Commission hears details on $2.6 million grant for Glover Pool, city faces $650,000 match
Summary
Staff said the city won a $2.6 million reimbursement grant to renovate the Glover Pool Complex and that the city must borrow up front and provide a 20% local match (~$650,000); the commission was told engineers will lead design with later public input and the grant disbursement agreement is pending.
A city official told the commission the municipality was awarded funding through a state program to renovate the Glover Pool Complex, describing the award as "dollars 2,600,000 to basically redo the Glover Pool Complex." The official said the project scope includes a zero-entry pool, splash pad and pool-house improvements and that the grant is a reimbursement award requiring the city to borrow up-front funds and then seek reimbursement from the state.
The official said the city’s share would be about 20%—approximately $650,000—and that the administration is waiting for a grant disbursement agreement from the state before the commission decides whether to move forward. Staff described limited flexibility to change the grant’s scope and said engineers will develop details with a later public input phase; small budget reallocations would be submitted to the grant administrator for approval.
