Bay City will keep 16th Street pool open through August while budget options are explored
Summary
Council voted to keep the 16th Street pool operating through the end of August while staff works budget amendments and seeks partners; staff estimated carrying costs of about $4,000–$5,000 per month for chemicals and electricity if the city assumes those expenses.
The Bay City Council approved a motion to continue operating the 16th Street pool through the end of August to provide continuity for youth swim teams and public users while the city completes its budget process. City staff recommended the short-term extension; staff estimated that if the city assumed chemicals and electricity the carrying cost would be about $4,000–$5,000 per month.
Scotty, speaking for staff, said the YMCA and partners would continue to provide staffing and that the extension buys breathing room to identify partners or budget savings for longer-term support. Council member (speaker 8) moved to continue operations through August and the motion carried by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
