Rothschild board to share informational update on Rothschild/Schofield Aquatic Center after noting operating deficit
Summary
Administrator Ryan VanDeWalle told the board the aquatic center faces a sizable operating deficit and potential capital repairs; the board approved sharing an informational update letter with the public and directed staff follow-up, though the minutes do not specify the deficit amount.
The Village of Rothschild Board on Aug. 25 approved sharing an informational update letter about the Rothschild/Schofield Aquatic Center after Administrator Ryan VanDeWalle described ongoing losses at the pool.
VanDeWalle said the facility has been discussed in public reporting since August 2024 and that five individuals had contacted him with concerns or questions since then. He told the board the pool is operating at a large deficit and will require attention for anticipated capital repairs; the minutes do not provide a dollar figure for the deficit. Board members approved the release of the informational letter to help outline the current proposal and intentions for addressing operating losses and long-term repairs (motion Kennedy/Ehster, carried 6:0).
The minutes record the board’s decision to share the informational update but do not include a formal motion to commit funding or a timeline for capital work; staff follow-up tasks were recorded to distribute the letter to the public.
