Council authorizes legal action over pool contractor, hears $69K–$225K repair estimates
Summary
City staff reported missing test results from an initial pool contractor and recommended legal action to recover $2,500; the council authorized attorneys to pursue recovery and discussed repair estimates ranging from $55,000 (paint) to $100,000 (replaster) and a roughly $225,000 total project estimate.
The Alcester City Council authorized city attorneys to pursue legal action against the initial pool contractor after staff reported the contractor failed to deliver pressure‑test results and ceased communicating. Staff said the city paid $2,500 to that contractor and asked the council to permit recovery of those funds.
Committee member (S3) moved to allow the city attorneys to take appropriate legal steps against AAA Pools; the motion carried. Staff (S2) described the contractor shortfall as the reason the city later hired a different company and provided a written review of incomplete work.
Council then reviewed repair cost estimates for reopening the community pool. Staff supplied preparatory work estimates of roughly $69,000, an estimated $100,000 to replaster the pool, and about $55,000 to repaint (painting would likely need repeating every 2–4 years). Committee members put the full project scale at roughly $225,000 and debated options to fund repairs, including bids (which would delay work), loans, and fundraising. Staff noted some donated funds remain but did not state an exact figure on the record.
