Council discusses Aquatic Center off‑season operations, noise concerns and revenue shortfalls
Summary
City staff updated the council on Aquatic Center shut‑down and off‑season maintenance; residents' concerns about PA/music volume were raised and staff were asked to explore limits. Treasurer said pool revenue is not finalized and credit card payments were delayed due to a failed ACH test.
City Administrator Jason Sergeant and Municipal Services Director Scott Kriebs updated the Common Council on Aquatic Center operations as the facility begins its off‑season shutdown.
Alderperson Cory Neeley relayed resident complaints about the public address system and music volume at the Aquatic Center, saying levels had been "alarmingly high" at times and suggesting options such as setting maximum volume limits and limiting how long music is played. Sergeant told the council he is working on a solution to address those neighborhood concerns.
On finances, City Treasurer Julie Roberts reported that pool revenue for the season is not finalized and that credit card payments have not been received because a test ACH failed at the start of the season; Roberts said she would contact the vendor RecDesk on Monday if funds are not received.
Sergeant and Kriebs also said they are coordinating off‑season maintenance and noted that concession items will expire next year; Sergeant suggested the council may want to add guidance to the purchasing handbook for handling expiring inventory. Alderperson Jim Brooks noted there could be extra hours in the budget since the Youth Center is not operable at this time.
No policy vote was taken; staff were directed to continue planning maintenance and to report back as needed.
