Park board delays decision on proposed 2026 pool fees after concerns about timing
Summary
The City of Pacific Park Park Board reviewed a proposed increase to daily and season pool fees but voted 6–1 to table the item for additional data and timing concerns, citing the pool schedule and potential public impact.
The City of Pacific Park Park Board voted 6–1 to table a proposal that would raise several pool admission and season-pass fees for the 2026 calendar year, saying members need more time to review data and avoid making changes close to the pool opening.
Chair presented current and proposed pricing: daily adult admission would rise from $4 to $5; children ages 3–12 from $2.50 to $4; seniors from $2 to $3; adults season passes from $45 to $50; senior season passes from $22.50 to $30; family passes were proposed to change (discussion referenced a move to $100), and a nonresident surcharge of $15 was proposed. The chair said some proposed changes were suggested by the aldermen.
A board member moved to table the item to the next meeting so members could review supporting data. A fellow member noted tabling close to the pool opening ‘‘will impact people,’’ and other members said additional analysis and clear communication are needed. The motion to table was seconded and carried by a 6–1 vote.
The board did not adopt price changes at the meeting; members asked staff to provide additional data and to consider timing relative to the pool schedule before taking final action.
