Sedan officials say pool may remain closed after 10-foot liner rip and sinking foundation
Summary
Public Works Superintendent Caleb Ironsyde reported the pool liner has "about a 10-foot rip" and the surrounding foundation is sinking; the council discussed bringing in a pool specialist and seeking grants, and noted the pool may not open this season.
Public Works Superintendent Caleb Ironsyde warned the council that the community pool is in poor condition and may not open for the upcoming season. Ironsyde told the council that "the liner has about a 10-foot rip and the foundation around the pool is sinking," and said the city will need to evaluate repair options and possibly hire a pool specialist to determine whether patching is possible.
Council members discussed seeking grants and bringing in an engineer or specialist to assess the scope and cost of repairs; the minutes record that the city clerk will look into grant options. Wellington Butler suggested having an engineer evaluate the pool to determine what work is needed for this season. No procurement contract or cost estimate for pool repair is recorded in the minutes.
