At the July 14 meeting the chair clarified that the only grant received related to White’s pool is for a splash pad and that no other grants for the pool have been awarded, the chair said.
The chair said staff are considering relocating the splash pad to Jennings Valley Cracked Memorial Park and that the plan has been sent to the state health department for review; the project cannot begin until the health department grants permission. No timelines for approval were provided in the transcript.
Council members also reviewed recent community events. The chair thanked vendors, performers and the fire department for a successful Fourth of July celebration and noted upcoming events including the Mountain Heritage celebration and the Christmas parade.
