Council authorizes removal of pool slide after Ohio Department of Health inspection requirement
Summary
Facing an Ohio Department of Health requirement that a pool slide pass inspection for the pool to open, Steubenville council voted to authorize removal of the slide to allow an earlier pool opening; council noted the slide was reported to cost about $50,000.
City Manager Michael Johnson told council that the Ohio Department of Health requires any slide at a public pool to pass inspection for the facility to receive an overall pool inspection. The manager said one option was to remove the slide — reported in the meeting to cost about $50,000 — so the pool could open after Memorial Day; the alternative would be to delay opening while the slide issue is fixed.
Councilmember Dave Albaugh and others said removal was preferable. Mr. McManamon moved to give the city manager permission to remove the slide; Mr. Albaugh seconded. A roll call was recorded as "all ayes" and the motion carried. Johnson said crews could remove the slide in a couple of days and would proceed.
