Board discusses aging community pool, endowment income and replacement costs
Summary
Board reviewed the district's pool endowment, which provides interest income; staff said the pool is roughly 20 years past usable life and major repairs or pump replacement could cost in the high hundreds of thousands to around $1 million.
Board members raised questions about the district’s pool endowment and the facility’s repair needs. Finance staff (S3) said the endowment remains intact and that the district has not drawn on principal this year; the board discussed that endowment interest is available for improvements but that major capital replacement would be expensive.
Board members said the pool's pump and systems were designed for outdoor seasonal use and that running the facility year‑round would be expensive; earlier repairs had been accomplished with pooled city donations and grant resources. "It would cost 1,000,000 bucks to fix it," S1 said as a rough estimate when discussing a full replacement. Staff said the district will continue using interest from the endowment for maintenance and will surface larger capital options for future discussion.
