Clinton committee moves Riverview Pool study and contract to next business meeting
Summary
The Committee of the Whole voted to place a contract and scope for a Riverview Pool engineering and feasibility study on the next business meeting agenda after staff reported widespread structural and mechanical problems.
The Committee of the Whole voted unanimously to move a proposed engineering and feasibility study for Riverview Pool to the next business meeting for contract approval and scope details. The motion, made during committee discussion of pool failures and repair options, passed on a roll-call vote.
Parks and Recreation Director Josh Shakers told the committee there is an aquatic‑center fund balance of about $46,000 that could be used to start the work; he recommended allocating $22,000 now for an initial phase of engineering. "There's $46,000 in there," Shakers said, arguing the city could use the fund balance to begin the study without borrowing or touching general funds.
The motion directed staff to prepare a contract and specifics of scope for presentation at the upcoming business meeting so councilors could formally approve spending authority and contract terms. Committee members stressed that the study should determine whether to repair the historic facility or pursue a modern replacement, and that any larger construction would need to be considered in the city's CIP timeline for FY 2028–29.
The committee's action was procedural: it places the study and contract before the full council at a business meeting for formal approval rather than approving contract execution immediately. The council did not approve construction funding or a final design at the committee meeting.
