single, defined proposal on the ballot.
Council did not set a final scope or identify a funding source at the meeting; instead it authorized further cost development and the procedural steps needed to pursue placement on the March 4, 2025 ballot. The motion carried and the council moved on to other business.
