Trustees agree to let school survey include municipal‑partnership question as pool future studied

Trustees discussed operations and capital needs for the Weston municipal aquatic center and agreed to let the DC Everest School District include a question about potential municipal partnerships in its community survey.

Finance staff reviewed recent seasonal revenues and expenses and said the pool had not experienced the large annual operating deficits some expected; staff noted periodic, non‑recurring capital costs (for example, the pool surface redo in 2021) can appear large but do not recur every year. The board discussed price changes and season-pass rates; a family season pass for Weston was cited at $170 after a recent increase, and daily admission is $7 per person.

Trustees emphasized that partnering with neighboring municipalities or the school district could help spread maintenance and capital costs. Jamie (parks staff) and Jessica (finance) said they would support asking the school district’s survey question about municipal partnerships and would return with more detailed lifecycle and feasibility estimates. No board action to change pool operations or budget allocations was taken; staff were directed to collect survey responses and to provide more detailed capital‑planning figures for future budget workshops.
