Board hears pool proposal; superintendent and staff cite $10M price and revenue potential
Summary
Superintendent Shaw said a competitive pool would cost about $10,000,000 and staff estimated it could generate program revenue (staff cited $100,000/year in potential meet revenue). The board discussed community use, membership and operational cost offsets.
Superintendent Shaw identified the district pool as a recurring community concern and gave a preliminary cost estimate: "the pool is about 10,000,000," he said. Shaw framed the pool as one element of a larger facilities concept and noted the district must decide whether to include it in any future bond.
Staff and board members discussed models for community use and competitive meets. Shaw said program leaders and staff had modeled revenue and that, with regular meets and community bookings, the pool could generate income: "we can generate a $100,000 a year with those," according to staff cited by Shaw. Board members asked that staff return with concrete revenue projections, membership/pricing scenarios and a plan for community access and operations before committing the pool to a bond package.
