Summary

Council approved a $3,390 lighting estimate and a $15,745 timing system quote for the Aquatic Center, with Finance staff noting $13,000 in the Aquatic Center Trust and an expected budget amendment to cover the remainder.

The Denison City Council on May 5 approved two upgrades for the Aquatic Center, voting to accept a lighting estimate from McClellan Electric and to purchase a replacement timing system.

Council approved McClellan Electric’s lighting options for $3,390. Parks & Rec Director Ellis told council the pool’s timing system was obsolete and parts were no longer available. Finance staff Jodie Flaherty said the Aquatic Center Trust contains $13,000 and the council approved a quote from Colorado Timing Systems for $15,745 plus shipping; councilmembers indicated the remaining cost would be handled through a future budget amendment.

Council approved both motions without opposition. The timing-system purchase is intended to restore accurate race timing and pool operations while lighting improvements aim to update facility systems in advance of summer programs.
