Menlo pool posts surplus; committee considers using funds for pump and feature replacements

Finance Director Rebecca Deemer told the Finance Committee that the Menlo pool performed better than budgeted in 2025, with revenues 4.2% above projections and expenses expected to finish 1.4% under budget, producing an anticipated surplus of $97,032. Deemer said $65,102 of that surplus will be used to meet the pool's fund-balance requirement and $31,903 is planned for needed off-season repairs; the 2026 draft budget includes no increases to membership fees or daily admissions.
