Council reviews pool-aquatics budget; city proposes $400,000 subsidy and one new pool operations FTE
Summary
Finance Director told council the aquatic fund will receive a $400,000 general-fund subsidy in FY26–27 as it transitions to a full year of operations; staff proposed converting a part-time pool maintenance role into a full-time pool operations technician to support the reopened community pool.
The Finance Director said the aquatic fund will transition to a full year of operations in FY26–27 and that the city is budgeting a $400,000 subsidy to support the pool’s first full year.
"The aquatic fund transitions to a full year of operations in 26–27 ... generating 2,100,000 in revenues along with subsidy of 400,000 from general fund," the Finance Director said. Staff also proposed converting a part‑time pool maintenance position into a full‑time pool operations technician — the only personnel addition in the proposed budget. Council members asked about fee increases and cost recovery targets; staff said program fees and seasonal pass fees are programmed to rise 10% in the master fee schedule to help support operations.
