Pool report: attendance affected by weather and staff; board approves $10 replacement pass ordinance
Summary
Staff reported pool attendance swings tied to weather and staffing; the board authorized drafting an ordinance to allow a $10 replacement season pass rather than charging the full original price.
Staff reported that pool attendance varied with weather and staffing availability, and noted that opening fewer weekend days this year affected revenue (one weekend’s loss estimated at about $21,000). The report stressed staffing challenges—many seasonal employees leave for fall sports or school—and that restoring swim lessons is a priority for next year.
To address lost or damaged season passes, staff requested authority to draft an ordinance setting a $10 replacement fee instead of charging the full $60 original purchase price. The board moved to create the ordinance and the motion carried by voice vote. "So, we're going with a $10 replacement," staff said while explaining the change and how replacement cards will be assigned new numbers in the access system to deactivate lost cards.
