Douglass Hills budget keeps pool self-sustaining; swim and dive team credited for revenue
Summary
The council kept the Pool Fund at $242,000 in the FY 2026–27 budget and Mayor Jung said pool income "has helped the pool to be self-sustaining since 2011," crediting the city’s swim and dive team for bringing substantial income.
The adopted budget sets the Pool Fund at $242,000 and includes no anticipated large expenses for the pool in the coming year.
"Income continues to be healthy which has helped the pool to be self-sustaining since 2011," Mayor Bonnie Jung said, citing the city’s award-winning swim and dive team as the primary catalyst for the facility’s revenue. The mayor added that this steady income stream has allowed the pool to operate without major subsidies since 2011.
Council took no separate action on pool operations during the meeting; the Pool Fund figure was incorporated into the adopted overall operating budget.
