Pool draws nearly 10,000 visits; board debates timing for $31,000 sunshade grant
Summary
Pool manager reported 9,972 visits this summer (up from roughly 7,000 last year). Staff presented quotes for new loungers and a $31,000 sunshade; staff recommended applying for the Community Foundation grant in February when funds are replenished rather than the current limited round.
The parks board heard a pool report showing 9,972 visitors this summer, an increase compared with roughly 7,000 visits the previous season, and discussed pool equipment and shading needs.
The pool manager (Speaker 8) identified revenue categories (swim lessons, Square payments) and outstanding invoicing from the health department and noted continuing high use of the slide and climbing wall. She presented quotes for replacement loungers and described significant breakage in chairs purchased last season. "We have 48 chairs left, and the vast majority of the chairs that we have there," she said, explaining the need to return to the original, more durable loungers.
Staff also presented a $31,000 quote for large sunshades for the pool area and advised the board on grant timing: the Community Foundation’s current round had limited funds and staff suggested waiting for the February cycle when the foundation typically replenishes funding. Board members discussed whether to apply now for smaller items or wait for the larger funding window.
