Council delays decision on 2026 pool-pass rates after staff analysis
Summary
Councilors reviewed proposed 2026 pool-pass rates and recommended simplifying pass types; after staff cautioned some increases previously reduced revenue, the council voted to table the item for further review.
Deputy Clerk/Treasurer Schmierer presented possible rate scenarios for 2026 pool passes, noting that past larger increases correlated with drops in revenue. The council discussed simplifying pass categories to individual and family passes with an extra fee for lesson participants and recommended further review; a motion to table the item passed unanimously.
During discussion Alderman Kauffman asked whether swim meets are currently charged; Clerk/Treasurer Chamberlin said the city does not charge for swim meets at this time. The council directed staff to return with updated pass options.
