Budget shortfall narrows as Culbertson completes bathhouse work; council approves pool furnishings and surveillance cameras
Summary
Council reported progress on the new bathhouse but flagged a budget shortfall; women's-club grants will fund picnic tables and council authorized pool benches, replacement pool supplies, Garcia Brothers pool repairs and approved surveillance cameras for the pool and town office.
Council meetings from January through June show steady progress on the town—s pool bathhouse project alongside continuing budget tracking and final site decisions.
Council updates across multiple meetings reported remaining LWCF grant balances and county tax-levy receipts. Early in the year the clerk reported $2,534.48 remaining on the LWCF grant and later reported a budget shortfall of $35,641.08; an assessed county tax amount of $22,352.38 was expected to reduce that shortfall to roughly $11,009.22 if fully collected.
The Women—s Club secured $7,000 in grants from the Nyquist Foundation and the Culbertson Area Community Foundation to purchase five picnic tables (one ADA-accessible). Council approved ordering replacement pool supplies and later approved the "Sterling" bench selection for the pool entrance. Garcia Brothers was selected to perform pool-deck edging/repairs without a skim coat based on local constraints and timing; the council approved that work at a special meeting.
To improve security, the council approved purchase of five surveillance cameras for the pool bathhouse and two for the town office. The cameras were approved at the June 8 meeting and council directed staff to follow up on technical questions raised during review.
Council and staff said remaining bathhouse invoices and final tax receipts will determine whether additional appropriations are needed; no final supplemental appropriation for the bathhouse was recorded in the minutes.
