Council hears pool filter timing concerns as Big Blue Bay replacement authorized
Summary
Council approved purchase authorization for two pressurized sand filters for Big Blue Bay ($54,518.00) but debated whether replacement could be deferred; Culture and Leisure Director Brown said replacement typically takes one to two days and preferred to start at season opening.
Council approved the purchase authorization for two pressurized sand filters for Big Blue Bay as part of the consent calendar (Resolution No. 26-21), with the purchase price recorded at $54,518.00 from Swimtime.
Vice Mayor Mashburn asked whether the pool could continue to operate effectively until the end of the season and delay replacement. Culture and Leisure Director Brown said several factors determine timing—attendance and weather such as rain and debris—and that the replacement process typically takes "one to two days." She said she preferred not to delay installation at the start of the season and that, if a brief temporary closure were necessary, patrons who had already paid would be admitted on a future visit at no additional charge.
