Piedmont staff detail new customizable pool pass after advisory recommendation
Summary
Staff told commissioners that the city council approved the Pool Advisory Committee's recommended pool pass model and described a modular, resident‑priority pass structure with resident pricing and guest passes; staff said there is no cap on memberships and drop‑in passes will be available.
Staff told the commission the city council adopted the Pool Advisory Committee's recommendation for a new pool pass structure that lets households 'build a pass' tailored to family composition.
"They approved it as it was," said the Director, referring to the council vote on the PAC recommendation. The model includes four base categories—adult, senior, family and youth—with add‑on options (child, senior add‑on and guest) so households can purchase only the coverage they need.
Staff emphasized resident prioritization in pricing and registration windows, additional priority reservation benefits for aquatics programming and pool facilities, and both annual and summer pass options. The full proposal was posted for review; staff noted the document totaled about 75 pages.
Commissioners asked operational questions about crowding and membership caps. In response to whether the program will limit the number of memberships, staff said, "No. Not currently," and described programmatic options such as giving pass holders early entry on high‑demand days or limiting drop‑ins when capacity is reached.
The commission did not take a formal vote during the meeting; staff said they will bring a fuller report to a future agenda to walk commissioners through the details and implementation options.
