Twisp seeks pool manager as council flags budget amendment for pool operations
Summary
Mayor Smith and staff said recruiting a Pool Manager is urgent; Clerk Kilmer said current financials likely require a budget amendment because pool operations were not in the original budget. Council did not take a separate vote beyond direction to pursue hires and funding confirmation.
Mayor Smith said the town is actively recruiting staff for the municipal pool and emphasized the need to fill the Pool Manager position before the season. "It is crucial to hire the new manager as soon as the funds are confirmed," he said.
Clerk Kilmer told council that the town is moving from winter into the busy season and that this year's financial statements will "most likely have a budget amendment due to pool operations not being included in the original budget." Kilmer said administrative staff are carrying extra projects while covering regular duties, including records retention and website updates.
Council members discussed outreach and community support groups; Friends of the Pool provided a briefing to the Parks and Recreation Commission, and Council Member Tim Matsui said the commission discussed phasing the skate park project rather than building it all at once. No formal motion to amend the budget was recorded at the meeting; council members approved related agenda items and received staff direction to continue recruitment and return with confirmed funding details.
The next step is for staff to present proposed budget amendments and staffing recommendations to the Finance Committee before returning to full council.
