Council backs $40,000 for patron-facing Recreation upgrades; pool ribbon cutting set for May 26
Summary
Recreation Director Megan Zollinger withdrew a permanent PA request and asked Council to approve $40,000 for fitness‑room upgrades ($30,000) and a portable audio system ($10,000); the Council expressed support and the pool soft opening and ribbon cutting dates were confirmed.
Recreation Director Megan Zollinger told the Council she was withdrawing a request for a permanent public‑address system at the new Recreation Center after discussion and instead requested $40,000 for two patron‑facing items: $30,000 to update fitness rooms and equipment and $10,000 for a portable audio system to support programming and events. Council members indicated support for the targeted upgrade package.
Zollinger also updated the council on opening events: a pool soft opening was scheduled for Thursday, May 22 at 4:00 p.m., with the formal ribbon cutting on Monday, May 26 at 5:00 p.m., followed by a celebratory event through 8:00 p.m. She requested clarification be posted online about event hours; Council Member Cyd LeMone asked that event hours be made clear on the City website.
