Director: pool building (1969) needs renovation; ADA and restroom upgrades highlighted
Summary
The pool building—built in 1969—needs more substantial renovation than recent low-cost bathroom fixes, the director said, noting ADA-access concerns and that funding and timing remain under discussion with the mayor.
The director told the board the pool building dates to 1969 and that recent low-cost bathroom updates and lighting changes did not address capacity or ADA access. "It is too small for an average of 280 people per day," the director said, and added that the flow through restrooms is difficult for patrons using wheelchairs.
The director said he and "mayor Schmicker" have discussed renovation options but that finding funding and timing the project against other city priorities will determine when work can occur. He urged the council and decision-makers to use survey data showing patrons’ complaints about bathrooms when considering a future renovation.
