Resident urges board to act on long‑standing high‑school pool repairs, cites multi‑million estimates
Summary
A resident called for urgency on the high‑school swimming pool, saying prior consultant estimates ranged from $1.5M to $3.2M and that a recent district priority list showed the pool as ninth with a $10M, three‑year timeline; the board asked staff for an update at a future meeting.
A resident during public comment urged the board to prioritize repairs to the high‑school swimming pool, which the speaker said has been ineligible for legitimate competition for 24 years. The speaker said a consulting company previously presented options with costs ranging from $1.5 million to $3.2 million and complained that a more recent district priority listing placed the pool ninth with a $10 million, three‑year estimate.
Board members asked for an update and staff agreed to provide more information at a future meeting. The resident said he had hoped for earlier action and asked the board to include pool status in official minutes and planning materials. "The most expensive one presented by that company was 3,200,000. The least expensive...was 1,500,000," the commenter said, and later noted the recent priority estimate of "$10,000,000."
