Waynetown to refinish municipal pool and buy filter parts; landmark aquatic quote selected
Summary
Council records show Town Council President approved a Landmark Aquatic (Spear) quote for $46,623.25 to sandblast and repaint the pool; the council also authorized purchase of filter parts (parts/service combined quoted at $15,700) and approved in-house installation by the utility superintendent.
Waynetown officials reported plans this fall to sandblast and repaint the municipal pool and to replace worn filter parts.
Utility staff provided two cost estimates: Knauss quoted sandblasting at $38,422.30 plus painting at $41,000 (total $79,422.30), while Landmark Aquatic (Spear) quoted $46,623.25 to complete both sandblasting and painting. Bob Cox said he had delegated authority from a prior meeting and approved the Landmark Aquatic (Spear) quote Sept. 24; the Park & Pool Donation Fund will pay for the work.
Separately, Utility Superintendent John Warren said the pool filter is overdue for maintenance. He presented a parts/service quote that listed service at $8,700 and a combined parts-and-service total of $15,700. John said he can install the parts in-house if the town purchases them. The council voted to authorize purchase of the parts and to have John perform the work (motion passed 5-0).
Other facility items noted: a concession-stand window at the ballpark was broken and temporarily boarded; staff will pursue repair through Town & Country. John also recommended phased replacement or re-covering of cracked lounge chairs to spread the cost over multiple years.
The pool sandblasting and repainting work is slated for this fall; council and staff noted the timing is sensitive because falling leaves could complicate the work. Utility staff will report back on scheduling and completion.
