Council reviews municipal pool contractor plan; contractor to handle concessions and staffing
Summary
An independent contractor agreement for the Ballinger municipal pool would shift concessions and lifeguard staffing to the contractor; the contractor would keep concession proceeds and pay lifeguard stipends while the city retains responsibility for chemicals and utilities. Council discussed budgeted $40,000 for certified pool operator stipends.
Council reviewed a proposed independent contractor agreement for management of the Ballinger municipal pool. The proposal would have the contractor provide concessions, lifeguards and party services; the contractor would keep concession revenue and pay lifeguards from those receipts. The council discussed a model where the city receives a commission (example: $50 for parties) while the contractor handles day-to-day operations.
Staff said the city would remain responsible for chemicals, electricity and the structure itself, and council discussed budgeting $40,000 to cover certified pool operator stipends. Two staff names (David and Gavin) were mentioned as certified operators who would assist while the contractor transitions operations. No final vote on the contract was recorded at the meeting.
